If you are using Adobe Professional to create fields that students can type into, you have probably been frustrated by the formatting. Specifically, you may not like it that as students' writing fills the provided width of the text field, the font size begins to get really small. You can change this by:
1) Open the PDF in Adobe Pro (*not* Adobe Reader)
2) Select "Forms" and "Add or Edit Fields"
3) RIGHT click on a Text box you have added and select "Properties"
4) Choose "Options" tab
5) Uncheck "Scroll Long Text" and check "Multi-line" - this stops the font from decreasing and allows the writing to fill the size of the box you create.
6) You can now re-size the Text box by clicking and draging the corners of the Text box to the width and height that you want to accommodate the potential answer.
