How can I change the line height in a form field (with multiple lines) in adobe acrobat pro?

[pien_vink]

I made a design with lines in indesign and changed it into a form in adobe acrobat pro. I indicated the formfield for mulitiple lines. I can change the desired font and font color, but where can I change the line height? Problem is that the text is not on the lines I have made.

You need to play around with the font size and position of the field itself until it matches.

Thanks for your reply
This is what I just did.
But I was hoping there would be an easier sloution. But I now understand there is nu way to set the lineheight.

Assign a white background to the text fields. In a digital form lines are useless because there is no type of field that can write askew.

Thanks for your time JR,

I wanted the lines in my design, so I did play around with the font size and position in the field itself until it matched.

It's a shame that there is no option to simply set the line height.

This option has been cleverly hidden by the developers of Acrobat.

Unfortunately, after you clear the contents of the field this setting reverts to its default value, and you have to go back to this dialog in order to re-set it, which not all users know how to do.

Yes, I've tried it out and you are right. Too bad.. it seemed like a really nice sollution.

I apologize from the developers of Acrobat.

It's important to understand that field properties depend on PDF specifications (aka ISO-32000 standard), not on Acrobat developers.
