Preview on a Mac Filling our a form (Editable PDF).

In Preview on a mac, when filling out a form can you change the text size (or any other attributes of the text) in the fillable/editable portion? ** Please Note, I couldn't find "Preview" as a Topic so I chose Pages **

"fill out form" in preview, bug sur I have a lengthy PDF that needs a lot of things filled out and I'm having trouble with the ability to fill it out using preview. I am aware of creating a text box and then placing it over the blank area of the document, but I thought there was an easier way. I feel like i used to be able to just start typing on the PDF and it filled it out. I've seen a "show form filler" from other posts but i dont see where that option is when my tool bar/markup is up and going. any advice/help is appreciated.

Styling PDF files from the Pages app I create documents with Pages (the latest version). I then select Export > PDF, with no ability to style it (e.g., setting the font size and having the document open with its opening line at the top of the page). The PDF gets created. However, when it opens on my iMac and online, (a) the font size is very large, and (b) the document's opening line can't be seen because the document opens to a point between pages 1 and 2. This is especially bothersome when my PDF files are opened on my website. ( ; - ( How/where can I style the PDF accordingly before it gets created? Thanks, in advance, for your assistance going forward. Warren

Preview is part of the macOS, so your question belongs in Ventura. I will ask the moderators to move your question there.

The answer by muguy won't change, though. It is still "no."
