How to word wrap within text field
I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.
When can I format the text box to word wrap?
tks
I have set my text fields to multi line and the text wraps but it only starts about halfway down the text box. Please help, this is getting frustrating...

On iphone when creating emails, how to word wrap the text
I have several people, ncluding myself, when creating or responding to emails the text runs on and on and does not wrap to the next line. Can you help?
Come on apple... There are so many complaints about this going back years. The text wraps when looking at the sent email. Please fix the problem in the composition window!

In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?Hi,
I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.

Hello
Is there a way to have fillable fields within a body of text so that it looks like it is all one paragraph. Something that would look like this
"This is a paragraph, please fill this part in ______________________, and then hit enter"
Where the line is a text or number field? When I did it by inserting a field to the left or below the formated text it gives me spaces before and after or below that make it look like separate text, and I want it all to look like one continuous paragraph.
On a similar note: can you make a multiline text field so that the second line wraps underneath the field defenition?
Thank you in advance.Hi,
Fields within text fields as you described is not supported in FormsCentral.
>>>On a similar note: can you make a multiline text field so that the second line wraps underneath the field defenition?
Do you mean, field definition as the text caption for the multiline text field?, if so, then no. There will be always a space between the field caption and the input box.
If you are referring when users are filling the multiline text field, then, the second input-line should be wrapping when when it reaches the right edge of the input box. -
How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?
I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
public static void main( String[] args ) {
JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
f.setSize( 500, 500 );
ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
f.setVisible( true );
public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
public MyListener() {}
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
// I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button). -

Acrobat Forms -- how do i make a text field opaque when typing
I'm new to the Forms formatting, so bear with me. I'm trying to create a fillable form which has rules to fill in by hand. How can I create a text field box that will cover the rules behind it if someone chooses to type the info instead of handwriting. I found a script that almost works:
if (event.value.toString().length > 0) {
event.target.fillColor = color.white ;
} else {
event.target.fillColor = color.transparent ;
The only problem with this is that the rules show while typing on top of them. The box turns opaque when a new entry is made in another field. Anyway to make the box opaque while they're typing ?Here's a link to a demo that I believe behaves as you want: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=AG6oZ3bi3DYHokxDPeWN7A
It is controlled by several scripts, so study them to see how it works. -

...if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update. -
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,

Wrap a single word in a text field
Hello everyone!
I currently have a problem with text data that is displayed in a Flex text field <mx:Text>.
It's a narrow textfield (100px wide) in a animated ad banner that displays content from a database. There are some words that are too long for the available space, so flash wraps some letters to the next line. I have attached a screenshot that shows the actual problem.
The text is shown in a Java web-application as well, and since that Java app is displayed as a normale webpage, there is a lot more space for the text. I cannot put hyphens into the text because it would look weird in the normal web view.
Is there a way to make automatic hyphenation happening when Flash wraps a single word?
It would be perfect to get language-specific correct hyphenation, but a hyphen at the wrong spot is still better than no hyphen at all.
Thanks for your time and help!I think your simplest bet would be to use mx:label and use the op
tion truncateToFit="true". Also adjust the width so that the text appears prope
rly. Hope this helps..!! -

How to make words in a text field change color in play mode by clicking on them?
I have a text field on a slide, wanting to change the color of certain words randomly by clicking on them in play mode. I dont know what word in what order will be mentioned by the audience, so I can not set a fixed order in advance.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot.create a slide with all the text boxes in place
duplicate the slide as many times as you have text boxes you want to change colour
on the second slide, change the colour of one of the text boxes as required
on the first slide, select one of the text boxes
open the inspector: Inspector > Hyperlink >
enable as hyperlink > link to slide > click slide button > select the correct slide from the drop down menu
in play mode, clicking on the hyperlink will display the appropriate slide with that text changing colour
repeate the process for each text box
