Hi everyone,
I didn't find any example yet to show you the feature but it is a common one in
Acrobat Pro.

No this is not what I'm looking for.

Let me give an example: on a pdf I created an e-mail address field (one line,
let's say 10cm max). Some people will have a short address (ex:
chewbacca at wook.ie) and some will have long addresses (ex:
anakin.skywalker at thedarkforce.vador).
To optimize the layout (before printing for example), I'd like to have a
confortable size of reading that will progressively decrease as the length of
the address increases and fills the 10cm reserved for it.

There is a thread about this feature (font size -> "auto") in Adobe Acrobat
here:
