Adding annotation types

Line annotations

Click the Line icon on the Annotation toolbar. To select a different line, click the down-arrow icon next to the Line icon and choose a line from the list box.

Shape annotations

Click the shape icon (for example, the Oval icon) on the Annotation toolbar. To use a different shape, click the down-arrow icon next to the shape icon and select a shape from the list box.

Highlight annotations to emphasize or bring attention to a particular area of an ApplicationXtender document

Click the Highlighter icon on the Annotation toolbar and drag the mouse pointer from a starting point to an endpoint. As you drag the pointer, a new annotation appears on the page. New highlight annotations appear in yellow by default.

Fill annotations

You can set the default fill color for shape annotations. When you create an annotation shape without selecting the filled setting, only the outline of the shape appears on the page.

When you fill shape annotations with color, the fill color is transparent; you can see the page through the color. If you click both the Fill Color and the Redaction icons on the Format toolbar before creating the annotation, the fill color appears opaque, hiding the part of the page underneath the shape.

Redactions

The redaction feature causes colors to appear opaque instead of transparent. If you click the Redaction icon on the Format toolbar before you create a line or shape annotation, the line or shape outline appears opaque. You can add redactions along with the fill color option to block areas of images or text pages.
