Expandable text boxes?

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Word form with a text box that people can cut and paste a document into and it will expand with all the text pasted into it. When I converted it into a pdf form with a textbox as a form field, I can create it with multi lines and long scrolling, but I don't see any options for making the field actually expand to show all the pasted text - is this possible?

Change the size of the textbox or set the font size to Auto.

thanks, but that doesn't make the text box form field expand like in a Word form to show all the text, you still have to scroll up and down inside the box. People need to be able to print the completed form so the box needs to expand to show all the text

They should probably be using a Word form, or HTML form. PDF forms are much more like a finished paper form, for better or worse.
