---Hmmm. Well that's not good because it implies that each end-user will have 1. Full Acrobat
2. This gizmo.
What we are -really- looking for is some sort of way to have the end-user open a PDF and a button auto-magically appear next to a couple of fields and a drop down list appear which lets the user change the font whilst they are viewing/printing that particular PDF. No 'editing' per se is permissible and they will likely only have Reader.
Frankly, I had hoped that this was something that could be scripted into each 'template' PDF by -us- and then posted onto -their- server for free viewing/printing.
Ideas?
THANKS!

What it does is add several buttons on your Acrobat toolbar. One of them being a Text Editing button. This gives a feel similar to graphics layout program such as Adobe Pagemaker of Quark Xpress were after clicking on this button you highlight the intended text. This, then enables you to change the type characteristics such as type size, spacing and most importantly, fonts (typeface).

Thanks for this. The client 'simply' wants a 'font selector' button to appear next to various data entry fields which would allow them to alter the font in that text box for them to print a copy at their desk. They would not be allowed to -save- the changed font in the PDF. They sort of want the PDF to have a bit more flexibility, as though it were a word processing document.
Do you know if PitStop will do the above? (It is not clear from the blurb I read on their web site).
