Freehand drawing tool - how to exit

Hi all, first post.
using the top menu for and selecting the icon for freehand, I see the cancel and save buttons on top, so it is obvious how to exit.
but I used the tap hold to get a pop-up menu which has "Note Text Freehand Signature" choices. 
and once I got into the freehand drawing mode via the pop-up menu I cannot get out!
I cannot figure how to get out of drawing mode. everything I do just produces more lines or dots on the document, and I cannot stop quick cancel save or exit.
I tried all gestures I could think of, tap, hold, double tap, two fingers, nothing seems to work!
what am I doing wrong?
I managed to get out by opening another docuemnt in Reader, then tap to get top bar, then "document" and got back to the original document by selecting it, but I dare not try the "drawing" pop-up again!!!
this is on iPad 3

I also have an iPad 3.
When I bring up the contextual menu by clicking, and select "Freehand," I get the same Save and Cancel buttons on the top.
You might want to reset your copy of Adobe Reader by force quitting it. Normally, an app stays in memory even though you've moved to another app. To force quit it, try this:
Click the Home button to return to the main screen. Double-click the Home button to show the list recent apps. Click and hold down the icon of the Reader app. You'll see red "delete" buttons appear. Click the delete button, and the Reader app will disappear from the row of apps.
Re-open Reader, and try again.

  • HT5886 Switch Control "freehand drawing"?

    "Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, tapping, dragging, typing, and even freehand drawing."  How can switch controls be used for freehand drawing?

    Hi Hermant0010
    We have seen this behaviour too and we are trying to track down what causes it to occur. (I manage a number of idevices for use with persons with tetraplegia - hence my keen interest in switch control)
    What switch devices are you using? I see you have two switches attached?
    Also you are using an iphone with iOS7. We have upgraded to 8.
    I am not sure how we get this case out of the iPod section - maybe start a new one in an iOS stream?

  • Cloud Tool - How does it work?

    We can't figure out how to get the Cloud Tool to work - it just puts down a red wavy line that stops wherever you click on the page - I want it to circle stuff but all I can do is make stupid lines....
    It doesn't work like the circle, oval or box tool.
    I guess no one know how it works......

    Thanks,
    Is there a key combination you can hold down to make it roundish or square
    or scale it proportionately?
    Please don¹t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
    Thanks!

    Subject: Cloud Tool - How does it work?
    The cloud tool works in a similar fashion to a polygon tool. Click to draw
    lines keep clicking until you get back close to the origin. The Cloud will
    close itself and open a comment box for your use.

  • Unable to use other drawing tools

  • CSS Styles Panel and DIV Draw tool

    In Dreamweaver CS6 Creative Cloud, how do I access the CSS styles palate/panel and is there a DIV DRAW tool, or do you resort to the tracing tool to draw website layouts?

    DW is not a graphics app.  You cannot draw layouts on screen.  You need to use CSS code to create the basic layout and HTML for your structure. 
    You may find it helpful to jump start your projects with one of the pre-built CSS Layouts in Dreamweaver CS6.
    Go to File > New > Blank Page > HTML > Select one of the Layouts in the 3rd panel and hit the Create button.  SaveAs filename.html.
    Learn to use CSS floats, margins and padding to align elements.

  • Drawing tools as annotation

    The drawing tools do not work well as annotation because of the automatic item selection when using tools. For instance, when using the pencil tool, it is not uncommon to accidentally select the markup when trying to cross a "t", dot and "i", or simply try to make corrections to the text (like add an "s" to the end of a word). If one would try to use the pencil tool to do freehand drawing, say of a face, it is likely that some of the mark would be automatically selected rather than the drawing continued. The problem with the selection is that it typically prevents the cross, dots, and other extra changes to the markup and usually leads to the user moving the markup across the screen as it is selected and the swiped (as the cross or other pencil move is made).
    What is needed in the drawing tools is to turn off auto-selection (or make it an option) and add a select tool. I tried to use the object select tool, but it does not work on the markup. So one additional tool is needed in the drawing tools to select items and the auto-select should be removed. It would also be nice if a broad eraser was available in addition to the pencil eraser.

  • Freehand drawing

    How do I change the weight and color in freehand?

    After you've drawn the line and tapped "save" to save the shape, you will be sent back to the scrolling document view. You can now tap the freehand drawing to select it, and a context menu will pop up that includes options to change the line weight, color, and opacity.

  • How to exit full screen mode mail message

    Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode.   The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it. 
    In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen.  When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out.  If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected.  I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
    I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option? 
    Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find?  I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages.  This started this morning.
    Can anyone help?  
    I do not know how it got into full screen mode.  It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
    i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns. 
    How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
    I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore.  So i have had my struggles with Mail.  Trying to get through it.  This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions.  Sort of Microsoft-like.
    I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

    Press Control + Command + F on your keyboard to enter or exit full screen mode.

  • Update Rule Routine - How to exit or go to end

    I have a routine where I have a bunch of IF/END IF sections.  I would like to know how to exit the routing from within one of these sections OR go to the end of the routine?
    For example;
    IF CONDITION1
       RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-creditor.
       EXIT ROUTINE OR GO TO END
    ENDIF.
    IF CONDITION2
       RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-debitor.
       EXIT ROUTINE OR GO TO END
    ENDIF.
    END
    I know I can probably structure the IF statements so that they are nested in a way to avoid this but this example I give is simple but I have MANY IF statements and my code is a bit more complicated.  I'm looking for an easy way to exit the routine...
    Thanks!

    Hi Patrick!
    If you don't want to modify the structure of your routine...you can add for every if-clause (at each conditon) a check on to a flag.
    Example:
    CLEAR FLAG.
    IF FLAG = 'X'.
    IF CONDITION1.
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-creditor.
    FLAG = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    IF FLAG = 'X'.
    IF CONDITION2.
    RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-debitor.
    FLAG = 'X'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    Hope it helps!
    Bye,

  • Drawing tool behaviour in Flash CC

    Hello,
    I'm using Flash for about 10 years now, and recently use the new flash CC for my new projects.
    I'm really disappointed with the new drawing tool. I mean, the new behaviour of the old brush tool.
    What did you do to it ? it has always been hard to get the 'what you draw is what you get', with flash.
    But now with that new version, it became almost impossible to draw correctly.
    The strokes are awful.
    And, worst, the behaviour of the arrow, when you want to adjust your splines, is also unpredictable, and unusable !
    I'm not talking about the drawings you get when you draw inside a symbol which is rotated. If you never try it, just do it, you'll laugh... For such a professional tool, costing several hundred of dollars, I don't understand why you cannot rotate and draw in the symbol, and why, after so many years you never find a fix for that...
    Why did you destroy that tool ???
    And is it possible to get back the old drawing engine, maybe with an extension, or a fix ?
    Thank you for your attention,
    - hope I'll not have to force the studio switching to Toon Boom Harmony...

    I know that you can change the overall width with the stroke.  I am missing the width tool.
    I am missing this. . .

  • How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url

    Hi Friends,
    How to exit from a WebDynpro ABAP application and open another url like (www.yahoo.com) in the same window of the WD4 application on click of a Button?
    Regards,
    Xavier

    Hi,
    First of all you should create outbound plug in the window you are trying to exit with plufg type "Exit"
    Then create method handler in the view with this code
            data lo_view_cntr type ref to if_wd_view_controller.
            data lo_win_cntr type ref to if_wd_window_controller.
            data: l_parameter_list type wdr_event_parameter_list,
                  l_parameter type wdr_event_parameter,
                  l_val type ref to data,
                  l_val_url type REF TO data.
            field-symbols: <fs> type any,
                           <fs_url> type any.
            lo_view_cntr  = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
            lo_win_cntr = lo_view_cntr->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
            CREATE DATA l_val type c.
            CREATE DATA l_val_url type string.
            ASSIGN l_val->* to <fs>.
            ASSIGN l_val_url->* to <fs_url>.
            <fs> = 'X'.
            <fs_url> = 'http://your-link.com'.     
            l_parameter-name = 'URL'.
            l_parameter-value = l_val_url.
            INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_parameter_list.
            lo_win_cntr->if_wd_view_controller~fire_plug( EXPORTING plug_name = 'EXIT_PLUG'
                                                                    parameters = l_parameter_list ).
          You can easily change this logic to exit application instead of redirecting to the site
           just changing to
           l_parameter-name = 'CLOSE_WINDOW'.
