Does anybody know the best way to put a scrolling text box into a PDF Document? I have been told to use the form palate and make a text box from there. I have done that, it shows the text. However is whited out with the name of the box in the middle. It does not seem to work for my needs. I am trying to nest a text box into a portion of a PDF template that I started in photoshop. Any suggestions?

Sure. Add a form text field and set it to Multiline.

Great thanks for the quick response, yet still not really getting it, I am using a photoshop background template and what the to nest and/or sit in the corner? Could you elaborate please. Presently I have created a text box with all the content pasted in, Yet it slightly white with it's name right in the middle. I have checked both tha multiline options as well as the scrolling option yet it seems stuck at that. Once again thankyou.
