I have designed an Acrobat 7 dynamic XML form using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. I would like some of my text field boxes to expand onto a new page as user data overflows a set size text field. How do I do this? Thanks for any help!!

Thanks Merlin for posting that example.

But, does that mean that I have to make the new pages that the text would flow on to? Can I not have reader create a new page?

For example, person A might type 1 page and person B might type 5 pages. And when I want to print out there form then I only get 1 page from person A and five printed pages from person B.

Hello,

I am looking for an answer to the same question. However, the above link does not seem to be working.

There is one way of doing this, if you make the text field so that they are multiline that should extend the box, however it will "drape" over the field below. Otherwise if your looking for Indesign to populate a new page, then Im unaware if this is possible :|
