Acrobat Standard 8 = Change font from Red to Black

Whenever I insert a Text Box, the font (and box) always comes up red. I've found the option on changing the box color, but there's no option to change the font color.
I've right-clicked on the box to get the Properties box, that only allows me to change the fill and border.
If I right-click on the text itself to get to Text Style options, I'm only given: Bold, Underline, Italics, Superscript, Subscript - again, no font colors.
I've also gone into Edit/Preferences under Document Colors Options and changed around or checked off options, no luck.
Someone else on the forum said I need to go to Forms / Edit form in Acrobat - I'm not given this "edit form in Acrobat" option.
Even when I go to Comments & Markup Tools on Toolbar, all the options for Callout, Text Box, Cloud, Arrow, etc., are even showing the little icons in red.
This is driving me nuts as I use this option frequently. On top of it, when it prints the red shows more gray than black and I haven't found in the Print options to print as black.
Help?!

I was very pleased to find this info too. Thanks.
But something a little more important than how to do it is why is it so hard to find? I'm sure there are many more people out there who can't find this and I think it's because it's hard to find. The intuitive functionality, offered by the Properties Bar in Acrobat, called the Control bar in Illustrator, and the Options bar in Photoshop. Acrobat also appears to be the only one in that list that doesn't contain a secondary tool pallet for each function offered by the Properties bar, found in the Window menu.
I've been through everything Tina looked at and most of them seemed like they should contain the font color, although I couldn't find the Document Colors Option. And if it turned out that you can't edit the color, why would it pick red?
So my two questions are, why is this solution so hard to find?
How do you change the default font color so you don't need the Properties bar?
Ok, I feel better now :)

  • I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Pro

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Standard DC andf upgraded from Acrobat XI. When I instalkled it on my PC the print Production Tools were there and functional. I installed it on my Laptop and those tolls are not there. What do I need to do to have Print Production Tools on both computers?

    This is quite odd. I wonder if you could try something for me on EACH computer.
    Use Help > About Adobe Acrobat DC.
    At the top of the box it should say Adobe Acrobat Pro DC or Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
    On each of the two machines, what does it say? (I think something odd has happened)

  • Changing colour from red to white

    I'm working on a catalogue and one of the images (a radiator) needs to be changed from red to white.
    I've looked for tutorials and tips on the web but can only find help on how to change from one colour to another such as red to green or blue.
    Can anyone help me?

    Try here. Link 11 and 12 look promising.
    A quick way to get to white: make a new layer and change the blending mode to color. Paint over the radiator with white in your new layer. When you're done, duplicate the layer and make the blending mode for the second layer overlay. Adjust opacity to suit.

  • Changing text from red

    I am wondering if I can change the text from red from my main blog page. When I click to the actual blog, its cool, no problem, but on the main page where you can see my last 5 entries they wont change, any advice?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions buscador!
    The red text for the last 5 entries is part of the template. You can only change this by meddling under the iWeb bonnet and changing the xml for the template. See Jim MacCormaic's blog http://web.mac.com/curlytool/iWeb/MyLook/iWeblog/iWeblog.html for info on customising the blog templates.

  • Cannot change font from Lucinda Grande

    Hi, recently when creating text using the text generator in FCP 5.1.2 i am unable to chance the font to anything. it is stuck on Lucinda Grande. All other drop menus are functional except for this one. Am i missing something obvious here? It has definitly worked fine before.. any ideas?
    Thanks, Matt

    Are you using FCP's Text tool? For me it has always been the most under-developed and unreliable part of the application. If you haven't already, try recreating your text files in Boris Title 3D (it's in the Boris folder in the Video Generators Folder in the Effects Tab of the Browser). It's easy to use and much more flexible - like allowing you to have different font styles and sizes in the same line, use a lot of cool effects in the Style Palette, etc.
    Also, if you haven't already, do the old standby trash your preferences and repair permissions. Curious: can you change fonts in any other applications?

  • Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 Change computer resolution

    How do I stop Adobe Acrobat 9 from changing the display resolution on my entire computer when I open a .pdf file?  I have scanned my computer with Symantec Cloud and Malware to no avail.  Has anyone else run into this? and if so, how did you fix it?  Thank you

    the resolution is set for 125 but everytime an adobe pdf file is opened, the resolution sets to the Small resolution on the entire computer. we then have to go into the system settings and change it back to 125 Large for the resolution.

    How do I change a mask from white (reveal all) to black ide all

    Hi [email protected],
    Pressing the X key just changes the toolbox color chips (reverses the foreground and background colors in the toolbox)
    Yes if you add a reveal all layer mask (white) and want to turn it black (hide all) then Cmd+I (invert) or invert in the properties panel.
    Thanks

  • Double charged both the previous CreatePDF (PDF Pack) and the current Adobe Acrobat Standard

    I changed my subscription from CreatePDF (PDF Pack) to Adobe Acrobat Standard (online, monthly payment) from December 2014, but you charged the both payments for CreatePDF ($10.46 on 12/1) and  Standard ($12.55 on 12/2) in December on my credit card and no deduction was shown in the January statement. Won't you credit $10.46 for Dec 2014?

    Another possibility to check is the free space in the TEMP folder. I believe Acrobat uses the TEMP folder for temporary storage. You might even consider increasing the size of the TEMP folder. At least this is something else to check.

  • How do you update an AIP installation of Acrobat Standard 10.1.1 to 10.1.7 without uninstallation?

    I am attempting to to update my clients to Acrobat Standard 10.1.7 from 10.1.1.
    They were installed via command line during the machine build using an AIP of 10.1.1.
    I have created a new AIP for 10.1.7 so future installs will already be at 10.1.7.
    I DO NOT have SCCM and can't afford it.
    I need to be able to do this via Group policies, or scripting.
    The only way I've figured out to accomplish this is to do a full uninstall of the product and reinstall from a batch script.
    There has got to be an easier way.
    Please let me now if there is any way this can be accomplished without the full uninstall.

    You can't patch 10.1.1 with 10.1.7. See http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/update-patch-acrobat-reader-10.html.
    See also: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/aip.html
    I think a full uninstall is required.
