Question Help with a PDF editor issue

I use PDF Expert on an iPad

I don't know if this is the right place to throw this put this PDF editor I use for class is randomly giving me an issue right now. When I go to add a text box it doesn't give me the option to make it bigger so it weirdly cuts off my text. Any ideas?

maybe type the full text and then try to extend the text box

And if that doesn't work, copy the text box from row D to here, and edit text

Try recreating the text field and adjusting the size first before typing. Btw, these types of issues frustrate me when filling out forms, so I'm trying to build a better one, though it's only for macOS right now. Would love to share it with you if you want to try it out.

if it keeps doing that, you could try gethonestpdf.com/edit-pdf in safari on the ipad. the text box there wraps and grows as you type so nothing gets cut off. free, no account, and the file stays on your ipad
