How can I change the text color in a form?

[Andrealin22]

Hey Community - I have a problem with the design of a form.  Is there a option to change the color of the letters in a textfield???

I cant find the tool for it in the settings.

The settings for form fields are very limited in InDesign. You'll have to change the font color in Acrobat.

Thank you for your regard. This was also my own solution so far. 😕

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Please check out Mike_Witherell's response on Adobe Community discussion(https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/change-text-colour-in-form-field/td-p/10606015?page=1) and see if it helps.

Thank you... this seems an difficult option to change the whole settings, but not for individual coloring in one file.

But maybe the topic could be a good one for the next upgrade?! 😉

Hi Andrea,

It can't be done natively in InDesign, but it (and a lot more interactive PDF form formatting) can be done in InDesign with my FormMagic add-on (https://www.id-extras.com/products/formmagic/)

The free version of FormMagic works with short 1-page forms. Try it out!

HTH,
