Text in a fillable form is impossible

Question

Sometimes label text in my fillable form moves around and gets separated into different labels whenI move it. Sometimes the text overlaps from within the same text box. Sometimes the justification messes up the spacing of a line, and when I check the formatting it is correct, and I cannot un-justify the paragraph (I have to retype the whole text from scratch to fix it.) Sometimes adding a space causes the line to justify. I am so frustrated with this software.

I guess my question is, what is the best way to put my static text into a fillable form so that I can easily format and edit it? And easily adjust the spacing so that it appears next to my fields.

Yes there is, Bernd provided one solution, rich text text fields. But you can also use text annotations.

But the very best way, that works everytime and makes perfect forms, is to put the changes into the original document. Then convert it to PDF and use Replace Pages to import the new form design into the existing form.

Use read-only form text fields.
