    Hello,

    Is it possible to format the font style (color, size, type) in the output of the form value?

    Hi, thank you for reaching out to us.

    If I understood your question correctly, you mean changing the form font formatting when the user fills out the fields?
    Please see example screenshot below.

    No. I'm not concerned about the fonts or style on the web form. I want the form data to match the font style that is used within the PDF.

    I also was trying to add the random value generator but it wouldn't add to the form builder.

    Hi, thank you for your response.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the font formatting of the fields'value since the PDF form is imported. You can only change the font format if you are using our PDF editor.

    To avoid confusion, we have moved your other question to a separate thread. We will update and give answers to your other question there.

    Thanks for the response. This should be an enhancement. If field data is formatted completely different from the PDF then it will look very weird.

    I have forwarded a feature request to our developers to allow the same font/change the font used in the Fillable PDF to be used when passing the data.

    Please note that we cannot give an ETA when this feature would be added or will it be passed however, we will keep you posted via this ticket once updates are available.
