Question

"All of a sudden" - Aaaarrrrggg.... When attempting to add a comment using the "T" Add Text Comment option, the only font offered is "Symbol". I must have pushed the wrong button at some point - but would really like to get back to what was a NONSymbol font...

Hi,

 

Thanks for sharing the screenshot. That gives better clarity to the whole scenario.

 

It looks like you have changed the Commenting Font style to Symbol, and now the dropdown menu option is also grayed out.

By any chance, can you click on that small down arrow in the dialog box next to "Symbol"? If not, then try this:

 

Open Acrobat>Edit>Preferences [Ctrl+K]> Commenting> Viewing Comments >Fonts> change the font from the dialog box>OK 

Did this help?

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

Nope. The font type is Tahoma...but Symbol still shows up on the Add Text Comment... 😞

Hi @Kevin Stohlmeyer and @dturnidge 

 

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Would you mind uninstalling and reinstalling the application once to see if that helps?

Run this cleaner tool to remove the existing installer and application’s files traces:

Download the Acrobat installer from here:

Thanks,
