I am trying to create an adobe letter with form fields in different places of a sentence. Sometimes the data going to the field will only be 1 or 2 characters while other times the data going to the field will be 8 or 10 characters. I want the field to auto size in width without changing the font to auto. The sentence needs to be uniform in font and spacing so that the sentence looks like it is written correctly. How can I create an auto sizing form field?

Below is an example of one of the sentences. I have inserted spaces where I would have form fields.

Only LiveCycle supports dynamic fields and PDF forms natively. As noted to do this in Acrobat you have to all scripting.

Unless the entire text is done using fields it's not possible.
