Is there a way for a form field to show a name when the client sees it, but have the name disappear

My client needs a PDF with fields. It's a letter. They want the areas for the header - names/addresses/company name/date, etc. to be variable, but when THEIR client looks at it, they want them to know what the field is. So they want the field labeled. But when the client then types in the field, they want that label to disappear.
This one has me stumped! Thanks!

In a text field, use Options > Default value. The user will have to delete what you write there when entering new text, or you'll get both.

  • Is there a way for a form user to load graphics and text in same field?

    I am aware that you can load text into a text field and graphics into an image field.  However, I would like to load a document containing text and graphics (e.g., MS Word or RTF) into a single field on a PDF form.  Is there any way to do this?

    Paul,
    I believe that the example of attaching a file that you have provided will solve the problem.  I am using LiveCycle Designer, so using the code that is in your example should be no problem.  The end-user will use Adobe Reader, so as you mentioned, I will use Acrobat to extend the features so that the form can be used by Reader.
    Thanks so much for your help,
    Daniel

    It is part of the PDF AcroForm side of things .....Are you using Reader or Acrobat to fill the form. If Reader then you will have to Reader Extend to make this work ....if Acrobat then you simply need to add some code. I have attached a sample that shows you how to do it if you want it.

  • Captions - Is there a way to add form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?

    I lost LiveCycle in the CreativeCloud transition and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI? Or do I just need to create separate caption fields for each field? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...

    I know. Is there a way to tie the caption to the field similar to LiveCycle?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is there a way for internal DHCP Scope to release scope addresses when the wifi client has disconnected?

    DHCP scope is configured on a WLC 5508.
    I'm checking if there' a way for WLC to clear the dhcp leasing when a user is diconnected from wireless?

    Unless the client sends a DHCP Release upon disconnect, which is not mandaded in the protocol, the lease will simply remain until it has expired.  If you're concerned with running out of leases, you only have 2 options. 
    1. reduce the lease time of your dhcp scope
    2. increase the network size to accomodate more usable addresses.
    There isn't a way to force a DHCP address lease to be "cleared" from the WLC simply because the client was disconnected.

  • Is there a way for Automatic Downloads to still install new apps, when the install app restriction is turned on?

    We have several iPads used by remote reps across the US, What we would like to do is use the built in restrictions for the iPad to not allow them to install apps or buy from the App Store. The problem is that if we have a new app that we are allowing, we would need to either have the iPads shipped to us, or we would need to provide the restriction code for them to install.
    I want to be able to have the iTunes account for the company enabled on the iPads, with the Auto-Download New Apps enabled. That way when we purchase a new app on either our inhouse iPad, or via iTunes, it is also downloaded on the other iPads as well. Right now, if the Install Apps restriction is enabled, even the Auto-Install seems to fail or just skip the device. If there a way around this, or is it something that can be fixed in a future version?

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Is there a way for GPS coordinates to override a 'places' tag when viewing photos on the map?

    I like to have 'places' tags for all of my photos in Elements Organizer so I can filter photos without the map view.  The problem is that some of my photos already have GPS information from my camera.  When I tag a photo that has EXIF geo data with a 'places' tag, it moves the photo on the map to the less specific lat/long of the tag and no longer uses the lat/long of the photo itself.  I would like to use the data EXIF data from the photo, if it exists, rather than the lat/long from the places tag.
    Alternately, it would be cool if Elements would auto-create places tags based on the lat/long from a photos EXIF data.  That would also solve my conflict between places tags and EXIF data from the photo. 
    Any ideas?  Am I out of luck?

    Why don't you just put a passcode lock on the phone so no-one else can use it when you're not around?
    You can look at the history in Safari, but that won't prevent someone from clearing the history and cookies after they use it.

  • De-cluttering tip: Is there a way to prevent a track from showing up under "Artist" while still being able to view the artist info when I play the song by Album?

    I asked this question here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15312099#15312099
    It was suggested I re-post in this forum, seeing as the problem may be specific to the Touch.
    So, I have lots of "compilation" albums that include songs by various artists (for example, Pitchfork's top 500 singles of the decade). I usually select my music by "Artist," and now my ipod is super cluttered, because now I have hundreds and hundreds of artists listed, many of which I only have one or two songs by from this compilation.
    One solution: simply delete the artist information for these large compilations, and then the songs from the compilations will no longer show up under "Artists." Problem is, I would like to know who the artists are when I play the compilation (I simply don't want to have the artists listed under "Artists")
    Another solution: I could manually delete the artist info, but paste that info on to the song name. For example, a track that once looked like:
    Artist: Nirvana
    Title: Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Album: Best of the '90s
    After my editing, would look like:
    Artist: [blank]
    Title: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
    Album: Best of the '90s
    This would solve my problem...but it would literally take hours to do for each and every individual song. Not practical.
    Does any one have any other suggestions? It seems like there would be a way to just check a box for what info you want to be listed (ie, I could un-check "Artist," and then the song would no longer be listed by Artist, even though the Artist information would still be retained for reference). Does this option exist?
    In the prior thread, someone suggested I mark it as a "compilation" in iTunes. But that did not prevent the individual artists from being listed under "Artists." Someone suggested that I may need to turn "Compilation" to "On" on my iPod. But that does not seem to be an option on the Touch.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!!

    Why not set the iPod to show Compilations?
    In Settings select Main menu (or Music menu) and check Compilations. (You can do so for both if you desire.)
    Now all of the Artists that only appear in compilation albums won't appear in Artists.
    To get to the Artists that only appear in compilation albums open Compilations in your Main Menu or Music Menu (or either).

  • Is there a way for a form to automatically populate an email address

    My form has an email link. Selecting the link opens an email window (in my case, apple mail) with address already populated. But as far as I know, the form isn't attached. If I go go to file>attach to an email, I get an email with file attached. I need to be able to select the link and have an email open with the address AND file as attachment. When I created the form, Acrobat automatically made the email a live link. Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's an application only windows computers use that can create XFA (XML Based) PDF's they can have active content. Forms Like Government Forms, example IRS Tax Forms are all created with LiveCycle Designer.
    And if you want to put them up on a Server you are required to use Adobe's LiveCycle Server. You must have a Fortune 250 or 500 company budget to afford using it.  Cost in the thousands of dollars per month to serve the form on that server.  But you can use the forms individually like regular PDF.

  • Is there a way for my hard drive to show up in itunes?

    MY hard drive is getting full on my computer and i was wondering if there is a way to have my external hard drive show up in itunes so i can play music off of it? Let me know thanks

    I should have been clearer in my description. The drive will not be in iTunes as a device. You can feed iTunes from it. I have different folders in different locations on my external hard drive and internal drive that I keep my iTunes stuff in. They are not all in the music folder that iTunes lists. One thing to be sure of no matter where you point the *Tunes Music Folder location* to, turn off the *Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library* or you may end up with duplicates.

  • I no longer am able to see how many emails I have in my inbox ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 is there a way for me to see how many emails are in my inbox now?

    I no longer am able to see how many emails I have in my inbox ever since I upgraded to iOS 7 is there a way for me to see how many emails are in my inbox now?

    I have the same problem - I'd like to see the total number of emails I have in each folder when I'm in the folder - it used to be at the top of the screen but since upgrading to iOS7 it's gone.  It now only shows how many emails are unread when you're in the folder list. 
    Gumby20133, I tried double clicking the Home button but nothing happened when I swiped up on the mail preview thumbnail - please could you explain what I was doing wrong?  Actually, even if I could do that, would I have to do it every time I wanted to see the total amount of emails in each folder?  As what I'm looking for is a way to permanently have the amount of emails showing in each folder - is there any way I can do that?
    Thanks!

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • Is there a sensible way to import form fields from an old pdf into a new pdf?

    I'm working with Acrobat X Pro on a Windows PC platform.  I've been working with a file that was originally created in CorelDraw X3, in landscape orientation. That document was then saved as a pdf and set up with many form fields (it's an order form). The document needed to be updated with minor changes made in the Corel file. I resaved as a pdf and now want to transfer the existing form fields from the old document into the newly revised one. I've tried copy/paste, but have to do small sections at a time because the program doesn't let me bring in all of the fields at the same time. I then tried Document > Replace page, which I've seen described in other forum posts; but when I do that, the entire set of fields comes in rotated at 90 degrees counterclockwise. I did read that if the original document was created in a different orientation, that could affect how the fields paste in, but that is not the case here. The original file, and all successive pdf files all have been the same orientation. I'm boggled and think that there has to be an easier way than copying fields, a section at a time, and resizing them all over again.
    This older post is pretty similar to what I am trying to do, but it seems I'm getting a different end result. Any suggestions?
    Create fillable form with changing source document

    I am using Acrobat Pro 10. I have the same problem and finally after numerous different attempts of solving based on all the suggestions, I resolved my problem by Printing to PDF via the print dialog in Word. When I pasted the fields that were previously rotating onto the new "printed" PDf, the fields retained their orientation as desired.
    To clarify, I am using Word 2007, Acrobat Pro 10, the document is landscape, both the original (with fields) PDF and all attempted new PDF's were of the diemnsions 11 x 8.5. The only noticeable difference in the PDF properties for the PDF's were Tagged PDF and Fast Web View. The original PDF (with fields) was No in both cases and all attempts other than the Print to PDF were Yes, meaning that the Print to PDF was No. I am not sure if this made the Print to PDF work or not as I have already spent too much time trying to resolves this issue. Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
    Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.
