Things You'll Need:
- Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
-
Step 1
Start Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and open an existing document from your files that contains markup properties that you want to modify.
-
Step 2
Right click on top of the markup that you want to modify to display a shortcut menu. Choose "Properties" from the shortcut menu to open the "Properties" dialog box.
-
Step 3
Change the color of the property by clicking on the color well and then choosing a color from the swatches in the drop-down box. You can also click on "Other Color" at the bottom of the drop-down box. This will open the "Color" dialog box which will allow you to create a custom color to use with the existing markup tool.
-
Step 4
Set the opacity of the markup by typing a new value in the text box beside the word "Opacity" or use the slider to decrease or increase the opacity of the markup.
-
Step 5
Select the other properties you want to modify using the drop-down lists and text boxes in the "Properties" dialog box. The settings that will be displayed will vary depending on which markup tool you are modifying. You can choose a different icon for the sticky note tool and you can change the fill and stroke for the shape markup tools.
-
Step 6
Click the "OK" button to close the "Properties" dialog and return to your PDF in Adobe Acrobat. The properties for the selected markup will be changed to what you just specified.
