How to autofit text or change the size of text when filling a PDF form. I use Adobe Reader X

This ia a govt. form. I am entering large text into a text box and how do I fit this in the text box given.

Hi,

If you set the font size of the text field value (not the caption) to zero then the text will shrink to fit.  This can be set in the font palette.  But this can reduce the text so small that it can't be read.  If you are developing a dynamic form then you can set the text field to expand to fit (in the layout palette), just make sure the containing subform is set to flowed, when the user exits the field it will expand to fit all text.
