Writing Doesn't Show Up with Stylus Anymore

Question

I have been writing on documents using Adobe Acrobat Professional 2017 for the last year.  The "ink" from the Stylus would show up just fine when I signed documents, made notes on documents with the stylus, etc. Now, when I try to write on PDFs using my stylus, the "ink" disappears immediately and is very faint.  The "ink" doesn't show up anymore.  Please assist.

Hi Quinita,

I'm assuming that you're referring to the Pencil tool in the Comment section?

If so, let me show you how to make adjustments:

First, if you've not made any mark on the page, you can adjust the color (and opacity) OR the line's thickness from the top bar. However, if you make ANY kind of mark on the page, then you'll see the gear icon on the top right corner and after clicking on that you'll see the Pencil Mark Properties which give you a lot more control. Any settings you do should be sticky.

Somehow, in some fashion, you might have changed one of the settings and now just need to set it to the way you want.
