Text Field won't allow me to enable or check Allow page breaks within content

I already tried wrapping it in subform and change the content to Flowed. But it's still greyed out.

I have data in header text that ignores line break: It looks like this:

NUMBER: 123456789

NUMBER2: 987654321

But is displayed like this:

NUMBER: 123456789NUMBER:

987654321

Dear KenJo Gianan,

I think there is no line break in the content so line break is happening.
So either insert a line break as a separate character (I don't know how to do that) or maybe try to use multiple Textfields or use a table to display the data. That might be possible workarounds.

No there is a line break but the data data is transferred from a billing document. As I said, the Data is displayed like this in the headertxt:

Number1: 12345

Number2: 6789101112

Number3: 12345

Number4: 67890

Also, Thanks for the reply. Can you teach me how to do it with multiple text fields or what they call an overflow? I am planning to either use two text fields or four for each line that will fit all the text on each textbox per line

Dear KenJo Gianan,

did you also enable?

"Allow multiple lines"

Maybe check in the XML Source if there is a before the second line this should be the Linebreak.

Yes allow multiple lines is also checked. The problem is that the Text Data is not static,
The data is called in a specific billing document inside the header text and labeled as "comment"

inside the comment, it is displayed like this:

Number1: 12345

Number2: 6789101112

Number3: 12345

Number4: 67890

But when the form displays it in print preview:

Number1: 12345Number2:

678901112Number3: 1234

5Number4: 67890

when the data is passed to the form, the form doesn't recognize the line breaks. It ignores it and just want to display all the text inside the size of the textbox. If I decrease the width of the text box, the displayed text in the first line will decrease as well and put it on the second line. Then of course, the remaining characters that supposed to be on the second line will be at the third line, and the remaining for the third line will at the fourth line.

I assume the adobe form reads it and displays it like this:

---------------------------------------

| Number1: 12345Number2: |

| 678901112Number3: 1234 |

| 5Number4: 67890 |

---------------------------------------

Dear KenJo Gianan,

unfortenately your picture is not loading but maybe the issue is related to the arrangement.

I found that texboxes placed in the masterpage are not able to be able to activate "Allow page breaks within content".

If you place the textbox in the main page area or design area you should be able to activate

Allow page breaks within content in the subform and the texbox.
see attached Pictures:

Subform in Masterpage (not possible)


Subform in Content area possible:

Hi after moving the textbox to the content area, it did not fix my issue. Seems like page break won't solve this issue

I have data in header text that ignores line break: It looks like this:

NUMBER: 123456789

NUMBER2: 987654321

But is displayed like this:

NUMBER: 123456789NUMBER:

987654321

Any ideas how can I do this?
