I need to design a multiple page letter and I want the text that is typed in the text field on page one of the letter to flow into another text field on the next page. I want the point size of the text in the text field to remain at a constant point size,

Hi Dasiy101,

The best way to achieve that is to use a LiveCycle Designer PDF form because dynamic fields ( growable and flowable) are a feature of LiveCycle Designer and not Acrobat. The LiveCycle Designer program is included with your purchase of Acrobat Pro 9.

Hope this helps,

Hi Daisy101,

I did not see that you are using a Macintosh system. Bummer, but LiveCycle Designer is Windows only so it is not available for you. What you want to do is not really feasible in an AcroForm ( PDF form created with Acrobat). You can create fields in Acrobat where the user can type as much as they want but as they type more and more the type size gets smaller or there will be a scroll bar tha appears on the side, and they will not see thier full text if printed.

Hope this helps,
