Fill Properties

Fill properties apply to the inside area of all annotations except Outline annotations.

This is the main color of the annotation when No Hatch is selected. If a Hatch pattern is selected, this color is used to draw the hatches (lines) of the pattern.This color is only used if Transparent Fill is turned off.

The fill color can be changed by clicking on the down arrow on the right of the Color button to pop up the color control. Select a color by clicking on one of the color boxes, or click the Other… button to choose a custom color.

Background Color

This is the alternate color of the annotation when a Hatch pattern other than No Hatch is selected. This color is used to fill in between the hatches (lines) of the pattern. This color is only used if Transparent Background is turned off.

The background color can be changed by clicking on the down arrow on the right of the Color button to pop up the color control. Select a color by clicking on one of the color boxes, or click the Other… button to choose a custom color.
