Hello!
I was wondering how do I get text to be vertical in a Editable PDF?
In the example below, I have participant 1 name on the PDF that is highlighted I want that name to show up vertical instead of horizontal how would I go about doing this?

Hi Krehely,
Currently, Jotform's PDF Editor does not support rotating text vertically within a text field. Text in editable PDF fields is displayed horizontally by default, and there is no built-in feature to change the orientation to vertical.
The workaround is to make the mapped box slimmer so it forces you to have 1 letter per line as shown below:
Here's a sample result:Note that for some letters like small I and L, and other letters that take up small spaces, they may be combined in one line, up to two letters per line, using the slimmest box.
Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
