How do I change the font and the font size in a fillable PDF

Hi, I have a fillable PDF where only one font has been selected. However, when I open the file in Adobe and highlight the text and press Command (Crtl)+E, I can't change the font or the font size.

Instead I get a small window that says "Properties:No Current selection".

How can change the font on a fillable PDF or make it possible that I can choose other fonts, font sizes or color.

I assume the change has to be done when creating fillable forms in Adobe Pro and if that is the case, what do I have to do in order to be able to change different fonts or sizes afterwards?

Activate rich text in the properties of the text field.

It sounds like you have a PDF form where you enter text. When creating such a file in Acrobat XD, the font type and sometimes the size is set. That means that when someone is filling in the text entry fields, formatting of the text is not possible.
