#57: Editing Text and Modifying Attributes
•
If the text isn’t behaving
as text, maybe it isn’t.
Scanned text that hasn’t
been captured behaves
like an image: see #61,
“Extracting Active Text
from an Image.”
•
If you add text and it
won’t wrap to the next
line, choose Edit > Pref-
erences > TouchUp
(Acrobat > Preferences >
TouchUp) and select the
Enable Text Word Wrap-
ping check box.
Gimme a Break!
In addition to adding text,
you can add line breaks.
Click the location on the text
block where you want it to
break, and then right-click
(Control-click) to open the
shortcut menu. Click Insert >
Line Break. Then press Enter
(Return) to wrap the text to
the next line. You can use
the same method to insert
other items, including soft
hyphens, nonbreaking
spaces, and em dashes.
