The first step to create a line or shape annotation is to check the current annotation properties, and, if necessary, change the defaults. For example, all annotations have default color settings that you can change. You can select a different line color, fill color, or both before adding an annotation to a document. You can also modify the default line width, by making it broader or narrower.
Note: Default colors for text annotations are set separately. For more information, see Creating text annotations.
