How do I create Dynamic TextFields in LiveCycle

Avatar

Level 1

I need to create a form what contains text fields which will be loaded via a data merge from a UniData database. These text fields may contain data or may not. If there is no data, the text field needs to disappear (i.e., take up no space on the form). If there is data, the text field need to grow to contain the data that is placed in it (there can be from 1 to N lines - the amount of data to load is unknown until the merge takes place). I've flagged the fields as "Allow multiple lines" but that doesn't make them grow. I've also checked the "Expand to fit" box on the verticle axis but that doesn't appear to do anything at all. Is there a way to make these textfields grow and shrink?

Make sure the form is saved as an Adobe Dynamic XML Form.
