Text field issue in Sub Form

Hello Experts,
I am creating my very first Adobe Form for my client. I have created a subform with "Flowed" content. I have one Text Field in that sub form. When I try to place the second Text Field adjacent to that, it's not letting me do that. It's placing the Text Field under the first one. Can you please let me know how to overcome this issue?
Thanks a lot for your help. I did search and could not find any solution for this.
Also, I tried to change the position manually, but the X: and Y: positions are greyed out for me in Layout pallette.

Hi sam,
When you have selected the sunform to be "flowed" , there is an adjacent field where you mention the typr of flow - 'Top to bottom ' or 'Western text' . If you specify as 'western text' then you could get the desired result. you can use rectangles etc for any alignment based on your layout requirement.

  • How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

    Hi,experts,
    I don’t know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
    Action:
    1. config the ADS successfully.
    2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
    3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
    I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
    CONCATENATE
    '1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
    '2、bbbbbbbbb '
    '3、ccccccccccc'
    '4、ddddddddd'
    INTO remark .
    lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
    name = `REMARK`
    value = remark ).
    But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
    Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi,
    If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
    this.rawValue    
    = util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
    This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
    If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
    function        toTitleCase(textValue)
      return  textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
    This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

  • How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

    Hello all!
    First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
    I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
    What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
    So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
    I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
    I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks Everyone

    All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
    Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

  • InfoPath form, rich text fields, "There was a form postback error" InvalidOperationException, There has been an error while processing the form

    Using InfoPath 2013 browser enabled form.
    I am getting the above error on ALL Infopath Designed Rich Text fields, where the "Cannot be blank" attribute is set.
    To reproduce it, I create a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I add 2 Rich Text fields and enable "cannot be blank". To raise the error, I put some data in the RT field. Skip to another field (so focus is changed and a postback
    occurs), then back to original field to delete the contents (to raise the validation).
    I originally thought it was associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered (and I have re-registered it just in case), but the exception I get from the ULS logs reads (it is from a list AFTER I have re-registered the DLL):
    There was a form postback error.

    I noticed that errors associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered would have some sort of COM exception (example: TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED or REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
    I also should mention that this problem started happening about 3 weeks ago. We have extended the web application to handle HTTPS on the intranet zone (we had a reverse proxy project that did not eventuate) - would that cause something? How can I do further
    checking?

    Here is a similar post said that executing the command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\

  • Multiple Column text field in Static PDF form

    Okay, I'm pulling my hair out here. I am filling a .pdf form with itextsharp using powershell scripts. All this part of the issue is working fine.

    I just can't figure out how to either:
    a) add multiple columns like I add multiple lines inside a text field

  • Is there a way to link text fields in an interactive form in ID CS6?

    I'm recreating a form where they had several text fields on top of each other. If the form were not interactive, that would be so the user could use it to fill out longer, more detailed responses to the questions.
    But since it's supposed to be interactive, I question the need for this, unless I could link them somehow, so that a user's long answer would flow from one field to the next as needed.
    Is there a way to do that? Or would it work better to combine the 3 text fields into one big text field?
    If the latter, is there a way to change a text field back into a text or picture box? I can't seem to find that option.

    You cannot link PDF fields to each other.
    Make a text field Multiline and Scrollable to allow for extra input (in Acrobat, but not in InDesign, you can also set a limit on the number of characters).
    As I said elsewhere, choose Object > Interactive > Convert to Object to change a field to a regular object.

  • Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

    Hello All,
    Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
    Thanks,

    Naresh,
    Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
    <YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
    For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
    if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
      TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
    You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

  • Sum the values of a text field in a tabular form using JavaScript

    Hi Folks.
    OK, I put my hands up. I don't know Java script but I'm picking up the basics and I WANT to learn.
    Here's my situation.
    I have a tabular form which has lots of Standard Report Columns and ONE text field.
    I want to sum the values entered in the text field, real time, using Java Script without the need to have a round trip to the database.
    I'm guessing this will involve some kind of loop. Once I have that SUM figure I will store it in a hidden item and it will be used for validation when the user submits the form.
    If anyone can give me a simple Java Script to do this, or point me in the direction of one, I'd be very grateful.
    Many thanks.
    Dogfighter.

    Hi Arie.
    Thanks for the link.
    That's a great start,
    What I've got working so far is the following...
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function f_calculate_delta(p_this,p_rownum)
    var amt = $x(p_this).value;
    alert (amt);
    var display_item_to_set = 'f08_'+ p_rownum
    $x(display_item_to_set).innerHTML = amt
    </script>
    This is working fine.
    Where I'm stuck at the moment is how I can 'get' the value of another cell in the same row. They have all been set up using the APEX_ITEM API with their own unique IDs.
    I will continue looking but if you could give me a steer, that would be great.
    Many thanks
    Simon
    PS. APEX 3.1
    PPS. Trying to get the value of another row using...
    var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
    var expected_amt = $x(display_item_to_get).value
    PPPS. Also tried...
    var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
    var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get)
    and
    var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
    var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get).value
    None of which are working at the moment.

  • How to "encapsulate" a data from a text field in a JSP form

    Hi. I'm trying to make a user's registration jsp page and I'm not sure how I could get the data from a JSP form from the user and store that into some variable that I could later pass to a query to modify the database. I've been using a JavaBean, but I get null values for all the fields of the jsp page. That's logical, since I cannot find a method that will read the user's input and store that into some variable. In my JavaBean, I have get and set methods that will return a String for each of the form fields such as first name and email. The set method will have in a String as a parameter to set that field value (whichever field it is) to the value of the input parameter, but I don't know if there is a method or a way to read and store the values entered by the user into the jsp form. This is a code snippet of the jsp form:
    <TR><TD>First Name: </TD>
    <TD><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="fname"
                   VALUE="<%= newUser.getFirstName() %>"></TD></TR>
    Here, the getFirstName() method simply returns the value of a String value related to the user's first name, which is initialized as null in the JavaBean. newUser is the name of the JavaBean that I'm using.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    haha...nevermind this question also guys...I found out that I could use the request.getParameter("some_String") method with my JavaBean to read and store data entered by the user in a text field.

  • Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

    I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

    So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?

  • Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

    I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
    I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
    Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
    Thanks in advance.

    This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

  • Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF form to aut fill with current/today's date?

    Thank you GKaiseril!
    From the examples by Chris Dahl, I edited the script in the text field editing dialog to reflect the title I had given the field. That fixed the problem of today's date disappearing as soon as I tabbed to the next field.
