Multiple text fields in Print Module

Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

  • Text fields in Print Module

    I was really hoping to see the ability to add text fields in the Print module.  In my work, I frequently need to add captions or titles to the prints.  At the moment, I have to round trip to Photoshop to make this happen.  I also make folios (see Brooks Jensen) where that require such captions.  Thanks.

    I could see that being useful too.  As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked?  If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request.  If you search there, you may even find similar requests that you might like to add your vote to.

  • Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

    Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
    TextField1.rawValue
    After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
    DropDownList1.clearItems()
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
    DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
    And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
    DropDownList3.clearItems()
    DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
    DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
    Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

  • Reg Query For Multiple Text Fields

    Hi all
    I am New to this forum..
    I am developing an application for generating reports.
    In my application i have multiple text fields.
    The user might enter any of the textfields or even enter all the fields.
    In those cases how to use the query when some fields are empty??

    Welcome to the forum.
    It always helps to post a small, simplified example of what it is you're trying to achieve.
    (When posting examples, put the {noformat}{noformat} tag before and after the example, so it will get posted formatted on this forum.)
    In those cases how to use the query when some fields are empty??If your textfields serve as parameters/bind variables for you query, then you could use NVL.
    Something like:select ...
    from some_table
    where col1 = nvl(p_col1, col1)
    and col2 = nvl(p_col2, col2)
    And how about wildcards (the '%' or '_' sign), by the way? Are they allowed as well?

  • Print just what is typed in the text field without printing the text fields

    Hello,
    I'm trying to print a form after I filled in the text fields, but would like it to print just what I typed in the field, not the text field and the color in the text field. I use CS3.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello Teddy and wellcome to the group!
    If you want to change fonts or other things then you might need to use the PrePrint method. What I normally do is select PrePrint from the "Show" section in the Script Editor (If you do not have it go to the toolbar at the top, Windows, and select Script Editor). After you select PrePrint you can now either type the name of the subform and field you want to change (or you can put your cursor in the Scripting Dialog box, hold CTRL and then select the field with your mouse) and then type in the JS to change the font. it is something like TextField1.fillcolor = "255, 255, 255"; (that changes the background fill to white). You can also replace fillcolor with font or border to change the color of the font or the border. I put a link to an Adobe website that goes over JS color changes below. You just need to add a PrePrint method for each field that you wish to remove the necessary highlighting on. Then once the user either hits a Print button that you have on the form or uses CTRL+P to print the form it will remove any highlighting.
    Now On the Text Field not printing itself that I am not sure what you are asking for. Are you asking for the caption not to print or for there not to be a box around the data that is entered? If you do not want to have a box surround the text field that is in the Object section of the field (see image below). You just need to select None if you just want the text. If you want to change that with JS I put another link below that has the code to change the border color to white and the user cannot see it. If you do not want the caption to print the only method is to delete the caption from the text field and replace it with static text that can be hidden, but I am assuming that is not what you are talking about (correct me if I am wrong though).

  • Help me format text overlay in print module

    I would like to print my photos with Caption field on one line and Date field on the next line. I would also like to change the font to something else. This is easily done in the slideshow module, just make two text overlays, position them where desired, pick a font and all done. Is it possible to do in the print module though? It seems as though only one overlay can be done. This is fine if I can force a line break, but I cannot seem to figure that out. Ctrl-Enter fails to work as does putting in the html code for a line break. I also cannot figure out if it's possible to change the font of the text overlay in the print module. Is what I wish to do possible? If so, how do I accomplish it? Many thanks!
    Bonus points if it's possible to right justify and to bold the Caption field but leave the Date field in regular typeface.
    I've also attempted this with the Identity Plate; it has all the formatting options I need, but it does not appear as though metadata can be displayed there, am I wrong?

    Hopefully this will be improved drastically in the final release of version 2. In an earlier thread, I asked about printing that used to work in Lr 1.2 and stopped working in Lr 1.3. An Adobe engineer replied it was a known bug. I am also a pro photographer and love Lightroom. jc

  • More text options in Print Module

    It's frustrating to be able to do just about everything in LR - but not quite.  I'd like more text options for the printing module.  For example, when I'm printing a limited edition print, I put the edition number in the bottom left corner, under the image, within the border of the print.  The title goes in the middle, slighty larger font, and then possibly a watermark.
    I can use the Identity Plate to create a nice looking title, but the Photo Info will only print in the middle with no options for positioning it anywhere else, or no options for other fonts.

    I would second this proposal..... with a serious passion.  I think it is unbelievable that Adobe will not provide us with the option to print the metadata with our images.
    The current metadata print options are in the dark ages, a joke and an insult to anyone trying to put a proper caption on a printed image.  For example, one cannot currently control the postion or font of a basic caption, never mind a considered template which might incorporate copyright, date, author, etc..   I also make folios (ala Lenswork).  Unfortunately, a detour to PS also means that this must be done manually, rather than using a template.  Adobe have all the tools to make this work, many of them are in the Slideshow module, so already the code is inside Lightroom.   It is so sad that a company like Blurb can provide these tools free of charge in free software, but Adobe seem incapable of providing these basic features.  I was disappointed they were not in version 1, frustrated when missing from version 2 and  apoplectic when not in version 3. I might excuse the omission if I could build a template in PS which allowed me to place text from the metadata into a formattted page layout, but this is not possible either. So despite the fact I have purchased both Lightroom and Photoshop, and paid for upgrade after upgrade of both products, this basic facility is still missing.
    I can only deduce that people in Adobe print images in two modes.
    1) a lonely image in approx middle of the page with no text formatting or
    2) an image in draft mode with a caption and a name plate and uncontolled other text in ad hoc placements (totally unsuitable for presenting to a client).
    I would put this requirement ahead of so many other popular requests (even ahead of requests such as networked storage, soft proofing, etc).  I can mention other software products who do a really good job of printing meta data with images, do serious work on sharpening, etc. for a fraction of the cost of the Lightroom / Photoshop combination. Becasue I am on an Adobe site I will not mention the names of these non Adobe products. If these small companies can solve this problem, surely Adobe can do so as well.
    I also find that I cannot trust the page setup templates that I do create. It seems to me that many of the properties (ie page size, orientation, matt / gloss options) disappear without warning.  I suspect this happens when I have problems printing to networked Epson printers (maybe others, but I only use Epson ...with Windows 7.)  This is very frustrating when my template changes from Matt in to Gloss, with subsequent wasted of ink and frustration and lost time in correcting and re-updating the template.
    Adobe, please finish the Print Module.  I do not want any more glitzy updates to publishing to the most recent social media exchange medium. Can we not get basic printing working first.
    (..... thanks for listening.....end of rant).

  • Expanding text fields for printing

    I have created my first form and saved it as a pdf.  in general it looks good but even though the text fields are expandable and grow I can't see all of the text once the form is printed.  What can I do? Is there a setting somewhere I am not aware of? 
    Help!!

    Hi;
    In the PDF you download from the "Distribute" tab that users fill out the text areas don't "expand" but they scroll to accomodate the text.    In PDF in general printing will not print the entire multi-line text fields, however, we made an enhancement in the "Response PDF" that you can downoad.  If you go to the "View Responses" tab and "Download response as PDF" you will get a PDF of the form with the users responses, in this PDF the multi-line text boxes are all expanded to fit the text so that when you go to print this PDF it will print the entire response text.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Text & Graphic from Print Module

    I bought Lightroom to help grow my Events business, we print on the night, we have an Awards night to shoot soon.
    We would like to have a graphic (Logo) and Text naming the type of Award.
    Would somebody please help and explain how to achieve this.
    As I understand how the Print Module works, It's one or the other. I know that I could use the Watermark function to add the text, but this would be OVER the image.
    Is there a way to design the template then import to LR? I cannot see a way in PS!
    Any help or advice would be great .
    Thanks.

  • Better captioning and text handling in print module

    I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I would like to see a bit more sophisticated text handling for captioning in the Print module.  It sure would be nice to be able to choose a font, position the text, choose a color, add a drop shadow, etc.  Nothing too crazy, but photo captions are a pretty important part of some photographers' workflow, and as of now I have to move between PS and LR to get any kind of nice text on the page, which interrupts the LR workflow.  I'd love to do almost all my work in LR and only use PS for the real heavy pixel lifting.
    Thanks for a great product!

  • Multiple text fields on the same line

    Hi
    Is it possible to have multiple text boxes on the same form line?  I'm trying to replicate a form I've created usng Acrobat X Pro but can't seem to figure how to do it with FormsCentral?
    Apologise if I'm missing something obvious!

    We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
    Give it a try and send us your feedback.

  • Dropdown filling multiple texts fields

    Completely new to live cycle. I've designed a form that I finally successfully linked with a XML datasheet. I can easily incorporate the texts fields that my sheet is generating. Now what I want to do is turn one of those fields (PRODUCTS) in a dropdown so when the user selects a product, all the other text fields are filled with that line of the datasheet (DATE, PRICE, DESCRIPTION etc...). I have to work with xml cause the database of the products is constantly updated on an excel spreadsheet. I badly need help!
    PS: I succesfully created the dropdown wich links correctly with the XML data, but all the other fileds simply show the first line of the sheet, or multiple lines in the same field...
    Thanks in advance!
    Nicolas

    Paul,
    Thank you so much, that solved my problem (with a little bit of tweaking to your code). I had to pull the Value from the Dropdown List instead of the text because the text is not unqiue in our database.
    One simple question...Is it possible to display more than one field within the Dropdown List? For example, can I place the Company Name and the Contact name at the Company within the Dropdown list? This reason for needing this is that we service customers that have multiple locations and it'd be easier for the Service Techs to pick the correct customer if the Company Name and Contact were in the Dropdown List.
    One last harder question....Is there an easy way to sort the data displayed within the Dropdown list? I do not have the option of selecting "Sort Ascending"...Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again,
    SSCLadam

  • Can you scroll multiple text fields with 1 UIscrollbar component?

    I have been poking around on the internet trying to find out a way to do this on flash using AS2.0 but have had no luck. Is it even possible?!
    or is there another way of achieving a similar affect?
    I have XML data being pulled from an array of attributes that get listed in there own text field or column basically.
    Attribute1(text1)
    Attribute2(text2)
    Attribute3(text3)
    item1
    item2
    item3
    item4
    location1
    location2
    location3
    location4
    date1
    date2
    date3
    date4
    Above is how the data gets displayed in the 3 different text boxes... each item is associated to a location and a date and i need to be able to scroll down through the items but have the locations and dates stay inline with the specific item.
    Any suggestions would be great!
    Thanks in advance.

    i don't have a clue about the XML (I'm still in embryo stage on that one at one-half a tutorial) BUT,
    to connect without commas, you can do something like this. My array name was aHiragana (japanese letters)
    var sHiragana:String = aHiragana.join(""); //kills the comma
    words.text = sHiragana.toString(); //works, note "s" not "a" infront of Hiragana.
    no idea if this is compatible with XML.

  • Split imported XML data into multiple text fields

    I should first describe my final project because it is very possible that I am going about this entirely wrong!
    I am trying to create an interactive PDF file which is the floor plan of our office, when you mouse over the office spaces it would popup the info for the person in that office, in fact when you click on the office space it would show additional info like computer MAC and jack numbers
    I placed the floor plan as a layer and them created a second layer with no fill/no stroke rectangles over the offices and made them buttons (office01, office02)
    I then made text fields with the info for the people, one for regular info and one for extra info (office01-data, office01-Xdata) I made these text fields buttons as well and had them "hidden until triggered"
    These info fields are all on top of one another, as in the are all the same size and in teh same location
    Then I went to the office buttons and created events "On Roll Over" "Show/Hide Buttons and Forms" and changed the visibility of the corresponding info button.
    This works like a charm!
    I hope I am clear up to this point.... my problem now is I would like to import this data both regular and extra from an excel spreadsheet or an XML file.
    That way when we get new staff or people move offices or whatever I can update the spreadsheet or XML file, rerun my InDesign file and create a new interactive PDF
    I have created the XML file
    <staffMap>
         <staff>
              <name>John Doe</name>
              <computerName<gfth56df</computerName>
              <phoneMAC>00:08:00:AB:CD:EF</phoneMAC>
         </staff>
    <staff>
              <name>John Smith</name>
              <computerName<gfth06cb</computerName>
              <phoneMAC>00:08:00:11:22:33</phoneMAC>
         </staff>
    </staffMap>
    Created a new InDesign document
    Imported the XML and placed it in a text field
    saved as a template and closed it
    Reopen and import the XML data again... and it brings it all into the text field... wonderful and useful but not what I need.
    Is it possible to import the XML data into separate test fields, or into some other separate field that I can make into a button and show/hide?
    I may end up just entering all the data directly into InDesign as I know this will work, it just does not seem like the right way to do it.
    Thanking you all in advance 

    I am still looking to get some help with this.
    I would love to know if it is not possible or any ideas at all
