Carriage returns in text box comments

Hi I am new to Acrobat (using Acr
obat Pro 9) and I have found that when I add text to a text box it does not seem to recognise the carria
ge return. It seems to do when I type than when I click out of the box the CRs dissappear.
I have resorted to adding a space which does not seem correct.
Is there a setting somewhere?

Whenever you append a line of text to the StringBuffer you also append the newline string for your platform which you can get from the System.getProperty(...) method. For a list of properties, see the getPoperties() method.

"Text Boxes" (comments) in my form are included in "tabbing" through fields while filling in a form

I have included several text boxes (not text fields) in my form. They are adjacent to the fields that are being filled in and serve various comment functions that I do not want in the printed form at the end.
If the user "tabs" through the fields to enter data in the next field the 'text boxes' (comments) are included in the tab stops... I can not see where to turn that off. I want the tab order key to ignore the comment fields - the text boxes. They are not even listed in the tab order menu.
Also - is there a way a field that shows up multiple times in a form (duplicate field) can be skipped by the tabbing through IF it aleady has data in it?

I'm not aware of any app that will translate the form fields from Word to the iPad. My guess is that you're going to have to recreate the forms on the iPad. The best app that I've found for doing this is FormConnect http://http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1. It's a very simple app for creating check boxes and text fields.

Carriage Return in Text Node of SmartForm

Hello SAPients.
I'm working with a Text node in a SmartForm. I'm using "Include Text" to call an existing text. The text loads fine except that it doesn't respects the CR's.
What can I do?

Hello SAPients!
I'm still having this problem, maybe I didn't explain the problem very well and that's why I didn't get an answer. I hope this information be more helpful:
I'm working in SAP 4.6C. I have a SmartForm with a Text Node that shows "unlimited" text. I created another transaction to maintain this text in a small text editor and save the text using FM SAVE_TEXT and retrieve it using FM READ_TEXT and it shows everything correct.
In the SmartForm I'm taking advantage of the option "Include text" in the Text type of the General Attributes of the text node. The system retrieves the text in a normal way, except that the text is shown without Carriage Return, that is, all the text is show in one single line. Do you know why?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Carriage Return for text area

Hello All,
I have a text area that I am pre-populating from a column in a database and I need to do a carriage return. When inserting the information into the column I put 'chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||' after each place where I need to do a carriage return, for some reason it is not being saved in the database that way.
The sql I used to insert the information into the column looks like:
update 456.xyz
set 123 = a || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
b || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
c || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
where abc=def;
I need the output in the text area to be:
a
b
c
But it populates as:
abc
Any help would greatly be appreciated!

I just tested this code:
select 'The date '||sysdate||chr(10)||'is a '||to_char(sysdate, 'DAY')||chr(10)||chr(13)||'Week :'||to_char(sysdate, 'WW') from dual;The output was:
The date 03.06.2010
is a TORSDAG
Week :22I put this in the source of the textarea and set it to update and replace content ( source used always )

Typing "return" in text box automatically starts new line

I'm trying to type "return policy" in a text box and it keeps automatically making the return command after the word "return" so I can't get the 2 words to appear on the same line. It seems like it's reading that word as a command. Is there any way to turn this off? I've assured that the text space is large enough to accomodate those two words on a single line, FYI.
Thanks!

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save. I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was. I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink." That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box. But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink.
If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink. It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved. Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html. If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file. This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
Many thanks in advance.

Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met. Now back to this work:
Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not). I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object. I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared. But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again. I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself. The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though. I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink.
Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one). Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner.
I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond." I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thank you.

How do I change the font size and color in a text box in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (ctrl e does not work)?

I need to mark up scanned pdf documents with text box comments. I can insert the text box and type text but I cannot change the font or color. When I press Crtl E, no tool bar appears in the menu bar. What does appear in the menu bar is "No current selection". Please advise.

I am already doing that: creating the text box, typing the text, selecting the text i.e. highlighting the text. This morning, for a scant minute, the properties tool bar appeared and I was able to refine the text in a text box. Then it disappeared never to be activated again this morning.
I work half of my weekly hours at this client office and I only have this problem on their pc and adobe software (version 9 pro). When I am home, my laptop and the adobe software (version 10 pro) is fine. I can create the text boxes and refine the format at will with no issues. Could it be a software version and/or update issue? Thanks for any assistance.

Text in "Text Box Tool" won't print

I have Adobe 6 Professional and a Brother printer.
You can print text box comments and highlighted text using "Document and comments" option under the "Print what" drop-down in your printer dialogue window.

Thanks...
Flatten sounds like a great way to go. I looked all over, but didn't see a flatten action, can you point me in right direction? I think Photoshop and/or Illustrator have this, but was hoping to just stay in Acrobat, and not get too involved/complicated, if possible.
I stumbled upon a document that said flattening occurs if you save it to [a very old version of Acrobat, like 1.x] Didn't see any place to do this either... on the "Optimize" menu, mine only goes down to Readable by "4.0 and later". Welcome any suggestions.
Re: using "real text" instead of comments, I'd like to, but in some cases the pdf is received, instead of created. So, would like to be able to work with what got (a pdf at the start), then just add the text and embed/flatten/integrate/save or whatever, permanently so to speak, into the document.
Thanks again, and thank you for patience with these questions...

XSLT - New Line/Carriage Return not displaying when deployed

Hello everyone,
I have an XSL Style Sheet that is supposed to transform an XML into plain text using Oracle SOA 11g BPEL transformation. The plain text transformation is working fine, but whenever I try to add a new line or carriage return, the text output doesn't reflect that. I've tried several ways of adding the line break but none of them have worked. This is the XSLT I'm using for testing purposes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">

<xsl:variable name='newline'><xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']" />
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline" />
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I try it out in an online XSLT test tool, it gives the output as expected:
P
2000ITITM
When I deploy the composite, I noticed that the XSLT in the MDS repository ignores the line breaks, *#xAs, etc. and just closes the <xsl:text/> tags:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:oracle:b2b:X12/V4010/850" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/>
<xsl:template match="/a:Transaction-850">
<xsl:variable name="newline">
<xsl:text/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="a:Internal-Properties/a:Data-Structure/a:Property[@Name='InterchangeUsageIndicator']"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:value-of select="$newline"/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text/>
<xsl:text>2000ITITM</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And so, because of that, it just gives me the following output:
P2000ITITM
I have no idea why it's ignoring the new line characters, so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your help and time!
Edit: I tried concatenating as follows:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('36','
')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('24','')"/>
...which shows up as is when I look at it in the MDS repository, however the text output still shows no line breaks...

Ah I'm such a newbie. I was able to get it displayed by doing the following:
<xsl:variable name="newline" select="'
'" />
This would show up correctly in the MDS repository, too.

Saving .pdf file into .jpeg - not displaying text boxes

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

Count the number of carriage returns in a multiline text box

Hello,
I have a script to count the number of carriage returns at the end of each line of text in a multiline text box.
After running the script in the console, the result keeps showing as 0.
Can anyone please advise how the script can be revised to count the number of carriage returns?
var count = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < this.getField; i++)
var f = this.getField("ActionAgenda");
if (f.value =="\u000d") count++
console.println("There are a total of "+ count + " carriage returns.");
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Try this:
var count = 0;
var s = getField("ActionAgenda").valueAsString;
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
if (s[i] === "\r") count += 1;
console.println("There are a total of "+ count + " carriage returns.");

Text Formating/Carriage Return in VC

Hi All,
<b>Background:</b> we are using visual composer (VC) to display BI reports on portal. with that an additional functionality we are providing is commentary, i.e. user can save comments on report to view later.
<b>Problem:</b> we are able to do the task but the problem is user can enter text but it is saved without any carriage returns and line feeds. On retrieval, it gives back all text in a single line and remove all paragraphic arrangements.
I would really appreciate the earliest reply.
