Q: How can I make a tool stay active so I can use it many times in a row without having to start the tool again and again?

A: You will need to make the tool “Sticky”. In PDF Studio there are 2 ways to make annotation tools sticky.

How to Make an Annotation Tool Sticky

From the Toolbar:

From the toolbar, right click on the tool that you would like to make sticky, and then click on “Sticky” in the drop-down menu.
