Need help with formating

Question

Hello:
I have created a survey form with approx 50 questions and 4 choices (Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often).  I am saving it as a .pdf to email to patients and not including the "submit" button.  I have a header and text box (instructions) above the questions.  When I save the document, it inserts a page break after my text box, which is leaving a lot of blank space on the first page.  How do I correct that?
P.S.  I have tried decreasing the pixel width but then get a warning message "rating scale cropped".

Hope this makes sense...

Eventhough you distribute your form as a HTML (web) form you can still view the Page View by switching the view with the control in the bottom right corner so you have an idea what the PDF will look like when you "Download the Response as PDF".
Open you form
Go to the Design Tab
Switch to Page View
Once in Page View you might see which content is truncated (if you scroll down you might see a red rectangle over some content)
What you need to do with Rating Scale is separate them in multiple fields.
For example if you have a Rating Scale with 30 rows of questions change it to be two Rating Scale fields with 15 row each. Make sure you export your data first because changing the Rating Scale might delete some columns in your Response Table if you already have gather data.
You can also try to make the font smaller. That might made ehough room for your Rating Scale to fit completely on one page.
Also note that the Page Break you add to the Page View doesn't affect the Page Break on your web fillable form.
