Mismatched font size in forms

When I set the font size in a form field, instead of allowing the field to use auto-sizing, the form places the auto-sized font over the size font I've selected for the field, making it illegible. How do I turn off this function or correct it? I did not find a solution in Text Field Properties.

About all you can do is set the screen settings down, which results in everything on your screen being larger. Try 800 x 600.

Change font size in Forms Builder?

I wonder if it's possible to make the Forms Builder font size larger, say size 14? The purpose is to make a Forms presentation easier to follow with a big audience.

I've tried applying classes to the text fields but this has no effect on the form data.
Thanks in advance for advice,

Your Form to email processing script sends data to your email address, right? If you're having trouble reading your email,change your display font sizes.
Win XP:
Control Panel -> Appearance and Themes -> Display -> Appearance -> Font Size.
Win Vista:
Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Adjust Font Size.
Win 7:

Help to adjust font size on FORM

Hi ,
I am using APEX to do a online survey, some respondents said the survey form font size (default) is too small to read it clearly and don't know how to make the size look bigger.
Then I realized they are right, the font size of APEX form is predefined in template. I am wondering how to make the font size adjustable like normal htm page. if it is not possible, then how could I put font-size in somewhere to make it bigger?
Thanks in advance,

If you use Firefox with firebug you can exactly see where your fontsize has been set. You can override the standard CSS by either uploading and referencing your own CSS file or just add one inline CSS entry in your template.

Font size and user form

Hello,
I'd like to know if somebody find a solution for the font size issue on user form.
since BO 2005, the user can change the font size. the application will format all the controls of form with the good size.
However, the layout does not follow very well for user form.
If the font size is changed while a user form is open, the aplication will reformat it perfectly, the controls are bigger, and the distance between the controls are ok
But when the user form is open again, it keeps the distance and control size of the XML file but change the font size, so the layout is very bad, sometime the static text or the caption could not be read, so it's not possible to use the form as is.
I use XML to create form, I haven't try by code, but in my case, I can't use code because there are a lot of controls in the form.
Any idea if it's possible to call the Business One procedure to resize the form and its control (not only the font) ?
Thanks you

Try resetting the FontSize of all items (and columns) to the one you used for the design after loading the form.
I use a simple loop over all items and an inner loop for matrixes and grids to set the font size in their columns.
Now users can have a larger font, but the added forms will use the original design's font size.
This approach has some drawbacks:
- Added forms use a different font size
- Some of the controls will still get their size based on the system default font size
(checkboxes, drill-down arrays, headercolumns, perhaps more?).
- Focused item is not resized by this (so far I have been able to work around this).
- Changing the font size while the form is open, will break the design as the
font size does not change, but the control sizes do.
This is not an ideal solution, but it might give some help, until a better one presents itself.
If the users don't use a dramatically different font size, my form design work quite ok,
even with the drawbacks or at least it is better than nothing. It is a good idea to test
the form with different font sizes to make it more flexible.

Forms 10g : How to increasethe font size ?

Hi All ,
I want increase the font size in general for all the forms in my application.
Could anyone please let me know which file needs to be configured to increase
the font size in forms 10g ? Also what entries do I need to modify in it.
Thanks,

You might check the Forms Services Deployment Guide and the Oracle Forms Online Help.
If all of your forms use the default font, then the first link may work for you. If not, then you may have to go into each form. You might also search the online help for how to use SmartClasses.

Varying font size based on information entered in a field

Please let me know if there is a way to adjust the font on a fillable field so that whatever is keyed in the field will fit. We can do this in Word with autofit and were hoping that there was a way to do this in Acrobat. We are using Acrobat Pro 7, but some of us have version 8.
Thanks for the help!!

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Auto font size in form text field doesn't work
when rich text formatting is enabled
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.create a small form text field
2. set the font size to auto under properties->appearance tab
3.enable "allow rich text formatting" under options tab
4. enter text into the form
Results: the text is not scaled properly. rich formatted text has a different size than standard text.
Expected results: The text should auto size if that is what the setting says it is going to do (rich formatting or not).

It is working for me, so perhaps a restart to see if that helps?
But like many, I am sticking with the old Pages for now.

How can I set the font size of a form field in the fdf file?

I need to dynamically set the font size of a field to accommodate text of varying length, automatic font size won't work in this case. It seems like this can be done in the FDF but I have tried several variants without success. Could someone help out with a real example of what the syntax in the fdf should look like.
I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1 but the created fdf will need to work with Reader also.

I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

When creating a fillable form fields from an existing pdf file, how do you set or allow end user to set the font size in the fields?

I successfully created a form filled pdf using an existing pdf document. However, the font size is too large to allow end user to type in information in the form box. Is there a way to 1)globally set all of the form fields when generated to a much smaller font size &/or 2) allow end user to change the font size if needed to put all information in one box without font being so large?

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

Ajlan Huda.

For Adobe Acrobat X Pro how do you change font size Acrobat in form editing mode?

For Adobe Acrobat X Pro how do you change the font size when Acrobat is in Form Editing Mode? The fonts are different sizes in the highlighted fields. I want the font the same size throughout my document...

is driving me crazy because I cannot figure it out… But I will try the steps you
gave me to change the font size. Attached via e-mail is a screanshot of the

Change font size in drop-down form item

When I'm in design mode, I assigned the drop-down item a
style class of 9pt
font and it looks fine in design mode. When I go to view in
IE, the font
looks like a standard 10pt font and doesn't change when I
change the class.
So, all of my titles are in 9pt but the form text boxes and
drop-down boxes
are all using 10pt font.
How do you change the font used in form fields?
Thanks!

One should not use a print metric on the web. Please use
pixels, ems, ens,
exs, percents, or font size names, but definitely not points.

Change font size of contact form.

Hi,
I have been searching through google and various forums to make a contact form, and I finally have it working. (YAY!) HOWEVER...
There's one problem: I don't know how to change the font size. Help?!
Here's my action script code:
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
function sendMessage(e:MouseEvent):void{
var my_vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
my_vars.senderName = name_txt.text;
my_vars.senderEmail = email_txt.text;
my_vars.senderMsg = message_txt.text;
var my_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mydomain.com/mail.php");
my_url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
my_url.data = my_vars;
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
my_loader.load(my_url);
name_txt.text = "";
email_txt.text = "";
message_txt.text = "Message Sent";
Do I need to add something to my action script to modify the text size? If so, what? Or do I modify the text size through other means? I've been looking at tutorials online, forums, and I just couldn't find something that helped me.
Thank you!

Ahh. Thanks for being patient with a newbie.
So I've got the code in and compiler errors came up:
Scene 1, Layer 'content', Frame 70, Line 3
1119: Access of possibly undefined property defaultTextFormat through a reference with static type fl.controls:TextInput.
Scene 1, Layer 'content', Frame 70, Line 4
1119: Access of possibly undefined property defaultTextFormat through a reference with static type fl.controls:TextInput.
Scene 1, Layer 'content', Frame 70, Line 5
1119: Access of possibly undefined property defaultTextFormat through a reference with static type fl.controls:TextArea.
Below is what I have in action script, did I need to place the code you gave me somewhere else?:
var tfor:TextFormat=new TextFormat();
tfor.size=12;
name_txt.defaultTextFormat=tfor;
email_txt.defaultTextFormat=tfor;
message_txt.defaultTextFormat=tfor;
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
function sendMessage(e:MouseEvent):void{
var my_vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
my_vars.senderName = name_txt.text;
my_vars.senderEmail = email_txt.text;
my_vars.senderMsg = message_txt.text;
var my_url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://mydomain.com/mail.php");
my_url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
my_url.data = my_vars;
var my_loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
my_loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
my_loader.load(my_url);
name_txt.text = "";
email_txt.text = "";
message_txt.text = "Message Sent";
