Is there a way to format instructional text to my text field that disappears when clicked?

[MissyS1414]

I have the prompt text figured out using this script taken from this forum: Is there a way to add instructional text to my text field that will disappear when clicked? (PDF For...

// Custom Format script for text field

if (!event.value) {

event.value = "Instructional text goes here";

event.target.display = display.noPrint;

} else {

event.target.display = display.visible;

}

Is their a way to change the prompt text's size and make it different from the type size I have set for them to fill out in the form. I want the type size of the prompt to be smaller than what size they use to fill it out.

Yes, it can be done. You would need to write a script to iterate over all the fields in the file (using numFields and getNthFieldName), check which ones are text fields (using getField and the type property) and then apply the code to them as the Format script (using the setAction method).
