How do I change the color/font of text within a text box?

[ihatyuosmae]

Our office just upgraded from the old version of Acrobat to Acrobat Reader DC.  It is very similar, but I am having one issue with the "Fill & Sign" option.

In the old version, I would click "fill & sign", add a text box to my document, and a text toolbar would appear with options for changing text size, color, and font.  With the new Reader DC version, when following these same steps to create a text box, the toolbar that appears is very unhelpful, and only has the option to change text size by one increment at a time.

I am mostly concerned with the color change, as I use white text very often when editing PDFs, though I would like to know how to change the font as well.  Is there any way to change the color/font of text in a text box, or have they removed this feature? 

Thank you very much for your help (:

This is not possible with "Fill & Sign". In the past it was also not possible.

Create a form text field with the option "Allow Rich Text Formatting".

How do you allow that option?  The only option for a text box I see is the text size by single increments.

In Adobe Acrobat DC use Tools > Prepare Form and create the form text field.

thank you, you helped me figure out.  I need to use "comment" feature now, instead of "fill & sign".  thank you!!

I am not sure what version of Reader I had before, but I could actually change the color of my text, and I could change the font (though only some fonts worked).

I could use the solid box alt-character, change the color to white, and "white-out" any information that was incorrect, and then type over it.  This is what I am trying to achieve again.
