When the Strikeout Text Tool is selected, the following options are enabled in the Properties Toolbar:
•Fill Color determines the strikeout color.
•Opacity determines the level of transparency in the strikeout.
•Blend Mode determines how strikeouts blend with underlying content. These options are explained here.
•Keep Selected determines whether or not the Strikeout 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 a strikeout markup.
•Exclusive Mode simplifies the process of using the Strikeout 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 strikeouts 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 usual manner.
