Hi, I have created a form from a MS Word 2007 document in Acrobat Professional 8.0. I am running Windows Vista (and XP on another computer). I want users to be able to print all the text that is typed into the scrollable text fields, rather than just limiting it to what fits in the box and printing a '+' sign. How do I make the box expand (and push the fields underneath down to accomodate this) both on screen and when printing? I'm sure it must be something quite simple, but I just can't find it.
I look forward to your suggestions!
Thank you,
Samantha

Thanks carrimak,
I would certainly prefer to be able to limit the size of the fields and not need scrolling, but the form users specifically want to allow for those who have a lot to say. A number of users contribute to the form. Each user can add or edit what is included in the text fields,which is how it gets to be so long. What I would like to be able to do is to have the text boxes expand as more text is entered, not just scroll, and to be able to print the entire contents of each field. Is there any way that this can be achieved?
Thanks,
Samantha

Hmmm...you really need to be using Acrobat LiveCycle Designer. I haven't used that program much; but it makes dynamic forms with fields that can expand. It's installed along with Acrobat, but it's got a bigger learning curve. So, I guess the best thing is to follow some of the tutorials on the Acrobat site; or get a good book, or use the help function.
I prefer to use Acrobat since for me it is a more time-efficient tool. But sounds like you've got a special case. Browse through the LiveCycle material on the Acrobat Users site.....

Check this link for answer to a very similar problem. Might apply.
Hope this helps.

Acrobat is probably the program I use most often and I'm learning more every day.
