I understand you can make a form that will automatically adjust to the information other users can type in. I've set both my fields and subform to the options under Creating adjustable subforms. But whenever someone goes to type in a field and there's too many words, when they are complete, you see a plus sign in the right corner. All my fields are made within my subform. What am I doing wrong?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

The fields are not part of the subform and not expanding to the size of the user input. Subforms in Desinger are complicated and it's beyond the scope of this forum to detail all the steps you need to create a dynamic form.

Search the help file available in Designer, the sample files installed with Designer, and log on to: [url=http://www.adobe.com/products/server/adobedesigner/]http://www.adobe.com/products/server/adobedesigner/[/url] for a wealth of tips and information realted to creating forms in Designer.
