I am trying to fill out an application form that has already been created by a university. The form's instructions indicate that applicants must fill in the fields using Times New Roman 12 point font with 1.5 spacing. However, nowhere in Adobe Reader do I see any option for changing the parameters of the text that I can type into the fields. Is this even possible?

Here is the link to the document in question, if that helps:

Thanks!

The form is created so that it will use Helvetica font with automatic size, which means it will grow or shrink to fit the field. So that is what will be in the field. I suspect that the form was formerly not an Acrobat form and that the instructions were not changed when the form was created in Acrobat.
