Input Table: How to resize the input table columns and fit long text in the form

I am ultimately making a form for submissions for intake for our company. I have to have an area that allows me to contact a total of 5 people usually, to schedule specific meetings (i.e. with their kids), and I have to be able to document each try, at the very least of 2 times a day for 7 days (another words scheduling with these 5 people to confirm details will work for all parties, until we are able to confirm the schedule is nailed down after speaking to all of them).

This is a contractual need for our company and have to have proof that we made these attempts with all parties, and info. If it happens that we get information on the first few tries, great, but not always the case, and our contract states we must do that for 7 days before marking as failed attempt.

My questions is with a table in Jotform, since I've started by creating an adobe fill-able form and imported it into Jotform, I'm noticing that when I go to fill the form out (or even have it auto fill with sample data), if the person needs more area in a row's specific "Notes" section (the last column), it will not enter all the info, and cut it off and not enter because the fields are too small.

I'm assuming it has to be portrait since my first few pages are Portrait that this needs to be created into, hence I cannot make it Landscape on third and fourth page (to allow for more info on certain fields) and keep Portrait for the top two pages. I've exhausted that option, it's one or the other, but is possible in Acrobat and word, just not an option for Jotform.

So, my question would be, does Jotform allow to create a form itself (without doing it via import from fill-able PDF, that would allow me to "expand" fields when they have more information in them? Without using my original form with boxes around the fields. Does that make sense? If you need to look at my forms already being worked on, please do, but if I have to send in a screen shot, I can attach as well.

It doesn't seem as easy when importing a PDF form that has "hard lines" that data has to fit into, but doesn't always allow for that option when the text is larger when typed info is entered. Changing each box and duplicating them is possible for rows/columns, but does not allow to fix what I need. (Another words, if I had a fill-able PDF, it allows for the box to grow and expand with the text involved, but once that is imported into Jotform, you loose that option and are bound to the field box that is already there because it uses the pdf to "drop" the info into my original form.

I don't need boxes, but have to have Date, Time, Person, Title*, Method*, Outcome*, and Notes (*= drop down for these 3), others are text since it seems I cannot have a date and or time field option within a Input Table properties (only Multiple for text, checkbox, etc)

thank you for any help.

Hello Angela,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Let me look into it and get back to you with a solution.

Hello Angela,

Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to use the input table to display the full text on the boxes. We highly recommend using Long text field for this or using a Configurable List.

You may create your own form without importing a Smart Fillable PDF. You can just use the PDF as a reference for the questions or fields that needs to be in the form. Furthermore, you may see this guide to help you on creating forms.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for the response back.
