Editing text
You can perform last-minute corrections to PDF documents using the touchup text tool.
You can choose from a variety of properties to apply to selected text, including font size,
embedding, color scale, baseline shift, tracking, word spacing, and line alignment.

Note:
The touchup feature cannot be used with form fields.

About the touchup text tool
Acrobat offers the following features for touching up text:
•
Ctrl-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) creates a new empty line of text at the
location where you clicked in the document. This feature is for horizontal text only.
•
A single level of Undo is now available with touchup text.
•
The Embed check box allows you to quickly remove embedding from any embedded
font by selecting it.
•
The touchup text tool edits text on rotated lines in the same way as it edits text on
horizontal lines.
•
The touchup text tool edits text using vertical fonts in the same way as it edits text
using horizontal fonts. The baseline shift for vertical fonts is left and right, instead of up
and down for horizontal fonts.
Editing text with the touchup text tool
While you can use the touchup text tool to edit text, you can only do so one line at a time.
As a result, editing large sections of text can be a slow and laborious task. In general, you
should reserve use of the touchup text tool for minor text edits in a PDF document. For
extensive revisions, you should edit the document in the original document creation
program and then regenerate the PDF file. You may choose to regenerate only the
corrected pages and insert these corrected PDF pages into the document that needs to be
corrected.
