The knee line can be resized in one direction only; horizontal knee lines can be resized horizontally only; vertical knee lines can be resized vertically only. The text box expands vertically as you type so that all text remains visible. You can move the text box itself or together with the end-point line. The text box moves around a stationary anchor pointâthe arrow on the end-point lineâwhich is created when you first click in the PDF. You can modify the color and appearance of the text box and add arrows or leaders to the end-point line.
