How do I make the text box expand so when I'm filling in & then printing I see everything that was typed. I know its something probably easy & I'm just not seeing it.
 
I've made a form I can make the fields limited text which doesn't help or unlimited text which is better but when I print the form I don't see everything that was typed.
 
Thanks Denise

Set the form field property on the Options tab to multi-line. Do not limit text less than the expected number of characters the user will enter.

Eugene -

Thanks I've done that & maybe I'm still doing something wrong here.When I print I see the which shows me that there is more text but how do I display all that was written if we need a paper copy of the form?

If I could attach the form I would to show you.
thanks
Denise

I have an adobe form that I received from another party. One of the fields is a text field that seems to be limited to only 100 characters. Is there any way that I can expand this field to be unlimited characters instead?

What product are you using?

Does the form have any security restrictions?

What product was used to create the form, Acorbat, LiveCycle Designer, Nitro PDF, etc.?

Have you tried to contact the creator of the form?

Hi-

Thanks for your reply.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0

I can't tell whether their are security restrictions on the form or not- I presume the form was created in Adobe, but I'm not sure- is there a way to determine this?

We have a phone call out to the company that is asking us to complete the form, but we have not heard back from them yet.

Thanks again,

Melissa
