Universal change to Text Box Text properties?

[Zachary278831829ku9]

I inherited a large file with a lot of text box comments of varying text sizes (see image as an example).

Is there a way to make a universal change to the text size in these text boxes, or does each one need to be adjusted manually?

Thanks for any help.

It's possible to do using a script. What size do you want them to be?

Thanks for the response! In this case, I'd say 20 point.

(Not entirely sure how to use a script, for what it's worth)

OK, then you can do it using this code:

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
if (annots!=null) {
	for (var i in annots) {
		var annot = annots[i];
		if (annot.type=="FreeText") {
			var annotContents = annot.richContents;
			for (var j in annotContents) annotContents[j].textSize = 20;
			annot.richContents = annotContents;
		}
	}
}

You can run it from the JS Console (for details, see: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/javascript_console), or even from an Action or a Custom Command, if you have Acrobat Pro.

This worked perfectly--thank you!!

I might be getting greedy, but is there a way to format the Text Box so it will automatically display all of the text in a text box? In some situations, the change in font size cuts off the text from being visible (see attached). 

Thanks again for any help.

No, sorry, that's not possible.
