Hello

New to Adobe DC and trying out it for 30 days.  I am creating an employment application for my organization and am wanting to create a text field for applicants to type in information but want the font to shrink as they type so more information can be added.  I have searched this topic on here and have found a lot of dead links.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Steven Rettke,

In order to add more information You can simply double-click to open text field properties dialog box and uncheck 'Limit of characters' label.

You can also checkmark 'Multi-line' label so that text is entered in the next line as well without any need to shrink the font.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Anubha

Thank you for the reply.  One additional question if I may, how do I go about inserting the text field into a pdf?  Again sorry for the elementary question, but I am brand new to Adobe DC.  Thanks again.
