No Spaces in text form.

Hi, I have a form and in the form I have a text box where the
user can input his or her username. However, I dont want to allow
them to be able to submit an username with spaces.
For example if the following were usernames:
GoodUsername - is what i want.
Bad User Name -what i dont want and want to prevent users
from submitting these kinds of usernames.
please any kind of help will be appreciated. thanks.

Why don't we all embrace the sterotype of arrogant tech guys
who have to put up with stupid users?
The fact is, on web pages people skim and read quickly and we
often need to adjust our approach to conform to user behavior. Yes,
it's frustrating when people don't read instructions. But it's
frustrating for users when web forms scold them, force them to
enter data in strange formats, require fields that have nothing to
do with the transaction, etc. etc.
In this case, if there is a legitimate reason for excluding
spaces from a username, you can explain that on the form. And when
someone puts a space in anyway, why not just correct and notify
them that it was corrected? Does it enhance the user experience to
flash a big "ERROR! STUPID USER!" message at them?
It's like requiring users to enter a field in uppercase. If
the user doesn't type the field in uppercase, do we yell at them?
Or just convert it to uppercase?

Creating spaces in PDF form- text is too close together

Thank you in advance for all of your tips.
I am a novice to Adobe PDF form creator and I need some assistance. I am creating the forms and I have all my boxes set, but the issue is that I can not find where to space the text boxes from the top line to the bottom. (As we would do with the enter/return key) I have the full letter page to fill but when I print the form it's on a 1/4 of a page and I need all the text to fill the whole page. I don't necessary want to enlarge the boxes to fill the space.
Where can I create extra spacing between each top and bottom lines?

Only the creator of that form can do that.

Copy and Paste from Safari to MS Word Text Form Field adds a trailing space

I know this is just a minor issue, but an inconvenience for me nonetheless.
When I go to the same page and copy and paste the same text from Firefox, the trailing space is not added.
What I find puzzling is that when I paste the same copied text into notepad from Safari, it does not add the trailing space.
So it is likely an issue with MS Word's method of pasting text, but strange to me that it does not happen from Firefox.
Is there a way to inspect the exact contents of the clipboard to see if there are any differences?
I just did a little bit more testing, and found that Word only adds an trailing space when I paste into a "Text Form Field" from only Safari.
Maybe the solution is to stop using MS Word. (Ha, Ha)

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

Passing text parameter with spaces to oracle forms function

Hi,
I have a personalized link in R12.1.3 from OAF to a custom form, which is working fine:
Item Style = Link
Destination URI = form:PO:XXPO:STANDARD:XXXABC03:VENDOR_ID={@VendorID} QUERY_MODE=No
View Instance = SupplierVO
XXPO is the responsibility key, and PO the responsibility application
XXXABC03 is the function name
VENDOR_ID and QUERY_MODE are the form parameters
This link works as expected.
I have a problem passing a text parameter containing spaces. The Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide
Release 12.1.3 states the following
Note: If you wish to send varchar2 parameter values that contain spaces, use \" to enclose the string value. For example, to pass in something of the form:
TXN_NUMBER=LT INVOICE 1
Use:
TXN_NUMBER=\"LT INVOICE 1\"
So my personalization becomes
Item Style = Link
Destination URI = form:PO:XXPO:STANDARD:XXXABC03:VENDOR_ID={@VendorID} VENDOR_NAME=\"{@VendorName}\" QUERY_MODE=No
View Instance = SupplierVO
But the problem is that the spaces in the vendor name parameter are replaced with %20 when the form opens, e.g. EXAMPLE%20SUPPLIER%20LTD instead of EXAMPLE SUPPLIER LTD
Has anybody got this type of personalization working? Thanks in advance, Ruth
Additional Note:
In real life I have created a workaround for this example. I just pass vendor_id and have modified the XXXABC03 form to derive vendor_name from vendor_id. But I now have another requirement where the parameter WILL have spaces.
In desperation I may add a function to the form to replace %20 with a space in text parameters.
But it would be nice if Oracle worked how it is explained in the manual......

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a built in function. Else, Javascript code would be necessary.
Using the technique in the link below will do.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that tabIndex attribute is supported in ADF Faces. Link below.

They are suggestions to use the <h:inputText> component instead but not sure if that is supported and if other problem may occur.

Text in fillable text form gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form?

I'm trying to create a text-fillable PDF form. However, when I add a text form, the text I test in it gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form by default (see 2nd photo below). How do I correct this and make the text take up ALL the space in the form like the 1st photo?

Have you set the text field properties options to multiline? Is so, please attach a screen shot of that dialog box so we can see how it is set.

Insufficient space on the form for the pasted content

I am getting an error when i am dragging the table to the form
"insufficient space on the form for the pasted content"
how to rectify ?

Hi Tarang,
When you drag and drop data source to the form, it automatically sets the length equal to the field's data length.
So you need to resize it to fit in the screen.
for example:
if you have a long text object in data source.
when you drag and drop it gets both the coulmns TDLINE & other.
but you only need to display the TDLINE so delete the other coulmn of this field in the form.
thats how we resize tables. this is quite offen in nested tables.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sai

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache of sent text?

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache sent the text?
For example, I posted an article on a news site, but found that only a small part of my article was posted.

I'm not sure whether Firefox saved that information. There is a chance that it is in the session history file, especially if you haven't closed that tab yet. To check that:
Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder) using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Find all files starting with the name sessionstore and copy them to a safe working location (e.g., your documents folder). In order to read a .js file, it is useful to rename it to a .txt file. Or you could drag it to Wordpad or your favorite word processing software.
The script will look somewhat like gibberish, but if you search for a word in your article that doesn't normally appear in web pages, you may be able to find your data.
Any luck?
For the future, you might want to consider this add-on, although I don't know how long it saves data after you submit a form: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/].

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again.
Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
Thanks in advance

How to remove space below text?

In the screenshot below, how to remove space below text? I simply added a text box using the type tool and I get that extra space bellow the letter "B" that I don't need. I want to remove that space to center the letter within the octogon.
Thanks!

You might consider giving the letter a negative baseline shift and aligning it to centre.
That way you can adjust it so that its anchor point coincides with the centre of the hexagon.
Like this:
Another thing: You may find it easier working with type if you hide bounding boxes.

Export Excel Table in .txt File with space delimited text in UNICODE Format

Hi all
I've a big unsolved problem: I would like to convert an Excel table with some laboratory data in it (descriptions as text, numbers, variables with some GREEK LETTERS, ...). The output should be a formatted text with a clear structure. A very good solution is
given by the converter in Excel "Save As" .prn File. All works fine, the formattation is perfect (it does not matter if some parts are cutted because are too long), but unfortunately the greek letters are converted into "?"!!!
I've tried to convert my .xlsx File in .txt File with formatting Unicode and the greek letters are still there! But in this case the format is not good, the structure of a table is gone!
Do you know how to save an Excel file in .prn but with Unicode formatting instead of ANSI or a .txt with space delimited text?
Thanks a lot to everyone that can help me!
M.L.C.

This solution works in Excel/Access 2013.
Link the Excel table into Access.
In Access, right-click the linked table in the Navigation Pane, point your mouse cursor to "Export", and then choose "Text File" in the sub-menu.
Name the file, and then under "Specify export options", check "Export data with formatting and layout". Click "OK".
Choose either Unicode or Unicode (UTF-8) encoding. Click "OK".
Click "Close" to complete the export operation.

Space around text in textField.

Hi,
See attatched code.
I made a simpel textFiled with some text and a border.
Does anyone knows how to get rid of the extra space between
the text and the border of the textField? I'm goning crazy with
this.
I made the width of the textFiled the width of the text and
the height of the textField the height of the text. But because of
the extra space the text will not show as I wanted to be.
Is there a solution for this? To remove the extra space
surrounding the text?
Thanks.

unfortunately no :(
I tried that already. There is also no top margin and bottom
margin property that I could use :(
I have a text line, and I must position this line to the x/y
coordinates of the righttop of the textField. But with this space
it will not exactly position on the given x/y.
There must be a solution to get rid of this space? Or maybe I
use the wrong object to do this?
Anyone?
