increase font size of text box tool in Acrobat 6.0

[kevin biggs]

I use text box tool to add redline text, but font is always too small. Can't find how to increase default size (even changing individual text boxes would be a nice start!)

Use the Properties Bar (Ctrl + E)

All the Properties Bar does is give you the option to change the font & the size, not the default. You have to keep changing it everytime you open a new text box.

I also would like to know how to change the default font size on the text box tool, I have spent the better part of a week off and on going through the help menues on this one.

Create your first text box with whatever font/size you want, then right-click it and choose "Make current properties default".

Now each subsequent textbox will inherit the properties of your first one.

Dorian: Thank you for your help that is brilliant!

The text boxes that I add show up on screen, but do not print.
Why is this occurring?

Thanks for the font property fix.

Text boxes are comments, you have to tell the print dialog to print comments.

I have also used the pencil tool. It shows on the monitor what I write, but also does not print on my hard copy.

Thank You! That worked! I am a AW Version 6.0 newbie.
