How do I limit the number of characters allowed in an input form and then how do I limit the number of lines?

I'm selling Classified Advertising in a newspaper and I want my visitor to be able to enter their own ads.
They need to be limited to 30 characters/line with a limit of 4 lines. (120 characters total).
How can I use html or css to limit the input to 30 characters per line and then limit them to 4 lines?
Is that possible?
Thanks so much.
Dale

I would place 4 text fields and use the maxlength attribute. Setting maxlength="30" will stop any more than 30 characters from being entered into any given text field...

<label for="textfield">Line 1:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield" maxlength="30">
 
<label for="textfield2">Line 2:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield2" id="textfield2" maxlength="30">
 
<label for="textfield3">Line 3:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield3" id="textfield3" maxlength="30">
 
<label for="textfield4">Line 4:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield4" id="textfield4" maxlength="30">

Hi Hungh,
If your are using BPC 10 with EPM add in client, you can use the function:
EPMDimensionProperty ()
This function retrieves the properties of a specified dimension in a specified cell range.

Currently, Adobe Reader for Android does not provide an option to disable auto-save.
In the Reader home screen (where your files are displayed), you can make a copy of the original PDF document, open the copy (instead of opening the original document), make changes to the copy. Once you email the copy, you can delete it.
For more information, please see Help > How To... > Copy, edit, delete, manage.
Although it is not the most convenient way to accomplish the task, that's the only feasible workaround that is available in Adobe Reader for Android right now.

Fill a PDF form and then save the pdf

Hi,
We are implementing an web application that will collection data on a form and the would like to populate a fillable PDF form. I saw the sample code using Acrobat IAC to open a form and then populate the form fields. However, with that example, I am not able to save the pdf file. Can someone direct me how to make that happened?
Thanks,
Lei

In that case, I'm afraid that the Acrobat SDK is a non-starter,
because Acrobat isn't for server use. You might like to check out
Adobe's extensive range of LiveCycle server products.

How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?

Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot. I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting. Window XP and Vista on my computers. I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem. thank you

Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum).

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Submitting information on Form and then forwarding the form

I am attempting to automate a process which requires filling out a form and then submitting to a team lead for approval.
Currently a configurator submits a hare copy of a request to enhance code or table.
I want to automate so that configurator loga into portal fills out form and then submits. The request is filled out and submitted via portal to approval authority.
Do I use ADS with portal via Visual composer or some other tool.

Hi,
I am also trying to to do something similar . As from Ottos's reply I understand that the second WDA (Approvers screen) will also have a Interactive Form which is created based on data that was stored on the first screen.
Apart from the data, is there a way to make all attrributes of a form persistent so that we can use this to generate the PDF form when ever needed ?
Reason I am asking is because, apart from the data I may have to capcture signature etc., on the form.
Thanks,
Arpitha.

How to change security so its locked but can fill out forms and then save?

Hey there, i want to know how to make a PDF document locked (so you can't change anything) but you can fill out the forms and them save then with the edits in the forms done? Is there anyway to do this? Or do i need to take some settings off. So far I have made it so someone can write int he box, but then they can't change the edits at all.
Thanks in advance.

Create your form.
go to advanced menu
choose the item about Reader Rights
when open set what you want Reader to be allowed to do.
Once set and saved the can fillout, save, email but they can not change the actual form itself just the contents they added.
Not there is a cap of 500 hundred instances per different PDF.
(Please note information is given by an Experienced User of Acrobat. I am not an employee of Adobe.)

Inputting Keywords and then Hiding them from the main window?

Hi, folks. As my subject line reads, is it possible to temporarily hide images to which I've entered keywords so that I can shrink my library of un-keyworded photos down as I enter keywords? Basically, I'm a bit overwhelmed with trying to catalog 30,000+ photos and I'd love to be able to hide individual, keyworded files as I code them, OR to hide them as I put them in various collections.
Is either of these currently possible?
Thanks for your help!

Basically, I'm a bit overwhelmed with trying to catalog 30,000+ photos and I'd love to be able to hide individual, keyworded files as I code them
In the library module, display a group of photos you are working on--e.g., all photos, or a folder/sub-folders, etc.
In Find, look for Keywords with rule "Are Empty". Only the images without keywords are displayed.
As you add keywords, the images disappear from the grid display.

How to customize the Product Item lines numbers incrementation in Orders?

Hello everyone,
We are using structured products in CRM 7.0 that are replicated from ECC SD. These products consist of a high level product to which are attached sub-level products (BOM in ECC SD).
When we select a high-level product in a CRM sales transaction (order, quotation...), the system automatically does the BOM explosion, with the 2 levels structure, but it assigns an item line number of 10 to the first line and then increments by 1, which gives :
10 "item line 01"
11 "item line 02"
12 "Item line 03";...etc
This is not correct for us, because the user might have to insert manually new items in-between the items automatically added by SAP, so, we need the system to change this automatic numbers assignment : we would like tthat the numbers be 10, 20, 30...
so that the user can insert items with numbers like 11, 12....21, 22.
Where can the number incrementation be customized or is there a BADI for that?
thanks
Ludovic

This is set in transaction type customazing. go to spro>crm>transactions>basic settings>define transaction types. Open your transaction type and underitem number section set desired values for:
- Increment Item for main items
- IncrementSubItm for subitems

How can user attach file to interactive form, and be read by abap program?

Hello,
I created an abap interactive form, sent to the user, then user fills out the form fields, then it is uploaded back to sap, then my program reads this data and process it.
It works.
Now I want users to be able to attach any file they want, and the abap program to extract this file out of the PDF, to put it into SAP (or anywhere).
I succeeded in attaching a file, I can "see" it via function module get_annotations, but I get the file in compressed form by Adobe (filter="FlateDecode").
Do you know how to unzip the file, or is there another way to attach files in adobe reader/extract them via abap?
I use acrobat reader 8.1.2
Thx a lot!
sandra
Below is the xml obtained by GET_ANNOTATIONS. We see that there are other text annotations, and that the attached file has {length="98005"}, though real file (before "attach file" to the PDF, and also after "detach file") has length 111 995 bytes. It's why I deduced that there is a compression (I also tried to extract it as-is and open it with adobe but it doesn't work.

Hello everybody,
I am sure you have an answer to my question above. It was :
how is it possible for a user to ATTACH files to a PDF interactive form, and then be able to READ them via a program ? (I guess the solution to read them via ABAP or JAVA is quite the same?)

How do I save and re-use a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form i will use for multiple medcial clients I see, then print out and put in paper chart, and then do it again for another patient. - I just got Acrobat XI

I've created a fillable form from a Word document, but how do I save and re-use a a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form I will use for multiple medical patients, printing out the filled in form to put in paper chart (no need to save filled out form), and then fill blank form again for another patient? - I just got acrobat X

Thanks!
That should also save the blank form for future re-use, right.?
Can I also file the blank form in the file system, and then retrieve it as a blank form when I have a next patient need for it?
Thanks

Rendering PDF form and invoking the process

I've seen few recent posts about rendering the form from .NET application and I was wondering if you could explain and give few more details about how to create an .NET application which will render the form with LC Forms and then invoke the process.
If you have any kind of other documentation please tell me about it...
I was reading SDK help and few livedocs, but since I do not have experience with .NET it is all a little bit confusing for me.
Once I render the PDF in my application how do I invoke the process? Is the submit button on the form enough or I have to write an a web service?

What did the errors say? Can you post a copy of the pdf so we can test out. The presets embed the font, but might be a unicode issue, or one of the few fonts which are copyrighted and do not allow embedding.
What application was the pdf was created from, what settings were used, and if you can outline the fonts. What font or font(s) are the ones reflowing?

How do I limit the number of characters allowed in an input form and then how do I limit the number of lines?
