I have noticed that you can set the height of a text field to "auto-fit".
Allowing "multiple lines" with "auto-fit" on, means the field will expand as you input more lines.
However it doesn't know when to stop and carrys on off the page if your passage is too long, thus i was wondering if there is a way to limit the height of the field while enable this function.

Many thanks,

Ian

Ian, your document must be saved as a Dynamic pdf. How I set mine up is: the Page is set to Flowed under Subform and Content; then I select Allow Page Breaks within Content. I wrap my Text Field in a Positioned Subform, and select Allow Page Breaks. The TextField of course is set to MultiLine and Expand to fit. Once the file is saved, you should be ok. Ensure you save your document before setting anything to a Flowed Content because it can sometimes cause havoc.

hmmm one more question just out of curiosity..
as you can also set the field's width to Expand to fit, how can we solve that problem?
cos you can't really page break that way~!!

Can we put aize limit on auto-fit fields?

Ian, I am not familiar with 8.1, but in 7.1, there is a limit length for Max Chars under the Field tab of a TextField object. Does this answer your question?
