--- Comment #10 from Léo <leoboudet@orne-libre.fr> ---
Hi everyone,
I didn't find any example yet to show you the feature but it is a common one in
Acrobat Pro.


What I understand, so far, is that you create a text box with a width of 1cm
and expect this to grow when the user enters more than 10 characters or so.
Up to a maximum of course. Never seen such a control and doubt it works on
PDFs. 

The use case of unclear input length is very common and solved with so
called memo fields, multi-line text input. The text box has the property
Text Type for this and when set to "Multi-line" you can define when to break
and how scrollbars appear.

No this is not what I'm looking for.

Let me give an example: on a pdf I created an e-mail address field (one line,
let's say 10cm max). Some people will have a short address (ex:
chewbacca@wook.ie) and some will have long addresses (ex:
anakin.skywalker@thedarkforce.vador).
To optimize the layout (before printing for example), I'd like to have a
confortable size of reading that will progressively decrease as the length of
the address increases and fills the 10cm reserved for it.

There is a thread about this feature (font size -> "auto") in Adobe Acrobat
here:
