Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

Multi Line Text Custom Field

Multi line text custom field is not coming in ms project Professional

Pradeep,
You cannot access Multiline text fields from Project Professional and in Project Server Views. These fields are for use in Project Details pages and with workflow for demand management in Project Server. Please refer to the article shared in earlier post.
I would recommend you to create a Excel/SSRS report if you would like to show data available in this fields to end users.
Hope this helps.

Printing all text in a multi-line text field?? Can it be done?

I was wondering if there is a way to print out a multi-line field and have all text entered print as well. Currently, anytime someone enters more information in a multi-line text field on our form than is set to show without scrolling, when a PDF is created for printing from the results page, only the text that fits within the specified size prints. You can scroll within the PDF and read it all, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all of the text to show and have that field resize accordingly on the printed copy.
Is there a way? Thanks.

Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters? Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

How to determine the length of a line of text in a multi line text control

I am working on a simple widget to compare two snippets of text. The string controls are side by side with a colum of square bools in between
the two string controls.
The Bools line up with the lines of text in each string control. The Bools are used as a quick indicator that at that line point there is a difference
between the two string controls.
There is a slider that allows the user to scroll up and down, the slider scrolls both string controls simutaneously.
As the string controls are scrolled I will be comparing the left and right lines of text and reflecting the match status in the Bool Colum.
The reason I need to know the length of the line of text is so each line can be compared against one another. It is not as simple as counting the
col width of the string control and parsing the text because if there is a line return the text will word wrap before before it extends all the way accross the string control, which will cause parsing discrepencies.
Any suggestions on obtaining the multi line string control text character length would be much appreciated.
Best Regards
Tim C.

New lines created in excel when displaying multi-line text item value

Hi all,
I put the value of a multi-line text-item into a csv file :
DECLARE
file_filter VARCHAR2(256) := 'Export Files (*.csv)/*.csv/All Files (*.*)/*.*/';
fExp VARCHAR2(256);
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
fExp := get_file_name ( directory_name, file_name, file_filter, NULL, SAVE_FILE, TRUE);
IF fExp IS NOT NULL
THEN
set_application_property(cursor_style,'BUSY');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen( fExp, 'W');
linebuf := NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_TRAITE,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.NUM_ANFR_ID,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.ver_fiche,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.titre,'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_creat, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_valide, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_STATUT,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.label_reg,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.prenom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom_societe,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.comp_bnc,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.motifs,'') || ';' ;
Text_IO.Put_Line( in_file, linebuf);
Text_IO.Fclose( in_file);
set_application_property(cursor_style,'DEFAULT');
END IF;
END;
And when I opened the csv file then the remaining lines , that is from the second line , of the column "motifs" are displayed through the column A of excel. The "motifs" multi-line text-item has 500 as its Maximum Length property value, and has a Char Data Type property value.
So how to display all the motifs' lines through the same column M without displaying the remaining lines in column A ?
Or are there tips to remove CHR(13) characters from a multi-line text-item ?
Thank you very much indeed.

How do I center a text field when input can be single or multi-line?

I'm creating a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and have almost everything the way I want it. One of my last problems is trying to get a text in a text field centered. The input is sometimes a single line and sometimes multi-line. If I set it up so the multi-line entries are centered, then the single line looks off ... and vice versa. Is there any way to have the text automatically centered in the text field regardless of whether it's single or multi-line?

Unfortunately, there's no way to set up a field so that the text is guaranteed to be vertically centered in both cases. If you set it up so that rich text formatting is enabled, it's possible for a user to vertically center, but it's not something you can preconfigure so that it will remain in effect when the field is cleared. For a user to do this, with the focus set to the field they'd have to display the Properties toolbar (Ctrl+E), click the "More..." > Paragraph > Alignment > Text Middle [button]

Why is the multi-line option not allowed in my text fields? Acrobat X Pro

I have created a form in which I wish to make mulit-line fields. To create the original fields, I used auto field detect, then copied and pasted them to repeat in a chart. None of these fields allow me to select the multi-line and scroll text options I need (including the first auto-detected ones). When I draw a new field, it allows me to apply multi-line and scroll text. Any idea whay these first fields arent allowing the same? thanks!

ah! found it - the option for Comb of Characters was checked, thus greying out the other options. Thanks anyway!

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field.

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field. The options for the text-field only show a font size option, but no other styling options. Is there a way to format the leading? Thanks!

Not within ID, and I'm not sure it can be done in Acrobat afterward either.

Enter Text in Multi Line TextBox and New Lines

Hi Guys,
I have a form that takes a users input and saves to an access
database.
The data is in turn drawn by a recordset and displayed on an
ASP page using VBS.
The form that takes the info has 1 textbox thats multi line
and I want it to be a simple input box except when the user adds a
line break by hitting return I want this to be reflected when the
record is drawn to the detais page..
Just now no matter how many times I hit return key when
typing in the multi line text box and add paragraphs or simple
sentances they all come out with no line breaks on the page when
shown???
Do I have to make my own rich text box editor? or is there
something Im missing?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

InterAKT was acquired by Adobe in September and most of its

were discontinued. The full version of KTML is now part of
the
Kollection suite.
The solution to your problem is very simple, though. I'm
sorry I can't
give you the exact coding, because I haven't used ASP for
many years.
However, all that you need to do is to create a function that
searches a
string for new line characters and replaces them with
<br> (or <br />
for XHTML).
PHP has a built-in function (nl2br()) to do this, but in ASP
you need to
search for the new line character code.

Use a TextArea control? Or does this not meet your needs?

How do I create a multi-line text box?

I have a PDF that was tradionally printed and filled out by hand, and am trying to convert to an e-version.
Everything is working great but I can't figure out how to make this one thing work. For example I have a section like this:
More Info: _______________
How can I make it so when one starts typing in the "More Info" section, their response continues from the 1st line to the 2nd, to the 3rd, etc.?

You can set a text field to be multi-line and tick off the option to scroll
long text to have it automatically wrap, but you'll have a problem with the
first partial line, since form fields can only be rectangular. Another
problem might be the lines themselves, since you'll have to use a font size
that will fit them exactly, or it will look odd. I would suggest getting
rid of those lines altogether. They are not needed when filling in the form
electronically. It's a relic from printed out forms where people had to
hand-write their answers.
