How does the Add Shape work?
Draw rectangles on a PDF for diagram annotation, callouts, or visual emphasis. Click and drag on each page to mark out a rectangular region; do that as many times as you need. Optional fill renders shapes semi-transparently — useful for "circle this region" callouts. For arrows use Add Arrow; circle / line shapes are on the roadmap.
