Making text box transparent

In Acrobat, in the Comments tab, I tried to change the "Draw rectangle" border to a different color but inadvertently clicked on something that made the inside of the rectangle a solid color. It was transparent before (I use the function to put frames around certain text). In the settings, there's no option to change it back to transparent - does anybody know how to do it? Thank you.

Thank you, Amal. I know where the options box is, however, I'm not sure what to click to make the box transparent. When I make Opacity 0%, the frame also disappears. If I make it 100%, it's filled with the color I've checked. When I use the "Draw Oval" tool, it's transparent and that's how the Rectangle also used to be. How do I fix it? Thank you.

I don't have that option - see my screenshot above. You have a different version of Acrobat.

Hi Riina,

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the troublecaused. AS described you want to make the rectangle transparent in the comments tab 'Draw Rectangle'

Please open the PDF file > Go to Tool > Comments and select the rectangle that you have drawn > Click on the dotted icon as shown in the screenshot and click on change color and then you will get the option to change the fill color, border color and to change the opacity of the box.

Regards

Amal
