Search box in PDF created

Is there any way I can put in my own search box into a pdf I created using Live Cycle or Acrobat?

What's the point? Both Acrobat and Reader already have a built-in search box, so why re-invent the wheel?

  • Help with creating a search box

    Lo,
    I am making a website using dreamweaver 8 and was wondering
    if anyone could help me in making a simple search box. If your
    wondering what i mean when i say search box, i mean a text field
    where you can enter a search subject and a button to submit the
    search. Not unlike the search areas you see on most popular
    websites. So far I've been able to make the text field and button
    but i am having trouble with scripting them so that they actually
    preform a search. I'm guessing that I will have to make a new page
    that to display search results, but other that that i'm pretty much
    in the dark about how to go about it. Anyone who could help me out
    or show me where I could get help, I would really appriciate
    it!

    Thats a good one Nancy, might look into that for an upcoming
    client.
    Atomz have one as well, customizable too.

  • Creating Search box on Muse site

    Does muse have an option to create a search box just for the website?  I can't find any info on this ---

    No, currently Muse does not have this feature.
    You can use the Google version of this ( there is a HTML code snippet to add to your page to implement this ) to search just your site, but in my opinion, it hasn't worked very well where I have used this work-around.

  • I am trying to create a website for my fire department that has a search box for building number.

    I have a search box on my webpage, and I have all the data that I need in a folder.  Not sure how to link the data to the search box.  The desire is when a user selects a number( say 100) then it will display the cover sheet, and links to the drawings associated with that number. I have all documents (cover sheets & drawings) in pdf format. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

  • How to create custom search box will allow up to 60 alphanumericcharacters & User can input a minimum of 1 character and the system will pull back an exact match on the sequence entered.

    "The search box will allow up to 60 alphanumeric characters.User can input a minimum of 1 character and the system will pull back an exact match on the sequence entered"

    Hi Pradeep,
    Find the complete JQuery AutoComplete function with along with different events in it like focus, select, open and close. You can modify this code as per your requirement.
    $("#ddlSearchTextBox").autocomplete({

  • Creating search box?

    Hi, can anyone please help me... i have created a search box, but the problem is that i have one search box (text field) and 3 select box's. all of them fall part of the search and are required. I also need to search for only the first letter of names. thanks

    Sounds to me you must have 2 variables for search.
    The first one is the variable for the checkboxes the second one is the one you parse in the search form.
    Once your submit the two search variables to the page, modify your query report to use those variables in the query.
    select * from your_table where some_field like '%your_search%' and some_condition like 'your_checkbox'
    I think that will do the trick, keep in mind you can always have highlighted the results of the query that is a very nice feature.
    Hope this helps. D.

  • What happened to the search box in toolbar in PDF Reader X

    Hi,
    Can anyone help on how to get the search box to show in the toolbar as had in previous versions of reader? There dosn't seem to be option to activate it in preferances. Seems idiotic to remove it, used it lot ot search documents, etc.
    If it's been removed does anyone have link for verison 9.4?
    Thanks in advace for any help

    The workaround described here only enables the search button.
    As I understand, there is no way to still have the search box (or search field) in the toolbar.
    As others wrote, at least for me it is a fundamental feature to be able to search for something with Acrobat (Reader).
    Being able just to write the word to search, was so easy.
    So, WHY, did you remove this feature?
    For this reason, I switched back to Version 9 (wich is not easy if
    you have Acrobat Std X installed; you first have to uninstall Acrobat Std X, install Reader 9,
    and then reinstall Acrobat Std X again).
    Sorry Adobe, but this is an IMPORTANT step backwards, which is absolutely not acceptable.
    Please, never remove a core feature (I really couldn't believe it, at first, and thought I am too stupid to find the right way to enable it).

  • How to make a report based on a search box containg IDs for multiple rows

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using APEX to build a database application. My users want to search a table by submitting multiple IDs in a search box. They want to list the row IDs for all the rows they want to search in one input box, and after clicking the Submit botton, all the rows should be displyed. Any idea to make it with APEX. I appreciate all your help.
    Guang

    Unless your search is all numbers, each one will have to be separated by a '. That's probably why the multiple select isn't working. Try and add that around your SQL query, but I think you'll have to escape it for it to work.
    And about the error-checking, you can create a short PL/SQL snippet to check/format the string in :PXX_SEARCH. You could start with something as simple as having it attach the ' you''ll need.
    declare
      srch_tmp     VARCHAR2(200);
    begin
      srch_tmp   := ''||:PXX_SEARCH||'';
      :PXX_SEARCH   := srch_tmp;
    end;Note that this is incomplete and won't do everything you need. You'll have to use some string manipulators like REGEXP to parse the search string.

  • Is there a way to search several keywords at a time on the top right search box?

    Hello.
    Let's say I want all the images to appear that have any of these keywords:  "sky, mountain, water".  The only way I have figured out it takes too long and it's tedious.  I open the "find" window and manually add search variables to look for several keywords and file names for the values that I am looking for.
    Isn't there a way to search for files that have any of the keywords I write on the search box by dividing these keywords with commas or any other puntuation? Or am I stuck opening the "find" window and add rows of variables that I want to search?

    I really do hope you are part of the development team for the Bridge.
    If only…
    I'm just a user like you and almost all other participants. Steve (SG) is one of the very helpful Adobe Engineers who occasionally hang around every now and then but they do so out of personal interest and kindness. They also try to be a shortcut to the Bridge engineers, it is no company policy to interact directly with developers on this user to user forum...
    But if I was responsible for resources for the Bridge development team they already would have had loads of money to realize my perfect Bridge and this process would have started from CS3 and above…. but as said, I'm just a humble photographer with no knowledge at all in programming applications and by far not enough money to realize this dream app
    Regarding your Find comments, I do realize there are some extra actions needed and the less you can make the better it would be. However as said, I don't know of any DAM application capable of what you want.
    It is kind of looking into a database and that needs separate criteria to my knowledge. If I had to use the search function that much I would look for a dedicated Digital Asset Manager to do this tasks.
    I'm not very deep in to knowledge about DAM but I use Canto Cumulus Single user for my Archive which is much faster then Bridge (Bridge is much better in other tasks so I need both).
    In Canto you can create a query to customize your own search needs in a better way but this needs some extra knowledge and study, I have only 65 K of files in my archive and searching is not that difficult using the normal route of quick find.
    And to comfort you a little, both Bridge and Canto do reopen the find menu with the last settings which is still not ideal but saves a bit of moves. Having the option to save templates like in batch rename would be a big plus but it is not an option yet.
    And of course, you can also put in a feature request for this:

  • How can I get the awesome bar back. In v. 31 I have lost it and my search box has no search engines. I did use the classic restorer back a few versions, but I d

    This might be a duplicate-I neglected to click submit-so am trying again.
    Since I upgraded to v. 31, my location bar makes me type the address in exactly, or else it says not a valid address. I guess somewhere the awesome bar got lost. Also, my search box does not have any search engines listed at all. Back around v. 29 I added the classic theme restorer addon, but did not think that would have affected the location and search bars as it upgraded. Any help you can give me will really be appreciated. I have worked on this for days. At one, time the location bar was gone completely.
    Thanks in advance!

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Setting the colour of the search box text on a public website

    I am using the search box snippet in the header of my public website.
    The background of the header is a dark blue.  The search box background is transparent so the default colour of the text (#444) on the dark blue background is barely visible.
    The text colour appears to be set by the following entry in corev15.css:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#FFFFFF;
    I changed the colour from #444 to #FFFFFF.
    Now I want to create a new post in the Blog.  The new post's Title and Body fields use the same entry in corev15.css to set the colour of the text.  As the background of the new post is white the text is invisible!
    Using the F12 development function in IE, setting the colour of the Search box text with an inline function works, but when I add style="color:white" to the <input> of the Search box snippet it seems to be ignored.
    What am I doing wrong?  Is there another way around the problem (I don't want to change the background colour of the header nor the background of the post page and there is no colour that will display the text well enough against both backgrounds).
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanking you in anticipation.
    Roger

    Thanks for your help, Patrick.
    Adding color: white !important; inline in the <input tag of the Search box snippet is still ignored, however.  When I look at the HTML and CSS with F12 in IE, the inline mark-up is not set.  I guess this something to do with how the Search Box
    snippet works?
    I've made some progress, though.  All the pages of the site (except the Blog NewPost page) use the corev15.css file. So I've set the colour here to white.  The css entry is:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#FFFFFF;
    The Blog NewPost page uses \_catalog\theme\themed\CDD8DBA6/COREV15-51C31438.themedcss. I've changed the same CSS entry as follows:
    input[type=password],
    input[type=text],
    input[type=file],
    select,
    textarea,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevel,
    .sp-peoplepicker-topLevelDisabled,
    .sp-peoplepicker-autoFillContainer,
    .ms-inputBox
    border:1px solid #B0B0B0;
    background-color:#fff;
    background-color:rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85);
    color:#444 !important;
    Now this page sets the colour to #444.  This means that the text in the Title and Body fields is visible but the text in the Search Box (with its dark blue background) is not.
    The Search Box on Blog NewPost is not vital but I'd like to fix it.  How can I do this?

  • Unable to save a PDF created from a secure webpage in Acrobat X

    Hi,
    Our Acrobat X standard won't 'save' or 'save as' PDFs created from a password secured website. Same symptom on two machines here. Other PDFs work fine.
    The workflow we're using is opening acrobat, selecting create pdf from website, and then specifying a website with an https address and entering a username and password to access the site. This generates a pdf which looks great, all the links work etc... but when you click 'save as,' absolutely nothing happens. You're left just looking at your PDF with no save window or anything opening.
    This gets done every day in the office here. I suspect the latest update may have caused the issue?

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Thanks for your reply!
    I checked document properties and security is off. I've also unticked "Enhanced Security" under Security (Enhanced) in the Edit > Preferences menu.
    This issue is only affecting our acrobat 10 and acrobat 11 users. I still have a couple acrobat 9 users here and they're unaffected.
    The Save As button is not greyed out -- it's available but clicking on it just closes the file menu and does not open the save as dialog box.

  • Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

    Hi,
    Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
    There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
    Some info here:
    http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
    A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.

  • OpenType font won't work in PDF created from PM 7.0.1a file

    Per my client's request, I had to purchase a lovely new OpenType font, AJenson Pro, for a book project I'm paging using PageMaker 7.0.1a in Windows XP. First it wouldn't print on my postscript HP laser printer, but downloading an updated printer driver from the HP web site easily fixed that problem. But I have done everything I can think of and I can't get the new font to appear in a .pdf created using Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5, which came bundled with PageMaker.
    The font shows up in the finished .pdf as boxes with X marks in them instead of letters! I'm not trying to use anything but standard characters (no glyphs, etc.) in the font. I've been using PageMaker and creating .pdf files in Acrobat Distiller 5.0 for years and have had no problems until I got this new font. Adobe Type Manager shows that it is installed and it looks great on the screen.
    I purchased the entire AJenson Pro font family from MyFonts.com, so I have bold, bold ital, etc. Their technical support couldn't suggest anything I hadn't already tried.
    I'm planning on upgrading my PageMaker to InDesign soon, but I'll need a new computer to meet the minimum system requirements so I've been putting it off. I'm afraid to even download the free 30-day trial on my older computer. Any suggestions on how to get this OpenType font to work in a .pdf created using PM 7.0.1a and Acrobat Distiller 5.0, or do I have to upgrade to InDesign right away? I need to be able to create a .pdf so I can e-mail proofs to my client and eventually to send the finished book to a commercial printer. Thanks!

    I have had this same problem myself with most Open Type fonts. It's very irritating, because it seems like most of the new fonts are being issued exclusively in Open Type.
    I have developed a work-around, which you can attempt at your own risk.
    Purchase the software FontCreator (I use FontCreator 5.6 Home Edition). It's not very expensive.
    Open the problem font in FontCreator, and save it with a different name. In the process of saving it, the font will be converted to a TrueType font. Install the new version of the font. In my experience, you can then successfully use the font in Pagemaker, and convert it to a pdf.
    This is not a perfect solution because there will be a *very* slight diminishment in the crispness of the lines of the font -- but this is only visible when the font is magnified to something like 6400% in Acrobat. It is not visible to the naked eye, or at least not to my naked eye.

  • Annotations made in Preview to PDFs created from MS Word corrupts PDF

    In Preview, when I save annotations to PDFs created from an MS Word document, the PDF seems to be corrupted. Searching in the PDF no longer shows any results, and text copied from the PDF is displayed as a series of meaningless characters when pasted into a note annotation, or pasted into another file (e.g. a TextEdit file). So for example, "the monitoring of progress" becomes ")@%8,1),&12%,=%4&,2&//" when copied and pasted.
    Is there any way to prevent PDFs from being corrupted in this way, or to restore the PDF so that searching and copying work correctly?

    I suspect this is a problem with M$ failing to handle PDF files correctly. I would suggest you ask your question over on the M$ forums instead of here.
