I have a question for any and all,

IF I take an acroform and try to insert new text, and then hyperlink it using Adobe Professional 8.0, how can I also modify the text as well?

If I use typewriter tool, I can add black text, and then I can take the hyperlink tool, and make it a hyperlink. I can use the HL tool to underline, and set the destination but how do I edit the text to make it blue so it is an OBVIOUS hyperlink?

I know how to edit the color of existing text within a PDF ,, but what about new text that I add using the typewriter tool? IF not possible is there a better way using Acrobat. .. not livecycle designer??

Thanks so much,

Nat

Don't use the Typewriter tool: use text inserted with the TouchUp text tool selected and the Ctrl key held down, click on the page where you want to place the text. Fine-position it with the TouchUp Object tool.
Another way is to create a Button with No Fill and No Border and add the text at the Label field, then create Link as the button action. This is a better way if you need multiple copies of the same link.
