Hi, I am trying to figure out how to make a simple editable PDF but think I may be overcomplicating it?

I really don't need to create a "form" per se, I am trying to create a card or stationery item in PDF format, so people can enter their own information in, then print out.

I have been using the form wizard (AA 9.0), which is dazzling, but the problem is, I can't seem to use it to set font properties (size, font type) etc., and have no idea how I would specify or even embed a font for the end user.

I am not even sure the font wizard is the correct tool for this. Can someone give me a hint?
 

Just a suggestion, when dealing with forms for work I place text fields on the document where I need them.

This allows the user to input data without having to create a form.

The other thing you can do is create the form in word and then convert to PDF.

Hope this might help!~
 
I used Infix to edit a pdf document from work for a last minute printing and it worked wonderfully!
