How to turn Smart Annotation off???

Actually .. Close .... but no cigar. I was trying to re-align a paragraph and control a hanging indent using the pencil. The controls on the ruler move with the pencil and .. grrrrr ..... snap back to where they were before when I let go. This doesnt happen with my finger, but setting the ruler with my finger just isn't as accurate for grabbing those tiny handles. Seems like a bug to me come on Apple.

Thanks. I found the setting to turn on the Apple Pencil use. Was that added in a recent update? It works on Pages, I don't have Numbers or Keynote. Now I can use Pages to write and edit with the pencil. Once again, thanks!

Tap the View Options tool to the right of Documents at the top left, then turn off Smart Annotations.

Also just upgraded to IOS 11.3. Didn’t work either. Also I have found the same problem in Notes.

Yep, it seems that control isn't as useful as it seemed it would be. 😟

I have already done that for Pages and Numbers.

Thanks

Not working for me. That option is greyed out unfortunatily.

Turned out that option doesn't really do what it says anyway. Apple clearly need to work on this feature. 😮

I can edit the ruler if I tilt the pencil all the way to the side... but have to get lucky. I have reported this as a defect.

I can’t find View Options. I used Pages for the first time in a long time today, and I can’t edit with my Apple Pencil or even my finger because of “Smart Annotations,” something I have no use for.

Hi, this was annoying me for ages. Go into setting then into Pages settings. Or the excel Version, Click the button which says “scroll with ipencil”

done.
