This is super important to actually work with a stylus/pen on a touch dewvice!
1. Once the free hand drawing tool is activated, I can not rest my hand on the display any more
2. To scroll down, I always have to deactivate the free hand tool and then reactivate it again.
Differencing between hand input and pen input is crucial.
As mentioned, Drawboard PDF and Xodo PDF already have that one established in a great way!

As the anonymous commenter said in February, this feature already exists in Drawboard PDF, and I have found that it also exists in Bluebeam Revu, which I use at work daily (but can't install on my personal computer unless I buy my own copy...and I don't really want to shell out that kind of money). I'm surprised this feature request has so few votes and comments to begin with, but this would make for an infinitely better Acrobat product.

It is almost two years since this was suggested by Julian. Drawboard PDF costs £10 and is infinitely superior from a usability point of view on a tablet device. My job involves marking up large numbers of PDFs and having to switch between the pen tool and "move" tool is infuriating.

I have raised the same query with with your support line and on the forum and have now been directed here.

Please could someone provide an update on a likely timescale for resolution. Most of my colleagues use alternative software simply because this deficiency makes using Acrobat so frustrating.

Why is this feature taking so long to implement when nearly every device sold in stores has a touch screen?

Longtime adobe suite user, but this perceivably minor fix is a MAJOR issue and forcing me to test alternative software...
