Acrobat X Global Form Field Settings

Question

Good day - Is there a way in Acrobat X to globally set font face and size for all fields in a form?
My objective:
> take template which had a form with 50 filelds
> globally set font face and size
It is a real pain in the neck having to do each one field by field.  I am an ASP developer and are usign ASPPDF to populate pdf docs vis ASP code.  If I use X and Y coords with my code I can define font properties with my code However I wish to use Acrobat field names therefore they inherit these setting from the Acrobat field settings.  Wow what a pain.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Please note - I am using Classic ASP, not dot net....

In that case, you can use JavaScript. If you use it in a batch sequence, you can change the field properties of a collection of documents very quickly. Here's an example:
// Script to set the font and size of text fields
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    // Get a reference to the current field
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    // If it's a text field, set the font and font size
    if (f.type == "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 7;
You can also run this in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J) to test it out. More information on the textFont property is in the documentation here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.727.html
