Font Format in Multi-Line Variables

Font style, case, color, and size can be controlled by applying effects to both the starting variable code and the ending variable code in Multi-Line variables.

When creating the Multi-Line variable in an overlay or cover page template in Word, apply the desired font style, case, color, and size to the starting and ending variable code of the variable. The starting and ending variable codes must be the same font style, case, color, and size.

If you apply bold, blue, 24pt font style to the variable code, the resulting output from the template will include that specified font formatting. The case of the variable code does not determine the case of the resulting output.
Note: Within an overlay or cover page, all variable codes should be the same case, regardless of variable stamp type.

Japanese Characters

The font of the delimiters and variable code also determines which characters can be stamped. Most fonts do not contain all Unicode characters. If you intend to include Japanese characters in variable resolutions for example, you must make sure the font used for the delimiters and variable codes is MSMincho or another font containing Japanese characters. Arial Unicode MS is one of the few fonts containing almost all Unicode characters.

Font Formatting That Is Not Supported

Underlined text and highlighted text are not supported. Adobe Acrobat does not recognize these styles as part of the font.

If underlining or highlighting happens to be applied to a variable in a template: During rendering and publishing, the space used by the starting and ending variable tags will remain highlighted or underlined, but the resulting output in the remaining space will not display underlining or highlighting.
