I have a word fillable form the allows for multiple input and it all is visable, how do I create that in Acrobat 8 pro?
 
The text boxes fill and the entire entries do not show. I need for the people filling out the form to see their entries, and I need to be able to read the doc when returned. Some fields require nealty 1000 words.

Convert the Word document to PDF, then, from the Menu bar in Acrobat 8, click Forms, Run Form Field Recognition.

Inspect the results and use the Form tools to make any changes to any form field properties.

thanks, I have been able to accomplish the conversion, however, I need the text boxes to be capable of being saved in dynamic form so that all of the fillable text is visable, and pages are added as the form is filled in. For some reason, I have not figured out how to convert the word fillable form I have to pdf and retain the features I need. The dynamic features are locked out in every word form I have tried to create in Acrobat Pro version 8. My original doc is a static form from a previous version.---but IT works.
