How to create a text field box that saves and reveals content within PDF?

I cannot seem to find a way (at least within Indesign) to allow users to enter content, and then to later have that content revealed within the PDF at a later point.
Example:
User enters name: "Jon"
PDF: "Welcome Jon!"

You can't do it with InDesign but you might be able to do it with some
scripting in Acrobat Pro. You might want to visit the Acrobat forum and
ask there.

How to create a text file or XML file and add content through code into it...

Hi Everyone,
How to create a text file and add content through the code to the text file eform javascript ......orelse can we create a text file in life cycle designer...
Else say how to create a new XML file through the code and how some content like Example "Hello World".

You can create a text file as a file attachment (data object) using the doc.createDataObject and doc.setDataObjectContents:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.450.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.528.html
You can then export the file with the doc.exportDataObject method:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.463.html
This won't work with Reader if it hasn't been given the file attachment usage right with LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

How to create a text field (multi-line) that starts on one pages but finishes on another?

Hi,
I would like to create a multiline text field that the field starts on one pages but finishes on another?
Here is an example of what I want. The text starts in the top of the box (1st box) and would continue in the bottom box (2nd box).
I have Adobe Acrobat X (version 10.1.1) on Windows 7. I know I could use Live Cycle to create an expandable but I need to import this form to Adobe Form Central after therefore Live Cycle isn't an option.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

Hi,
I found a possible solution to my question which is working OK with form central (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/303650)
Here are the limitation of that option (that I found out so far):
it cuts in the middle of the word you are writting when switching to the next box
you can't copy and paste a long text
if you remove text from the first box i won't move text from the second box back up
you can't go back with your cursor from the second box to the first (e.g. to edit you text)
Any other ideas of how I can get that done?
Thank you!

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.

How to create a text field in Oracle apps11i Forms.

Hi Guru's
I have the following requirement to modifiy the PO Receiving screen in Oracle apps 11i,
1. An additional field (No. of Items to recive) need to be created to the “PO Receiving” screen of Oracle apps 11i .
2. Once user mentioned the po num, PO Line Num and quantity in the newly created text field and when he/she click on the Find Button , the receipt lines (lines should be as many as the quantity mentioned in the newly created field) should be create in the receipt screen
Please let me know if this can be achived through Form Personalization or is there any other approach?
Thanks,
Mustaq.

Mustaq,
First and foremost; never under any circumstance should you modify an Oracle EBS form. This is a violation of the EBS License Agreement. Oracle has provided methods of capturing data that is not part of a form. I suggest you dig through the Oracle Applications Documentation and read up on using Descriptive Flex-Fields (DFF).
Also, Francois is right. For this type of question, the General EBS Discussion forum is the best place to post this question.

How to create a text area with spell check and other functions similar to word?

I want to allow users the ability to copy and paste their content on to the site. The problem is giving them the option to use spell check and other word like features to my site. My goal is to develop some thing similar to how we post our question in this forums.

Some old and some new.

You realize you'll need to use server-side scripts and a database for this. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you might just want to install WordPress, Drupal or Joomla on your site.

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,

Wondering how to create a text box with variables...

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how to create a text box, that at the beginning of the presentation, the audience fills in regarding what they think constitutes the role they have been chosen for.
I would like that same box to then appear at the end of the presentation, with the text they typed in at the beginning, so they can reflect on what they think now, and what they thought then. I understand this is done using variables, but i'm not 100% sure.
I hope I've worded this okay!

This screenshot shows the properties panel, Style tab for the TEB. I relabeled it to My_TEB, used the X button to create a user variable v_choice that will replace the generic Text_Entry_Box_1/
This is the properties panel of a Shape, I went in Edit mode (double clicking)to make the Character section appear, where you find the X button. It opens the dialog box 'Insert Variable' and you can choose the var associated with the TEB. The Maximum Length will define how many characters will be displayed, the value of a variable has maximum 256 characters.

How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale. Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.
The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

Thks

To get the best answers, I think you probably need to break down your post into several different one with a separate question in each, along with the business problem you are trying to solve... but here's a few pointers for you to research...
Textbox - there's plenty of info in SDN on creating a custom control with a textbox e.g. Re: Text Editor on modulepool Screen and sample code in SAP too.
Attachments - If this is for an email, then GUI_UPLOAD might help and the BCS class is the newer way to send messages... check out Re: Offline Approval: RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP Vs RSWUWFMLEC for example... if this is an attachment for an SAP object such as an FI Document or Purchase Order, then the Generic Object Services (GOS) could be what you want e.g. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

How to populate the TEXT field in MIGO

Hi folks,
While creating material document in MIGO or MB01, i am inserting some data in TEXT ( Field in line item level ). This text data is disappearing , once mat doc is created.
how to populate the TEXT field in MIGO?Is there any cusomisation?it's urgent .

pabi

Hello Pabitra,
I had a similar issue in my Project.
Please verify if the SMOD enhancement MBCF0002 (EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) is active in your system.
If this is the case, verify from two angles:
a) Whether the Enhancement was accidentally activated - If yes, then De-activate the same
b) If there is some logic coded in the User Exit, but, the Text is somehow not determined...even the existing content in the text field (input to EXIT_SAPMM07M_001) will get vanished.
Hope that your problem will be resolved by this. Pls reward points.
With Regards

Creating & Moving Text Fields Causes Delays/Slowness

Maybe it's my computer, but I'm trying to create a simple PDF form using only text fields and it's very slow going. I'm adding the text fields to a 4MB PDF created in Illustrator that includes hi-res JPEG-compressed images. I need the file to be hi-res for end-user printing. The problem arrises right off the bat when I go to insert my first text field. I get the text field placed and then my curser goes to the watch, then the twirling beach ball. This lasts for about 30 seconds before I can even edit the formatting/properties. Once the program is done thinking, I go to create another text field. Sometimes this too requires 30 seconds of spinning beach ball and sometimes not. Either way, it's painfully slow as I have a couple dozen of these to add and tweak. I don't want to wait 30 seconds every time I try to tweak something. I'm running with 8 GB of RAM and while my Mac Pro is 4 years old, it has a 2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core. I'm running CS5 with Acrobat Pro.
Is there a setting I could be using that could help speed things up? It just seems strange that the computer/program has to do so much thinking after each placed text box... especially since there are no formulas/calculations being used. Unfortunately, I don't usually use Acrobat or create forms, so I'm somewhat of a novice user despite being a 20-year Adobe user.
And I suppose if the problem is the size of my original PDF created in Illustrator, can I create the form on top of a much lower res PDF and then transpose the form to the higher res version for distribution?
Thanks everyone!
Abby

I suppose a possible solution is if there's a way to add the text form fields in Illustrator... or if there's a way to add an invisible marker (besides adding a rule line) that Acrobat will automatically read as a text field location?
