How to Change Font in PDF: Step by Step
With PDF documents, you can use the PDFLiner editor to adjust a number of font parameters in text fields. You should be aware that there is no way to adjust the font of the form itself. However, you can manipulate whatever you enter in the text fields as well as any comments that you create. Let’s start with a simple example of how to change font size in a PDF form using PDFLiner.
Changing Font Size
Use the text toolbar right above the PDF page to select a font size when in a text field. Or if you are using an "Add Text" instrument a dedicated mini toolbar appears above an active text box, with "T" buttons, "T↑" and "T↓". The former makes the font in the field bigger, and the latter reduces it incrementally.
