About this tool

Reviewing a document often means pointing at something: the clause that needs changing, the figure that looks wrong, the field the recipient must complete. A drawn box or circle does that far more clearly than a written description of a location.

Choose a shape, give it a position and size as page percentages, and set the outline colour, thickness and optional fill. Filled shapes with a low opacity work like a highlighter over a region; unfilled ones leave the content fully readable inside the outline.

What it's good for

  • Boxing the section of a contract that needs attention.
  • Circling a figure in a report before sending it back.
  • Ruling a signature or entry line onto a form.
  • Shading a region to draw the eye during a review.

Features

  • Three shapes

    Rectangle, ellipse and straight line.

  • Percentage placement

    Works identically on any page size.

  • Fill or outline

    Semi-transparent fills act as region highlights.

  • Vector output

    Shapes stay crisp at every zoom level.

Questions people ask

Can I draw freehand?
No — shapes are placed by coordinates, which makes them precise and repeatable.
How do I cover something up permanently?
Use Redact PDF; a black rectangle drawn on top does not remove the underlying content.
Can I add several shapes?
Yes, run the tool again on the result for each additional shape.
