I am having problems trying to changing the font in typewriter tool when filling in pdf forms. The toolbar allows me to alter the font size but not the font typeface.
There is a box containing different fonts on the toolbar when creating a new form but this disappears when filling in an existing form.
Any solutions?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

Hi johnexpgn,

The typewriter tool in Acrobat 8 only has one font option (Courier), much like an old "real" typewriter. But, Adobe added the ability to choose fonts in the typewriter tool in Acrobat 9. You will need to upgrade if you want this feature.

Hope this helps,

Many thanks Dimitri!
I will have to think whether it is worth the upgrade!
