In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I can scroll to see all content in a text box, but when printed, not all content prints. How do I get everything to print?

The content filled into text boxes is visible by scrolling, but it doesn't all print. Am I missing a setting, or is this a feature not available in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro? Printing is essential for this form.

Set the field's font size to Auto.

Unfortunately, setting the font to auto is not a good solution, as it will reduce the font size to fit the text in the box, and we need the font to remain the standard size. Any other solutions, other than a larger text box, as we never know how much content will be necessary?

Does anyone know if the printing is still an issue with Adobe DC?

This is still an issue, if you consider it is one; this is working exactly as designed. It is a fundamental limitation of Acroforms that the boxes are fixed size, and are not resized to show more content either on display or printing. If this is important, I believe you can stop scrolling so that the form filler knows that they must make their content fit, just as on a paper form.
