Dynamic text fields overlaps in Adobe Forms

Former Member — Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:57:15 GMT

Dear Experts,

I have two to four text fields for which values are getting populated dynamically at run time.

If the value of the text item increases it overlaps with the next item. Please guide.

Regards,

Paavan

Hey Paaavan,

I assume you do not have free horizontal space besides every text to allow the expansion.

In that case, just check the box 'Allow Multiple Lines' and 'Expand to Fit' height wise (don't rem. exact word).

Hi Paaavan,

In order to avoid overlapping of values as you mentioned, please do the following:

1) Select all the text fields (those are being overlapped) and wrap them within a subform.

2) From the object properties of the subform, make it as "Flowed".

3) Keep the "Expand to fit" checkbox checked for the Height option for all the text fields.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks,

Arnab
