Why are the fonts in the fillable fields changing in reader?

Hello, I created a fillable pdf in acrobat. When I open the pdf in reader on my iPad the fonts in the fillable fields change. It is throwing off the fields and things don't line up correctly. I can't figure out how to correct the problem or why it's happening in the first place. Also, the fields behave differently in preview on my Mac. The fonts are correct but the placement is off. Any help would be awesome! Thanks.

Solved it! I went back into acrobat and locked the appearance of all my text fields. Everything now appears as it should in reader.    Still have no idea why I needed to do that?

    You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
    // Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
    // Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
        var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
        if (f.type === "text") {
            f.textFont = font.Helv;
            f.textSize = 9;
    It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • How do I change the fonts on the main page.My fonts have recently changed without my doing anything. They are like 6 point instead of the 12 I am used to. Email font is now huge. Is this an ATT/Yahoo problem or Firefox. Safari fonts seem to be o.k.

    How do I change the fonts on the home page? They recently shrank from 12 to very tiny..(6 pt?). I did nothing to change them, but after the event tried to change them using "preferences-Fonts"which had no effect. ATT seems to have made a change in their email. The fonts in the email are now huge (18 pt?). This could be an ATT/Yahoo problem with Mac, although Safari seems to be working o. k.

    Jim, extensions are also add-ons. Add-ons include extensions, themes and plugins.
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you need to make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

    Hi el_giclee,
    Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
    I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
    Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
    It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

    Yep - I was only looking at Text Size.
    But still, not sure what the deal is. The "1" is just as readable as any other number on the keyboard regardless.

  • HT5361 why is the font in the senders message so small

    how do you change the size of the font on the sender's message

    Mail menu -> Preferences lets you control how messages are viewed.
    You can also View menu -> Customize toolbar on the window you can't read to add icons with the Aa lettering.  This adjusts the font size on your view.
    Note: font size in e-mail does not always transfer when you send messages from one e-mail software to another.

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • Opening a legacy file in CC2014, the fonts in the file (which are loaded and accessible with Suitcase Fusion 6), won't display. I get the [Jensen text] font name indicating a missing font file. YET, when I make a new file, the fonts are available. Any ide

    Okay, that was a long title. Sorry about that.
    Longer version now. The font Janson Text is an old Type 1 Postscript font. If I make a new document in InDesign CC2014, this font is completely available to me. HOWEVER, if I open a legacy file that uses this same font, it shows up with the usual pink highlighting.
    I know the font is available to InDesign, because I made a new test document and set type with it.
    If I try using the Type > Find Font.. option to replace the 'missing' typefaces, InDesign won't let me, not recognizing the font that I just used in the new test document.
    I just tried exporting the defective file as an IDML file, then opening the IDML file. The font is now working properly.
    This is a real problem, as the file I'm trying to open is a book that we need to reprint. I now have to go through it page by page to see if any linebreaks have changed.
    WHAT CAUSES THIS, please?

    There is one way its getting fixed. Once I update my Adobe Illustrator CC to Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 it is further allowing me to go into the system folder and allocate the font to the file so that it can replace it. My only concern now is that our MAC partners who will receive these files back from us have Adobe CS6. We will down save it to CS6 but I hope they won't experience any font issues because of us using CC 2014? Any light you can shed on this?
