Is it possible to have fonts larger than 72pt?

Have been looking for a work around for this problem for awhile now but can't seem to get anywhere. Is it possible to have fonts bigger than 72pt? If not that is a massive fail.

I see what you mean now, it seems to be an issue with artwork PDF forms, I don't have a problem with a standard PDF form.

I did get the font size to stick, https://acrobat.com/#d=RnEQbNdhe26z-bPYyVnEYQ is my sample.

But I had to edit the XML Source (from the View menu), so the line;

<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p>99</p></body>

 

became

<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p style="font-size:300pt">99</p></body>

That is I added the font-size style attribute.

Hope that helps.

Bruce

Hi,

Instead of using the drop down to select a pre-defined font size, you can just type in the size you want.  A 1000pt character will pretty much fill up a A4 page.

It's only an issue when you come to preview the PDF or save it. Setting the font to say something like 300 by typing it in is fine but when you save it, it reverts back to the minimum font.

I'm not sure I follow, are you refering to the zoom level in Reader? If so try putting "event.target.zoom = 300;" as JavaScript in the docReady event at the root of your form.  Or do you want the default font size in Designer to be 300, if so I'm not sure you can do that.  I don't have the font size reverting on my system.

Here's a couple fo screen shots, the active document I'm working on shows the correct size but then the preview shows what happens when you save it.

I use Acrobat.com, but there are a number Google Docs, if you use Acrobat.bat make sure you publish the document and that will give you a URL that you can paste here.

Seems I don't have access, if you click on the file you will get a share document option.

I'm using Designer ES 9.0.0.2
