Adobe Pro (on Mac) Add or Edit Text Box

Hello,

Yesterday I worked with many PDFs using the Add or Edit Text Box function. There was a little box that allowed me to change the font/size/etc. of the text I created. Near the end of the day, the box disappeared and I now have no way to edit the text size.

This morning, when I restarted my computer, the formatting box is still missing and I'd like to know how to get it back in view.

I have tried opening the properties toolbar, but it only has my username.

Thanks!

The properties toolbar should work - as long as you have selected the correct annotation. W

If you however added static text, you would need the functionality to edit static text. Which version of Actobat are you running?

It does not work. It look like this:

Nothing is "click-able" inside the toolbar.

Version 10.1.1 on a Mac

Based on some comments I found online, there may have been a problem with this toolbar showing up correctly with certain versions of Acrobat X. The last release is 1.0.1.16, I would upgrade to that and see if you can get the toolbar back by just clicking on the "Add or Edit Text Box" item under "Tools".
