I have made a fillable form on Acrobat. I used a textbox and set all of the properties. I have given the text box a maximum of 500 characters. Once typing has reached a certain amount (on the screen) it provides a scroll to be able to see the rest of the content. When I print it will only print what is on the screen and nothing of the part that you need to scroll down through. Is there a way to make it print everything that has been typed in?

There is no way to get all of the text to print for a field that contains more text than will show for the size of the field. The best way to do this is to make a dynamic form in LiveCycle Designer. That way the field can expand to show all of the data. This is not possible in Acrobat.

The only other way that I can think of is to set the font size of the text field to Auto which will make the text re-size to fit in the visible area of the field. That of course does away with any consistent uniformity of text sizes in your form if that matters.
