How to expand text box size automatically (and avoid the scroll-bar).

When I enter a box for multi-line text, upon converting to .pdf, a scrollbar appears if the text does not fit into the box. I don't want this. I want the text box size to automatically increase.

How to dynamically resize a display component to avoid vertical scroll bars?

Hi,
I have a Flex 2 chart embedded within my html page. I have a
hard coded height and width for the object tag. The problem is that
my Flex 2 chart application is created dynamically based on the
meta-data and as such may or may not be bigger in size than the
size that I have set. In such cases, Flex shows the scroll bar.
On creationComplete, I want to be able to detect the true
size of the flex app i.e size that includes both the view area and
the area that is hidden but scrollable. I have tried height, width,
verticalScrollBar.maxHeight etc. but none of them give me the
height and width of the whole app. Is there a way to get that in
ActionScript?
Thank you,
AN

I upgraded to OSX mountain lion and now the scroll bars on every screen are not there unless I stretch the screen - help

can anyone tell me why I can no longer see the scroll bar to the right of the screen unless I stretch the screen but it fades in and out instead of always being there to scroll down

Open General preferences. Select the desired scrollbar behavior/appearance:

Working with a projector file. How can center it, not allow scaling and change the title bar?

I've tried using:
import flash.system.fscommand;
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
fscommand("showmenu", "false");
fscommand("fullscreen", "false");
on frame 1, but they don't seem to work. I'm going to be putting this project on a CD and the client wants to make sure it will open centered on the user's screen, which has not been the case so far. It seems to open at different spots on different computers.
They also want the title bar changed from "Adobe Flash Player 10" to their own title.
Thanks in advance for the help.

You can use: stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; As for the title bar change, you can change the title bar string using Resource Hacker. But i am not sure if that is legal. You will find the strings under the strings table.
What did you mean by, "You will find the strings under the strings table."? Were you talking about Resource Hacker?

Overset text will not go into the text box that is part of the master for the next page

I am trying to (first time user) set up a simple trade-paperback sized book with some photos. Have set up several masters for chapter title pages, chapter inner pages, etc. When I copy text out of Word into InDesign, (copy/paste) the text overset box appears. I load it, then go to the next page, which I have already formatted using one of the masters. But when I select the desired text box ((Ctrl/shft) and click, the overset text forms a new text box, What am I doing wrong? thanks

I have done, this did work right for at least the left side of the spread, but never for the right side -
Make sure the left and right page master page text frames are threaded View>Extras>Show Text Threads. Here I have left and right page text boxes threaded on my A-master spread:
Checking Smart Text Reflow can make adding long text to master frames easier:
With Smart Text Reflow enabled I've released the master page text box on page 1, note the released frame has a solid border, while the unreleased master page frames on subsequent pages are dotted indicating they are still master page items and not page items.
The result of the paste:

List Box display to synchronize with Scroll bar.

I will like to know if anyone here can help to amend or advise on the attached VI in order to allow the List Box display to synchronize with the Scroll bar.
As the VI is in run mode, i would like to see 9.CD, 10.Troja, 11. Red... and so on to be displayed as it is being executed.
Thanks.

Hi Gelb,
Glad to hear you've got it working
I realised afterwards that my code will not work correctly if the last line is partially hidden, ie the list box does not display an exact number of lines. So I've added a +1 after the array size function to correct this, see attached vi.
You'll notice that I read the NumRows property of the listbox - I've done this so that if you decide to change the listbox height the code will still work without you having to go in and change anything. In your code you would have to change the constant (currently a 7) before the comparison primative to the new height. Also, in my new vi I've assumed the listbox height isn't going to change during the time it gets populated so I've move the NumRows property out of the for loop and read it only once - saves a bit of time
Using a for loop with auto indexing rather than a while loop also means that I don't need to index the input array every time or worry about when the loop will stop.
Hope this all helps
Dave

How do I lock the scroll bar on, keeping valid HTML5?

I have a site that was originally created in FrontPage some years ago, and I have now redone it using Muse (not before time, I hear you say!)
There were several pages on the site where the content was not large enough to need to be scrolled on most displays, and some browsers removed the scroll bar from the right of the page when those pages were visited. This resulted in a shift to the right on those pages, which made all the fixed elements move on the screen when going between pages, which I found very annoying.
I fixed it by adding this code to the pages in question -
<style type="text/css">
/* Force Right Scrollbar */
html { overflow-y : scroll; }
</style>
This worked fine and locked the scroll bar on, and I wanted to do the same with the Muse version of the site.
I have added the same code using the add HTML feature, and it still works fine.
However, if I run any of the pages concerned through a validator, I get the error -
Validation Output: 1 Error
Line 23, Column 28: Element style is missing required attribute scoped.
<style type="text/css">
I tried to find out why this was, but all I found was a lot of standards documents which were mostly way over my head!
So, is there any modification I can do to that code to get it through the validator, or do I need to look at a different method of locking the scroll bar on on my web pages?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Dave.

Thanks very much jgrummel and Vikas.Sharma!
Sorry for the delay in responding.
I have now added "scoped="scoped"" to the code, and the validater (http://validator.w3.org) is now showing just a warning rather than an error.
"Line 23, Column 44: The scoped attribute on the style element is not supported by browsers yet. It would probably be better to wait for implementations.
<style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">"
I'm not too worrid about that, as it is still passing it!
The code is inserted on the master page of my site, so it presumably propagates through to all the pages, including those that don't need it, but this doesn't seem to cause any problem.
The site is here - http://www.thedraculasociety.org.uk

How do you set default fonts and default text box sizes on bound form fields?

I am using an existing PDF as a template to build my form in designer.
I am dragging my objects from the schema window to the form and when I drop it on the form it is way too big - so for every field I do this with I am left to resize and reset the font to every bound object i drop on the page!
Is there a way to set the default font and the default dimensions of the bound text boxes I am droping on the PDF form page?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

iWork '09 DVD set (containing Pages '09 v4.0, Numbers '09 v2.0, and Keynote '09 v5.0) is available from Amazon for USD $20. Apple no longer provides retail store, or OS X App Store downloads. You will need to apply the Apple iWork 9.3 updater afterwards to bring these applications to their n.3 (e.g. Pages '09 v4.3) last versions. You will have an /Applications/iWork '09 folder afterwards.
I would also launch /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities, select your boot drive, and verify/repair permissions — just to be on the safe side for the newly added iWork '09 applicaitons.

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available: Text (plain) and Paragraph. (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

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.

Create expandable text boxes & maintain Indesign interactive features

I have a form created in indesign which has interactive buttons included. I exported to pdf and now need to add expandable text boxes. I tried to do this in Livecycle but when i imported the pdf as a flowable form (with a view to make it dynamic) the interactive buttons i had created disappeared. is there a way around this so that i can create expandable text boxes but still maintain the buttons i have created?
PS i am completely new to Livecycle

Hi Reggie,
Here are two versions. One form with a fixed number of pages and the other with a variable number of pages (you can add additional page 1).
In the fixed number of pages, the click event of the index button includes the following instruction to go to a target page:
xfa.host.currentPage = 1;
This works because the page we want is always "1".
If the form is dynamic and the number of pages can increase (or decrease) from those set at design, then we need to track the actual page number of each target page, at runtime.
The script in the index button now looks like this:
xfa.host.currentPage = page2.thisPage.rawValue - 1;
Here the target page is page2 and on this page we have a field called "thisPage". The instruction is to jump to the current value of thisPage on page 2.
For each target page that you want to index, you will need a hidden field (thisPage). You need to put this on each page and not on the Master Page.
Hopefully the examples will help explain this.
This is how we do it, there probably are other solutions out there.
In relation to the second part, the link feature in Acrobat will not work with a form developed in LC Designer. Paul has a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918) with a PDF for attaching documents, which were then listed in a list box. This could help you in developing your form.
Another option is to have a button which becomes visible is there are attachments in the PDF. The click event then shows/hides the attachment panel. The user can then see the attachment and double click on the one they want/need. I know it is not as clean, but it is easier to implement. The javascript for the button would be:
app.execMenuItem("ShowHideFileAttachment");
Hope that helps,
Niall

Expanding text boxes to multiple pages

I have a dynamic form with expanding text boxes that I originally designed on one page. As I put in the needed items it was clear to have it fit I would need to go to a second page to have everything needed. When it is the first page alone the preview pdf works properly automaticallly moving the overflow to the next page. When the second page is inserted to finsih the form the areas not fitting on the first page when typed into the preview fall off into space and you can no longer see them. I've treid moving around the heirarchy and have not figured it out. Does anyone know hoi to fix this? Is it possible to have a 2 page dynamic form that expands?

Sorry I have been on vacation and in Europe for a week so I was not able to get to this before I left.
The root subform (Page level) must be set to flowed if you want it to act the way you want. When doing that you can ignore the need to add the 2nd page and allow the product to break the page where it is needed. I modified your form so it would do this. Note that there is no Page 2 and I added some additional subforms to break up different parts of the form (Headers and unnamed subforms). It is good practice to name your subforms and if you do any code that was added may need to be adjusted to take into account these additional structural changes.
Please find attached the modifed sample.
