Acrobat Pro 6.0 - Text Box Properties: How-to change font / default

Inserting text box into an existing .pdf opened in Acrobat Pro ver. 6.0
Need to change font size to smallest. Right-clicking on field to open 'properties', clicking on 'Appearance' tab, BUT there is no choice for 'font'.
HOW DO I...change the font size in a text box?
HOW DO I...set the default to that font/size/color/border/fill?

You need to have the Properties Bar open (Ctrl + E), double-click on the text so you can select some of it, and you should see where you can specify the various font properties.

What happened to Ctl-E and text box properties?

Since installing Acrobaat X PRO, I can't format my text boxes, borders, fill or change fonts or add BOLD.

Be sure you are using the text edit tool or whatever the new name is. You should also be able to select the text and right click to get the properties.

How to change default text properties and text box properties

I'm adding text to a PDF document by using the text box tool. The default is to put a border around the box and also the font is red and larger than I'd like. I think I found how to change the default box properties (so it has no boarder).
For the text/font, I can pull up a menu to change the font properties, but so far I'm having to do this for each box I create. One workaround is to cut and paste new text boxes with the formatting I want, but I still want to know how can I set the defaults to the font, size and color of text I want?

This is one of Acrobat's less intuitive areas!
For defaults, right-click on the text box that is as you want it: then select menu item 'Make current properties default'
Use Ctrl-E to bring up the Properties toolbar: its content will change depending on whether you have the box or the text selected, and selecting the box or text can be a bit clunky.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit.

How to change the font size of Text Box Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit. I am uanble to modify it to 5.38 pt for example. Its only allowing to 1 decimal place.

Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
go to Font
choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
Do this with each field.
Or if you have a lot of fields:
while one is selected select all of them
then go to fonts in properties
change Font and size and make default.

How can I keep acrobat from breaking apart text boxes?

I have a multipage graphic document that I am addiing text to in several stages. I just selected Add Text and entered my content into one "box" for each section I need to add but when I re-open the document the next day to continue my work, Acrobat breaks my single text box of content into multiple smaller boxes making my new edits a complete pain. Is there any way to keep this from happening? I'm running Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.06

I've been giving this some thought.
Generally, the idea of sharing design between two people by having one of them use Acrobat is a complete non-starter. And I would say use InDesign. But it does have a steep learning curve. Nevertheless, it would be the most viable way to collaborate on this project, and the most editable/maintainable for you, especially if the maps were not changing but the contact details were.
But let's look at some other alternatives. Not converting to anything else. Not graphics. Not Word. All terrible, they will leave the thing awful, or enormous, quite probably both.
If you are stuck with Acrobat I recommend a defensive approach.
1. Always keep the un-marked original.
2. Add your text.
3. If you need to edit the text, start by deleting it all.
4. If the text boxes get mixed up with the underlying graphic, give up on the page and use Replace Pages from that un-marked original; add a new caption.

How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader

How do I add text boxes that people can edit font type, size, and color in Adobe Reader? I am using Acrobat Pro XI.

It is possible. Add your text fields and in their Properties set them to have Rich Text Contents (under Options). This will allow the users to specify all kinds of formatting settings for those fields (by pressing Ctrl+E and using the Properties bar).

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

She is the script I'm using
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "cat"
    aQuotes[1] = "dog"
    aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

I upgraded pages. Now when I begin a new document I automatically have a text box. How do I get rid of the text box so that it does not automatically appear. What settings do I need to change?

Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

For updates to higher versions of 8, you would go to Help>Update (assume this works on a MAC as with a PC). You could also download the updates from Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh.

SSRS Drill through report - Text Box Properties, Action - Go to Report

Apologies for the potentially very basic nature of my question, I am fairly new to using SSRS (using SQL Express 2014) and struggling with creating a drill through report using other reports. Where the problem is, is when I go to the Text Box
Properties - Action - Go To Report. Where it says to specify a report, I click on Browse and it only allows me to look in 'Recent Sites and Servers' - I therefore cannot navigate to where my other report that I wish to link is stored. What am I
missing? Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you

If you dont have the report to which you need to navigate within the same project, you should be using jump to URL option and specify full report server url of the second report with only parameter part replaced by the actual field from which you need to
pass the value
Another way is to create a linked report for the report to which you need to navigate within the same project as your first report and then use jump to report option to include the linked report along with its parameters and corresponding values.

use the set_attribute( ) method now to set the attribute with a particular key eg HIGH in ur case
// u can use the code wizard( control +f7) this code will be auto generated when u select the
//radio button to read the context node
DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_node TYPE wd_this->element_cn_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_NODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_cn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_node ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_cn_node = lo_nd_cn_node->get_element( ).
* set single attribute
lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(
name = `ATTribute name.`
value = 'LOW' ).
it will solve ur query ..
also refer to this component
wdr_test_events -> view dropdownbyidx and dropdownbykey ->method name onactionselect.
