Paragraph construction with fillable fields

Level 4

Not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to know if it would be possible to basically have a form letter with blanks within the sentences that could be filled in, and once filled in, the field would shrink to the size of whatever was entered and the text after the field would also conform to the new text. Below is an example:

We received your request on _________________________________ and will process

your ______________________________ within _______ business days.

would reformat to

We received your request on 9/25/2014 and will process

your hardship claim within 10 business days.

You can create text objects and fields and wrap them in a Flowed subform and set the Flow direction to Western Text. Also to collapse to fit you would have to put code in the exit event of your field: this.minH=".05in" or any low value measurement. Also, if there are some text objects you want to keep with fields, you can turn the text object into the caption of the field. In your example I would make 'your' the caption of your second field.

Here is a working PDF of what you're trying to achieve.
