In Design mode if you left double click the field, about 2/3ds of the way down 
you can find font and colors/etc.  The UI people really did this backwards of 
what Word, etc users are used to doing (right click for variations of the box).

Not sure about the Field name, unless you use the option in the dialog box 
opened as above.

Hi,  

I'm re-working a pdf form created via OpenOffice and saved as PDF. 
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf  

I've attached the document here but don't know if this list accepts large-ish 
attachments.  

One trouble with this form is that I don't know how to control the input field 
text font/size. I'd like to specify that the fields be filled with Courier 12 
point.  

Many of the filled documents have text that is just to big for the fields. And 
some are colored purple!  

Is there a way to specify the font/size/color? I don't see an option for this 
when in design mode. If I highlight the form field, the options on the right 
menu are Properties: Width: 5.9" and Keep ratio. Styles and Formatting have no 
options.   

And as long as I'm working on this form, I'd like to be able to choose the text 
in the document that is highlighted when the user is in a form field. For 
example, when the user is entering data in the Full Name field, I'd like "Full 
name" to be highlighted. As it is, just "name" is highlighted.  

Any help appreciated.  

Craig
