How does the Underline Text work?
Draw underline lines below text in a PDF — useful for emphasising key terms, marking insertions in redline editing (green is the convention), or stylistic annotation. Drag on the page over each line of text you want underlined; the line is drawn 2 points below the bottom edge of each rectangle so it appears under the text rather than on top of it.
