Multiline editable PDF Form Fields

I would generate a PDF with some editable fields to be edited in a PDF reader.
It was quite simple to generate single-line editable modules but I can't get to let them be multi-line.
I noticed that the 'Form Field' option is only available for the Label component and not for the Memo one, moreover I noticed no difference in generating the field with or without the Wordwrap option: in any case the field is single-line.
Do you have any advice on this? May this depend on the reader I use to edit them (Adobe Reader DC) and not on the generation?

Thank you?

  • Hi Giuseppe,

    The ReportBuilder PDF device currently does not support multi-line form fields. Thank you for the feedback, we will add this to our list of possible enhancements for a future release.

  • Hi, i am also interested in this feature. As far as i know multi-line is a proprety of a form field, so if the multiline property is settable from report designer you could use it when creatinf the pdf document. Do you have any plan for this feature? Thanks.
