Where is the Paragraph Tab for setting Line Spacing in Acrobat DC?

[skysajedi]

I am setting up a form with dropdowns that populate text into 2 form fields.

I have used both Javascript and the Javascript Editor within Acrobat DC, and, it is really working fine.

However, I would like to set the line spacing (e.g. line leading) closer, so I can get more lines into the form field or text box when it populates with text.

I have read online that all I have to do (in a MAC) is click into the form text box, and hit Command E, and I get the Text Field Properties. Once I hit the "more" button on this dialogue, I am suppose to see a new dialogue box open, and, see a tab with "Paragraph" on it that will allow me to set line spacing.

In my version there is no "Paragraph" tab. Will Acrobat DC allow me to set line spacing?

Thank you

Did you do exactly what I said? You have not confirmed that you have left form editing. You must be filling the form, and typing IN THAT FORM FIELD.

Yes, let me confirm yes, I left form Prep, so, just the PDF is open only!! No editing is taking place!

Well it worked for me first time. The moment I clicked to fill the rich text form, the More button in the properties bar worked and showed the paragraph tab.

Welp, it does not in my version!

However, the ONLY way you can get the properties to open is to have the text box live.

Your last screen shots were really useful. They got us on the same page and showed what was wrong. Can you now show the Properties etc when you serving regular form fill, have clicked and CHANGED some characters in the rich edit field we saw you define.

The "instructions" you referenced were a user post and user answer in the now locked "Acrobat User Group" forum. They are clearly state you need to set the field's properties to "Use Rich Text Formatting" and "Multi line" options checked or enabled.

The text field need to have the "Use Rich Text" options enabled. If you field will display more than one line you also need to enable the "Multi line" option.

Select the field and use the combination keys of <Ctrl> + E or <Option> + E to bring up the "Properties" window and select the "More" option to bring the more options widow and a tab for "Paragraph" settings.
