Draw directly on a PDF on a PC.
Using a tool to draw on PDF documents freehand is the perfect way to show clearly what content you want moved or removed altogether.
You might be working on a document that includes a lot of visual elements and you don’t want to take the time to describe to your team how they should shift things around. Drawing allows you to communicate efficiently about how to rearrange elements. Or you can add visual layers to a graphic, using the drawing tool to create visual emphasis in the final product. For very short and large words, you can even handwrite.
Whether you want your project collaborators to reorganize a document’s flow, remove or redact PDF content, or even understand your text comments more clearly, Acrobat online services make it easy.
