Character limit in text box

[sophiam47218877]

Does anyone know if/how to set a maximum amount of characters allowed in a text box or restrict the amount of characters to the natural limits of the text box? (Alternatively, can a reader scroll through a long text box? Input seems to be unlimited but the reader cannot see what's outside the perimeter of the box...)

You can limit the number of characters if you create the form in Acrobat Pro. You can also have multi line fields, You can also have the field change the font  size to fit more characters. Put you need Acrobat Pro to create these form fields.

How do you limit the characters in a text field in Acrobat Pro?

You can edit the character limit for a text field inside of Adobe Sign by changing the validation type to String. This will allow you to set a maximum length for the field.
