Again that is not even a vaguely useful answer and it says by your profile that you are an expert.
My question relates to the default font in Adobe Acrobat for form fields. I don't want to 'click' on anything.
I have found a solution elsewhere posted by someone that is not an expert - just someone that needed an answer and put in the time to find one.
It is beautiful and it is a javascript that is run as an action.
To do this in Adobe Acrobat XI, open Tools and then Action Wizard. Click on 'Create New Action' - Select 'More Tools' and choose ' Execute JavaScript.' Click the arrow icon in the centre 'Add to right hand pane.' There should now be a new untitled action. Double click on 'Specify Settings and paste in the script below.
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
var f = getField(fName);
if (f.type === "text") {
// f.alignment ="center";
f.textSize = 6;
f.textFont = "Helvetica";
// Other properties go here
}
}
The only part that didn't work was the 'center' Font type and size does which is really a great leap forward for my purposes.
Just tweak it to your liking. I found that when you specify the font, there must be no space so for example Open Sans would be OpenSans
I hope this helps someone in the near future.
