Fonts in PDF form

Post by Econdoc »

I don't quite know how to ask my question. I don't know enough about PDFs to know the correct terminology.
I have an editable PDF form that allows the user to export and import the form data. I would like to do a couple of things:
1. Change the font in use. (Document Properties shows several fonts found in the document. None of them are standard Windows fonts.)
2. Change the color of a font.

Can I introduce a different font? If so, how do I switch from one font to another? Can I change font properties?

I hope this is clear. I can upload the file in question if it helps.
Thanks.

Hi Econdoc,

Thanks for the post - this would require direct content editing which is something that the Viewer isn't capable of doing. We are in the process of releasing the Editor, which does have this functionality already (though it's only a partial release at the moment). To download and try that, please see the following link:

Cheers, hope that helps!
If posting files to this forum, you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded.
Thank you.

Best regards
