When I have Acrobat8 automatically create fields on an existing form, the default font size is Auto. Can I change this default?
Or after generation is there a way to change the font size on all the fields? Thanks.

Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Select one or more fields and right click on one of them. Select "Properties". You can change the font size here. Once you have a field set up the way you want it to be: select it and right click. Select "Use Current Properties as Defaults". Not the properties you set up are the defaults. I don't know if this will actually change how the autogenerated fields are created, but it's worth a try.

Thanks for the response. I will submit a request to have the current default for each field type be the settings for the auto generate. The select-all and change properties was blocked for me because I had a signature field generated on the last page. Unless the fields are all identical types and properties, you will be very limited in what you can change globally.
