Found "the trick."
You have to not only identify the border as a solid line in the Appearance
tab but deselect all of the default options in the Options tab. Then the
check box and character limit for a Comb will be available and you can
create it.
Cheers, Karen

Nope, PowerPDF has the Comb settings unavailable too.
There must be a "trick" to setting this? I've never had to do this before so
am baffled as to why this setting is not available.

Subject: [WebAIM] PDF Forms - Can't get the Comb setting to work
Hi Everyone:
I've looked online and can't find any useful information on why the ability
to create a text form control as a comb with a character limit is not
available in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. The one offering was to put a border
around the text form control and then identify the form control as a comb in
the Options tab.but even doing that, the comb settings in the Options tab
for a text form control is not available.
I've tried checking and unchecking things but I just can't identify the text
form control as a Comb with a limit of characters.
Am using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC with all updates
installed.
Am now going to check PowerPDF in case I can set this there, but it is
strange that I can't do this in Acrobat.
Any ideas? Help?
Cheers, Karen
