Using superscript in text fields?

Hi All,
Is it possible to paste text that contains superscript into text/other fields?
Thanks, Yan

Hi Yan,
You can with text fields (not sure about others) but you need to set the Field Format to rich text;
You can also enter superscript in the "Rich Text" field with ctrl-shift-plus.

Need to add superscript for text field--HELP NEEDED.

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to implement superscript and subscript text in Crystal? For example, I would like to superscript the portion (1) of the following string:
"Buy(1) or Sell(1)"
The only way I have found to do this is to put the "235" in a separate text field that uses a smaller font size, and overlay it into the gap that I intentionally left in the larger text field. For display and printing purposes, this works OK, but if a report containing these strings is exported to Excel, the text fields are exported as separate cells, which makes the exported report look funny.
I can create this string in Word, then cut and paste it into a text field in Crystal (which initially seems to work), but as soon as I click off the field, all the characters in it are converted to the same font size.
If this can't be done in the current version of Crystal, are there any plans for it to be implemented in future versions?

hello all,
the text interpretation for html or rtf in fields will not render superscript or subscript. the basic rule is that whatever you can format directly in a crystal reports text object, that's what you can have interpreted.
look up "text interpretation html" in kbase for a full list.
one option is to turn html passthrough on the server in question if this is a huge deal for you...if you want instructions on how to turn html passthrough on, they are located in the webelements user guide at
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/255
after doing so, you'd drop the database field into a formula and any html in the database field would be interpreted.

Trying to use web app text field to redirect a page.

I am trying to create a web app, that will provide 'members' with a page that they can use to redirect to other pages of their choice. What I want to do is allow the member user to select (from a dropdown menu, or even input their own into a text field) a specific url (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage) on their customer page. Once they select the url they want, and save their info, that url will be used in a redirect page, (i.e. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url={tag_redirectURL}"> or something to that effect. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? Ultimately, I want the user to be able to change on the fly where someone goes when they share their user link with a friend (i.e. http://www.mywebsite.com/userpage/ will take someone to a facebook page or to a youtube video, or some other page they redirect to) so they can switch it on their own when they choose to.

Hi Scott,
You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.

Using Pantones in Text Fields

I am wondering if there is a way to have the text color of of form fields use a PMS rather than a system color. I have a client that will be making repetitive changes toa document that needs to be in a particular Pantone color.
Thanks

No way, I think. Form fields really aren't aimed at prepress.

Using variables in input text fields nested in a movieclip

Hi all,
I am designing a roulette wheel type game. I am using a variable, "_global.myMoney = 0; " to keep track of the total money the player has. When I built the prototype, I used a dynamic text field on the stage with an instance name of "myMoney_text" and a variable of "_root.myMoney"
Now, I need to move this text box into a movie clip with an instance name of "winnings_mc"
When I test the movie, it looks like it showing the style sheet (font size, font, etc...) inside the dynamic text box. If I change the variable of the box to "_root.winnings_mc.myMoney" it seems to track initially, but now my updateMoney function in my main script does not work.
The function is called like this:
trace("updated money equals " + updateMoney(myMoney));
This always traces zero now, the initial value.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

if you want to use a global variable, when initializing and everytime you assign a new value, prefix the variable with _global:
_global.myMoney.
whenever you want to retrieve its value, use myMoney.
you should not be using _root.myMoney.
and as ned mentioned, you should stop using the variable associated with textfields and use the text property of your textfield to assign its text.

It possible using javascript to change the value of another jsf text field?

In my case, I have an input text field and would like to copy it's value on the onchange() event into another text field. Using the destination text field's Id and assigning some content with it's .value property

Woodstock apparently renders some Javascript/DOM with some homegrown widget framework which on its turn renders the HTML DOM tree instead of plain vanilla HTML. Correct me if I'm wrong, to confirm this, just view the generated HTML source of the page.
After some Googling I found out that you need getProps() and setProps() to get and set element attributes respectively.
[http://google.com/search?q=webuijsf+domnode+site:sun.com].
If you stucks with this, I recommend you to post this question at a forum or mailinglist devoted to Woodstock, e.g at their own homepage at dev.java.net or the Netbeans forum at nabble.com. You're here at a Sun JSF forum, not at a Woodstock forum.

Using AS3 to create a random quotes in text field

Hi,
I though this would work but unfortunately I am not pulling the txt files into the field.
It is definitley giving me random feedback.
There are ten quotes in a folder: Suzuki_quotes/quote1.txt etc
Should I not use a Dynamic Text field and create a text field using the var.
Thanks
stop();
var randomNumber:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);
var reqB:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Suzuki_quotes/quote1.txt");
var loaderB:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoadedB(event:Event):void {
    quoteLdr.text ="Suzuki_quotes/quote"+randomNumber+".txt";
loaderB.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadedB);
loaderB.load(reqB);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPage2);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPage1);
function goPage1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("page1");
function goPage2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("page2");

if you have several txt files each with one quote, try:
stop();
var randomNumber:Number = Math.ceil(Math.random()*10);
var reqB:URLRequest=new URLRequest("Suzuki_quotes/quote"+randomNumber+".txt");
var loaderB:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
function textLoadedB(event:Event):void {
    quoteLdr.text =event.target.data;
loaderB.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoadedB);
loaderB.load(reqB);
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPage2);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPage1);
function goPage1(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("page1");
function goPage2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
    gotoAndStop("page2");

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

How to use same dynamic text, multiple times in a Movie

FLASH CS5.5
How can a dynamic text field be used multiple times, on any
frame, in any new layer during a Movie?
~~
A number of unique dynamic text fields are being used.
The intent is to use them each, many times during a Movie.
(i.e. a users first name)
They are successfully being "ExternalInterfaced" from a PDF form field.
(the SWF is displayed within the PDF as a RMA)
This all works well, IF I only use one instance of the dynamic text field.
(one use of each unique text field)
If I try and use that same dynamic text field, again, in a new layer, later in the SWF,
all of that said, duplicate dynamic text fields do not display.
~~
Stumped!!!
Thanks in advance for your advice / comments!
D-

Thanks Ned,
I always welcome learning something new.
I did not know creating a new keyframe,
creates a new instance.
Yes, I had used the same dynamic text field instance name in
numerous, new layers (great observation).
With the objective to display the User's name throughout
the timeline (on and off)...
I'll attempt to paraphrase your solution;
Use a single layer to display the dynamic text field.
Extend this layer's timeline throughout the movie, or end use of the dynamic text field.
Help with this one ??
Set the visible properties to true or false as need through out the timeline.
( Does require an AS3 ? )
I'll give that a try.....
~~
Side of effect of using the above solution;
The SWF in it's attempted state, uses the dynamic text field instance, in
different places, different text sizes, on the stage, throughout the Movie.
(i.e. the User's first name appears in different sentences...)
Per the solution above,
I believe I will be limited to One location, one format setting.
Is this assumption correct?
I can make this work from a display / Movie point of view.
However, your first VAR concept, noted above, might be
worth exploring should more flexibility be required.
Thanks for making the time to coach...

How do I get specific font to ALWAYS appear in text field whether user has font on computer or not?

I am designing a simple form to be used as template for OTHER people to type up room signs. We would like the signs to be in a specific font that is not generally loaded on the average computer, and we do not want to have to distribute fonts to a gazillion people. My thought was to create a LiveCycle from, whereby the room user could type their name and title in the text fields on the form, and in theory, it would appear in the font I chose for the text field. I have tried various things, but it always gets substituted by the user's computer.
Tried: Choosing "rich text" for field format in Object palette; choosing "Embed fonts" in "Save Options"; tried static form, tried dynamic form. It could be that my test user has such an old version of Reader that it just CANNOT work.
Thanks!

The restrictions are listed as "normal." And it does appear as embedded when I go to the document properties, though it didn't until I used it for the text on the form (as apposed to just using in the text fields.) And when another user opens the form, the text appears in the specified font, but once they type in the text field, it defaults to different font.
BTW, it is an Open Type Font, if that makes any difference.

Professional 8 - Can't Get Rid of Tab Number In Text Field

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this issue - when I create a text field on a PDF document and type text in the field, a "1" appears in the upper left hand corner (it's enclosed in a little black bordered box). If it was only in the PDF file itself I could deal with it, but unfortunately it shows when I print the document too. I've got some advice that it's the Tab function in Professional 8, but when I look for a way of turning it off or at least preventing it from showing up in the print, I can't find anything that works. Adobe support has been no help, there still "looking into it". I was hoping that perhaps someone has had a similar situation and could shed some light?.....
Thanks!,

Hello Bernd,
I've attached an example of what's happening though I don't know if you'll be able to view the "1" in the upper left hand corner of the Text Field unless you have similar settings in Professional 8 (just a guessbecause Tech Support at Adobe couldn't see it so I sent a screen shot as well), so I've also attached a screen shot of the bottom of the document where the Text Field is showing the "1" in the corner.
Things I've tried from suggestions made:
1) You have a tab order in your form turned ON. This is a standard feature of Adobe Acrobat. This is the only way Acrobat will display little numbers in the left-hand corner of the text field. However, tab order should not be visible during printing or entering data. These numbers are only displayed while editing form fields using "Form > Edit Fields in Acrobat...." - (Which I didn't use to create the Text Field, I used "Tools", "Forms", "Text Field Tool")
2) "Print" dialog. Select "Document" under "Comments and Forms" pull-down menu to avoid printing any markup or comments.
I suspect that tab order might get printed for some reason you select anything else besides "Document". - (I've tried everything is this menu)
3) 1. Open your PDF form.

I have created an editable PDF via Adobe Indesign. When I open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, is there a way to specify a font style? Or is there a way in InDesign to make sure when someone type in that text field it is a certain font?

I need to make sure the text that is entered is a certain font to keep it continuous with the rest of the document. Thank you!

To go into form editing mode, select "Prepare Form" in the right hand pane. You'll then get a toolbar along the top that contains the various form-related tools. The first thing to do is add a temporary button. You'll use this to determine the name of the font for use with the script as well as place the script that will change the font properties of the text fields. So create a button anywhere, double-click it to bring up the field properties dialog, and on the Actions tab add a JavaScript action to the Mouse Up event that is:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
app.alert(event.target.textFont);
On the Appearance tab, select the font that you want to use for the text fields. Once you've done that, close form editing mode and click the button. It will display a popup that will list the font name. This may be different than the name that appeared in the dropdown on the appearance tab, so write it down. For example, when I chose "Minion Pro" from the dropdown, the popup showed "MinionPro-Regular".
The next step is to replace that Mouse Up script with the following:
// Mouse Up script for temporary button
// Change the font and font size for all text field in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = "MinionPro-Regular";
        f.textSize = 9;
Replace "MinionPro-Regular" with the font name that you wrote down before and set the font size to whatever you want. Use 0 to specify a font size of "Auto".
This script will change the font of all text fields to whatever you specify. When you've confirmed that the text fields are set up as you want, you can go ahead and delete or hide the button. If you think you'll be doing a lot of forms work, you can create custom tools in Acrobat to speed up this process, but this should get you started. InDesign won't let you specify a lot of field properties and actions, so you have to work this way, and using automation scripts is an accessible way to significantly speed up the process and avoid mistakes.

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:

<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>

<cfpdf action = "write"
       destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
       source = "#pdfPathFile#"
       flatten = "yes"
       overwrite = "yes" />

<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
Cheers.

Counting Instances In a Text Field

I have an applet that contains 2 textfields. One text field contains any text that you care to paste or type in it. Using the other text field you type in a string that will then search the other text field and count the number of same occurences. This data is dynamically updated.
What would be the best way to implement this? Would I create a Char array out of each text field and then compare the two arrays to find the occurences? How would I create a char array out of a text field?
Thank you

How to use an dynamic text from Flash in FlashBuilder with swf ?

Hello,
i'm trying to develop a game in flex builder and i got a problem with the dymanic text i've imported from flash. I want to insert a scoreboard in my application and for doing that i should use dynamic text in flash. I create a dynamic text in flash and then a import it to Flash Builder in a movie clip, and i called the dynamic text "Score". Now i've tried to use the "Score" variable to change the value of the dynamic text box un my flash builder application, but it doesn't change anything.
I read somewhere that i've got to use the score.text value to change the number of my score but that doesn't works because Flash Builder tells me that this sort of variable don't contain the .text value.
Thank you for trying to help me.
bye.
