Add line break in pdf

We have a form that users input
biliography information (name of book, pages, date published, etc) into a text area. they can input multiple articles at once in the text area. is there a way to intoduce a line break on the pdf in between each article? meaning can we tell the users to input something like a % in between articles and have then some how introduce a line break on the pdf for every %?

You can use the coldfusion replace function to replace any string with either an html break tag, or the appropriate chr functions, depending on how you are generating your line breaks.  That's the easy part.
The first hard part is to get 100% of your users to do what you want 100% of the time.
The second part is to figure out the difference between a  symbol, such as a percentage sign, that is supposed to indicate a line break as opposed to simply being part of the article.

  • Add line break in Configurator tool tip?

    Just started using the Configurator, what a great idea.
    My first attempts at tool tips often get lengthy.  If the width of the panel is not wide enough, resulting tips get truncated/munged.
    Is there a way to insert line breaks in tips so that they can be seen in total on a "skinny" panel?  Or is there another approach?

  • How to add line breaks to output fixed width flat file

    0
    I need to create a Flat file without column headers, no comma separated values but each column will have a fixed starting position and a fixed length in the text file. For example, below is the text file to be created with six columns
    Column1  Column2   Column3     Column4  Column5      Column6
    abc          1             New emp      xxxx         xxxx           
    xxx
    Fixed starting position and a fixed lenth values for these columns as are below;
    Column1 : Starting Position -1, Fixed Length -4
    Column2 : Starting Position - 8, Fixed Length - 2
    Column3 : Starting Postion - 11, Fixed Length - 10
    Column4 : Starting Position -1, Fixed Length -5
    Column5 : Starting Position - 10, Fixed Length - 2
    Column6 : Starting Postion - 15, Fixed Length - 5
    The out put file each line have only 20 characters length.First 3 columns comes in first line and 4-6 columns comes in 2nd line.
    OUTPUT FILE:
    1234   89  11121314151617181920
    12345    1011          151617181920

    BOL says that:
    The Fixed width with row delimiters option is not available in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor.
    If necessary, you can emulate this option in the editor. To emulate this option, on the General page of the Flat File Connection Manager
    Editor, for Format, select Ragged right. Then on the Advanced page
    of the editor, add a new dummy column as the final column of data.

    I don't think the "thick" character you're seeing is a new line, '
    ' (0x0A). It might be a carriage return, '
    ' (0x0D), some other control char, or possibly the combination "
    ", which is seen on Windows systems.
    How can I replace my usual
    to thinner
    1) Identify the unknown char(s);
    2) Use a method such as [stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:|http://developer.apple.com/ip hone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSStringClass/Reference/NSString.html#//appleref/occ/instm/NSString/stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:withString:] to insert '
    ' in place of each occurance of the char identified in step 1. E.g., if the char turns out to be a single carriage return:
    myLabel.text = [stringFromParser stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"
    " withString:@"
    Some ways to do step 1:
    Examine the raw xml;
    Loop through a string (e.g. label.text) and print the numeric code point of each char with NSLog();
    Format the output of gdb to print the code points (e.g. as hex). Here's a quick tutorial: [GDB Output Formats|http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gdb/gdb_55.html].
    Let us know if you need help interpreting the text obtained by any of these methods. For example, if the hex output from gdb doesn't make sense, just paste directly from your Console window into the forum so we can have a look at it.

  • Cftextarea pdf copy/paste line breaks

    When I copy and paste from a pdf into cftextarea using the Paste as Word or Paste as Plain Text features, it adds line breaks to each line.  Has anyone had experience with this and know how to remove those extra line breaks at the time of pasting the text?
    ColdFusion 8

    Thanks, CtDave for the response. To follow up on your comment I've discovered a few things from this thread:copying from pdf comes out in single column
    This problem primarily happens when exporting/saving a PDF using Apple's native PDF processor, "Quartz," meaning whenever you use iWorks Pages, MS Word for Mac, or save a PDF via the Print dialogue, it will result in a PDF that doesn't comply to the standards CtDave outlined (presumably). One can mitigate this problem by opening the PDF in Preview vs. Adobe Reader or Acrobat—copy and pasting should work if its all in the Apple universe.
    Obviously thats not practical if one intends on producing documents for the masses. Alternatively, creating documents in Indesign would mitigate that problem but that involves expertise outside of traditional word processing.
    Thats all I got for now.
    Thanks,

  • Adding line breaks in email messages created by forms

    I've used ADDT to create a feedback form, pulling through data from a databse.
    It generates the code :
    //WriteContent method
    $emailObj->setContent("First name : {firstname}Last name : {lastname}Tel : {tel}Email : {email}Comments : {comments}Preferred method of contact : {prefer}");
    How can I add line breaks in the email message? I've tried
    tags, but no joy.
    Cheers.

    I presume you said slash n there - that was it. Cheers.

  • How can I insert line breaks?

    In Pages for iPad the arrow that I used to use, which contained line breaks in its drop down box, has disappeared.  How can I add line breaks now?  Or where has it gone?

    I know this is a really small indent example but if you look to the right of "realm of" on the bottom of the 'top right' page there is space where the text in that line is no longer justified. By the way, in these circumstances, I have to click on insert page break twice - the first click does nothing.

  • Missing line breaks with Excel

    Hello,
      Am downloading certain into Excel using BSP. I am changing response mime type to "application/vnd.ms-excel" and am sending tab-demilited string as data.
      Some of the columns should contain line break within the cell( Mean the Alt-Enter in Excel cell ). I tried using the character code 10 and also 13 for the break. But it did not work.
      How do I cause a line-break in the Excel cell? Any work-arounds??
    Thanks.
    Srinivas.

    Hi Srinivas,
    I think you don't have the possibility to add line breaks into a tab seperated file. You rearly had to create an excel file. Unfortenately AFAIK this is not possible in ABAP. I've done this in PHP using the <a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer">Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer</a>.

  • Closed captioning line break

    Is there a way to add line breaks to the closed captioning within Captivate? I've been copying and pasting my text from Word and adding the line breaks there. But sometimes you just need a line break right way and don't want to use Word.

    Yes.  Open the Slide Properties for the slide containing the CC you wish to edit, then click on the Audio Tab.  Now, Click on the Closed Captions button and a new dialog box will open containing your CC text.  This is where you can control timing of your Closed Captions as well.
    Hope this helps!

  • Ttunes 12.0.1 line breaks

    Hi all,
      It is very important that I be able to insert line breaks in the comments section of a file in iTunes. To be specific I mean when you right click a file in iTunes and click on "Get Info" it brings up a box where you can enter id3 data about a song (Title, Artist, Album, Track Number, Comments, etc). Well, in the "Comments" section of that "Get Info" box, I need to add line breaks. This was acheivable in all other versions of iTunes by using "ctrl + Enter" (PC) or "alt+Shift+Enter" (Mac). However on the new version of iTunes 12.0.1 these methods of entering a line break do not work. Does anyone have a solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Just discovered that in Windows you can hold down shift while using right-click > Get Info (or File > Get Info) to get the old style dialog box. (It's alt on a Mac.)
    Again clunky but probably easier than my script.

            </h:form>

    Which form fields? In the code posted, I don't see where you have tried putting linebreaks.
    You can try putting the <BR> tags in f:verbatim tags. Like this:
    <f:verbatim><br /></f:verbatim>CowKing

  • Carriage Returns / Line Breaks & PDF

    I have a requirement to display a customers address in 1 column of a PDF report.
    The address is stored in the RPD as Address1, Address2, etc. etc.
    I use the answer of the question "Carriage Returns / Line Breaks" as a basic startup.
    ( Question Registered the 02/24/10 from user12673225 )
    I get a great result in the HTML report.
    But, when I print the report in PDF the HTML control codes appear in the PDF report.
    e.g.
    LTHEA A | P.O. BOX 877 *<br* | KY | VERNON A 100000479 |
    VERNON | /> GRAND...........|....|.............................|
    ...........| CAYMAN.............|....|.............................|
    ...........| KY1-1103 *<br*......|....|.............................|
    ...........| /> CAYMAN.........|....|.............................|
    ...........| ISLANDS.............|....|.............................|
    Presently I generate the report in HTML then I convert it in PDF format.
    Is there a way to print the report directly in PDF without the html control appearing in clear in the pdf file. Is is possible to do the job in one step only?
    Edited by: user9214078 on Feb 24, 2010 11:42 AM

    Hi Will,
    The [   instead of   <  does not work.
    The character "[" is not recognized as an HTLM control code.
    It worth the try.
    Thanks
    Gilles.
