Help creating template fields with dynamic size

[andrew_5966]

I created an agreement template with several text input fields. I also created a flow in MS Power Automate to auto-populate data into these fields. There is one field in particular that typically gets filled with a large amount of text. This field is situated on the bottom portion of the template, and is typically overfilling the size I have allotted for that field. This is resulting in a lot of the text getting cut off. Is there a way to make the field either spill onto the next page, or have the size/location of the field change depending on the amount of text that is in it?

Hi @andrew_5966,

Hope you are doing well. Thanks for writing in about creating form fields with dynamic sizing.

Unfortunately, Acrobat Sign does not currently support dynamic resizing of fields in the signature workflow. The text fields on a document/template have a fixed height and width, even if the field is set to multiline.

Here’s what that means:

• You can allow multi-line input, but the box size is fixed.

• If the text exceeds the visible area, users will need to scroll within the field, or Acrobat Sign will reduce font size to fit the content.

• The field will not grow vertically like a text area on a web form.

That being said, here's a workaround you might want to try.

You can enable multi-line input and manually increase the height of the field to fit expected input:

1. Open your Acrobat Sign template in the Authoring view.

2. Add a Text Input Field.

3. In the right panel:

   • Enable “Multiline”

   • Adjust the height of the field manually to accommodate long text.

4. Optionally set the font to auto-fit to squeeze more text.

If this is not what you are looking for, pleae feel free to share your feedback about the tool here: https://adobe.ly/416zz0V to ensure it reaches the development team directly for review and future implementations.
