Question

Printing a Fillable PDF form with Scrolling Text Fields

I have always been able to use the following script: this.getField("FieldName").textSize = 0; in the more tools-Java Script-under the documents Will Print event.  I have been using this script since 2016 and now it won't work. 

 

When I print the entire text will not print, what prints is the text boxes with + signs.

 

Adobe Acrobat (24.003.20180) version is what I am using.

 

Is there a new script?  

 

Thank you !

That script sets the text size of the field to 0, which is Font Size: Auto  ("shrink to fit") in the appearance tab of the field properties.  Before printing, run the script in the console and see how the field looks.

Ugh! no it didn't work.  I don't know why it is not working.  With many updates and our company going to Microsoft 365, who knows....:(  Adobe is the same.  Hmmm...  Well, Im open to other suggestions.

Can you upload a form with that field in it, and your value filled in?
