PDF form, vanishing text when click

Hello
I´m working with a form were car dealers can fill out name, address, registration numbers and so on when they sell a car.
If I make a text field I place a standard text inside the field "write here" so they know were to write.
How do I do to make the standrad text to dissapere whem they click on the "write here text"? I only get to the point were they must mark the standard text and then write a new text. If not the standard text is still there and the new text put behind.
Is it possible?

Also, if you don't want the default text to print, add the following line of code:
// Set field to not print if empty
event.target.display = event.value ? display.visible : display.noPrint;

  • PDF-form looses text style on another computer

    I created a PDF-form with text fields using our corporate font. My colleague has to open it in the Preview and insert text into those fields (she has corporate font installed). But while opening and typing the text, she got my text style lost (corporate font and probably its size). What should I do for she types in my forn and get the same text style as I have? Thank you.

    Do NOT use Apple Preview to open PDF forms. It corrupts them in various ways and is very buggy.
    Stick with Adobe software for best results.

  • Cursor automatically jumps to end to text when clicking inside and online form

    When I type text in an online form like the one I am using to post this question and I want to go back and edit my text I click on the text/line I want to edit in the online form  but my cursor automatically jumps to the very end of the text. 
    Is there a setting I can change to stop this from happening?
    Thanks.

    the best way to test is to remove OnKeyUp="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"  and then check whether you still have the problem
    strange that the problem is there even when you replace OnKeyUp with onChange because the function should not be executed until the change is complete. also replace OnKeyUp with onBlur

  • PDF Form with Text in Particular Font

    I have created a Certificate of Completion in CS4. It is 8.5x11 and, among other things, has a TIFF certificate background and border overlaid with text. My customer wants a PDF in which they can type two pieces of info: the name of the awardee and the date. These go in different places and in different fonts and sizes. How do I create such a PDF so that only this info can be entered, and entered in the correct size, font and area?
    Should I post this in the PDF forums?

    Basically, you need to create a pdf form.
    Add a text field to your form.
    There you can choose which font your want the text to appear in.
    The trick is, when you export from InDesign, in the "Advanced Tab" — set "Subset fonts when percentage…" to 0%, so the whole font embeds.'
    I believe there's an option in Acrobat to embed the font as well, but I'm not recalling what it it.
    But that will ensure the font appears correctly.

  • PDF Form Printing Text, but no Form

    I have an accountant trying to print a PDF Form.  It cannot be saved, but only printed.  When the form is completed and printed, it only prints out the entered text, and nothing else.  All other PDF docs print fine
    IT conditions:
    She prints to an older Panasonic Copy machine
    Her printer connection is Shared
    Another PC can print the same form 100% fine and that machine goes through here PC to the printer.
    Completed Troubleshooting:
    First discovered she was on Reader 10.1.3 and the other PC was 10.1.1
    Did a complete uninstall of 10.1.3 to include deleting from registry
    Installed 10.1.1 with same issue.
    Verified all a printer and reader settings are the same for both PCs
    Attempted work arounds:
    Installed doPDF virtual printer to try and save the completed form as PDF
    PDF prints text and form text, but not the field borders for each block
    Installed Nitro PDF as default PDF reader, same issue.  Will not print out the field borders.
    Additional Troubleshooting:
    Ran full virus and malware/spyware scans with no issues.
    Specific Form:
    https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4722
    Searched all over the internet with Google and have had no luck finding any suggestions

    When you print it, the box that pops up should say, under the Comments and Forms box, "document and markups".  Hope that helps.

  • Adobe PDF Form: Include text in table

    Hi,
    Im kinda new to Adobe Forms, and this may seem like a very basic question.
    I have copied a standard SAP VAT invoice adobe form and Im making changes to it.
    I have added an "include text" (which has multiple lines) to an already existing table with multiple columns.
    The problem is that while the include text prints correctly when it expands, the entire table does not expand along with it.
    So when the include text goes into many lines, it exceeds the table boundary and overwrites other areas of the form.
    The table layout is like this .
    Column1                Column2 Column3 Column4 Column5 Column6 
    Inc text                    50$        1.00       PAID       DELIV
    Many Lines       -
    Line3
    Line4
    Line5
    Is there any grouping or somehting that i have to do?
    Thanks,
    John

  • Interactive pdf form with text fields. Chinese fonts

    Hi All
    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields to be in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the inputting font to Chinese) I have moved the file over to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to amend the font to Simsun but when we try it out the font is still in English. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem??
    Thank you in advance

  • Interactive PDF Form Field Text properties InDesign CS6

    I am new to InDesign CS6 (upgraded from CS4) and after advice when attempting PDF form creation.
    Is there a way of defining text style of text colour font for the form field,
    (in the same way thay is possible if I was editing the PDF within in the text properties of Acrobat).
    Or do I need to export and change the font and colour properties from Acrobat (which would be a shame).
    thanks
    MattHM

    Short answer…no, you can’t do that in InDesign.

  • Highlight the bookmarked text when clicking bookmark link?

    I have severeal bookmarks on one page of the PDF. Is it possible to have the PDF set up so that it will highlight the bookmarked text when the bookmark link is clicked? Or something that would make it easier to find the bookmarked section of the document. I am using Acrobat 9. Thanks!

    A bookmark (go to page view type action) doesn't really link to text, it links to a page and view setting (zoom, and possibly scroll). So this isn't an option with such a link.

  • Acrobat Form button that when clicked will open a Windows Folder?

    Is there a way to have a button on an Adobe Acrobat Form that when clicked will open a Windows Folder located with a predefined UNC path? I'm looking for a scripting solution.
    UNC example: \\myserver\myshares\engineering\changeorders
    I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v. 8.2.
    Thanks for any help that you can give.

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?

  • PDF form online but when submitted via email, received as XML

    I'm trying to include a pdf form, created in Designer, on my website where guests can fill out the form and then hit the submit button and the form is emailed to me. Currently, I am linking to the form like it is another web page.
    When the form is emailed to me, it is in the XML format. Once the file is opened, it gives me instructions on how to view it. It says to open the original pdf form and somehow place the xml data into it. Isn't there an easier way?
    I would like to receive the "filled out" form as a pdf via email so I can just open it up with reader and print it. Others, that are more technically challenged will be receiving the "filled out" form also. The easier the better. thanks in advance

    A PDF that has been Reader Extended activates latent Adobe Reader functionality such as save filled in forms, annotate, sign, and submit interactive Adobe PDF documents. For more info see

  • Fill in pdf form with text

    recieved a pdf form and need to fill in the lines with text
    using acrobat pro9 mac

    Is it a fill in form (if so, then you should get an i-bar as you move over the fields)? Are you filling it out in Acrobat or the MAC preview? The latter has problems with PDF forms and should not generally be used for this need.
    If there are no form fields (not fillable), then you will either have to add form fields yourself (maybe the MAC version has the recognize fields feature of the PC version -- assuming the form is actually text and not just a picture). The other option is to use the Typewriter tool.

  • PDF Forms - continuous text

    I am trying to set up a PDF form for a client using Acrobat Professional since I don't have LiveCycle (I am on a Mac and don't do a lot of web based projects).
    See attached file for example of what I am trying to do: The fields at the top are all individual and the user can tab through them, but I need to set up a set of text boxes in the comments section on each one of the lines shown (client wants the lines for hand completing purposes instead of computer use), but as you get to the end of one line, I need it to immediately go to the next line/box below without having to tab. I know you can set this up in LiveCyle but I don't have access to this. Is there a way to make this happen in Acrobat Professional?

    Hi Torben
    I found your script very helpful for a similar problem to an original post you replied to. Thank you so much. In my example I've used it because I had an indented first line.
    Have you ever used this script in a way which would allow deleting of type back through the fields? I've been finding that once a mistake is found in the typing, the whole block of text must be started again, as well as there being no possibilities of selecting all of the typed text in those linked fields to copy and paste elsewhere (eg into an email or Word).
    I know this post is a little old, but if you're available to reply if you've done this before or seen it done, I'd be very grateful.
    Thank you
    Lisa
