You can change the color and appearances of comments or markups after you create them by right-clicking the comment and choosing Properties. Also, you can set the new look as the default appearance for that tool.
In the Properties dialog box for each comment, there are two options:
- Check Locked at the bottom of the Properties dialog box to prevent the comment from being moved, altered or deleted.
- Set Current Properties as Default – check this option to set the current property settings as default so that all the settings can be applied by default next time.
Note: You can change the appearance of comments in the floating toolbar, the Format tab in the right panel, or the comment properties dialog box. If you change the appearance through the Format tab, Foxit PDF Editor will save the properties and apply them in the new comments as well. If you change the appearance via the Properties dialog box and do not check Set Current Properties as Default option in the dialog, Foxit PDF Editor will only apply the properties to your currently selected comment.
