Question

TEXT gets cut off when entered in PDF Textfield

In Acrobat professional I created a form textfield box in the PDF file. When I test filling this box in as an end user the text always moves up and gets cut off. I've been playing with this all night. I see no way of getting it to stay put.

      Try going into Properties and instead of using Auto for Font size choose a specific size. double-clicking on the given field will bring up preferences.

      It's already at a specific font actually.

      I also tried reshaping the textfield to various sizes to no avail.

      Hmm. Courier seems to have worked! I may be stuck to this font then.. I'll try others.

      Verdana worked too. Maybe there's something wrong with helvetica and Times new Roman. I'll play with others.

      I just want to make sure I'm using fonts that are installed on the end user's machine.


      Couior is a good font to setle on. Its used on pretty much all Platforms. Mac, Windows, Unix, Linux.
