  • Customize Appearance: Use the Properties Toolbar to adjust font type, size, color, and alignment to match your project standards or personal preferences.
  • Editing Text: Double-click on existing text annotations to edit the content or adjust formatting as needed.
  • Reuse Custom Text Styles:
    • Right-click on your customized text annotation.
    • Select Add to Tool Chest and choose a desired tool set for future use.
  • Organize Annotations: Group related text annotations by utilizing layers, making it easier to toggle visibility and keep your PDF organized.
