I need to convert an invoice/work order form for a client to a pdf that has fillable fields. I used the create form feature in Acrobat DC which worked amazingly well, just a few minor tweaks to some boxes. My question is, can I somehow universally change all the the fields font size to a different size without having to go through them one by one? (there are about 70+)

Universally? Not really. I did this once a LONG time ago & thought you could Shift-Select a bunch & change the Properties on them in the Forms Editor through Acrobat. That may have changed in recent versions however.

Indeed. Creating forms in Acrobat reminds you that the various Adobe product teams do not collaborate. :banghead:

Well I did find a solution and it is very easy. When you create a form in Acrobat DC, it lists all the fields in a side bar. You can select them all there and universally change the font and font size with ease there. I had never done forms before, but this is very very very easy when you have the form designed already. Acrobat DC did an amazing job at detecting everything, just a few minor tweaks.
