Removing right and left rounding border of highlight tool for a text

Post by Jakov93 »

Hi again,
I'm sorry for posting many times nowadays,
Please, look at this image

I want to remove the rounding border for the right and left sides, to be like this

From highlight properties, there is no option to do that, but may be there is a secret option to do that.
I don't want to use the rectangle tool, because it takes too much time.
Thanks in advance

I do not know in which version of PDF-XChange Editor it has been changed, but in in the latest version (9.3.361) the rounded corners of the highlight tool are less explicit.

To modify the look of already existing highlights with rounded corners (when using the most recent version of PDF-XChange Editor), you can select all the highlights (via group by type in the Comments pane) and then (via the Properties pane) temporarily change the Blend Mode from Exclusion (in your case) to Overlay (for example). After this, change the Blend Mode again to Exclusion.

Nice one Willy,

I think it was 359 we changed that, it's not in the build history but you are correct it was quite recently that we did that.

Thanks for the excellent fix suggested.
Best regards

Thanks so much, Mr. Willy for this new info
Now, I'm using version (9.3.361), the right and left sides are sharp (not curved)
Thanks again :)
Best Regards

I've not tried this version 9.3.359, but this version 9.3.361 solves my problem :)
However, Thanks for the support.
