Workaround

Scrollbars do not work with PDF writers such as PDFBox.

They are a feature rendered when manually editing fields. So here is the same form rendered in 3 different viewers, both in render mode and edit mode. Scroll bars are for data entry rather than display, so the fields should be tall enough to allow for printout, since that's what PDFs were originally designed for.

A related issue is that all readers may draw text boxes completely differently, so it's best to avoid using fields for multi-line input. There is no guarantee that 3 entries will be visible here. On average only 2 lines are printable/visible. Therefore, 3 single-line entries should be placed for the requirement of 3 entries.
