Font fitting to edge of text box

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to force a font to go the edge of a text frame? Some fonts have generous space above the cap height of the letters inside a text frame. But I would like the text frame to be the same size (height) as the font inside the frame.
Regards, Tim

Check out your Text Frame Options - select the frame and go to Object>Text Frame Options
Then go to the Baseline Tab
Then check out the First Baseline Option - and turn on the preview to view your changes.
That will give you the option to have X height, Cap Height, accent etc.
If you want to get right out the edge of a frame on the left side then check out the Window>Types and Tables>Story and turn on optical alignment, that will allow punctuation to hang out side the text frame, not only that but the arms of "T" and letters like that will also extend past the frame edge, with a negative value.

How do you change the font color in CALL-OUT text boxes in PRO XI?

How do you change the font color in CALL-OUT text boxes in PRO XI?

It's not so simple to find it if you don't know what you're looking for... But it can be found via View - Show/Hide - Toolbar Items - Properties Bar.

I am trying to fit information in a text box. Is there way to move the information further up. There is a lot of wasted space on the top.

Font size in PDF form (text boxes)

Hi!
I have an application form as a PDF which I have to print and send back. But the text isn't fitting into the text box, so I get a scroll bar. Now I either have to change the font size or change the size of the text box. But I couldn't find out how to, neither in Reader 8 nor in 9.
Another Option would be to export it as a jpg or something. Can I do that somehow?
Greetings

> I can't imagine there's no way to change the font size...
Yes, the form designer can change the font size. So can you if
(a) you buy the same software - Acrobat Pro, and
(b) the form is not protected - locked - by the form designer.

BUG : Can't change properties (font, size, etc.) in Text Box (Acrobat Pro Extend 9.3.4)

Here is a bug in Acrobat 9. It's really frustrating :
1- Open any PDF file.
2- Select the Text Box tool and type something.
3- Notice that you can change the font using the Properties toolbar (CTRL + E).
4- Open a second PDF file.
5- Select the Text Box tool and type something in this document.
6- Notice that you can change the font using the Properties toolbar (CTRL + E) also.
7- Switch back to the first opened PDF file.
8. Try using the Properties toolbar.
YOU CAN'T BECAUSE THE TOOLBAR IS DISABLED!
There is nothing you can do to make it enabled again.
This bug seems to be present since Acrobat 8 and the Acrobat Developper Team did not fix it yet. I am a programmer and I know that you need only 5 minutes to fix this bug. WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET???
It's horrible to deal with this bug...
I hope Acrobat Developper Team heard me and will fix this ASAP.
Thank you.

We have had tons of discussions about this problem. I would love it if Adobe would fix this problem. In the meantime, one thing we are testing in our environment, and we think it is successful, is to set Preferences to "never view in PDF/A mode'. Maybe that can help you.

Is there any plug-ins that will show the missing text that couldn't be fitted in the created text box?

Hello,
I often work with long pieces of text that are too long to be fitted inside a pre-determined text box.
I want to know how much text is not appearing inside of my text box without having to change the size of the text box. Is there any way of doing that? Perhaps via plug-in?

If there is more text than will fit inside an area text object, the out port of the object will show as a red + sign. Select the object with the Selection tool. Click on the red + and the pointer becomes a "loaded text" icon. Click and drag on an empty space of the artboard, creating a new text object containing the overflow text. It may be necessary to resize the new text object to view all remaining text.

Getting CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular when adding text box or text callout

Just updated Acrobat X Pro on Mac to v10.1.10
Now if I try to add a text box or a text callout (text box with arrow) I get a popup error saying "CoolType invalid font error 'can't fetch cmaps' for font MyriadPro–Regular"
Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi oscar18,
This is usually caused due to corrupt/ invalid font libraries.
On your Mac, open up 'Font Book' and follow the instructions below:
Hit Cmd + A to select all fonts as shown above
Click on File > Validate Fonts
This will open up the Font Validator that will scan all your fonts and will notify you if there are any corrupt fonts. If you do see any corrupt font libraries, please remove/ delete those fonts from your computer. Then try opening Acrobat and check.

Adding html into edge animate text box from external js file

I have a text field in edge animate that I want to update with a score. The function that is used to click and update the score is in an enternal file so I'm trying to figure out how to get my edge animate div to be read by jquery in the external file. This is what I have so far in the external js but it isn't reading the edge animate text field properly:
external .js file:
        AdobeEdge.coinCounter += 250; // this calls the variable coinCounter which was set in edgeActions.js and updates it from the original 0 value
                alert(AdobeEdge.coinCounter); // this shows it works and updated correctly
       var comp = AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-172492634");
       var stage = comp.getStage();
     stage.sym.$("gameText").html(AdobeEdge.coinCounter); // this is where things go wrong. I want this updated value to read back into the textbox called "gameText" that is in the edgeAnimate composition
      stage.sym.$("gameText").html("NewText"); // nothing reads to the "gameText" textbox; something must be wrong how I am referencing it outside of edgeActions in the external .js file
Would someone mind helping me reference the textbox "gameText" correctly so I can input my new value? Thank you!!

Thank you. The learning curve is taking me awhile. It works now:
    var checking = AdobeEdge.getComposition("EDGE-172492634").getStage().$("gameText").text();
    alert(checking); //yay!
Thanks Joel!

Font dropdown to change dynamic text box?

Hello, pretty new to Flex... well very! First Day! The MXML
seems pretty simple enough but having some trouble i guess on the
actionscript side! I want to create a very cut down version of a
text editor. Very cut down! 2 textboxes one input the other
dynamic... type some text in one it outputs to the other. Easy! but
now i want to add a drop down with embeded fonts... ive embeded my
fonts and there working fine. But i want to apply each font style
to my options in the drop down (bit like the system fonts drop down
examples you see) im making my combobox from an ArrayCollection
with aload of Strings. i also want a function to change the font
type on my dynamic textbox from a dropdown option click="" if that
makes sense. Bit confused think i might b looking into it to
deeply. Its just simple for a customized car license plate
builder... i want them to have the ability to enter there
registration and change the font and color etc. Can anyone point me
or show me something im a bit flexed out... sure im being silly
about this!

Linking Dynamic text boxes?

Hi there,
This might be straight forward, but I would like to know how could one link dynamic text boxes so that the information would flow? In a way, the information would flow from:
(XML) Input A into BOXA00, BOXA01, BOXA02, BOXA03, etc.
(XML) Input B into BOXB00, BOXB01, BOXB02, BOXB03, etc.
(XML) Input C into BOXC00, BOXC01, BOXC02, , BOXC03, etc.
Any takers?

Hi i recently have made a function that can calculate the amount of text that will fit into a specified text box. See my attached file. Notice that the box will only accommodate the text in red since that is the maximum it can display.
"This here one is a very very very long long long text that cannot really fit completely into this box so we will have to cut it at some index point"
My function getTextExtent will return an object with properties
nIndex -> which determines the index at which the text will be delimited
fExceeded -> is true if the text is longer than the allocated height of the text field.

How to change font size in new text box

Using Acrobat XI, I am trying to fill in a non fillable form simply by adding text boxes where information needs to go. Unfortunately the font used on the form is rather small and I can't seem to make the font smaller than 8. It not only looks ridiculous but I can not actually fit in all the information.
How do I make the font smaller?
Cheers

Use the "Add text box" tool under Comment - Drawing Markups.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

Dynamic text boxes, font size issues

I have created a dynamic text box and an input text box.
I have produced code that replicates whatever is typed in the
input box to display in the dynamic box along with a date and time
stamp once a button is clicked.
This all works fine, except for the sizes of the fonts. for
both boxes, i selected font size 10 . The input box is fine,
however the dynamic box text is huge.
When i make the dynamic text font smaller, it fits in fine,
but the input text that is inserted into the dynamic text box comes
in too big. If i make the input text box font smaller it is
unreadable when typing it in.
any soultion to how to make my font consistent. I am assumin
the problem is because both the text boxes are different sizes,
however i don't know how to resolve the issue.
Any help is much appreciated.

var today_date:Date = new Date();
var date_str:String =

var my_date:Date = new Date();
var boat = ""
btn_send.onPress = function() {
var today_date:Date = new Date();
var date_str:String =

var my_date:Date = new Date();
date_txt = date_str + " " + my_date.getHours() + ":" +
my_date.getMinutes() + ":" + my_date.getSeconds() + " " + boat;
the text appears in the dynamic box it just is a mish mash of
font sizes!!!

Hebrew fonts from drop-down box not displaying in text box.

I am using InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac 10.8.4.
When in ID, the fonts I am seeing on the Font dropdown menu when I try to use in a text box are not displaying correctly. They only display as boxes. The fonts are in the Hebrew language. They are properly installed in the FontBook.
Please help!! Thank you.

Reema,
I followed most of your steps. I have a question reg. step 3 ie populating data in node 1.
Here is my code:
method WDDOINIT .
types: begin of zs,
zktokd type kna1-ktokd,
end of zs.
data: handle1 type ref to if_wd_context_node,
begin of zstruct,
zktokd type kna1-ktokd,
end of zstruct,
zitab type table of zs.
handle1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE1' ).
*select ktokd into corresponding fields of zstruct from kna1.
*append zstruct to zitab.
*endselect.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Sold-to party'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Goods recipient'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Payer'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Bill-to party'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Prospective Customer'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Competitor'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Sales partners'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Hierarchy Node'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Named List of Accounts'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Distribution center'.
append zstruct to zitab.
zstruct-zktokd = 'Payer'.
append zstruct to zitab.
handle1->bind_table( new_items = zitab ).
endmethod.
Please let me know if this is the best way to populate the node and then bind the table values from the node to the drop down box.
Thanks and Regards.
