I created a shape using the polygon tool. I can modify the thickness of the line, but the fill option does not work. How can I fill in color using a polygon shape?

The new UI in Acrobat DC is less than clear. The color picker has two tabs, but they don't look like tabs. Is "Fill" underlined and have a color checked? You may also want to try the Properties panel: Cmd/Ctrl + E.

Here is an article that explains colored polygon fills in depth. Scroll down about halfway till you get to the part that starts discussing Acrobat. Document Geek: Number Knitting #4: Virtual Coloring in Acrobat DC Using the Drawing Tools.

Hi, I wonder how you got on with this.  I can't make any sense of the responses to this.  I have drawn a polygon and it won't fill with colour even when I set a fill colour.  It only seems to want to colour the outline.  Did you find a solution?
