>I just want to make the font size modifiable in my OOo generated PDF >forms, but just don't know how to do this (when being filled with >Acrobat Reader for example). You should be able to do this, but it doesn't work due to a bug that has been in OOo for years and remains unfixed. Open a new, blank Writer document. From View > Toolbars select Form Design and Form Controls. Using the Controls toolbar place some controls on the document that would contain text, e.g., a list box, a text box, etc. Right click on the control and select Control. This will bring up a dialog box where you can specify the properties for the control, including the font. When finished, export your form to a PDF, making sure that you check the box "create PDF form." (The box is unchecked by default.) Now open your form in Adobe Reader. You will discover that your controls work, but the font will be Helvetica or some sans-serif face, rather than the font you specified in the control properties. This bug was reported and confirmed years ago, but no one has ever done anything about it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
