Combo Box Edits in acrobat Forms, how to do a multi-line combo box?

Could only create a one-liners for this editable combo box, is there a way to create a multi-line like the other fields?

Nope. But you can set up a multiline text field that gets populated with the complete text you want when an item is selected from a combo box.The combo box items might be abbreviated or coded versions of the complete text you want to display.

  • How to create a multi-line table/column comment

    Can someone tell me how to create a multi-line table or column comment?
    Apparently, the concatenate operator (||) does not work with the COMMENT statement.
    I've searched the Oracle manuals and couldn't find an answer.
    COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS 'i would like to break up this comment into several lines in order to improve readability'; Effectively, this is what I'd like to do (but it doesn't work):
    COMMENT ON TABLE sometbl IS
      'i would like to break up ' || CHAR(10) ||
      'this comment into several lines ' || CHAR(10) ||
      'in order to improve readability' || CHAR(10); Oracle version is 10.2.0.4

    Why not just
    SQL> create table t (a int)
    Createtable successfully completed.
    SQL> comment on table t is 'i would like to break up 
    this comment into several lines 
    in order to improve readability'
    Commenton successfully completed.
    SQL> select * from user_tab_comments where table_name = 'T'
    TABLE_NAME           TABLE_TYPE  COMMENTS                               
    T                    TABLE       i would like to break up               
                                     this comment into several lines        
                                     in order to improve readability        
    1 row selected.?

  • How do you display multi line text

    Hi
    How does one display multi line text? I would like to display address information on the screen so that the user can select it and copy/paste it into another application (ms word).
    I have the address information as separate columns (address1, address2, city, province, postal code) so I've changed the query on my view object to add it as address1 || chr(10) || address2 || chr(10) || city ....
    If I display it on the page as an output text, it all displays as one line (okay, the chr(10) thing did not work but that's beside the point).
    In general, is there a way to display multi line text? What component is suitable for this, if there is one?
    Thanks

    You can use normal outputText components in a panelGroupLayout (vertical layout) and add each attribute to it. The remove the labels or set the components to simple. You can then mark the data in the browser and use normal copy&paste to transfer the data.
    If you want to output longer text with line breaks you can use an outputText with escape=false and use the br html tag to generate a line break;
    <af:outputText escape="false"
    value="+++++++long<br>test<br> this is a long text in multiple lines" id="ot10" truncateAt="#{viewScope.ToggleBean.truncateLength}"/>Timo

  • How to Process a Multi-Line Form

    Hi:
    I've created a pl/sql portlet that displays a multi-line html form. The desired functionality is: user enters data into one or more lines, clicks a button, and all lines get inserted. Currently, to perform the insert I have a Javascript function that cycles through each line of the html form then uses the window.open function to call a url (that is a pl/sql procedure). The window is opened once for each inserted record.
    Does anyone know of a better way of doing this? I'd like to run the procedure without opening a window, but I don't know how.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    hi Christ,
    let me understand what you are trying to do first. it appears to me that you may be trying to do one of the following two things:
    1. you may have more than one field and the user may enter one or all of those fields. and then press the submit button to enter/ insert the data in some table.
    2. or you have more just one field with a data value which is large enough to span over several lines. in that case you have one field with larger data value. and when a user enters a value for such a field and press submit then you want it to be entered into the table.
    a. in any case, it would be much simpler if you develop a portal form based on procedure. there you will need to create just a regular form based on a procedure in which you should put just insert statement for the data to be entered into that certain table.
    b. you can still do it with you customized form where you may create a form from an embedded html in the pl/sql. if you really wanna do it then there is a simple way to do that too but not simpler than the portal form technique.
    now this is all if i understood your little description correctly. let me know if your problem is different. please be specific in your description, if you choose so.

  • How do I set multi-line tabs?

  • Acrobat 9 Mac- Forms-how do I add multiple lines?

    I created a document cover in Quark and saved it as a PDF.(I'm on a Mac)
    The idea is for the client (on a PC) to open the document in Acrobat
    and add a few lines for a heading. I think I figured out how
    to add a text box form, but it only allows for ONE line of text.
    I know some of their document headings will require 2 -3  lines.
    How is this done? And is this the best method for giving the client something they
    can "add to" and print out? PLease advise.  I have looked thru the Help menus
    and community support,  but did not find an answer. thanks.

    You can set a text box to be multiline. Right-click it using the Select Object Tool and look under Properties.

  • Acrobat Forms -- how do i make a text field opaque when typing

    I'm new to the Forms formatting, so bear with me. I'm trying to create a fillable form which has rules to fill in by hand. How can I create a text field box that will cover the rules behind it if someone chooses to type the info instead of handwriting. I found a script that almost works:
    if (event.value.toString().length > 0) {
    event.target.fillColor = color.white ;
    } else {
    event.target.fillColor = color.transparent ;
    The only problem with this is that the rules show while typing on top of them. The box turns opaque when a new entry is made in another field. Anyway to make the box opaque while they're typing ?

    Here's a link to a demo that I believe behaves as you want: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=AG6oZ3bi3DYHokxDPeWN7A
    It is controlled by several scripts, so study them to see how it works.

  • Acrobat form; how to set-up a drop down list that has catagories?

    Hi,
    We produce business directories.
    I am working on a display ad proof template where the user has a choice of 10 main categories where each main has 5 to 15 sub-categories.
    In my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 I understand how to create a drop down list, but can't seem to find where to tie in the sub-categories for each for the main listing.
    When the main category is chosen it would only show the related subcategories. See clip below. I am sure this is easy...just find the steps in the instructions.
    Thanks, Bruce 

    Hi Bruce,
    This forum is specific to Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro 9. It will be easier to create this type of functionality in Designer (compared to achieving it in Acrobat).
    Designer creates XFA Forms, which are wrapped in a PDF. The user doesn't see any difference: eg they see a PDF which will open in Acrobat/Reader. However for user with Reader to be able to save the data they input, the form must be reader Enabled. This is a topic in itself and there are many discussions on the forums - just try a quick search.
    Now to the question...
    Yes, you can achieve this with some script. Basically you would need script in the preOpen event of the Business sub-category, which would look back at the selection in the Business category. Based on this value, the script would populate the sub-category with appropriate items.
    There is an example here: http://assure.ly/jcTahK.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Editing a PDF form- How to link fields in a text

    I am trying to create a basic form for a medical practice which has various sections [e.g "history of presenting illness"] that have several lines of text each. When I try and create the form and write on the previewed highlighted fields, my cursor continuously stays on the line/field until the end and never returns to the next line/field below it. Instead it seems only to decrease the size of the font. How do I link the fields in a section of text?

    You create a multiline field and then let it wrap. Your approach is wrong. If you insist on having separate entry lines, basically having a separate field for each line, then you might be able to do it with JavaScript. However separate fields for each line is not very consistent such a form.
    Be careful about how you submit such a form with patient data. I assume you are just planning on saving it to a file and not submitting. The submission to an e-mail is not secure and thus not appropriate for such data. Also, you really only need to save the data for most uses other than viewing, and so saving as the data as FDF or XML (if Designer is used) is probably more appropriate to the application.

  • How to enter a multi-line comment in the Info editor?

    When entering comments for a song (in Command-I Info), is there an easy way to break the comment into multiple lines?
    I realize that I can copy-and-paste from a text editor, but (a) it's cumbersome (b) the line breaks don't show in the Comments column, so it's pretty ugly.
    Any suggestions?

  • Esigning acrobat forms

    I like to esign recieved acrobat forms but that file is rejected at the end of upload.
    (The forms returns to my mail in-box after completed by the resonder, ordinary Acrobat Forms )
    How can I 'transform' that file into an ordinary pdf that will not be rejected.
    This couestion leads into a more general question about what files you can esign.
    I have been testing a bit with portfolios with and without secured files.
    The reason for this testing is to stamp a secure time on the file.
    The uploads are mostly rejected.
    Please let me have your comments
    regards

    I'd have to check for sure, but one issue with forms is that you can change the data after signing, which is probably not the behavior you would like to see.
    You can flatten the form fields in a PDF which brings the data into the main document layer and makes it uneditable.
    Ordinary PDF forms (acroforms) are pretty easy to flatten.
    In Acrobat Pro, choose Advanced>Preflight and go to the Fixup category. Choose Flatten Form Fields and Annotations.
    You can also flatten form fields by using the PDF Optimizer.
    If you only have Acrobat Standard, you can print to the Adobe PDF Printer driver to flatten the document or use a script to flatten the form.
    See: http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2010/02/add_a_flatten_document_menu_item.html
    That script mentioned in the article also works in Pro.

  • 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.

    Hi Val,
    I see! Please see this thread: Is FormsCentral part of the Creative Cloud?
    Creative Cloud doesn't include FormsCentral, which is why you're being prompted to upgrade. (An Acrobat Pro subscription, on the other hand, does include FormsCentral.)
