Please Help - I can't type the bottom of a fillable form - it moves back the top!

[tatiana2019]

I have created a fillable pdf document.   It has a big fillable text box.  When a open the fillable form on a browser to start writing text, the top is fine – I can type and see what I am typing but when I try to type the bottom of the form, the form moves back to the top.  I can still type but I cant see what I am typing because the form moves automatically to the top of the page.form position. I can only see what I am typing on what is shown on that default view. 

Any suggestions please? 
Thank you

Hi Tatiana,

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are unable to see what you are typing in the bottom of the text box of the PDF form

Please try the following steps:

- Open the PDF form in Adobe Acrobat DC

- Go to Tools > Prepare Form

- Double click on the Text box of the PDF form to open 'Text field Properties'

- Go to Option tab and check 'Multiline' and 'Scroll Long Text' and click 'Close' and then close the PDF form and save the changes and reopen the PDF form and check.

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Regards

Amal

That did not work but I found out what the problem is and 2 potential solutions. 

Basically, my text fields are almost the size of the page, I can scroll up and down a pdf page in a browser, but I can't scroll down a text field in a browser and fill it in. I thought I was scrolling up and down the page, but I was in fact trying to scroll up and down the field text, because they about the same size I did not differentiate them. 

Solution 1: create two text fields so they are in full view when filling it in and no need to scroll up or down.
Solution 2: Zoom out the page when in browser so I can view the whole page and therefore no need to scroll up or down.  

Hope this will help anyone with similar problem although unlikely anyone will have this problem 🙂

As its name suggest, a web browser is not a PDF viewer. None of them properly support PDF form functions.

You should open your PDF forms with Acrobat.

Thank you! Yes I know and I do that!
But this is to send to people which most will just download the form and open that way (browser) to fill it in before printing. But thank you for help.
