    In Acrobat professional I created a form textfield box in the PDF file. When I test filling this box in as an end user the text always moves up and gets cut off. I've been playing with this all night. I see no way of getting it to stay put.

    Try going into Properties and instead of using Auto for Font size choose a specific size. double-clicking on the given field will bring up preferences.

    It's already at a specific font actually.

    I also tried reshaping the textfield to various sizes to no avail.

    Did you try reducing the size of the font, or using a different style font.

    Weird. Seems to have only worked when I brought the font all the way down to 16 pt, which is not what I'm looking for on this project.

    Is there no way to have the font larger than that. What do you get with a large font on your end?

    The font style has no effect on it either way.

    Check to see in your Text Field Properties box. under the Options Tab, if the "Multi-Line" box is on. If so, click it off. You can now set your font to Automatic sizing.

    I have none of those boxes clicked in Options actually.

    After entering the text, and clicking away, the text seems to slide upward and goes beyond the top border.

    But now that you mentioned ticking Multi-line ON can be a somewhat weird solution.
