How do I center a text field when input can be single or multi-line?

I'm creating a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and have almost everything the way I want it.  One of my last problems is trying to get a text in a text field centered.  The input is sometimes a single line and sometimes multi-line.  If I set it up so the multi-line entries are centered, then the single line looks off ... and vice versa.  Is there any way to have the text automatically centered in the text field regardless of whether it's single or multi-line?

Unfortunately, there's no way to set up a field so that the text is guaranteed to be vertically centered in both cases. If you set it up so that rich text formatting is enabled, it's possible for a user to vertically center, but it's not something you can preconfigure so that it will remain in effect when the field is cleared. For a user to do this, with the focus set to the field they'd have to display the Properties toolbar (Ctrl+E), click the "More..." > Paragraph > Alignment > Text Middle [button]

  • How do I auto populate the date into text fields when form is first opened?

    Hello,
    I read all about the changing the scripts but its not really working for me. I was hoping someone could help me with directions on how to auto populate the date into designated text fields when my adobe document is first opened?
    I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9.
    Thank you,
    Sheri

    When you add a new document JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Script Name (enter something) > Add), you will be given a function skeleton by default. Just delete it and enter the line of code I showed above. Now, whenever the document is opened, the code will get triggered and the field will be updated with the current date. There is no "Document Open" action (at least that's accessible via Acrobat's UI), but this is effectively the same thing since any document-level JavaScripts are executed when the document is opened.

    if :p3_note_id is null
    then
    insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
    Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

  • Retaining the cursor on a Text Field when error on the field

    Hi,
    We have a requirement, where when we tab out of a text field, the data entered gets validated and exceptions are caught using array list and then thrown on top of the page.
    However, we have a requirement, that on tab out, the cursor should remain in the same field in case there are errors thrown on that field otherwise should move to the next field.
    My Approach is
    1) Capture the tabout event in PFR.
    2) If the validation returns erorr messages, do a forwardImmediately to CurrentPage
    3) Set the focus in PR and throw the exception.
    I read the discussion on the link How to set focus on a textinput/poplist using PPR
    and tried the same approach but below are my observations.
    Approach - 1) WITH FIRE PARTIAL ACTION on text field.
    Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown and I am not able to see the cursor.
    Input =  Valid  , then I see the cursor in the next text field, which is correct.
    Approach - 2) WITH FIRE ACTION
    Input = Invalid, then error message is thrown, the text in the textfield looks selected, which is the required functionality.
    Input =  Valid, then still I see the same text as selected. Here I dont want the text to be selected and want the cursor to move to the next field. This is not happening.
    Please let me know where exactly I am committing the mistake.
    Thanks

  • How do I make my text field automatically upper case?

  • Position cursor in text field when form is opened

    Another newbee question I'm afraid!
    I want to position the cursor in a text field when a user opens the form. I can't find a way to do it but I'm pretty sure it's straightforward!
    Also, can I remove fields from the tab order?
    Thanks (for your help and patience!)

    Hi,
    You would select the object that you want to receive focus and put the following in the docReady event.
    xfa.host.setFocus("this");
    The docReady event is a good one to use, because it only fires once.
    The tab order can be set in the Tab Order tab. Depending on the version of LC Designer that you have, the flexibility will vary. However I would do this as a last step, as any changes can throw the tab order out of sequence.
    Note that tab order is greatly affected by the relevant x/y coordinates of objects and where objects are in separate subforms.
    Hope this helps,
    Niall

  • Printing all text in a multi-line text field??  Can it be done?

    I was wondering if there is a way to print out a multi-line field and have all text entered print as well.  Currently, anytime someone enters more information in a multi-line text field on our form than is set to show without scrolling, when a PDF is created for printing from the results page, only the text that fits within the specified size prints.  You can scroll within the PDF and read it all, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all of the text to show and have that field resize accordingly on the printed copy.
    Is there a way?  Thanks.

    Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters?  Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

  • How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

    how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
    thank you

    There are a couple of ways of doing this:
    If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
    If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
    I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:
