Typewriter feature

[Arnold]

I used the typewriter tool to fill in a bid form which had 6 identical areas to be filled in, one below the other. I used the “shift arrow key” combination to get the text close to where I needed it. Later I tried to select all 6 items to move them together, and could not do it. I was using the control key with the mouse buttons to select the items, but only one item could be selected at a time.

I then opened the document in Acrobat and the control key / mouse button combination allowed me to select all 6 items and move them. I changed one of the items in Acrobat and re-opened the file in PDFXV. Everything looked good until I tried to change that same item again. At that point the font changed from Segoe UI Print to Arial. The other items that were never opened in Acrobat did not do that. When items adjusted with “shift arrow key” are opened in Acrobat they seem to bounce up, but then return to the correct spot after any changes are made.

The “shift arrow key” feature is great for form filling. It would be even greater if more than 1 item could be selected at a time. It would be wonderful if the properties for all selected items could be changed also.

Thank you.

Hey Arnold, aerst2,

Selecting multiple objects is planned for ver3, and as for this behaviour of a font being suddenly changed can you please attach both the original and Adobe changed files (or similar samples) so we can have a look?

Best,
Stefan

Here is a page with text added using the typewriter feature that changes. I used PDFXV to add the text and then added to it in Acrobat 8.2.2. Seems to change to Arial when re-opened in PDFXV.
