How to Create a Flowchart in Adobe Acrobat

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a flowchart in Adobe Acrobat

‍

Important note: Acrobat isn’t a dedicated diagram tool. For a polished flowchart, it’s usually better to build it in Word, PowerPoint, Visio, or a diagram app, then export to PDF. In Acrobat, you can still make a basic flowchart using drawing markups.

‍

1. Open Adobe Acrobat.
2. On the top menu bar, click File > Create > Blank page. (Or open an existing PDF you want to draw on.)
3. On the right-side pane, click Comment.
4. In the Comment toolbar, open the Drawing Tools, then choose a shape (for example, Rectangle or Circle).
5. Click and drag on the page to place your first flowchart shape.
6. Click Text Box (or Add text comment), then type a label for the shape.
7. Use Arrow, Line, or Connected Lines to connect your shapes. (Hold Shift to keep lines straight.)
8. Repeat steps 4–7 until your flowchart is complete.
9. Click Close to exit the Comment tool.
10. Click Save As below the Home tab.
11. Choose a folder where you want to save the file.
12. Type a file name, then click Save.
