How to create a fill in the blank program?

Hey everyone,
So I am working on a new program that requires a fill in the blank section. I am loading the data via xml as a paragraph, but what I am wondering is how to take this data and make a simple fill in the blank section where if it is right, it turns green, if its wrong, it turns red. Any ideas? All help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Linda,
I will try this.
I tried too.
I started with a blank Page Layout document in Pages (File > New From Template Chooser... > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas.
I added four Text Boxes to that blank canvas:
In my example, the Text Boxes all have black outlines for clarity in that screen shot (select the Text Boxes, then in Inspector > Graphic > Stroke > Line and set the line style, colour and width).
Then File > Print...
and on the bottom left of the Print dialogue:
Save with a suitable document name in a convenient location.
Then open that PDF in Preview and type the word DoubleClick in each user field:
Double clicking will select that "word" and it will act as the Place Holder Text that Peter referred to. The user can begin typing to replace that "word".
Please be aware that this PDF is not a locked form with fields that users can enter data. Here, I show how to select (and possibly vandalise) the Name box:
It all depends upon how well you can trust your users!
Regards,
Ian.

  • How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms

    How do I create a fill-in-the-blank forms in Pages 5

    Pages does not do it like Word, best you can do is tab over a space and leave that space for the user to type into.
    Perhaps putting a small label under to indicate what is required.
    A fill in the blanks form made in Pages however really defeats the point.
    Who out there has Pages, particularly whatever incompatible version you are using?
    Pages has trouble opening Pages files thanks to Apple.
    Use standard file formats either pdf (created in Pages, turned into a form in Acrobat Pro or their website) or Word .docx.

  • How do I create a "fill-in-the-blanks" worksheet?

    I am a teacher that works with students who have various needs - some of them have a difficult time writing with a pencil. There are tons of great teacher resources out there that I can print and use for students to write on. However online worksheets are another story. I came across the idea of using AdobeForms as an adaptation to writing.
    For example...
    Yesterday was _____________________. Tomorrow will be _________________.
    Or even:
    My n__me is _____________.
    Can anyone help me? Right now the only way I can do a fill in the blank is to have a field below a blurb of text, but I don't know how to do a field in between text.
    Help!

    If I were doing this I wouldn't use FormsCentral. I would create the layout in InDesign or a word processor and convert to PDF using Acrobat. I'd then add the form fields in Acrobat where the blank spaces are. You can limit the number of characters in a field and a lot more. Do you have Acrobat available to you? If not another option is to use the free OpenOffice /NeoOffice and create your layout and form fields and then export to PDF.

  • How to create .exe file of the java program you create?

    This must be the qustions asked several time on the forums.So here it is again.
    This sounds absurd to some developers here cause you'll say just create jar file and distributre to usr but sometimes there is not possiblity of having runtime environment in windows computers.So if we can bundle the enviroment and the setup together then packing into exe and then distribute like most of commercial java application sounds better.But the problem is how to do that?
    Ok creating exe will increase the size but that doesn't matter,if there is any freeware tool to accomplish just that?

    There won't be any exact scenario, but the threads with details on how to use XMLP with OAF. There are some sample codes and with that you should be getting started.

  • How archive infostructures are filled when the delete program runs(sd_cond)

    I could not find a suitable forum for this, hence posting it here. I need to know how the ZARIX tables get filled in SAP Archiving. As far as I know, they are filled automaticlaly when the delete job runs, but I could not find any code in SD_COND_ARCH_DELETE program.
    My issue is that my delete program did not fill one of the infostructures which was active and this infostructure corresponds to the zarix table. On the other hand, this infostructure got filled manually(verified in zarix also).
    Wondering how this could have happened. Can this be because multiple delete jobs are running creating various sessions. This is mainly with reference to the SD_COND archive object.

    Hi,
    There is a separate program to fill infostructures as when you fill them manually (Transaction SARJ, Environment -> Fill Structure) a new job is triggered. Have a look at the job that ran when you filled your infostructure manually and analyse the program that ran.
    There should not be any problem in filling the infostructures due to several archiving sessions running at the same time. If you face the same issue again, see if any of the archiving jobs (write, store, delete) failed for any reason. If all the jobs finished successfully but an infostructure didn't get filled then have a look for any OSS note related to this issue. If you can't find anything, raise an SAP message as the infostructures have to get filled automatically as otherwise there will be no access to the archived data.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question have variable answers?

    Hello -- I'm trying to create a fill-in-the-blank or dropdown menu question that allows the user to enter an anser with room for error. For example, if the user enters "0.30", then "0.28" and "0.32" would still be correct. Is there a javascript or something that would allow that? I'm willing to pay for a solution.

    Perhaps so, but even with that range, I'd still likely opt for what I said earlier. It would seem simpler than devising an Advanced Action. Just list the following as acceptable answers.
    0.28
    0.29
    0.30
    0.31
    0.32
    And I might even go farther and list these too.
    .28
    .29
    .30
    .31
    .32
    But that's just me.

    I downloaded and had a look: your question is set up as a Survey question, then you never have a validation, correct/incorrect answers. I changed it to Graded and do get the correct captions

  • How do i make the pdf file so that people can fill in the blanks

    i converted a file i had into adobe but i need to know how to make it so that people can fill in the blanks only on the form without being able to change it

    If you have Acrobat, you add form fields. In Acrobat 11, you'd select: Tools > Forms > Edit
    When you do this it will ask if you want Acrobat to detect form fields for you. This is known as the Form Wizard and it will attempt to divine where it thinks form fields should go based on the content. It work fairly well sometimes, but you will often want to make refinements such as changing the types of fields, the field names, certain field properties, etc.
    You decline this automatic field generation and create them all yourself using the various tools available in form editing mode.
    More information is available in Acrobat's help and numerous tutorials at http://www.AcrobatUsers.com

  • I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
    Thanks,

  • "Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

    In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
    I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller. 
    As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
    Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

    HI Velders,
    Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
    Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
    Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I download a pdf, fill in the blanks and then email

    How do I download a pdf file, change it so I can fill in the blanks, then email?

    If the form doesn't have any fillable form fields, then you could use the text tool under "fill and sign" in Adobe Reader XI.
    If you have an older version, you cannot do this.

  • How can I make a fill-in-the-blank question with partial score?

    I need to make an evaluation test with some questions. Some of them is a fill-in-the-blank question and it has to have partial score.
    I have:
    4 fields (text entry boxes) with: retain text, validate user input;
    also checked include in quiz, with points, add to total and report answers;
    an action that disables the 4 fields when the student is on review mode (otherwise it would be possible to change the answer after submitting the answers);
    Problems:
    I can't give feddback to the student: if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering, if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer. I tried to use a shape to hide captions but the captions are always in front of the shape;
    When reviewing the test something happens and the second time we see the results slide it assumes that the fields in the FIB question are empty;
    Notes: it will be used in Moodle, as a scorm package
    What can I do?

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • Created a 20 page fill-in the blank form with livecycle 8.0 and now page 20 needs updated.

    Created a pdf with acrobat 8.0 and used livecycle 8.0 to create a fill in the form document.  Now that I am at page 20, the lines i put in for a description for people who still use a typewriter should have been taken out for this document.  Is there any way to replace this page with a revised pdf page.  When I open the document in aapro and select document the insert page is not highlighted.  I know I have deleted and inserted pages before, but not one that went into livecycle.  Can it be done or do I have to start all over again?

    Since this PDF is based on a LiveCycle Designer template individual pages cannot be removed.  Can you not just go back into Designer and remove the page you don't want anymore and add in a new one?
