    Hi,

    I see what you mean, I believe there is a default font style that is used when forms are being converted to fillable PDF, at least that would be my analysis.

    It would also depend on what PDF browser you are viewing the form.

    Google Chrome:

    Adobe Reader XI

    I'll escalate this to our developers so that they can give us a more accurate answer, they are continuously working on this feature and probably we can expect a couple of updates or changes, your feedback is much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    Upon checking the status of the ticket, it is already assigned to one of our developers and marked as "Very Important". Although, this is more of a feature request and the functionality of the fillable PDF creator is still currently being improved. 

    Unfortunately, we are unable to give an exact date to when this can be expected, depending on the workload and list of pending tasks that our developers have. But rest assure that they are already aware of this, and are currently being notified through this ticket. If we hear any news on the progress of it we'll let you know here.

    Kind regards.

    Bumping because I too am having this issue - the form looks wonderful in a browser, but absolutely horrid in Acrobat and Reader due to the drastic change in fonts. Are there any updates on this matter? Thanks.
