I have a page which contains objects that resize depending on the amount of text inside them.

Each of these pages have a question page and associated answer page. The question page should have exactly the same boxes, but not contain the answer text.

I cannot remove the text as the box resizes to a smaller size. I assume that if I make the text white then someone could simply highlight it in a PDF.

What you have there is a text box setting which automatically enlarges or squeezes the box vertically depending on the amount of text. This means when you delete your text the box automatically shrinks in height. To turn this feature off:


Select your text box.
Press CTRL+B or the Mac equivalent shortcut. This should open the Text Frame Options dialog.
Go to the Auto-Size tab and turn it off.
