Text Field Properties No Longer Includes "Format" Option?

Used to have an option to change a field's "format" to do handy things like phone numbers and dates.

Since most recent update, this seems to be missing, along with a number of tother options.

Has this feature been removed? Am I an idiot, not seeing it somewhere / doing something wrong?

Any tips much appreciated.

Open the "Prepare Form" tool pane, click on the "More" menu and select "Revert to Acrobat Form".

I don’t have the “more” tab. What else can I do?

Hello @erica_9284

I hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. Sorry for the trouble you had.

Could you please share more details about the issue?

Are you on a Mac or Windows machine, and what is the version?

Are you using Acrobat or the freeware Reader desktop app?

Is this happening with a specific PDF, or with all the PDFs where you don’t get the ‘more’ tab?

Could you please share a screenshot of the window you are getting?

If you are on a Windows machine, repair the app from Menu > Help > Repair installation, restart the machine, and try again.

Reset the app preferences, and restart the computer:

Let us know how it goes, and please reach out if you experience any issues or need any assistance.

Regards,

Anand Sri.
