Multiline pdf text box

I am trying to create a multiline text field , however on doing this the text doesn't fit within the lines that are present in the form design. text overlaps line

Now one solution is to increase the font size , I have tried that and it doesn't really solve it.

This is a government form that works fine when you download from their site and open in adobe reader. ( and they have even smaller font ). See image below.

original form works fine

I am using adobe acrobat pro dc , Build: 18.11.20055.290043 , and I don't see an option to control line height for a multiline field.

Interestingly enough , even the government form above that works fine upon downloading , has the same line overlapping problem if type text within chrome using the adobe reader plugin.

How can I adjust the line height ?? I read somewhere to set paragraph line spacing in text field properties , but I do not see this option anywhere.

Set the field to Allow Rich Text Formatting then while in the field, show the properties bar. enter image description here

From there click the "More" button to get the text field properties dialog, select Paragraph and then use the Line Spacing drop down.

You can also set these properties programmatically by creating a JSON representation of the rich content and then setting the field.richContent property.
