Description jeffprice73 2022-01-20 02:41:36 UTC
Description:
I am trying to create a fillable pdf. I can create a Writer document. From form controls, I can add a text box (or boxes). In the text box control properties, I can specify font, size, alignment, etc. I want the font in the fillable pdf to match the font in the document.

When I export the document as a fillable pdf, the pdf is created and looks great. It is fillable. All font properties (for example, italics and size) are properly exported, but NOT the font itself. So it fills in Arial or something similar. (I don't want to use Arial.)

I am pretty sure this has worked before, as I have access to a form I created that does work, but I don't have access to the Writer document that I used to create that form.
