how do I show overflow text in pdf form?

Question

I have a pdf form that is filled in with text that overflows text box by a considerable amount (several pages of text).  Is there some way to allow the overflow text to overflow to blank page(s)?  We need to be able to view and/or print all the text in the form.

This would require adding additional pages, probably using a hidden template, and then splitting the entered text into a block of characters that would fill the new page, and then repeat this until all the text has been displayed. You do need to know how to spawn templates and split text into substrings.

If you used LiveCycle you could make dynamic fields and dynamic PDFs which might be able to perform this for several pages.
