Varying font size based on information entered in a field

Please let me know if there is a way to adjust the font on a fillable field so that whatever is keyed in the field will fit. We can do this in Word with autofit and were hoping that there was a way to do this in Acrobat. We are using Acrobat Pro 7, but some of us have version 8.
Thanks for the help!!

******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Auto font size in form text field doesn't work
when rich text formatting is enabled
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.create a small form text field
2. set the font size to auto under properties->appearance tab
3.enable "allow rich text formatting" under options tab
4. enter text into the form
Results: the text is not scaled properly. rich formatted text has a different size than standard text.
Expected results: The text should auto size if that is what the setting says it is going to do (rich formatting or not).

  • Javascript to adjust form field font size by number of entered characters?

    I have a form field that asks for 'full name' (first, middle, last). It's posted large at the top of the form. Some people's names are short, some long.
    Is there a javascript way to adjust the font size used within a form field based on the number of characters entered into field?
    i.e. if the name entered is Joe Smith, the font size is 30pt, if it's Alexander Hamilton the font size is 20pt?
    Thanks!

    Uhm... because I never noticed that option before! hehe. Jeez.
    Gilad, thx much. That's exactly what I was looking to accomplish.
    (An aside: trying to find a specific Adobe solution or function isn't very easy. I always search the forums, the documentation, and Google before posting any question here. Seems like there are so many features in every product that change so frequently that finding even a simple answer is a challenge...)

  • Validate a field on selection screen based on value entered on anothr field

    HI,
    There is a program with some fields in selection screen in EWM. The first field is Warehouse. I need to add another field 'Entity to Dispose' in such that what ever value I enter in Warehouse field, its corresponding values should only be displayed as F4 help for 'Entity to Dispose' field.
    For eg: If I select the warehouse as 0799(lets say), then the F4 help for Entity to Dispose field should display only the values which are related to warehouse 0799 (and any other values pertaining to other warehouse should not appear).
    Could anyone suggest, how this can be achieved?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi,
    You can use FM
    DYNP_VALUES_READ
    DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE
    to read the another field value and Using that field build your internal table for f4 values.
    and use FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for F4 values..
    do this on AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR <YOUR_F4_FIELDNAME>.

  • Set font size based on component size

    Hi everybody,
    This is kind of a duplicate, kind of new, because my original post is buried and I figured out a more helpful and general way to ask this question. Does anyone know if there is a way to set the size of a string as large as possible on a component, but still be able to have the whole string visible, if you're using a font other than default?
    For example:
    public static void main( String args[] ){
    try {
              JFrame frame = new JFrame( "Title" );
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              int guiWidth = width / 2;
              int guiHeight = height / 2;
              frame.setSize( guiWidth, guiHeight );
              Container pane = frame.getContentPane();
              // Create main label
              String labelString = "Test";
              JLabel label = new JLabel( labelString );
              label.setBackground( new Color( 179, 0, 0 ) );
              label.setForeground( new Color( 235, 191, 16 ) );
              label.setHorizontalAlignment( CENTER );
              label.setOpaque( true );
              label.setFont( new Font( �Old English Text MT�, 0, 48 ) );
              pane.add( label, BorderLayout.NORTH );
              frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
              frame.setVisible( true );
    } catch( Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
         }As you can see, right now the font needs to be hard coded. I'd like it to be dynamic, based on the size of the screen the user has.
    Sorry if the partial double post annoys anybody; I figured it would be less annoying than resurrecting my old post.
    Any help on this would be great, and thank you!

  • Can one create a script to determine the filepath of a PDF based on information entered into a form?

    I work for the IT department for a medical center and we are creating signable PDF forms so that our center can move toward a paperless system.  The center uses a program to organize all of the PDF forms once they are signed, but we are wanting to make everything structured to work seamlessly with this program.  What we need to do this is that when a form is signed by a patient, a script within the PDF saves the file to a specific folder and then creates the file name based on the patient's idnumber, date of birth, and the name of the procedure the form was for (which is in the form as a drop down list).  I haven't been able to find anything on how to do anything like this, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    It has been a while since I have posted here because I have been looking into doing this using a plugin, since Actions can't be run automatically by signing or any other form trigger.  I have recently come accross folder level javascripts, though and am wondering if you guys think that would work, and if so, how could I do it?  I'm reading through a post here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript and it seems to be really close to what I need, it just isn't quite there.  My code now looks like the following, (many thanks to you guys, by the way):
    //Create the file name from text fields in the form
         //Credit to Gilad D for the first part of this script.
         var myFileName = this.getField("PATIENT_ID").valueAsString + "#" + this.getField("PATIENT_DOB_3").valueAsString + "#C#" + this.getField("PROCEDURE_NAME").valueAsString;
         //Save the file
         this.saveAs("/C/Users/ahill.CNC/Desktop/PDF test save/" + myFileName + ".pdf");
    From what I am understanding, with a folder level script, I can make a script and save it to a specific folder that Acrobat can access and I should be able to call that script from within the form.  I mainly need to know how to call the script and if there are any changes to the above script that need to be made to make it work as a folder level script, I need to know how to do that.  I'm going to continue reading up on this, but If you happen to know how to do it and are able to help me, it would be greatly appreciated.  Again, thank you guys for all the help.

  • Photoshop Elements file info font size

    The text size in Photoshop elements is rather small. By Text I mean the font size for commands.  I can live with it most of the time but when adding text to the File Info field I find it very hard to read and check spellling.  Is there any way to increase font size or magnify what one sees.  For example in Windows, Control Panel, Display I can adjust the display font size but that seems to have no effect in PE.  Any ideas?

    Yes, even if you set the UI font size to 200%, that has no effect on the font size of the Information dialog in the editor.
    My suggestion is to use the Organizer to input your information. I have set the font size in Windows (not in Elements) to 125% for my 1920 x 1200 24" display.
    It's comfortable to input file properties in the Information panel on the right. For the IPTC data, click on the icon with three dots to open the IPTC dialog.

  • Font size in text fields

    Is there a way to change the font size in a text box or text field on every webpage through one of the prefrences? I have looked on the forums here and searched Google, but could not find any answers.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    One other thought,
    You can temporarily increase/decrease the font size on any page (also, affects all pages opened in a specific tab) by Apple Key plus the + sign for an increase, or the - sign for smaller text.
    Same too can be accomplished by using the "text size" icon in the toolbar. If one is not there, go to the View Menu>Customize Address Bar, dragging the "text size" icon to the tool bar. Select "done" on the panel.

  • Manage font size conditionally

    conditional formatting :
    can we set the font size conditionally? we were able to successfully adjust the font-weight, font-style and color, but can we set the size too?
    We gave condition to few rows to be displayed in bold or italic and in the same way I know we can change the font color and background color of specific row but unable to increase the font size of that specific row only.
    Now can we change the font size of the those rows which are in bold or italic . The current font size is 7(done by increasing the field size ) and want them to be 10.
    If the same size is applied for the complete specific row that would be great or atleast to that column.
    the code used as of now is
    if?><?if@row:_saw_0_='Total Operating Expense'?><?attribute@incontext:color;'Black'?><?attribute@incontext:font-weight;'bold'?><?attribute@incontext:font-style;'italic'?><?end if?>
    Thanks
    Aj

    Add <?attribute@inline:font-size; '10pt'?>or
    use
    <fo:inline font-size="10pt"><?ELEMENT_TO_BE_DISPLAYED?></fo:inline>

  • I can't change font size. It goes only from 1 to 9 and can't enter an especific number.

    I use Mac and for the first time I face this problem... I used to be able to enter the font size lik 32, 48, 96... any number in flash CC I can't. Is there any way I can change this? I looked in preferences and found nothing!

    Hi Agda,
    This is a truncation issue which we are investigating, however the functionality should work as expected as the size filed still has the information that you have entered say if you enter 12 you might see only 1 in properties panel whereas it has the value of 12 and your text on stage should get applied with 12 pt size.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!
