Hi Dan,
You can use Acrobat JavaScript to change the properties of fields, but you
need Acrobat X Pro to do it. Can you send me the PDF so I can take a look at
it? Thanks.

No responses. Anyone know of a good Acrobat forum to query?

Modifying an existing PDF form in Acrobat X Standard. None of the (many)
text form fields are multi-line, and all of them have to be. Is there a way
to change them all in one action?
TIA,
Dan
