I’m very new to PDF Clerk Pro. I’m using it to make a couple of PDF forms that I use fillable.  I looked in the manual and it just says that I can set the font and font size but doesn’t seem to say how to do this.

How do I set the font and font size for the individual Form Fields?

Thanks,

Make sure the inspector panel is visible. Turn to dynamic annotation mode. With a form field selected, click the “Font” button that is visible near the bottom of the “Dynamic Annotations Inspector”, then choose font and font size in the Font Panel.

Thanks Tonio.  A followup question.  Can I also use this method of setting the font and font size to change a PDF form that is already fillable?

Thanks

I uploaded a screencast (no sound/comments) that shows the creation of a form, including changing font size of a form field:

Look under the miscellaneous heading, second entry.

Yes, form fields are editable whether they are created in PDFClerk, or already existed in the original document.

Thanks again Tonio this is outstanding.  Very easy video to follow even for a dummy like me.

When I set up fillable fields is there a way to globally set the font and font size I want to use in each field or do I need to set each field individually?

Thanks

Hi,

Currently you’ll have to set each field individually.
