How do I create a multi-line text box?

Question

I have a PDF that was tradionally printed and filled out by hand, and am trying to convert to an e-version.

Everything is working great but I can't figure out how to make this one thing work. For example I have a section like this:

More Info: _______________

_________________________

How can I make it so when one starts typing in the "More Info" section, their response continues from the 1st line to the 2nd, to the 3rd, etc.?

How do you make it so that with these multi-line text fields scroll when the amount of writing in them gets too large, as opposed to just shrinking the text?

Thanks!

Set the font size to anything but Auto.

You can set a text field to be multi-line and tick off the option to scroll

long text to have it automatically wrap, but you'll have a problem with the

first partial line, since form fields can only be rectangular. Another

problem might be the lines themselves, since you'll have to use a font size

that will fit them exactly, or it will look odd. I would suggest getting

rid of those lines altogether. They are not needed when filling in the form

electronically. It's a relic from printed out forms where people had to

hand-write their answers.
