For more information on the differences between MDI and SDI (Single Document Interface) check out the following blog entry. With MDI, all the document windows resided under the same parent application - so you saw more consistency with the toolbar behavior. This means that how the toolbars behave when you have multiple documents open has changed. In your case two things changed for you in Acrobat first the text box tool is now context sensitive (version 8 and later) and second the multiple document interface (MDI) was dropped in Acrobat 9. I think the environment you're working in has a lot to do with it (i.e., multiple monitors).

Maybe they could do something for that with the next update (fingers crossed).Thanks for letting us know you got it working.

You might want to let Adobe know that in multiple monitor set ups with multiple instances of acrobat running simultaneously, users are only able to utilize the typewriter and text box toolbars, select font options and set defaults in one instance (very frustrating). Same thing for the typewriter toolbar, I was trying to change the options on the instance I had right in front of me and the toolbar was greyed out, but come to find out in another instance I had open all the options were available. Multi Line Text Field with a specific font size. Below is an example showing the difference between a multi-line textfield with and without auto font size. Go to Options tab and check Multiline checkbox.

Under Appearance tab, click on font size and select Auto 4. I think the problem was that we had multiple instances of Acrobat open so the properties box was popping up on a different instance. Right click on a text field and select Properties. Got to tell you you were 100 times more helpful than the online tech support chat portal or the phone support people.
