Acrobat Forms - Capital Letters throughout

I have a form in which each field needs to be completed in capital letters, and wanted to force this through validation scripting - but I cannot work out how.
Can someone help me please?

Conversion.  The form is to be printed, and posted (very retro, I know), but if it is not completed in capital letters it becomes invalid.  So, I think conversion would be the most universal method.

  • My published Captivate 4 project has the tops of capital letters cut off

    I am using Captivate 4, on Windows 7.  My screen resolution is 1680x1050.
    When I publish my Captivate 4 project to Flash 9 HTML and view the published version, the tops of Capital letters are cut off in the text boxes.  I have resized and expanded the text boxes, and even tried moving them around, but no improvement.
    The font size in the text boxes is Arial 16, and Arial 12.
    What can I adjust so the text displays properly when published and the tops of the letters are not cut off?

    Hi there
    At any point along the way have you checked the DPI settings on your machine?
    Click Start > Run, type Desk.cpl into the dialog and press Enter
    Click the Settings tab
    Click the Advanced button
    Click the General tab (It's likely already there)
    Examine the DPI setting.
    Sometimes the DPI is set to something like 120 and it causes issues with captions. Setting to 96 often cures that.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Spell Checking Text with All Capital Letters

    Is it possible to change a spell check option in Adobe, like you can in MS Word, to include words in all capital letters? we have thousnads of documents that require all text to be all capitals and spend an appreciable amount of time spell checking by copying to MS Word to discover errors. No one I've talked to seems to have an answer.

    As I understand it the spell check in Acrobat is for text in annotations only.
    It does not check PDF page content..
    Such content needs to be spell/grammer checked before converting to PDF.
    Be well...

  • User input changes to capital letters after submit

    Hi,
    I have a button which saves the pdf form in portal.For some reason it is changing all my user inputs to capital letters.
    I have used pdfsource to store the pdf .
    I have used pdfsource and changed it to binary format
    SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY
    and then used this binary table and saved the same using following FM.
    CFX_API_DOC_DOCUMENT_WRITE

    You need to set the indicator "Lower case" at the domain of that field.
    You need go again regenrate the Table maintaianace to make this effective.

  • Help with complex Acrobat forms

    Hi Everyone,
    Background: I worked with another developer and completed a form for one of our clients but I need to know if the below change requests are even possible and if so if anyone would like to help with finishing the form. I am definitely willing to pay for an experts services as long as this can be done in a timely manner.
    What the form is - Our client wants a form that has text fields, drop down boxes and pages where images can be placed into the file and arrows drawn on it to point where the images are located on other images (some images are store layout maps). They would like to send this file out to their store managers, have them fill it in and then they would like the completed forms sent back so all of the information that was filled in (names, store names, addresses, square footage, etc) can be gathered into a database or excel file.
    What is completed so far
    - Cascading drop down boxes (user clicks on first drop down and whatever is selected changes the second drop down options, etc)
    - Most of the text fields for information gathering including city, state, store manager etc
    - Metric unit conversion boxes
    - Header text fields (read only) are used on several of the pages and are a combination of choices made in the drop down boxes and text fields.
    - Page footer info including page number
    - The over all layout of the pages is set
    Requested changes/additions
    Major must have:
    - Page Addition - There is a product page in the form (page 10) and the different stores will have a different number of these products to enter into the form so is there a way to add an ADD PAGE button on the page that when pressed will copy the product page to make a new product page? Now the product page has cascading drop down form fields on it so I would want to make sure the form fields are separate iterations of the form fields not just a duplicate of what was on the product page.
    - Footer adjustments - If we can do the above of adding pages then is it possible to at that point adjust the footer to reflect the page number changes? The footer shows the current page number then the form name and date.
    - Gather info - What is the best way to distribute these forms so that when returned completed the information can be gathered? I tried distributing via email which seems to work ok but the files might end up being too large for email so what is the best way to gather the completed info if say the files were ftp'd back?
    Minor:
    There are several minor change requests that I know are doable or that if not possible we can disregard. One that I am not sure about is if the color of the arrows in Acrobat can be changed from the default red?
    At first I was assuming that the Clients that get the forms needed Acrobat Standard or Pro 8 or 9 because I thought that the only way to add images was to use the Touch-Up Tool under advanced tools and right click to Place images. However I am pretty sure that if Reader Rights is enabled that images can be copy pasted into the file too if this is incorrect please let me know.
    If the above is not doable or if there is a better solution other than Acrobat forms to gather client information including allow the client to add images and place arrows then please let me know your thoughts.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and again id like to commission this out to anyone who is up for the challenge.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    Perhaps a better question is does anyone know a good developer?

  • How can I click Acrobat Form button from VB (Excel Macro)?

    I may be asking in the wrong forum, but I'm at my wit's end and think just about anyone with VB experience would be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is there a forum for interapplication/ VB/ forms questions?
    Suffice to say, I know very little about VB (or any of the other languages behind the software), but I've adapted code which has allowed me to get almost everything I need done, thus far.
    I'm trying, desperately, to finalize a Macro which enables me to export a lot of Excel info into individual Acrobat Forms and save them all independently. This all works fine, but there is one last thing I've not been able to accomplish: I need to remote click (or 'focus on') a button in the Acrobat form in order to select the icon button (dynamically set image relevant to each individual form, base on excel cell). The button's name, in Acrobat, is 'Photo1' and it is located on the 3rd page of the form. I've several SendKeys commands in order to save each file with a unique, row specific name.

    I'm pretty sure one of many issues is that I don't know the fully-qualified name of the field/button, or how to properly identify it in the Macro.
    I have no doubt that my approach, if it's even possible, is clumsy and unfounded, but I am (obviously) flailing around for anything that can achieve clicking this confounded button. Any help appreciated.

    It was a button option - I haven't got access to Acrobat 8 here at home, but it was something like
    Add menu item
    File - attach to email
    When the button was clicked, the email application would open with a new email and the PDF would be attached, so you could enter the recipients email address and send.

    For web and computing experts I would like to remind them that all the peoples nowadays have the same needs (or hobbies if you wish) regarding the electronic devices, web, compouters, softwares and that sort of thing.
    If I WERE not to have technical support because of my prefiously used capital letters in me text messages, I have to confess that next time I will be more carefull about the devices producers........ I live and always learn (SOCRATES, girasko, aei didaskomenos)
    Two questions
    1. I noticed on the you tube videos about the new ipad that the main icons are more than mine (i.e. the icon of facebook and a number or others are missing)
    2. I would like to ask you to do me a favour, thanks for your patiene. Still I have not understood how (in which way, the pictures, transfered from my system or new taken by the ipad camera are uploaded directly to the FaceBook. I suppose that I will not have the same difficulties regarding the videos to both Facebook AND YoutTube. Thanks a lot for your patience with me, from now on I will be more carefull about posting messages to you referring to technical support

    Some of the apps shown in adverts / videos have been downloaded from the App Store, they don't come pre-installed e.g. the Facebook app is a free download the app store : 'official' Facebook app.
    To upload photos to Facebook you can use the above app - you can't, for example, use Safari on the iPad to upload content to sites.
    Not sure whether any apps allow you to upload videos to YouTube (I don't use the site).

  • Acrobat Form - SAVE AS ONLY function?

    I'm making forms in Acrobat that multiple users will be accessing. Is there a way to set a SAVE AS feature so that the user can only save a copy of the form, not save over the original?

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms

  • Acrobat Form Discount

    Hey ladies and germs.

    I put a check box in front of each price. If you clicked that particular box it would autofill the total.  so if you click the 9 it would give the total as 675. (9x75) in the Total1 area.     Then at the bottom of the form it has an Ad Total, if someone were to purchase different size ads and placements.  The ad total, was or is the the sum of total1 thru total3 or how ever many I have. I think I have something like 12.
    Now I would like to put in a check box that if clicked will give a 20% discount to the Ad total box and show the new price..  If it isnt clicked than it is standard pricing. A little hook for first time buyers and all.  I am sure you catch my drift.
    I am a complete noob when it comes to using custom calculation script.  I am using CS4 on an Imac. If that helps any.
    Can someone please guide me through what the script needs to look like and any other changes I may need.
    btw, it woud be idea to have the new discounted total to appear in my Ad Total box.

    Have you been able to create an Acrobat form with named fields?
    Since you will be using AcroForms, your check box will either have the 'export value' or 'Off' as a value. but if you have a field for the discount rate and use the calculation option of 'Value is the _____ of the following fields:' and the decimal value for the discount, the field will show 0 or the discount rate, if you set the format to 'percentage' then the percentage rate will be displayed. And can then use the same calculation option to compute the total when you select the appropriate fields.

  • Acrobat form with submit button

    Have a coldfusion app that includes an acrobat form that contains a submit button.  The button submits the form to another CF page.  I'm making some fixes to this app and need to change where the form submits, currently it's going to production but i need it to go to test.  When I open the form in Acrobat 8 or Livecycle I don't see any script.  Anyone know where to change wheer this form posts?

    Not sure about LiveCycle, but here's how to do it in acrobat.
    1) Right click on Form Button -> Properties -> Actions
    You should see a list of actions associated with the button.  something like:
    - Mouse Up
           Submit a Form
    2) Select on "Submit a Form" and click "Edit" at the bottom of the screen
    3) Edit URL in "Submit Form Selections" window.

  • Acrobat Forms - receiving Images embedded in Distributed Forms

    Hi, I've been using the Acrobat forms through Live Cycle for a while now for small simple projects, but trying to implement it now in something a bit more complex (as well as learning more as I go).
    I've made a form in LiveCycle ES2 requesting Text, Radio Buttons ...
    ...BUT also that the respondee can send their company logo with the form. To make it simpler than just attaching the logo seperately in an Email.
    I've found the Image Field Object which allows the respondee to upload their Logo into the PDF which then gets mailed back to me.
    What I haven't seen is a way to extract this logo to a databank or similar.
    The text I can collect, sort through, and export as CSV or XML which is great, but other than the logos being embedded in the returned PDF, they don't seem to be accessible anywhere.
    I've probably overlooked it somewhere. (I hope). Can someone assist?
    (I'm also not certain what the difference between creating forms in LiveCycle and straight through Acrobat is, but I'll ask that in another question).
    Thanks Angus

    Since your question is specific to Designer, ask in the LiveCycle forum. Be aware that adding pictures is a rather new process and may not work for folks with older versions of Acrobat or Reader (don't remember how far back this goes).
