This is a question about populating a PDF form using CF. My form template has text fields that are set to multi-line and scroll long text. However, when CF populates the field and it has more text than fits, it just cuts it off and doesn't provide the typical plus sign for viewing the additional text. Is this a limitation with CF? Or is there another solution to deal with text larger than the field in the pdf? Preston

Please post the creating code as guessing, I would tell you to use software adobe hasnt produced in a decade to make your form.

Yeah, I'm with edub here, is this LiveCycle PK?

Found the issue. I had "flatten" turned on when in the process of renaming it. It wasn't in the process of filling the form fields in the template.
Copy code
<cfpdf action="write" 
      destination="#application.uploadDirectory#/#pdffilename#" 
      source="#application.uploadDirectory#/TEMP#pdffilename#" 
      flatten="yes" 
      overwrite="yes">
