Rich Text Field in HTML

I need to design an xdp form that can be rendered in HTML and which allows the user to format text field content. I created a text field control with data format of xhtml. In Adobe Acrobat Professional I can use CNTRL-E to open the "Form Field Text Properties" toolbar. Will this work in the web browser when the form is rendered as HTML?
Also, is it possible to insert a hyperlink into a rich text field when rendered as HTML or PDF? Are hyperlinks even supported in text fields of forms designed using LiveCycle?

hi
another way to do it is to specify RenderFormat property of Content by search web part (it is not available from UI, only programmatically or declaratively):
<property name="RenderFormat" type="string"><Format Type="HTML" /></property>
Format is very important and it should be exactly like shown above. Check the following post for details:

MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Email - Enhanced Rich Text Field look-up values on HTML email have large spaces

MS InfoPath 2010 form with RTF (Rich Text Fields)
MS SharePoint 2010 Custom Library
MS SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow Send Email
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-designer-help/send-e-mail-in-a-workflow-HA010239042.aspx
https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
EXAMPLE
we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
Please test this in your enviroment
<table>
<tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Created:</td><td>[%Current Item:Created%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes3%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Modified by:</td><td>[%Current Item:ModifiedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes4%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Modified:</td><td>[%Current Item:Modified%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes5%]</td></tr>
</table>
I could not update the question below to the proper forum section. that is why i am asking again.

Hi IssackB,
perhaps you may try this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f8fa2a11-9f74-4dd2-b277-21ce872fdcb2/can-we-add-rich-text-editor-to-the-sharepoint-designer-2010-workflow?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
in the control.
NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
space in the RTF file.
Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
space between the controls is converted to whole lines
in the RTF file. For example, a
space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
RTF file.
Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
in the RTF file.
Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
in different rows, causing extra blank
spacein the RTF file.
and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us

Caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field

hi friends
i am using below caml query to retrieve data from title field and Rich text field(Definition)
<View>
<Query>
<Where>
<And>
<Or>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name=\'Title\'/>
<Value Type=\'Text\'>'+letter+'</Value>
</Eq>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name=\'Definition\' />
<Value Type=\'Note\'>'+letter+'</Value>
</Contains>
</Or>
<Neq>
<FieldRef Name=\'status\' />
<Value Type=\'Text\'>Not approved</Value>
</Neq>
</And>
</Where>
<OrderBy><FieldRef Name=\'Title\' /></OrderBy>
</Query>
</View>
this query is working fine. But it is retrieving some extra fields also which doesn't have the queried string. and even it is retrieving keyword from image urls which are present in rich text field.
Please help me to retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use caml query to retrive keyword from rich text field
By design, when specifying a ViewFields clause, values for these fields are returned, together with a few system columns like ID, Created and Modified.
If you query rich text field, it will return the field with HTML tags.
To retrieve key word from plain text of rich text field, you need to use regular expression to remove the HTML tags.
You can use the code below:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sitename"))
using (SPWeb spWeb = site.OpenWeb())
SPList spList = spWeb.Lists.TryGetList("ListName");
SPQuery qry = new SPQuery();
if (spList != null)
qry.Query =
@" <Where>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />
<Value Type='Note'>caml</Value>
</Contains>
</Where>";
qry.ViewFields = @"<FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Rich_x0020_Text' />";
SPListItemCollection listItems = spList.GetItems(qry);
foreach (SPListItem item in listItems)
string src = item["Rich_x0020_Text"].ToString();
Regex htmlReg = new Regex(@"<[^>]+>", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
src = htmlReg.Replace(src, string.Empty);
Console.WriteLine(src);
Console.ReadKey();
The result is as below:

InfoPath form, rich text fields, "There was a form postback error" InvalidOperationException, There has been an error while processing the form

Using InfoPath 2013 browser enabled form.
I am getting the above error on ALL Infopath Designed Rich Text fields, where the "Cannot be blank" attribute is set.
To reproduce it, I create a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I add 2 Rich Text fields and enable "cannot be blank". To raise the error, I put some data in the RT field. Skip to another field (so focus is changed and a postback
occurs), then back to original field to delete the contents (to raise the validation).
I originally thought it was associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered (and I have re-registered it just in case), but the exception I get from the ULS logs reads (it is from a list AFTER I have re-registered the DLL):
There was a form postback error. (User: 0#.w|myDomain\jc, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request: h t t p ://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/Item/newifs.aspx?List=2212ff41-77b4-445b-931b-d7e538c9da91&Source=h t t p://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/AllItems.aspx&RootFolder=&Web=3db49106-bdca-47bb-b4cd-a549d2d86aa7,
Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:list:-AutoGen-2015-01-16T21:51:48:853Z, Type: InvalidOperationException, Exception Message: No content generated as the result of the operation.) 8cc5e09c-3665-903b-575a-faaac506c40a
I noticed that errors associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered would have some sort of COM exception (example: TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED or REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
I also should mention that this problem started happening about 3 weeks ago. We have extended the web application to handle HTTPS on the intranet zone (we had a reverse proxy project that did not eventuate) - would that cause something? How can I do further
checking?

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint, and I met the same issue with you.
I created a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I added 2 Rich Text fields and enabled "cannot be blank". I put some content in the RT field, then delete the contents, I got the error message:"there has been an
error while processing the form."
Here is a similar post said that executing the command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
OFFICE14\htmlchkr.dll" will solve the issue.

But I just disabled "cannot be blank", and it solved the issue.

Rich text field will not show proper font attributes! (Bug? - RTF OTF font handling)

I created two text form fields (rich text)...
In Windows 7, Write program (using it to format the rich text content)... I edited my two lines.
Line one: mix of two font sizes and a few attribute changes... pasted into the first text field perfectly.
Line two: similar to the above... pasted into the second text field but the font is appearing in bold! It is not bold in the source, nor is it preset in the text field properties! I even pasted it back into Write AND Word and it pastes as I intended it.
Why is Adobe doing this? I even tried to toggle >Text Style > bold on/off, clear formatting... these functions do not work!
If I bring up the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), bold is toggled on but I cannot toggle it off, I can add underline, I can change the font size.
UPDATE: It seems that Adobe Acrobat is NOT reading the OTF font correctly! If I change to a different font, in the same family, the problem changes from set on bold to set on italics!
It is specifically related to the font I am using but is ONLY a problem when using Rich Text fields. In other words, the entire font family works perfectly if I inserted a text box or use the font family in any other Adobe product.
I have submitted a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&loc=en

Another possibly revealing clue is that when I go to Text Field Properties > Appearance tab > Text / Font, I see the entire family of this particular font. However, when editing the text in the properties toolbar (Ctrl-E), only a small sub-set of this font family appears and the attributes behave in an odd manner. Example: normal font appears as italics but if I switch on BOLD, the italic attribute is gone... and other strange attribute problems.

Rich text fields, field locking, and form saving/re-opening

I have a LiveCycle form that has 2 text fields (email and info) and a button. When the button is pressed, the 2 text fields are set readonly and the button is set hidden. A rich text field is populated to provide a mailto link using the email and info text fields:
form1.firstpage.HyperlinkSF.rtField.value.exData.loadXML(sRichText, false, true);
This appears to work fine, but when I save the form and re-open it, the readonly fields are now editable and the button has re-appeared. If I remove the functionality associated with the rich text hyperlink, the form correctly re-opens with the readonly fields set readonly and the button is not visible.
Any idea why populating a rich text field is affecting the form state on saving/re-opening?

Thank you Bruce for your very helpful links.
I see that I had incorrectly formed the rich text body tag. I had omitted:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"
I had also been unable to get the &body= of the mailto working, and see that I should have had & as in:
var sURL = "mailto:" + sTo + "?subject=" + sSubject + "\&body=" + sBody;
All appears to work as expected. Great links. Thanks!

Filling in Rich Text fields in PDF

Is it possible to fill in RichText fields in a PDF from Coldfusion? I need to have certain words bolded, etc. I created the form in liveCycle and the field in question has Rich Text selected Field and Data format. When I assign data to the field through ColdFusion, the text is always just plain text. Any ideas?

everything works fine - except aligning the RTF with the other field look ups. our email has an HTML table where we have plain text fields, date fields, and RTF - I need with INLINE CSS STYLE code since remote CSS or any type of CSS does not work only INLINE
CSS worsk on SP WorkFlow Emails
EXAMPLE: you can create a Workflow Variable that has a simple HTML table, and when SP workflow sends the email the values in the cells do not line up, if the RFT values are blank from the InfoPath form the email table looks greate, as soon as you type any
value in the InfoPath form RFT the email does not line up to the any of the other html cell text or other Look up values to the InfoPath form.

Difficulty creating rich text fields with autoresizing text on my mac (Mavericks?)

I'm a new user so I could be making a simple error, but here goes:
I'm trying to make the text fields in a pdf form be rich text with the font autoresizing as needed, but these setting seem not to save when I do this on my new mac desktop. When I open the same file on my iPad, the field appears to have the rich text setting preserved and resizes text as necessary; this also isn't a problem on my work commuter (PC with windows)*. It's very weird; I change the option settings to allow rich text and uncheck line scrolling, then lock the changes, then try to input text and the settings appear not to have taken effect. When I reopen form editing, the old settings (multiple lines, scrolling) are checked again even though I locked it. Hopefully someone out there knows why this might be happening?
*When I email the iPad pdf file to myself and open on mac, the text seems to "autocorrect" the form field text back to multiple lines/scrolling, and looks terrible.

I suppose a possible solution is if there's a way to add the text form fields in Illustrator... or if there's a way to add an invisible marker (besides adding a rule line) that Acrobat will automatically read as a text field location?

How to set one fixed folder to save rich content of rich text field in sharepoint list

hi friends
i have rich test filed in SharePoint list
if user wants add picture to rich text filed from insert option it is asking to save file in existing document libraries it is showing all libraries.
what i need is how can we fix one particular document library to save all this file from rich text filed.

To my best knowledge, the only basic way to input picture in SharePoint Rich Text Editor (RTE) can be finished in two steps. One, upload it to you computer and then insert it URL to RTE. This works fine if I insert few of them.
Use SharePoint Rich Text Boost, which can let user insert images and Flash directly.

Create the table in the rich text field

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with the copy paste of a table with content on to the textbox with rich text format from the word document in adobe livecycle designer.Like if you paste the table in the rich textbox , the border of the table will get collapsed and only the content will be pasted.So how can we avoid the collapsing of the table border.
Here is the exact explanation of the problem
step1: Drag and drop the textbox and check the allow multiple lines checkbox and increase the size of the textbox as shown. Change the field format to rich text.
step2:Now copy a table with some content from the word doc.
step3:And paste it to that textbox field in preview PDF window.
Here you can see the whole table structure got collapsed.
so how we can get the whole table structure with the rich textbox??
Thanks

And the next question would be: What tags does it support?
Answer: LiveCycle supports a subset of XHTML. This subset is outlined in section 27 (Rich Text Reference) of the Adobe XML forms specification document found on the Adobe Developer XFA Resources page.

Caml query with rich text field

Hi All
I have to search a list and display the results based on key words or a line of text from "Title" or "Body" fields i have written my query as follows but some times even if the sentence is present in the Body field its not returning
the result because body is stored as html .Is there any way to get the results . i have seen posts where they are doing a for-each and stripping the html using regular expression and check for contains . i don't want to use for-each as it will have performance
impact in my case in future as the list will have huge number of records .
return string.Format(@"<Where><Or><Contains><FieldRef Name='Title' /><Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value></Contains><Contains><FieldRef Name='Body' /><Value Type='Note'>{0}</Value></Contains></Or></Where> <OrderBy> <FieldRef Name='{1}' Ascending='{2}' /></OrderBy>", text, orderBy, sorting);

Hi,
We can use this:
<Where>
<Or>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">{0}</Value>
</Contains>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name="Body" />
<Value Type="Note">{1}</Value>
</Contains>
</Or>
</Where>
Value Type used in SPQuery
Single line of text--Text
Multiple lines of text--Note
Choice (menu to choose from)--Choice
Number (1, 1.0, 100)--Number
Date and Time--DateTime
Lookup (information already on this site)--Lookup/LookupMulti

How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Print PDF rich text editor using BI Publisher

Hi !
I have a CLOB field from database, and I store data using a rich text editor, like a MS Word system, here as you know, I can write words in bold format, use differents kind of colors, etc... and use all formatted text that the editor allow me. I haven't problems once save this data into table and restore again, I can see all this data formatted , and I don't loose any property of this formatted text.
The problem is when I want print this information in the same way that I can see in the rich text editor. I use BI Publisher for generate a PDF, when I send this field for print a PDF, the PDF that BI publisher generate, print only text, prints all characters including generating that text is formatted, for example, if the field is written in bold print "<b>hello</b>" in the PDF generated by BI Publisher see "< b. > hello < / b>".
Please which is the way for print the same as is displayed in the rich text editor?
Thanks in advance.

Bump Again. I understand how to remove the HTML tags, thats not a problem. The problem is getting the report to print the data from a Rich Text Field stored in a CLOB or NCLOB as formatted text. Is there a "Master Style Template" or "Master Rich Text Field Subtemplate"?

Rich text

sir,
Many customers continue to demand the ability to enter rich text in form fields (i.e. bold, underline, font, size, color etc). I have seen in one article that it is possible this with Javabeans/Custom Java. Please give some examples in step by step for the implementation of bold, font size change etc. By using OLE, we can print only one page text. Please help me.

Suresh,
actually there is no native widget in Forms that allows you rich text handling. If using a Java Bean in Forms, then this wont work on client/server. The sample available is a bean that does render HTML in Forms, so that rich text defined by HTML tags shows correct. We are aware of this requirement and will keep an eye on it.
