Question

Different amount of text boxes on different PCs

Hi,

 

We regularly produce PDFs with number bullet points on a page. I have recently swapped out a users PC and now when they open any example of this document they get a separate text box for each bullet point. If I open the same on my PC I get 1 large text box, which they also had on their previous PC - does anyone know how we can change it so this user also sees 1 big text box? 

 

Thanks in advance

    It's a new feature, see:

    That's great thanks, the only thing is the option to turn it off isn't where it says it should be on the bottom of that page!

    I have made sure it's fully up to date and tried repairing the install just in case, do you know another way to get this back to the old way of working?

    Thanks

    That new feature is only for certain Acrobat users. It is the new Acrobat.

     

     

    @TomHawes What version of Acrobat are you using?
