Creating Expanding Form Fields | Adobe Acrobat

[chadbrinkman]

This helped very much with a user in our Organization. Thank you!

[susumukomatsu]

you mention about expanding into multiple pages, but you never show it.

[Rogelio_]

Thank you for saving me a ton of time on figuring out how to do this. Appreciated :-)

How would one create something similar within a text field? ex: Thank you for your purchase of *string of text that could very in length* with our business today. How would I make the fillable box shove the last part of the sentence to take the space it needs?

[ECAVaud]

Do you know if there is a solution other than Adobe LiveCycle (because it no longer exists today) to extend a text field over several lines and to be able to adjust the height of the field (like the second part of your video

[Kokosnuss]

Since the tool is discontinued, is there a solution within Acrobat Pro or other tools to do the same thing?

[greencoffee]

I've been searching high and low for a user friendly video on this topic and you nailed it. Thanks so much! So simple and clear.

I have numerous check boxes and form fills underneath my first form field that needs to expand so I need everything underneath to also expand across multiple pages. Is there a video that you can show a more complex version of this form field expansion across multiple pages? I have four pages that this form is on. However I tried creating one and multiple sub forms within this document but nothing is moving down. Not even is my first form field moving down. It just creates a scroll at the side and that's all. This probably works great with a simple form. Can you help?

I have Adobe Acrobat X. When I searched programs on my laptop it did not display LiveCycle Designer, but when I followed instructions in this video to edit the form it automatically launched the program. Within minutes I highlighted one text field and checked "allow multiple lines" in Object box and it applied that preference to all text fields so it would expand and print multiple lines of text. Thank you!

This is a great video for a problem I have spent HOURS trying to solve. However, I don't have the Preview PDF tab and it is grayed out in the View menu when I try to add it and I have been unable to find a solution for that issue anywhere despite much time searching. Help!

[rodhobbs]

How can you save the flowable form so that it can be used on a mobile device (eg iphone)?

[alandsouza]

Adobe does not offer this software/app anymore. Are there any alternative methods to do this?

[josemesones]

Is this still something I can do to this day?

[tammyfenimore]

I have been searching and searching, trying to figure out how to do this, and you fixed my issues in 6 short minutes! THANK YOU!!
