Creating Bullets in Text Fields

My office has Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.  I have created a 3-page form that contains several text fields.  Some of these fields require entries in bullet format.

Other than cutting and pasting from MS Word, is there a way to:

  1. Have text field default to bullet format
  2. Create bullets in a text field

I am finding a lot of forums on how to create bullets, but none of them are in a text field.

Thank you!

Within PDF form field types there is no bullet point option.

You can use the <Alt> + <Numeric Keypad Keys>0149 to add a bullet point. Or you can cut and paste from the CharMap utility.

That's what I feared.  Thank you, though.

One could also use a custom format script to add the bullet point and space in front of none null fields.

// custom format script to display bullet point in front of none empty field entry;

if(event.value != "") {

event.value = "\u2022 " + event.value;

}


Is there a way to make sure that the bulleted lists appear in a mult-line field? When I tried to preview it, the field would allow me to enter items on multiple lines, but when I tabbed to the next field, the bullet only showed up next to the first line.

After tabbing to next field:
