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.
You should understand that line spacing is a form field attribute.
Form fields attributes are not software-dependent, they are governed by the PDF specifications (ISO 32000).
Features requests should therefore be addressed to ISO, and neither Adobe nor any other software publisher can do anything about it.
