changing font type
Hi everyone,
I have this acroform with let's say 100 fields. I want to change the font type of only one of these fields and leave the rest alone. I know the field name. Is there some reliable example code you know of that might performed this task?
I have tried different examples I found online with no success. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Lorena

Which font do you want to use for that one field? Are you after a specific font or just a font size or style (e.g. sans serif?)?

It's a bit tricky... One way of doing it would be to get the COSDictionary
property of the PDField object and then edit the Default Appearance string
directly. You would need to know the internal name for the font you want to
use, though.
