Question

Editing - selecting colors from palette to draw a line

So i noticed this is kind of a nuisance.  When i use the pallete board to select a color, i select it and then that pallete doesnt close.

There is no save either so i click off of it to make it go away and it then leaves a dot in that color on the PDF. please fix that so that after we select a color the board disappears or there is a save button and it closes.  It isnt enough as is.  Needs work there. Then i can save and click where i want.

    Hi GmoProA,

    Are you referring to the Adobe Reader or Acrobat? And is it a mobile application or a desktop one?

    When you select/change the color the color box should disappear automatically there shouldn't be a problem.

    I have checked the same on both the devices (desktop & mobile) and this issue is not reproducible at our end, so can you share the exact workflow that you follow?

    For the exact procedure of desktop app, you may check Unable to edit properties of text box or callout comments in Acrobat

    Regards,

    Desktop. Adobe Reader DC.

    It is how i said it, but i can type out the steps....

    So select TOOLS, then COMMENT, then click the PENCIL, then select a color from the palette.

    Then you will notice the palette stays open so you have to click off of it.

    When you click out of it on another part of screen , it will leave a dot of that color. This needs to be fixed. The palette box should disappear after selection or you should click save and it should then go away... then i can go to the pdf without that palette display still covering part of pdf.  it just needs a little work there to finish it.

    Also, how do i get notified when you respond? I am not getting emailed, but i used to get emailed or notified.  Do you know how to set that so that i can get notified when you answer?

    Click the icon of the color picker again and the palette will close.
