I'm in search of a way to get InDesign to keep my original paragraph styling (color, font, justification) once I export my file to an interactive pdf. I know you can change the font and the size, but there is nothing for color or justification. Is there a way to do this in the native program or can it be done in Acrobat? Please help!
Hi there, thanks for your reply!
I'm working on an interactive pdf invitation to a client so they can re-use the pdf but change the information such as date, time, location, rsvp, etc. I set up my text boxes in the buttons and forms panel and filled the information out accordingly and completely. I noticed that this panel only allows you to select the font and the font size, but not the justification and the color. I wanted InDesign to keep my text field styling (justification, text color) once I export it as an interactive pdf.
Upon doing some meddling around on the internet and in Acrobat, I figured out that I can change the justification and color of my text fields using the "Prepare Form" tool bar. It was annoying to muck around in, however I was able to fix what needed to be fixed.
The process is, you create your PDF form in InDesign then open it in AcrobatPro and there you can change the field's font, colour, alignment and more.
