Create (50) Character Limit Per Line on Multi-Line Field?

Hi Adobe friends,

In reference to Adobe Acrobat DC:

I have a free text field that allows for up to 6 lines, but I only want the field to allow users to enter a maximum of 50 characters on each line.

Is this possible through a custom script, and if so, how would I go about doing this?

Thank you for any and all assistance!

This would need some logic in the Validate (maybe Keystroke) event in the field, calculating line breaks.

A quick and dirty workaround would be using a fixed width font, and set the field width accordingly.

The workaround works! (Is that redundant?) Thank you!
