Repeating field through document and sizing it properly...

Question

I'm creating a PDF form where a consultant will type in one client company name throughout a form document within many pages with text paragraphs. Company name could be IBM or International Business Machines in terms of length. Is there a way to create a field that sizes to fit the text? NOT TYPE FONT RESIZING, but field resizing. (short of search and replace which we can't do because we need to lock the form text prior to distribution). If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! Thank you!

If you mean that you want to have a field within a paragraph of text and have the text before and after it reflow to accommodate the text in the field, the answer is that's not possible.

An alternative is to include all of the text in multiline fields, but you wouldn't be able to reflow such fields across pages. In this case, you could prompt the user for a company name and it could insert it where needed. The multiline fields could be read-only so they couldn't otherwise be edited.
