Tools are the main method of drawing objects and editing your documents. When you choose a tool, it customizes the Infobar (see the Infobar Overview) to show information and controls relevant to that tool. For example, when you choose the Text Tool, the Infobar only shows text controls. The currently chosen tool defines which actions can be performed on the document. Click one of these buttons to choose a tool:
