Livecycle Designer 7.0 - How do I link a text box in a form to a radio button or checkbox?

Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 to create a form. I have a scenario where I have several options on a question where they choose one radio button. The last option of the radio button has a text box accompanying it and I only want it to be able to be filled out/typed into if that particular radio button is chosen. Not to be able to be typed into if that particular radio button is not chosen as an answer to that question.
How do I do that?
Also how to I do the same for a text box to be entered into and typed into only if the accompanying checkbox is checked?
Help?

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 Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_des igner_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

How do you link 2 text boxes in new pages

How do you link two text boxes in the new pages. The old one was much easier to use.

I think this is impossible! Ive been trying today and I couldnt do it. Then I opened up an old document that had text linking in it and I got a message telling me that the text boxes were now unlinked! Why would you remove that? For me this software is now useless. How on earth do I get my old version back?

Linking Dynamic text boxes?

Hi there,
This might be straight forward, but I would like to know how could one link dynamic text boxes so that the information would flow? In a way, the information would flow from:
(XML) Input A into BOXA00, BOXA01, BOXA02, BOXA03, etc.
(XML) Input B into BOXB00, BOXB01, BOXB02, BOXB03, etc.
(XML) Input C into BOXC00, BOXC01, BOXC02, , BOXC03, etc.
Any takers?

Hi i recently have made a function that can calculate the amount of text that will fit into a specified text box. See my attached file. Notice that the box will only accommodate the text in red since that is the maximum it can display.
"This here one is a very very very long long long text that cannot really fit completely into this box so we will have to cut it at some index point"
My function getTextExtent will return an object with properties
nIndex -> which determines the index at which the text will be delimited
fExceeded -> is true if the text is longer than the allocated height of the text field.

How to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master pages?

Ok, as the title states, we are trying to figure out if it is possible to link a text box to an anchor frame in the master page. When you look at our Master Page layout, we have a text box in the upper left hand corner of the left hand page, this is used for our machine serial numbers. Then we have an anchor frame that automatically fills out the figure number. Let's say I have pages 2 & 3 (left & right), they have a S/N at the top of the page for the machine, then pages 4 & 5 have a different S/N. If I have to add more pages in between pages 2 & 3 (bumping the current 4 & 5 to 6 & 7), the anchor frame bumps to the next page, but the S/N text box doesn't. Is there a way to fix it so that they both move to the next page? Thanks for the help.
P.S. I can include images and other info if needed.

I have included a two pictures that should help me explain.
Master Page:
This is the master page set up, the "Page Text Box" has the flow set to "B" while the S/N text box has the flow set to "A". This setup is for our parts manuals, the left page is usually an illustration while the right page is usually a parts list. The text box, anchored frame & paragraph tag are empty in the master page set up. The "page text box" has a flow of "B" and the "S/N text box" has a master flow of "A".
Body Page 1:
When we create new pages, the paragraph tag automatically fills in the figure title on the left page, then we add an anchor frame within the text box to hold the illustration. You will notice that I added in a "test" serial number at the top of the page. Now if I need to go back and add two pages before this, the anchor frame, illustration and parts list will move to a new page, but the S/N text box will not. The "Before S/N TBD" would stay on the original page.
This is what happens, the text box containing the illustration and the parts list "bump" to the next page, but the S/N text box does not. So the question we have is there a way to link that text box to the page so when we create new pages the S/N text box moves with the illustration.
Does this help?
Thanks for the assistance Error7103.

How to link two text boxes so that text flows from one to the other.

In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I have managed to link two text boxes with JavaScript.
I have deselected the "scroll long text" and selected auto text size.
I have entered the script into the "custom keystroke script"
if ( event.fieldFull || event.willCommit ) this.getField("Details2").setFocus();
Now my problem is this works for IE but I can't get it to work with adobe reader or pdf expert on iPad.
I need my forms to work with both, windows & ios.
Any suggestions?

See the following article:
JavaScript - setFocus Method for tabbing to next form field
And see if iOS can even handle the sample form.
iOS and android devices are not a powerful as your desktop of laptop computer and have limited support for JavaScript within PDF forms. This limitation for specific apps ranges from none to quite a bit but not all JavaScript.

Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
with repeat:
no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
like so:
<div align="right">
<div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
border:2px solid;
overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
border-color:
#333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
here</h3><br><br> More text goes
here<br><br> and more text goes
here...</div>
<p> </p>

Re-linking multiple text boxes in InDesign

So here's my problem....
I've laid out a magazine in InDesign. It has many features, complete with graphics, insets, etc. One of my contributing authors wants his story (as published) sent to him separately in order to have it translated into Japanese. It's six pages long. I've copied & pasted it into a new 6 page InDesign document. But now the text box links are broken. I want to re-link the text boxes (already filled with text) back together, but I can't seem to figure out how to do that. I really DON'T want to have to reflow all the text and graphics again. Isn't there a simple way to just re-link the text Boxes?

Instead of copy/pasting, you would have been better off going to
Layout>Pages>Move Pages and moved them to a new document. Then the text
threads would have stayed intact.

How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

How do I turn off text box in pages?

how do I turn off text box in pages?

Thank you Peter and Jerry.
Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me. Does anyone know how to do this?
Best, Angela

How to populate values in List Box in Adobe form

Hi,
How to populate values in List box in adobe forms?
Thanks
RB

if you want to display a fixed values in the dropdown you can use list box ui and can specify values there
or if u want to display values from the context node of the webdynpro
1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.

Linking Floating Text Boxes in Pages - What Happened?

A year ago, I prepared various documents (i.e., newsletter and book-type document) in Pages. I was able to link floating text boxes. A month ago, I got a message after opening my last year's newsletter indicating that the links to the boxes had been broken when I opened the document. In addition, the command disappeared from the command box. I found instructions in the Apple website, but these referred me back to the command that no longer exists in the command box.
I remembered that when I switched from Windows to Apple in 2009, I was impressed that I did not need a publishing software to prepare my newsletter. I was able to do everything I needed with Pages. I am wondering whether Apple decided to change the versatility of Pages and add a publishing software.
Can anyone help me? I really hope that Apple did not destroy Pages' versatility. However, I have learned that adaptation is the name of the game. Therefore, I will do whatever needs to be done. I just need to know what to do. Thanks for helping!

No, feature removed allong with over 90 others:

How to remove white bounding text box

Hi,
I'm a multimedia student and need to create a portfolio in Director and would like to know how to remove the white text box when writing text content? I already have a background and would like to have plain black or white writing on the bakground, do not want the white bounding box. How do I remove that?
Thanks

It really depends upon what kind of text member you used, but in general, you would select the sprite on the stage, then go to the Sprite tab of the Property Inspector. Find the Ink setting and change it to Matte or Background Transparent.

You mean, permanently? No way with the free Reader. And changes of this sort are usually done best in the original program (the one used to produce the PDF file). PDF files have never been meant for extensive editing.
