How to reduce the 2D Barcode size and font in Adobe Acrobat?

I am using 2D Barcode to embed data of the  PDF Form . I am using PDF417 Symbology. But I want to reduce the barcode font & the size to a smaller standard size and also while printing.

Since the barcode is big and large , covering the scan area is not easy as the scanner need to position far away from the actual barcode . what is the possibility of making barcode smaller as standard size and also while printing .

Is this a barcode field? If so, you should be able to resize it in Edit

Form mode, just like any other field.

I want to set the std size of the 2D Barcode and reduce the print font also such that I can get the embedded data in the same.

To change the default size change one field and then right-click it and select Use Current Properties as New Defaults. There are limits to how small you can make it, though. Also, I don't think you can set the size of the text used in the barcode.
