How to make form text box field display name or instructions?

Using form tools, I have added text boxes in my PDF that I would like to have the field name display. So the user would understand what kind of info they need to fill in. For example, [Type organization name here] in one box and [type address] in another. This is not an actual form, so I don't want to put those labels outside the field as shown on the adobe sample form.

You can add your text to the 'tool tip' for the field's properties, use the right mouse click.

    Please try to clarify the question  again :-(
    I am sorry, but it is not clear to me, what you are asking.
    what is "make the server"?
    The server is an application created by Microsoft, you do not need to make it. did you mean install the SQL Server? or maybe how to connect the SQL Server after you installed it?

  • How to make form text item nullable?

    I created an Apex form using wizard.
    It had a text item which was not null column in database. Now I made the column nullable in database.
    However, in Apex form, it still refuses to accept any null value in that text item.
    Where do I need to change in form to make it nullable?
    Thanx

    Hi,
    Has the wizard created a not null validation for the column that was originally not null. Check validations and remove the entry.
    Regards

  • How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

    Hello,
    After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
    I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
    I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
    I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
    Do you understand what I mean?

  • How can I make a text box with 2 columns?

    I can't figure out how to make a text box with two columns. I made one in pages and pasted it into iWeb but it seems to have turned it into an image when I published to a folder. I want to keep it text so the search engines will index it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, David

    You will have to create two text boxes, configure them as columns and then paste into the first and cut where you want the columns to end and paste the remainder into the second column as on this page . I've tried saving a two column Word document as a web page and it just converts it to one column.

  • Can someome help me make these text boxes expandable?

    hello,
    I can not seem to figure out how to make the text boxes on the 2nd page of this 2 page document.  Could someone do that for me?
    Thanks

    Two issues .....
    1. The form must be saved as a dynamic Form. Under the SaveAs menu make sure that you choose a type of Dynamic PDF.
    2. The root subform for Page 2 must be set to flowed. Once that is done everything will shift to the left. On the subform object in the layout tab you can set a .25 in margin to put the object back where they were.

    The other question:
    How to make an input mask so that a JTextField
    has input pattern of XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
    (which is the mask of IP Address) ??
    What I know that limiting input in JTextField can be done

    Please reply if you know.
    Thanks a lot,

    For the first question, just call setEditable(false).

  • How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable.  How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    Hi Alan,
    TextField objects can expand dynamically.  There are a few things that you need to do:
    1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed.  This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
    2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
    3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
    4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form.  If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

  • SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi，
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

    A forms developer could make those fields required with a CUSTOM.pll extension if you didn't want to use forms personalization. Both are considered customizations to standard functionality and may or may not require rework after patching or upgrades.

  • How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

    How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help,
    Doug

    Hi Denes,
    I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

    I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
    Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

    It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

  • Submit fdf data to php to pupulate a html form text box

    okay i have no idea if this can be done because I always see it the other way around....
    I want to give my clients some instructions to type in an account number that is taken from the pdf, submitted to my web server in php or asp, and generates the information into a text box field...
    can anyone help me in the right direction?

    I cannot use the typical regular HTML "a href",
    because I have to call a struts action.No... you said you have to submit the form with a link. A link is an "a href", it's exactly what <html:link> generates. But a link cannot be used for form submitting except by invoking Javascript to do it programatically.
    Using an action in <html:link>, presuming that's really refering to an action and not just the href value, which is what I'm not really sure of. It's been a while since I've used Struts. So maybe the action is the href part, and you can put "javascript:void(0);" there?
    But I'm absolutely positive about the HTML/Javascript aspect. Struts tags don't alter how HTML works. They just make generating some HTML content easier. But in this case, I'm not sure that's helpful because I never found a simple way to get the actual form name that the <html:form> creates.

  • How to make a list item field with DATE data type?

    I have a column with DATE data type. Using forms 6i I want to generate a poplist list item field with this column while the value of the elements in the list to will be day names like SATURDAY,SUNDAY,MONDAY. if we change the data type from date to char, it will work properly but now with DATE data type behind it, it gives the following error message
    "FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
    List WEEKREST
    Item: WEEKREST
    Block: EMPRESTS
    Form: MODULE3
    FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output."
    Using forms 6i how to make a list item field with DATE data type which can hold day names?

    Set your date column as a hidden (non-displayed) field. Create your list item with the varchar2 day names. Create the list item as a non-base-table field that accepts the text values of day names. On that field, create a when-validate-item trigger that translates the text into a real date, which it then uses to set the value of the actual base-table item.
