Change default form field font

[zippidi]

I know there must be an easy solution to this and I am sure I am not the only one to ask.

When I export an interactive PDF from InDesign, the text fields inherit Times New Roman as the default field font.

It doesn't matter what paragraph style is default in InDesign.

Is there a way to change the default font in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI globally so that it defaults to whatever I choose?

Thanks in advance.

This script doesn't change the default form field font for new fields.

Who cares - I have a form with 200 text fields. I want to specify a particular font that isn't Times New Roman. I don't want to have to select every field and change it. This script solves my problem. Thanks for not helping - another expert with no better solution...

The question has been solved satisfactorily so unless there is someone willing to help with better solutions please don't reply.

The reason why "Centering" doesn't work is because the command line is deactivated with "//". Just remove those two backslashes and it would work. Great script though, saved me hours of going page by page in a massive banking form I'm building.

@michaels57386376    I tried your suggestion about the "center"  and //  
but it didn't work for me so then I just changed the word center to "left" and wholaaa  - it worked perfectly.

I'm still trying to figure out how to add padding to the left side - so the text entered in the Form Field wont be butt-up-against the box.

Thank you so much! I was having the same exact problem, now I'm not! The. best.

Does not work. This is ridiculous. A simple no-code function like creayimg a standard font and size for editable fields should not require some dodgy JavaScript which then does not work. Primitive crapware at scale. Adobe is horrendous.

Thank you so very much!  I have searched for this answer for a very long time!  🙂
