How to Remove a Border in Adobe

To remove a border from a text box in Adobe, you can access the Properties Bar and change the border settings.

Specifically, for elements like text boxes in Adobe Acrobat or similar applications, follow these steps to remove their borders:

1. Select the Object: First, select the object that has the border you want to remove (e.g., a text box, shape, or form field).
2. Open the Properties Bar: You can show the Properties Bar by pressing Ctrl+E (or Cmd+E on Mac). This bar provides quick access to formatting options for the selected object.
3. Locate Border Settings: Once the Properties Bar is open and the object is selected, look for options related to the border. You should see settings for border color, thickness, and style.
4. Remove the Border: To remove the border, you need to set the border option to 'nothing' or 'transparent'. The reference states, "Then select the text box and you should see where you can change the border color and/or remove it by setting the border to nothing". This usually involves selecting "No Color" or a similar option for the border color.
