Adobe Acrobat Pro - Labels for Text Fields

[caitlin_5388]

Suggestion:

Give text fields optional labels.

1.) Only small, medium, or large font size.

2.) Placement of left, right, above or below text field.

3.) Character limit of 25.

Keep it simle if necessary, but simpler label options for text fields are wanted.

You can use a script to generate (read-only) text fields next to each editable field, but there's no built-in feature in the PDF spec for labels that accompany fields.

Yes, I did use read only text fields and that is a decent work around. However, when viewing the page in "Prepare Form" mode it is very messy and difficult to view. I just think adding text fields labels as an option is a very easy fix to a lot of those formatting issues.
