In Design mode if you left double click the field, about 2/3ds of the way down
you can find font and colors/etc.
I'm using a Mac and don't know how to left double click the field.
This means click twice on the left side of your mouse.
If I control click or two-finger click the field I get a menu: Position and
Size..., Description..., Name..., Control..., Form..., etc.
Wonderful, now select Control from the menu.
Are font and colors etc. in one of these sub-menus or how do I left double
click?
In the Control menu scroll down till you see the Font selection field
here your able to change fonts and colors.
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.
I found Label Field in Properties: Formatted Field menu and it looks like I
might have to create label fields for all the input fields. Sigh.
Thanks,
Craig

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
