I love Preview! I use it often for paperless contracts and editing pdfs. I use Preview more often than Acrobat X to edit pdfs!
I have not been able to find a way to remove shadows from rectangles.
If you know of a way please let me know.
If you are the programmer of Preview, please allow for shadows/no shadows.
Thanks!
Mac OS X (10.7.1), Preview
I had this same problem too. If you go to the line weight section and unclick the very bottom option (a line weight with a shadow) the shadow around the box disappears. It too me a long time to find this but the screen shot makes it much simpler. You can see I was trying to put make a white box with no border or shadow to cover something on a PDF.
Hope this helps someone!
Huh?? I'm using the latest version of everything here, and the shadows are there, just as they've always been.
The white speech bubble does the trick ;-) Wouldn't have thought to try it if I hadn't read it in this thread.
This does work! Thanks!
That was aimed at babymandrake.
I can copy a rectangular selection, but the paste command is greyed out. This is in version 5.0.3 ... is there a newer one available anywhere?
It's probably a PDF. I'm editing an image, where my technique works.
I think Apple just added this to the menu. Good news!
"Annotate > Add Boxed Text" is PERFECT!
Thanks so much!
none of these suggestions are working for me. "Annotate > Add Boxed Text" isn't even there (OS X 10.10)
you have to download the old or original Skitch, the unchanged one, from their website.
EXCELLENT. This little thing has nagged me for so long. Can't believe i did not find the shadow switch. Thanks
this worked perfectly!
Thank you SO much. I knew I had seen it somewhere, but it was nowhere to be found in the menus.
