Change font size of text using Acrobat Professional.

How do I change the font size of text inside Text Box/ Callout tool?

When we edit pdfs using Acrobat Professional, we usually put text boxes and call out boxes in the pdf document. Now how the change the text / font size. The answer is simple, but it usually takes more time to figure out how.

Enable to Properties toolbar (Ctrl + E). Now highlight the text you want to change the font size. The tools in the Properties toolbar is enabled now. You can change the font type, size etc.

Note: When multiple pdf documents are open, the Properties toolbar is not enabled, even after highlighting the text. I think this is a bug. The workaround is to close all the other acrobat windows except the one you are editing. If you want the other documents open, use other pdf readers like Foxit, Google chrome (with inbuilt pdf viewer).

It's crazy how Acrobat has all of these hidden toolbars that can't be found unless you know the hot keys for them.
