"Text Boxes" (comments) in my form are included in "tabbing" through fields while filling in a form

I have included several text boxes (not text fields) in my form. They are adjacent to the fields that are being filled in and serve various comment functions that I do not want in the printed form at the end.
If the user "tabs" through the fields to enter data in the next field the 'text boxes' (comments) are included in the tab stops... I can not see where to turn that off. I want the tab order key to ignore the comment fields - the text boxes. They are not even listed in the tab order menu.
Also - is there a way a field that shows up multiple times in a form (duplicate field) can be skipped by the tabbing through IF it aleady has data in it?

I'm not aware of any app that will translate the form fields from Word to the iPad. My guess is that you're going to have to recreate the forms on the iPad.  The best app that I've found for doing this is FormConnect http://http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/formconnect/id432653695?mt=8&ls=1. It's a very simple app for creating check boxes and text fields.

  • My autofill stopped working recently.  I looked under preferences and all the necessary boxes are checked.  When I start to fill out a form, the autofill box comes up, but when I click on it, it turns blue and nothing else happens.

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."

  • Carriage returns in text box comments

    Hi I am new to Acrobat (using Acr
    obat Pro 9) and I have found that when I add text to a text box it does not seem to recognise the carria
    ge return. It seems to do when I type than when I click out of the box the CRs dissappear.
    I have resorted to adding a space which does not seem correct.
    Is there a setting somewhere?

    Whenever you append a line of text to the StringBuffer you also append the newline string for your platform which you can get from the System.getProperty(...) method. For a list of properties, see the getPoperties() method.

  • Is there a way to find what projects are included into aproject through

    Greetings All,
    I've been wondering if there is a way to find out what projects have a
    "Project" included? I would think that there is some undocumented TOOL code
    that does this or a undocumented fscript command that does it. Does anybody
    know about this or a way to find this out?
    Thanks!!

  • Freezes while filling out login form to websites

    I've been experiencing this for over a month now. Basically, occasionally when logging into a website (i.e. google, designers.mx, amazon, etc. -- really doesn't matter what site it seems), Lion will entirely freeze up for seconds to up to minutes. More specifically it occurs when tabbing from the username to the password field. This will happen both in Chrome and Firefox. I had thought it was related to maybe firefox add-ons (i.e. I have 1password, but i've disabled them and have had it still happen. I do use firebug, but wouldn't think it was related to this issue...
    I've already verified there are no issues in the keychain access as well.
    I can sometimes unfreeze momentarily it by pressing the power button briefly.
    I'm also up-to-date on all my Lion updates.
    Any help is most appreciated.

    I am so glad I see this posting! I have the same issues for a long time now and I was just going to post my own thread!
    The freezing is related to any pasword promopt for me - not just in FF or chrome. Its for VNC, and even mac's own screenserver password prompt!
    I found a hack to unfreeze the screen thought with out waiting for 2mins.
    On the right bottom corner (where DVD drive is) hold it tight and give a twist like u want to break the laptop. You will see that the screen unfreezes immediately. I do this pretty much everytime I get prompted for password these days.
    Something bizare is going on! I have not found a way to permanently fix it till now.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

    I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

    This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
    I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

  • I have created a .pdf form with text boxes, but the recipients are unable to fill in their answers.

    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 PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/forms

  • Looking for a good method or APP to have client sign a form in a text box

    I am looking for a good method or App to take an existing form/Document and have a client sign, date etc.  I will want to create the text boxes in a stationary location.  Possibly to also take a picture to add to form.
    Has anyone used any apps to accomplish this?
    Apps I have tried.
    Signnow
    Sign PDF
    Sign Easy
    Sign Easy is about the best except the signatures (text boxes, dates, etc) are free floating and confuse people where to add them on form each time.  Clients have no clue how to use it.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.  I may be over complicating this also, as there could just be a PDF app that I utilize.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • How to include unicode chars in text boxes?

    Hi,
    We need the unicode chars (for example: Chinese, Korean, etc...) to appear in the generated .pdf and .pcl files from the Adobe Output designer's IFD file.
    These chars are static and will not change, so we shall not be fetching them from FNF file (.dat).
    While trying to copy-paste directly into text box field, we are getting an error prompting for converting them to some other character set.
    We couldn't paste them exactly with the text how they should appear in the text boxes.
    Please tell us if there is a way to achieve this.
    Thanks and regards,

    Double check that all of the selected presentation targets and the font being used for the particular text box supports the characters you are trying to paste into it. For example, the PDF target only has 11 fonts available unless you use the other tabs to "create new soft font cartidges". If you have the appropriate fonts installed on you PC you should be able to use this capability to make the font available for each of your presentation targets. (At least that is my impression - I've never needed to try it.)

  • How do I save a font and it's size and color in a text box as a default

    I am using Adobe Acrobat XI for Mac and can't figure out how to set a default font for text boxes. I don't seem to be able to access the properties to set the default by highlighting a properly formatted text box and pressing ctrl-e. Is there another key combination for Mac? Or another method for setting defaults? I'm finding I have to set the font, size and color every time I open a new Acrobat doc and want to add a text box. Also, the choices are not even saving with the document. The fonts already typed save correctly, but on reopening, I have to reset if I want to add more text.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Tom Carlson

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've got a Logitech G700S Mouse with a right click button, so right-clicking isn't an issue. Unfortunately, the I can't seem to find the menu to "Use Current Properties as New Defaults." I may not have described the problem correctly.
    I am adding text to a pre-existing pdf document, not creating a form. I would like to be able to set a default font, size and color for text, so that when I enter text in a text box onto the pdf document, it has those properties. If I select the text box that is properly formatted (not the text, but the box) and right click, the only choices I get are:
    Cut
    Copy
    Delete
    Select All
    Deselect All
    Arrange>
    Edit Using>
    So I gues my question is if one can even format a text box as a default or a "style" or the like. I tried setting a default font, size and color for "comments" also in the Acrobat preferences, but even that didn't seem to stick when I opened a new doc. This all may just be a Mac / Mavericks interaction flaw. Anybody have any other ideas?
