How do I create a text field that automatically enters the same info on proceeding pages

I know this is a basic question for Acrobat Pro, but I'm a newbie at it.  Basically, I work with pdf forms in education and I would like to figure out a way where if I enter for example someone's birthdate in page 1, and it automatically enters it in pages 2, 3, 4 and so on of the same document.
Also, along the same lines, is there an easy way to be able to edit multiple pages of a document at once. Example: A lot of the people at my office that use the copy and paste feature in the pdf documents, and often overlook changing the "he" to a "she" and "his" to a "her" and as a result we end up with filled forms that use the incorrect sex.
I apologize in advance if I'm not being very clear, but is the best way I can describe my problem.
Thanks

1. You can duplicate the field. Right-click it using the Select Object Tool and select Duplicate. You can then select the page range.
Otherwise, you can copy&paste it, or create a new field and give it the same name as the original.
2. No.

  • 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,

    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?

  • Does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box?

    does anyone know how I can create a text field in a pdf document that will multiply a total in another box? I’m making an interactive pdf for an order form (attached), and I need to find a way for the “total quantity” number to multiply by 9 and total in the “Amount Due” box.

    Hey Gary,
    Have a look at this post: Re: horizontal scrolling similar to excel
    Andy's reply will show you how to make a table scroll horizontally, but it will be tough to accomplish it in some sort of easily replicable way. I am working on a JQuery extension that will help accomplish this, but I have had my time invested in another project at the moment.
    Good Luck,

  • How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?

    OK...this is a probably a very basic question but I'm not sure how to word it clearly.
    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project? What I mean is that I have a bout 50 minutes of video and I want to make two DVDs using different clips from this original 50 minutes of footage. It would be a real pain to have to re-import the video AGAIN for the second DVD. I suppose I could drop anything I don't want to burn to DVD back into the clips pane but that would wipe out all my transitions wouldn't it? I want to save each project in their “raw” form so I can burn additional DVDs later otherwise I would just do them one at a time and not care about one of them being destroyed.
    Wow...that was a mess. Does anyone understand what the heck I’m asking? I hope so.

    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
    You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

  • How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?

    How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?
    I need to make a popup in flash on the same frame. Basiclly like you reach the frame and randomly (I know how to do random stuff) a popup might appear saying like you got a prize; and I want the stuff in the back to stay the same.
    Please help me!
    Thankx in advance.

    Whatever frame you intend to make this movieclip appear in, you first set it to be invisible using...
    popupName._visible = false; // popupName is whatever instance name you use
    And for whatever random code you use to trigger it to appear you just set the _visible property to be true...
    popupName._visible = true;

  • [O365] [EWSMA 2.0] [C#] [Windows] How do you create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365

    In OWA for Office 365 you can create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node on "Peoples" tab. This folder ends up appearing under the "Contacts" folder in the exchange store. However, if you attempt to create
    a contact folder under "My Contacts" using Outlook it ends up under "Other Contacts" node in OWA for O365. Even if you attempt to position folder at the root of exchange store it still places it under the "Other Contacts" folder.
    The same is also true if you attempt to create a folder using EWS. Is there a way to create a folder using EWS that will appear under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365? I've tried the following with no luck:
    ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = new ContactsFolder(EwsService);
    myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
    // Set other properties
    myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
    and
    ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = newContactsFolder(EwsService);
    myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
    // Set other properties
    myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot);

    Hi Tony,
    Lots of questions, here goes:
    CAN YOU: Yes.  You can create multiple server nodes.  You can add a server node by going into the Visual Administrator and clicking the add node button.  Make sure you have the required space on the physical drive to accomodate the space needed for the new node (hint: check the space of your existing node).
    PERFORMANCE: Yes, maybe.  If you are running on a 32bit OS, yes, this will definitely improve your performance as you are most likely memory constrained at the moment.  If you are running on an x64 or 64bit OS, you will find that performance will improve but only to the extent that you have memory free and that you have available CPU for the new node.  Remember Java processes are CPU hogs at times, especially during startup, and the more of them you have, the more CPU you need.  Also, watch out for garbage collections.  Be sure to tune your instance to with incrementals and fulls in mind.  Another benefit of multiple nodes is the HA you get by default when you add more than 1 node.  Now if 1 node should crash or restart, your portal is still running and accessible on the other node.
    PARAMETERS: Yes and no.  For java startup parameters, you can create a template under the global --> servers to have your parameters be all the same  When you create a node, those parameters will be used.   But, your currently configured child configuration parameters will not be reflected in the new instance since those parameters are taken from the global (parent).  This is what the global is for and you should consider adjusting the global if you want your child nodes to have consistant values.
    Let me know if you have more questions.

  • How do I create a .llb file that holds all the subVIs used in a VI?

    Hi
    I wish to create a .llb file that holds all the subVIs(~200) used in my main VI.
    When I open my main VI, and look into the 'show VI hierarchy' I see a lot of subVIs, so to copy all these subVIs into the library file is going to be really time consuming. I am hoping there is an option in Labview by which I could automatically put all these subVIs into one library file?
    Thank you

    In your toplevel VI, go to "File..save with options".
    Now select "Development distribution", press save, and give it a name for the llb.

  • How do I create a .llb file that includes only the subVIs used in a VI?

    hi....
    can anybody help me ...i wanna creat a library file that holds only the sub-VIs that are running in particular main VI .
    are there options for that in labview??

    I don't think understand the answer. From just the top level VI, do like I said and an llb will be created with the top level and all subVIs. You can also edit the llb (Tools>Edit VI Library) and make your main VI top level. A note of caution. An llb was originally designed as a means of storing VIs with extended names. With modern OS's allowing long file names, an llb is less useful except as a convenient means of distributing a group of VIs from one location to another. This would be done as a final distribution such as an instrument driver or to another developer who would then convert the llb to a folder. There are several problems with keeping the development VIs in an llb. One is that it doesn't work with any form of source code cont
    rol. Another is that a corrupt VI in an llb can and has made the entire llb unreadable so unless you are absolutely religous about backups, you made find yourself in deep trouble some day.

  • 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.

  • How to create-Form text field to simultaneously preview the text over an image

    I am trying to make a web page similar to the link below…where when a customer types in the form text field, and simultaneously, the text will preview in another area of the webpage over and image. See example when you create a label @ www.customwinesource.com custom labels…http://www.customwinesource.com/index.cfm?method=storepairing.listPairing&wineryid=auto
    Any help would be much appreciated

    I wasn't able to (easily) find anything in the way of a textfield to type something into that you describe, but you can assign code for input textfields to detect when something changes in them and take action from that event.  How you do it depends on which version of actionscript you are using.

  • 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 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 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,
