I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro.  My issue is with the printing of multi-line text fields.  I only see the text on the screen and none of the hidden text when I print the form.  Can you assist?

That's not possible in an Acrobat form. You can either resize the box, change the font size or copy the text to a larger box using a script.

Any text that falls outside of your text box will not be printed. Can you make the box bigger or set the text to Auto size under the

appearance tab on the text field properties?

I do have the auto font size selected.  I assume then my only option is to make the box bigger?  This is for a performance review and managers will be given latitude to provide as much feedback as needed.  Hence that is why I was hoping for something that would expand as needed.
