Is it possible to create a "click to expand" text box, instead of linking to another internal page?

I am working on a personal website, but I want to segment my bio into sections. Ideally I would refer users to "click to expand" under each segment, but I am finding that I can only link to additional internal pages. Any suggestions?

Hi there
As Lilybiri said, you could insert a Smart Shape and configure it as a button. Then have a second Smart Shape or a Caption with the hint text. Assign the action of showing the hint when the Smart Shape is clicked.
Note that this would be an either/or situation. You could not perhaps show the Caption for a determined time and have it disappear.
Cheers... Rick

Create a photo page and have the photo's link to other internal pages

really basic quesiton, sorry but I can't do this for some reason. I created a photo page that is going to be a menu page to link to some internal pages. for some reason the Enable as a Hyperlink is greyed out and I can't click on it to make the image a hyperlink.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks

What you need to do is place a shape over the top of the image, then using Inspector, Graphic Tab give it an Opacity of 1% then you can make the shape a hyperlink.
The imageholders on the photo page cannot be used as hyperlinks.
Alos you must giv ethe shape an opacity of at least 1%, if you try 0% it will not work.

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
the text keeps collapsing...

Is there a way to annotate a PDF by adding a text box any where on the screen rather than having to click on the text box Icon each time? It was like this before I downloaded Yosemite.

I use the Preview app to annotate my notes for class. It use to be where I could add text where ever I wanted on the screen just by double clicking. Now since I downloaded Yosemite I have to click on the text box icon at the top each time and it adds the text box in the middle and I have to move it to where I want it. This is very inconvenient for class. Any suggestions on how to get the old preview back or fix this problem?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

What is the best way to create a read more/collapse text box on the homepage of a site?

What is the best way to create a read more/collapse text box on the homepage of a site?

I figured this out by using a lightbox. I set the trigger at the top of the box, hid all initially and added a close button. In the box that would have linked to the first thumbnail for the lightbox, I added a text box that said "read more"

when I add another text box within the text place holder in order to create a picture frame
You can add a frame image itself - no need to use text box... but if you must.. you are better using Shapes as image placeholders. Conversly - you can add text to Shapes!
Text boxes and shapes are treated differently by the Inspector when opting to use in a way that Apple did not think you would do!
Hyperlinks are best made in its own text box and nothing else added. make another text box.. input content and align to choice, remember ARRANGE move to front pust one text box above the other and allows you to juggle placing your content on the page.

Error KeyNote 09 with mouse right click over any text box

Hi,
I always receive the message "Unexpected error" when right click over any text box on Keynote 09.
I have tried everythin (remove preferences, reinstall, ...) but nothing works...
Any suggestion?
Regards,

Hi All,
I found the culprit to be Babylon as well. Instead of removing Babylon, I changed the key combination to something funky like CMDOPT+SHIFTMOUSE click to call up the translator. After doing so, the Keynote right-click error went away.
cheers

hello adzuki45, you already appear to run the latest version of firefox, so this shouldn't be a cause for concern, maybe your desktop shortcut is just misnamed).

Is it possible to create a numbered list with text label?

I'm using Pages 5.0 on Mac OS X Mavericks.
I'm writing a document that consists of tables and figures, which I'd like to number. For both objects I use a numbered list, which I prepend to the caption for easy reference. Ideally I'd like to have two lists (one for each type) with a label which contains both a text and a number, the tabels would look like this:
For tables: "TABLE <number>:"
For figures: "FIGURE <number>:"
While it's not hard to create lists with either a text or a number label, I can't figure out how to combine the two.
So my question: is what I'm trying to do possible and if yes, how do I achieve the desired effect?

What you are asking for has never been a feature in Pages. I don't think that is an added feature in Pages 5.0 either.

How to Create application express items like text box dynamically

Hi all,
I have a requirement in that i have to create a template like the one in Application express for creating the region and items.
The main requirement is to reduce the amount of time spend in creating the items on htmldb page..
So we are planning of creating a template where the developer at one shot will be able to define all the items used in the the page..So this reduce the amount of time taken in creating and defining each and every item .
Developer use this template which conisist of some 100 text box which act as label for the item which we want to create on the page and there will be check box which show all the item available in htmldb like textbox, check box, select list etc. So developer will check the item he/she want to create and and set properties of it .So this is the single process for creating all the template on the page.
Ones the template is submitted it will create the items on the page ...in a single click..
Please do reply me with ur comments
Thanks

Hi,
I wanted to do similar thing as well. I wanted to add a text field when user clicks a link or button. I was thinking about java script, but not sure how to add the text field items from outside the wizrdy things in APEX!! Possibly using the htmldb_item api, but have not worked out how yet.

30EA3 - Edit Table/Create Table(Advanced) - Table Name, Text Box Size

I am not sure if its the same on non-Linux versions, but in the edit table dialog, the table name text box size is tiny. Its only wide enough that you can see approx 7 chars.
Is it possible to increase this? The size of the text box in the simple create table dialog seems like a good size. As far as I can tell, it is not tiny to conserve space for other items.
Anyway, it's just a minor issue that wont prevent me from doing work - just think it'd be better a bit bigger. I am sure it didn't used to be this small.

IPages creates its own limited space text box

Upon opening a new document using the blank template, once we begin typing, the program seems to throw its own text box around the text. This "box" only utilizes approx half the page, and we can't continue to type. If we click outside the box, it disappears, but once we try to resume typing it reappears. There seems to be no way to resize/reformat it, or make it go away. What are we doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You're typing in the header. There is no text layer in Layout mode as there is in Word Processing mode. You have to create a text box. Choose Show Layout from the View menu and you can see the header and footer. See my replies in "Can't Change Document Margins in Template" for a bit more information on the Layout mode.

I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

How can I distribute a form with text boxes so that the recipients are able to type into the boxes?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

Creating a frame around a text box?

I'm new to Illustrator (I'm running CS4 on a Mac) and I'm creating what is essentially an organization chart. (It's actually something more of a decision tree, but that's not important.)
I've searched some other forums and I discovered the Area Type Options. I'm using that to create 6 pixels of inset spacing between my text and the outside of the text box. Now, I'd like to have a 1 or 2 point frame drawn automatically around the text box. One place told me to go to Object > Text Frame. However, when I highlight the text box and go to Object there is not Text Frame option (either available or grayed out).
It doesn't seem that I should have to manually go through the work of drawing a rectangle around every text frame.
Can someone point me in the right direction to have Illustrator make the blue (electronic) frame into a real visible one?
Thank you in advance,
Bflat Blues

Thank you so much. That did the trick.
However, I'm surprised how arcane this simple technique seems to be. I wanted to draw a straightforward org chart and Illustrator didn't appear to make it straightforward at all.
It's probably me. From what I can see, a new Illustrator user trying to use it for something this simple is like using dynamite to kill a fly.
I just need to play with it more as I'm working through exercises.
Once again, thank you.
