Regarding Text Box in a Form

I know that TextBox and Form are subclasses of the Screen class.
Is there a way to append a TextBox to a Form??

Hi,
You can't append TextBoxes to a Form.
You can just append to a Form classes that are subclasses of Item class.

Cascading Text Boxes in Tabular Form

Hello Gurus,
I have a Cascading Select List in a Tabular Form made with APEX_ITEM.
My Tabular Form is like this: Col1[select list], Col2[select list], Col3, col4 .
Now :- I would like Col2 to be made as a TEXT BOX as opposed to SELECT LIST. But this TEXT BOX should still be populated "On Change" of Col1 and the TEXTBOX should be editable.
I saw another function called: TEXT_FROM_LOV_QUERY but I can not set the item_id [to use in HTML HEAD Java Script Function & Application Process] as the signature of the function does not support.
APEX_ITEM.TEXT_FROM_LOV_QUERY (
    p_value       IN    VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
    p_query       IN    VARCHAR2,
    p_null_text   IN    VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '%')
    RETURN VARCHAR2;Please point me to any relevant examples.
Appreciate any help in this regard. Please let me know if I could not explain my problem well.

Livecycle Designer 7.0 - How do I link a text box in a form to a radio button or checkbox?

Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 to create a form. I have a scenario where I have several options on a question where they choose one radio button. The last option of the radio button has a text box accompanying it and I only want it to be able to be filled out/typed into if that particular radio button is chosen. Not to be able to be typed into if that particular radio button is not chosen as an answer to that question.
How do I do that?
Also how to I do the same for a text box to be entered into and typed into only if the accompanying checkbox is checked?
Help?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_des igner_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

HELP! need help moving "main" text box in landscape form

Hello. I am working with a table that is now in landscape. I imported it from another FrameMaker 7.2 file which was in portrait form. The table is ongoing (spills into the next page) and I need to be able to move the "main" text box that the table imported into. I am unable/unsure how to go about doing this?! I have to adjust this box because I still have headers/footers/colored border to add later on. Is it also possible to change the size of that "main" text box that automatically appears when you would first open up a blank document??
-kt

Hi kt,
it's quite easy, if I understand what you want to do...
Go to the Master Pages in the target document and either create a new masterpage - (called land2port) or alter the existing master page that is being used... You can change the size and position of the TextFlow frame... Then the save the document as a template - import your landscape table and apply the appropriate master page - voilla!
now you will have room for your headers and footers...
enjoy!

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

Text box in adobe form

Hello All,
when i am dragging a field from data to layout.
i am getting the caption and input field.
for eg: if drag and drop name field to layout....then it is displaying as 'NAME ..............'
(actaully it is showing a box, but i cant show here , so i typed dots).
but i dont want 'NAME' should appear on layout, i want only the content (for eg if NAME = 'AMAR').
i want only AMAR to be displayed not NAME AMAR.
can any one help me how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Amarender Reddy B.

Hello Amar,
When you drag data fields to your layout , you will get caption. It is the standard functionality for PDF forms.
You can double click on the caption which comes on layout. select the caption text and delete it. Drag the centre divider.
alternatively
Go to Pallets> Object>field-->captions
Just remove the text from the caption box and your job is done.
You can set the appearence as none for better view of the field.
Hope it helps you.
Regards ,
Vikash Gupta

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

How can I specify what type of text people can enter in a text box, on a fillable form?

I have an end user that wants to make it so that others who type text in a fillable form can only enter a specific email domain (example: [email protected]). This would be for only one text box in the form. Is this even at all possible, and if so, any guidance on how to make this happen? Thanks!
Jason

I suppose we could do it that way, but I wouldn't know how to advise the user to do this. (I am not an Acrobat user, I just handle installations and basic support). Could you walk me through it?

Autopopulate PDF Form Text boxes

I would appreciated any help on this matter as my IT department is unfortunately of little use.
I am trying to gather information from text boxes in a webpage dialogue inside of a EMR (electronic medical record) system to prefill out certain textboxes in fillable form I created. I do not now how to reveal the source code from the page in order to get help creating the code/script. I am a complete novice at javascript but have used the forum to create various arrays to autopopulate forms. Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to accomplish.
I would like to take the patient account number and name from the "1. Choose a patient"" boxes and prefill in the form with the patient name and account # text boxes in the form. We have to fill out a million forms a day and it would BE SO GREAT if we didn't have to type in the info that is literally 2 inches above it!
I do not know if this is even possible or I have to have some special privileges via the EMR company, but when I mentioned it to my IT department I got the deer in headlights look.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Vanessa

Same here. The boxes are shifted, to varying degrees, further down than in Acrobat Reader. This is a shame because I love Preview.
Anyone?

Text box tool spacing in acrobat 9

Hello,
We recently upgraded to Acrobat 9. I have a document that was created in adobe 8 which has several text boxes. Now in acrobat 9 when i make a change in the text box(add/remove text) and click outside the text box all spacing goes away. Everything becomes single spaced. I have tried using ctrl+enter and shift+enter to see if spacing is retained but i get the same result.
The funny thing is that i tried to create a text box from the forms menu instead of Tools>comment and markups>textbox tool and i was able to retain spacing on the same document. So it seems to be working as a form but not as a comment or markup. Is there a setting i am missing? Or is this something that was changed when going to adobe 9?
Thanks,
Andy

That is due to a bug in Acrobat 9 where multiple carriage returns get replaced by a single one. It's still present as of 9.4.0, but I'm not sure about more recent updates.

Limiting Text Box to Alpha Only A-Z using Acrobat 9 Standard

I'm trying to set a text box in my form to only accept alpha A-Z only. Can anyone tell me how to go about doing this. I'm working with Acrobat 9 Standard using a PDF file. Thanks!

OK, it's a little more complicated with Standard than it shold be, but begin by adding the following JavaScript to the first page's Page Open event (Pages panel > right-click on first page > Page Properties > Actions > Page Open > Run a JavaScript > Add) :
// Allow just upperse letter from A to Z
function alphaOnly_ks() {
    // Get all of the characters that have been entered in to the field
    var value = AFMergeChange(event);
    // Do nothing if field is blank
    if(!value) return;
    // Reject the entry if the entry doesn't match the regular expression
    if(!AFExactMatch(/^[A-Z]+$/, value)) event.rc = false;
Just copy and paste that entire block of code.
Now in the text field you need to call this function in the Keystroke event (right-click field with Select Object tool active > Properties > Format tab > Custom format category > Custom Keystroke Script > Edit) like this:
// Limit this field to uppercase letters from A-Z
alphaOnly_ks();
If you only have one page in the document, close the document and reopen it. If there are more than one page, go to a different page and return. This has the effect of loading the script so it is available from the field. If you were using Pro, you could place the function in a document-level JavaScript and avoid this nonsense.
The field should now only allow entry of uppercase letters from A-Z. It possible to alter the script so that any lowercase letters are automatically converted to uppercase.

Changing a PDF with a text box, and then flatten the text box onto the underlying PDF before sending the document out.

I download PDF documents from municipalities, often and from numerous municipalities.
They have a scanned image of a form that I need to fill out,
I enter my contact info as a text box onto the form, along with other information,
but when I save the document, there seems no way to flatten the fields so that the person I send the document to has a true PDF and cannot change the document.
They could delete one of the text boxes or change the text in the box (by mistake),
which could case some major complications.
How do I flatten the document, so I can send it back to the municipalities as a PDF that cannot be changed.
I am using Acrobat X Pro, on windows XP machine

I doubt you could fix this. Generally a "garbled" file is considered unusable for copying, and that's that. If a PDF uses random mappings instead of standard ones it looks fine on screen, but text extraction is impossible.
Short of converting every page to bitmap and OCRing again.

Text Box Tool in Acrobat X?

In previous versions of Acrobat, I created standard text boxes in my forms. I was able to open an existing file, click on the Text Box icon, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and then Ctrl+V into a new document. I can't figure out how to do that in Acrobat X. Can anyone point me int he right direction? Thanks!

I agree with the majority of users that are expressing frustration with the functionality of Acrobat X. It is really hit and miss. The fact that a user has to copy a text box over and over again without being able to use the standard text box or typewriter functions is in a word 'primitive' and Adobe should be ashamed. But when you are the only game in town, you don't have to listen to customers.
What I tried just now was to add text using the Add Text tool ( you know the one that lets you add text easily, but you are left with red text surround by a box as the default ).
I then highlighted the red text in that box.
With the text highlighted, go up to the top tool bar just below the File Edit View Window Help - Bar.
Right click on that tool box and select Properties Bar to launch the Text Box Text Properties.
Now I can use that Text Properties box for any Text that I added.
I have no idea yet how to add that Text Box Text Properties button to the tool bar yet.
I worked for Xerox for 19 years and the original postscript was a brainchild from someone out of PARC and that whole Acrobat insanity is a continuation of great thinking, that most of the time, "just missed the target." The difference is; Acrobat has a monopoly on it - kind of like AutoCAD. And Adobe, unlike Xerox, doesn't care about Customer Satisfaction.

Text box margins auto-aligning

When I create a new text box in a form the margin of the label is being forced to align with the label above. Some of my labels are longer and some shorter, so I would like to be able to change these independently of one another. When I put multiple text boxes with labels on the same line/row I am able to change the margins of the 2nd and 3rd label, but still not the 1st. What am I doing wrong?

Hi;
You are not doing anything wrong, this is how it works. All of the fields that are both A) at the beginning of a row and B) have labels aligned Left or Right share the same "caption reserve" (term we use for this common label width). This is how it was designed and how it remains for now, we do know it is not ideal and is a little confusing, I am going to write up an FAQ on it, and it is on our list of potential feature enhancements.
Thanks,
Josh
