I'm having trouble with some forms. The issues I'm facing is that if I use the digital version to type in my information, there are some boxes that aren't long enough to fit all the text. It will just keep typing, and then when I click out of the box to go to another box to type, it doesn't resize what I wrote, it just cuts it off, so I don't know if I made an error or not, and I don't know if that's what will show up on the physically printed copy or the digital copy I send to someone. I already tried the scroll lock thing from Adobe, it didn't work.

Ultimately I need to print these out to hand sign them with a pen, as they don't accept digital signatures. I try printing out the forms, but it just reformats the page so it squishes it down and then when I go to fill it in by hand to fit everything in there I have to use really tiny writing to fit it. Which I'm concerned won't be legible if I scan it to send to someone for proof reading.

I've tried resizing it using scaling in the print window, with all different percentages, and it doesn't seem to work, it just cuts things off and prints them onto the next page. Because the clearance people are incredibly picky, every single thing in these forms has to be perfect. I've attached some pictures. The first one is from when I printed the forms out from a work computer and printer (that I no longer have access to) and the next two are from when I tried to do it at home with my equipment.

I feel incredibly frustrated at how simple a fix this must be but I can't figure it out, I feel like a boomer.

Please help me.

EDIT: The printer I'm using is an HP2855e. The driver under the Options and Supplies menu for the printer just says "4.0".

I'm trying to fill out some forms, it's not going well. Point form to make it easier to read:

- printed forms from work computer, forms fit to page, lots of room to write on.

- sent forms to personal email for extra copies

- no longer access to site work computer

- make mistakes on original printed form

- print new forms at home computer

- forms scale to fit inside page, but different from first time. Fields too small to write in.

- try all different scaling on printing at home, prints with some parts on one page onto another, can't get fixed.

- Try filling pdf on computer with Adobe 7 day free trial, some areas I can't fit all text in on computer, just cuts off when text field runs out.

- tried troubleshooting with Adobe, still won't

downsize the text while I'm typing it into box.

- Adobe says Prepare Form > double-click fillable text field to open Text Field Properties > go to appearance tab > in font size dropdown menu, select auto.

- but it doesn't let me double click the blue text field to do that, and when I click the prepare form tab.

I don't know how to fix this. I just want my text to fit, either by printing by hand or typing it.

Computer is apple MacBook pro, Tahoe version 26.3.1(a)

I want to add some pictures I took of the physical printed copies to show you what I'm dealing with, but wouldn't you know it, when I click the add image button on the Reddit app, it will only let me select one photo and not add more. I'm so incredibly frustrated by how complicated this whole process has been.

Please help, I feel like a boomer.
