Auto Expand Text Form Fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

[pjr41]

I've created several form fields using the "Prepare Form" option and I wanted to set the properties to auto expand depending on the amount of text that is entered without scroll bars and that will display all the text without cutting it off. I've searched for a solution online and it looks like this has to be done using Javascript. Can this be done within Adobe Acrobat or a separate application such as the ExtendScript Toolkit? Also, I'm not to savvy when it comes to coding so any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

ExtendScript is for other apps, it won't help you. This is so difficult you can consider it impossible for your purposes. That's just not done with PDF forms.

Set the font size of the field to 0

There's no reliable way of doing that in an Acrobat form. You can either set the font size to Auto, as mentioned, or you would need to switch to LiveCycle Designer, where this functionality is available.
