Sorry for the long enquiry, but this is driving me a bit mad, I had hoped that by choosing to use Win 7 64 bit and newer version of Office and Acrobat I would still have the same ease of use as I did with XP and its related program - how mistaken have I been. Unfortunately the forum here won't let me add an image of the Acrobat 8 taskbar, but all the tools that are required can be selected to be shown on the task bar, so that I would have the drawing mark-up tools on the task bar with the text box tool, and the call-out tool etc.
TEXT EDIT SEARCH BOX HOW TO
I just cannot see how to do this in Acrobat X without going from Billy to Jack looking for tools. You can edit away to your hearts' content. In all fairness Acrobat 7 is much easier and logical, you put the text tools on the task bar, open a document, select the text tool, click on the document, a text box appears and you then enter text. So whatever text font and size is selected at the beginning, that font and size remains in the document unless you don't save the document, but instead start again with a different selection of font and size, ridiculous really. I have discovered that by clicking on "Selection tool for text and images" I can add text and the options in "Typewriter" are now available, but although I can choose fonts and sizes once I have typed the text I cannot go back and change any of the text as the options in "Typewriter" are now greyed out again. If I choose "Add text or edit text box" I can highlight the text that I want to edit but even though the "Typewriter" box is open all the options are greyed out. All the options in the "Typewriter"box are greyed out. If I then go to "Tools-Content-Edit text & objects- Edit document text" the existing text box remains red and has a dotted line around it, and I cannot edit any of the text even though the "Typewriter" tool is showing. OK, with regard to Acrobat X - if I open a file with text boxes that are already present and then I choose "Comment-Drawing markups" to add a new text box, I can add the text box but the text is in red and the text appears to be the same size as the document existing text, but I cannot make changes at this point, whichever option I use. Hi guys, first of all may I apologise for a bit of incorrect information, I was using Acrobat 7 previously, not 8. It was pretty simple inAcrobat 8, how do I do it with the same simplicity in Acrobat X. I can add a text box with "Comments-Drawing Markups" but then that doesn't allow me to edit the size of the text, it appears to be a default size, even if I highlight all the text I still can't change the properties of the text. I can add text using "Tools-Content" etc. I have tried in "Tools-Content-Edit Text and Object -Add oe Edit Text Box", and I have tried "Comment- Drawing Markups" but neither seems to give the option of creating a text box in a document and then typing in the text which I can highlight and edit for size, font, colour etc. I cannot find out how to do this in Acrobat X. Then I could just close the text box and then edit the properties of the text box itself, such as colour, thickness of line etc. In my previous version I used to have the text tool on the task bar so that when I needed to add a text box to a document, I could just click on document markups and add a text box by clicking on the open document, and the double click on the box to edit text that I entered, either the style or the size or the colour. I have been using Acrobat 8 up until I installed Acrobat X recently.
Hi, I would like to ask what is probably a simple question.
