Add text to help add or change text box (typewriter tool)

This question has been posted in response to the following article: http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/Standard/using/WS2DE764BD-5706-4e3a-9360-5F2F968223AC metempsychosis.

Try to flatten the PDF. The typewriter is not part of the document, but an overlay (markup). Maybe it's your viewer (especially with MAC) cannot handle markup. If you have the player available on your system, try this.

  • Text typed with 'Add or edit text Box' (typewriter) display disappears/do

    It is a PDF file static, flat I simply want to add a few lines of text (type the information on the image of the flat 'form').  I use the tool typewriter text box and displays the typed text.  When I click on the text box, it disappears as if the text color is white.  The text is red.  When I click where it should appear, the outline of the text box appears and double-clicking it allows me to get into the mode where I can see what has been typed edition.  But when I click out of it, it is still hidden.

    Your help is appreciated!

  • Add a little height to the text box in indesign?

    Hello!

    I have a big and nice script that applies the changes of height/width of a document based on the object styles, and other settings.

    But what I really need, is a script that comes Add a little height to a text box selected. It doesn't have to rely on the object styles and should only apply to a single box.

    I learn to program, but have no knowledge in javascript so far...

    Is it possible to shoot the script under?

  • How to add a text box gradient to an image

    Rather than try to explain it that I would get help... I will attach a photo instead (lower part). How I got above a text box while she slightly superimposed on the background of an image? Thanks in advance.

    screenshot open week.jpg

    Put the gradient (I used the first transparency plan) under the text layer.

    In order to clarify the procedure:

    1. Add a layer above the image.
    2. Choose the foreground color (I've tasted blue markers in the foreground).
    3. Select the gradient tool.
    4. Look in the foreground to the transparency of the Options bar.
    5. Place the tool gradient at the bottom of the image and move about a third of the way up.
    6. Add the text on top

  • The existing letters disappear in pdf when I add the text box

    If I get letters in the text disappearing as soon as I type anything in a new text box. I have acrobat pro 8.1 Windows XI.

    My pdf document looks very good. All the text is there that's supposed to be here. I have to add areas of text on some pages, so I click "Add text", I click on any area in my document and the text box appears. As soon as I type anything at all "random" letters disappear throughout my document. I say randomly is a l e meantime, etc, but it's the same letters of the words disappear each time. A month ago, I was working on the very document that does exactly the same thing and had no trouble adding text without letters endangered.

    I've been playing with it for several hours now and I'm ready to punch a hole in the wall.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for 'all' the help (I'm kidding, of course) but I figured it out on my own.

    Tried many, many things and what has worked in the end increased the dpi of the pdf when it was created first. I'd put it at 300 dpi, which was the same default setting for all other documents I created and manipulated without a problem, but for some reason, it does not work now. I tried to 600 dpi and it is fine. All letters remain in place when I add new text boxes. Probably the other ppp settings would also work, but I have not tried.

  • Add a picture to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level

    If I want to add pictures to the location of the cursor in the text box, I need to use EditManager insertInlineGraphic. But insertInlineGraphic offers no parameter to control how an image is placed in the text, such as baselineShift.
    While InlineGraphicElement allows me to well control on image added how is placed in the text through properties such as baselineShift, but then there is no way to add this InlineGraphicElement object newly created as the location of the cursor in the text box!
    So, how do you overcome this limitation? How can I add an image to the text in the text box to the location of the cursor through Actionscript and control its reference level?

    Post edited by: DilipShah

    After you add the ILG, you can find the ILG element by textFlow.findLeaf (cursor location) as InlineGraphicElement and then change its attributes. Or you can just enjoy applyLeafFormat().

    FindLeaf is an important function for navigation in the TLF.

    The question I have is if a checkbox is disabled.

    As they clear the box my all the text box information is deleted and the customer must hit the reset button.

    How can I add the following functions? :

    1. Boxes unchecked will not all previous information text box field, it only deletes the information applied to this box.
    2. Among the boxes turned the box labled 'None' is disabled.

    Why don't simply do you some if sentences that involve all the possibilities?

    Then you can put the script on each event 'change' of checkboxes.

    (Of work but I think that you have already invested less.)

    Another solution would be to write a script on the calculate of your text box event. If the user will not be able to crush then.

    (Javascript)

    If (A.rawValue! = null)

    {this.rawValue = "Text1" ;}

    If (A.rawValue == null & B.rawValue! = null)

    {this.rawValue = "Text2" ;}

    If (A.rawValue! = null & B.rawValue! = null)

    {this.rawValue = this.rawValue + 'Text2' ;}

    If (C.rawValue! = null & (A.rawValue! = null |)) B.rawValue! (= null))

    {this.rawValue = this.rawValue + "Text3" ;}

    If (C.rawValue! = null & A.rawValue == null & B.rawValue == null)

    {this.rawValue = "Text3" ;}

    If (A.rawValue == null & B.rawValue == null & C.rawValue == null)

    {this.rawValue = null ;}

    If (A.rawValue! = null |) B.rawValue! = null | C.rawValue! = null)

    {None.rawValue = null}

    You can also put this on the change event of your boxes, simply change the 'this' in the name of your text box...

    Hope I have at least a fair bit names

    The descriptions in the text box are well sorted.

    Lisa

    Edit: looked once more to your script. The domain that generate you the scripting has a few ' # ' in its name. If the fields you the script to have too much in their name and you just demolished it it won't work. Or they will work if you simply let them.

    If they have the only solution is to rename the subforms etc.

  • Add price and display them in the dynamic text box

    Hey,.

    I have a combobox with specific prices and radio buttons I want attached according to the choice of the user. I have trouble to get the application to add the total of selections and display the total in a dynamic text box.

    I try to use global variables. I put them to a certain value depending on what is selected. At the end I put add them upward in the total variable and which corresponds to the text box named totalPrice.

    Currently, the value of global variables is not returned to their duties.

    Any suggestions for how to do this correctly?

    Thank you!

    remove these return statements, create a function that updates your textfield totalPrice and call this function of objComboListener.change after your if-else statements.

  • Browse through the pages and add the text box

    I'm trying to navigate through the pages of a document (to simplify, let's say there are 5 pages) and perform certain tasks (for simplicity, say add a text box) on each page.

    Using VBScript, my thoughts are something like:

    Define myPages = myDocument.Pages

    I have = 1

    do until I have 5 >

    myPages.Item (i). Select()

    Set myTextFrame = myDocument.ActivePage.TextFrames.Add

    myTextFrame.Contents = "Hello, World".

    i = i + 1

    loop


    should work.


    But the best I can do (when I'm not getting syntax error messages) is to get the written text several times on one page.


    I know that there is a simple solution that I'm missing.
