Using the Pencil tool

The Pencil tool lets you draw free-form lines in Adobe PDF documents. Use the Pencil
Eraser tool to erase parts of the pencil markups that you drew.

To sketch with the Pencil tool:

1. Select the Pencil tool

from the Arrow tool menu on the Drawing toolbar, or choose

Tools > Drawing Markups > Pencil Tool.

2. Move the pointer to where you want to begin drawing. You don't have to use one

unbroken stroke. You can release the mouse button briefly, move the pointer to a new
location, and continue drawing.

To specify the line width, color, and other properties of pencil marks before you

draw, choose View > Toolbars > Properties Bar, and select the desired options from the
Pencil Tool Properties toolbar.

To edit the pencil comment:

from the Arrow menu on

the Drawing Markups toolbar, and then drag across the areas of the drawing that you want
to remove.

2. To change the line width, color, and other properties, use the Hand tool

to right-click

(Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the drawing, choose Properties, and then select the
