Does anyone know how to darken the barely legible
characters that appear when filling out a form?
It's a very pale grey. How to darken it?

So much trivia that blots out the important things!

TIA

This is a potentially useful but irritating program :-(
How do you set the default font? Could be the solution to the OP question -
default seems to be Courier, and is very pale.
Basically, you need to get the Manual -
www.docu-track.com/pdf/Manual.pdf
Go to page 192, follow the (excessively long-winded) method for setting the
default font.
You need to type ctrl-e to turn on the options toolbar, but there's more
....

Type ctrl-E to turn on the options toolbar.
Download the manual.
Go to page 192, follow the instructions - "How to set a new default font "
etc.
The manual appears to be damaged - I had to use a screen grabber to extract
the page and print it.
PDFXViewer is very useful but also very irritating - setting default
settings is long-winded and unintuitive.

If you're talking about the Typewriter tool...
Click on the Typewriter Tool.
Click on the document (to open a typewriter field).
The font toolbar should open.
Set the font you want (font, size, bold, colour etc).
Right-click on the typewriter field.
In the drop-down menu, click on 'Set Current Appearance as Default'.
And that's it.
