Some time the update to reader made it so I can't change font size in a form I am trying to fill anymore? I used to be able to click the text thing when filling out a form in reader and I could change the font size of what I was typing into the form. Now it seems to be fixed at what ever font size the form creater used. Which doesn't hel when they want you to send a lot of info in a small form box and have a huge font size.

Is there a way to fix this without buying Acrobat? Heck this thing even allows me to change the text size I am typing.

Even with Acrobat I cannot change the font.

You can (and could) change the font size only if the form creator defined the field as having Rich Text Formatting.

Otherwise, you can only use the font size they determined for the field, which can be a fixed value or it can be set to Auto, so the font size changes depending on the length of the text.

If this is causing an issue you should report it to the author of the form and ask them to change it. You can't change it in the free Reader.
