Please allow user to outline and fill text boxes and picture boxes!
Please explain why in the iOS version text boxes and graphic boxes cannot be outlined? How about adding the ability to fill with nothing or fill with a color? When modifying say “a school calendar “ PDF it would be nice to be able to highlight text for labeling the week of spring break with an outlined text box for the “days selected”. Can ya see how this visual Could be useful for parents to see? Or the ability to put a 1 point black “outlined square filled with nothing “around the “dates “ of said calendar Monday-Friday . Teachers around the country use this format specifically to combine behavior charts and information calendars that are sent home to parents. Speaking directly to Designer s : please start thinking about function before form ! end users only care that software is easy to use we care not how the prompts and graphic interface looks. Honestly , who is responsible for signing off on this not well thought out mess. Blizzard uses the online guild my husband started with his friends PAX IMPERIUS to beta test games. Think maybe you should consider doing something similar? Beta test? Using every day people?

Hi everyone, my name is Ansel Carter. I stumbled across this post while browsing and I wanted to leave a quick comment. The suggestion here about allowing users to outline and fill text boxes in Acrobat Reader for iOS really makes sense—I often find myself wishing for more flexibility when reviewing or editing documents on my iPad. Having that feature would make workflows much smoother, especially for people who rely heavily on digital annotations.
Outside of work and productivity tools, I’m a huge fan of Blizzard games. I’ve been playing World of Warcraft since the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and over the years I’ve spent countless hours raiding, doing PvP, and enjoying everything Azeroth has to offer. My favorite character is a Death Knight—I just love the class’s style and gameplay. But there’s always been one thing that I really dislike: farming gold. It always felt like the most boring, time-consuming part of the game for me.
That frustration actually pushed me to look for solutions, and eventually I found wowvendor. Honestly, these guys impressed me a lot. They delivered everything exactly as promised—fast, cheap, and reliable. I was able to simply buy WoW Classic gold through their service here: https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow-gold/classic-gold/ and it saved me hours of grind. The team clearly knows what they’re doing, and they’ve turned me into a regular client and fan.

Absolutely agree with this suggestion — the ability to outline and fill text or graphic boxes would be a huge improvement for practical document editing, especially for educators and parents. Highlighting key dates like Spring Break with a simple outlined box (filled or transparent) makes visual organization so much clearer. I hope the iOS version catches up soon.
As someone who manages both family schedules and content workflows, usability always comes before aesthetics. Tools like this should empower users, not frustrate them. Maybe it's time developers took cues from real-world usage — teachers, parents, and creators alike would benefit. I run a site called merijaneshoes.com, and we always beta test changes with real users before pushing updates. It's essential.
Designers, please think function-first — real users care more about performance than polish.

Totally agree — outlining and filling text boxes would be a huge help, especially for teachers working with calendars and charts. Until then, tools like https://www.krydsordfinder.dk/ show how niche solutions can meet specific needs that bigger apps sometimes miss. Anyone found a good workaround on iOS?
