How to turn off Adobe Acrobat text boxes when using "Add Text" tool

   At my office, on my PC's acrobat when I select "Edit" acrobat will show me all the existing dialogue that I can edit within its own generated text boxes however when I select the "Add Text" function all of those boxes disappear allowing me to freely create my text anywhere on the document.

 I am trying to locate the setting(s)/Preference(s) that allows my PC's acrobat to have that functionality so I may replicate the settings on a coworkers computer as when I go through the same setup as above the text boxes do not disappear.

Good morning Subrato,

 

   After going through my own PC's preferences page by page and my co-workers preferences I was able to determine that I was able to turn off these "boxes" by setting the "Page vs Document: Do not read the document". Thank you for your assistance, you may consider this matter resolved.

In case you are looking for a setting that disables "showing bounding boxes", there's gear icon on left side while Edit tool is open.

Regards,

Good morning Subrato, 

 

  Unfortunately this setting does not fix the issue when tested.

I'm not sure, if there's a way, however, when you have time, can you record your issue and share here for me to take a closer look of your issue.

 

Regards,

Subrato.
