I created a PDF editable using Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Pro ms, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is it possible in InDesign to make sure that when someone types in this text field is a certain font?
I need to make sure that the entered text is a certain font to keep continuity with the rest of the document. Thank you!
To make form editing mode, select 'Prepare form' in the right pane. You will then get a toolbar at the top which contains various tools that focus on the form. The first thing to do is to add a temporary button. You will use this to determine the name of the font to use with the script but also to place the script that will change the properties of the font of text fields. Thus, create a button anywhere and double-click on it to bring up the field properties dialog in the Actions tab, add a JavaScript action to the mouse event to the top which is:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button app.alert(event.target.textFont);
On the appearance tab, select the font you want to use for the text fields. Once you have done this, close the form editing mode and click the button. It displays a popup that lists the name of the font. This may be different from the name that appears in the drop-down list on the appearance tab, so write down it. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" in the menu dropdown, popup showed "MinionPro-Regular.
The next step is to replace this script of mouse upwards by the following text:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button // Change the font and font size for all text field in this document for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) { var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i)); if (f.type === "text") { f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular"; f.textSize = 9; } }
Replace "MinionPro-Regular" by the name of the font that you wrote before, and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of 'Auto '.
This script will change the font of all the text fields to whatever you specify. When you have verified that text fields are implemented as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll do a lot of forms of work, you can create customized in Acrobat tools to speed up this process, but this should help you get started. InDesign does not allow you to specify a large number of field and action properties, so you must work this way, and using scripts to automate is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.

I can read and modify a pdf to Adobe InDesign using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
I can read and modify a pdf to Adobe InDesign using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?
A PDF with InDesign is just one PDF file like any other. If Acrobat can open it. Almost no circumstance you would change it in Acrobat.
Here's why. Editing PDF files is a last desperate resort. Sometimes easy/practice, often disappointing, frustrating, if not impossible. You modify a PDF file when life depends on it, the original has been lost, and all backups have been eaten by termites. If you do not edit an InDesign PDF in Acrobat. Nor of course in InDesign. What you do is change the original InDesign file and make a new PDF. Even to fix typo.
(Other types of special Assembly that you just can't do in InDesign are a different story).

How can I add white space between areas that contain text fields?
I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 2015.
I'm trying to change an existing PDF. I need to add white space between areas that contain text fields to allow these areas to be developed and do not overlap the text and the text below fields.
For example:
- 1.
Progress/strategies:
- 2.
Progress/strategies:
- 3.
Progress/strategies:
- 4.
Progress/strategies:
The space between each 'progress/strategies' increasing needs. A text field is under each of them. If it's a Word doc, I could just press on enter. What is the best way to do this with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC?
There is no easy way to do it. You need to move the text fields more apart and if there are static elements, then you will need to use the tool edit text & Images to move them, separately.

using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC can move a 3D view of one page to another?
Hello
The link provided will give access to a PDF file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/33rv39xer3q269d/combine.PDF?DL=0
In the PDF file, you will find two pages.
Page 1 resembles a drawing, page two has a 3D view.
I want to spend the 3D view of page 2 to page 1... to display the 3D view ' above' or with the drawing on the same page... want to have the 3D view in the upper right corner of the drawing.
So... it's not just it's resizing as well.
I can't change the view using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC 3D... probably because of my immense lack of Acrobat edition of knowledge.
When I select the 3D view and click Properties (in the menu) I see no change the handles around the 3D view.
I tried to drag these... but nothing happens...:)
Help, please.
Thank you
Acrobat extreme noob... aka Kevin.
AHA!
I managed to move... selects... then edit cut... then click on the desired page and... Change the dough :))
Developers - Thank You for making the easy editor :)
But...
I can not yet use the handles to change the size - still seem to be locked.
The 3D view is represented by a small? symbol...
More... I found an interesting option in the properties to the point of view, a view floating... I like this... :))
