A form field to insert white space

Hi all,
I need to insert some white space (the number of these white space is depending to some condition) in a form field.
I show in my report a value and then I must complete this value with some white space to have finally a string with a fixed number of characters.
I have a form field with a value (<?VALUE?>) and then I would insert a new form field to show only some white space. I can not add these white space directly on the field form containing the value.
Thanks

I would like to validate the below expression against the data in the column \S.* What is this expression and where did you get it from?
I guess this pattern validates for non-whitespace characters. Anyone help me on this and explain what this pattern does?No in regular expression space is represented as [:space:]

Is it possible to insert white space that will track like other characters?

I'm working with Indesign CS3, and have a problem with white space, inserted as a special character - in this case, a sixth space, used for the space between initials of a cited author: A. B. White, or whatever. Between the point after A and the B, I've inserted sixth-spaces in each instance. But when the automatic tracking sets the text, those white spaces don't seem to be adjusted in the same way as the rest. So when a line is unusually tight, the space in question looks too large, and vice versa.
Is it possible - either in CS3 or, as a matter of interest, in CS4 or 5 - to insert white space that will track automatically as lines are adjusted?
Many thanks in advance...

Well, here's a classic:
1) Set some type in French. Use a thin space or a 1/6 space before punctuation. (That's what you are supposed to do in French - there's always a space before many kinds of punctuation.)
2) Hand off the file to someone else.
3) "Someone else" tracks the paragraph to -40 (without understanding that the paragraph is now barely legible).
If it's a fixed thin space, there is still a space in front of the punctuation. Due to the tracking abuse, it's now roughly the same size as a "normal" space-bar space. If it's not a fixed-width space, it has now disappeared. Tracking of -40 is ugly, but no space in front of punctuation in French is out-and-out wrong.

Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

Inserting white space after comma, full stop, etc...

Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

Hi,
I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9. I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically). For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906." I found this script that will not let users input special characters
if (!event.willCommit) {
event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces. Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
Thanks in advance!

From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
Hope this can help.

White space gets introduced in rich text

Hi,
We are rendering a form using Output service API. The form contains some fields with Rich text.
We are able to render rich text on the form but an extra white space gets introduced in the rich text sentences if the text contains Bold, Italics or Underlined letters without any space.
If either of the two formatting (Bold, Italics, Underline) is done to the letters of a sentence without any space, this problem arises.
We need to retain the Rich text formatting without any extra space being introduced. The form is a non-interactive form.
I have attached the screenshot for the same.
Please suggest a solution.

Hello,
Could you please check if "Sticky Footer" is enabled in File>Site properties?

Form Field Border

I have a black page with a form on it. My form fields are
dark gray (set in CSS).
When I view the page the form fields have a white border
round them.
How do I change the border from white to black or gray so it
cant be seen?
NB On other sites with a white background the forms have a
gray background, but I cant find where this is set either.
Any help much appreciated!

I'm talking about borders on form elements.

XSL processor adding white space

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent the XSL processor from inserting
white space as this can affect HTML table layout & other
things.
For example.
XSL contains the following: (On one line)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066"><img
src="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1"/></td>
is converted to (Three lines)
<td colspan="2" bgcolor="#000066">
<img rc="/images/global_spacer01.gif"/ width="1" height="1">
</td>

Adding white space in a form field

Hello all,
anyone know if it is possible to add whitespace in a form field.
I have an IF like this ....
<?if:WORKSITE_ADDRESS2=''?>
<?WORKSITE_ADDRESS3?> <?WORKSITE_ADDRESS4?> <?end if?>
I need a space to appear in between WORKSITE_ADDRESS3 and WORKSITE_ADDRESS4.
I can not figure out how to do that ? is it possible ? the results I get are that
the two values are shown with no space in between. Do I have to use separate form fields?
Thanks

Hi,
I hit the same issue a while back, the workaround is to use the CDATA tag. See the below post:
Form fields stripping SPACE characters from IF statement

How to set white spaces between the fields in dataset??

Hi all,
I am writing a set on information to from infotypes to a text file. Its a fixed width file. How do set white spaces in the fields for dataset?
Example:
TYPES: begin of header,
                filler(40) type c,
                id(3)        type c,
                filler2(7) type c,
                delimiter type c,
             end of header.
DATA header type header.
header-filler1 = ' '.
header-id       = '100'.
header-filler2 = ' '.
header-delimiter = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.   ( do it to get a new line)
my_table = header.
append my_table.
DATA: out_file(256) type C,
      codepage_ref type ref to CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE,
      out_char type c,
      size type i,
      insert_string type string,
      insert_size type i.
out_file = filename.
open dataset out_file for output in text mode ENCODING NON-UNICODE.
LOOP AT my_table.
    size = strlen( my_table ).
    insert_string = ''.
    DO size TIMES.
      offset = sy-index - 1.
      try.
          out_char = my_table+offset(1).
          IF out_char = SPACE.
            CONCATENATE insert_string '' INTO insert_string SEPARATED BY SPACE.
          ELSE.
            CONCATENATE insert_string out_char INTO insert_string.
            transfer insert_string to out_file NO END OF LINE .
            insert_string = ''.
          ENDIF.
        catch CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE.
          insert_size = strlen( insert_string ) - 1.
          insert_string = insert_string(insert_size).
      endtry.
    ENDDO.
   transfer CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE TO out_file NO END OF LINE.
ENDLOOP.
close dataset out_file.
How do I get to insert the space for filler1 and filler2?

problem lies in the open dataset codes
Used:
open dataset out_file for output in text mode encoding non-unicode message msg.
if sy-subrc= 0.
loop at my_table.
transfer my_table to out_file
transfer cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline to out_file no end of line.
endloop.

White space after flowed layout/expandable fields?

Hi,
I have a few pages on a form with a flowed layout where the text fields expand.The problem I am having is when the text field expans and continues on the following page,its leazing an entire white space right after it.Is there a way to do this so eventhough the text field expands onto the next page,the content on the next page continues right after the expanded field without a page of white space?
Thanks.

Hi,
You need to check Allow page breaks within content option for the subform. Object > Subform > Allow page breaks within content.
By default even for the field this option would be checked if it is not You need to do samething even for the field.
This would work.

White Space After Form

I have a Salesforce form embeded into two pages on my website. Both pages have extra white space at the bottom and I can't decrease the height of the embedded HTML form in order to bring the footer up. Both forms can be found here: http://www.beck-technology.com/form.html and http://www.beck-technology.com/student_form.html.
Any ideas on how to decrease the white space?

Hello,
If you have removed the fields from the form, then you need to go to another state of the form and re-place the status message as well, to be able to shrink the form's frame. More details can be found here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5240984#5240984

Form widget white space

I am creating a form and the submit button sits way below the last data entry field.

You should be able to select the button and drag it to where you want it?

Inserting Form Fields in Pages Document

Does anyone know if it is poossible to insert a form field into a pages document just like what can be done is a Word document? I would like the ability to develop a template that has some drop-down menus throughout the document (for different variables) so I can reuse the template in various scenarios by simply selecting the appropriate info from each menu.
Example:
"Your time horizon is Menu Choice (drop-down with: 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, greater than 10 years).
I'll I've been able to find is the mail merge feature. But I'm not looking to merge data from my contacts.

No you can't lock the document. If you even lock the textboxes you can't type into them.
I'm a supposed expert (I use countless DTP apps) and I don't find Pages easy at all. In fact for many tasks it is quite a kludge.
But the templates are nice.

Acrobat form field that allows Reader user to browse and insert a picture into a predefined area

Is there a way to do insert a form field into an AcroForm that allow Reader users to browse and insert a picture into that form field?
I know that LiveCycle can do this, but I need to do this using an AcroForm. Or maybe there's a third-party plug-in that can be used in an AcroForm to do this?

Jay,
The new version of Reader, which was announced today (see AcrobatUsers.com), will now allow you to use the field.buttonImportIcon method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.737.html
For a bit more information, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823
Here's the minimum code that can be used in the Mouse Up event of a button that's configured with a layout that's something other than "Label only":
// Mouse Up script for a button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
Since this isn't backwards compatible with Reader, you'll probably want to add additional code to test what version is being used and alert the user if it's pre-11. You should also check the return value to see if anything went wrong. The hard part is getting everyone to upgrade, but this and a number of other features should make it worth it.
