I am using Acrobat Prof 6.02 for this project,
Can I add font style in my Javascript?
I have a JC that pulls different fields to make a letter. The text field is set to Times New Roman, is there a script to change a variable in the middle of my script to Times New Roman Bold and the go back to Times New Roman?
Example:
(times New Roman) Dear sue,
Re: account number (times new roman bold) 1234 (times new roman),
Thanks in advance!

I think what you are looking for is Rich Text. This is a slightly complex topic. In Acrobat JavaScript a Rich Text string is divided into a set of "Spans". Each span has different characteristics like Font, Color, Size, etc. Rich text can be applied to both form fields and markup annotations. Look up the "Spans" object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference
var f = this.getField("textField");
f.textfont = "Times-Roman";
What's important is knowing the precise name for the font you want displayed.
