Hi to all,
I just designd a formular and tried so put the size quite big (for our store-labeling). Until size 72 pt no problem at all - but everything bigger made the font-size in the original PDF shrink. How is it possible to use sizes bigger than 72?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I have just tried a test, taking the font size up to 200, and it worked fine for me, so the answer is somewhere in your display setup. It is possible that the on-screen rendering of the document is scaling the text to fit into the available window. Have you tried printing a page to see what it looks like on paper?

Thanx for your answer. I just tried it again. Taking the font size biggern than 200 worked - but just at the "text field". At the "text description field" for the form, it didn't work. When I wrote into the form, the font size turned into smallest size available again.

I created a new form and put in a single text field. I set the font sizes for both the caption and the text entry area to 100, and it works for me. I did have to manually re-size the box to display the text since it didn't automatically "grow" the size to suit the size of the text. Could that be the problem you are experiencing?

Don't think so. This doesn't seem to be the problem. Is there any possibility that I send you my form, or you send me yours?
