Formatting Text field in Adobe Forms

Hi guys,
I'm trying to print text with a bigger font size, but it doesn't work... I always got the same result when printing.
I'm changing the font size in the Font palette, but no changes.
Could you please help me?
Regards,
David

  • Making some words Bold/Underlined of an editable text field in Adobe Form?

    I have a a requirement of making some words Bold/Underlined of an editable text field in Adobe Form. I have created a "Text Field" and in "Value" tab as default value I have written the textline and made the field Type as "User entered - optional" so that at runtime user can edit that text. Now they want some words of the whole text line should display as Bold and some as Underlined. Can you please help me to meet this requirement.

    Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

  • How to generate barcode from text field in adobe form???

    hello everyone,
    I'm new in this forum and I hope that there are people who can answer my question.
    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I have converted a Word template to a PDF template and everything works fine.
    I would like to generate a barcode of the contents of a text field (by the users), for example the following format 0123-A123456-11.
    I have tried in various ways but it has not worked. The barcode becomes unstructured and unreadable.
    Does anyone know how to do it step by step?
    Best regards!

    Hi,
    You can insert dynamic barcodes into your form using LC Designer. 
    You should do a search here as dynamic barcodes has been covered by by Steve Walker in detail. For example:
    BARCODE 128 - possibility of binding 2 data fields to the barcode
    Paperforms barcodes
    Using Barcode in Acroforms
    However one thing to bear in mind is that dynamic barcodes will not work in Reader unless the form has been Reader enabled using LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product. Option 4 in this summary:
    Good luck,

  • How to display Formatted text view in adobe forms

    Hi Folks,
    We have a element formatted text edit/view in webdynpro so it is easy to make the text formates(Bullets, font sizes, etc..) in webdynpro, but the same feature is not available in Adobe forms designer...I don't find any element in the Adobe Library...
    If any body have an idea how to display the formatted text in adobe, please let me know the procedure.
    I have a html tag related data in my Ztable..I want to display this converted string from HTML Tab on adobe, please explain me how to fix this issue.
    Thanks,
    Naresh.

    Hi Juergen,
    I found Your blog and found it  really interesting... though I was not able to use it: I (like Jun Li is asking, I guess) need to use a dynamic text, containing formatting informations (according the xhtml syntax).
    I tried to pass it to the form by an ABAP-dictionary based interface and by means of the context (in a webdynpro page), but both tries failed.
    Some suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou

  • Setting a Text field in adobe form non editable

    Hi Experts,
    I have generated a Adobe form using webdynpro java. I have  couple text fields. They are binded with some values which a RFC returns. When I see the output These text fiels values which are populated from backend are editable. Can anyone suggest me how to make these text fields non editable.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    You have to set the properties of these text field as readonly.
    For this you have to select the text field ... Go to the Object Pallete.
    There you will see three Tabs Field, Value and Binding.
    You have to click on Value Tab  and there you have select the Type as Read Only.
    If you do not have Object Pallet open .. go to Menu Bar Window and Click Object
    This will solve your problem.

  • To make TEXT field in adobe forms dynamic

    Hi Experts,
    I have requirement in adobe forms where based on certain condition I want change the TEXT field accordingly.
    Example if material number in of gas type than text will be "GAS MATERIAL" and then populating corresponding material number.
    If itu2019s of hard goods type than text has be "HARD GOODS MATERIAL".
    Please let me how this requirement can be achieved ASAP.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Aks.

    Hi,
    Yes you can definitely make a field dynamic. Bind the text fields with varibale of type Material Number and its description which will have to create in the context (Interface) of the adobe forms. These values you can pass from your driver program or Web-Dynpro.

  • Formatted text and smartforms/Adobe forms

    Hello all,
    can anybody please tell me if there is a way to display formatted text that was edited with FormattedTextEdit (or is there any other ui element that allows me to format text?) in smartforms/adobe forms with all formats? Also, is it possible to display graphics in the smartforms/adobe forms that was prior uploaded to the application server?
    Thanks and regards, Oliver

    Hi Raja,
    I implenented SAVE_TEXT AND READ_TEXT like you advised but the smartforms still doesn't show the text formats edited via BTF editor.  I even tried to convert it to ITF using "CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT" but it wouldn't help either. For example the text
    <HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> <P>This is a test text in Times New Roman</P> <P><FONT face=Arial>This is a test text in Arial</FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>This is a test text in Arial and bold</STRONG></FONT></P></BODY></HTML>
    would exactly appear in this manner (using text element in smartforms) and not formatted. Do you any other ideas solving this issue?
    Thanks and regards, Oliver

    Write the following script at the exit event of your text field.
    if ( $.rawValue == null )
    then
    $host.messageBox("Please Enter Value")
    $host.setFocus("TextField1");

  • Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

    Hello All,
    Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
    Thanks,

    Naresh,
    Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
    <YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
    For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
    if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
      TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
    You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

  • How can I format a field in the form creator?

    How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
    I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

    This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but  a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field  "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
    Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure  to assign unique form field  names.

  • How to increase the height of the text field in Adobe Central

    How do I increase the height of the text field in Adobe Central?  I know how to change the font size but visually the height of the text field (<0.5cm) looks too small.
    I want to be able to print the form and fill it out by hand. But the text field height is too small.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi;
    Are you saving your form as a PDF from FormsCentral to distribute the PDF form? 
    In the FormsCentral form authoring tools you do not have control over the size of the field.  If you are using a PDF however you can edit that PDF in Acrobat after saving from FormsCentral and can edit the size, border, color etc of the fields. 
    If you want to edit a FormsCentral PDF you'll want to review this FAQ:

  • Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

    I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!
    Jason

    If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.

  • Is it mandatory to bind each & every CONTEXT element to a text field on the form?

    Hello,
    I am developing an Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
    I have 3 elements (say, 1_Name, 2_Street and 3_City) in the CONTEXT and drawn ONLY 2 input enabled TEXT fields (for items - Name and Street of conetext) and then, BINDED them.
    I did not put any associate text field for CITY and no chance of binding!
    Pls. let me know that, Now can i utilize this CITY (of context) element containign data in the Java script? is this CITY is VISIBLE in the java script, even though it did not get BINDED with any text field on the form?
    THank you

    Thank you.
    If it got BINDED, i knew how to point/get/visible the CITY element (of CONTEXT) containming data by using the below java script,
    (this.rawValue == "A") or i can also get it with script of VISITOR.Page3.Subform11.CITY.rawvalue = "A"
    If i do NOT bind CITY to any TEXT FIELD of FORM, then, how i can retrieve/get/visible/point CITY content?

  • How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

    Hello all,
    How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
    I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
    All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
    Declare
    v_valid boolean;
    Begin
    IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    END IF;
    return v_valid;
    END;
    My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
    Thanks

    See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..
