I work with Acrobat X at home but at work, they use DC.  After drawing an oval or rectangle, I am not able to rotate it like in Acrobat X.  There is no handle and hovering over any of the points doesn't bring it up.  Any suggestions?

    Correct answer Bernd Alheit

    It is not possible with version DC.

        Hi Anand,

        Thank you for the information. I don’t really care for the DC version. Like XI and know how to use it. Would really like to be able to rotate the ovals as some objects I’m trying to circle are not vertical or horizontal. Hopefully Adobe can make an update for this.
