    Default Creating dynamic text fields

    Only found one topic relating to this, and it's buried in the archives, with no definitive answer. To quote from that post:

    I'm trying to create a form in Acrobat Professional that has a text box that will flow to the next page. It states in the "help" documents under "fill in and clear a form" that "Some text fields are dynamic, meaning that they automatically resize to accommodate the amount of data you enter and can span across pages."

    I cannot get a text box to do this - I cannot find any specific instructions anywhere that tell how to create these "dynamic text fields"

    I'm told that the Windows-only LiveCycle Designer allows this, but what about us Mac users?

    Sadly true. While not a perfect solution by any means... there is always the option to run Windows on your Mac via BootCamp, VMWare Fusion or Parallels.
