    Default Adding fields to a PDF

    I finally figured out how to add fields to a PDF, but I ran into a problem. I have a multi-line field but I am unsure how to build the fields so that the text the user is typing will return down to the next line. I am just so confused about to make a multi line field where the text will wrap down to the next line. Can anyone help?

    Platform: Mac OS X 10.4.2
    Acrobat Professional V.6.0

    Default Re: Adding fields to a PDF

    In a multi-line field the user should be able to enter text until it reaches the right side of the form field then automatically wrap to the next line. Is that not what's happening?

    Default Re: Adding fields to a PDF

    Well, the problem is that the pdf that I have has the lines already on it. The pdf was really made to be printed out so that the student could fill in the info with a pen. So there are a few lines for the student to write on. But now that I am adding form functionality to it, I cannot just draw one large field over those few lines. I need to make it look like you are typing on the lines that are on the pdf. Is there a way to have the text wrap to another field below? I just don't know any other way to do it.
