When I added javascript to my pdf form to remove default text in text boxes, it removes the scroll bars also for multi-line text boxes. Any idea how I can add those back in so that the user realizes right away that they can add more text than just one line?

A blank field will not display scroll bars.

You will see the scrollbars when you add text.

I would like them to appear though as soon as they start typing and they are not. It's not until you get to the second line that they appear. And I am not seeing the plus sign anymore initially to let people know that they can add many lines of text.

That's not what the plus sign means. It means there's more text than can be displayed in the field.

If you want the scroll-bars to show then set the field's default value to two empty lines.
