How do I place a free-form text box in Adobe Pro XI?

I am working in Adobe Pro XI, and am creating a form. The software auto-formats the location of text boxes and fields. Is there a way to manually place the location of this field?

Update - This is using FormCentral which opened from Adobe XI Pro.

  • On my favorite website, free form text boxes are sized strangely and text doesn't fit the allocated space well.

    I don't have this problem with other computers running Firefox - only this one. It is my work computer. I also have problems with Javascript sometimes locking up and having to be paused.

  • 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 does photoshop position fonts in paragraph text boxes?

    I am trying to understand how photoshop places the baseline in a paragraph box.
    I have a number of custom fonts, when typing in a paragraph text box some of these fonts appear to cross over the bounding box of the paragraph text.
    I've looked at the font dimensions, ascender, descender, baseline and x-height and cannot find a common theme that photoshop appears to use.
    Its starting to make my head hurt, so please if anybody knows what calculations photoshop uses to place fonts please let me know!
    Thanks

    InDesign is best for larger amounts of text like full paragraphs, but I use PS all the time for text in ads where text is fairly minimal but infinite visual placement is critical. Then I find staying in PS most convenient. Once you learn the (IMO non-intuitive) text formatting controls, infinite adjustment and placement is possible.
    Text boxes in PS, however, are IMO problematic regardless of font. If one must use PS rather than InD, when possible it is best to simply type text and format using returns, etc.

  • 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,
    C

    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.

    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 change the font size of Text box tool ?

    How to change the font size of Text box tool ?
    I am using Acrobat PDF 6.0
    Tools > Advanced Commenting > Text Box Tool
    I need to know how to change the font size. The default font size is too big.
    let me know
    Thanks

    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

  • How to correct bad PDF display of Excel 2007 graph-Adobe Pro X?

    Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro X; previously had Adobe Pro 8, which worked fine.  Have Excel 2007 files with an Excel graph and a JPG image on the spreadsheet tab.  Both the graph and the JPG are too big, are displaced, and hide spreadsheet data, when the Excel file is Saved As a PDF using Adobe Pro dialog or Excel dialog, or the Excel Plug-In to Create PDF.  For some strange reason, printing to PDF works, although that is limiting.  All of the settings are the same for the Adobe Printer as Adobe Pro settings.  Changing them or going to default did not help.  Just did the latest update; that did not help.
    The graph and JPG are too large for the PDF page.  Paper printing from Excel still works fine. Producing a PDF on another machine with Pro 8 still works fine.  Could not find this problem discussed anywhere.  Using XP, fully patched.  This should not be a complicated process, nor a complex spreadsheet. What is going on?
    Thanks

    Regardless of the method and Adobe product used to create the PDF, including the Excel tool button, the single common factor whether the PDF correctly displays a JPG or graph in the Excel file that is being done at anything other than 100% size is whether the Adobe Printer or a Physical Printer is selected as the default printer in the Windows Printers and Faxes-Settings.  This is true even though the printer is not being used. I have created the same PDF using every method/product and the results are always the same, and only properly display when either the setting is 100% size or the system printer is selected as Adobe Printer.  This is true only after installing Adobe X (8 was previously installed, and worked as expected).

    You say the settings for the printer work fine, but do not for PDF Maker (I am assuming this is what you meant). PDF Maker no longer uses the printer and the settings are independent. Check the settings for PDF Maker under the create PDF menu.

  • Why can't I select Text box in Adobe XI?

    I am SO frustrated. I can't do something so simple as select a text box in Adobe XI. Whenever I try, all it does is edit the text. I have tried clicking all over in different spots of the object with the select object tool and all it will ever do is edit.

    If it is going to edit text, then you have the edit text tool and not the select object tool. However, these have changed in functionality between versions. I just checked AA XI and if you select the edit text and images under the content editing tools, you can select a text box and move it around. I think this is what you wanted. You have to move the cursor to the edge of the box to move it.

  • Filling of S table fails for fields with free form text or description

    Hello Everyone,
    We are trying to rollup a new InfoCube into our BWA system and it fails with a short dump CONVT_CODEPAGE with exception being CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE when filling up S table for a description field.
    The only difference between the new InfoCube we are trying to load and the other existing InfoCubes is that, the new InfoCube we are trying to load has a field/InfoObject which is free form description for a line item field.
    Also, when I checked the application log the system gives out the message "A Character Set conversion is not possible".
    Did anyone encounter this issue when trying to create BWA indexes for InfoCubes which have text columns in the InfoCube.
    We are currently at revision 52.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dharma,
    It's an interesting and new BWA case for me, so sorry no direct answer. I'll try to replicate it in free time I hope you opened a message with SAP Support for this.
    From pure BW modeling perspective I normally model this in a way that this "description" Characteristic A is marked as "Attribute-only" and then used as a display attribute of another Characteristic B, e.g. Line Item Number. From BWA perspective it means that A is not indexed into the accelerator and joined only for display during OLAP time.

  • How to make form text box field display name or instructions?

    Using form tools, I have added text boxes in my PDF that I would like to have the field name display. So the user would understand what kind of info they need to fill in. For example, [Type organization name here] in one box and [type address] in another. This is not an actual form, so I don't want to put those labels outside the field as shown on the adobe sample form.

    You can add your text to the 'tool tip' for the field's properties, use the right mouse click.
