Scrolling pdf text box
Old Toad posted some code for the above...
but I cannot get the link to print it to work...
Also I can link to an Iworks pdf - but all the iwork stuff is with it... what address do I use for a file on my mac.com site? any URL I've tried does not work
YAY.... that fixed it...
thankyou....
We have a problem with ski instructors stealing our articles and handing out to students... we do not mind them using them but want the recognition as the articles take time to write.... the only solution I could see was PDF but I wanted the content on the site not going elsewhere....
Your boxes work perfectly and they can print or download but not remove references to us our our site I believe
Thankyou very much

How to expand a PDF text box?
I have created a PDF exporting the document from word and made it into a form to fill out. When I have created a text box I would like it to expand when there is more words than there is space rather than the text box going into scrolling mode and not showing all the text when printed.
Does any one else have this problem.
Thanks
AvelineWe have tried to manually resize it however it is reliant on the author and how much they would like to put into the document. I will try and set the text to auto and see if that works!
Thank you for your help! -
Scroll moves text boxes & screen shots?
I upload Page Layout handouts for classes to iCloud-iWork that contain text boxes and screen shots. When they are accessed on a device, if a person scrolls to see several pages, their finger movememt change/selects the text boxes and screen shots damaging the layout. I tried locking the Page before uploading and they won't open on the device. I tried uploading as a PDF and iCloud-iWork doesn't support that format. Any ideas?
SJ AllanI'm not at my Mac at this moment in time, so I can't test it out for you. What I would do though, is select a single item to see if the option is enabled, then go through my objects perhaps selecting a couple at a time, to see which object is causing the option to become unavailable. Once you know which object this is, you can then begin to think what to do about it.
It may well be that some of the objects that you have selected are already in the master section. Objects in the master section have blue handles instead of white ones when they are selected. -

Is it possible to implement in PDF with javascript ?????
Regards,
AliHi Ali,
There is a book "Creating dynamic forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer" by J.P. Terry and there are some books on Acrobat that have a chapter on Designer forms but there is not a lot out there and J.P. Terry's book is a good few versions behind.
I have learnt most from John Brinkmans blog, http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/
Nialls blog http://www.assuredynamics.com/
Radzmar blog http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com.au/
Stefan's blog http://forms.stefcameron.com/
and http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/
I'm sure there are others, and the JavaScript engine is the FireFox one, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
Maybe other people can add to the list

ID CC 9.2.1: Interactive PDF, text boxes use wrong font
When filling out text boxes of an interactive PDF (created with InDesign CC 9.2.1) in Adobe Reader X, the font used is always Times Roman or such. Whatever I've tried so far, I fail to make the interactive text boxes use a specific font. Should be the same font that's used for the rest of the text on the page. During exporting the PDF, I've instructed InDesign to embed all font glyphs.
Is there a way to get around this problem?
AndreasYou have to work on it after exporting to PDF in Acrobat Pro and change the font there.
BUT: Don't choose exotiv fonts, use the normal standard form fonts, otherwise the file size will increase, because every font in the form must be embedded. Another problem is that older versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or some other possible PDF readers only support the standard form fonts, like Helvetica, Times, Courier in Bold, Regular, Italic, and Bold Italic. So it is better to submit to this limitations. -
Saving psd as pdf text box error
I have been using photoshop to create multi page pdf documents, using psd files with layers so that the text is selectable. A few months ago, this worked fine. Having not used this function since, today I tried to design a new brochure only to find a block of text was not appearing in the pdf document. Or it was appearing but messed up - mostly missing but some is there, some is invisible. Single line text is fine. Through trial and error I discovered text box text is fine, as long as the text doesn't go over two lines.
I tried an old document, which I have already made a brochure with so I know it used to work, and it now has the same error. I also tried simply saving the file as a single pdf doc and it has the same problem, so its not only the multi page function. I've tried different fonts and different size fonts.
I have updated photoshop, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Any ideas?Its the latest version of photoshop and the latest version of acrobat on windows 7. Acrobat reads the pdf file created from the exact same psd but created 3 months ago fine. Creating a pdf with this file now and the text box goes wrong in acro.
I used various pdf settings to try to get it to work. I went through just about every possibility. Various fonts including Ariel and Times New Roman

3 Questions- Two about text boxes and one about something else! (10 Points)
Hi, I'm doing a large project in java and have ran into several issues. These are summed up in these three questions:
1. How would I make certain words certain colours/formats? I have been told I should a JTextPane, but all my text is currently in a box created like this:
static JTextComponent textbox = new JTextArea("", 23, 60);
2. How would I give that above box (or the JTextPane if I used that) line numbers next to each line. Not part of the text box, but on the left hand side numbers go down every line, however (and here's the catch) when you scroll the text box, the line numbers have to scroll also, so they stay in touch with the lines.
3. How would I launch an external application? At the start its just an .exe, however I have to load it with certain parameters? any ideas?
Thank you

I am unable to print the full content of a text box within a PDF that was emailed to me - help!
I open the pdf in Adobe Reader, and can see all of the content on screen by scrolling within the text boxes. But, because the content is "bigger" than the text box in some cases, when I print the pdf, the text gets truncated. Can I print in a way that allows me to see all text that the user entered?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.

Font size in PDF form (text boxes)
Hi!
I have an application form as a PDF which I have to print and send back. But the text isn't fitting into the text box, so I get a scroll bar. Now I either have to change the font size or change the size of the text box. But I couldn't find out how to, neither in Reader 8 nor in 9.
Another Option would be to export it as a jpg or something. Can I do that somehow?
Greetings> I can't imagine there's no way to change the font size...
Yes, the form designer can change the font size. So can you if
(a) you buy the same software - Acrobat Pro, and
(b) the form is not protected - locked - by the form designer.

I love that Acrobat XI has the feature "Edit Text & Images". It saves me and my company time when modifying PDFs for our clients. Though I am having some formatting woes...
When I insert a new text box into the document, I can span the entire text box from top to bottom of the page. I can type whatever I want in it and it makes it simple for editing later. Though, when I save the document, close it, and reopen it, all the text that was in one huge text box is broken out into multiple text boxes (per line of text). This makes it a pain to do any edits to the document because the text overlaps and does not wrap (different text boxes over one another). How can I stop this from happening? Is there a way to combine multiple text boxes maybe? What is the best solution to this issue? (running trial version of Acrobat XI on Win7 64-bit)Why we have chosen not to use comments is due to the how jumbled they become on a page. We are basically going back and putting detailed annotations/footnotes (with numbered markers) to identify what portion of the page the functionality lives/exist. Comments also sometimes close so you cannot find them very easily...
I have just figured out with this form text field solution, I can't use underlined text...sigh...
Update: Figured out the underlined text, CTRL+I -
How do i control 2 text boxes with 1 scroll bar? (CS4)
I want to control 2 Dynamic Text boxs with the 1 scroll bar component? I want them to scroll simultaneously with the user only needing to use the one component. Thank you in advance for your help
The textfields should have the same number of lines. You can have the scrollbar (sb) assigned to one textfield (t1) and then have an event listener/handler for the scrollbar adjust the other textfield's (t2) scrollV property to match the first one's scrollV property:
import fl.events.ScrollEvent;
sb.addEventListener(ScrollEvent.SCROLL, adjustTs);
function adjustTs(evt:ScrollEvent):void {
t2.scrollV = t1.scrollV; -
I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?Thank you for your posting. These forums are specific to the
