I don't see how this even remotely answers the question.... YES, scrolling does have everything to do with this. If you create a pdf form with a free form text box and the person filling out the form enters more text than the size of your text box, you will see a scroll bar. When attempting to print in either Document or Form fields only format - all text will not print - a plus sign prints indicating more text. The question is, how can you print so ALL text in text box prints. I have searched the Adobe knowledge base and cannot find an answer. I can't imagine this is not a very common problem
The question didn't say anything about scrolling text fields. The right way to handle that case is to use a dynamic livecycle form.
If the form is static and text field has a fixed size there's little you can do about showing everything in the field. If you resize the text box to fit all the text, you'll cover over some other part of the form. You could print the info to another page in a space large enough to display it, like a summary page. But this would be specific to the particular document, there's no general strategy, except for creating a dynamic LiveCycle form.
