That's the tool I use for whenever I have forms to fill out.ĭocument Geek: Acrobat Typewriter Tool: Just Embrace it!Īnd if you need to flatten the comments so that they become part of the body of the PDF (as opposed to just comments), try this flattener script: Flatten Form Fields and Comment using a FREE Acrobat X Action It's from a few years ago, but it still works in all the current versions that I've tried it in. I wrote an article about it a number of years ago, and it all still applies Adobe just keeps changing the name and location of the tool. After selecting this option, the user should choose the Spelling option, which can typically be found near the bottom of the list. Have you considered using the Add Text Tool from the Commenting tools, rather than the Add Text tool that literally adds text in the body of your document? The Add Text Comment tool is easier to work with, lets you change the formatting more easily, and doesn't assume that you want to edit ALL the text in your document when you click on the tool. The first step is to select the Edit option from the menu bar, which is usually located at the top of the page. I tried it on three different documents, and got three different results. It seems to me that the Add Text tool analyzes the current document and pre-sets the tool with whatever Acrobat assumes the body type of the document is. How do I set the default setting for "Add Text"? How do I change the size of the field box? How do I go back to edit text added to a document without all of the original document becoming editable? This is especially a problem with a PDF document created by someone else that was meant to be printed and completed. Third, once saved and I go back in to edit the text that I added, all of the original document becomes editable and each field is overlapping one another, making it a pain to try to edit only the text I added without, again, having to move boxes out of the way. I have several 100+ page PDFs that consist only of tables of text, and I am trying to change the font of all of the text in the entire document however, this is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated. As a result, text spaced closed together but in different fields overlap and if I want to change one, I have to literally move all the other out of the way to get to it. 1 I'll preface by saying that I am not a graphic designer, so this question might be staggeringly obvious. Also, the box in which to type is way larger than the actual text and cannot be resized small. I have to constantly change the settings. In previous versions, the typewriter function allowed me to change the font type, color, and size and would remember it for each document opened.
