The font selection, size, and color in PDF form fields is generally limited to a single choice for each field. As a form designer, if you want certain words to stand out, you can choose bold or italic fonts and different sizes and colors. This is fine for different form fields that aren’t meant to flow together as a sentence or paragraph. But what if you have a multiline form field that pulls values from other fields in its calculated value for a summary, letter, or paragraph? And what if you want different formatting for different words or characters within that text? The first step is to select Allow Rich Text Formatting in the Options tab of the field properties.
