Question

Print fields with multiple lines

We set the field for multiple lines in a pdf form. When entering info, a scroll bar appears so they can enter multiple lines. However, the mutiple lines don't print. If we increase the field height, the scroll displays when info is typed beyond the height and we cannot turn off the scroll.

Also, the field is in the middle of a form and the rest of the form needs to adjust to accommodate the number of lines entered in the expandable field. How??

    I'm assuming you are authoring this pdf in Acrobat. If so, double-click the text box field to open it's properties. In the OPTIONS tab, select the "Multi-line" check box, but DESELECT the "Scroll Long Text" check box. This will prevent folks from entering more text than the box will allow (has space for). Therefore, nothing will be hidden when the page is printed. If you DO want folks to be able to put as much as they want in that box but are limited in space on the page, printing will not be an option as the printer will not realize text is hidden in that box. Hope this helps!
