Drawing curved lines

Post by eman_resu »

Hi - New (to PDF Exchange) user so please be nice.

I am trying to draw a curved line as a mark-up over one existing on a .pdf so that I can highlight the original below.

I have noticed a 'bezier line' which looks to be what I am looking for, however i cannot seem to be able to select it for use.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've had a look at the manual and it mentions an 'edit tools' menu, which I cannot find either.

Thanks in advance

Hello eman_resu,

Welcome to our forums.
First - if your line is an annotation object - you would need to "Flatten" if first:

Then with the "Edit Objects" tool selected, you can right click on the now flattened object to select to Edit it:

This will update the ribbon menu.
You can then "Convert to Bezier" and start working with the object:

(It is inactive on my shot as I've already converted the line from the earlier images to the Bezier curve.)

Kind regards,
Stefan
