Need help formatting text field default value

Hello,
I've received a customer request to put default text into the Value section of a text field. They're requesting that the default text include line breaks, bullets, etc. I added a Text Field object and added the default text to the Object tab > Value tab Default field but can't figure out how to add line breaks, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Saskia

Hi,
this is possible but not doable with the UI of Designer.
The workaround is as follows:
1. Create a text, enter your default text with all the formattings you need (text color, bold text, line breaks etc.)
2. Create a text field and enter any word as default value. Let's say "Default".
3. Select the text and the switch to the XML Source view.
There you will find all the formatted text between the <value> tags such as:
<value>
     <exData contentType="text/html">
          <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p style="letter-spacing:0in">This is<span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span></p><p style="color:#ff0000;letter-spacing:0in">default Text</p><p style="letter-spacing:0in"><span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span>• with<span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold">RichText</span> formatting.</p></body>
     </exData>
</value>
4. Select the whole code between the <value> tags and copy it to the clipboard (ctrl + c).
5. Go to the Design View, select the text field, go back to the XML Source view.
6. There you'll also find the value <tags> and your default value you entered before.
<value>
     <text>Default</text>
</value>
7. Select this code section and paste the value copied before to the clipboard by pressing ctrl + v.
8. That's it. When you now go back to the Design View your text field shows a formatted RichText as defaul text.

  • Need help regarding text field

    Hi ,
    I have a text field in my form which will contains a numeric value.Based on this value i have to show those many text fields to enter the name.
    I have tried this code by keeping the texfield in a sub form and try to display subform  using instance manager .see the below script.
    Textfield.NewState.presence="visible";
    var oSubform = xfa.resolveNode("form1.Page1.Textfield");
    oSubform.instanceManager.setInstances(3);
    form1.Page1.Textfield.instanceManager.addInstance();
    but this code is not working.
    Please help me!!
    Thanks in advance
    bharathi.

    you can't use the instanceManager for a TextField.. your oSubform should represents a Subform not a TextField
    you can use instanceManager only for containers such as rows and subforms

  • Auto Populating Text Fields Default Values

    I am using Acrobat X Pro.  I have a multiple page form and would like the "Legal Address" field entry/value after typed to auto-populate, or be the default value, of my "Mailing Address" field further down the form.  I can accomplish this if the fields are the same name, ***HOWEVER*** I just want it to pre-populate it and if the "Mailing Address" differs from "Legal Address" be able to type over that (Mailing Address) on the form entry without also changing the Legal Address.  If the fields are named the same, both will always be the same / updated together.
    Any help - or examples!

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks that was helpful and worked although I now appear to have another problem.
    When I enter data into current title (eg Manager, Finance) data in proposed title field (eg Manager Finance) is auto populated as expected - correct
    When I change the data that was auto populated in the proposed title field (eg Manager, FInance) to the new title (eg Director, Finance) is keeps the new tltle - correct
    When I select something from another field eg cost code, the data I manually keyed into the proposed title reverts back to what was entered into the current title (eg Manager FInance)
    Is there a way of committing the data that is entered automatically or manually so it remains in the field?
    Regards,
    Michael

  • Need Help formatting text in a chart in Keynote

    I'm attempting to edit/format some of the text in a chart. This is an imported Powerpoint presentation
    so I'm limited to using the fonts available on the originators PC.
    On the chart is a legend, showing little coloured boxes which reference the coloured elements in the chart. The text beside these is too long, and the text box runs off the page. I know I can go to the inspector and change some parameters (ie horizontal spacing) but I really need to break the text into two (or more) lines. However, I cannot find a means to enable text wrap. I have tried to create an invisible additional column (Chart/edit data) but I cannot hide the box.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    You can add a line break in the Chart Data Editor cells by typing Option-Return at the point you want the break. This will let you have legends with text that runs two or more lines.

  • Need Help - Format Text

    Hi
    I am writing a servlet that reads a text file (*.txt) and then outputs it in HTML, as you do with servlets.
    Sounds simple enough, but there is a few problems I have and am hoping for some guidance.
    It is basically a log of jobsets that fell over the night before and need to be posted on the web.
    - Java 1.3.1 is a requirement (that means .split() cannot be used!)
    - The .txt file may vary in length from 10 to 30 lines.
    - The lines are numbered.
    - The data on each line varies and may differ from log to log (ie: Line 1 may not always be for Jobset 1)
    - The "BLAH" and "FOO" columns needs to be in bold
    - The return statements ("Completed Successfully" or "Error....etc") need to be on a new line directly below the Jobset.
    I honestly cannot think of how to do this, due to the flexible nature of the .txt file, and especially without .split().
    I have played with a BufferedReader and StringTokenizer, but it is just driving me crazy.
    Sample of Txt below.
    Jobsets for FOOSERVER, Run time:   2005-11-09-11.10.01.550000     Qual:     1234
      1 BLAH1  - Foo Extracts Completed Successfully
      2 BLAH2  - Foo55 Data Extract Completed Successfully
      3 BLAH7  - Foo HR System Jobs Completed Successfully
      4 BLAH9  - Foo blah to MVS Error on Line 47 "Data not found" and other problems
      5 BLAH44  - Foo Extract Interface Completed Successfully Thanks in advance.

    - Java 1.3.1 is a requirement (that means .split()
    cannot be used!)I think I am nitpicking but 1.3.1 would be a constraint rather than an requirement. But you could still make use of a method similar to split with some third part regex packages.

    if :p3_note_id is null
    then
    insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
    Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

  • Formatted Text Field for getting Date

    I need a text field to get Date. does anyone know where I can find such a thing?
    all it needs to do is allow the user to type a date in dd/MM/yy format.
    10x.

    in a jtable it has a problem - when I press tab to exit the field the date is not changed.
    i set the on focus lost behaviour to commit, but still not working.
    also, it allows me to enter 4823749823/02/02 - and it translates it to the right format - I'm interested in something more fixed - allows to enter only 2 digits for day, 2 digits for month,2 digits for year.
    the relevent code I'm using is:
    // a cellEditor that uses a formatted text field that holds a Date object
    public class JFormattedDateCellEditor extends DefaultCellEditor {
    public JFormattedDateCellEditor(final JFormattedTextField textField) {
    super(textField);
    textField.setFocusLostBehavior(JFormattedTextField.COMMIT);
    textField.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
    textField.setFont(JUtility.theFont);
    textField.setBorder(null);
    textField.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {

    Hi Experts,
    Finally with all above suggestions i have chosen tables vbrk(billing document header data),kna1(customer header),vbrp.
    1.I created view to find the output of report with conditions as follows:
    tables:vbrk,kna1,vbrp
    vbrk-vbeln(invoice number)

  • Need help with the session state value items.

    I need help with the session state value items.
    Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
    When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
    in table A.
    When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
    in table A.
    In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
    How can I implement this?

    You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
    For example
    SELECT YN_COLUMN
    FROM My_TABLE
    INTO My_Page_Item
    WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
    If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.
