Okay, got Acrobat 6 Pro and started tinkering with it. Holy compllicated, Batman!<br><br>I needed to change the font property of the text box I'm putting, um, text in. So, found the option to bring up the properties, check. Changed the font, check. Went to close the option and make the little frame aound the text box go away, no check.<br><br>I can't figure out how to do that. The help window is so complicated, and just as a side note... it would have been easier if they were using the same vocabulary that everyone else does... <br><br>So, back to my plight. Can anyone help, or is there a nice, user friendly web tutor? <br><br>Thanks.<br><br>The thread killer
Why are you doing your text editing in Acrobat itself?<br><br>Was there some program you made the pdf file from? Do the changes in there if you can...<br><br>[color:red]DaddyMac's MP3 to AAC conversion: left to go...</font color=red>
I'm filling out a form that came in PDF format. I don't know how to change the font other than getting into the properties. I have Distiller, but I haven't figured out what the heck that thing is about. The form itself uses Times font for anything I type in. I need to use Curior 12pt font.<br><br>Don't tell me, let me guess, I'm going about doing this the entirely wrong way, right?<br><br>The thread killer
In the "Advanced Editing" pulldown menu, you'll find the "Select Object Tool". Use this tool to double click on the text field you've created and change the "Appearance" options to suit your requirements.<br><br>alec - OFI
To change the appearance, you will need to use the Select Object tool.<br><br>Maybe I wasn't clear - to alter or remove the stroke around a text field, you use the Select Object tool's Appearance options.<br><br>alec - OFI<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by Mississauga on 08/19/03 12:15 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>
I hate to be stubborn, but what difference does it make what font is in a text entry box of a form?<br><br><br>[color:green]Trying to straddle the fence leaves you with nothing but sore balls.</font color=green>
