Actual Question:

Okay,  am new to Acrobat and LiveCycle.  I have gone through about 9 hours of videos and still can not find an answer to what I know I should be able to do.  Is there a way on a form to create a text field which has the ability to expand its size versus creating a scroll bar so when you print the form it is not chopped off and missing?      This is a 2 page form so a text box has the possibiltiy it could split between 2 pages.

    The forum software runs a virus scan on uploaded files before they're released to the public.  Until the scan is run the attachment will show as Queued.  Unfortunately I don't know how often the scanner runs, but I've seen attachments queued for a day or two, so keep checking back every once in a while.  Once the queued label is gone you can download the file.

    No that is only for Preview mode. When you do a file SaveAs you can choose to save as  a dynamic PDF in the Save As Type dropdown.

    Hi - I'm having a similar issue with the above.  I have managed to get 3/4 of my form to work with the expandable fields expanding on the 2nd page, however, I have other fields below the expandable fields that should be directly below the expandable fields.  I have them on the second page and cannot move them directly below the expandable fields, it moves them to the 3rd page?

    What I'm trying to do, is have signature fields and date fields immediately below the expandable fields but have these fields move to the 2nd page when needed.  I'm attaching the form so that you can see my issue.  I must have changed something on my first page that will not allow me to add any more fields.

    Hoping that someone can help me with this.  In the mean time, it's the end of the day, and will get back at it tomorrow, with hopefully some good help from the forum.

    I think this is what you want. I moved the page numbering to the master page. Then I named the subform with the signatures in it to Signatures and moved it under the root subform (so it is not a page on its own). I then modified the width to fit the rest of the page and allowed the height to expand as required.

    See my attached sample.

    Paul, thank you so much for fixing this for me - this is just awesome.  Can you let me know what I had done wrong that I could not move the signature fields to the first page.  Need to know so that I don't make the same mistake again as I will need to create more of these forms.

    Again, Thank You!!

    I indicated what I did in my previous psot ....thats it!

    The big issue was getting that signature block off of a page subform (the page subform was set as positioned and was 8.5 x 11 inches. By taking it out of a page subform and putting it under the same page I was able to reduce its size to fit the size of all fields in the subform.

    Make sense?

    Thanks Paul, that is great. Really appreciated your help, as I had been working on this for a couple of hours and was getting a little frustrated.

    Hi all,

    I'm new to LiveCycle and am having trouble getting the text fields to push following content when they expand... I've attached a copy of the file... Now sure if I'm being clear or not....

    Cornyo,

    I made a quick example based off the form you attached.  I am assuming that my example is one of the spots you would like the ability for content to expand.

    Hi JT01,

    That is exactly what I need... how do I go about setting up?  I need it in a few fields.  Is it possible to add bullets to field (i.e. automatically add a bullet every time you hit enter)?
