When the Underline Text Tool is selected, the following options are enabled in the Properties Toolbar:

Fill Color determines the underline color.

Underline Style determines the style of the underline.

Opacity determines the level of transparency in the underline.

Blend Mode determines the manner in which underlines blend with underlying content. These options are explained here.

Keep Selected determines whether or not the Underline Text Tool remains selected after a strikeout has been created. If this option is enabled then the tool will remain selected and can be used to create several strikeouts consecutively. If this option is not enabled then PDF-XChange Editor will revert to the designated default tool immediately after creating an underline markup.

Exclusive Mode simplifies the process of using the Underline Text Tool. When Exclusive Mode is enabled, the pointer ignores all interactive elements of documents other than base content. This makes it possible to create underlines on areas that overlap with other content without the risk of accidentally selecting undesired items. When Exclusive Mode is disabled, the pointer recognizes and interacts with all underlying elements in the standard manner.

Right-click underlined text and select Delete to remove underlines. See here for an explanation of the other options in the right-click context menu.

 

The Comment Styles Palette can be used to save customized underline styles for subsequent use. Right-click the Underline icon in the Commenting Toolbar to view existing styles and/or access the Comment Styles Palette.
