How do I create a non restricting textbox that automatically expands as you type? When I use the Multi-line it just gives me the scroll bars or the "+" sign. I have to type a java script code every time I print so all content is displayed or the content gets cut off. Hoping to get guidance on how to create a paragraph text box to expand as you type in it .

You won't be able to do that with an Acro Form (created with Adobe Acrobat). You would have to make the field large enought to fit a maximum amount of text, set the font size auto (shrink to fit) and "do not scroll". XFA forms created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer have the functionality your are looking for.
