Hi Acrobat Team

Is it possible to change the font of the typewriter tool and if so how?
Thanks.

Hi Mike,

No, you cannot change the font. It is like an old fashion typewriter in that regard- you get only one font when you hit the keys. However, you can change the size of the type using the Typwriter toolbar (View ->Toolbars ->Typewriter)tools- a nice feature.Hope that helps,

If you want control over type attributes, click the Hand tool and press Ctrl/Option and click on a page where you want the text to appear. Type a line of text. Open a context menu on the new text block and select Properties. You can change text attributes incuding font, style, color, etc.
