Is it possible to define the parameters of auto-sized text?

Hello,
I'm working on creating a form that will create small signs with variable text sizes. The font value is currently set to "0" but I'm concerned that my end user will add so much text that the sign becomes unreadable.
Is there a way to create limits on font size within a text field? Can I put a range in the value field to achieve what I am looking for? Or is there a better way?
Thank you,
Erin

My apologies for not coming back to you.
After a 3 hour phone call and several weeks of emails, I received the following helpful information:
"I took a look at your form and quickly noticed a few things. To start, the form you were working on was using PDF artwork since it was imported from an existing AcroForm, this limits the objects and functions you can use, and for that reason I have to recreate the form into a Static XFA form. Once that was done I tackled the font size 0 issue. By setting the font size to 0, you let Acrobat/Reader decide what actual font size should be used, but the only problem you face by enabling multiple lines is that Acrobat/Reader doesn't know when it should stop shrinking the font and start writing to a new line. This is a limitation of the feature, and not a whole lot can be done.
What you can do on the other hand is to script your own logic. In the attached form I created a new formFunction container with a bit of logic. The function stored inside of this container gets called by all of the fields on the form when the document is opened, and every time the field is exited. This logic allows the fields to use font size 0 which auto sizes the font up to a certain point, but after 30 characters (when the font starts being to small), we set the font to a default 10pt and enable multi lines. Using this logic, you should be able to implement this on your forms."

  • Is it possible to define limits, parameters, etc. (in TestStand) as requirements for Requirements Gateway?

    Hello guys,
    Actually this is more a "Requirements Gateway" question. However, as there seems to be no board for it yet, I'll try my luck here.
    So, this is my situation:
    I'm using Requirements Gateway mainly to manage changes and different versions of requirements.
    The requirements are written down in a Word file. Certain steps in TestStand sequences cover those requirements.
    What I am interested in is to be able to see when a change in my requirements has occurred but the TestStand file hasn't yet been altered to meet the new/changed requirement.
    Now by "requirement" I mean things like limits, parameters (voltages, currents, etc.).
    Does anybody know, how to do this?
    So far I am only able to process things that are formatted with the "Requirements_ID" style in a Word file.
    However, the parameters mentioned above are in the "Requirements_Text".
    Ok, sorry once more if this is the wrong place to ask this.
    Greetings from Wetzlar, Germany

    Hi there,
    I found a solution to my problem. However not with the help of the people of NI!!
    As a matter of fact, I'm still waiting for some practical advice from NI.
    When I phoned them on July 12th, the woman at the other end didn't even know at first that Requirements Gateway was a National Instruments product !!!
    I then got outreached to a guy who wanted me to mail him my problem. I did but got no answer. So I called again and was promised to be called back. Yesterday (13th), after having left for the day some guy called back and a collegue of mine left me a note with the email address of the NI guy.
    I wrote him an email this morning and I'm waiting for his reply.
    I have to admit, I expected more. Now I'm rather disappointed by NI. I mean, you buy a software worth $2000 and they don't really know it's on their products list !!! Come on!!
    However, HERE IS THE SOLUTION I FOUND:
    First load your project (if not already loaded) into Requirements Gateway (NIRG).
    In the menu bar click on "File" then on "Edit snapshots".
    A dialog box called "Configuration" will appear.
    You can now make a snapshot of your current project by clicking on "File" in the menu bar and then on "Make a snapshot of current project...".
    NIRG will prompt you for a name for your snapshot.
    Afterwards you will see your snapshot in the left column.
    Whenever a change occurs to your project, NIRG notices this (it asks you whether or not to reanalyze the project), you can now go to the "Configuration" dialog box and click on the snapshot you took earlier on.
    In the right column you will then see EVERY change in your project. When you click on an item that has changed, in the two gray fields below you can even see HOW things have changed.
    By selecting "Display" -> "Selected snapshot view" you can even see what your project looked like when you took the snapshot.
    OK, this is as far as I got.
    I won't tell NI about my solution . I'm really curious to see whether they come up with the same idea or something even better.
    Take care!

  • Is it possible to change the position of beining of text in a standard report

    Hi,
         I am wondering wether it is possible to change the position of the test (the starting point) in a standard report. I would like to print a label with different texts at different positions. If its not possible in a standard report is there any other way to do it.
    Thank you,
    Mudda.

    Hi Mudda, I don't see any way myself to set any particular starting position for your text. It looks like the best way to emulate this behavior would be to add a new line with lots of tab characters or spaces to place your new text at a specific offset from the left. You can also use Append Table to Report and wire in a 2D string array with only a few positions filled in with your various text labels as shown below. This will space text labels pretty well across the page. Try it out and see if it works for you. You could be more clever and build the 2D array programmatically if you wanted more control over position.

  • How can I define the parameters in IPC formula?

    Hi IPC experts,I'm fresh on IPC.
    Now,I have a requirement,and need to alter an IPC formula.
    I need to post a parameter to IPC,and I have below two proposals,but both of them are denied.
    1.add a field catalog,and the system will add a new field in structure CRMT_ACS_I_COM.To finish the MTP,we need to process/remove all the pending BDOCs in middleware.We have global business,and there are always some BDOCs being processed,so it's almost impossible to clear it,so the risk is too high.
    2.Export the data to database in ABAP and then access them by calling a function in the JAVA codings in the formula.
       To achieve this goal,we'll have to use JCO to access ABAP function module,but it seems forbidden according to SAP.
    Now,I have a proposal,whethe we can add a new parameter in the formula class??
    We have below two parameters in the formula:
    import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.IPricingConditionUserExit;
    import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.IPricingItemUserExit;
    import com.sap.spe.pricing.transactiondata.userexit.ValueFormulaAdapter;
    public class Z_VAL_975_GrossStartingPoint extends ValueFormulaAdapter {
         public BigDecimal overwriteConditionValue(
         IPricingItemUserExit pricingItem,
         IPricingConditionUserExit pricingCondition) {
    Can anybody suggest how I can add a third parameter and how to post value to it in ABAP??
    I mean a parameter created by ourselves,not a standard parameter.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi jerry,
    I think you need to pass some custom paramater to ipc which is required in pricing.
    Then you can add a new parameter in the field catalog attribute and to pass the value to the IPC you have to implement the badi CRM_COM_COND_BADI.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Is it possible to define the frame size when capture from MiniDV?

    I am editing a series of tapes which I did not film and don't have the original camera. I am capturing it using my Canon ZR500. When I capture it the frame size is 720 by 480 (3:2). Is there any possibility that by using a different camera I could be inadvertently changing the frame size? (I can't see where I could but someone in this project thinks the aspect ration should be 4:3 - I can't see anywhere I could be changing it.)

    I have just given this a quick browse but I think it just explains how to make slides match the frame size. I used keynote to make the slide - probably not the best but I don't have photoshop. But the principle should be the same?
    But using an incorrect slide size shouldn't affect the aspect ratio of the final video should it?
    After I create the .mov file from FCE I use MPEG Streamclip to produce an .mp4 version to upload to the internet. If I use Streamclip to view the stream info it still shows a frame size of 720 by 480.
    Am I missing something?

    Hi Benito
    I need to understand better what you want to see. So if you have
    300,350,400,450,500,550,600,650,700
    does that mean you actually want to see a chart with
    0-300(1),
    301-400(2)
    401-500(2)
    501-600(2)
    601-700(2)
    So really a count of the values in those ranges? Can you explain a bit further?
    Thanks

  • I need to define the acceptable answers in a text field by what is selected in a drop down menu.

    Hello please help.
    First, I am new to form creation in Acrobat XI Pro so please be patient with me.
    I am creating an electronic invoice with the client list in a drop down menu. When the service person selects the client, the pricing fields need to have limitations set on them.
    If I can figure out the script to set it for one selection from the drop menu, I can figure out the others.
    Example of the three important scripts:
    If GCO is selected in the drop menu then 80 and 0 are acceptable in the hook up field.
    If GCO is selected in the drop menu then mileage = TM -5. If TM - 5 is < 0 then Mileage only = 0. If TM -5 > 0 then (TM - 5) * 3.5
    If GCO is selected in the drop menu then Fuel Charge = 0
    Any help would be great. Thanks!

    Can you please provide a screenshot showing the issue? I have no idea what's happening to you, what with all the caps and all.

  • Is it possible to define one language for every imported text? And other problems when placing text.

    Problem is, that Indesign cc 2014 does not recognize language correctly. In my case it should always be slovenian (and documents like doc and docx are set to slovenian), but it set it as slovakian. I get many documents from different programs (Word, Libre Office, Open Office ...). And setting every one after placing it into document is time consuming. Word import was working great in InDesign 5.5. Now it just mixes local character formating. Also: importing docx takes too long, and when in document is some picture, it just freeze. So I must first open every doc/docx file and delete every picture/logo that is inside.
    Any suggestions?

    Check the language of your default Character Style. If it's set to Slovakian, change it to Slovenian with no documents open.

  • How to define RFC parameters

    Hi Experts,
    i am using a RFC FM to from SRM system to ERP system. in ERP system the RFC FM parameters refer to some structures or tables which are not in SRM system.
    but i should transfer these parameters in SRM system to call this RFC.
    can anyone tell me how to define the parameters in SRM system?

    Hello,
    I also had to work with RFC to call SRM function module from an ECC system. I recommend you very strongly to create your own RFC function module in SRM and your own DDIC structures in both systems with just the fields you need. This custom SRM RFC function module, map the parameters to the standard 100+ field DDIC structure and call the SRM function module (not using RFC at this time of course).
    Why did I say "very strongly" : DO NOT duplicate the 100+ field DDIC structure from SRM to your RFC client system (by transport or manual copy), because some support packages add fields to some include structures of the complex structure, and they are inserted somewhere in the middle, and so it probably makes obsolete your duplicated DDIC structure.
    Hope it's clear

  • Event SM62 - Is it possible to pass some parameters ?

    Hello,
    with SM62 transaction is possible to create an event.
    there's the possibility to manage the parameters ?
    I mean, I call the event X for material number Y.
    The program or job (for exemple) that is triggered can read that the parameters is article N° y ? How do it ?
    Thank you,
    Roberto

    Hi,
    I don't think you can pass any parameters while triggering an event.
    However, If you are raising the event through ABAP, you can update the material number to a Ztable and make use of it in the background job. May be you can use a flag in the Ztable to set once the background job process a particular material.

  • Is it possible to define xhtml:tabscript width by using %

    Thanks in advanced to everybody
    I am new in BSP developing. I have a page with two frames where one shows a menu and the other one shows a tabstrip which contents a frame where dynamically a URL is called.
    As far as I have seen it is not possible to define the width and the height of a tabscript by % only by px. I have checked out the forum and I have seen that other people have had the same problems on defining width and height on tabscripts.( see xhtmlb:tabStrip height attribute posted by Durairaj Athavan Raja on Jan 27). They solved it by fixing by hard the height.
    My problem is that the client wants to see as least scroll as possible.
    A solution would be to find an optimal fixed width and height but it seems to be difficult because the application is going to be run in different computers with different settings. Hence the better one would be to define the width and the height on running time, for example, as it is mentioned in the message, by javascript.
    So if I have the screen size on a javascript variable, is there any way to use that variable as the width or the height of my tabscript?. Does anyone know how can I define the width and the height of the tabscript in such a way that it seems like I am using %.
    Any idea is welcome.

    Correct me if i havent understood your question correctly.
    you have a tabstrip and within the tabstripitem you have an iframe and and fill the iframe src based on the tab clicked. Right?
    If yes.
    There are three factors to the whole scene here with regard to hieght.
    1. page height
    2. tabstrip  height
    3. iframe height
    I have faced the similar issue and solved as follows.
    1. I had set the  <htmlb:page scrolling  to "NO" so that i dont get two scroll bars at the right side (one for page and the other for iframe)
    2. i have placed the iframe outside tabstrip
    3. put the tabstrip and the iframe into normal html table like below.
    <table height=100% border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
                  <tr>
                    <td width="100%">
          <xhtmlb:tabStrip id                       = "TS1"
                           renderSingleTabAsHeading = "FALSE"
                           flowIndicatorVisible     = "FALSE"
                           width                    = "100%"
                           onSelect                 = "mySelect"
                           selection                = "<%= selected_tab %>"
                           viewStateMode            = "COLLAPSED_EXPANDED"
                           dropDownListVisible      = "TRUE" >
        </td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td height=100% width="100%">
    <iframe  id="I1" name="I1" scrolling="yes" width="100%"  height="100%" src="<%= iframesrc %>"
           border="0" frameborder="0" >

  • Can I align the last line of a text container to to bottom of a container?

    Is it possible to take the last line in a text container and vertically align it to the bottom? I'm aware that I can justify the entire text container vertically to achieve this effect. However, this means tha every line in the container is now spaced out with increased leading.
    Here's a screen capture of what I mean.
    On the right is a text container without any vertical justification and sized to fit the text. On the left is a text container that I've sized to match the height of the right container. In order to get the last line to align to the bottom I used the Justify vertically option. But my bullets are now spread out.
    Basically I just want the last line aligned to the bottom and the rest of the text above it to be aligned to the top.
    Is there anyway to do this with just one text container? Or will I be forced to used two text containers?
    I'm using InDesign CS5 if that matters.

    I think I'd do this with a two-cell table.
