Change default font color in new text box - Acrobat DC

I see that this question was supposedly addressed in an August 2016 update, but I have been unable to accomplish this. When I make the changes to a created text box and select make these properties default, the only settings saved relate the box properties, not the interior text. Am I missing something obvious?

Hey TXEBWes,

As shared above, that you are unable to set the font color as default. So If I understand your query correctly, then you are referring to the font color shown in the commenting text box below?

1- If yes, then this can be set to the desirable color as shown in screenshot.

2- Right click on the Text-Box and select Properties.

3- Make the changes from here and select "Make Properties Default">Ok

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Regards,

Akanchha

Click on the Meatball menu at the bottom of the toolbar

The customise toolbar menu will pop-up.

locate Annotations in the list and click on the drop-down button. highlight the "Set or change properties for the selected text" option and Click on the add to tool bar button

.

 

 

Select the text you want to modify and click on the Aa button.

 

 

Note, You might need to close down the document and start it up again if it's randomly dissappearing. A glitch in the software I believe.

    Sorry this doesn't help.  this is formatting the box, not the text.

      There is one word for this - UNACCEPTABLE. As with many software companies the simple necessities are ignored / neglected and yet numerous ridiculouus (often annoying) features are introduced.

       

      Always two steps forward and one step back. Software is generally becoming more and more frustrating because developers do NOT understand user needs..........

       

      I pay a lot of money to Adobe and expect much MORE!

        The current bug/feature request for this issue with the most votes can be found here.

        Please let Adobe know how they can do better!

          The confusing part is that there is no setting for font color default. You have to manually type something into the text box then change its color to the color you want as your default. Then right click properties and make default. Took me a minute to figure this out even after readig this post.

            I have Acrobat Pro DC version 2020.009.20063.  The above is fine for changing the default text color using the commenting tool for new text, but I need to change existing text using the editing tool.  When I need to change existing text, I make the edited text red so that I know at a glance what was changed when I print the document.  Is there a way to do this automatically?  The only way I've been able to figure out how do it is to select the text I want to change, change the color to red, then type the edit.  When I have a lot of edits this takes an insane amount of time and there's gotta be a better way to do it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

              I have the same new update - unfortunately, after hours of reserach, it appears they no longer have the ability to "Make Properties Default" when you change the color.  You can go into the defaults and change Font Style and Size, just not the color any longer - such a shame.

                  I had done this and for some reason the only setting that saved was the outline color. In any case, third times the charm. Thanks for your help and detailed explanation.

If you want, you may also manually trigger the update early by opening the application and going to Acrobat>Help > Check for Updates.
