Help - Changing Font style in acrobat reader for fillable fields

[Francisco15A8]

Hello,

I new to acrobat reader. I started creating forms with fillable fields. The only issue I have now is that I don't like the font style of the fillable fields. I know that I can go to each field and go to the properties and change the font style and size. But the forms has over 600 fillable fields. Is there a way I can do it for all at once ? Thanks

Not possible with Acrobat Reader. You need Adobe Acrobat for this.

Hmm, you can't create forms in Acrobat Reader at all...

Yes you can, but not via the Acrobat Reader interface, you must use Javascript  :

1. Download and install the "JS Console" tool which is part of the free abracadabraTools for Reader:

2. Display the Console, copy-paste this script, select all lines, then hit the Enter key (not Return).

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var oFld = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (oFld.type == "text"){
oFld.textFont = font.Helv;
}
}
