Cfpdfform (CF8) changes text-field font of an adobe 9 pdf form to Courier

I'm having problems getting cfpdfform to render the text-field font as it exists in the source pdf form.
The source pdf form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
When I download the pdf from the server using cfcontent, the text-fields look as expected, retaining their designated font (and the pdf has the desired fonts embedded).
However, when I do a cfpdfform action="populate", the text-field font is switched with Courier (even though the desired fonts remain embedded).
This happens regardless of what font I pick.
I have verified that the font exists on the server and in cf admin.
Here's my code:

<cfpdfform action="populate"
           source="#pdfPathFile#"
           destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
           overwrite = "yes">
    <cfpdfformparam name="student_name" value="first name and last name" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_title" value="a cool certificate title" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_date" value="1/1/2010" />
</cfpdfform>

<cfpdf action = "write"
       destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
       source = "#pdfPathFile#"
       flatten = "yes"
       overwrite = "yes" />

<cfcontent
    file = "#pdfPathFile#"
    deleteFile = "yes"
    reset = "yes"
    type = "application/pdf" />
Commenting out the cfpdf action = "write" block produced the same outcome.
Using different source and destination filenames (vs overwriting existing one) didn't make a difference, either.
Any ideas on how I can get cfpdfform to respect my predefined text-field fonts?
I truly appreciate your time.

The problem was resolved.
Turned out to be the way the pdf was created by Adobe 9 Standard that made cfpdfform misbehave.
Three things we did seemed to have made the pdf acceptable by cfpdfform:
1. Downloaded the latest updates for Adobe 9 Standard
2. Checked on the text-field "Multi-line" property
3. Checked off the text-field "Rich Text Formatting" property
Cheers.

How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |                  |
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: (     )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
Thanks,

Change text size font in multiple fields at once

I'm trying to edit an existing pdf form and I want to make the setting for the font smaller in all fields (the auto font before it's altered by rich text formatting) all at the same time rather than each one at a time. How do I do this?

See whether this movie will help: FormFormatting.mp4 - Google Drive

Safari 5.1.2 keeps changing text field randomly on text input

Hello everybody.
Safari keeps changing the text field on input, do you know how to correct this issue?
Here is an example:
Let's say I load www.google.com, it appears in the safari window as usual.
Suppose I begin to type a search in the google search field at the top right of the safari window (not the one on the google page)
if when doing this the sentence is long for the search, at some point randomly, the rest of the text will be entered this time in the google search text field on the google page! (which is the very next text field) So when I hit enter it makes google search half of my request...
Safari changed the text field I was into with no warning. I want to say I do not press tab at any moment.
This is annoying really, and this does not appear anywhere else than in Safari. It seems the issue is not systematic, but appears quite often.
I have no universal access setting except "enable access for assistive device"
I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.
Perhaps the problem I have is linked to some window refreshing?
Thank you for your suggestions or help
Mac Pro, 10.6.8

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.
I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.
Open System Preferences > Universal Access

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.

Changing text field (need more positions) of variant ZUK01 in FF67

I am using a variant called ZUK01 in FF67. In that variant I have a Line item text field, but with not enough positions.
Is it possible to change the field properties so I can change the positions of the field?
I want to use the variant but need to feel in more text then I have positions.
Is it possible to change it? So yes where can I find it?

Hi,
You could go to OT43 tcode (screen variant maintenance for manual bank statement); double click on your variant and note down your Field name (for text); then click on "Technical names" and note down the table and field for that field name. Then, from SE11; you can find out how many characters that field (data element) allows. Then, you can talk to ABAP team member for the possibilities: to enhance that data element or use another field for your purpose.

Change text field in profit center document

Hi,
We have a requirement like whenever we changed the text field for an accounting document, it should change the text field of relevant profit center document also.
Is there a way to get this change automatically in profit center document.

Let us know if there is any possibility to change the text field in profit center document.

Thanks in advance.

Increase the Size of the Range Text Field in the Export Adobe PDF Dialog Box

It’s not unusual for me to export a wide range of pages and I hate that the text field for Range is so small, often cutting off from view many of the page numbers.
There’s a lot of blank space sitting there, begging to be used. A quick measurement shows that the field can be more than doubled from the current 150px to 380px.
The attached PNG shows the text field I'm talking about.

Here's a sample
The debug version allows easy changing of the size, and yes all it takes is changing 1 number. The reason it is only half is probably aesthetic.

Selecting just text fields throughout the entire document when editing forms in Acrobat Pro XI

I edit PDF's all day and it is seriously time consuming to edit the properties of text fields when you can only select a few at a time due to other elements (checkboxes, radio buttons etc.) prohibiting you from simply "Selecting All" elements and editing them all at once. I do not want to change the Appearance properties of all elements, just all of one type throughout the document. Is there a way to do this?
Long story short I would like to just edit all text fields at once, then all checkboxes at once etc.
Thanks for you time!
Sean

In the form edit mode, one can order the display of the fields by "name" or "tab order".
If I sort the fields by name order and then use the control key and left mouse button, I can select various field names and the right mouse click brings up the context menu and I can then select the "Properties" option and I now have the 5 tabs for the common properties for the selected fields. I believe using the control key and the left mouse button is the usual method for selecting specific items in a window listing.

PDF File in Preview doesn't show text fields, but OK in Adobe Acrobat

Someone emailed me a pdf document which I opened in Preview. All the the text fields where there was supposed to be data were blank.
I then opened in Acrobat and everything was there. Saved a copy from Acrobat and opened in Preview and the text was finally visible.
Anyone have a clue why this would be happening?
I'm running Leopard 10.5.1
