Can't enter text in iBooks fields (desktop app)

NOTE: I dunno how replies here are routed back to the post-er. If this site uses the email address tied to my apple store account I won't get your reply.
I am asking here about the Mac, or desktop, version of iBooks. Why can't I add or edit text in the document info fields?   <see inserted screen shot>    Most of my PDFs are song lede sheets or lyric sheets I have created. I often need to tweak the Title and/or Author info. Again -- I am NOT talking about eBooks but about PDF documents and PDF collections that the user stores in iBooks. Modifying the text in these fields via iTunes was a snap.   When Mavericks renived iBooks from its original iTunes portal to a standalone app, it dissed all the special test I had entered into the author and category fields. It kept the file name and nothing else.   All my PDFs entered the new iBooks showing my name as the author (??)
I have tried CMD-I cliicking on the files ... OPT-I....CTRL-I ...other keystrokes. I find no way to pull up a file info window or other interface that lets me edit these fields. I can't even change the NAME of the document without opening it, making a SAVE AS> copy to the desktop, changing the file name on the desktop, then reimporting the newly named file to replace the old one. Ugh! Is that really how Apple designed this desktop version?    -- David in Kansas City
[Yes, yes. I user other PDF-management apps that are great and more versatile. GoodReader is probably my favorite. But I had enjoyed iBooks to this point as a base station -- a central location for all PDF files]   The ones I want to annotate or modify in other ways are sent over to GoodReader]

Hi Nick,
Was the 'auto find' feature added by a Safari add-on? I don't recall Safari doing that by default. It sounds like that add-on is now interfering with the newer Safari - uninstall it if possible.

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

Using numberd buttons to enter text into a field

Hi all, was wondering if I had 10 seperate sprites acting as
buttons on a page, which will be numbered 0 -9, is it possible to
use them to enter text into a field. e.g.
If the user presses the sprite with a number 1 on it, would
it be possible to have a 1 displayed in an edit field. I need to
pretend as though im using a remote.
thanks

You can create a behavior that will allow you to set a
variable for each
button. When you assign the behavior to your button sprite,
it'll
prompt you to enter the ButtonNumber property. Haven't tested
this yet,
but something like this should work:
global gNumberEntered
property ButtonNumber
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addprop description, #ButtonNumber, [#comment:"Enter number
to assign
to this button", #format:#integer, #range:[1,10], #default:
1]
return description
end getPropertyDescriptionList
on mouseup
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonOver")
gNumberEntered = ButtonNumber
cursor -1
end
on mouseEnter me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonOver")
cursor 280
end
on mouseDown me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonDown")
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonUp")
cursor -1
end

Can't enter text in threaded frame

How basic can this be?
After writing one book I'm preparing master pages for a second. When I created this document I selected the "master" option
I've copied master spreads in the lower frame of the Pages box. I liked several frames on the spreads together.
Now I've come back to those pages. I can select the frame but I can't enter text manually or pasting. The text cursor will not stay in the frame.
My goodness. How elementary can this be, what the heck am I missing?
Thank you for your help.
Scott

What I did was go back to the master pages and delete the existing text frames and rebuilding. That took
care of it.
Thanks for your prompt help. I appreciate it.

Commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'

Hello All,
Does anyone know all commands that can be entered in the 'Command Field'.
I am interested in the commands that start with &. For example &sapedit, &vexcel, &vgrid; etc. (OR commands such as PRFB; etc.)
Just curious, where all these commands are stored?
Thanks
Naved

Hi Nablan,
I tried your suggestion. I noticed that it lists some commands but not all.
Foe example, if I am in CMOD tcode; I clicked on GUI Status but nowhere I saw Command 'PRFB'.
According to a post in SDN, in CMOD tcode; by entering PRFB in the command field a list of all field exits are displayed.
Similary, in SE16n; there are field commands like &sapedit, &vexcel and &vgrid...
Please shed light on this,
Thanks

Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

Hello Amar,
This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
(KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?

Can we implement site catalyst for Remote desktop app like MS dynamics NAV?
please throw some insight

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Does this happens for this particular application?
For a test you can publish Notepad\WordPad as RemoteApp and check whether facing same issue. Please check the result and let us know. If it’s working normally then might seems there is some configuration issue with MS Dynamics App.
Does this happens for all user or specific users?
Which version of RDP Client you are using for client system?
Try to install RDP 8.1 for better feature.

HOW can I enter text using Japanese character sets?

The "Text, Plates, Insets" section of the LOOKOUT(6.01) Help files states:
"Click the » button to the right of the Text field to expand the field for multiple line entries. You can enter text using international character sets such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese."
Can someone please explain HOW to do this? Note, I have NO problem inputting Hirigana, Katakana, and Kanji into MS WORD; the keyboard emulates the Japanese layout and characters (Romaji is default) and the IME works fine converting Romaji, and I can also select charcters directly from the IME Pad. I have tried several different fonts with success and am currently using MS UI Gothic.ttf as default. Again, everything is normal and working in a predictable manner within Word.
I cannot get these texts into Lookout. I can't cut/paste from HTML pages or from text editors, even though both display properly. Within Lookout with JP selected as language/keyboard, when trying to type directly into the text field, the IME CORRECTLY displays Hirigana until <enter> is pressed, at which point all text reverts to question marks (?? ???? ? ?????). If I use the IME Pad, it does pretty much the same. I managed to get the "Yen" symbol to display, though, if that's relevant. As I said, font selected (in text/plate font options) is MS UI Gothic with Japanese as the selected script. Oddly enough, at this point the "sample" window is showing me the exact Hirigana character I want displayed in Lookout, but it won't. I've also tried staying in English and copying unicode characters from the Windows Character Map. Same results (Yen sign works, Hirigana WON'T).
Help me!

Have you changed the regional setting to Japanese?

Safari crashes when entering text into entry fields

I recently bought a MacBook 2.0 (White) and have set up accounts for multiple family members. On one (standard) account, Safari immediately crashes as soon as you try to enter text into an entry field, e.g. to do a search on Google or Yahoo. I've already tried dragging the Safari pref files to the desktop and icon files to the desktop and rebooting both Safari and the entire machine with no success. However, if I log onto any of the other accounts, Safari works fine. Initially, (for about two weeks), it worked fine, it just started acting like this recently. Toggling Java and Javascript off, also doesn't solve the problem. I'm about to create a new account and trash this account entirely, but I was wondering if anyone has seen this problem and knows what's gone wrong.
2.0DualG5, 15"PBook1.5, MacBook2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks Yang, you pointed me in the right direction. I was able to edit and delete items in the Autofil - Other Forms, but when I tried to do the same thing on the Autofil - Address Book Card, it crashed immediately. Further investigation showed that if I tried to open any applications related to the Address Book like Mail or Address Book itself, they immediately crash also! This is kind of weird because this account hasn't been set up for Mail and as far as I know there are no entries in the Address Book. If I uncheck "Using info from my address Book card", Safari doesn't crash, so now it looks like the problem originates from Address Book or possibly Mail.

How can I have text from multiple fields on one layer, copy to one field on another layer?

A little help please as it's been years since I've done any coding of any sort.
So I have a 4 page document with various field types. I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" that works perfectly and a few other scripts as well.
So what I'm trying to do is find a work around for the following:
I have 3 fields - SURNAME, FIRSTNAME & dob.
And I want what is typed into these fields to populate into 1 field. And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it's not exactly possible. At least I think that's what it says.
However I'm hoping that maybe I could have a Submit button at the end of that document that when clicked would copy the text from those 3 fields (that I would have on 1 layer) into 1 field on a 2nd layer. Is that even possible??
I'd also like to have the document Print, Save (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the file name), Email (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the subject line) and Export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.
I don't want much do I?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional. And I'm going to want the form to run in Acrobat Reader X.
So far I have for the 3 fields into 1 on another layer:
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
event.value=this.getField("SURNAME"+"-"+"FIRSTNAME"+"-"+"dob").valueAsString;
But I have no idea how to call the event.value from 1 layer to another or if any of that code above would even work at all.
I have a script that I believe will work perfectly for the Save and Email function:
Using the “doc.submitForm()” function
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
// Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
if(cBenAddr != "") cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
            cURL: cEmailURL,
            cSubmitAs:"XML",
            cCharSet:"utf-8"
I'll work out the Export to Excel thing later as I've seen many tutorials on that. But can I do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?
Please Help!!!

Sorry Gilad. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves (too much) but as I said it's been a while since I did any formal code. And I'm trying to do this code for a work document but I'm doing it in amongst so many other things I do for my job that it's difficult to get the time to concentrate for longer than 5 mins.
I didn't get a chance to try that code until just now. I guess I asked again as I thought (from what I'd read) that it wouldn't be that simple.
So I've added that code and I get no errors. But it doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I've added the code like this in the Custom calculation script of a separate field I've called FileName. And on the Button i'm using I've added: buttonClick()
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
          event.value=this.getField("SURNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;
So now I'm guessing that becasue i'm not getting an error or a result that I've screwed it up still. Have I put the code in the correct area? Have I assigned a the buttonClick() function correctly?

Can't enter text in certain forum dialog boxes (java?)

On certain forums and sites, I am unable to click on a dialog box and enter text. When I click in the box, it either highlights the line or the whole box but does not allow me to enter any text - the keyboard does not appear. I do not have an option to paste text either. The text/dialog boxes look similar to the one I am writing in right now. For my online classes, I use Moodle, and that's one of the sites that causes this issue. It was an issue also on my iPhone but I was hopeful that it would work differently on the iPad.
There are two methods I've found to enter text. One is through HTML and the second is unreliable -sometimes if I click in the box while I refresh, I can get the keyboard to pop up.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Java is enabled and I've tried clearing everything.

According to what I read on another forum entry - to do with WYSIWYG editors - this is a problem with Safari. Apparently, it doesn't handle Javascript correctly in all cases. I administer Joomla sites and Safari on a standard machine, let alone an iPad, gives me a lot of grief. So, on any other machine I use Chrome or FireFox. Sadly, this isn't an option on an iPad. We're stuck with Safari - whether we like it or not!

Can't enter text in a box?

I have a government form that I created in LiveCycle and it automatically filled in the correct boxes with a text box. In the design view mode the orange boxes exist but some boxes allow me to enter text and numbers and others will not. I can't determine what is different from one box to the other. I have deleted the boxes and started over, cutting and pasting from the boxes that work. Help would be appreciated.

Hi ,
I guess you have saved the form as static . Inorder to save the from as dynamic . Click on Save As then click on Adobe Dynamic XML forms.
Inorder to develop interactive forms you should also pre-view it in interactive format . Fot this click on File -> Form Properties - >Preview .Then Click on the preview type as interactive form and preview Adobe XML form as Dynamic XML form .Try this and let's see what happens.
Thanks.

Can't enter text in Message

WHen using Message, I,can't access the text box by tapping. Address and photos can be entered, but no Message. Is this a tactile problem?

If you are able to type text in emails, documents and any other areas where text can be input, I don't see how this could be a tactile problem. Are you able to enter text elsewhere?
Did you try rotating the iPad in different directions to make sure that you don't have a problem with a particular part of the screen? Did you try closing the Messages app completely and start over again? Any other information that you can provide?
In in the meantime, try a reset. This fixes some really weird unexplainable problems.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When using firefox beta can not enter text into reply areas on forums.

When visiting vbulletin type sites, the firefox beta will not enter text into the message reply text box. Seems to be only a problem on honeycomb os.

This sounds like a known bug in Firefox 4: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624163
We have a fix ready for this bug. The fix will be included in an upcoming version of Firefox. If you want to help us test the fix today, you can download a pre-release version from the "Aurora" channel here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#Download_Aurora

This you cannot control. because if it is enabled only in that case you can see it white.
do that thing as suggested by basakar to add a new input field just besides first one with zero padding.
One workaround is use an image instead of real input field. the image should have the input field as image.
and besides it create the input field with width 0 and padding also zero.
i think this can fulfill the requirement.
Thanks
