Hi

I need to create a form in Acrobate that have expandable tables, the user should be able to add rows and I would like to have text fields that expands as the user fill in the text (not just the scrollbar at the end of the text field)

I do not have the knowledge to create this myself and not the time to learn so I would like to have a name of one or more consultants in Sweden that can help me with this

In fact we can do it with Acrobat Pro and AcroForms forms, but since we cannot enlarge the page on the fly, we must reserve blank space so that the fields can be added/displayed.
Which considerably limits the interest of the thing.

Currently this is a feature being considered by Adobe... but we need to upvote it in order for Adobe Softwear engeneers to understand how BASIC and important it is for Form users to have expaning fields!
