SetFormFieldFontSize(Int32,Single) Method
In This Topic
Sets the size, in points, of the font used to display text or the checkmark in a required form field, that is specified by its unique form field's identifier and it is related to the currently loaded PDF document. The usage of this attribute is not restricted to any form fields, even if the form field's appearance doesn't display text. In other words, you are allowed to set the size of the checkmark in a required form field using this method.
For further assistance, please refer to the PDF Reference, Section "Interactive Forms".

Parameters
- FieldId
- A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GetFormFieldId, GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.
- FontSize
- The new size of the defined font or the new size of the checkmark, in points, for displayed text or for the displayed checkmark in the form field.
A zero value means that the font or the checkmark is to be autosized within the form field's rectangle.
Return Value
A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK.
We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
