Dynamic font setting for adobe forms

[prajeshdesai]

Changing font at runtime for all controls (fileds) in adobe form is quite painful, because till now there is no provision is given by adobe. I have done some RND on how to change fonts in our adobe forms dynamically. This will change font of whole pdf.

Requirement: Want to change font of whole pdf (all pages, master pages).

Solution:

First go through Loop through all controls (fields) in adobe forms blog for more information.

Below all listed controls (fileds) are effected,

• Button, Check Box, Date/Time Field, Drop-down List, Signature Field, Image Field, List Box, Numeric Field, Password Field, Radio Button, and Text Field.


• Circle, Line, Rectangle, Static Image, and Static Text.

 

Use below script on data node.

data::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)

var totalPages = xfa.layout.pageCount();

var i = 0;



for (i = 0; i < totalPages; i++) {

  setFont("field", 0);

  setFont("draw", 0);

  setFont("field", 1);

  setFont("draw", 1);

}





function setFont(type, page) {

  var oField = xfa.layout.pageContent(i, type, page);

  var n = oField.length;

  var j = 0;



  for (j = 0; j < n; j++) {

    oField.item(j).font.typeface = "Courier"; //any valid font name

  }

}

Hope this helps.
