How to increase UI font size in Acrobat - make text in interface larger - accessibility

Community Beginner ,

How can I increase the font size in the UI for Acrobat Pro DC?

The text in the user interface and menus is far too tiny for me to read comfortably. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi there

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that.

 

Please go to Adobe Acrobat (Mac), Edit (Win) , Preferences > General > Under, Scale for screen resolution select 'Auto Detect' and reboot the application, and check.

 

Regards

Amal, that suggestion did not work for me. Changing that setting in preferences does not impact the user interface at all. I restarted Acrobat as well as my computer, and also adjusted the scaling in Windows, but no effect on the Acrobat UI.

Does it matter that I am using a networked computer? Right now my display resolution is set to the recommended 2560x1440 for this monitor, and scaling is set to 125%.

Hi @PamelaDbq 

 

Sorry for the delay in response, You may try to change the display resolution and scaling on the affected monitor and see if that works for you.

They removed the scaling options for the UI. Even with the scaling up on my monitor, the text to 200% of the scaling of Adobe UI system is tiny. It doesn't scale like the rest of the documents and words. Opening up the menus is tedious. This is ridiculous. The scaling of the Uio should never been removed.

Did you find a solution for this? The text is so impossibly small on my new Surface pro screen that I can no longer use Adobe. It should be simple to change the scale, but alas it is all too small for me to see where/how to change it.
