I suspect that you may have set up the form to be and Adobe Sign compatible form. This limits the type of formatting that you can set, but you can revert to a normal Acroform by selecting the following while in form editing mode: More > Revert to Acrobat Form

Hi randymc1963,

Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat Professional DC are two different programs.  If you have Acrobat Reader DC then you are not able to create fields, you need Acrobat Professional DC ( the paid for software).  Reader has limited functionality and creating form fields is one of those limitations.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

After creating the text field, right-click it and select Properties, then switch to the Format tab and you'll find it there.
