Why Do I have always problem writing in the Text Call out box? Can anyone help me out please! I try to click text call out box to write comments or any issues but seams like 95% time I am having issues with it. sometimes I can go right into it but most of the time it is not working for me. What I am doing wrong?

Hi @rafikk63073889 ,

If I am not mistaken, and assuming that the PDF that you are trying to edit is not a scanned image,  the "Comment" tool is used to edit callout boxes. 

Callout boxes are basically annotations, so the Comment tool in your particular case should be the most appropriate.

@rafikk63073889 ,

Disregard my last reply; there's no need to use the comment tool for that.

Additionally, regardless of the tool that you may be employing to work with your PDFs , wether it is the "Hand Tool" or the "Selection Tool" (the pointing "Arrow"), it seems like the design behavior of Acrobat is to default to editing the callout's bounding box first if a single-left click is made over the text callout box with your pointing device 

If you want to just go straight to editing the text inside of the callout box, just double-left-click quickly with your pointing device on that callout box; it will allow you to edit text right away.

Hello, I appreciate your reply and comments. Yes I did once I click on it sometime I can go right into it but most of the time it brings me box border editing. It was very annoying.  Thank you.
