Automatic text in the fields?

I'm new to Acrobat X but use Acrobat since v4 (bought in July 1999). Older versions of Acrobat has allowed the fields of screens to have the text of variable size; If a user wrote that would fit in the original size, the form field would automatically decrease the text to fit.

I can't find this feature in Acrobat X but _really_ need a medical form complex I've created.

Help!

Best wishes

    - Selecting text on a webpage immediately copies the selected text to the findbar and searches for it

  • How to change the size of text in the fields to fill?

    Please let me know how change the size of text in the fields to fill?

    Hey Swan, laken59599864

    It is not possible to change anything in the PDF with Adobe Reader.

    You may need to open the PDF with Adobe Acrobat and choose "tools > forms > edit ' and double-click on a text field to view its properties. Click on the appearance tab, and then change the font size as you wish.

    Hope this is useful.

  • Acrobat 9 - Filliable text in the fields does not.

    We have to fill a form that we send to clients for donation requests. We recently received one that looked empty, so we had the customer fill it again. He came in a vacuum again even if the customer said they could see the text in the fields. I have opened the form to fill out and when I click in the field, he text appears but when I tab to the next field, it disappears and only shows the text in the current field. I looked everywhere but can't find an answer. It is as if it does not appear when you click in this field. Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

  • Automatic filling of the field Date in the text field to the Format YYMMDD

    Hello

    I need to automatically populate a text field with a date that is entered in a date field. I was able to do this, but I couldn't find a way to have him fit in the text as YYMMDD field (with no spaces, dashes, etc) instead of "MM/DD/YY" as it is displayed in the date field.

    Could someone help me with the right code?

    I don't know if it's the best option, but here is a workaround...

    using formcalc you can format your date fields

    var format = Num2Date (myDate, "YYYY-MM-DD")

    TextField2.rawValue = format

  • Automatic text in the form resizing does not work

    I've recreated just a form to fill in Acrobat Pro ms. In the past, I was able to have the police automatic resizing if the information is too long for the size of the test to white. I have the font size set to "auto", but it does not automatically resize when filling in text as it was in previous versions. Is there something else I should do to get there?

    Thank you!

    You must make sure that the option "Allow formatting rich text" under Properties - Options is disabled.

  • How can I change the size of the text in a PDF fillable on-screen when there isn't any text in the field?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.

    I have a fillable PDF information are concluded. There is a field that is just a big box and there are names that fall into this box that are stacked one under the other. For now, he'll let me only add 4 names, then it deletes the name of 5th. I need to be able to see that all the 5 names stacked under the other.

  • How to get forms to ignore the default text in the fields during the validation of LiveCycle Designer

    Hiya,

    I'm test ss4 Designer to create a simple form that is submitted by e-mail.

    Everything works except for my text boxes...  They are implemented in the form of required fields, but because I've included the text by default with the instructions, if you press on submit without changing the fields, they will not validate as empty and does not throw an error message.

    I searched the forums all day for a fix, but I'm too new to understand where to put the code, etc.  I tried to add

    ' text {! = placeholder}' in the validation box but model that does not work...

    All I have is LiveCycle Designer and I'm on windows 7.  Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    There is a script editor.  If you select the field, then you will be able to select the event in the 'Show' taking place (above the 'Design' tab), and then the code window will be active and you can enter your code.  You can extend the default value of a single line.

    Good luck

  • How to add text to the field "Notes"?

    Hi I am working on a script decom our Vm.  I want the script to stop the guest operating system (easy), and then add the text that's already in the remarks section of the VM to tell the date and Decom. Then move the virtual computer in our folder Decom.

    How to make the most of this, I worked, but what I can't find is it possible to change the field "Notes" of a virtual computer?  I found in Set - VM, there is the Description field we used to use, but once when we have improved our VC we lost all the descriptions, so we started to move everything in the 'Notes' field instead.  Should perhaps use us description instead of Notes field?  I've always been a little confused why VMware had them both there because they seem to do the same thing...

    Thanks for the help guys...

    Packetboy.

    You can do this way:

    $vm = 
    $note = (Get-VM $vm).Description
    $note += " appended text"
    set-vm $vm -Description $note -Confirm:$false
    
  • Change the size of the text in the field of form (rich text formatting allowed)

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me here. I created an interactive PDF with fields in the active form with 'Rich Text Formatting'.

    My client has filled in the fields and wish to make the text bigger. Then right click, only options to change the text style (bold, italic, etc.) but nothing to change the size of the text. I'm not keen on deactivating and then reactivating the "Rich Text Formatting" options in the form of text were formatted (bold, italic, exponent, index, etc.) and approved, and this will remove any existing formatting.

    Can anyone help?

  • Copy the text in the field to other areas in the same PDF format?

    Is it possible to give the user an option to copy the text entered in certain areas to other areas in the same PDF? I want to do it is because I have the user fill in several fields of address (address, city, State, zip) and I have another section to ask a physical address (address, city, State, zip). I would like to users the ability to click on a button (?) to automically fill in the fields of physical address if the address is the same.

    Thank you

    Derek

    Here's a line of code that copies the text from the text field to the other. You can use it in the mouse event to the top of a button and add as many lines as required:

    // Copy value of one field to another
    getField("text2").value = getField("text1").valueAsString;
    

    Replace "text2" and "text1" with real field names that you use.

  • Text in the fields print vaguely, but everything else in the document prints well

    I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on a Mac. I use a black and white laser printer.

    In my work, I fill out PDF forms prepared by the federal Government.

    I can't change the forms, because they are secure.

    Fields filled in text print so low (i.e., too light, not dark) that they are difficult to read when printed.  They look not so great on the computer screen, either.

    The form itself will print very well: beautiful and dark. easy to read.

    Text using the typewriter prints fine, also.

    Acrobat does not seem to allow police in the text fields to change. It's a kind of courier, and it never changes.

    How can I get darker impressions of my entries in text field?

    Is a form available online, or you can post a sample somewhere, like Acrobat.com? If this isn't the case, I would be interested in watching a if you are free to send it to me by e-mail. My address is in my profile.

  • Unable to automatically fill in the fields that have a Global data link

    Hello

    I have a long form LCD with a button at the top that I use to fill in the form with the test data.  Then this button has a whole bunch of "rawValue = _" of statements.  But some of the fields in the form use global data binding, and the button won't just fill in these fields.  So, I always fill in these fields manually whenever I want to test.  Can someone tell me if there is a way around this?  Thanks for any help.

    Kam.

    Just figured out the answer myself.  The issue has been one of the issues being filled was a yes / no radio not button who was in command of "xfa.host.resetData" in it.  So whenever this radio button is checked, the function resetData will prepare the fields in this section, and then of course everywhere elsewhere due to binding global data.  I have removed the function resetData and the problem resolved.
