Text Field not shown in Adobe 6.0 and 7.0
I created a simple pdf file with a text field in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. After I fill the text field with a third party tool in a program, the field's value dosen't appear in Adobe Professional 7.0 while appears in Adobe Professional 6.0. What is a problem? Does some settings will affect this case?
Thanks for any answer...
Thanks for your reply.
I had another test recently.
I save a pdf as a "compatible with 6.0" type which is created by Adobe Designer 7.0. After I opened it in 6.0 and filled the text field, it worked well. But when I opened it in 7.0, all the value was lost.
Is 7.0 not well compatible with 6.0? What could I do if I created pdf with 7.0 and the users use 6.0 (you know, I can't request all the users to use new 7.0)?
Any advice will be appreciated.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
( ) |TEXT FIELD|
( ) |TEXT FIELD|
( ) | |
( ) |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: ( )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guysHey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?

Auto date entry in text field not working
I have a text field named tdate, which is read-only and visible. I want Acrobat XI Pro to insert today's date when the form is opened. Here's what I have:
javascript code:
var f = this.getField("tdate");
if (!f.value) f.value = util.printd ("mmmm d, yyyy", new Date());
This code is inserted in Page properties / Actions /Page Open / run a JavaScript
nothing happens when the page is opened.
I have also tried, unsuccessfully, to enter this JavaScript code within the form field actions (mouse up), and nothing happens. I see from the forum comments that apparently this is successful for other users, but nothing seems to fill this text field. What am I doing wrong?
BillThanks for your reply. I started to wonder whether or not the current field
that I created had somehow been corrupted due to my fooling around so I
deleted the field re-created it (and also randomly JavaScript debugger and
deleted the code there) and now the current date appears in the text field.
I wonder why Adobe doesn't simply allow the user to insert fields where the
field is filled with either the current date or the current time instead of
forcing the user to enter some JavaScript code. Not all users of Acrobat
professional want to get that involved.

Bill

Text Fields Not Showing in Design or Live View
Hello Everyone,
I have run into a problem trying to create a simple contact form through Dreamweaver CS6. I have two text fields for Name & Email, and 1 text area for Comments. The issue I am running into is that the text fields are not showing in Design or Live view. I have set-up all variables required for the server for the form to work... but that should not have any effect on the text field showing... I tried uploading my contact page with the same result of no text fields showing...
What is really laughable is that the "text area" I placed in my form for Comments shows up in Design & Live view just fine. I am thinking that I am missing something, but just do not know what exactly. The form is styled through CSS.
Here is the form code:
<div id="CRDForm">
<form action="http://www.sweetformimi.com/formmail/formmail.php" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" name="contact" target="_self" id="contact">
<input type="hidden" name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST,REMOTE_ADDR,HTTP_USER_AGENT,AUTH_TYPE,REMOTE_USER">
<input type="hidden" name="recipients" value="[email protected]" />
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Contact Form" />
<label><p>Your Full Name
<input name="Name" type="text" id="Name" size="40" /></p>
</label>
<label><p>Email
<input name="email" type="text" accesskey="2" tabindex="2" title="Email" value="Email"></p>
</label>
<label>Comments<br />
<textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="10" accesskey="3" tabindex="3" title="Comments"></textarea>
</label>
<input name="submit" type="submit" accesskey="4" tabindex="4" title="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</div>
Are there other variables I should be thinking about in the rest of my site? I am using a fluid grid layout. I have CSS for desktop, tablet, and phone devices. I also have a primary CSS file that imports all three. The sites structure was done by using <header>, <article>, <footer>, and of course <div> tags.
Has anyone ever experienced the "text fields" not showing up before? Is it a simple fix as reinstalling Dreamweaver CS6? Finally, another thing I should mention is that I did have a previous version of Dreamweaver on my comp, which was CS3. I did not uninstall that before installing the newer version. I assumed (and I could be wrong here) that it would automatically replace the older version.
I apoligize for it being long winded, but I am looking for some help on this issue...
Thank YouHey thank you osgood for the reply!
When I look at code for long hours it sort of blurs together, and I miss things... I think that happens to the most of us
Ya I found what was blocking my text fields in my desktop.css
I primarily work through code view, and currently working on quite a few projects kind of makes your eyes miss the small errors.
Thanks again! -

Formerly I could download YouTube videos by double clicking the largest size page element in the Safari activity window address column . Now in V 5.0.5 page elements are not shown, just the page title, and under that "about:blank". Also, the activity window used to show sequential activity and now each new page replaces the last. Thanks for any suggestions re how to restore previous activity window function.
Not all YouTube videos are available for downloading, but:
There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
and the RealPlayer Downloader that comes with RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
which also downloads videos from YouTube.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:

Adobe Interactive Form text field not editable
Hello,
I created an Adobe Form using transaction SFP and placed a textfield on the body page.
I then created a Web Dynpro application using SE80, placed Interactive Form container on the view. I also checked the flag 'Enabled' and provided the templateSource as my Adobe Form name.
When I test the WD application, the text field is not editable.
Can you please advise what needs to be done?
Thanks
SagarHi...
Place the following code in domodifyview
data:
lr_interactive_form type ref to cl_wd_interactive_form,
lr_method_handler type ref to if_wd_iactive_form_method_hndl.
check first_time = abap_true.
lr_interactive_form ?= view->get_element( 'INTERACTIVE_FORM' ).
lr_method_handler ?= lr_interactive_form->_method_handler.
lr_method_handler->set_legacy_editing_enabled( abap_true ).

International Characters in PDF Forms are not shown correctly (Adobe Reader 11.0.06)
I have a PDF form served from a web application and shown in Internet Explorer and want to put in string values with norwegian letter like 'ÅRE ØRE ÆRE'.
These are not shwon correctly when I toggle "Highlight Existing Fields" and the focus is not on the text field in question.
I am runing on Windows 7.I cannot reproduce this using a test form I created: https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/e6b390e1-625c-4f59-86c5-c2ca07998279

Text field not showing record set options
I entered the following php code to a text field in a form:
<p>
<label for="date">Select Available Date</label>
<select name="date" class="text" id="date">
<option value="0" selected="selected">select your preferred travel date</option>
<?php while ($row_rsDep = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDep)) {
echo '<option>' . date('d.m.Y',strtotime($row_rsDep['Start_Date_Eur'])) . ' - ' . date('d.m.Y',strtotime($row_rsDep['End_Date_Del'])) . '-' . $row_rsDep['Itinerary_Code'] . '</option>';
?>
</select>
</p>
In the text field it shows only the option=0 "select your preferred travel date" and does not show the rest of the options as available from the database.
Any idea what is wrong with my code?
Thanks,
zabberwanI do have it showing in the sidebar showing as a repeating region. I commented it out and entered your code, but this time it shows nothing at all, not even an error!
The problem may have to do with "VIEWS" as I am working partly with Views on the external server. The server guys are having problems allowing Views. They did allow it for my account, but somehow this is not working. So I update my database leaving out the 3 tables created as views out of a total of 8. On the contrary on the local server the database is working fine, so that may not be the problem after all.
I had got it work a fortnight back, but lost it as I had to redo a few things with the forms it is in. On the sidebar it is working fine otherwise as a repeating region and showing all the dates of all itineraries. Only it's not working in the form, where it shows the preselected string (select your preferred travel date), but not the rest of the options.
About changing the email, one has to change the whole ID and profile etc. and then you can't log into your own account with the same user name, you have to have a different one, so that your own thread is no longer your own. What a pile of goons at the wheels! And what a disappointment with otherwise such a great bunch of forums.. I'll now have to contact the staff and would like them wipe out all my ID's and Profiles at Adobe and make a new one. It's such a rotten mess. This thing even ruined my ID at Adobe Browser Lab.
I suppose we'll leave it for Mr. Nobody to fix it, like so many other things especially around Christmas!

Text frame not shown on windows server 2008
I am facing the issue that on windows server 2008 the frame of a text fields are not shown. On windows 7 there is no issue. As example I have attached two screenshots showing that on windows 7 the frames for precision and scale are shown, but on 2008 not (additional info: the text field is there and can be edited).
Do you know such an issue? Any suggestion how to solve it?
Many thanks for your help
PeterHi,
When you click the Plus sign next to a master page to create another master page, it doesn't inherit the objects from the master page. It simply creates a blank master page. If you want the new master page to inherit the objects, then right click the desired master page and select "Duplicate page".
As far as child pages are concerned, yes, they should inherit all the objects and properties of the master page. It is really odd if its not happening for you. What happens when you right click the child page and apply desired master for that menu?

How can I place a text field not directly on the left of the page but with an indent to the right?
Hi everybody,
I try to create a form in which I want to enter several item under each other
general info Item 1 Item 2
Name 1 Name 2
Item 3 Item 4
and so on.
Since it is not possible to insert a table for something like that I would like to enter seperate text fields one underneath the other.
But every new line starts on the left side and I do not see any way to move a text field to the right with an indent so that "item 1", "Name 1" and "item 3" are aligned the same.
Can anybody give me a hint?
Thanks a lot and have a good 2015!
OliverHi,
Insert a blank "Formatted Text" field on the far left, and shrink it down as much as you wish. Then insert your normal text field to the right of that.
I hope that helps,

Button Setting Variable - Text Field Not Updating
Hi,
I am working with Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows.
I am unable to make the following work: When the user clicks a Button, a Text Field appears with the text associated with the Button clicked. I have tried accomplishing this with a variable declared in the Document JavaScripts, buttons setting the value of the variable, and a Text Field containing a Custom Calculation Script that returns the text associated with the value of the variable.
Everything works - except the Text Field doesn't return the text associated with the value of the variable. I have an app.alert (for now) in the button scripts so I can see if the variable has the correct value - and it does - but when the Text Field appears - the text never changes.
What I have observed: if I go back into the Custom Calculation Script of the Text Field and do nothing, go back out, go to Preview, and click on a Button, the text updates to the previous variable value (not the Button variable value I just clicked).
So - I think - the Custom Calculation Script isn't seeing the new variable "on the fly". Even though the app.alerts are. I don't think this is a Field Calculation Order problem. But maybe it is. And this is where my brain power ends. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have this in the Document JavaScripts:
var ITrig = 1;
I have three Buttons (want to have more) that will set the ITrig variable.
Here is what I have in one Button:
var Inpopup = this.getField("PartASectionIIInstructions")
ITrig = 2;
app.alert(ITrig);
if (Inpopup.display == display.hidden) {
Inpopup.display = display.visible
Inpopup.setFocus();
} else {
Inpopup.display = display.hidden;
I have this in the PartASectionIIInstructions Text Field in the Custom Calculation Script:
if (ITrig == 2) {
event.value = "#2";
else if (ITrig == 3) {
event.value = "#3";
else if (ITrig == 4) {
event.value = "#4";Thank you. I had tried something like that earlier - without success. That is why I went to the calculation script. So - I went back to the "Acrobat Forms - JavaScript Object Specification" looking for an answer. It finally sunk in I was guilty of this:
var Inpopup = this.getField("PartASectionIIInstructions").value
Inpopup = "#3"
When I should have been doing this:
var Inpopup = this.getField("PartASectionIIInstructions")
Inpopup.value = "#3" -
Cfpdfform (CF8) changes text-field font of an adobe 9 pdf form to Courier
I'm having problems getting cfpdfform to render the text-field font as it exists in the source pdf form.
The source pdf form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
When I download the pdf from the server using cfcontent, the text-fields look as expected, retaining their designated font (and the pdf has the desired fonts embedded).
However, when I do a cfpdfform action="populate", the text-field font is switched with Courier (even though the desired fonts remain embedded).
This happens regardless of what font I pick.
I have verified that the font exists on the server and in cf admin.
Here's my code:
<!--- populate --->
<cfpdfform action="populate"
source="#pdfPathFile#"
destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
overwrite = "yes">
<cfpdfformparam name="student_name" value="first name and last name" />
<cfpdfformparam name="certificate_title" value="a cool certificate title" />
<cfpdfformparam name="certificate_date" value="1/1/2010" />
</cfpdfform>
<!--- make read-only --->
<cfpdf action = "write"
destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
source = "#pdfPathFile#"
flatten = "yes"
overwrite = "yes" />
<!--- return the content --->
<cfcontent
file = "#pdfPathFile#"
deleteFile = "yes"
reset = "yes"
type = "application/pdf" />
Commenting out the cfpdf action = "write" block produced the same outcome.
Using different source and destination filenames (vs overwriting existing one) didn't make a difference, either.
Any ideas on how I can get cfpdfform to respect my predefined text-field fonts?
I truly appreciate your time.The problem was resolved.
Turned out to be the way the pdf was created by Adobe 9 Standard that made cfpdfform misbehave.
Three things we did seemed to have made the pdf acceptable by cfpdfform:
1. Downloaded the latest updates for Adobe 9 Standard
2. Checked on the text-field "Multi-line" property
3. Checked off the text-field "Rich Text Formatting" property

Increase the Size of the Range Text Field in the Export Adobe PDF Dialog Box
It’s not unusual for me to export a wide range of pages and I hate that the text field for Range is so small, often cutting off from view many of the page numbers.
There’s a lot of blank space sitting there, begging to be used. A quick measurement shows that the field can be more than doubled from the current 150px to 380px.
The attached PNG shows the text field I'm talking about.Here's a sample
The debug version allows easy changing of the size, and yes all it takes is changing 1 number. The reason it is only half is probably aesthetic. -
Get the value from dropdown list (selectedIndex) and text field -- not working
Hi All,
I am trying to find and change by the values selected by user using dropdown and text field. Here is the code.
ChangeRevDetails();
function ChangeRevDetails(){
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Enter copyright information"});
// var monthlist = col1.dropdowns.add('myList', undefined, myList);
var col1 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
var col2 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Month:"});
col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Year:"});
col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Rev. no.:"});
var myList = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "Sepetember", "October", "November", "December" ];
var myMonth = col2.dropdowns.add({stringList:myList, selectedIndex:0, minWidth:100});//{minWidth:100});
var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
ChangeRevDetails();
else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
alert (RevMonth);
alert (RevYear);
alert (RevNumber);
alert (RevToReplace1);
alert (RevToReplace2);
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
// grep find/change
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "[\\l\\u]+?\\s?\\d{4},?\\s+[\\l\\u]+\\.*\\s+\\d+";
app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = RevToReplace1;
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
else //implies user clicked cancel
myDialog.destroy();
The problem is, it is not taking the value which the user selects from the dropdown and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is "2013" as both of these values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents:"2013". I have compared the coding with some other working scripts as well, but it is not working. I have added several alert boxes to check the value we get.
Also, the find and change is also not working. Please help me on this. Thanks.
Regards,
Muthuraj. DChange the order for dialogresults:
var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
ChangeRevDetails();
else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;

What happened to the listened to status display on Podcasts in IOS5?
