Default Font in Adobe Form Designer

Posted by Theo van der Sluijs on 7 Sep 2009 in Adobe Interactive Forms | 0 comments

I see a lot of questions on the web about setting a default font in Adobe’s Form Designer.

Like this one:

How can I set the  default font for fields in Forms Wizard?
I know that I can right click on a form field, and set the format for future fields based on that field’s appearance, but when I run the Forms Wizard on a doc the fields all end up as Helvetica.

Is there someway to change this behaviour, or, failing that, is there an easy way to change the appearance of all the fields in a file after the fact? I know I could do it one by one, but that gets a little boring.

I also see a lot of not really working solutions about setting the font. Like Search Replace in the XML Source or select all fields where you want to change the font and change them.

But there is a solution !
