Line Spacing for Text Fields

New Here ,
Aug 21, 2017 Aug 21, 2017

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and I want to add linespacing to a form field.

I heard you can do this if you set the form to rich text formatting.

So i set the field to rich text and clicked Command+E and got this:

When I click more I get this:

No where does it mention line spacing. Is there no line spacing for form fields?

When I clicked command E I get the image seen in my first post. There doesn't seem to be line spacing for Acrobat DC.

Note that you cannot preset the line spacing if the field will start out with no text in it. Adjusting the line spacing is something the user must do. If you add text and set the line spacing for a paragraph, it will be reset to the default if the field is reset or otherwise cleared.

Ah I see. I had hoped this was not a limitation. Thanks for clearing this up
