Text properties in the Draw tab

When you create a text object, the Draw tab in the Object palette presents options specific to formatting the object.

Type

Sets the type of object. Objects are the building blocks of every form.

 

Allow Page Breaks Within Content

Allows page breaks within the content of a text object.

Keep With Next

Keeps a text object with the next object in the document when a page break is introduced.

Presence

Controls whether an object is displayed in a PDF form when users view the form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, or when users print the form:

•

Visible

The object is visible on-screen, visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence setting for all objects.

•	Visible (Screen Only)

The object is visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space in the form layout.

•	Visible (Print Only)

The object is not visible on-screen, visible in the printed form (when printed from within Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or directly from the server), and occupies space in the form layout.

•

Invisible

The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form, and occupies space in the form layout.

•	Hidden (Exclude from Layout)

The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form, and does not occupy any space in the form layout.

•	One-sided Printing Only

The object is only printed when using single-sided printing.

•	Two-sided Printing Only

The object is printed when using double-sided printing. This option is useful when you want to place the page number in a different corner of the page when using double-sided printing than when using single-sided printing.

  

Locale

Renders the data according to the specified locale for language and country or region. You can select a specific language and country from the list, or you can specify one of these options:

•	Default Locale

Uses the Default Locale specified in the Defaults tab of the Form Properties dialog box.

•	Viewer’s System Locale

Uses the system locale of the user’s computer.

Note:

Locales in the Locale list are organized first by language and then by country or region.
