Have you thrown away all of your typewriters yet?
By Michael Morse | September 30, 2009
If not, this handy tool will allow you to do so today! No more ribbon or correction fluid purchases or messes. We presented this tool at the MAJ/ABA techshow a couple of weeks ago and it got more oooh’s and ahhhh’s than anything else we presented.
Adobe Acrobat has a Typewriter Tool. You can type on any document using this tool. For example, a set of interrogatories that your opponent will not send you in Word format, or a fax form that needs to be filled out. You no longer have to print out, type or write on, sign, and then scan back in. Simply use this tool and an electronic signature and you are all set.
Here are the instructions straight from the Adobe help website for your convenience:
- Choose Tools > Typewriter > Show Typewriter Toolbar, and then click the Typewriter button.
- Click where you want to type, and then begin typing. Press Enter to add a second line.
- To change the text properties, select the text, and then use any of the following tools in the Typewriter toolbar:
- To change the text size, click the Decrease Text Size button or the Increase Text Size button. Or choose a typeface size from the pop-up menu.
- To change the line spacing (leading), click the Decrease Line Spacing button or the Increase Line Spacing button.
- Choose a color from the Text Color pop-up menu.
- Choose a typeface from the typeface pop-up menu.
- To move or resize Typewriter text block, select the Select tool, click a Typewriter text block, and drag the text block or one of its corners.
- To edit the text again, select the Typewriter tool, and then double-click the Typewriter text.
