I want to set the text field properties as

Font size - 9, font colour - dark blue, font Helvetica, height - 0.17 Inch.

For radio button field; fontsize- Auto, text color - dark blue, Border Color - black, Fill color - White, Line style- solid, line thickness-thin, width and height - 0.14, checkbox style - cross.

Same property for check box also.

If possible, I have to run a script on each form I create. Can anybody help.

Thank you.

When you set up your field right click on it (while still in prep form) and select "use current properties as new defaults".

For font try textSize, e.g. event.target.textSize = 12.24;

There are some tools online that convert adobe points to inches which would be 0.17 inches = 12.24 points but how accurate it is I don't know. Also i think it will round to 12 so how you will use thats up to you.
