    Printing entire contents of InfoPath multi line text field

    I have an InfoPath 2010 form that contains some multi line text fields that when I print the form does not print the entire contents of the field if it exceeds the space allocated (ie. the scroll bars show up and the text is cut off). I know that I could create a print view and stretch the field to ensure that all the text gets printed but that would result in a lot of white space for the majority of the forms. Is there a way to have these fields automatically size to fit based on the content of the field for printing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I think I found a solution by creating the print view and then updating the properties for each of the multi line text fields in the size tab to auto for the Height value.

    Well, it almost worked.  When I click on the Print Preview from the browser InfoPath form, it looks fine.  Once I go to the print command from IE9 and do a print (or print preview) the last line of the text is being cut off.  Help.

    I solved my problem by changing the font in the text box that was being printed.  The default font type was not one directly supported by the printer.  Once I changed the font to Arial then everything printed as expected.  Hope that help for you.

    I fixed it by adding a 12 pixel padding to the bottom of my multiline text boxes. Right click on the Control, go to the Control Properties, on the Size tab, change the Padding, Bottom spec to 12 px. Works for any font.
