LiveCycle Designer 8 - Text Boxes

I create a form with text boxes that may have multiple lines of text entered in them.
I see where in the "Field" section properties for that text box I can check the box that allows mutiple lines and limit lenght to visible area.
However every time I test the forms the cursor always starts out in the middle of the text box where the user starts to type and fill out infomraiton. Is there a way to force that cursor to start at the top of the text box instead of the middle?
Thanks.

This option can be set in the paragraph formatting window. Highlight the field you want to format > select the format either top, center or bottom.

  • LiveCycle Designer - Vector + Text + XML

    Hallo Community.
    Normalerweise stelle ich mich erst einmal vor.
    Heute jedoch, eilt es sehr und darum verkürze ich es mal.
    Einleitung:
    Ich möchte in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 einen Fragebogen erstellen, der mir dann via klick auf einen Button als XML zugesandt wird. Das Programm erwarb ich mit Photoshop, Illustrator und Co in einem Zug, hab es aber noch nie genutzt - bis heute. Ich konnte mich ganz gut einarbeiten und soweit all meine Ideen realisieren. Für die Startseite dieses Fragebogens möchte ich ein Logo einfügen. Das Logo liegt mir in allen Formaten vor. Der Designer akzeptiert jedoch keine Vectorformate. Ich habe mich schon schlau gemacht und festgestellt, dass nur Rastergrafiken inseriert werden können. Nun ist es jedoch so, dass diese Grafik (das Logo) stark verpixelt wenn man die PDF vergrößert. Also das typische Verpixeln bei Rastergrafiken.
    Ich kenne doch einige Formulare, in denen ist ebenfalls eine Umfrage + vektoriesierter Grafik zu sehen.
    Jetzt meine Frage:
    Welche möglichkeiten habe ich, um mein Logo in einer PDF Datei, die auch interaktive Texte (Eingabefeld, Unterschriftsfeld, Dropdown-Menü etc) besitzt, einzuarbeiten?
        Hier eine PDF mit Grafik, bei 400% Zoom - kein Verpixeln
        Hier mein Logo. Verpixelt. Die Grafik habe ich direkt über den Designer eingefügt
    Hoffe auch eure Hilfe!
    Danke

    Aus der Vektorgrafik ein PDF-Dokument erstellen und dieses Dokument dann als Vorlage im LiveCycle Designer verwenden.

  • LiveCycle Designer problem saving in Adobe Reader

    I re populated an old PDF file in LiveCycle Designer. Text, Date, Check boxes. When the new file is opened in Adobe Reader x, it will not save the data. Any way to fix this?

    Did you save the PDF as an Extended Rights PDF? You will need to open the PDF in Acrobat, go to Save As Other and Select "Reader Extended PDF". This will allow you to do things like save data in Reader.

  • 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?

  • Can't select or edit text fields in LiveCycle Designer

    Greetings!
    I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to edit the header text in this PDF, so I tried to do that in Acrobat PRO, which said: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I got a trial version of LiveCycle to see if I could edit it. But when I open the PDF in LiveCycle, I can only edit the input fields. All of the labels, all the text, headers is uneditable. I can't select it, I don't see it in the PDF Hierarchy either. Half of the Edit Menu is grayed out. Can't copy or anything else. Please help me figure out why this happens. If you need the original PDF, let me know, I can send it to you. Thank you.

    What happens when you try to edit the header? From Acrobat, when you open the "Tools" sidebar, is "Edit Document Text" grayed out/disabled? If you highlight some of the text, then right-click and select "Repace Text", do you get a popup warning about the form being interactive and having special features?
    In LiveCycle, I can't even select the text. The select box just goes right over it, and if it goes over buttons or input boxes, it does select them, but not the text or even the labels for the input forms.
    In Acrobat, I can click on "Edit Text & Images", but it tells me I need to go to LiveCycle. I don't see a "Replace Text" on right-click. There's "Edit Text", but it just tells me to take it to LiveCycle.

  • How to get LiveCycle Designer forms to ignore default text in fields when validating

    Hiya,
    I'm testing out Designer ES4 to build a simple form that's submitted via email. 
    Everything is working except for my text boxes...  They are set up as required fields but because I've included default text with instructions, if you press submit without editing the fields they're not validating as empty and not throwing an error message. 
    I’ve been searching the forums all day for a fix, but I’m too new to understand where to put code etc.  I’ve tried adding
    'text{!=placeholder}' in the validation pattern box but that doesn’t work… 
    All I have is LiveCycle Designer and I’m on windows 7.  Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Bruce - this looks like exactly what I'm after!
    I have a really noob question though - where do I go to enter code?!  Below is a screenshot of what I'm looking at - can you please talk me through how to make your suggested changes?
    Do I do it on the 'xml code' tab or somewhere else?

  • How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable.  How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    Hi Alan,
    TextField objects can expand dynamically.  There are a few things that you need to do:
    1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed.  This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
    2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
    3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
    4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form.  If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

  • Can't Edit Text- LiveCycle Designer 8.0

    I've been using Livecycle for years and I've always opened up certain documents, edited the text, field boxes, etc.
    All of a sudden, I go to edit a PDF in Livecycle (same pdf that I've always edited) and everything is locked. I can't delete, add text, move fields, nothing... It seems that the whole page got locked somehow. Any ideas on how to get it back to normal so that I can make edits? I'm using Windows Vista, Adobe Acrobat 8- Livecycle Designer 8.0.
    Thank you!

    I can lock selected fields, and confirm that I can't move them around in designer.  Then I can unlock those fields, and confirm that I now can move them around in designer.  But in either case, I cannot edit the fields in the preview window.  When the document is viewed in either Acrobat Pro or Reader, the fields can be edited.  This is just a problem with the Preview window in Livecycle Designer, and it is a huge hinderence to the person developing the form (a different developer).
    Interestingly, if I create a form in Designer and send it to this developer, the Preview window does work.  But for any form this other developer creates, the Preview window editing is disabled, even when she sends it to me.  So, I suspect it is setting somewhere...but darn if I can figure out what setting/where.

  • I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button.  When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format.  Is there a quick fix?

    Hi,
    You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
    In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

  • How can I use a script in a Livecycle Designer form, to force display of text in Title Case?

    Hello,
    I am a 'novice' who is DIY'ing the construction of a dynamic pdf form, using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7 (I know, it's a VERY old version!)
    [So, any help that comes along must be 'for Idiots'!]
    I need to construct a code (Java script?) so that a few of my text-fields DISPLAY data in Title Case - IRRESPECTIVE of how the user types in the data.
    So, for example, in a "Address" text-field...
    If someone types in ..
    "205 sherborne avenue"
    - OR -
    "205 Sherborne avenue"
    - OR -
    "205 SHERBORNE AVENUE"...
    I need the data to be DISPLAYED ESSENTIALLY as...
    "205 Sherborne Avenue".
    I found the following code online, and tried it in the 'exit' event of the field I need to modify (with 'language' selected as JavaScript)...
    <   this.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace(/\b([a-z])/g, function (_, initial) {return initial.toUpperCase();});   >
    ... This did convert all the 'initial' letters of the words to Upper Case - AS LONG AS they were not ALL typed in Upper Case!
    So, that code worked for the first two of my samples for Sherborne Avenue above - but it did NOT work for the last one...
    That is, "205 SHERBORNE AVENUE" did NOT get converted to Title Case - which is what I need help with.
    Thanks in advance...

    Hey TundraSteve,
    Thanks a tonne!
    Works perfectly!!!
    In fact, your solution is so elegant and direct, that even I am beginning to get a sense of how it works... I have looked at LOTS of similar codes in the past few days, but was not at all getting a sense of how they are working! But comparing your solution with the earlier one I mentioned, I am beginning to get a sense of things!
    Any suggestions for what I should read-up in order to understand this king of coding?
    I have basically been using the built-in 'Help' - and, trial-and-error - and I have designed my first form - a pretty elaborate one, actually!
    So, it would be great if you could guide me through the 'learning curve' a bit!
    [I have figured-out the 'basics' - that is, I can lay out the form, use 'if-expressions' (FormCalc), trigger events, even build Subforms that are hidden but 'appear' when triggered by other actions, and so on. What I can't figure out are the various 'code languages' (syntax?) that are being used - like " var sometext", for eg.!]
    Cheers, and thanks again!

  • Keyword tags text box poorly designed, crashes PSE 8

    I was very interested to see that PSE 8 allows you to enter keyword tags using a text box, as other programs do, promising much faster tagging with large sets of tags.  But the feature has serious bugs rendering it unusable.
    After trying the keyword-tags text box for less than a minute on my large catalog with 426 tags, PSE 8 crashed.    Even with a fresh catalog and the default tag categories, it will crash after using the text box about 40 times.   (See below for a recipe.)
    Another bug concerns tags with commas in them, e.g. "Truckee, CA" (I have a couple hundred such Place tags).  If you type "Tru" in the text box, select the tag with the mouse, and hit enter, PSE 8 will create two new tags, Truckee and CA, in the Other category, and apply them to the photo.
    A design misfeature: After you select and apply a tag with the text box, it loses the keyboard focus.  So to select another tag for the same photo, you have to move your hand to the mouse and click in the text box again.  Partially defeats the whole purpose.
    Recipe for reproducing the bug:
    1. Create a new catalog.
    2. Import 50 photos.
    3. Select the next photo.
    4. In the keyword tag text box, type "p" and then enter.
    5. Go to step 3.
    On the 40th or 41st photo, my PSE 8 reliably crashes (Vista 32, 4 GB of memory).   If after step 1 you use the Keyword Tags > + > From File command to load a tag heirarchy of 210 tags (see the attached file), it will crash after just 9 photos.   And with 426 tags, it crashes after 5 photos.
    Interestingly, on my Vista 64 system (unsupported by Adobe, 8 core x 2.7 GHz), PSE 8 doesn't crash, but the text box gets unusably slow very quickly.  WIth 210 keyword tags in the catalog, it soon takes about 12 seconds to find a tag after you type a unique prefix.   That time gradually gets longer the more you use the text box.  With 426 tags, it takes almost 20 seconds to apply a tag using the text box.
    On both systems, it's clear what the nature of the bug is: Each time you use the text box, the process's memory grows by many megabytes.  I believe my Vista 64 system doesn't crash (at least not immediately) because it provides 3.5 GB of memory for use by PSE 8, while Vista 32 only provides about 1.5 GB.
    I'm getting a sinking feelilng...

    Is the white triangle to the left of "Keyword Tags" pointing down or pointing to the right?  See this screen shot:
    Click on the white triangle -- does that make a difference?
    If not, try deleting the Organizer's preferences:

  • To active Text Formatting function and more tool bars in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11

    I have an original PDF form need to be edited to a fillable form, I can add Text Field into form as a fillable text field into this PDF form in the Design View, however I can not edit any of the  text , table and several other Objects.  I am an authorized to the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11 , How can I active my whole tool Bar to edit the PDF file? If the otiginal PDF is locked or read only for the above objects, how can I unlock them?

    Hi,
    if you import a given PDF file into Designer, it is displayed as background artwork in your form.
    Most tools of Designer then will be deactivated.
    There is no way to edit this PDF background in Designer, as the kind of PDF you create with Designer is completely different to the one you create with Acrobat or InDesign.
    You either can edit your PDF in Acrobat or you have to build a new form in Designer from scratch, I believe.

  • How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design

    How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design? I mean is there any indication, where I will come to know so an so tex boxes are linked together?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Peter,
    well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
    Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Set Location of individual text box - report design

    Post Author: sonjeeva
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi Guys,
    Is it possible to set location of an individaul text box to be at the end of report? I know if I have this at end of report area it would work. But my report has a sub report in end of report area and the text box doesn't appear at the end of both reports.
    Cheers

    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    If you are creating the report through code (C#, VB etc.) you could get the location/size of the subreport and then set the text box location based on those parameters.
    I don't think it's possible from within the Crystal report designer itself. At least I couldn't find a place to do this.
