Manipulating drop-down boxes for fillable forms in Adobe XI Pro

I'm creating a form with multiple drop-down boxes. Is there anyway to create a selection with multiple lines? For instance, for addresses? Can I center the text inside of the drop-down, or bold it? Can a drop down be split into multiple lines to flow along with paragraphs?
Also, can a fillable text form expand without disrupting the rest of the document?
Is there any program that will do any of this?

Is there anyway to create a selection with multiple lines? For instance, for addresses?
- Yes, but only with a script and it's not a documented feature so sometimes it doesn't work well.
Can I center the text inside of the drop-down, or bold it?
- No.
Can a drop down be split into multiple lines to flow along with paragraphs?
- Not sure what you mean there... How is this different from the first question?
Also, can a fillable text form expand without disrupting the rest of the document?
- No.
Is there any program that will do any of this?
- The last one (expanding text fields) can be done if you create your form in LiveCycle Designer. The rest I'm not sure about.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

What is forwarded when " as in-line text" is selected in the drop-down box for forwarding a message. i.e. are attachments forwarded?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.

I have developed a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The form has several fields and some of the information is captured in a bar code. What programs must be used to open the form to properly fill the form out? Adobe Reader, Adobe Xi, Ibook, etc.. I

I have created a fillable form using Adobe Acrobat Pro that contains several data fields with some feeding data to a barcode in the document. I have a "button" set up to save and send the completed form one it is completed. Some of the user are having troubles filling out the form as they are using various programs to do such as iBook, Adobe Reader, etc.... Sometimes the information is not transferred to the barcode and sometimes the "submittal button" doesn't function properly.
Please provide a solution or give me a list of the programs that must be used to properly open and fill out the form.
Greatly appreciated.

Best option is to use Adobe Reader (or Acrobat, of course) on a desktop computer (ie, not on a mobile device). Any other configuration is likely to be problematic.

How to get at Colour drop down box for simple shape ?

Hi,
If I go new file, Insert Symbol, Movie Clip, then draw a
circle and a line using those two tools, I am unable to get the
colour drop down box to show so that I can select Alpha. I have
managed to do this many times for an imported to library graphic
from Freehand, one simply clicks on the graphics line after the
graphic has been drag/dropped to stage, go properties and the
Colour drop down list from where you select the word Alpha appears.
I have tried a single click, a double click, a treble click,
just cant see that dropdown box for simple shapes !

Drop Down Box for Date Range Selection

I have multiple queries on the same worksheet with different variables for each. To simplify changing the one consistent variable, the date range, I have added a drop down box tied to all infoproviders in the query. This would work if I wanted to select a single date but I cannot determiine how to select a date range (01/2010 - 12/2010). Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? I am using Netweaver 7.1.

You can use two single-input variables: one for DATE FROM and the other for DATE TO and use them in query definition to restrict the date (restriction type: Range between DATE FROM and DATE TO).
Then you create two dropdown boxes, one for each variable.

Drop down box in interactive form UI element in webdynpro

Hello All,
I want to get a drop down list in adobe interactive form. I did the following.
1. created a simple dictionary data type and populated it with values
2. created a context and bound it to the simple dictionary type.
3. when I drag the element to the pdf page, it shows it as a drop down list.
4. when I run the application also, the drop down list comes but the values are not populated. I am not able to use the dropdown also.
What should I be doing now to get a dropdownlist that works?
Regards,
Chander

Hello Chander,
what you want to create is a drop down list populated by the Web Dynpro context values. When you use drag-and-drop it just creates a regular drop down list (where you need to specify the values in the Designer).
However if you select in your tools palette the Web Dynpro tab you will find special drop down lists. So here is what you do:
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.

Toolbar Drop-Down Box for rectangle etc not working

Dropdown boxes for Toolbar (Pan, Transform, rectangle, Bezier, rectangle Mask) do not respond. The tools on right hand side of the bar (Add Generator, Behavior, Filter) are OK. I am using OSX 10.8.5 and motion 5.07.

By the shear nature of a dropdown list, only one value may be returned as it is for one and only one field.
If you need to return multiple values, you would need to create a modal screen with a table control on it and set options to allow the user multiple selected rows, which you would then recognize with an 'X' in the SEL field you add to the internal table and table control.

Drop-Down-Box (F4 Input Help) for formula variable in BEx Analyzer (BI 7.0)

Hi Gurus,
is it possible to get a drop down box for a ready for input formula variable in the BEx Analyzer (not BEx Web!)?
We want to let the users choose scaling factors 1, 1000 or 1000000 (implemented via this formula variable). In the settings of the formula variable you can only choose a default value but there seems to be no option to provide all three factors in a drop down box like the ones for characteristic value variables.
We could prevent other entries in the variable pop up via customer exit (i_step 3) but the business is wishing an F4 input help like the ones for characteristic values.
Thanks for your help,
Marco

Hi Macro,

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

Multiple select options in 1 drop down box?

Hi,
I have created a form that works perfectly except for the fact that I need to provide multiple select options in the 1 drop down box; for example, I'm asking what product the customer is interested in and his answer could be multiple items such as Soap, Sanitizer, Hand Towels, Face Cloths etc...
At the moment, the customer can only select 1 item not multiple.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
It is not possible to allow the user to select multiple items in a dropdown list.
You could use a list box, which does allow multiple selections.
Good luck,
Niall

Creating cascading drop down boxes in SharePoint 2010 using one list

We have a support request form tied to a list that end users input data into which when submitted sends out an email.
Is it possible to create a drop down box on the form that limits the choices in the "subcategory" column, based on what is chosen in the "category" column.
For instance in the category column we have SharePoint, Oracle, and Web Tools as choices.
In the subcategory column we have items related to each category. We only want items that are related to the selected choice to appear in the subcategory drop down box.
I see examples in InfoPath using "Multiple Lists" (one list for city, one for state, etc), but nothing using the same list. I would rather not use multiple lists if possible.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, you want to create a cascading drop-down list box using one list.
To achieve what you want, we can:
Create two fields(category and subcategory) in drop-down list box type in the form in InfoPath.
Add the list which contains the values of the category and subcategory columns to the form as an external data.
Right click the category field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the category column in the list, select Show only entries with unique display names.
Right click the subcategory field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the subcategory column in the list, then click Filter Data.
Click Add, select the category column in the list in the first box, select is equal to in the second box, choose select a field or group in the third box, then choose Main in the Fields and select the category field in the form.
Click OK.
Best regards.
Thanks
