Multi-Line formatting not holding when fillable form is linked

[chelsea_3018]

I have created fillable forms and formatted them with the multi-line features but as soon as I link the form to be filled in the text becomes a huge run-on line that can't be viewed. How do I fix this?

What do you mean "link the form to be filled in"?  Do you have Allow Rich text formatting selected in the field options tab?

Hey there,

Yes I do have allow rick text formatting on. I am linking this for in an assignment for students to fill out.

RTF is likely causing the issue.  Uncheck it.

Thank you!!!! I have been playing with that way longer than I care to admit!

Yes, I've seen this. I had a number of fillable forms posted on a website early in 2024. Many of them had multi-line fields where I set RTF on. All worked perfectly, until I noticed a few days ago (March 25) that the multi-line fields were no longer multi-line. All were restricted to a single line in the middle of the field.

After scratching my head for a while, I cam here and saw the comment about RTF, so I turned off RTF on all the forms, and Bingio, everything works again.

Did Adobe make a change and broke the multi-line setting?

Can I expect the forms to continue to wpork, or will they break something else, I wonder?

I don't have RTF checked and it is doing this.  I was able to get it work last night by changing the font specifically to Times Roman, but this morning, it doesn't work.

If you want help, when you say "it doesn't work" you have to be more specific.
