How do i change the opacity of a line while annotating in Preview

I am trying to "highlight" items in a pdf drawing. With adobe you would do this by drawing a line and changing the opacity. Is there a way to do this in Preview?

MacBook, iOS 8.3

Hi mdemontigny,


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you'd like to change the opacity of a line or shape in Preview that you've created using the Tools > Annotate menu.


You can change the color, including opacity, of a line or shape using the Color controls on the Markup Toolbar (View > Show Markup Toolbar):

If the Markup toolbar isn’t showing, click the Show Markup Toolbar button User uploaded file, then do any of the following:

Fill a shape with color: Select the shape, click the Color Fill button User uploaded file, then choose a color.


Click "Show Colors..." from this menu option to show the Opacity slider.
