Form Fields

1) Copy-paste this script in the JS Console, select all and hit the Enter key (Enter is not Return).

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

var oFld = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (oFld.type == "checkbox"){
oFld.style = style.ch;
}
}

"Fonts are copyrighted intellectual property, and we can't ship a complete font to someone who is typing in the form fields. So basically, unless the user has the exact font you specify (possibly including its version of the font), they won't be able to use what you spec anyway."

This is not correct, it is only true for fonts whose license prohibits embedding in a document (PDF or other) and which Acrobat Pro cannot embed. But these are not the most numerous.

I often make forms that use the client's corporate font.

Otherwise we agree that replacing Helvetica by Arial is useless since they are almost identical fonts.

You can't change the default settings applied by the form fields detection wizard. You can change the fields' properties after they are created, though, either manually or using a script.

Part reply. I very strongly advise that you stick with Helvetica rather than changing to Arial. There is NO REASON to make this change, and good reasons not to. If you still believe you do need to change it, please say why.
