When I use the pencil tool in Reader, I cannot draw with it; rather, it just makes dots. (When I use Acrobat, however, I am able to draw with the pencil.)
How do I fix this? I'm trying to show students how to use the pencil tool, and making only dots with it isn't useful.
Select the Comment (the Pencil drawing) > Right Click > select Properties from the context sensitive menu.

What does it say when you bring up Properties for the Pencil tool?
And is this happening on all machines or just yours?

How are you able to access the pencil's properties? Also, once you do that, what property would you change to make the pencil actually draw rather than make dots?

I'm having the same problem. For some reason the pencil tool is only drawing dots now. When I right click on the dot, it brings up the properties menu just like you show. What do I need to change to get it to draw a line again?

none of these changes will make a difference.
You cannot even stretch the shape out with the arrow tool

There does not appear to be anything that makes any changes on the right click menu
