Thanks, but, I am a user, not a programmer. I don't understand any of your answer.

So, what you're saying is that the default font of Auto Helvetica used by the wizard cannot be changed, is that correct?

If that is the case, and I don't change the font of a field, if I make the field larger will the type get larger? The font is so tiny, it's hard to read.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, that's correct. And yes, if you make the field larger the default font size used will increase as well.

You can't change the default font (or any other properties) used by the wizard, but you can change these properties after the fact, as George pointed out.

You can use a script to change it after the wizard has done its thing. For example:

// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)

// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document

for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {

    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));

    if (f.type === "text") {

        f.textFont = font.Helv;

        f.textSize = 11;

    }

}
