How can I place a text field not directly on the left of the page but with an indent to the right?

Hi everybody,
I try to create a form in which I want to enter several item under each other
general info        Item 1               Item 2
                         Name 1            Name 2
                        Item 3               Item 4
and so on.
Since it is not possible to insert a table for something like that I would like to enter seperate text fields one underneath the other.
But every new line starts on the left side and I do not see any way to move a text field to the right with an indent so that "item 1", "Name 1" and "item 3" are aligned the same.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot and have a good 2015!
Oliver

Hi,
Insert a blank "Formatted Text" field on the far left, and shrink it down as much as you wish. Then insert your normal text field to the right of that.
I hope that helps,
Brian

How can you create a text field without a label?

I am creating a form and need to create identical text boxes one below another and for space reasons do not want a label on each one. How do I do this without selecting multiple fields?

Sorry you can't remove the label of a field. When the Label is on the Left (either left aligned or right aligned) then you can resize the label (using drag and drop) but there is still a min width that the label must have. You can also change the Label to be Above but that might not work with your spacing either.

Unfortunately I don't have the API. My Adobe Reader installation updating to version XI failed, and subsequent attempts to fall back on the X version are blocked by the partial install of XI. Damn Adobe stuff.
Could someone please post the relevant part of the API to give me some pointers, please.
I ha mucked about with some information I found on the Web, and come up with the following, which fails because I can't work out how to address the current document with the variable myDoc.

How can I embed a text field inside a text object in a fillable form?

I am a new user of LiveCycle and am slowly figuring things out. I don't really understand any of the scripts-- thatlevel is way beyod me. I am hoping that someone can tell me an easy way to insert a fillable text field into a text object. I have been assigned a huge project of converting some very old Word forms into fillable PDF forms. I have done okay with many of them, but ran into a snag with some of the form letters that our employees need to fill out. Basically, there is a block of text (the body of the letter) in which employees will need to be able to type in a date that the recipient of the letter must respond by. I have read up on floating fields and thought that was the solution to my problem, but it seems that floating fields are really just meant to be filled from a data source rather than having info typed into them.
Can anyone help-- I am desperate at this point. There has to be an easy way to insert a fillable text field object or a Date/Time object into a block of text so that the surrounding text will expand and contract around the length of the date entered (this is important, as many of these letters pertain to legal matters and cannot have blank spaces in them).

Hi,
You can split your text object into different parts and place text fields inbetween the parts. With a little manuvering, you can make it look good.
An alternative is to place text field(s) outside the letter body (and set the visibilaty to screen only). Use these to populate the floating field.
or
script the external text fields (or the subform containing them) to be "hidden" using the "Preprint" event, then revealing them ("visible") again using the "Postprint" event.
Hope this helps, good luck!

How can i make a text field expand

I have over 7 paragraphs that im inserting into atext field (even if i had type)
The expand textbox merely keeps going horizontally not vertically. How can i stop it going horizontally and go down the page and on the next page if it needs it.
PLEASE PLEASE

Hi,
Try by checking expand to fit in height(it is present under layout palette of designer)and checl "allow multiple lines" under object palette and save the form as "dynamic pdf" and check.

How can i change bookmarks text colors, not toolbar text color.

I know how to change color of toolbar text but still want to change the text color of bookmarks.

You can experiment with code like this in the userChrome.css file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-text {color:#000!important; background-color:-moz-dialog!important}
</nowiki></pre>

How can I add a text watermark, NOT an image

I would like to make a watermark for all of my images, but I want to vary the location it is at every time. Also, I'd like to change the color of the text according to the image. Is there a plugin out there that allows for this?
Thanks,
Zach

Zach -- try it again.
The watermark blend modes are there to help show your watermark on varying backgrounds. The Blend Mode selector is on the Watermark tab. Try all of them.
You are not limited to images. Here is a screenshot of the Border FX text tab. The options are extensive (and include separate colors for stroke and fill).

How can I count only text fields that have been used?

Hi,
I'm using Livecycle Designer for a dynamic form. I have a section of the form that contains field for the user to enter goals and then rate the goal. I'd like to count only the text fields with entries and then have the total number of rates divided by the number of text field entries.
Row 1 , column 1 -- Goal is to pick up 5 apples.   Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
Row 2, column 1 - Goal is to pick up 5 pears. Row 1, column 2 - the rate given is 5
Two goals for a total rating of 10     --- 10 divided by 2 = 5
Is it possible to count only those fields that are populated?
Also, is it possible to create an error message if the user entered 5 goals but only rated 4 of them?

You could do a simple check for null and increase a counting variable if there's a value in the field. Here's a sample:
var goalCount = 0;
if (field1.rawValue != null){
     goalCount = goalCount + 1;
if (field2.rawValue != null){
     goalCount = goalCount + 1;
if (field3.rawValue... etc.
this.rawValue = totalPoints/goalCount;
where totalPoints is a sum of the values in the goal fields. This script is javascript and should be placed in the calculate event of the field showing your average score.

How can I place Tagged Text in InDesign

I use tagged text in the files I place
in InDesign. For example,
<cn>This is the chapter number
<ct>This is the chapter title
<cst>This is the chapter subtitle
<bt>This is the beginning of the body text
<ah>This is an A-level head
and so on. In PageMaker, there was a checkbox in the "place"
dialogue box named "Read tags." I checked that, and when I placed the file in the template (in which I had the styles defined), the whole chapter appeared with the formatting I wanted for each style.
I can't find the equivalent checkbox in InDesign. I can't believe it is no longer there, but search as I do, I can't find it. There is a lot online about exporting tagged text, but where, oh where, is my checkbox for placing tagged text? If someone knows where it is, I'd be very grateful.

I used to download Clipart for my old windows machine. How can I save images (that are not my photos) to import into a Pages document please?

I'm just a simple home letter writer so no complex solutions please!
