AEM Forms expandable fields

[julie-1]

Hello, 

I would like to know if there is a possibility 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? 

Thanks.

The field should be multiline and expand to fit. Also, the page or subform that contains the field should be a flowable layout. And make PDF dynamic.

Do you have one file in example to be sure that we speak about the same things.

What do you want to say by : a flowable layout ?

Rem : does it possible to have AEM form on test to be sure that i could use it to do the forms wanted.

Flowable layout in the forms adjusts its length according to the amount of data merged into it.

I assume you're making the form in Livecycle or Designer?

If so you'd want to make sure that the subform that the text field is part of has it's Object -> Subform -> Content layout property set to 'Flowed':

Then, in the actual text field that you would like you expand, you need to adjust it's settings so that 'allow multiple lines':

And it's height set to 'Expand to fit':

I think that should get you what you want.  Cheers!
