Question

Double-spacing in form text box

I've created a form from an existing document, adding text boxes where called for.  Per the instructions on the original form, the text must be double-spaced but I can't find a way to format this.  Suggestions?

I know this was a long time ago -- but this should not be a difficult answer.  

Here goes -- I hope this helps.

 

If I understand correctly, 

1) Added Text Box

2) Typed Text in the Box

3) Once the text is typed in a Text Box:    a) First --- Size the box the width size you want it to be   b) Then, go to the end of each line and hit enter to double space the lines    c) It should be double spaced.  

Note:  The reason you need to size the box first is because if you change the width size after you have hit "enter" at the end of each line, you'll need to readjust the lines to match the box width.

 

This is the only way I could figure this out. 

Hope that helps.

Hi Karenburns,

Do you mean the space between the lines in a mult-line text field? If yes, then you may follow the steps suggested below-

  • Make sure "Allow Rich Text Formatting" is selected in the options tab.
  • Exit form editing mode, highlight the text in the field and press ctrl + e. A Form Field Text Properties window should appear.
  • Click "More" and change the line spacing in the paragraph tab.

For more details, refer to the forum thread where similar issue has been addressed: Line Spacing for Text Fields

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,

Akanchha

Why do you have to basically play twister to do something simple in this software? Your reviews are FAKE. NOBODY in the design industry likes Acrobat PDF Pro. NOBODY. It is the single most frustratingf, useless softaware to exist. So much so that I firmly believe the developers are sadistic a-holes who go out of their way to make things difficult for God knows what reason. You (the company) has consistently ignored each and every complaint about the software and just went on your merry way doing whatever the hell you want because you believe you have monopoly. Please just answer me WHY????

That's funny.  That's EXACTLY how I've always felt about Microsoft and all their garbage.  You sure Adobe is worse?
