Automatic font size reduction in a PDF form

Hello everybody!

I'm working with SAP.

On my current project I would like to implement a customer form via Adobe Lifecycle Designer.

I'm going to ask a developer to implement the following logic:

There is a fixed rectangular area in the form. This area should represent a text.

In case of long text I would like to reduce the font size to fit the text into the area. It should look like that

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_cAQDpIBg5Bg/S3glj2MIo6I/AAAAAAAAAIk/SN9vEwOEYCY/scale.jpg

Text alignment within the area is Horizontal Centered, Vertical Centered
Text wrap is on
Font is Arial, initial size is 10

Is it possible to implement?

Hi,

I don't think so. Any scripting to force an initial font size, overrides the 0pt and then the text will not automatically reduce.

12pt initially or nothing, as far as I know.

Thanks a lot!

It is working!

One more question how to define the default font size for such element?

I've created a test form with one textfield. Set the font size to 0 and as the result if I put only one char its initial size is about 12. But I would like to set the initial size as 10.

Best,

Sergey

Hi,

Set textfield to multiline and in the font tab set the font size to "0".

Sample attached.
