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.
