- Scenario
- Reviewing and configuring multiple actions within the properties of a PDF form button.

Navigate the Fixed Button Properties Window
Since the dialog box cannot be resized natively in the software, you must use the built-in scrollbar to review all configured actions.
In Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, the Button Properties window is designed with a fixed dimension. This means you cannot drag the corners or edges to expand the window size. To view multiple actions, you must rely on the interface's vertical scrolling capabilities.
Right-click on the specific button field in your PDF form and select 'Properties' from the context menu.
Click on the 'Actions' tab located at the top of the Button Properties dialog box.
Use the vertical scrollbar located on the right side of the Actions list pane to scroll down and review all configured commands.

No, standard third-party plugins cannot alter the core UI framework of Adobe Acrobat to make fixed dialog boxes resizable.
Does this size limitation apply to text field properties as well?

How can I reduce the number of actions in the list?
Instead of adding multiple pre-defined actions one by one, you can use the 'Run a JavaScript' action to execute all necessary commands simultaneously using a single script.
