Starting from Foxit PDF Editor/Reader V12.1, we have redesigned the mini-toolbar which would pop up when selecting an annotation or making an annotation in a PDF file.
The mini-toolbar allows you to perform further operations (modify properties, open pop-up notes, etc.) right after an annotation is created or selected.
By default, the floating toolbar appears right after you create an annotation. If you don't want the floating toolbar to appear upon a comment creation, please go to File tab > Preferences > Commenting, and deselect the option "Pop up floating toolbar after comments created",click on "OK" to save the setting.
Note: With the option "Pop up floating toolbar after comments created" deselected, the mini-toolbar won't appear when creating an annotation,but the mini-toolbar will still appear when selecting an annotation.
Starting from Foxit PDF Reader V2023.3 and Foxit PDF Editor V13.0/V2023.3, please uncheck the option "Show floating toolbar when comments are created or selected" under the Commenting tab in the Preferences dialog box. This will prevent the mini-toolbar from appearing when you create or select an annotation.
(Note: The Foxit PDF Editor V13.0 has already been released, while Foxit PDF Editor/Reader V2023.3 has not been released yet and is the next version to be launched.)
