Printing all text in a scrollable text field on a fillable form without using auto for text size

Community Beginner ,

Is there any way to print all of the text entered into a scrollable text window regardless of what is visible  without limiting the text size to auto?  In this day and age of accessible document requirements, shrinking text does not work. Is there another way?

You can copy it (using a script) to another, larger, field, but if there are no limits on the length of it, it could be too long for that field as well. A more complex script could split the text into parts and spawn multiple copies of pages with full length fields, and populate each one with a part of the text, but that is quite a complex operation.

Thanks so much for your response. Not being one who writes scripts I am wondering where one would find such scripts?  Does a script library exists somewhere? I will continue searching but if anyone knows of a pre-existing scipt to do this that they could share it would be very much appreciated. TIA

I've written similar scripts in the past, so if you're interested in hiring a professional to create it for you, feel free to contact me privately by clicking my user-name and then on the blue "Message" button.
