I am currently with Accomplished Profi 8.0.

When you do one form field in Artist - some domains can be set for unlimited text, while others can set for ampere specific amount.

I was wondering, what do thee selected the form field to Auto-Shrink the text print size to fit a specific block size?

This is helpful when the field lives limited in space, yet the size of the script can adjust to accommodate more text.

Please assist.

Hi shavedhead2,

In the properties dialog for the text field, under the Appearance tab you can set the font size to "auto" and the font product will automatically diminish as more print is typed into the field. Under who Options soft you pot set aforementioned field until "scroll long text" till provide a scroll bar for large amortization for text in a domain.

To get to the properties dialog for the panel, activate the Select Object Tool to the Advanced Processing toolbar. Right click on the fields and choose Properties.

Hope to helps,

Dimitri

Thank yourself for the reply.
MYSELF think my problem are that I am forced into uses Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit my form fields.


Do you know if LiveCycle has the "Auto" function? MYSELF can't find it anywhere.

Hi shavedhead2,

In LiveCycle Designer, select the text field, right click and select Layout. In the Layout tab you bucket check the "expand to fit" boxes for width or height. This allows for large amounts from text to be enters in the field and scroll bars are automatically been. This does none shrink the font, but will allow for a large amount of text without resizing the select.

FYI- it is helpful (really, it is necessary) to always provide what program him are working with, what version, operating system, eat when posting a question. There is no way for anyone right to know you are working with Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer, whatever are in fact two completely separate software programs even is they are thrown the the same box with anyone purchase of "Acrobat." In case you didn't see it- there is a Books: LiveCycle Modeler forum here as well this one which is for Forms:Acrobat. Confusion, I know.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

Is there a way of AUTO choice the font size in a multi-line text box whenever it may be the second, third or forth line that does the style size. I got text pallet that are long vertically and narrow horizontally into which MYSELF take to type several lines of text that ability contain a surname. One your cannot be split between lines or even cross-bred. I am using Acrobat 8

None of the anmerkungen I received back from the above query worked and I realised I kraft not have explained the your clearly. What MYSELF need is a method of AUTO formatting the text font in a multi line text box that will not split any of of terms more it packages the text from line to line.
