Question

Text box font size too small

PDF text fill size is way too small and I can not find a way to fix it. I have deleted Adobe Reader and reinstalled it on my Windows 10 machine. I have searched the forum for help and have not found an answer. I have used Adobe Reader for years with no issues. What is the problem!

Solved it.  Go into a Word (probably notepad also) document; blow up the font a LOT and then copy and paste the text into the Adobe text box.  Tested the idea and it works.

If that works it's a rich text form, and you can adjust size using the Properties palette:

CTRL + E or  goto  View (Menu) -> Show/Hide -> Toolbar Items -> Show Properties Bar

The size of the text is set in the field by the creator. If you have the full version of Acrobat and if the form is not locked for editing, you can make the change. (I've done it on many forms that are not locked down!)

You can't do it with the free Adobe Reader.

Contact the creator of the form.
