How can I made a text box to accept initials or signature without signature field?

I create forms for my clients using Adobe Pro 9. Due to the potential lack of computer literacy of their customers, my clients would like to make a field that would accept an initial or a signature without the steps needed for a digital signature.
The steps would be 1) customer opens form with Acrobat Reader; 2) click on Fill & Sign Tools, then create the initials to use; 3) drag the initials to the textbox. At this point the size of the initials would correspond with the size of the text box.
I have experimented with having the text box property Appearance-Text-Font size: Auto. However when I opened the PDF in reader, I would have to resize the signature block.

Hi bluecraby2k,
If I understand your question, you don't want to use the Signature form field, because your client feels that might be too complicated for some users. Is that correct?
The Place Signature option on the Fill & Sign tab allows you to drag a signature onto the page, but not directly into a text form field. I don't believe there's a one-to-one relationship between the form field and the Place Signature option.
I'm going to move this discussion to the Forms forum, so the experts who visit that forum can chime in.
Best,
Sara

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

Hello,
After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
Do you understand what I mean?

How can I make a text box with 2 columns?

I can't figure out how to make a text box with two columns. I made one in pages and pasted it into iWeb but it seems to have turned it into an image when I published to a folder. I want to keep it text so the search engines will index it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, David

You will have to create two text boxes, configure them as columns and then paste into the first and cut where you want the columns to end and paste the remainder into the second column as on this page . I've tried saving a two column Word document as a web page and it just converts it to one column.

How can I find a text box with a specific word in it ?

Hi,
I have hundreds of settlement names on a map created with the text tool. How can I search on the name of one of them and find it on my map ?
I am with FH9 but the method would no doubt be backwards compatible from MX. If it isnt I would launch MX just for this exercise.
Would this also work if the word was part of a text box text ?
I have the luxury of it being the entire text box !
Cheers

If you have one large text box to search for the word, select it, then go to EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT...
Type in your word and click FIND NEXT button. If you have multiple occurances of the name, keep clicking the FIND NEXT button until the word hilites.
If you have scattered text boxes on your map, don't select any of them but still go through the EDIT>FIND & REPLACE>TEXT... routine I mentioned. FreeHand will look through all text boxes to find your word.
Oh yeah, this works the same in FreeHand 8 thru FHMX.

How can I add linked text boxes to Contents?

I have a lot of sections in my chapters, and I think they are all coming in to the TOC, but the automatic text box doesn't have a blue tab, so I cannot add a new text box to continue showing the sections. How can I make this show up? There's no layout I can manipulate for the TOC, so I cannot make the text editable, which is the suggestion that I have seen for regular linked text boxes.

Hello,
If you want to add image to it's background then you can select the SubMenu and use the fill option to fill an image to it.
Make sure you uncheck "Edit together" option in Menu properties so that you can add different images to different submenus.
And if you want to edit the text and add images to it, I would suggest you to use Manual menu. Where you can customize your own Menu and add links to the Menus and Submenus.
Please have a look at the screenshot showing how to create Manual menu :
Hope this helps.

How can I autosize a text box and when I change text the objects below it got auto pushed down and up?

Now the text box seems at absolutely position and fixed size.
What I need is when I change text it grows or shrinks accordingly. And all objects after it also move up or down. How can I do that?
Thanks.

The Text will not scale with the Textbox.

How can I view the text box history

I don't know what it is called specifically, but I need a plugin or something that allows me to clear and view the history of what was typed into text boxes. You know how if you start typing into a text box, firefox will come up with suggestions from previous entries? That's what I mean.
Thanks.

That's called '''Form & Search History'''
You can use '''Clear Recent History''' feature to clear various History items.
* see this article -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History
Check and tell if its working.

How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

How can i Edit a Text layer of an After effects projects without opening it in After effects ?

hello Adobe i'm a web developper student, and i want to build a website that can help to edit text layers of an animation made by After effects of Flash professional
so how can i get or export an editable file of a video project that i can edit by coding ? i'm a beginner in multimedia.
thanks

That's outdated tech. XFL has been scrapped and just the same there has been no notable work on AE's XML project export. You need to use scripts like pt_OpenSesame to export the projects to an intermediary editable text file or create your own set of tools, including possibly expressions as well.

How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
Is there any way around this?

Hello again
Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
Cheers... Rick

How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
Thanks,

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?
