Form field within a paragraph of a pdf. It’s possible?

I have a pdf file that I want to convert into a form so I can edit it easier. I already saw how to add text fields but I would like to know if it is possible to add text fields within a paragraph, so the text is fenced adapting to how long the value of the field is and it looks better

I am using Adobe Acrobat pro, but if i need another program i can use it.

  • Generally you should avoid dynamics in a PDF as it just causes problems for others. The concept of a field is it is not in the page but outside it with a reference inside the page to what data can be shown in a box or by a fixed number of characters or a tick or a selection from a dropdown. So the page text can even spill behind the field no problem as there is no interaction whatsoever. Now I am specifically avoiding DYMAMIC Adobe only XFA forms which are downrated as not ISO standard baseline PDF constructions thus to be reduced / removed where possible, as non working in many PDF readers

  • What you need to understand is that data field as not as well defined in style when it comes into a reader so if it spans more than one line high it will often be distorted by the reading editor and cause multiple problems see stackoverflow.com/a/76675218/10802527 and several other related issues including where text cannot be seen due to reader rescaling stackoverflow.com/a/77471214/10802527
