PDF drawing

Add freehand pen marks and structured shapes to PDFs for review, explanation, and visual markup. Drawing tools export as PDF annotations or flattened page content.

Workflow

  2. Choose Pen or Shape from the toolbar.
  3. Draw freehand marks, rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, or polygons.
  4. Tune stroke width, fill, arrow size, opacity, and color.

Controls

  • Shape tools support rectangles, ellipses, lines, arrows, polygons, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons.
  • Pen marks are stored as ink annotations.
