How do I move or delete text boxes in Acrobat DC?

[EdTCS]

I'm trying to edit the layout of a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on Windows 11 and have spent DAYS trying to figure out how to move or delete text boxes. No matter what I do, the only thing Acrobat seems to allow is editing the text within a text box. 

Let me be crystal clear: I am not asking how to edit text within a text box; every tutorial I could find on the subject seems only to talk about editing the actual text.  What I'm asking is how to select a text box and either move it to a different position or delete it altogether.  Photoshop, for example, has the text edit tool and the object selection tool; if Acrobat has a similar object selection tool, I'll be damned if I can find it.

Thanks in advance.

Does you mean form text fields or comment text fields?

Hi @EdTCS 

++ Adding to the discussion

If its a PDF form and you have editing rights, open the PDF file > go to Tools > Prepare form and then you would be able to move or delete the text box.

Hope it will help

its 2023 and I have the same question. acrobat has turned into the worst unusable bit of software. shocking

Hi! You can do that with the edit PDF Tool. You need to grad the box at the border to move it. I attached a Screen Recording where you can see what i am doing. (The software is in german but you should be able to find it)

Your video shows moving text boxes around.   How does one DELETE a text box?

When the text frame is selected (as in the video), press the Delete key on your keyboard or use Ctrl+X (Cmd+X) to Cut it.

Gosh, Alexander, THANK YOU, though thats not working for me.
While Ive used Adobe things since 1985ish, this vers of Acrobat is driving me bonkers.

- I opened a PDF, used the edit function to create a text box with one character.
Then Im ABLE to get/see the move cursor, yet EVERY time I touch the text box I created, the cursor changes to the text cursor.
- I can EDIT the darned text, but cannot find a way to KEEP the cursor in its MOVE function with the dots on its corners, to MOVE the text box. 
*Theres got to be a way. Any help, Very Appreciated --tyia!!!
