Is there a place to set default properties for form control objects such as the textbox (even if it’s by editing a file somewhere)?
I occasionally create fill-able PDF forms for work and I always start by creating one textbox, tweak the properties to get it the way I need it, then copy and paste it around my document so I don’t have to tweak every textbox.
It would be nice if I could set defaults for controls, especially the textbox. By default the textbox control is set to a font of “Arial, Regular, 12”, Background color of “Default”, and Border is “3D look”.
I’d prefer if I could set the defaults, and I’d like them to be more like most PDF forms I see, and be presented that way during design just like the way you’d see them in a PDF form.
Defaults like:
- Font: Inherit current font face, weight and size
(this isn’t a current option, but it would be nice if this could be one)
-
Background color: Light Gray
-
Border: Without Frame
-
Height: Snap to fit font (Single-line only)
(Again, not a current option but would be nice if the vertical height didn’t have to be tweaked at all when the Text type is “Single-line”)
If it isn’t possible to set properties defaults, I’ll find out where to submit an enhancement request for a feature like this.
