Hello, so i am making pdf fillable forms and when I select multiple text boxes to change some formatting it just copies all the boxes I have selected. Any idea why that is?

Thanks,

You're probably clicking a bit too long and also moving the mouse, so it creates a copy of the fields instead of just selecting them.

Well if you hold control and click on multiple boxes it copies them, I guess that's just the function. I am clicking pretty fast and I do have to move the mouse in order to select multiple boxes. I just always assumes control click was to select a series of items it is for most things like excel, but I guess not here. Thanks for the help anyway but I just do it all manually.

Ctrl+Click does only select fields. Ctrl+Click+Move creates copies of the selected fields.
