New Acrobat X / LiveCycle User - Cannot Freely add/move Text Fields - Why?

I have (what seems to me) an elementary question that I cannot seem to figure out.
I have a form that I created in MS Word with placeholders for fields such as pick-lists, text fields, or check boxes. Now that, to me, is not uuber fancy, but I cannot seem to add text fields freely in Acrobat X without the constraints of the rulers or grid lines limiting WHERE I can place my text box, etc. How can I change this? I created a form a few weeks ago and didn't recall having this limitation, but now I am whiule creating a different form. Any idea how to work around this?
P.S. I even tried creating the doc instead through LiveCycle, by uploading via the Word doc and editing from there, but I cannot seem to get LiveCycle to work at all. Everytime I select the Word doc to upload, the program stops responding and freezes. I am using LiveCycle ver 9.0.0.0.0 and X Pro 10.1.0
Thank you for any help one can offer (for a non-uuber techie type)
Cheers,
Amber

thank you, that fixed it. Whew, I knew it was something simple.

Add a text field in ToolBar

Hi,
I'd like to add a text field in my toolbar like the one used by Acrobat for the Zoom. I also want to attached a menu to it. It will help me to show the user the document's list of layers, and my 'active' layer will be shown in the text field.
I couldn't find any explanation neither in the API reference nor in the snippets exemples of the SDK.
If someone knows...
Thanks

The APIs necessary to put non-buttons in a standard Acrobat toolbar are not exposed to 3rd parties at this time :(.
if you want/need to do something like this, I would suggest using OS functionality to create a floating palette of your own.

Hi,
You have not mentioned the version you are using (assume its 5.0 or lower). Also, do you want to add a custom field & also programatically update it? If you want to add a custom field , you can use EEW.
But, from what you have written, I have a feeling that you can use some of the (existing) standard fields. What is your exact requirement.

G'day
Unfortunately I don't have the API. My Adobe Reader installation updating to version XI failed, and subsequent attempts to fall back on the X version are blocked by the partial install of XI. Damn Adobe stuff.
Could someone please post the relevant part of the API to give me some pointers, please.
I ha mucked about with some information I found on the Web, and come up with the following, which fails because I can't work out how to address the current document with the variable myDoc.

Cannot input data into Text Field on from Adobe Acrobat Reader

I created a form in Acrobat 5 that has check boxes and text fields. Using reader I can open the doc and use check boxes and input text into fields. Once this doc is loaded to our web server and a user opens or downloads the file they can check the boxes but cannot enter any text into the text fields. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

And so.. what is invalid?
I've uploaded the pdf files as example:
My generated pdf
http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/before.pdf
The modified version by Adobe Acrobat Reader:
http://compuhelp.free.fr/adobe/after.pdf
(I can generate a more complexe pdf file with fonts, images,... it will be displayed correctly, but Adobe always want to modifiy it).
So perhaps I missed somthing into the pdf file format specification ?

Hi,
In your driver program you will have one standard include RVADOPFO.
Copy all the code available in that include and make it to Z include.
In this include function module ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE, will have the email address, subject etc.. details.
So You can modify the contents of the imported parameters here.
The above code will trigger only when update debugging is switched on!!!!!

Urgent! How to add another text field using Servlet

Hi all,
I'm using Java Servlet to create a submit page. I want to let users to submit their products and as many as they like.
What I made several chechboxs of common products on the first part of the page, so that users can simply select from these common products. If they have more to submit, they can click a "Add" button, then another textfield is supposed to appear in the same page below the "Add" button and user can type in, then if they have more, they click "Add", another textfiled should apprear under the first added textfield, so on and so on. After finishing type in all their products, they can click "submit" button to submit to the database.
I want all the inputed data stay in the same page when user add more and more, so that they can alwasy see and change before submit. I had problem to detect the "Add" button and add new textfield while keeping all the data user has already inputed. How can I do this?
Tons of thanks!
Victor

Hi
I normally use "hidden" tables for something like this. To accomplish the effect I use JavaScript and a stylesheet. Remember once the servlet sent the page to the browser, it can't interact with it anymore - you'll have to use client side script - which off course you can sent as part of your servlet output :-). I'm including some code that will get you on your way...
Style Sheet Code:.hide {display:none};
.show {display:block};
Java Script Code:var current = 0;
function showMore() {
if (current < 5) {
    current++;
    switch (current) {
      case 2:
        document.getElementById("showme2").style.display = "block";
        break;
      case 3:
        document.getElementById("showme3").style.display = "block";
        break;
      case 4:
        document.getElementById("showme4").style.display = "block";
        break;
      case 5:
        document.getElementById("showme5").style.display = "block";
        break;
function showLess() {
if (current > 1) {
    switch (current) {
      case 2:
        document.getElementById("showme2").style.display = "none";
        document.forms[0].term[1].value = "";
        break;
      case 3:
        document.getElementById("showme3").style.display = "none";
        document.forms[0].term[2].value = "";
        break;
      case 4:
        document.getElementById("showme4").style.display = "none";
        document.forms[0].term[3].value = "";
        break;
      case 5:
        document.getElementById("showme5").style.display = "none";
        document.forms[0].term[4].value = "";
        break;
    current--;
Extract from JSP page (easy to convert to normal servlet code):
<table id="showme1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="show">
     <tr><td><input type="text" name="someitem"></td></tr>
</table>

<% for (int i = 2; i < 6; i++) { %>
<table id="showme<%=i%>" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="hide">
     <tr><td><input type="text" name="someitem"></td></tr>
</table>
<% } %>There are other ways to do the JavaScript, but the code above is cross-browser :-). You'll see with the switch statement in the JavaScript, that there is a limit to the rows that gets displayed - adjust as you please, just remember to also update the loop that generates the tables. Also note that each text field has the same name! The result of this is that an array of these fields are submitted, so you're recieving servlet will need to loop through the array basically take appropriate action on the fields that don't contain an empty string. Something like:String[] items = request.getParameterValues("someitem");
for (int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
    if (!items.trim().equals("")) {
//do something

To add a text field in IDOC

Hi,
My requirement is The newly configured Text field to contain the NxTrend Po number needs to be available in EDI 850 IDoc for XI maps the value to the field.This text field is configured at Sales Order header level and named as end customer PO.This field should be available in the IDoc so that the value of end customeru2019s PO can be mapped there.
The changes are only required for NxTrend and do not need to be made for regular EDI customers. The message ID for NxTrend is NXT_ORDERS.
I am new to IDOCS.Can anyone tell me how to create the text field in the IDOC?

Hi,
To add a field in the IDOC you need to go for EXTENSION OF IDOC.

Windows users cannot copy or move files

I have several windows users that cannot copy a file on the server and paste it somewhere else on the server or to their hard drive. The same user can log into a mac and do what they want to do. Any help?
Here is the error message. "Cannot copy file_name: the specified network name is no longer available".
Rich

Let me clarify. They can log in to the server FROM a mac and copy the files where they need them. I think this rules out a permissions issue. Usually the file transfer goes about half way before it errors out. Sometimes the files actually do copy and paste to the new location but the error message still comes up.

New QuickTime 7.4 Update Cannot Run .AVI movie files? How to play AVI?

Hello.
I updated my home iMac's QT to the latest ver 7.4, had some .avi files use to be able to play while I was in the 1st gen iMac running Tiger (didn't play those files until now) My office G5 Tower running on latest 10.4.11 with QT prior to current version also can play the similar .avi files.
But my iMac's QT cannot play them, the mov files are white in colour, nothing.
How can I play my .avi files?
Thanks and cheers

VLC works good too

Another user cannot run QT movies I send her

She is running a Powerbook G4, Tiger, current QT player, etc. When I send a CD ROM quality movie she tells me she gets an "error 5000" so she says. What am I doing wrong when exporting from iMovieHD to this format that prevents her from seeing the movie?

How are you "delivering" the file? Over a network?
Error 5000 usually means a "permissions" issue.
Did you burn the file to CD? Did you use the Finder or other software to burn?

Hi,
there might be incomplete language transports in your system or other things. But first you could position the cursor on the button in the application and then press F1. Then the help information is displayed together with the technical information where you should see the technical info about the object.

How to add new "text" field in GL item fast entry?

Hi Gurus,
Is that possible to add "text" column or field in GL item fast entry. For example, if i go to Txn F-04, i enter all the details then i go to: "Goto>GL item fast entry (shift+F8). Now you will see layout (GL item fast entry). So back to my question before, is that possible to add new field or column (text field) in this layout? If the answer is Yes, appreciate Gurus help and guide me in configuration, if any.
Thank you

Hi Sreehari Annavaram,
Thank you for your kind reply. Based on the answer from the link you have given me (as per below quote), there's no "DEM03" in my selection screen. We only have SAP01, SAP02 and GL001 (customised layout). That's why i had created new customised layout GL002 and try to add the "text" field in layout as per my first question. But system still won't allow it.
*"In F-02 under editing option screen screen templates and line layout variant for document entry will be there in that
GL accounts items for fast entry select DEM03 u will get the text item"*
Appreciate help.
Thank you
Regards,
Nazrul

How do I add a new page dynamically base on the expendable text field?

Hi, All,
I've created a form with flow subform and expendable text fields. When the user fills out lengthy content, the form get cut off. Is there a way to dynamically add pages base on the content that user fills in the expendable text field?
Thanks,

May be you need check some things..
1) See if the form is saved as Dynamic PDF form.
2) The TextField should be set the "Expand to Fit" Check box checked in the Height property.
3) The subform that contains the TextField should set to Auto Fit for Height.
Thanks
