Placing Fields by hand

I'm familiar with creating Adobe Forms to be filled in by the recipient, auto and manual. My issue is when I try and place fields by hand the boxes do not resize properly. I put the cursor in the corner and drag to the size I want for the field but it appears to only go with certain sizes...ergo the box ends up being too big for the space. I'm guessing this is a fix in preferences?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael- Thank you so much for taking your time, offering your help and providing assistance. It is truly appreciated and as I'm sure you know solved the problem. Thank you so much!!

  • Moving and properly placing fields in a FormsCentral form

    I've just started using this software that came with Acrobat XI and began designing a form from scratch.  Moving and placing fields in your desired location seems to be quite challenging unless there is something I do not understand about the process.  The primary annoyance is when using the left side handle to change the width of a field, all other fields above appear to be connected and all change widths together.  Also, moving a field along a horizontal plane always ha sthat field snap back to its original position.  Any help here?

    All th fields in the first column in FormsCentral share the same label width. You might want to try to put the label on top if you don't like this behavior.
    If you insert fields on the right on a form element then you can independently set its label width.
    You can only put a form element next to another one. If you want more horizontal "spacing" between element you can resize it by increasing the previous element width. In the image below you can see what you need to "drag"to increase spacing.
    Hope this helps

  • Placing fields in a position

    hi everyone,
      U had given right answer but the thing is how can i place these dynamically created input fields in the required position just like (x,y)co-ordinates.
    example: top of the screen or bottom of the screen or some other place on the browser. see the below code.
    if(firstTime)
                  IWDTransparentContainer con=(IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("RootUIElementContainer");

    Hi,
    You can't specify the (x,y)co-ordinates while placing the UIElements in webDynpro.
    You can make use of different kinds of layouts like Grid ,Matrix,Row to arrange your UIElements.
    Please go through the help in SDN  on different layouts.

    You are going to have to learn how to use layout managers. There's a pretty good tutorial on the sun.com site, but they have been having some issues for the past couple of days. Anyways, here's the link

  • Focus search field when open Presets and Effects panel

    Hi Adobe-Forum.
    I like to get the cursor automatically placed into the search-field of the preset and effects panel.
    Exists a shortcut or an option for that?
    It’s annoying to use the mouse to get into this field by hand.
    Thank you for your help!
    Cheers
    Brian

    I was mistaken. Every time I go to that panel I click in the search field. I don't recall ever clicking in the panel first then the search field. It was not until I tried it buy clicking outside the search field that I discovered the problem.
    It looks like there is no way to make it automatically focus when selecting the panel with a keyboard shortcut. Might be time for a feature request.
    For most of my effects I add them in the ECP (Effects control Panel and then type the first letter of the category, right arrow, then the first letter of the effect. This works for me because I know where just about all of them are from experience. If I do have to search I simply click directly in the search field.

  • Data merge field as hyperlinks?

    Hello,
    I'm working on a DPS project based on a csv file with some 50 records. Some of the fields contain hyperlinks, totalling to several hundreds.
    Has anybody any idea of how to place a placeholder for a datamerge field in the 'hyperlink' or button-'go to URL' boxes to avoid placing them by hand after merging the document?
    Thanks!

    OK here are my settings along with the template.  It is a label that is setup 6 up on a sheet.
    I did copy everything to a new template/file.

  • Skipping fields during content conversion

    is it possible to skip fields during content conversion in file sender adapter?
    The case is, the CSV file contains 300+ field and i only need 10. Therefore i have created a datatype with those 10 field.
    I was hoping to skip the fields i do not need during content conversion.
    If this is not possible i see no other than to create a datatype with 300+ fields by hand. Which will take all day!
    Hopefully there is a solution, since i could not find what i needed on the SAP Help or SDN.
    Thanks in advance for all your time!

    Hi M,
    is it possible to skip fields during content conversion in file sender adapter?
    No .. this is not possible during FCC.
    The case is, the CSV file contains 300+ field and i only need 10. Therefore i have created a datatype with those 10 field.
    Hopefully there is a solution, since i could not find what i needed on the SAP Help or SDN.
    Well, you can give it a shot. There are freewares available on internet, which can transform the CSV file to XSD. Then you can import that XSD structure in ESR.
    The only point is that your source CSV file must be having the header (with all field names on it).
    I had done this with another integration tool, no idea how it will work with PI. But it's worth giving it a try.
    If this is not gonna happen, then you have no other option but to create complete DT manually or use adapter module (not recommended for such cases).

  • Dynamic fields in PDF form

    Hello Experts,
                           I have a requirement to design all fields in a form dynamically..!
    It means if the user selects speific fields in a custom config, the form should be genarated with only those fields.
    I know it can be done placing fields at design time and then hiding it later.. but I am looking for dynamic fields creation and position and setting its properties dynamically.
    Thanx for Ur time.. !

    hi,
    Did you try creating a composite form ?? The sap.help link to creating Dynamic forms is give below

  • Oracle BI Publisher desktop - insert field does not make absolute path

    Hello everyone,
    I am using the Oracle BI Publisher desktop 11.1.1.5
    Lets have the given demodata
    <demodata>
         <person>
         <name>Peter</name>
         </person>
         <relative>
         <name>Mike</name>
         </relative>
    </demodata>
    As you can see the tag <name> is used as subchild in person, relative.
    next i start winword 2007 using the bip-extension. There is a button 'insered field' that opens a window with the demodata tree.
    When i pick person->relation->name there will be the expression <?name?> insered.
    Thats my problem, i need the absolute path to be insered, in this case <?/demodata/relation/name?>
    If the adressing is not absolute starting from the root the rendered Report will show 'Peter' as it is the first occurence of the <name> tag.
    I have not find out where to configure the word-plugin to make absolute paths in fields.
    Any ideas ?

    Thank you for your answer
    sure, it is possible to edit the fields by hand but my xml-structure is autogenerated (MDA-approach), nested and quiet complex. Manual tasks can lead to typing errors and sometimes i forget to edit one field afterwards.
    It would be just very handy when the tool does the work for me, it has all the information anyway.
    I wonder why am the first person that is having this request. In my opinion adressing starting from the root is clear and without ambiguity. In every field i can exactly read using the expression which element in the tree is used.
    In conclusion, it would be nice if the plugin let the user decide whether to use the short or the long syntax

  • User defined fields for KS01

    Hi,
    I have to create a new field for cost centre KS01 transaction. In the documentation of exit EXIT_SAPLKMA1_001 it is mentioned that we have to create the new field in CSKS_CI structure. After this, the new field has to be added in the screen.
    This exit is used by program SAPLKMA1 in 2 screens 0399 and 3999. But, these screens are not used anywhere (I checked from the where-used list). In these 2 screens, there is a call customer-subscreen line. If i want to create this subscreen it asks for access key.
    Is there any way that i can create a subscreen and attach it to the standard transaction. Please suggest if there is any other ways to do the same.
    Regards,
    Nikhil

    See the documentation once properly,user-exits are provided for adding additional functionality with out using any Access Keys...
    If the additional fields are to be visible on the screen, the include ZXKM1U01 must at least include a field transport from the structure transferred in the interface, to the structure used on the screen.
    If you have placed fields of structure CSKS_CI on the screen, you should add the following line to include ZXKM1U01:
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING USER_CSKS_CI TO CSKS_CI.
    Further examples of coding can be found in include LXKM1F01

  • Form Field Format

    I regularly convert existing documents to fillable forms that contain all number fields for insertion of dollar amounts.  It is very tedious to change the formatting of each field to a numeric format and would like to know if there is a way (and how) to change the formatting of all the fields at once.

    Are you using Acrobet or are you using the form designer that came with Acrobat?
    If you are using Acrobat and creating the fields by hand, when you create the first field, Right click and choose "Use current properties as new default".
    If you are using the form designer to automatically create fields, I'm not sure. Probably if you selected all fields at once then set the properties...

  • Applescript and the "reply to" field of outgoing message

    I have a useless script that works.
    tell application "Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message ¬
    with properties {content:"My name <[email protected]>"}
    set visible of newMessage to true
    end tell
    I also note from the Mail dictionary that an outgoing message has the following properties: content, sender, subject, content, visible, message signature (signature), id .
    I'm puzzled: why aren't there more properties? In particular, I would like to set the Reply To: and Account: fields with something like the following script.
    tell application "Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message ¬
    with properties {sender:"[email protected]", reply to:"[email protected]"}
    set visible of newMessage to true
    end tell
    I've discovered (with that second script) that the sender property corresponds to the Account: field. But can I get the Reply To: field visible and filled with AppleScript? Or with something else? Automator?
    PowerBook G4, Cube   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Also running 10.2.8 on a Cube, hopefully 10.3.9 soon

    Applescript only has access to the objects and properties in the various dictionaries; for mail, as you have discovered, this does not give access to much for an outgoing message. In particular, you cannot access headers such as date or priority or reply-to. If, as in your script, you are making the outgoing message visible before sending it, then you can fill in the reply-to field by hand, but short of trying some gui scripting you can't change it via applescript.
    I suggest you use OS X Feedback to complain.

    SAP Reply----
    Hello kumar,
    After another analysis I have to inform you about general concept of
    "compounded characteristics".
    A compounded characteristic bounds two characteristics. The technical
    name is generated by both technical names of the two characteristics
    combined by two underlines "__".
    An individual text is only available for one single combination of both
    characteristics.
    Example:
    =======
    Compounded characteristic "Famous family name" is a combination of
    characteristic "COUNTRY" & "ETHNIC". Technical name: COUNTRY__ETHNIC
    Values for Country: USA, Australia
    Values for Ethnic: Asian, Latino
    Possible value combinations with individual text:
    USA & Asian; text: "Ling"
    USA & Latino; text: "Sanchez"
    Australia & Asian; text: "Chu"
    Australia & Latino; text: "Garcia"
    (Keep in mind the individual text only valid for the specific
    combination.)
    In analogy to the issue that you reported, you want to restrict this
    compounded characteristic. In the window where you select the restrictedvalue (called Selector) you'll see on the left hand side all available
    combinations of the characters with an individual text.
    You select family name "Chu" and drag'n'drop it to the right side.
    Actually you can only restrict the right compounded characteristic. In
    our example you would restrict on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value
    "Asian". (When you switch on technical names this comes more clear). Thetext "Chu" is displayed in the context of Selector because you selected
    value combination Australia & Asian. But in the end it's just a
    placeholder(!) for any combination of characteristic "ETHNIC" and value
    #Asian#; in our example it could be USA & Asian "Ling" or Australia &
    Asian "Chu").
    By leaving the Selector the individual text is gone because now the
    context is lost between the two characteristics. You have just a
    restriction on characteristic "ETHNIC" with value "Asian". An individualtext can't be displayed because the compounded characteristic is not
    specified for this restriction.
    You're right, it is confusing when "loosing" the text of a restriction.
    But accoring to the concepts of the compounded characteristics it
    is a correct behavior.

    Hi anandkumar,
    I belive this issue can be resolved by changing the  Query proprties for the perticular field.
    Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
    __Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.
    FURTHER CHECK UP: check the master data avaiulability for the perticular info object, if masterdata is not available, do the text data for txt data availability in report level.
    Hope this helps you!!
