When I prepare a fillable form, I want to wrap the text so the person filling out the form can read the whole paragraph they are writing.

Janet,
Select “Multi-line” and “Scroll Long Text” in “Options” tab of the Properties dialog box for your text field. Also, ensure to widen the width (manually) to allow user to view the content as they type
And, I have forwarded your request of “Wrap the Text” to engineering. It will be picked up after prioritization.
We will contact you if we need some more information on this.
Thank you for your patience

When creating a pdf fillable from Excel, every Excel line that is 2 rows (wrapped or hard return) will not create the Yes, No, NA individual fill in boxes as with the other single lines. Adobe won't allow me to select Multi-line or Scroll Long Text. Both are grayed out. Any suggestions for this situation.

Has there been any update on this? The options, multi-line, scrolling does not wrap the text to fit the text box for me. I'm using Acrobat Pro DC

In 2017 (assuming DC is the same) click on the right of the page on "Prepare Form." THEN you can right click on the text field and get to the properties. In that dialog box click the Options tab. Then you can finally get to click the multi-line selection box. Very convoluted. Much easier in Blue Beam.

There is no Properties dialog box for the text field.
I have the full version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I click Edit, right click on the text field in question, there is no Properties option.
