Q: How can I edit the color or appearance of annotations, markups, or form fields that I add to the PDF with PDF Studio?
A: There are two ways to edit the appearance of annotations, markups, or form fields within PDF Studio. They can be quickly edited using the Quick Properties Toolbar or using the Annotation Properties Dialog
Quick Properties Toolbar
The quick properties toolbar allows you to edit the selected object’s properties without having to access the object’s properties dialog. The quick properties toolbar options will enable and disable based on the available options of the selected objects. More than one object’s properties can be edited at the same time as well.
Using the Quick Properties Toolbar

Select the object (annotations, markups, or form fields) that you wish to edit
- Note: More than one object can be selected at a time
