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
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:
https://www.abracadabrapdf.net/utilitaires/utilities-in-english/abracadabratools_en/
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.t

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

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