Adobe Acrobat/Printing a PDF with Multi-line text

Expert: Ken Black - 7/24/2009


Question
How do I get fields that are multi-line text to print the text that online has to be scrolled through. My company needs to be able to print the PDF and see all information that is contained in these multi-line sections, but we can't seem to figure out how to print the text that is below the normal box size and has to be scrolled through. Thanks.

Answer
Hi Wendy,

The fields are not large enough to print all the text typed into them. You will need to edit the form fields you need printed so that the hidden text will print. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can choose Forms -> Edit Fillable Form which will allow you to expand the field to show the hidden text. Depending on the version of Acrobat the Forms sub menu can be found under the Document menu, Advanced menu or Forms itself.

Thanks,

Ken Black
