    Default Acrobat (Stnd.) Form field questions?

    h'lo all,
    a couple of Acrobat (Standard) Form field "?"'s, if I may...
    I've downloaded a US Govt. document that's pdf & fill-in-able. D/L'ed three copies of the same doc from different links. Here's why;
    (1) Problem is that on one of the pdf's, all of it's fields have a dark purple background color to each field and that color prints out! I've gone into Pref's and set my Forms/Fields/Bkg. Color to White, but it won't change the document. grrrr....
    (2) Even though I've d/l'ed what is supposed to the the same form (from 3 diff. links), it seems as though each is dictating a different font size for info that I try and fill in. That is, in the same box on all three, on one I might get 12 characters, on another 14 characters, on the third only 9 characters....all in the same field! I can't find any way to mess with the font size. grrr, again...
    many thanks in advance for all help
