How do I create a form with text fields that can continue to multiple pages with out it over lapping

I have created a form in Livecycle and have made every object a sub field. But I am still having the same probably. The text field only continues on to a second page and overlaps the footer I have created at the bottom of the page. I am new to livecycle and have tried a lot of different things to fix this problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've found this blog http://blogs.uoregon.edu/developments/2010/12/29/pdf-making-text-fields-grow-to-accommodat e-text/ and this example file : flowableTest.pdf? Is it close to what you search? I cannot go deeper into example now, but will.

Create a fillable form that can extend to multiple pages

We have created a form to type statements. The statement can be as short as 1 page long or could be as long as 20. At the end of the statement, the person signs his/her name. Can you create a field that can adjust to multiple pages long?

Not a single field, but you can create one or more pages on the fly that have separate fields using page templates. This means that the field on page 1 won't automatically flow to the one on page 2 when it's full, but that may be OK.

I need to get the value of a text field that is located in another page JSP

I need to get the value of a text field that is located in another page JSP. How do I do that?

Well you see, I have a page at angelfire.com, which
does not support JSP. I want to call a script located
at mycgisever and then, when pressing a link on the
former page, the JSP page is loaded, and the script
get the value from the text field on the OTHER page.
Is this possible?I know nothing about cgi. But that should not prevent me from understanding what can and cannot be done, assuming cgi is sort of comparable with jsps.
I'm unable to understand your description clearly. Try to explain it better. Give precise steps that you intend to follow and I should be able to help you further.
So you have a page1.
You hit submit from page1.
That goes to the cgiserver.
From the cgiserver, programmatically load up the jsp.
search this for the text field.
Display it on your page2.
Is that what you are trying to do?
BTW, won't be able to help you with cgi scripting at all. Can help with Java and Jsp.

How do I create simple form with issue result request

How do I create the form, on which took seats GRID with result of the request from table Oracle. I do not use iAS.

Thank you for this George, however a couple of sticking points. When I copied and pasted the code over to my file it didn't work, even when I pointed the code to my combo and checked all settings and properties of the other objects. The unusual thing was that I had to copy all the boxes over from your file with the script and it worked, it even hid and revealled my original objects which I wanted. I then called the code from my original combo and deleted the one I had copied from your file and all was OK
The second thing is that when I try and edit the combo box, I can only move between one or two of the options set in the box, although I can see all the other options, I cannot select them the cusor simply jumps to the top options. I had to delete all the options and retype them all in assigning the 0,a,b,c, etc. Although this works, when I go to edit, it still only allows me to select up to the first four in the edit, but the form appears to be working fine. Is there a special order which i need to folow, can I have labels in the combo with spaces e.g. "family appointment"?
And finally, I added some background colours to the section_a_backgrounds (b,c,d) also, but these do not work, even though the text copies across into the section_background. I'm confused with all these issues, should it not have worked as it was???
I am using acrobat X pro, does this make a difference?

HELP!! How do I create hyperlink in a text field?

Hi!
I've been going through the message boards and I am not finding my answer. I have created a form utilizing LiveCycle. I have made the form so that it can be fillable via Reader Extended PDF. I need to be able to put a link in a text field that the next user can just click on it, and it will take them to a document in SharePoint for review. I've tried changing the text field to rich text in LiveCycle, but the steps to add the link in the PDF is too lengthly and not friendly. Once I finally get it to put the link in, the end user cannot just click on it. They have to take additional steps. Someone on the boards mentioned something about putting a button next to the field that will convert the text of the link in the previous text field to a link, but I cannot find those instructions or understandable instructions. The management wants it to be where you just click on the link. How do I do this? I am not a techie, so I need instructions in layman's terms.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you!

I'm in the same boat as you, inasmuchas I taught myself LC. I've tried to replicate your issue. I'm trying to understand where the issue actually lies.
First, I created a new document to test. I dragged the text field onto the document and stretched it to accomodate what I was going to type and entered: http://www.google.com/something
This works as intended.
Next I tried a link similar to yours in our own intranet: http://intranet/WebPages/support.aspx
That also worked.
Now, for what you're actually working with: a SharePoint document.
I tried to paste a link to a document that I created on our Sharepoint site. The link failed! I noticed that the end of the link was truncated (something like 7 characters). So, I tried a shorter link. That worked!
What else is happening when they click the link? Are they simply being asked to "check out" the document? Are you getting an error message like "an error has occured while opening the page"?

How do I create a text field that can be manipulated by the user?

I have created a form that will be changed by the user from month to month. In this form they may have the need to make some of the font bold.
The text fields that will end up being bold will not be the same every time so I can't format the field to be bold.
Is there any way to allow the user to be able to choose whether a text field is bold or not?
Thanks,
T_Sands

Thanks GKaiseril. When I do that and go to preview the form I see where the properties are listed as an option, but they are in light gray so I can't select them. Any idea why this is happening?

How do I create a form with fixed fields for clients to complete?

I want to create a form in pages that I can then save as a pdf to load on my website so my clients can download and fill in the fields without messing with the overall formate of the sheet.

Sorry, not sure I am clear. I want a form w/ name, address, etc. I want to be able to send it as an email to people to fill out and also load it to my website for people to download, fill out, and email back to me.
My concern is I there are fields that they can write sentences and I want to control how much they write so it doesn't mess up the formatting when I go to print.
thanks

Can you create a user entered text field that flows content in a subform?

I am working on a conversion project taking a document library of over 600 forms from Word into PDF, for the most part it's simple and binding fields to the database schema and using subforms is working quite well - however, there are some instances where there is a combination of user entered fields mixed with database fields and in some cases the end user fields are all there are but the amount of content can vary from 250 characters to thousands. The project manager wants a PDF that enables users to enter whatever amount of text they need to and have the form layout function the way it does as if all fields were populated by the database - I don't know of a way to make that work unless content is entered in the schema first (or implement CM and have all users working in LiveCycle, but the database uses PDF, sothat's not an option right now).
If anyone has any ideas how to make these things work I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.
Thank you so much,
R

Hi,
    If you can post your form in the post, I can have a look at it and provide my feedback.
    I created a sample file for your reference..
    1) The Content property for the Page1 was set to Flowed.
    2) Each text box is placed inside a Subform which is also has the content property set to Flowed.
    3) In the Form Properties, under the Default tab, set the PDF render format as Dynamic XML form.
    4) In the Form Properties, under the Preview tab, set the Preview Type as "Interactive Form" and Preview Adobe XML Form as "Dynamic XML form". (this step is for the previewing the PDF in the designer).
    5) Finally save the form as Dynamic XML form. (File Menu -> Save As).
Hope this helps.
If you still have issues, please post your form..
Thanks
Srini

Create a Form in Acrobat Standard that can be filled out AND SIGNED using Free Reader

I am tasked with creating forms that can be read, filled out and signed and submitted electronically by users that have only the reader software. I am using Acrobat 5 standard. I have not yet found a way to successfully create a form field that would allow users to insert a signature of some sort. This signature does not have to be encrypted, or use the digital signature system Adobe Acrobat has where you create a profile, log in, etc. It could be as simple as the ability to insert a jpeg or other image of their handwritten signature. This is to avoid having to have them fill it out, and then print it and fax or scan it in. It would be great if they could fill it out and then just save it and email it. How would I do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks,
JOhn

With AA5, there is no capability to submit a signature - even electronic. You can create a form that can be filled out, signed in the sense of adding a name and date, and submit to a web site.
Insertion of images is not part of forms with AA5, but I think has become possible recently. Even so, they reader would also have to be compatible with the feature to be able to use it. If the typing of the name and the date would do, then you can add those fields - sort of the limit with AA5.
With AA5, they can not save the form with the data. They can submit the data as an FDF file to a web site. If you have control of the client machines, then you can consider e-mail since those issues can be worked out locally. Without control of the clients (like a general form on the web), don't bother with e-mail since there will always be some that have problems.

How do I create an e-mail graphic poster that can be sent out?

I need to create an e-mail poster advertisement for a
recreation area that
will be sent out to shareholders. I need to do this for work.
Does anyone
have any suggestions on how I would do this? Would I create
the web page and
then send the web page in an e-mail. I need it to show up
directly, not
through an attachment. Also, once created, this will be sent
out to
shareholders. How do I save this file to disk in what format
so that it can
be sent out by my boss. I am doing this as an
extra-curricular activity for
work. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
jmick

You can open the web page in a browser, select all, copy and
paste into Outlook. That works. i don't know about other email
progs.

How does one create a form with prefilled editable text in Acrobat Pro, such as for fliers or business cards that can be edited and saved by the end user in Reader?

Working on a Mac. Have seen examples so know it's possible.

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
// Here is the code
function PackagingArtwork()
{this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
// Here the code that spawns the template
var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
This is what the JS debugger said.

How do I create web forms with updateable mock up graphics?

I am interested in creating both web forms and pdfs that are able to update a mock up image, similar to those found on sites like zazzle and society6. The user enters text, picks a color, uploads an image, etc. and the mock up image is updated for them to review and ultimately submit for purchase. Can this be achieved without coding (in Muse perhaps), or with a minimum of coding knowledge? I assume it would be a process using several pieces of adobe software, I just don't know which ones or where to start looking for tutorials specific to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would start with Muse. If you have more experience with coding, using Dreamweaver. InDesign is not appropriate for what you're trying to do.

Is there a way to create a text field that shows on all slides?

I'm trying to create a "Revised On" date field that can be shown on every slide. Or, do I just have to copy and paste on all slides?
Thanks in advance.
- Michael

use the master slides
view > show master slides
click on the master slide that has a tick mark
add a text box to master slide and any other objects that you want on every slide; enter text, then position, size and set colour
click on the normal slide and add other content that is to be seen on that slide only
adding new slides will use the background design

How do I create a dropdown with three options so that only one is visible in a form (non-flowable)

I'm working on a form which needs to provides three options for the user out of a drop down list. When the user chooses one option, only that subform is to be visible. Two of the three subforms are text fields, and the third subform is a series of fields which are editable by the user.
How do i create a dropdown with three options in it, so that in each instance only one subform is visible? This needs to happen in the same space on the main form.

Hi Nellie,
Here is the form back to you. There were three main issues:
In order for dynamic behaviour, like showing and hiding, the form must be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.
While you can use a minus sign when naming objects and subforms, it will cause scripts to fail. I have changed the name of the subforms so that they now use an underscore.
The dropdown had specified values in the Object > Binding palette (1, 2, 3), so the script needs to use these in the if statements.
When sharing forms on Acrobat.com, the best option is to select the file in your workspace and then click Publish. This will make it available to anyone who has the published URL.
I hope that helps,
Niall

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.
