Is it possible to have fonts larger than 72pt?

Have been looking for a work around for this problem for awhile now but can't seem to get anywhere. Is it possible to have fonts bigger than 72pt? If not that is a massive fail.

I see what you mean now, it seems to be an issue with artwork PDF forms, I don't have a problem with a standard PDF form.

I did get the font size to stick, https://acrobat.com/#d=RnEQbNdhe26z-bPYyVnEYQ is my sample.

But I had to edit the XML Source (from the View menu), so the line;

<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p>99</p></body>

 

became

<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p style="font-size:300pt">99</p></body>

That is I added the font-size style attribute.

Hope that helps.

You have me there, and the website I used to refer to for this sort of stuff seems to be no more.  There are some limitations in how Acrobat handles images with transparent color but I'm not sure exactly what it is now, something to do with only using 8 bit color (I think PNG is usually 24bit), or maybe it was something about only using palette color.

Sorry, I think you will have to start another thread.

Thanks mate that's awesome, it's a pain it doesn't work just by typing it into the font size box but that work around will do! I might need to open another topic for this but the next problem I'm having is when inserting a .PNG image it is putting a white background around it don't suppose you know how to fix that one as well? I'm pretty sure it never used to do that as well.

Thanks for your help!

Seems I don't have access, if you click on the file you will get a share document option.

I'm using Designer ES 9.0.0.2

I use Acrobat.com, but there are a number Google Docs, if you use Acrobat.bat make sure you publish the document and that will give you a URL that you can paste here.
