Text size when editing

Question

When I'm adding text to a regular PDF, not a form, is there a way to consistently change the font size for the document, other than changing the default in preferences for every document? I have my default at 14, but have many documents where I need it at 22-24, or 10-12. When I click to type I have to change the font size. Then when I click in another spot on the document it resets to the default. If I need to add text in 20 different places on the same document, I have to change the font size 20 times. It'd be nice if there was a way to set the font size in the individual documents as needed instead of having to change the default every time. This is with Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 11 Pro.

Hi @Mo37688579mbqq,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response.

If you are still looking for a solution, you might want to check in Acrobat-> Menu-> Preferences-> Content Editing-> Font Options if the section for "Default font for Add Text" has changed or been altered.

It is, by default set at 12 for me, however, Acrobat recognizes the text and the size and sets the fonts accordingly (screenshot attached).

If this is not what you are looking for, please feel free to write to us here: https://adobe.ly/40wJGuX to ensure it reaches the dev team for review and future changes.
