How to add a instruction to a text field
Dear all,
I am trying different ways to add a guideline to a text field. I tried
1/ To insert a comment, but clearly it is not working with an interactive form in Adobe Acrobat,
2/ To use text field and set the guideline as default value on the object palette but the problem are
- The text field is not expanded horizontally even I chose Expand to fit option
- The guideline does not disappear in case user do not use it
- The box does not shrink also as users do not type enough lines
3/ To use text instead of text field for the guideline, the problem is
- There will be a large space between the two parts since the guideline is not supposed to be printed.
My question is whether there is a smarter way to suggest users typing in the text field by giving the instructions without having it printed out. For instance, is there a way to have a hidden box, you know, it appears as users drag a mouse or click the field?
I know this is might be a naive question, but please help me out. I would really appreciate.

Wow there is a lot to cover in this thread......
1. A flowed subform means that the content within that form will be placed from left to right top to bottom. In your case where you want to place objects beside each other they need to be within a positioned subform (this means the objects will maintain their position relative to the subform boundaries). So in your case I would break up the form into logical sections and wrap those sections into a flowed subform (make the subform dimensions span the page) then wrap all of the sections in a Page subform that is flowed. Now when it flows everything the positioned subform containers will span the page and will keep theobjects where they are positioned.
2. Each cell can only house 1 object. You could add another column to add the second course date.
3. You can add as many rows and columns as you need....so yes you could add a course code.
4. The form can access a database for filling the form or for writing to the DB, but there are a few things you shoudl know. Reader does not have this capability and it must be enabled using LiveCycle Reader Extensions. This is a server based product so it is priced as such. If you have a small number of users it might be more cost effective to buy Acrobat for each user. Once that is taken care of the connection to the DB is controlled by an ODBC driver in the Windows OS. This means that each machine that loads the form will need to have this driver configured (cannot be automated) as well this solution will only work on a Windows machine. In bigger installations this becomes a maintenance nightmare for most IT shops. Do you still want to proceed down this path?
5. A form can only create a single data file structure ....I do not understand what you mean by the last point....can you elaborate?

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?
I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?
For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text. -

How to add * wild card to a specific field on the selection-screen.
Hello,
How to add a * WIld card to a field in selection screen.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS : S_STCTS FOR G_STCTS OBLIGATORY, "NUMBER SCHEME
S_AT20A FOR G_ATTR20A, "SUBSTANCE ID
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
I need to add Wild card functionality to Number scheme field S_STCTS on selection-screen.
Any suggestions would be apprecaited..
Regards,
KittuHi Kittu,
Here is one sample code:-
select-option : s_name like kna1-name1.
start-of-selection.
if s_name-low = '*'.
select * from kna1 into table it_kna1.
elseif s_name-low = 'pat*' or s_name-low = 'pat'.
select * from kna1 into table it_kna1 where name1 like 'Pat%'.
endif.
In case of wild card Select should be :-
select * from <dbtab> where <field> like 'P%'.
You can also use RANGES in your Code.
E.g. RANGES: R_OBJNR FOR JEST-OBJNR
R_OBJNR-SIGN = 'I'.
R_OBJNR-OPTION = 'CP'.
R_OBJNR-LOW = 'K1*'.
R_OBJNR-HIGH = 'K2*'.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?
I just started learning to use a Screen Personas, and I want to know how to add a search help for a field.
I found a property in the help document named "IsLookupSupported". Is it the key? But I saw it was gray in the field I created, and its value is "false". I could not change it.Hi, Tamas,
I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
The correct code is like:
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

How to add a hyperlink in the text caption?
Hi,
I am using Captivate 5. Anybody knows how to insert a hyperlink in a text caption? For example, the texts in the text caption are "See Adobe Captivate Forum for details." How to create a hyperlink for "Adobe Captivate Forum" which leads to the forum website?
Thanks,
HelenThere is no tru hyperlink object in Captivate as such.
You can use a button or a click box to provide users with an interactive object that when clicked will call a URL or document.
However, this doesn't really give you a mouse rollover effect the way users are accustomed to seeing in normal web hyperlinks.
If you really want to add a piece of on screen hyperlinked text (with rollover effect) to a Captivate project, the closest you'll come to it is this widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/hyperlink -

Can anyone help me to create header and fooder in text file.Well you plainly have the code to write the file contents; and furthermore your report seems to be contained in a List called 'data'. Why not just add the header and footer lines to it? I'd also suggest making 'data' a LinkedList. That way you can add the header afterwards with no performance hit, just in case the information it contains isn't available at the start of your report loop.

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!
MaribethI'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 to add users from person or group field in a sharepoint list to sharepoint group
Hi,
How to add users(single or multiple) from person or group field in a sharepoint list to sharepoint group programmatically?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
AA.Hello,
Use SPGroup.AddUser() method to add user in group. I have just written sample code in notepad so it is not tested:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using(SPSite Site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
Using(SPWeb Web = Site.OpenWeb())
SPList list = web.Lists["ListName"];
SPQuery query=new SPQuery ();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title' /><Value Type='Text'>Test</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(query);
if(items.Count > 0)
foreach(SPListItem item in items)
//Get USers from person or group column
SPFieldUser userField = (SPFieldUser)item.Fields.GetField("Users");
SPFieldUserValueCollection userFieldValueCollection = (SPFieldUserValueCollection)userField.GetFieldValue(item["Users"].ToString());
SPGroup spGroup = spSite.RootWeb.Groups[groupName];//group name
if (users.Count != 0)
bool isUserInGroup = false;
foreach (SPFieldUserValue user in users)
foreach (SPUser item in spGroup.Users)
string itemUserName = item.LoginName;
string UserName = user.User.LoginName;
if (itemUserName == UserName)
isUserInGroup = true;
break;
if (!isUserInGroup)
spGroup.AddUser(user.User);
The above code will query list item and then get users from "Users" column. Now it will check whetehr user is already in group not, if not then add user in group.
