Permanent Font Color Within a pre-made form.

I have made a form in Pages and also imported a form from Windows. There are many different lines and I want to find a way to type in a different color (Blue) when I change lines without having to format it each and every time. Any ideas?

Hi scomer6
Welcome to the forum.
You could make some dummy text:
*Black text* (return)
Blue Text (return)
Format them both once the way you want them.
Select the text but not the return of each:
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text+
I recommend that you create a style for both sets of text so you can universally change them as necessary later.
Now copy both sets of text placeholders including both returns and paste as many times as you want down the page to make alternate colored text.
Now when you click on them each line of text (but not the return) will be selected and you just type or +Paste and Match Style+ the text for that line.

How to Include More Than One Font and Font Color Within a Fluid Grid Div Tag?

Using CSS code, I can make all the words within a fluid grid div tag the same font, font size, and font color, but how do I make a few of the words different?

You can style the basic text and heading selectors with CSS:
p { }
h1 { }
h2 { }
h3 { }
h4 { }
etc...
And you can make classes:
.red {color:red}
.highlight {background-color:yellow}
Then apply classes to your text or sections of it using the HTML properties panel.
<div>
 This is a default paragraph style.
 This is red.
 This is highlighted.
 Default style with red, highlighted text and normal text.
</div>
Incidentally, this will work in any layout.

Changing font colors within an output string

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can even be done, if so I have no clue of what to research to try it. Maybe someone knows or could shed some light on this.
I have numerious pages that are using the following code to set page titles:
<cfset pagetitle = "ACCOUNT SIGN-IN">
Then there is one template page that will display these page titles within a header on the page accordingly. It uses the following code:
<cfoutput><div style="padding-top:20px;padding-left:8px;">#ucase(pagetitle)#</div></cfoutput>
My problem is this, I need to figure out a way to make everything in the page title after the first word a different color. So in this example above "ACCOUNT" would stay the default color then " SIGN-IN" needs to be blue.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

> a way to make everything in the page title after the first word a different color.

<cfset titleFirstWord = listGetAt(pagetitle,1," ")>
<cfset restPageTitle = listRest(pagetitle, " ")>
<cfoutput><div style="padding-top:20px;padding-left:8px;">#ucase(titleFirstWord)# #ucase(restPageTitle)#</div></cfoutput>

Forms in PowerShell: putting write-progress onto a pre-made form

Hello all,
What I'm wanting to do is use the "Write-Progress" cmdlet and put it onto a form that I've made, instead of having a separate dialogue box for it. Is this possible? Here is the (very simple) form:
[void][system.reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$objForm.Text = "Test"
$objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(700,300)
$objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$Form = $objForm.ShowDialog()

What exactly are you trying to do? Write-Progress creates it's own form in the ISE, or just displays text based progress in the console, it doesn't have output that you can manipulate that I'm aware of.
If you want to create your own form for displaying progress, you most likely need to use this method:
http://learn-powershell.net/2012/10/14/powershell-and-wpf-writing-data-to-a-ui-from-a-different-runspace/
Because launching a form from Powershell otherwise runs in a single thread and as long as you're interacting with the form, the script won't be doing anything but waiting for input from the form.
I hope this post has helped!

When I load a XML in a XFA form can I specify the font color?

Pre-Made Effects and Color Change

When I add a pre-made effect to type. How do I change the effects color? The effect Im trying to use is the underwater one. It always stays this ugly blue tint, and I need the effect to be green. Ive tried changing it in the attributes window, but it only effects the text minus the underwater effect.

Actually David, I did mean the Style tab.
You see, either way, you have to select each keyframe and then make the color change to make this fix. But instead of going to the Effects tab and having to select the ShadColor parameter each time you select a different keyframe (and then selecting a new color and confirming), you can just leave the Shadow tab open on the Style menu, select the color swatch there and pick the color you want for each key. Doing it in the Style tab saves you a few clicks each time.
About the only time I use the Effects panel is when entering parameters that don't have an interface component (such as Accelerate) or to get a quick view of what parameters are being animated.

Dynamic form font color changes after saving

I have a dynamic form that before the user clicks inside a textfield ghost text appearance is set to red once the user starts typing I have an event set to turn the font to black.
The problem is, once form is saved and reopened the font color is red instead of black. How can I get the font color to remain black?
I am thinking that script should be in the PreSave event if so, please provide an example of how it should be written.
Thanks

I have several events happening in the text field
for the ghost text (tool tip) I have set an initialize event: (by the way I did choose the color red for the font in the color picker for the tooltip color)
this.execEvent("exit");
this.format.picture.value = "null{' " + this.assist.toolTip.value + " '}";
Enter event: (this changes the font to black and bullets appear)this.fontColor + "0,0,0";
this.font.posture = "normal";
if(this.rawValue === null)
    this.rawValue = "l ";
Exit event
if (this.isNull)
   this.fontColor = "255,0,0,";
   this.fontposture = "italic";

Adobe Reader 9 Editible Form Field Font Color

I seem to be having a problem (or what I believe to be a problem) with Adobe Reader 9 when filling out PDF editible forms. On screen I enter data into the editible field and the font color is black but when I print the form, the editible field data prints in green. I don't remember this being the case with prior versions of Reader so I'm wondering if this is new and is there a way to return the text printed text color to the correct font color? Any help would be appreciated.

George,
Thanks for the reply. Although I have a third party PDF Editing tool I have tried this with other PDF editable forms and they all seem to be exhibiting the same behavior. For example I went out on the internet tonight and found a UCSB Order Form on http://www.grafikart.com/order/ucsb.htm. When I open this form and type in text the displayed text is always black but when I print the form the entered text is always dark green. Note that I contacted my third party PDF editor tool about the problem they suggested that I run the unedited form thru their software and set all existing fields to be editable and then re-save the form after insuring that the text color for the editable fields was black. I did all that and again, the color of displayed text is still dark green. Note that when I'm talking about the text being green I want you to understand that the form itself prints in black text however any text that I enter into the form always prints dark green.

Is there a way to personalize my font in my icloud email i.e. make permanent change/default settings to font, color. I don't want to make these changes on each individual email?

Change footer font color with embedded form?

How do I change the font color on the footer of a form in FormsCentral?
When I developed the form I was using a design that looked great in a standalone format, but we're considering embedding the form. When I went to embed the form, the links at the bottom became useless because the font in the footer is white (see attached screen shots).

Hi,
In order to see the background color of the form, you will have to enable it.
Open the form in FormsCentral, go to Distribute tab / Embed sub tab and check : "Include page background color" check box.
>>How do I change the font color on the footer of a form in FormsCentral?
You will need to change the text color of your form header. Open the form in FormsCentral, select Design Tab, select the form header, select the text and change the text color to other-than-white via the Toolbar.
Hope this works for you,
Thanks,
Lucia

Creating Hyperlinks In Pre-Made Drop Down List Form

Ok, I am new to the whole Acrobat world but there is a pre-made object called "drop down list". When I drag it onto my page I am able to enter the title as well as the items I wish to have appear in the drop down. However, I am unable to simply go to "insert" and select "hyperlink". That option is greyed out. Can someone tell me if there is a simple way to create the hyperlink without writing script and also why I can not simply select the hyperlink option? Any feedback or direction would be much appreciated. Likewise, if there are other programs that would easily allow me to do this I would welcome your comments.
Thanks!

You can't insert hyperlinks into a drop down in Acrobat.
Well, you can, but they will remain as plain text.

Change font color in reports depending on condition

I have an application that generates a number of new records at
the click of a button, which the user can then modify through
several report-form links. My users have requested that the data
appear in one color in the reports if they have not yet updated
the records, and that they change color, permanently, when
updated. I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I do well with
PLSQL, but I think this is probably a Javascript issue(?) - or
is it possible to specify font color of a report when you call a
URL?
Any ideas anyone?

Thank you, both Michaels. I was excited. I was sure this would
work, so I added the updated_by fields to all my reports (they
should be useful anyway). I worked on a couple of other issues
related to this, and returnred this morning to add the HTML font
tags to my report queries. I CAN'T MAKE IT WORK! I've attached
my code, and error message. Any thoughts on what I'm doing
wrong? Thanks.
(Note: The query works fine without the HTML tags.)
My code:
select ''||activity.act_text||'' act_text,
from Activity, survey, temp
where activity.survey_id = survey.survey_id and
survey.survey_id = temp.survey
Error message:
Unable to describe SQL statement. Please correct it (WWV-13010)

How to change font/ font color etc in a graphic object using JCombobox?

Hello
My program im writing recently is a small tiny application which can change fonts, font sizes, font colors and background color of the graphics object containing some strings. Im planning to use Jcomboboxes for all those 4 ideas in implementing those functions. Somehow it doesnt work! Any help would be grateful.
So currently what ive done so far is that: Im using two classes to implement the whole program. One class is the main class which contains the GUI with its components (Jcomboboxes etc..) and the other class is a class extending JPanel which does all the drawing. Therefore it contains a graphics object in that class which draws the string. However what i want it to do is using jcombobox which should contain alit of all fonts available/ font sizes/ colors etc. When i scroll through the lists and click the one item i want - the graphics object properties (font sizes/ color etc) should change as a result.
What ive gt so far is implemented the jcomboboxes in place. Problem is i cant get the font to change once selecting an item form it.
Another problem is that to set the color of font - i need to use it with a graphics object in the paintcomponent method. In this case i dnt want to create several diff paint.. method with different property settings (font/ size/ color)
Below is my code; perhaps you'll understand more looking at code.
public class main...
Color[] Colors = {Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.GREEN};
        ColorList = new JComboBox(Colors);
ColorList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
                 JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)ev.getSource();
                Color colorType = (Color)cb.getSelectedItem();
                drawingBoard.setBackground(colorType);
          });;1) providing the GUI is correctly implemented with components
2) Combobox stores the colors in an array
3) ActionListener should do following job: (but cant get it right - that is where my problem is)
- once selected the item (color/ font size etc... as i would have similar methods for each) i want, it should pass the item into the drawingboard class (JPanel) and then this class should do the job.
public class DrawingBoard extends JPanel {
       private String message;
       public DrawingBoard() {
              setBackground(Color.white);
              Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, fontSize);
              setFont(font);
              message = "";
       public void setMessage(String m) {
            message = m;
            repaint();
       public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
              super.paintComponent(g);
              //setBackground(Color.RED);
              Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
              g2.setRenderingHint
              g2.drawString(message, 50, 50);
       public void settingFont(String font) {
            //not sure how to implement this?                          //Jcombobox should pass an item to this
                               //it should match against all known fonts in system then set that font to the graphics
      private void settingFontSize(Graphics g, int f) {
                     //same probelm with above..
      public void setBackgroundColor(Color c) {
           setBackground(c);
           repaint(); // still not sure if this done corretly.
      public void setFontColor(Color c) {
                //not sure how to do this part aswell.
               //i know a method " g.setColor(c)" exist but i need to use a graphics object - and to do that i need to pass it in (then it will cause some confusion in the main class (previous code)
       My problems have been highlighted in the comments of code above.
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!!!
