Users are adding text boxes and not typing in form fields.

I have created forms for a client to use as grade school report cards. Some of the teachers are having issues because they are not clicking on the form fields to add information. They are actually creating and editing their own text boxes. The instructions to click on the form field and type do not seem to be working. Any suggestions?

You can use standard password security to allow form filling but disallow commenting, which includes adding text boxes.

  • Is there a way to have 2 or more text boxes and not have them cancel each other out?

    In the past you could overlap text boxes, but now when I place a text box to close to another it will completely make the other disappear.  Is there something I need to change in my pages setting to allow this function, or do I just need to use the iWork 09?

    ANSWER: 
    -click "Format" (the paint brush on the top right hand side of the window)
    -click "Arrange" (3rd box on the top right hand side of the window)
    -Under "Text Wrap" you will see a drop down menu that defaults to "Automatic"
    -click "Automatic" and select "None"
    You will have to do this for each text box.  Once thats done you can move the boxes as close as you want.

  • Starting with version 32.0 of Firefox, 1Password text boxes do not show the typed text.

    The 1Password plugin for Firefox prompts users to enter new passwords as they are created. Starting with version 32, however, the text box still appears, but no cursor appears in the text box, and no type is visible as I type. The typed entry is posted to 1Password, but it must be checked to ensure that there were no typos (since the type was not visible as it was entered). Is there a fix for this "invisible type" problem?

    I appreciate your response, but 1Password has no new release that might solve the problem -- a problem, to be honest, that I don't think is theirs.
    Firefox has become increasingly prone to rendering errors, and this may be just another one. Sites that display properly in Safari and Chrome are a mess in Firefox, and every day brings me closer to switching to another browser.
    Whether there's code specific to Firefox that developers, because of Firefox's declining popularity, aren't including or Firefox isn't incorporating the latest standards, I don't know. But I do know that I now need to open other browsers throughout the day because Firefox is no longer the reliable resource it once was.

  • Timing of text box will not appear.  My text boxes stop working on slide 5 and they will not work for the remainder of the slide show.

    Timing of text box not working.  I get the first few slides to work and then on slide 5 my text boxes will not appear.  And they do not appear for the rest of the slide show.   Help anyone.

    Text caption is timed to appear at 2 seconds, but you have a click box at 0sec. Its duration is very short, which means that I cannot see if there is a pause. I suspect this click box is pausing at the end of its timeline, which is at 0.3secs and the Text caption at 2 seconds will not appear before the user has clicked on that click box. The timeline is the core of Captivate, learn at least how to read it.
    Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog
    If you want the green text caption 'Click on...' to appear right at the beginning of the slide, you have to check its Timing accordion: set it to start at 0 secs instead of 2 secs and extend its duration to the 'rest of the slide'.
    I don't know what is in the Group. That group and the HIghlight box will disappear at 3 seconds. Or maybe the action that is triggered by the Clickbox is different from 'Continue'?

    I typed in data into the highlighted text box, and then tried to print my form.  However, when printed, the copy only showed a portion of my answer.  Is there a way to expand Adobe Reader's highlighted text to show my full response, or should I make my responses only as long as the highlighted portion allows?

    While printing any pdf file it will print the visible text only. To overcome this, the form needs to be dynamic so that it expands in layout while entering more data. Usually dynamic forms are developed by Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

  • How do I create text flow in Pages 5.1 if text boxes do not link?

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there any way Pages 5.1 enables text to flow between text boxes if the text boxes do not link? Thanks!

    Like I said, Peter, new to the forum. As for the app store I assumed the new version would, if anything, enhance the functionality of older versions. I obviously made the wrong assumption, both there and thinking that Apple might be paying attention to what is going on here. If I seem upset, it's because I just spent a bunch of money on a new system and am slowly discovering the many small ways in which Apple's software (and hardware) is being dumbed down. Seems like now that Jobs is gone and Apple's stock is through the roof, the cost-cutter... I mean stock-inflators are calling the shots.

  • I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics.  When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document.  What happened, and how do I fix

    Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

  • Linked text boxes and flowing text in iBooks Author

    Flowing text from 1 text box to another works perfectly and pages are automatically added when needed, but what happen if you need 2 separated flowing text boxes?
    For example one with italian text on the left side and one for english on the right side of the same page?
    No way to have 2 flowing text box on the same page!!
    Because of the tag "body", you can use it only once in the page! No other tags "body2", or "bodyITA" can be added to create a parallel flowing box text on the same page.
    Somebody has an idea for that.
    Of course the only possible solution at the moment is create in sequence: Flowing Italian text and, at the end of italian add the english flowing text.....This is a touch books about a museum and people around the wordl need to see immediately the text without foldin pages with another language to reach the correct one!
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    I apologize for my bad english.

  • Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

    Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
    air for android only work with AS3,
    the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
    have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
    Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
    (it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
    Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
    stop();
    onEnterFrame = function () {
        submit.onRelease = function() {
            switch (yourname.text) {
            case "name1" :
                gotoAndStop(2);
                break;
            case "name2" :
                gotoAndStop(3);
                break;
    My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
    My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
    Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

    you should use the default option in the switch statement
    that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
    function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                                  switch (yourname.text)
                                            case "name1":
                                                      gotoAndStop(2);
                                                      break;
                                            case "name2":
                                                      gotoAndStop(3);
                                                      break;
                                            default:
                                                      goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                            break;

  • Converting images that include text boxes and callouts in FM

    Hello,
    I'm on a new project (TCS 3.5, RH 9, FM 10) that requires me to include text boxes and lines (callouts) on top / in front of many of the images in FM. The reason they are not allowing me to add the text/callouts to the images themselves is because they want to keep the text boxes editable for translation.
    The problem: After importing into RH, these images have white borders on all sides that they didn't have previously and I can't figure out what's causing it.
    When I remove the text/callouts from over the images in question, then reimport, the problem resolves and the white borders disappear. When I view the original image files, there are no borders present. After I import, I view the image file in the RH folder and it does include the border. (So the border is on the image itself.)
    Presently, the Object Properties for the images are as follows:
    Offset From:
    Top: 0.0"
    Left: 0.0"
    Border Width: 0.015 (which is lowest FM allows me to set... I get an error message when I try to enter 0.0)
    Anchored Frame settings:
    Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
    Alignment: Left
    Cropped/Floating: both unchecked
    I've tried many different variations and tests; probably too many to list here. In short, the "border" appears when there is text/callouts on the image and it disappears when I delete the text/callouts. I was hoping that someone may have had a similar issue. Please let me know if you need more info to troubleshoot and thanks for reading.
    Best,
    Tom

    I had the same problem with callouts, but my solution was to add them directly to the image, so that doesn't help you.
    Another things you can try to is ensure that the edges of the image do not touch the edges of the anchored frame. Make sure there is a bit of white space. I don't know why, but when any of my images touch the anchored frame, the conversion looks awful.
    Also, my images appeared best in Robohelp when I set the properties for the image in Robohelp as follows:
    File > Project Settings
    Import tab
    Edit conversion settings for FrameMaker documents
    On the left side, select Image
    Set Width and Height to 0pt (this ensures that the image is not resized)

  • Convert PDF to Word - Tables are in Text Boxes using Acrobat 11. How can this be avoided?

    Hello All,
    I am using Acrobat 11 to convert PDF's to MS Word .doc or .docx. The tables are converted correctly but they are inside Text Boxes. My documents have hundreds of tables and I cant manually remove the text boxes.
    Is there a way to remove the Text Box that contains each table?
    Regards Paul

    Hello Anubha,
    My apologies.  Hopefully you can see the table is inside a text box. The Acrobat 7 doesn't behave like this, nor do some of the other PDF conversion products.
    In my output there is 700 pages with average of 3 tables per page. A manual workaround to get the tables out of the text boxes wouldn't be practicable.
    Can you confirm that this is not the expected behaviour. I thought I recently saw a video showing this behaviour as standard for Acrobat 11.
    Regards Paul

  • Muse CC 2014: Text box position not rendering accurately

    While trying to get into Muse CC 2014, i just did a most simple intro page for some friends who want to start their first online business.
    I am a total stickler for single pixel precision, but when i uploaded the simple design to their server, the tag line "the art of modern design" appeared about 3px to the left of where it is in my Muse project...in order to align it properly on their server, i had to move it 3px to the right in Muse and re-publish...this is obviously no solution for the me, as i shouldn't have to misalign my elements in Muse to make them align in the browser...i've tried Chrome (my default browser) and Safari, and am running the latest versions of them and OS X Mavericks.
    here is a screen-cap and zoom (with and without text-boxes and 1px rectangle selected) of my Muse UI to show where the tag line is positioned...i know you have to be a stickler for pixels to even see it, but it's part of my design style and important to me:
    Is anything known about a Muse bug that would cause this behavior, and any work-around (other than what i am doing right now)? i'd love to really get into Muse, but if this is a sign of things to come, i may have to look elsewhere...any suggestions/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Hard to tell from the screenshots. A couple nuances of text wrap that may be unexpected:
    1) If you select an item with text wrap and move it up or down in Design view, that will move the item but will not change the area that is knocked out for text wrap purposes. Thus text can overlap on object that has text wrap applied if the item has been moved up or down while in the text flow.
    2) Where an object is inserted in a flow is important. Generally it will provide the most predictable behavior if the graphic is inserted at the very start of a paragraph. If a graphic is inserted in the middle of a paragraph and text wrap is applied, exactly where the graphic will appear will be dependent on how the browser line breaks the text of the paragraph before where the graphic was inserted. A change in line breaks can result in the graphic appearing a line higher or lower in one browser versus another, since every browser has it's own text layout engine.
    Assuming neither of the 2 points above fit what you're seeing, it's probably most expedient to send us the .muse file along with a link to this thread for context at [email protected] and a note to let us know where to find the problem situation within the file so we can see the exact situation and settings for what you're encountering. If the file is larger than 20Mb you'll want to send it using a service such as Adobe Send, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc. Thanks.
