Question

Cannot change font in form fields

My google research is leaving in a loop. 

 

Everyone is asking how they change the font on form fields (in my case text fields and date fields)

 

I know that you open Prepare Form, Right Click the field, Select Properties, Select Appearances

 

You SHOULD then see the font size selection box where you can select AUTO, or a specific size

 

I see font size but NO option. No selection. I can change the font. But not the font size. 

 

As a result the text in my fields is too big to fit and leave out numbers.

What is the solution?

    Kind of weird. Does this occur for you on the attached form too? If so I suggest a problem with the installation itself.

    You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using
    To ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/
    Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the Acrobat forum
