How can I select form fields across multiple pages in a document and make changes (i.e properties -> appearance/font) all at once? I am working from a PC. When I try now, it will not let me go past the first page with form fields, although there are multiple pages with the form filed boxes in the same place.

In the "Prepare Form" mode, sort the form fields alphabetically, highlight the field names for the fields you want  and then right mouse click to bring up the "Properties" pop-up and you can select the properties in common for multiple fields and change them as needed.

Another way would be to use JavaScript to access each field that needs to be modified and then changing the properties. I would create an array of the field names that I want to modify and then use a for loop to process each named field in the array.

Make sure you tick the Enable Scrolling option under View - Page Display.

You should also be able to do it in the Fields List section in Form Edit

mode.
