How do I change the line spacing in a multi-line text field on a PDF form?

One answer I saw mentioned highlighting the text field and pressing ctrl + e, and then clicking on "more" in the menu that opens. They said you must then click on the "paragraph" tab. However, this does not exist on the MAC version as far as I can tell. What can I do? This is the answer I'm referencing and it does not work on my MAC.

Ctrl-e displays the properties toolbar, which has a number of font an paragraph options. However, these options are only available for Rich Text fields. Rich Text is a setting on the Options tab of the Properties Dialog for the text box.

On Mac the keyboard shortcut is Cmd-e.  On Acrobat DC this toolbar is also available from the "View > Show/Hide > Toolbar Items > Show Properties bar" menu item. You'll see the keyboard shortcut next to the menu item.

Hi 

Thanks for the information.  That helps with aligning the text onc its entered into the box. I was looking to find away that the text was always formatted this way when it was entered into the text field rather than doing after the text was entered.

Thanks

Put one character in the field and format the way you want.  Close the Rich text formatting toolbar.  Highlight the character in the field and press the space bar.  That should do it.

Add a blank space inside the field, so it will retain the formatting 😉
