I prefer for the field to expand to be the exact size needed to accommodate any text inputted.
However, I may run into the issue of the field being too large for a short response (taking up unnecessary amount of space on the document) or the field being too small for a longer response (causing me to deal with technical issues instead of focusing on filling out the form). Another option I may have is to manually create the space I need to fit text on Word prior to creating a PDF. While typing into a field, the only options were for the text to automatically resize to fit into the field (making it illegible and not ideal for printing purposes) OR the text would remain the same font size but a scroll bar would appear (again, not ideal for printing purposes because all the text in the scroll field does not print). Everything was working great until I realized the fillable field would not expand as I type. When I think of PDFs, I think of Adobe which is why I find it incredibly shocking that Adobe Acrobat does not offer a very important feature to individual customers - the ability to create a pdf with expandable fields as you type.
