Reducing the Text height in Adobe Forms

Question

I have a text field which I have included for the long text of me22n transaction in the context node of Adobe forms. In the form I want to adjust the maximum height of the text field using java script or any other way, as in I do not want to print the text if it exists for more than 3 lines?

Answer 1

You need to implement a "flowed" design. the concept of flowed means that your field/subform/form expands as your data grows.
To do this, inserrt a subform and mark it as flowed (Top to Bottom), then drop in a text box and bind it to your input field.
In your text box's properties, make sure you allow Multiple Lines, and in your Layout pallette make sure Expand to Fit checkboxes are checked.
your field will grow or shrink depending on your input data.
EDIT: if you want to hide your field, you need to use formcalc or javascript. you need to check some value (whatever that is, is up to you) then hide your field.
if (BUSINESS_UNIT eq "G/A" ) then
  COMM_DLY_COSTS.presence  = "hidden"
endif
