Global binding text disappears once you move to the next field

I have created this pdf form using Acrobat 7 Professional. now I have ver.8. I also have Adobe Desinger 8.0. I wanted two field to have the same data, so I used global binding. In the preview mode, it works fine. I have add reader extension rights and security to the document. Now when I open it in Adobe Reader 8 and fill the form, it will let me type in and shows up in both the fields, once I move to the next field, the name in the field disappears from both the fields. Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue. Fields are named independently (my one and only global field is set on the master page, named "Beryllium"). Other fields function as they should and binding is set to normal.
When I type into my Beryllium global field, then move into another text field below, the typing I entered into "Beryllium" disappears and does not carry over to subsequent pages.
Anyone help with this frustrating issue?

I can not use the tab key to move to the next field or use the shift and tab to move to the prior field in forms.

After updating to 7.0.1 I can not always use the tab key to move to the next field or use the shift and tab to move to the prior field in forms. This always worked in previous versions and it's much needed for my type of work. Does anyone know of a setting to activate this? If not can the Firefox developers work on this issue (please). I love Firefox but desperately need this feature to work correctly. Thanks!

I tried in safe mode and the tab key worked just fine. I'm not sure about all web forms I've only recently updated to 7.0. The wen form I was using was for appraisal purposes and it has multiple data fields to fill in and also drop down menus to select from. Might I always have to use Firefox in safe mode to be able to utilize the tab between field feature? Thanks for your help!

Data moves to the next field with 'tab' or 'click' on writable pdf.

Anyone experience data moving to the next field with tab or click on writable pdf?

Thanks Frank. I might do that.
But I managed to find a temporary solution..yay!!!! :)
I added in the clientListener for the inputListOfValues' valueChange event
<af:clientListener method="launchPopUp" type="valueChange"/>
and in javascript I call the TAB action of AdfLovInternalEvent
<af:resource type="javascript">
function launchPopUp(evt) {
AdfLovInternalEvent.queue(evt.getSource(),AdfLovInternalEvent.ACTION_TAB,true);
</af:resource>
so it's forcing to perform the tab action when there is value change. doesn't matter tab or enter or mouse click on something else.
it seems to work for now..
I'll have to test it out a few more times to see if there is anything I missed.

How do you move automatically to the next field of a form after scanning a barcode?

Hi, I have been playing around with a barcode scanner (by the way I dont have a clue) and I've converted a form into a PDF document. I'm trying to move to the next field after the data has been populated in a previous field automatically. I'm not sure if this is done within Adobe Acrobat it self or on the scanner.
The scanner has several different modes, TERMINATION CHAR - CR, TERMINATION - LF, TERMINATION CR+LF and DISABLED.
I believe one of them put a ENT after the data from a barcode and one of the others doesnt. Any ideas?

Are you using a handheld scanner and scanning the barcode on screen and wanting the focus to be in the next field after scanning the barcode?
Otherwise, I am not sure what you are asking. The scanner itself won't do this for you if you actively filling out a form. The field which receives the scanned data could have an exit event which has a setFocus method taking you to the field it specifies. (haven't tested this in a long time, so my presumption is once the data is received it will exit, but focus could remain. In that case, another event would be needed. However, A manual <TAB> will force an exit of the field, and the setFocus() function will excute taking you to the field specified in the method.

Why can't I see my data which was entered and saved on a form when i try to reopen it? it always worked before until this spring 2014. The data is actually there when I click on a box but disappears when I go to the next box. I have a Mac.

I am using a Mac and I have always filled out the same form (ocf-6 from ontario insurance companies, application for expenses) It stopped letting me go back and open the previously saved forms which i filled out and I have saved monthly for the past 5 years. Now when I open a previously saved month /file I cannot see the data I inputed. The data is there because when i highlight a box the data appears. then when i move onto the next field/box it disappears. I tried to highlight the whole document but nothing shows up. This problem started in the spring ,2014.

Once you save that to a location on your system.
Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
1. In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
2. Select Go to Folder
3. Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
5. Launch Acrobat
Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.

Is there a way to link text fields, so when you reach the end of one line it moves to the next?

I often use Acrobat Pro to create forms, whether it be from an existing document or from scratch, and this has always irritated me. I know you can create a text field and select the Multi-line option; however, this is not what I am looking to do. I have a form that has a Yes or No Radio Button, then below it says "If yes, please explain:" followed by 3 lines to respond. When I run it through the Form Creator, it places three text fields on the response lines - as it should. The first line is shorter because of the text, which is why I cannot use the Multi-line option. So is there a way to link these three text fields, so that when I reach the end of the first line it stops and automatically moves to the next?
Here is a picture of what I am looking at:

These types of lines are a left-over from printed forms. There's no reason
to keep using them if your form is digital.
The best approach is to combine the fields to a single multiline field, and
get rid of the first line. Trying to link text fields together is very
tricky. I haven't yet to see it done properly.

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

Can I use action build to fade one table row as I move to the next row in the table?

I have built a table with 6 rows. Right now,I am building the table row by row when I play the slide. Is there a way to fade or dissolve one row when I move to the next row in the table? I want to be able to de-emphasize the row I just discussed when I move to the next row in the table. I can fade the entire table by invoking that action but I do not seem to be able to use this action one row at a time. Thanks for your comments and assistance.

you will have to use a workaround to get the exact effect you described
create a table with out any text
use text tool to add text and position in each table cell
select the text boxes( command click) in the first row and group them (arrange > group)
use a, build in, to display text and then a, build out, to remove it
repeat the above for the other rows

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Hey gregery,
Please let me know what Acrobat version are you using.
Also, go to File> Properties> Security and check whether form filling is allowed or not as shown below:

When I click on Backspace in Contact name the cursor moves to the next tab

While editing a contact first name, when I click on 'Backspace' in First Name the last character of the name is deleted and the cursor automatically moves to the next tab which is the Middle Name.

If you are talking about searches from - http://www.google.com/ - are you logged into a Google account all the time? If so, check your "Search Settings" from the "gear" in the upper-right corner of that Google search page and see if you have '''Open search results in a new browser window.''' check-marked, at the bottom of that preferences page. When that is check-marked and you have Tab options in Firefox set to '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', you will get search results always opening in a new tab instead of the same tab. As to why that works different for "sponsored links" I don't know, I haven't seen the "sponsored links" for years now, I have a GM script that blocks those advertisements.

Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be). Any suggestions?

Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

Flash CS5: Is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe?

I know there are keyboard shortcuts to move to the next and previous frames -- "." and "," but they're not really what I'm referring to. Also, these keys don't necessarily move to the next and previous frames, rather it just seems to move the red playhead instead of the blue highlighted box (which represents the current frame). This is something I'm also confused about with this keyboard shortcut.
I would like to know though, if there is a keyboard shortcut to move to the next keyframe (each frame that begins with a dot). Thanks for your help.

While I am not quite sure what you mean with
"each frame that begins with a dot"
you can use jsfl to program your own macros/shortcuts
