How to Print All Content hidden in Text Field

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I can't seem to find a solution that works
I am trying to get a text field, which is fixed in size on screen and which includes more text than visible (contains + sign in corner) to print all the text within it.
I'm assuming this can be done and I am simply not producing my form correctly.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Ken

There are some options:
- You can set the font size to Auto, but then you run the risk of the text being too small.
- You can set up empty fields at the end of the form and populate them with the text just before printing. That would require a custom-made script.

Script needed to print complete contents in scrolling text field Acrobat Pro 9 (MAC)

I've seen this question several times in my search but no real solution. My client wants a form with text fields that only show 1-2 lines when viewed on-screen but are scrollable so that the user can input a lot of text. I had no problem creating that. The problem occurs when I try to print the form. Only the visible lines of text print and not the entire contents of the field.
Is there a Javascript that I can assign to a Print button in my form that can be assigned to the Mouse Down action that will make the entire field contents print? I even recreated the form in WORD so that when the user inputs text into the field, the contents of the form move down the page. My client didn't like that approach. I'm not a programmer and so I haven't been able to write my own script to handle the printing issue. I'm MAC based so using Livecycle isn't an option for me. Thanks!

I'm using Acrobat Professional 9. I used to use Livecycle which was more flexible, but I no longer have a PC, only MAC and Adobe doesn't make Livecycle for the MAC.
The client doesn't want larger fields unfortunately. They have questions that require 2 or 3 pages of information to be entered into a small text field but they don't want large fields. If they're reviewing the answers online, it's fine - they can just scroll through the text fields and read the answers but they don't want the completed text fields to expand unless the form is printed.
I've already set up my text fields to be multi-line and scrollable so that the client can review all of the text in the field if they are looking at the saved PDF online. The problem I'm having is that I need the entire contents of the text field to be visible ONLY when printed out. They don't want larger fields to show in the form. The client was quite specific about it. The form is also going to be used infrequently, so collecting the data and storing it on a server isn't something they're particularly interested in. The information is also confidential, so they do not want me to be collecting and storing the data and sending it back to them in another format. The easiest option I could see was to create a script tied to a PRINT button that printed out the complete text field.
Thanks!

How to print the content of a text edit ?

Hi to all,
I have a view with a text edit and I want to print its content. I created a button and I want to print text edit content pressing this button. How can I do? Which java code I have to insert in that button?
thanks a lot,
Antonio

Antonio,
Sadly, there is no way to do it directly. Even in plain HTML application it is impossible to print text of UI control (<textarea> in this case).
So you have to open new browser window containing entered text and let user print text himself. Or invoke window.print() on document load event.

How to force all characters in prompt text field will be in uppercase???

Hi everybody
How to get that all characters in a prompt field of a Webi report will be compared in uppercase with the database field ?? Even if the user input text in lower case.
this is due to the database all filelds are in uppercase, and avoid to say to the users they input fileds in uppercase.
i looked for a parameter in a universe and in oracle.prm filed, and i didn´t find it.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot rohy.
now i use that solution, but my intention is try to solve to all objects, not each object individualy, due to i have a lot of objects that a user can choose from a prompt, and i have a lot of filters to do that
i would like to change some parameter to do that at one time.
i investigate about it......
thanks again.
best regards Guillermo
have a nice day

How do I make content in a text field continue onto a new page?

I am creating a form and one of the pages contains a text field for an essay. I'd like the responses in this text field to carry onto new pages if they reach the end of the first page. How do I make new pages appear with only the continued text field? Thanks!

Trying to retrieve content from a text field & use it in a conditional statement

Hi Everyone,
I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo", and the button is called "genOrder".
Initially the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text field with an appropriate order number.
I need to check the text field for data (content) before writing the order number to it, this way if an order number is already present in the text field it will not be over written.
My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the testing, however I don't know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if content is present!).
If anybody can suggest how I can go about retrieving the content of the text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

How to print Iview contents only

Hello All,
How to print IView contents only instead of the whole portal. If I use javascript function, it prints whole screen. I want to print only the IVIEW contents. IView has tableview.
Thanks in advance,
Praveen

Hi,
we are using a 7.0 SP 16 Portal.
If you have an light portal with an low EPCF level maybe the option will not be shown.
Try it with the default SAP Portal Style as admin in that case you have an high EPCF level and you also should see the print option.
If your iview is embeded inside a page this can have different effects. Please test it with an stand alone iView before.
So with the high EPCF level the default portal style a single portal iView and the print option set to true you should see and use the print option.
The option "Show print option" is not for every iView type avaible for example web dynpro iViews has that option this i know for sure, because i use this option with web dynpro iViews.
Maybe you can build this function by your own i did this also with the following code. Maybe you can adapt that code:
String p1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("PagePath");
String p2 = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("sap-ext-sid");
String p3 = WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("sap-wd-cltwndid");
String[] url = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getApplication().getURLService().getGeneralService().getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart().getName()).split("/");
parameter = p1 + "&iview_mode=default&sap-wd-renderMode=print&sap-wd-cltwndid=" + p4 + "&sap-wd-cltwndid-print=" + p4 + "&sap-wd-pb-ext-sid=" + p2 + "--" + p3 + "--&IviewPrint=true";
String newUrl = "http://" + url[2]+ "/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder.IviewModeProxy?iview_id=" + parameter;
kind regards

Is it possible to print the content of a text entry box

I would like to print the content of a text entry box as I've created a 'notepad' in captivate 6. Is it also possible to save content of a text entry box to a word document/web page using javascript?

The content is stored in the associated variable of the TEB. Have a look at Jim Leichliter's website for instructions to get that variable out of Captivate.
