After drawing a circle, under properties, the fill option does not work; how can I make this work

Question

I drew a circle and need to use the fill options under properties to fill in that circle. However, when I chose my color to fill, and click ok, the cirlce does not fill.  I can change colors of the lines but cannot fill.  Please advise as to how to make the fill option work

OK - First of all, let me make sure I fully understand the tools you are using. I am assuming you are using the oval shape drawing tool in Acrobat's Commenting tools. Give this routine a try. Before using the shape tool, make your Properties Bar visible (ctrl/cmd E is the fastest way). Then select your shape drawing tool. BEFORE using the tool, check out the Properties Bar. You should see the settings for your pending click & drag shape. Set the line & fill as desired. There's also an opacity setting there that would affect the visibility of a fill. With a color selected for fill, then draw your oval/circle. I'd be curious to know if this works and leaves the desired fill as you draw the shape.

My best,

David
