Callout tool text box auto-width
Hello
Is there a way to make the callout tool's text field to act like that of the typewriter?
In that it continues to expand its width unless you press enter till you reach the end of the page on the right side. Do you see what I mean?

Hello, MedBooster
No, you will need to define the size of this comment type manually, or right click after filling, and use the "fit box by text content" function: Kind regards,

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Is there a way to enable a keyboard shortcut or something to automatically fit the borders at least?

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Found the keyboard shortcut in the editor never mind!
BUT I am sure that a lot of people would still appreciate a way to enable this by default for the callout tool! Would save some valuable time on not having to use the keyboard shortuct / right clicking and choosing the option every time

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Hello, MedBooster
Glad to see you found it, for anyone reading this later on, the process is described here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowle ... nd-actions
As for the border issue you described in your image earlier, I am not seeing that same issue, though I am unsure what exactly you are trying to describe. The "border" width is 1pt by default, but it can be changed from the format tab while the "comment" is selected (not while the text within is selected, as there activate entirely separate editing modes). If you mean the "fit box by text content" feature does not work at smaller text sizes, I similarly cannot reproduce any issue with that, and it seems to resize the box properly.
Kind regards,

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Ok, but what about an option to continue typing with the call-out tool till you reach the end of the page? Because as of now the call-out rectangle has a fixed width, which I do not like

Hello MedBooster,
No - there's currently no way to tell the callout tool to auto expand as you type.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
nooo please consider adding this, because as opposed to the rectangle tool for example dragging and dropping does not resize the box, only the arrow of the callout tool

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Hi MedBooster,
I'm pretty sure this is defined in the ISO specs, not by us, so I will check into that.
One question however I have is this:

Did you mean the text box tool? I cannot reproduce this "Resize the box" by drag and drop. Do you mean the "grab handles"?because as opposed to the rectangle tool for example dragging and dropping does not resize the box,

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
What I meant is, in my opinion it would make more sense for the callout textbox to keep expanding till you press enter or reach the end of the page because you are positioning the arrow when dragging and dropping with the mouse, you are not able to change the size like with the rectangle tool – without clicking escape and then clicking on the text box part of the callout element.

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
The guys (dev team) said they would take a look at this.
There is a formal feature request for it: RT#6015: Feature request :: Editor :: Improvements to CallOut Tool
As always, the ticket is internal only and what will be delivered will ultimately be at the discretion of the development team leader.
I do not have an ETA for delivery of this feature.

Re: Callout tool text box auto-width
Also, if not allowing the callout text box to expand just like the typewriter text box, it would be great to at least be able to customise the default height and width in your callout tool presets:
(because as of now it is just one default size, no matter what font size you have, etc.)Wishlist
