Printing hidden text in a PDF form

I have created a form to be filled in by a large customer base. Some boxes have the ability to type in more copy than the box will fit creating a scroll bar.
My problem is then how does the user print the text that is hidden I just get the copy that can be seen and nothing else.
Here's hoping for a reply.

Select the whole text.
Copy the text in a text editor.
Print the text.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Jason

If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.

How to print hidden text in answer box

How can you print the hidden text in answer boxes on PDF forms?

I am not sure I understand your question. Are you importing a PDF with Hidden Fields into FormsCentral?
If this is the case FormsCentral ignores hidden fields and doesn't create column in the response table for those.

Is it possible to edit text in a pdf form created using an earlier version of LiveCycle?

I created a form starting with a Microsoft Word document, turned it into a Adobe Acrobat PDF and then turned it into a fillinable form using the LiveCycle Designer that used to be imbedded in the Adobe Acrobat program a couple of years ago. Now that they have upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to the version that doesn't have LiveCycle Designer included (but given me the now separate LiveCycle Designer program), I can't seem to edit or add text to an existing form.
If I create (re-create) the form in the new Adobe Acrobat program, then I can go back and edit either the base document or directly in the form.
But I can't do that on my old forms. Is that true or am I missing something?
Please help.

I don't know if it is the best solution but you could filter the results to just that client's answers on the summary tab and then PDF that.

How to collapse unused text field in PDF form

Hi all, may i know how to collapse unused text field in a PDF form. Etc, we have alot of description line for user to enter the info, but some line will be left unused, so i was wondering whether can i hide those unused text field. But when i need them, i just expand it and use it.

I don't think w/o UI Customization it is possible.
UI customization won't be a small one as it is a common wizard and used at multiple places. So it will be a huge work.

How to print OCR text in Adobe invoice form

      Hi All,
      I have got a requirement to print the customer number and invoice no as OCR text on the invoice adobe form.
      So, if some one has any idea or might have gone through this scenario, please share your suggestions for the same.
      Thanks in advance,
      Nilesh R Gaikwad

Hi Nilesh,
try to check if you can choose OCR-B in Smartform Layout Designer.
If not, then the font might be corrupt and you must turn to Basis team.
If yes, then it is not a truetype font. And you muss upload a truetype font (.ttf, licenced font, might be with cost) into SAP by SE73. Something like this:

Ungrouping auto-grouped text in a PDF form

After I have created a form in FormCentral and import it into Acrobat Pro to further edit (I need it to be one page, so I'm moving fields around and compressing space), some of the text is auto-grouped into larger text boxes. For example, I have a name field above a phone number field, the "Name" and "Phone Number" titles are put into a single text box rather than two separate ones. Is there a way to avoid this so I can move the titles separately or do I need to cut and paste a bunch of times to put them into their own boxes?
Thanks.

You can't change the way Acrobat interprets the text structure of the file.
The bottom line is that PDF files are not really meant to be edited in such
a way, and Acrobat is not a word processor or layout editor, so don't
expect it to deliver too much on that front.

Insert text into a pdf form

How can I edit a pdf file? It is a form and I need to insert some text. Please help.

Unless it's an editable form, you can't... at least, not without buying Adobe Acrobat (not to be confused with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader). If it's an editable form, you can just open it in Acrobat Reader or Preview, click on the fields and start typing.

Copy the caption and value text from a pdf form to a word doc.

I designed a form to be used by nurses for entering data. They then want to copy the info into a text editor of a program (similar to word). When they copy paste it only copies the field and not the values entered. Any fixes?

When the form I designed for some nurses is used, the information has to be copied and then pasted into a text editor program for a patient file. When I do a select all and copy, it only copies the fields, not the information entered by the nurses. Is there a way to allow all of the fields and text entered to be copied and then pasted in the editor program?

Alignment of multi-line text field in PDF form

I am trying to create a simple form with text fields and check boxes. In several of my text fields I would like the user to enter multiple lines of text aligned at the top-left of the textbox. Everything appears proper until I check the "Multi-line" option within the properties menu. The text then jumps down the textbox several lines. In the attached image I have selected multi-line for the "Responsibilities:" and "Objectives:" fields but not the three following. I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to develop the form. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. The entered text then shifts down the textbox (as shown).

Editing text module in pdf forms

i want to edit text in footer window.
how can i edit text in Footer text.

Hi,
Usually footer texts are displayed in Master pages.
If you don't see the tab in the Designer, display it by right-clicking on the Body page tab and start editing your text.
If you need dynamic content in your footer, use the floating field text inside your static text.
Regards,
Francois
