How do you make an expanadble text box in a pdf form?

How do you make a text box expand automatically in a pdf form?

Hi;
Is this a question related to FormsCentral or to PDF forms in general?  If it is for PDF forms you should ask in the Acrobat forms forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
If it is related to FormsCentral the text boxes do not expand automatically in a PDF, except for when saving a Response as a PDF form, when the responses from the View Responses tab are saved as a PDF form all Multi-line text fields are expanded to fit the text the user had entered.
Thanks,
Josh

  • How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

    how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
    Without free hand creating the sizing?

    Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

  • How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

    How do you make "Acrobat X Pro" open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
    I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
    pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
    It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the
    "Combine Supported Files in Acrobat" window would open in the
    foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
    I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
    If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
    I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
    be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

    Something that works  (provides Acrobat the application precedence in the OS that is requisite for this) --
    Minimize the 10 or so application windows before engaging use of Acrobat's "combine".
    That'll let the Acrobat dialog windows display front and center.
    Be well...

  • How do i make a scrolling text box?

    hi, i'm looking to make a text box that the user can control the scrolling, i've made it how i want it to look already, but i haven't got a clue where to start as to how to make it actually work.
    here's how i've got it set up so far, okay this is gonna take some explaining:
    i've got the document made up in AS2, the movieclip known as 'Philosophy_tween' is on the main timeline, and inside that movieclip are two more child movieclips, one for the text and another for the scrollbar.
    the text movieclip is set to scroll upwards, behind a masking layer using a motion tween on the parent movieclip, whereas the scrollbar movieclip motion tweens (inside itself) the scroller button. look at the attached image.
    both motion tweens have a stop(); script at the beggining.
    i don't know what to do after this though, so please help, thanks in advance!

    i've got the nextFrame and prevFrame scripts working now, i'd only missed the brackets from those functions. i've also gotten the slider to respond to the button clicks of the up and down arrow by setting up a motion tween for the slider, so it actually works, just along with nextFrame and prevFrame functions. i've also put the slider button at the same level as the text movieclip
    but what i do still need is to be able to control the slider button directly, so the user can drag it up and down and the text responds accordingly, like you said using the enterFrame function, but i don't really understand event listeners and that sort of thing, yet.

  • How do you make fire looking text

    hi i no how to make it with photoshop but the program keeps
    on disconcting me so i tryed fireworks and havnt got a clue on how
    to do fire looking text/logos can anyone help thanks
    matt

    Ah, fire!
    So, it depends on how you want to make it. How were you
    making it in Photoshop? If you are looking for filter, Eye Candy
    provides a fire filter. Unfortunately I don't think it comes with
    CS3, thought it did come with older version.
    You could also try the old trick to making fire by using the
    smudge tool. Here's a great tutorial on how this can be done in
    Fireworks:
    http://designpicnic.com/web-atelier/?p=39
    I used that method in a few samples you can download here:

    (The fire in the background on the main page is a photograph,
    though)

  • How do you get rid of text boxes that get stuck on the form?

    When in "View Responses" there is a text box that says "Manually Added" stuck no matter where I scroll.  Its actually happened 3 times so now there are 3 "manually added" text boxes stuck on view responses - which is becoming an issue as it hinders being able to see what is actually in the responses.  I have to resize the responses to get around them.  Other people on my team are having the same issue.  Can someone help?

    I am using Firefox.  The boxes show up no matter if I sign out and sign back in or not and flash has been updated and it still occurs.  I've attached an image to show you what it looks like.  I've minimized my form to show that the box continues to stay in place.  (My form is a lot longer than what screen capture allows me to show and there are more randomly placed text boxes further down the page.)

  • How do I make all the text entered in a fillable form print?

    I have created fillable forms for patients to fill out on our website then print and bring with them.  When they print the form, all of the information they entered does not print.  How can I make it all print??

    Hi Dana,
    Could you please let me know how were these PDF forms created.
    You might also need to check in 'File> Properties> Security' tab whether 'filling of form fields' options is allowed or not.
    Hope to hear from you.

  • How do you swap out an embed font in a PDF form

    Here is my problem, I am trying to get ride of a specific font in a PDF form file.
    Before I applied this font "SimSun-GBK-EUC-H(Embedded Subset) the file was roughly 150KB. After I applied this font the file size increased to 800 KB. The major problem is this font requires an extended language pack to be installed, in order to fill out this PDF form.  My computer is installed so it won't be an issue so me, however it will be a huge pain in the butt for the public who usually don't have the extended language pack.   I have already finished editing the rest of the form, I really hope there is a way to swap out this font within something else.
    Any suggestions?
    Update
    I decided to redo the form from beginning, just by a small little mistake I added a reset button that uses a different font, now the file size jumped from 150KB to 1.2MB.
    I check the file and found 92% of the file size is occupied by Fonts.  How do I get swap the font?  How do I optimize it?
    Thanks!
    Thansk!

    By Popup do you mean a link that when clicked causes a separate topic to be displayed in a seperate window (popup) or Drop Down text?
    For Popups that are displayed in a new window then the font and colour is changed in the topic that is displayed. Simply open the topic and change colours / features as required
    If you are using drop down text and confusing this with a popup then the font and colour is changed when creating the drop down text. Right click the text and select Font to change colour etc.

  • How can you make your OWN text slides on imovie

    What i mean by this is, is there any other way to make text slides in imovie other than the options they already give you? I want to make my own, i'm not a fan of the ones they give

    You can use Keynote and then use in imovie.
    The trick is to Share from Keynote as a QuickTime movie. Use Timed Advance, not Manual Advance.
    If you are using Green Screen, make a gradient background of two similar shades of green.
    Here is a "green screen" example.

  • How do i make a justifiable text box in Photoshop CS5

    Hi
    I tried to justify text but find it hard, any quick and simple ways to do it?
    Thanks

    We need less people like Tai Lao on these forums and more thoughtful, well thought out and thorough answers like the one 24/7 Tech Support gave.
    I fail to understand what you're motivation and goal is Tai Lao?
    This is precisely a board for people that are trying to learn whether they're beginners or not, or have high IQs or low IQs?
    I've been using Photoshop since 1996 and I recently got CS5 and I was searching for this exact topic, because I just wanted something comprehensive on the subject, so I don't understand why you or anyone else feels the need to get in the way of that?
    I mean, seriously, is this all for your ego? You like feeling superior to people, people you don't even know for that matter? Take your issues somewhere else. The immaturity is so obnoxious, especially when people that use these boards have work to do.
    We out here have work to do, and we need thorough answers. Sometimes, some of us, while we're in the middle or towards the end of the work day aren't even at our best or freshest and we need clear and comprehensive answers during those moments when we're not necessarily operating at our best.
    Whatever the case is, the truth is when you post answers, you should assume that the people are beginners or have "low IQs" or whatever garbage Tai Lao wrote.
    24/7 Tech Support, I hope you continue to go about with your method of presenting detailed thorough answers to the people's queries here on the Adobe boards, I'm sure I'll come across one of your USEFUL posts sometime soon in the near future, and hopefully less across the USELESS posts of those like Tai Lao.

  • I'm brand new to Macs and Air. How do you make the onscreen text bigger overall. The print is super small?

    I am going blind trying to see the tiny text on this laptop. I'm sure there is a way to make it bigger overall.  Also need bigger text (to see as I type) on e-mails? What do I do?

    Overall ?
    Try a different resolution
    Open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    For Mail. With Mail open, from the menu bar, click Mail > Preferences then select Fonts & Colors tab.
    Click Select to change the font and font size.

  • How to fill in a text box on a pfd form downloaded from the internet

    I am desperate to know how to fill in text boxes on a pdf form that has been downloaded from the internet

    Usually you just click in it and start typing... If that's not working then maybe what you're seeing is not a real text field.
    In that case you can probably use the Add Text Comment tool under the Comment panel to add text to the file.

  • How do you make superscripts and mathematics in Preview's text annotation?

    When adding text annotations that include scientific notations, how do you make superscripts, e.g. "3.2 × 10^{-23}"?
    Searching Help for 'superscript' turns up nothing, suggesting the command does not exist, as it does under Baseline etc. in iWork. Please tell me this is not the case! If it is, has the situation been improved in the new operating system?
    A related issue: I wish to include other mathematics -- is there a way to include mathematics similar to LaTeX? Might Preview incorporate using latex code in the future, so I can easily type "\exp{-\lambda t}" etc and have the math appear?
    I'm adding text annotations to PDF lecture notes in Preview, basically filling in blanks the instructor has left so students will pay attention in class, and these annotations include superscripts; I wish to format properly.
    Thank you!

    Once you have the circle shape displayed, long press on the border of the circle. Once it is highlighted, drag horizontally or vertically. This should allow you to distort the circle into an ellipse (or the square into a rectangle).
    Hope that helps,

  • How do you make an image or text, appear on every slide?

    How do you make an image appear on every slide?

    What part did you not understand?
    As Andrew said, open the Keynote file, go to the View Menu>Show Master Slides
    This is what you should see on the left hand slide of the window. The Master slides are at the top and the check mark goes by the Master Slide that is referenced on which ever slide you have selected in the Slides pane.
    Add to the Master slide the image or text that you would like to see on the slides that are made off of that master. You can see in the Title & Bullets master slide, I added the shape in the lower left hand corner and it was added to all the slides build off that master.
    If this still isn't clear, let us know where you are getting stuck and we will try to help.

  • I am making a slideshow. How do you make a text slide?

    I am making a slideshow. How do you make a text slide? I have not found a tutorial.

    If you want to superimpose text on a slide: simply click on the text button on the tool bar
    If you want to have a blank slide with just text: create a black (or whatever colour you prefer) slide and use that behind the text.
