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

  • How to populate values in List Box in Adobe form

    Hi,
    How to populate values in List box in adobe forms?
    Thanks
    RB

    if you want to display a fixed values in the dropdown you can use list box ui and can specify values there
    or if u want to display values from the context node of the webdynpro
    1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
    2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.

  • Why can't I select Text box in Adobe XI?

    I am SO frustrated. I can't do something so simple as select a text box in Adobe XI. Whenever I try, all it does is edit the text. I have tried clicking all over in different spots of the object with the select object tool and all it will ever do is edit.

    If it is going to edit text, then you have the edit text tool and not the select object tool. However, these have changed in functionality between versions. I just checked AA XI and if you select the edit text and images under the content editing tools, you can select a text box and move it around. I think this is what you wanted. You have to move the cursor to the edge of the box to move it.

    These forms are not embedded correctly. I'm surprised they even work. You need to go to the distribute tab, click Embed button, copy the embed code provided and then paste that into your HTML. This FAQ explains in more detail and some of the issues you may encounter while embedding: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991

    Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

    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.

  • Reducing the Text height in Adobe Forms

    I have a text field which I have included for the long text of me22n transaction in the context node of Adobe forms. In the form I want to adjust the maximum height of the text field using java script or any other way, as in I do not want to print the text if it exists for more than 3 lines?

    You need to implement a "flowed" design. the concept of flowed means that your field/subform/form expands as your data grows.
    To do this, inserrt a subform and mark it as flowed (Top to Bottom), then drop in a text box and bind it to your input field.
    In your text box's properties, make sure you allow Multiple Lines, and in your Layout pallette make sure Expand to Fit checkboxes are checked.
    your field will grow or shrink depending on your input data.
    EDIT: if you want to hide your field, you need to use formcalc or javascript. you need to check some value (whatever that is, is up to you) then hide your field.
    if (BUSINESS_UNIT eq "G/A" ) then
      COMM_DLY_COSTS.presence  = "hidden"
    endif

  • Duplicating Text Boxes in Adobe 9

    I hope someone can help.  In Adobe 8 I use to be able to create a text box with text then duplicate it on as many pages as I selected.  How do I do this in version 9?

    It is able to be done, but it is much more complicated.  I switched from Adobe 7 where it was a simple right click of the text box to duplicate.  Now you need to do the following:
    Click Forms
             ---> Add or Edit Fields
    Click "No" when it asks if you want to let Acrobat detect the form fields.
    Then right click on you document and select "Text Field".  Draw your text box like normal.  You can then right click on your text box and duplicate like you used to be able to.  When you are done, you click the "Close Form Editing" button in the upper right hand corner.  To alter your text boxes, you go back to Forms---> Add or Edit Fields.
    I don't like how this has been changed, and if anyone knows of a simpler way of doing, I would like to know too.
    Adobe, you made some terrible changes to your software.

    I will recommend you to use smart forms ...
    the link below has the said topic discussed for smart forms ...
    Printing vertical text in Smartform
    Also there is a New tool called Adobe Flex whose integration with SAP is being discussed and worked upon in experimental stage .. the said tool has vertical text capability
    but its not recommended because of lack of extensive testing with regards to Association with SAP
    BR
    Manthan.
    PS it can be done in sapscript too but i will not recommend the same bcoz of the obvious trouble in doing the same.
    also if u still want to stick to sapscript
    Simple way is to use layout format like "X_65_80" or "X_90_120"

  • How do I change the font size and color in a text box in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (ctrl e does not work)?

    I need to mark up scanned pdf documents with text box comments. I can insert the text box and type text but I cannot change the font or color. When I press Crtl E, no tool bar appears in the menu bar. What does appear in the menu bar is "No current selection". Please advise.

    I am already doing that: creating the text box, typing the text, selecting the text i.e. highlighting the text. This morning, for a scant minute, the properties tool bar appeared and I was able to refine the text in a text box. Then it disappeared never to be activated again this morning.
    I work half of my weekly hours at this client office and I only have this problem on their pc and adobe software (version 9 pro). When I am home, my laptop and the adobe software (version 10 pro) is fine. I can create the text boxes and refine the format at will with no issues. Could it be a software version and/or update issue? Thanks for any assistance.

  • List box in adobe form

    I have an adobe form with a bunch of list boxes.  For each list box, I don't want anything selected by default and do not want to put in an extra entry like 'select an item' since I need these to be required fields.  So I would like nothing selected by default but force the user to pick an item from the list.  What is the easiest way to do this?  thanks

    Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.  thx

  • 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.
