Acrobat Standard DC - can't change the text and text box properties

Earlier this week, I lost the ability to change the properties of the text and text boxes.

When I add a comment with a text box or in the text caption, I do all the time, I used to be able to change the font color, size, alignment, etc.

Now, when I go to insert a text box or the legend, all the options in the properties bar are grayed out.

This issue effects ONLY the text in the box and the caption functions. all the other drawing functions work very well. I can change the color, fill and the type of lines around the text, I can just change the text.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

    [title published by mod]

    It's because you copy the title, which creates a clone. Change and it changes the other.

    A duplicate makes a copy of the title, but this copy is independent and any changes that will make her to this single copy.

  • How to change the text box in Acrobat XI, created by earlier versions of Acrobat

    Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to change a text box that was created in an older version of Acrobat and used to fill in a form.

    In my case, I added text boxes on text pre-existing using an earlier version of Acrobat.

    When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to be back on the existing text and not allow me to change the text box I created in the past.

    Try changing the text with the tool 'Add comment text' which is in the notes pane. The text used to complete the form may have been written as annotation, so when you try to change those with editing tools, the original text is being edited.

    Nothing will stop a PDF to be edited or tampered with; a few things will make it harder. That's why we use digital signatures. They don't stop editing, they mean that any change will be recognized as after the signature, so it is an unauthorized change. The signatures are on the interception of fakes, do not stop them.

  • How can I change the text in a pdf document using an embedded font?

    I'm trying to edit text in a pdf document where the text is in a (Nimbus San) embedded font, but when I try to add some text in the text box, it appears in Minion instead of the police of San Nimbus.  I don't understand why I can't change by using the embedded font.

    The fonts are licensed assets subject to single use. They are not intended to share, redesigned, etc..

    As part of the PDF standard that they included in a document so that the document can be considered reliably without the police be installed on the viewing station.

    To change you must have fonts installed on your computer. The possibility for the second parties to use the police violate the licensing of fonts.
