Draw Shapes - add a no fill option

Please add a separate opacity scale for "fills" and "borders" in the draw shapes, or add a "no fill" option for color. Right now they have to have the same opacity, and it would be nice to add boarders without a filled in box.

    Iam trying out Bluebeam Revu and they offer this feature. That software is designed specifically to meet the needs of people in AEC.

    PLEASE BRING BACK THE 'NO FILL' OPTION FOR DRAW SHAPES!!!

  • Kelly Vaughn commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've heard so many people asking for this that I did a blog article explaining why this feature is so important. That article explains in detail why this feature is so important to the UI of Acrobat.

    In a nutshell: "... the default setting of the drawing markup tools is "No fill." Notice how NONE of the giant color swatches are checked? That's because you cannot accomplish "No fill" using this new tool. You must bring up the old Properties bar."

    Please Adobe staff (both marketing and engineering), please read this article!

    Thanks. to Document Geek, after spending hours trying to figure it out, I discovered the properties "secret." Every other Mac app I have used has a no-fill option. Please, please add this into color picker (keep it in properties too.)

    Please reconsider adding this feature. It is a must have for anyone doing drawing markups on construction drawings. Heck, even the default tool settings for the drawing tools are set to "No Fill." If a user changes the fill color of a shape and then wants to go back to "no fill", how in the world are they supposed to do it, given that the redesigned choices of fill colors does not include 'No fill." Why on earth would anyone in the ACE industries use Acrobat for drawing markups if it is seemingly impossible to outline something with no fill?

    Bluebeam, Nuance, and Foxit are coming for your users!

    I'm new to Adobe DC using MAC pro system. I'm facing a difficulty to make the drawings fill off, once make it fill on.

    Also, the only place to find the "No fill" option is in the deprecated Properties bar. Why wasn't it added anywhere in the Color Picker?
