Form Field Size with Acrobat9 using Auto Wizard

Using Auto Wizard, the form field size for text fields is too small. I know how to change the font size and the form field size, but how do I make that default for the forms ALREADY created by auto wizard? Is there a way to change one field to the size and font size you want--then make the remaining fields already created by the form wizard to match that size?

The only way to change the field size and font size of multiple fields allready created is a two step process.

Resize fields:
To change the height of all selected fields to be the same you would set the height of one field then select all of the fields you want to match that height. Right click on the model field you want all the field to match and choose "Set Fields to Same Size" then choose "Height". When you hover the cursor over the model field you will see it highlight. You can see there are alignment, distribution, and centering options available as well when you right click on a field.

Change text size:
a. Select all of the fields you want to change the text size to and open the field properties and change it there.
b. You can also do it with JavaScript in the JS Console.

I don't know if there is a way to set the default size of field that are created using the wizard but I don't think there is.

You can set the defaults for the various types of fields by selecting a field with the settings you use most often and right clicking it and choose "Use Current Properties as New Defaults". So I have text fields set a certain way and checkbox a certain way etc. the way I like them to appear.
