How Change Font or Font Size in Text Box???

How do I Change the Font or Font Size in Text Box that I have inserted in a previously created .pdf file.
Could not find any info on this in Help file. Thanks for any help.

Use the text touchup tool, select the text, and right click to change the properties. If you mean a different type of text box, then look for the same type of changes, but use the same tool you used to create the text.

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.

let me know

I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

It's not so simple to find it if you don't know what you're looking for... But it can be found via View - Show/Hide - Toolbar Items - Properties Bar.

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

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
Hope this helps to get you started.

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?
When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it. I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.
thanks,

Add another page below the current one to use as a storage area. You can't use the grey area around the page for storing items you want to use later.
Go to the Pages Menu>Provide Pages Feedback if you would like to request this feature be added in future versions.

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,

Change font name/size in text box

I am trying to create a Pages document with text boxes and would like to use different fonts and sizes in each box. I've tried using
make text box with properties {object text:receipt_date, vertical position:7, horizontal position:2.5, height:0.5, width:3, font name:"Courier", font size:24.0}
but it doesn't work.
Any help gratefully received.

I see two things; you should "make new text box" and font name and font size are properties of the text, not the text box.
The following worked for me:
set the_text to "Hello World!"
tell application "Pages"
          tell front document
                    set new_box to make new text box with properties {object text:the_text, vertical position:2, horizontal position:1, height:3, width:4}
                    set properties of object text of new_box to {font name:"Courier", font size:24.0}
          end tell
end tell
Edit: The "set new_box to" part isn't needed unless you want to refer to the box again in the script.

Font not changing after a CR in a text box

I have some vb.net code that fills in a report, including text boxes. Some of the text boxes are used like a header and have a fixed size. When the desired text is entered, sometimes there will be a character indicating a carriage return/line feed goes in that spot to make the text more readable, and is replaced when found. This works fine.
What does not work is after the text is set up, the user can change the font. The code then goes through all the objects on the report and changes the font. The problem is that when it tries to change the font on the text boxes where the CRLF is, the font change is applied up to the CRLF, but is not applied to the text after it. I end up with mixed fonts in a text box.
Is there a special character or method to get the font to be applied correctly? I have tried all combinations (chr(10), chr(13, chr(10) & chr(13), etc) but so far nothing has worked.
Here is the code I am using to apply the font change:
Dim objText As ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject = CType rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject)
objText.FontColor.Font.Name = myFont.Name
If myFont.SizeAdjustment <> 0 Then objText.FontColor.Font.Size += myFont.SizeAdjustment
rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(CType rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject), objText)
One more note - this appears to work fine for formula fields. I just can't seem to get it to work for text objects. I have many reports and I would prefer not to change them all to formulas.

I am new to crystal report objects (I inherited the code I am working with), so I need a bit of help. I tried the following code:
              Dim objText As ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject = CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(obj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.TextObject)
              For Each pobj As ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Paragraph In objText.Paragraphs
                pobj.FontColor.Font.Name = myFont.Name
                If myFont.SizeAdjustment <> 0 Then pobj.FontColor.Font.Size += myFont.SizeAdjustment
                rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Modify(CType(rcd.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.GetAllReportObjects().Item(pobj.Name), CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.Paragraph), pobj)
              Next
but I get the following error: Public member 'Name' on type 'ISCRParagraph' not found. I am having trouble finding where the proper paragraphs collection is.
What am I doing wrong?

Getting CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular when adding text box or text callout

Just updated Acrobat X Pro on Mac to v10.1.10
Now if I try to add a text box or a text callout (text box with arrow) I get a popup error saying "CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular"
Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi oscar18,
This is usually caused due to corrupt/ invalid font libraries.
On your Mac, open up 'Font Book' and follow the instructions below:
Hit Cmd + A to select all fonts as shown above
Click on File > Validate Fonts
This will open up the Font Validator that will scan all your fonts and will notify you if there are any corrupt fonts. If you do see any corrupt font libraries, please remove/ delete those fonts from your computer. Then try opening Acrobat and check.
Regards,
Rave

Custom themes: How do I create & edit an auto-text box?

Hello
Continuing my exploration of custom themes
I have now found out how to make text boxes editable (control-command-option-T, that was carefully hidden!) and am now struggling with creating and editing 'auto text' boxes (not sure what their real name is in Keynote-speak)
1) Creating new text boxes:
Let's take a simple theme like White. One of the Masters is Title + Bullets Left. Now let's assume I want to create two text boxes with bulllets - the existing on the left and another on the right. In PowerPoint it's pretty simple: highly text box; copy; paste; move & resize as needed. Well Keynote won't let me Copy so that's out. If I create a fresh Text box, I can mimick the indent levels, bullets, font attributes, etc. (long and painful) but it still won't work because it is not a placeholder text box (fixed size) but a regular text box (size depends on content).
I'm sure I'm missing a trick!
2) Edit auto-text boxes
Again, take any theme, say White again; If I choose a Master with a set text placement, say Photo Vertical, there is very little I can do with it: I can change text attributes and box size, but I can't touch the number of indentation levels for example. Then again what defines a text box as been 'double click here to edit' from a regular placeholder?
Overall I think I'm missing a whole editing 'avenue' regarding masters - Anyone care to guide me?
Thanks!

You can set a text field to be multi-line and tick off the option to scroll
long text to have it automatically wrap, but you'll have a problem with the
first partial line, since form fields can only be rectangular. Another
problem might be the lines themselves, since you'll have to use a font size
that will fit them exactly, or it will look odd. I would suggest getting
rid of those lines altogether. They are not needed when filling in the form
electronically. It's a relic from printed out forms where people had to
hand-write their answers.
