The rotation for the field is based on the orientation of the field with respect tot the rotated page. You can use the form field's properties to rotate the contents of any field counterclockwise by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. I would first try 90 degrees.

How can you create a text field without a label?

I am creating a form and need to create identical text boxes one below another and for space reasons do not want a label on each one. How do I do this without selecting multiple fields?

Sorry you can't remove the label of a field. When the Label is on the Left (either left aligned or right aligned) then you can resize the label (using drag and drop) but there is still a min width that the label must have. You can also change the Label to be Above but that might not work with your spacing either.

Creating an expandable text field without a scrollbar

Hi All! Hope someone can help.
I need to create a flowable subform that will allow text fields to expand without a scrollbar. I have been researching the forums and have found this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2372965
When modifying the template above for practice, The fields expand correctly but when i make one from scratch it doesnt work at all!
Here are the steps I have followed in creating a expandable text field from scratch:
1. Open Adobe Lifecycle Designer and open a plain blank form
2. Take a "text field" from the object library and place it on the form
3. I noticed there is already a blue border (subform) for this document by default for the new form so I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom" and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
4. I then right clicked on the text fields orange border and clicked "wrap in subform". I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom" and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
5. Finally for the text field itself I made sure that "allow multiple linkes" and "allow page breaks within content" was checked. Also changed the layout for y: expand to fit
I still cant get it work am I missing something? Ive been twirking around with this for hours and this forum wont let me upload my example. Any help would be great!

Hi,
You need to save the form as dynamic pdf form i.e xdp and on exit of the text field only text field will be expanded.
But make sure the main form should be flowed and page breaks should be allowed.Textfield should have the allow multiple lines option ,allow page breaks,and auto expand height(Y axis) should be checked.

How can I stop URL from loading when I paste it into a page without selecting a text field first?

I'm using a chat where I often copy links; if I forget to click the text field when copying an URL, it opens, forcing me to go back manually, which is really annoying. Can I disable URL autoopening somehow?

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Print just what is typed in the text field without printing the text fields

Hello,
I'm trying to print a form after I filled in the text fields, but would like it to print just what I typed in the field, not the text field and the color in the text field. I use CS3.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Teddy and wellcome to the group!
If you want to change fonts or other things then you might need to use the PrePrint method. What I normally do is select PrePrint from the "Show" section in the Script Editor (If you do not have it go to the toolbar at the top, Windows, and select Script Editor). After you select PrePrint you can now either type the name of the subform and field you want to change (or you can put your cursor in the Scripting Dialog box, hold CTRL and then select the field with your mouse) and then type in the JS to change the font. it is something like TextField1.fillcolor = "255, 255, 255"; (that changes the background fill to white). You can also replace fillcolor with font or border to change the color of the font or the border. I put a link to an Adobe website that goes over JS color changes below. You just need to add a PrePrint method for each field that you wish to remove the necessary highlighting on. Then once the user either hits a Print button that you have on the form or uses CTRL+P to print the form it will remove any highlighting.
Now On the Text Field not printing itself that I am not sure what you are asking for. Are you asking for the caption not to print or for there not to be a box around the data that is entered? If you do not want to have a box surround the text field that is in the Object section of the field (see image below). You just need to select None if you just want the text. If you want to change that with JS I put another link below that has the code to change the border color to white and the user cannot see it. If you do not want the caption to print the only method is to delete the caption from the text field and replace it with static text that can be hidden, but I am assuming that is not what you are talking about (correct me if I am wrong though).

Why can't I type in text fields without first hitting the Tab Key?

I have Version 32.0.1700.77 running on a Mac. This problem started with Firefox a little while back and no amount of updates or uninstalling/reinstalling has fixed it. And therefore I have switched to Chrome.
When using Firefox, any text field, including the address bar, will not allow me to type into it. I will get a BONK sound. Once I hit the Tab Key, I can begin typing. But if I stop typing and click any other area, then come back to the text field, I must again hit the Tab Key. Or if I want to edit the text field, I can highlight a word, but for it to delete, I have to hit the tab Key then hit Delete.
Why is it doing this?

hello, please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

Apply typed text to a dynamic text field without selecting it

I'm trying to make a Dos like flash application, although I'm
finding the problem where the cursor in DOS is different the the
vertical one in regular text fields like on internet browsers. My
attempt was to have an invisible movie clip that said...
onClipEvent (enterframe) {
if (Key.isDown(97)) {
_root.dos = _root.dos + "a"; }
if (Key.isDown(98)) {
_root.dos = _root.dos + "b"; } //...
and etc. But this isn't working, I always get capitcal
characters. Is there a more appropriate way to confront this
problem? If anyone knows how, please help me :)

What I'm trying to make is a game called Hacker. You are
given an environment much like DOS's, where I'll try to make
everything as similar as possible. Your job is to "hack" companies'
computers, steal valuable information, and make money off of it.
The more money you make the better tools you can afford such as a
pass hacker etc. It's mostly idea atm but I'm working on the basics
of everything including the problem I've explained in this
thread.

Leading zeros in dynamic text fields

I have a dynamic text field that indicates the degree of
rotation of a knob. I need the display to have three digits showing
at all times. This means I need leading zeros from 0 to 99. ie,
000, 001, 002, etc.
Is there a way to do this numerically or do I have to change
the numbers to strings and concatenate??
Thanks,

Yes, for the most part only strings can start with leading
zeros.
You might run into some troubles because Flash treats a
leading zero as a sign that a number is octal, base-8.
So if you were planning on using Number() to cast your values
into numbers, don't! Instead use parseInt(someString,10).

Rotate Format Field 180. Height Grays out and changes from 2 to 1????

Is there a reason why when I create a Format Field with a height of 2, and then when I rotate the field 180, then the height changes to 1 and can not be changed. (Grayed out).
Is there anyway to make the height back to 2? Strange why this would happen.
I'm using v5.5.1.280.
Thanks

Well, I was about to send the email but before doing so I decided to see what the software says about rotating. Here a quote from the help system:
>Output Designer does not support the rotation of multiple-line fields. If the rotate property for a multiple-line field is changed to something other then 0 (the default), Output Designer will automatically convert the multiple-line field to a single-line field. At the same time, Output Designer will gray out the height property for the field.
There doesn't seem to be a text rotation property but the help system states:
>Rotated text labels are restricted to a single line, using a single font. Output Designer converts a multi-line text label to a single line when rotated.
My guess is that the programming team was able to rotate the field but ran into a problem keeping the height so they documented the restriction.
It looks like to get multiple lines there will just have to be multiple fields and some way to split up the data into those fields.

InDesign Text Field Options

Hi,
I want to create a variety of text fields in InDesign for an interactive PDF with options such as font, font size, date, numbers only, alignment, etc, options that are all available in Acrobat.
The idea is to create all the text fields in InDesign without the help of Acrobat as we have a lot of forms and we always have a lot of changes in the forms.
Currently, when we have changes in the forms, we have to do them in InDesign, export, and then do all the form fields in Acrobat again, which is a terrible worklflow.
Is there any possibility to do these text field options in InDesign?
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Kim

@Steve – I found no time for testing this, but maybe a script by Marijan Tompa (TOMAXXI) could be of great help.

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

How to get data from list of values (LOV) to be displayed in a text field ?

Hi guys,
I am very new to Oracle APEX so please spare me if it is a silly question. How can I get the selected values from a set of list of values (LOV) displayed in a text field (or text area or so) ? Fox example, in my form I create 4 items: STATE, COUNTY, STREET, ZIPCODE and all of them are LOV (list of values). I also create 2 buttons (ADD & REMOVE). Then I create a test field (or text area name SELECTED RECORD). Now here is what I want to do with my form:
When I set the values for all 4 fields, I will click on the ADD button then I want those values be displayed in the text field.
For example, if the selected values are:
STATE = Alabama
COUNTY = Abbeville
STREET= 1 Street
ZIPCODE = 36310
And the ADD button is pressed. Then in the text field I want it displays like this:
Alabama,Abbeville,1 Street,36310
If I choose other values and click ADD again, a new line will be added into the text fields (text area). If I click the REMOVE button, then it will clear those two line in the text field.
Would it be possible to do it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you can live with the page being submitted and refreshed, make your ADD button do a submit with a request value of ADD and make your REMOVE button do a submit with a request value of REMOVE.
Then create two computations (one firing with a condition of Request = ADD and the other firing with a condition of Request = REMOVE).
In the ADD one, concatenate the values together into the text area (most likely a PL/SQL computation wiill be what you want). In the REMOVE one, set it to null with a PL/SQL computation.
If you want it done without submitting the page, make the buttons each do a redirect to a URL but instead you will have to write two short javascript functions in the page HTML header to manipulate the field values. Each button would call each javascript function in an onclick event.

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty
