when handwriting, edges getting to sharp
When I'm handwriting comments in a PDF, sometimes the edges are getting to sharp, like an arrow. I'd like to set the settings of a freeform line, for the endings to round or square. For example in MS Visio I can choose the "cap type" between flat, round or square. Thank's a lot and Regards

It seems to be a limitation of the PDF annotation tool itself - in many programs, the "freehand" automatically uses sharp (butt/miter) ends and does not allow you to change them.
Try checking the Pen/Brush settings: sometimes there are options like "line smoothing", "pressure" or "style" that soften the edges a bit. If not, it is worth looking at alternatives - for example, Adobe Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF Editor sometimes give you more control over the appearance of the lines.
