Create subforms with flowable elements

Depending on the purpose of your form design, you may want to add an adjustable section to the form where users can type information such as special requests or comments. With Designer, you can apply different options to text fields and subforms that enable the size of sections in the form to adjust to the amount of data that the user enters.

For example, your interactive form may contain a Comments section that users can display or hide by clicking a button. You would create the section by using a text field placed inside a subform with these options selected to enable dynamic data entry:

Text field
Allow Multiple Lines and Plain Text Only (Field tab), User Entered - Optional (Value tab), Height - Expand to fit (Layout palette)

Enables users to enter as much text as they want in the Comments section and ensures that the text field automatically expands in height to display the data available.

Subform
Allow Page Breaks Within Content (Subform tab), Max (count) with a value of 1 (Binding tab), Auto-fit (Layout palette)

Allows the comments subform to carry over to succeeding pages when necessary and to appear only once in the form and ensures that the subform automatically enlarges to display the data available.
