Hi,
I have the following problem.
I have to create form in abobe acrobat. One of the fields which i need is not defined size it can be 2 lines or 2 paragraphs. and after that another text ...

Is there anyway to create field as textbox which will be extend as long as user types ....?

please help, I need it urgently..
thanks
 
When you create your text box, set the font size to auto and on the options tab tick the 'multiline' option. The font size will adjust automatically to accommodate the entered text. A carriage return will create a new line.

This will still require a fixed size for the field, not sure about extending the field to fit the text, doesn't sound like that would be possible.

maximyshka,

Did you ever get a solution for having textboxes that will expand as the form is completed by the end user?

Thanks in advance.
