Modifying Text Attributes
You can modify properties of existing text as well as new text added to a document in a number of common
ways, such as the font and font size, fill and stroke, spacing, and baseline adjustments.
Use the TouchUp Text tool to modify text attributes by following these steps:
1. Select the text or characters you want to edit with the TouchUp Text tool.
2. Right-click the text to open the shortcut menu and choose Properties; the TouchUp Properties dialog
box opens (Figure 8.8).

3. Choose settings as required. For example, click the Font drop-down list and choose an alternate font
if necessary. The fonts currently in use appear first in the list, followed by other fonts on your
system.
4. As you make adjustments, the changes are automatically previewed in the selected text (Figure 8.9).
5. Click Close to dismiss the dialog box and apply the settings

TouchUp Text Results
Your source program's fonts may not convert as you expect in all cases. What you may define as bold or
italic text in a source Word document may actually be a simulated appearance. Unless you have specified
a font that is a named font, such as Arial Bold, touching up the text in Acrobat won't display the simulated
appearance. For predictable results, make sure to embed and subset fonts before conversion if you
anticipate making text changes in Acrobat.
