Acrobat - 'Plus' sign showing on some form fields and others don't

Hello

We have built a PDF for a customer who has a number of form fields. Some are same line but most are multiline fields. Everything works well except that on some areas, views "overflow indicator text' and on the other is not.

We cannot predict the length of the text (it will take overflow on most fields) so they need to be a fixed height. It looks like Acrobat is struggling to understand what fields have 'overflow' text and then sometimes displays the indicator and sometimes is not even if the fields themselves are identical. I know that we can stop the indicator to display in our individual preferences, but this wont be any good for the recipients that we cannot say to each user for that turn on or off.

Any guidance appreciated! Is there a way to disable this flag for end users?

Since you use Acrobat, you are more likely to get a useful response if you ask in the forum of Acrobat.

  • How to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing existing signature field

    How do to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing of signature field when creating a secure pdf document?

    You must allow commenting as well. Reader users will be able to add attachments as comments. You can also use JavaScript with Player 11 and DC to automate the process somewhat.

    If you need users of Reader in order to add attachments as Acrobat can, you need to add the right of use of file attachments, but you can't do that with Acrobat.

  • Show or hide form fields based on the selection of cfselect

    Hello

    I use ColdFusion 9 and

    I want to show/hide a form field type = checkbox if an assigned value is selected from a drop-down list, but it does not work.

    I use a javascript function.

    My question is: is there the best opportunities with ColdFusion for this or Javascript is the best solution?

    Here is my code:

    < script type = "text/javascript" >

    function show() {}

    Select var = document.getElementById('dropdownlist').selectedIndex;

    if(Select == 1) document.getElementById('area').style.display = 'block ';

    else document.getElementById('area').style.display = "none";

    }

    < /script >

    ....

    < cfquery name = "select_list" >

    Select * from table

    < / cfquery >

    < cfform name = 'form' >

    < name = 'dropdownlist' cfselect onChange = "show (); ">

    < option value = "0" > please select < / option >

    < cfloop query = "select_select_list" >

    < option value = "#select_select_list.id #" > #select_list.name # < / option >

    < / cfloop >

    < / cfselect >

    < div id = 'space' style = "display: none" >

    < cfloop query = "select_list" >

    < style tr = "display: none" >

    < td >

    < name cfinput = "SSG" type = "checkbox" value = "#select_list.id #" > #select_list.name #.

  • Order of the form fields and the name (without CB) in Email

    Hi fans of Muse.

    I have little problem set. order of fields in form of Muse and naming in the submitted e-mails.

    There is a simple form (for a subscription to the newsletter) with 3 fields (tags are off): name, surname and email address.

    Muse site is not hosted on BC and everything works fine (emails sent, name and email are delivered) except these things:

    1. the subject of the email subject is "submission of form XY. Is it possible to change the subject?

    2. in the presentation of muse, I have 1 the name field (for the first name), then a single line filed for the name field, then the email field.

    But the delivered mail reads as:

    Name: XY (First name)

    Email: email

    Custom: XY (family name)

    Is it possible to change the order and rename the fields correctly?

    Thanks in advance

    CPT Hoschi

    The label used in the enamel, is the same thing as the label used in the form of Muse, even if the label is hidden, so you can change your last label of the name "custom" for "last name" field and which should improve the email you get.

    In regard to the order of the fields in the email doesn't match not in order on the page, I think it's a bug of Muse. Muse currently generates e-mail based on the order of the fields in your form, rather than the order from top down. You should be able to affect the order of fields in the e-mail by selecting the individual form fields and choosing "send to back" or "leading" in the menu object.

  • Acrobat Pro DC missing labels for form field properties?

    Hello

    I have a client who uses Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. When she opens a form field properties, while under 'Prepare form', there seems to be some missing tabs. All she sees is General, appearance, Position and Options. She is need to use some other as Action and the Format, but they are not present (not even grey simply not there).

    While I am clear, legs in Red are those that lack us

    Acrobat Missing Tabs.JPG

    I've done the research to the best of my ability and could not find something lack of tabs or features that were not included with the Pro DC version. His colleague has Acrobat Pro 9.2 and these tabs in the properties or the gaze of two identical versions. I don't know if they are something that is not included with DC Pro or if there is something we are missing to enable them? Any help would be appreciated!

    I thank you for your help, unfortunately we could not find the option "Return to the form of Acrobat" at all, but we were able to get the other tabs.

    She informed me that she had converted to a Word Doc with this information we he converted again and opened the new PDF with Acrobat. Then he went an extra step of "Scanning" the document and we then had the additional tabs that we were missing. I think that this extra step "sweep" would have been forgotten before causing the loss of the most advanced tabs.

  • Show or hide form fields based on Department

    Hello world

    I have a large form with many fields on. I have a requirement to show/hide some of these fields, based on the Department of the user code. So a user of a particular Department would see a set of fields over only those relevant to their Department - all non-relevant fields for this Department need to be obscured.

    My first thought was to define the conditional on each field and allows you to search if the field to be displayed by checking a department-field table in the SQL database. But it would mean a blow to the database for each field, that I need to check.

    Can anyone think of a more elegant (and efficient) solution for this? I use Apex 4.2.

  • Export only some form field data

    Is it possible, using fields of form created in Acrobat Pro XI, to export only certain form field data to a worksheet while other form field data is not exported?

    And Yes, this code can be attached to a button, for example.

  • Create Acrobat with JavaScript form field and restrict numeric values only

    Hello

    I use a JavaScript loop to create a number of similar form fields. I'm trying to restrict the data entered in these fields of numbers only. I am able to validate the figures who are registered, but the fields still accept text, I don't want to. How can I make sure that text is not accepted?

    Script:

    var x 1 = 53;
    var y1 = 358;
    var x 2 = 123;
    var y2 = 340;

    for (var i = 1; i < 18; i ++) {}
    var name = "MyField" + i;
    var type = "text";
    var page = 1;
    rental var = [x 1, y1, x 2, y2];
    myField var = this.addField (name, type, page, location);
    myField.textSize = 10;
    myField.setAction ("Post", "AFRange_Validate (true, 0, true, 100) '");
    myField;
    Y1-= 18;
    Y2-= 18;
    };

    For example, if you want to display 2 digits to the right of the decimal separator with a comma of any currency symbol, thousands separator, you need to add:

    myField.setAction ('Format', ' AFNumber_Format (2, 0, 0, 0,-"\", false); ");

    myField.setAction ('Touch', ' AFNumber_Keystroke (2, 0, 0, 0,-"\", false); ");

  • You can edit a document template in your library (pdf) and retrieve previous form fields, so you don't have to start from scratch?

    I've just uploaded a pdf template in my library and spent a lot of time to fill the form fields. However, after completing the achievement, I made a misspelling on the original pdf model uplaoded. Is there a quick way to upload the document again and copy the older form of the document field so that I don't have to start from scratch?  If someone is able to inform you that would be much appreciated.

    Only if you checked create layer for the form field option when you create the document in the library. (Available only in the accounts of end superiors so that you won't)

    If you have Adobe Acrobat you can add fields from the agreement to the PDF outside eSign services.

    Or if you are using word documents, it is possible to add fields of the agreement using text tags.

    With those you can change regardless of the document and download the new copy and that the fields are already there, no need to copy or redo them.

  • Enter the text for the form field and do to repeat in the following pages

    Hi - I'm working on an interactive form of 14 pages. There are two text fields that must appear on the bottom of each page.

    Anyone know if it is possible for the user to these fields in competition once and while the text automatically repeat on the following pages?

    I create the form in InDesign CS6 (I CC, but it runs like a turtle).

    Any help much appreciated! Thank you.

    Form fields with the same name will have the same value, so just name them

    Similarly.

    Duplicate a field on several pages is easily achievable in Acrobat, by the way.

    There is a built-in function that allows you to do when you right click on a shape

    in form editing mode.

  • Need to concatenate the put date in the form field and the numeric field

    Hello

    I have a date field and a 4-digit numeric field in my form. I want to concatenate these fields in a new field in the following format: "YYYYMMDD [4-digit numeric field]."

    For example

    Date: June 4, 2015

    Number: 1234

    Concatenated field: 201506041234

    When I try to concatenate the value of date, I get the string value is entered instead of the actual date (e.g. "4 June").

    Thank you.

    OK, the script might like:

    Get the values of field as strings

    var sDate = getField("date1").valueAsString;

    Var Nums = getField("number1").valueAsString;

    Convert string to date in a date object

    Kai var = util.scand ("mm/dd/yyyy", sDate);

    Concatenate number and the date strings

    var sDateNum = util.printd ("YYYYMMDD", letter) + nes;
