Fields hidden but not excluded from layout

Hi, I am trying to display some hidden fields in an interactive PDF using Acrobat Pro DC. These subfields are displayed based on the user's choice in a drop-down box. I am having issues with the layout since the subforms are hidden but not excluded from the page, so that creates a blank gap before the next subform everytime the user chooses to hide each subform. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Assuming this is an Acrobat form and not a LiveCycle Designer form, you can't, really. Acrobat forms are not dynamic enough to allow that, unless your entire contents are either form fields (in which case you can move them up or down, using a script), or whole pages (in which case you can delete or spawn them from a Template, again using a script).
