You add a box via the commenting tools. Open up the Comment pane (on the right side), then select the "Draw Rectangle" tool. Once you draw a rectangle, you will have to change the properties of the text box to change the color of the frame (and potentially change the fill color to transparent).

Personally, I would use the "Redaction" tool in Professional not only to cover up the text but to actually remove the text.

Add a text box and actually show the box outline. I need to add text boxes (so I can actually put text in) onto one of our maps, I can type the words onto a map but I cannot define the box so that it is visible around the text. Any ideas please. Yvonne Eatock

If you are not referring to a text field but to a text box you have selected with the "Edit Text & Images" tool you cannot do this with Adobe Acrobat. A workaround would be to add a white rectangle image to your PDF, using "Add Image" tool, resize it to adjust the size of the text box, select this image with the "Edit Text & Images" tool, right ...

Since you asked in the Adobe Reader thread I assume you only have Adobe Reader? You need Acrobat to insert form fields ( a checkbox is a type of form field). If you do have Acrobat you can add one checkbox then Right Click and select Place Multiple Fields. Hope this helps, Dimitri WindJack Solutions www.pdfscripting.com www.windjack.com

Set the text field big enough. Then set it to "multiline" and that should do it. If you need to populate it programmatically, insert "\r" as a line break character into the string.

The Box will be selected. Type the down arrow to increase the spacing between the lines (count the number of times you tap the arrow key so you can repeat with Next line). Repeat as needed. You can do Graphics similar. As for line spacing you can add one space at a time in between words as long as the fit within the text box.

You need to do two things: Select a font that has this symbol; Copy&paste the character from a source that allows you to access this character.

How do I insert a calendar into an adobe form. Trying to add a drop down calendar box to a form I am making from a word document. Which adobe field would I use and what do I need to insert to have a caolender? Joseph Payne

Mouseover pop up box. How can I create a pop-up box with a custom message when the mouse hovers over a word in a document? I don't want a link to another part of the document or to another website. I would like a professional looking box which contains further detail on the term I want to highlight. Thank You. Charles Szvetecz
