Disable use of special characters in a form

We are wanting to disable the use of special characters that are not in the font family already. Arial Unicode has an expansive family, where Roboto doesn't. Is there a simple way to do this?

I think I've already replied for this on the other post.
Check the link that I've posted in it.
Thanks

  • Remove spaces and special characters from a form field

    Hi,
    I am tragically new to all of this, but am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 9.  I am trying to use a Custom Format script to take inputs in a form field and automatically remove spaces and special characters (hyphens specifically).  For example, if a user inputs "RAN-99 06" I would like it to change to "RAN9906."  I found this script that will not let users input special characters
    if (!event.willCommit) {
        event.change = event.change.replace(/[\$#~%\*\*\^\-\(\)\+=\[\]\{\};\"\<\>\?\|\\\!]/g, "");
    And that's okay, but I can't figure out how to disallow spaces.  Also, the perference would be for a script to allow users to input the data as they like, but to clean it up after they leave the text field.
    Thanks in advance!

    From the description, I assume that the script is currently in the Keystroke event. In fact, that would be a most logical way to have it; simply ignore anything unwanted when entered.
    If you want to allow the user to enter anything, but "clean it up" when done, you would place your code in the Validate event. You will have to adjust your Regular Expression so that it works globally, but that's the whole difference. This will change the value.
    Note that you can also enter the code into the Format event. However, that would only change the visual representation of the value, but internally, the value would remain as entered.
    Hope this can help.

  • Text fields special characters problem in forms created with ID

    Hi there,
    I'm creating form document with ID.
    The problem with special characters appears after exporting file to interactive pdf.
    When filling up text field, special characters (polish language specials in my case) are replaced by squares.
    I do not know if this is a ID problem (and I should set encoding during pdf creation somehow) or Acrobat/Reader problem (tried both and also in Polish or English versions).
    Some help would be appreciated.

    I am Creative Cloud User and downloaded fresh ID less than 2 hours ago.. And honestly the last thing I would think about was updating.
    But in fact - it was the problem.
    So thank you very much for help!

  • Use of special characters in Search String

    What is the use of special charaters like
    in the search string in the Find & Replace of ABAP editor ?
    I want to search for all strings starting with V which are followed by alphabets like
    VA
    VB...
    If I use V*, it also gives me results like
    V/R...
    Whether it is possible to specify such a condition?

    Hi,
    While giving ur search in FIND & REPLACE,
    use the match case or match whole word only..
    Then u will get search results only where the exact case of that variable is used..
    As per my knowledge there is no signification of special characters ,- : ; in the search string..
    Hope this helps...

  • Using accents/special characters in keyboard WAY TOO SLOW!

    I'm often using french, and thus many words have many accents (just a short phrase exemple : l'été passé j'ai dû boire l'amère potion de la déception... A short sentence, 5 accents. Can be worse).
    I'm typing pretty fast, and already getting frustrated because the french keyboard doesn't have the ' included, which would save so much time in contractions. (Would probably be added automatically if I could use the corrector, but I can't, cause switching from french to english all the time, I just get stupid jumble all the time).
    But the worst of the worst is each time I need to type an accented letter, I lose 2.5 seconds! Because that's how long it takes for the accents options to pop-up after I hold my finger on the letter...
    It's completely ridiculous!
    Typing a short 3 letter word like "été" takes over 6 seconds!
    It makes me so mad!
    I almost completely stopped writing my french emails or Facebook updates and such from my iPod Touch and prefer to wait until I'm on my MBP! Is that normal when you have the chance to own the Touch?!
    I've contacted Apple about this many months ago, but like any complaint I've had in the past, never heard of them.
    Has anyone else have such a delay with the accents/special characters keyboard (popups)?
    Is there something I can do?

    Simply copy and paste. Just did it and it worked. Perhaps I'm not understanding something. What do you mean by "insert a font."

  • Restrict use of special characters in AD usernames

    I am planning to restrict use of any special characters including - "dash" when creating AD users in ADUC console.
    All are windows server 2008 R2 Domain Controllers
    Any suggestions.

    You should change the thread to a question rather than discussion. 
    My recommendation would be to use PowerShell to do this. 
    You could edit this script
     http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/New-User-Creation-tool-14fa73cd
    It will give you a GUI interface and you could edit this to prevent the characters you want from being used in usernames.

  • How to allow use of special characters in a particular version/Hierarchy

  • I use some special characters (vowels with an accent mark), these are not showing up properly, whereas they do on my old IE browser-can anyone help?

    Here's an example. The Irish word "Lúnasa" is showing up as "L�nasa" when I post it in places such as Yahoo! Groups. This does not happen with my old IE browser. Thanks for any help!

    No, the first "Lúnasa" looks correct. The second one is how it appears after posting it to a Yahoo! Group. It's odd, because when I view the same post in the Yahoo! Group via IE8, it looks fine. Just to fill out the details, I wrote the original "Lúnasa" in MS Word, then copied and pasted it into my Yahoo post. Needless to say, I am confused!
    Thanks again for you help!

  • Use special characters in a DTD

    Hello,
    I created a DTD amd want to use some special characters in this DTD. E.G. I want to define:
    <!ATTLIST element value (val1|val 2|<val3>|%val4) #REQUIRED>
    I tried the following but the parser does not accept without errors:
    <!ATTLIST element value (val1|val&#xxx;2|&#yyy;val3&#zzz;....
    Of course I replaced the xxx, yyy and zzz with the unicode number of the special sign.
    So what do I do wrong? Or is it in general not possible to use special characters ?
    Thank you very much,
    Findus

    Hi,
    one thing I did which does not work is:
    <!ATTLIST element values (&|<|val1) #REQUIRED>
    The XML parser (XMLSpy) alway requires me for entering a '%' which is as far as I know only used for parameter entities. But & and the rest are general entities, aren't they ??
    I played arround a little bit and found a solution which still does not completly solve my problem: In order to use special characters I declare parameter entities:
    <!ENTITY percent "&#37;">
    <!ENTITY lower "&#60;">
    <!ATTLIST element values (%lower;|val1|%percent;) #REQUIRED>
    This works so far so good but if I want to embed the special characters (which is what I need to do!) the parser still gives me errors:
    <!ATTLIST element values (text%lower;moreText|val1|%percent;) #REQUIRED>
    I would be really glad if anybody could test this on his own and post me about the results. For any other kind of avice I'm very thankful, too.
    Thank you very much,
    Findus

  • OID/Portal - Restrict Special Characters to be used in Password

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how I can restrict the use of special characters ($, &, £...etc) in the OID password? I cannot see an attribute to achive this? orclpwdIllegalValues will stop certain words, but I just want to restrict the use of any of the special characters in any password. All suggestions or information would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Requires custom plugin (using PL/SQL) to add password value checking to OID password policy management capabilities. A description and example code for this is available in chapter 27 of the Oracle® Internet Directory Administrator's Guide, 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) entitled "Oracle Internet Directory Plug-In for Password Policies" available at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14082/plugin_pwdpolicies.htm#i122359

  • Why can't I use special characters in my password? This isn't 1995 anymore where a lot of people don't have QWERTY keyboards.

    Why does your site not allow the use of special characters in passwords? Do you not want your customers to be as secure as possible?
    As a network security admin, limiting passwords to prohibit special characters is an extremely poor security practice.
    Telling me that my security as a customer is important, then tell me that your own system limits my ability to keep my account as secure as I would like seems quite backwards. I understand the archaic reasoning was that not all devices have a QWERTY keyboard, this logic is flawed and is no longer necessary.

    Hi, sorry to hear that you are experiencing these problems, but sometimes a new machine (be it Apple, Dell, whatever) can be defective right out the box - its not unheard of.
    If your machine came with defective hardware and is still under warranty (seems to be the case here) then you have nothing to lose taking it back to where you bought it and, if there really is defective hardware present I am sure they'll rectify the problem.
    A small note: these problems are not manufacturer-specific - its pointless blaming the manufacturer as I can assure you this happens with ALL brands. Apple supplies quality hardware and software - I know of a user who has had a machine switched on since 1987 without problems

  • 802.1X PEAP fails when using special characters in login

    I am using MS AD & NPS for 802.1X Enterprise authentication with PEAP (no client certificate - MS-CHAPv2 user credentials for login). This works fine for iOS devices on 8.1 (iPhone 5 and iPad mini) and 6.1.6 (iPhone 3GS) when the user has standard "English" ASCII characters in the username and password.
    However, when I introduce Unicode special accented characters in the login name or password such as French é/ù or Spanish ñ then after accepting the server cert authentication fails with "Incorrect username or password for <WLAN name>". Windows 7 and CentOS 6.5 laptops have no problem authenticating to the same setup with either "English" credentials or ones with special accented characters. I also tried an old iPod touch on ancient software version and that fails, so its not something recently introduced.
    I tried using a different access point (TP-Link instead of Ruckus) and had exactly the same issue, so highly unlikely this is an AP issue.
    Then I setup FreeRadius with and see exactly the same issue, so its highly unlikely to be a MS AD/NPS issue.
    When comparing a working/failed authentication Wireshark packet capture on the NPS server, I see the failed attempt is missing the last 4 packets in the authentication exchange. The last packet sent is an Access-Challenge from the NPS server and no response from the iOS device, so the NPS server never even sends an Access-Reject. The iOS device appears to have decided it can't resolve the special characters and terminates the authentication attempt.
    To me this seems to be an Apple iOS software deficiency when using Unicode special characters in the username or password for 801.2X authentication?

  • Handle special characters in xml

    Hi,
      Our end users tend to copy the description text from Word documents to pdf form and submits it.
    If that text contains any special characters, its getting carried to the extracted xml. In the next step, when I try to assign a task to user with template and this xml, Managers cannot able to open the form and showing the error. When I assign the xml without special characters, its running fine.
    Please assist on how to handle this?
    My expectation is that user should be prompted in the form when he pastes any special characters or they should be auto-corrected to null values. if that is not possible, atleast we should able to filter the xml and eliminate special characters before the form go to next stage.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Krishna

    In first instance, I would have followed this way:
    http://www.dvteclipse.com/documentation/svlinter/How_to_use_special_characters_in_XML.3F.h tml
    so, I would have parsed the submitted text in a Validate event and changed any special chars to UTF-8 numeric reference.
    However, I found this:
    http://blog.mark-mclaren.info/2007/02/invalid-xml-characters-when-valid-utf8_5873.html
    which seems to state that not all UTF-8 characters are possible in XML.
    In fact, those allowed are listed here:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-Char
    so, I would still use a Validate event script but based on the XML specs' Character Range. Exactly as Mark McLaren did in Java.
    This will permit to keep those special chars that are allowed. Your Managers will thank you.
    Hope it helps.

  • Mac OSX's "press and hold" shortcut to special characters won't work in Firefox.

    Need to use accented special characters (áéö...) to write in my mother tongue. On Mac OS X 10.8.3 this can be done by simply pressing and holding a key and then selecting the right character from a list that shows up. It functions well in Safari and in Chrome but no success in Firefox 21.0. This makes Firefox a no-go although otherwise a great browser.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
