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.

This was the case, again, your knowledge is greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for the tip on the content area. I am now using that area the way it was intended to be used.

Thanks for all the assistance, you guys really know your stuff.

Great thread, have used acrobat but very new to Livecycle. Can the expandable text box be made to "snap back" to its original size so as not to disrupt/move the rest of the form down the page?

I have been struggling with this issue for weeks. This reply from Kevin was the most helpful due to the sample document (thank you!). However.....I believe I have done all of the necessary steps. When typing in my form the field expands but the text box below does not move so is overlapped by the previous. I want to attach a sample of my document but don't see how to attach a document to my post. Can anyone help? Thanks!
