Question

Text in "Text Box Tool" won't print

Hello, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, version 7.1.0. I put a text box on a sheet like this... Tools > Drawing Markups > Text Box Tool. It was a yellow box, I simply typed some text in it. But neither the yellow box nor the text shows up when the page is printed. So, wondered if could get some opinions on...

1) How can I make the box and text print?

2) If it's a setting, how do I ensure it prints when the recipient gets it and prints, i.e. I force it to always print, so they don't have to bother with setting some special setting(s)?

3) Is there any way to make the FONT bigger in the box, it's way too small.

Thanks
George

    You should in order of preference:

    Edit original document and make new PDF
    Use Text Touchup Tool
    Use Text Box Comment/Annotation tool and flatten PDF, making the comment part of the PDF and no longer a comment or annotation.

    Don't use comments, use real text.

    Thanks... Using an already-created pdf, is there a way to "embed" some text (using any tool at all), and then re-save it with the new embedded text.

    That is, I'd like to make sure that no matter what the recipient prints (or has set his/her settings to), it will still *always* come out with the text I put in it.

    Thanks,

    On the "Print" UI you have to select "Document and Markups" for the "Forms and Comments" option.
