Combo/ list box in Adobe Reader on iPhone 5

I have exported to an interactive PDF which contains radio buttons, text fields, combo boxes and list boxes. This form is to be viewed on an iPhone in Adobe Reader. All the form objects work except for the combo/list boxes. They appear and a selection can be made but the selection is not displayed in the box. I have tried to enlarge the box, thinking it was too small to display the text.
Can someone please tell me if there is a compatibility issue or a work around for this problem.
Thanks!
Gemma

I tested one of my interactive PDF forms, and it works fine in Reader on iPhone 5. Here is what a list box looks like:

Combo/list box image next to option

Hi,
I'm trying to display an image (small icon) within a drop
down/combo/list box in a form. I've not found a simple way of doing
it and wondered if anyone could advise of an easy way to do this
seemingly simple task ?
The result I'm after can be seen here:
http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxCombo/index.shtml
of the five combo boxes displayed I'm after the 'combo box
with icons' result. The method used on this page to acheive the
effect seems a bit overkill for my requirement, otherwise I'd
try/use it. I've looked at the page source, but nothing is revealed
regarding the html/css used to do it.
I'd appreciate anyone advising a simple way to do this.
Many thanks.

If your page is asp then the code below will do what you
want. Now when a
user selects a country then that country id will be entered
into a cookie.
then when the user goes to other pages on your site you can
have if else
statements to show language of your choice.
if you need the country flag icons go to ip2location.com they
will give them
for free.

How to populate values in List Box in Adobe form

Hi,
How to populate values in List box in adobe forms?
Thanks
RB

if you want to display a fixed values in the dropdown you can use list box ui and can specify values there
or if u want to display values from the context node of the webdynpro
1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.

This allows me to Compare all version of any operating system, software or service packs that are on my DSl And the ones running on user's machines.
I am going to use this as an alert for my organisation.basically this is for Security issues to Machines still running old versions.
Please for any Q's, Shout me.

Set Adobe Reader iPad/iPhone app to just view pdf instead of downloading it?

Hello,
I work for a financial company and it seems that some of our user's were having trouble viewing a pdf document that contained editable text boxes. The layout of the form itself would show, but none of the text within the text boxes would appear. So I tested the pdf out on my phone as well and did the same exact thing (layout shows, but no text). Since everyone was having trouble viewing the text within the document, I downloaded the Adobe Reader App and it worked perfectly. The only issue that I have is that since we are a financial institution, we get audited quite often and having documents stored on your phone is a big 'no-no' to the auditors. So I was wondering if it was possible to make the Adobe Reader App just view the pdf instead downloading the pdf to the application and storing it in the docs and the recent docs setting. A little more info on our part: We are running Exchange 2010, my iPhone is a 4S and it's running the ios7, and the iPad is running ios 6.1.03 (I think). Also, I did a little bit of searching but I could find anything but is there some sort of list that will say what does/does not work in regards to pdf's on iPhones or iPads? Any suggestions/help is very welcome and appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Shradha and thank you for that information. Now is that only in regards to the Adobe Reader app or does that copy expand to all current pdf viewer apps on iOS? If it is only in regards to the Adobe Reader app, then do you know of an app that may have the functionality that I am looking for? I have tried searching for one, but I have been unsuccessful in my searches.
Thanks,

Protected form cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader for IPhone

Hi,
I've created a pdf form in Acrobat XI and password protected it for editing. I can fill in the form and save it in adobe reader, but it cannot be filled in in Adobe Reader in an IPhone. Are there any security settings I can use to protect the form from being edited and still allow it to be completed in an IPhone?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Satyadev,
Thanks to Adobe and you for looking into this issue and responding. While
your team works on expanding functionality for protection, please let them
know that expanding the javascript api in Mobile Reader would be wonderful
as well. I made a search box that looks up towns in a list of over 900
towns to make it so users didn't have to scroll through such a large list.
This function works in Adobe Reader but not Mobile Reader because the
javascript api in Mobile Reader is very limited.
Thanks again,
Bob

Error Viewing Fillable PDF Forms in Adobe Reader on iPhone/iPad

I created a fillable form on a Windows computer in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but when I open the document from an email attachment in the Adobe Reader app on my iPhone or iPad the top have of the form is blacked out (literally the top half of the document has a black box over it). I can't see the fields, but if I touch the screen in that area I can edit them. However, I still cannot see anything in that area. When I zoom in and out, sometimes the blacked out area will become visible, but when it's done adjusting the zoom levels the blacked out area covers the form again.
I just downloaded the Adobe Reader app today, so it's not an old version.
I tried on an iPhone and an iPad.
I can see the whole form when I open the attachment in Safari, but I want to be able to edit it and see all the fields.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

In case anyone else has this problem, I fixed it...
Situation: I made the fillable form with an existing PDF document, I did not start from scratch.
Solution: I saved the original PDF as a Word document, and then turned on the "paragraph marking" tool in Word. This revealed that there was a text box hidden at the bottom of the document. Once I removed the text box, I re-saved the document as a PDF and recreated the form again. It was kind of a pain, but it solved the problem!

Combo/List Box Item List in Properties

Im creating a form in Acrobat. Used a list box instead of combo box. But need to change to combo box. I already entered in all the items for the list. I don't want to spend too much time on this. Is there a way to copy the list from properties on the list box and past into the new combo box?

You can use Acrobat JavaScript to convert the current items, getItemAt,
in the list box/combo box to an array or list that could be edited in array definition, edit that list and then use JavaScript, setItems, to use that array to populate the field.

Cannot open PDF on Adobe Reader for iPhone

When I click on the file to open in the App it says, "The document has features that are not supported in this version of Adobe Reader". I have ensured that I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader onto my phone. The PDF, "material is copyrighted and does have digital rights content protections on printing, copying and saving", there is no opportunity for me to enter a password or other verification. I can open this file on my computer, and I can also open other PDF's on my iPhone using the Adobe Reader App. Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to access study material for a rigorous upcoming exam, all materials were purchased legally.

Adobe Reader mobile products (Adobe Reader for iOS, Adobe Reader for Android, etc.) do not support DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected PDF documents even in the latest version.
Please use the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for a Windows or Mac computer to open the PDF document instead. Sorry for the inconvenience.

How to get Adobe documents to Adobe Reader on Iphone?

I downloaded Adobe Reader to my Iphone. When i tapped on a Adove file i got on my email(on my iphone) it said "saving to disk", wich disk is it talking about? And how can i reach it from my Adobe Reader app?

MargretheS,
What is the mail app that you use on your iPhone. Apple Mail (the default iOS mail app) does not show the message like "save to disk".
Did you find the answer to your question in How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)?
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

List box in adobe form

I have an adobe form with a bunch of list boxes. For each list box, I don't want anything selected by default and do not want to put in an extra entry like 'select an item' since I need these to be required fields. So I would like nothing selected by default but force the user to pick an item from the list. What is the easiest way to do this? thanks

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated. thx

Simple (I hope) Combo/list box question

I am using Acrobat Pro 9, I have a combo list that allows a person to choose male or female. I want the default to be blank so that if they don't have a dependent it isn't showing male or female. It doesn't allow me when I go to properties, any suggestions? I do not work with script at all so that's not an option for me.
Thank you!!!

This might not be the absolutely best answer, but I was just able to game the properties by adding an option that is only a space...as in one click on the space bar. Then I made that the default.
I'd be interested to know if there's a better way to do what you're after, but I think this one works.

SEARCH BOX IN ADOBE READER X

Hey everybody. I recently upgraded
my Adobe Reader to Adobe Reader X from Adobe Reader 9. However, I can't find the
"Search" box in the new Adobe Reader X. I really need it to make my reasearch for Homework a lot easier.
Can anyone help me out?

Not very helpful, you can also do this from the toolbar. But it does not remove the stupid magnifying glass and replace it with the search bar which would be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better.
So how do you get rid of the stupid magnifying glass and replace it with the actual search bar????????????????????????????????????????
That would be a lot more useful.
