• EasySign: what I can or cannot change the fields to fill?

  Is it just me, or is Acrobat EchoSign a hostile user to the garbage piece? I use reader 10.1.3. This is a form that I would complete and perhaps 'sign' with a TIFF of my signature, but first I have to type in some areas. Arrived at this point took me 20 minutes this morning:

  

  (Sorry for the fur JPEG;) Forums Adobe informed me passively after that I tried to save three no-anti-aliasing 'content types' that he would only accept JPEG format.)

  If you examine the name under the section 'INFO' field, you will see three blue spots reflecting three multiple selections no region of text boxes in the list to the right. These objects are the result of my patiently left click the i-beam on my name in order to change the text that I entered in each field. Whenever I did, I would like to briefly see a blip appear under the i-beam, but he would not let me change my text. The blip, of course, was a text box of length zero being created. I persisted because at some point given, I swear I saw an arrow icon and it let me do a selection in blue on a parcel of my text, but then for some reason any when I typed nothing happened, then the apparition disappeared and I couldn't repeat it. And it is only after a few minutes, when I started to play with a right click on a text field, I discovered the "list of comments" so needless of me in frustration.

  There are now dozens of these mini boxes everywhere in the sheet (just look at how the "list of comments" has 86 entries instead of the 12 that actually contain text). But it means I can't change something when I finished a text, isn't it? If so, why not? Why is he not clear for me, a sophisticated user? Why the bizarre and unpredictable behavior? Or I'm a sort of silly, not having found the correct incantation? Maybe an Adobe firewing priestly programmers or myriads now will enlighten us all, tacitly suggesting that it's just my stupidity, because they knew the blessed Secret their first time.

  I have fairly exhaustive sought a solution to this and have so far found nothing, but maybe it's because I've budgeted only 45 minutes for this potential simple task. Am I'll have to check out this file in Illustrator, or print it out and post it?

  Twenty years ago, I was probably the first or second person outside mountain view to show the alpha of the carousel. Since that time - and despite having occupied hope repeatedly - I still can't easily fill a document online without heartache. Why can't I edit a field? What I have to do when I want to edit a multi-line field? My workaround over the years have range from every possible thing you can imagine, the scan in Photoshop or Illustrator, Quark or InDesign; in the fields of the blind and double-exposures on a printer laser. the glue; even to hack the fields the PostScript with setfonts and the movetos shows.

  I spent 40 years in the graphic arts; half of them I've struggled with Acrobat, on some products work quite complex with the features of questionable when delivery shoehorned in PDF format. When it comes to simple single-page monochrome form letter/A4 - the portable document more abundant on earth - we are now in Acrobat v10 and all I want to do is easily a form, sign and return by email and I still can't.

  Why is life so much harder now than when I could run that through a typewriter, Adobe? What you really do about it for billions? How much more precious moments of our lives that you're going to waste?

  (P.S. What difference is almost a day: hours after this - and just before submitting this article - I myself have discovered the cast with a few minutes more far experiments most already spent. Now, I can recreate the arrow and change the field. It's really not hard, but it's far from clear is the furthest thing of the good technique of the user interface. However, I know now the blessed Secret, or at least a part of it. But it does not change my position above. You can guess why, O Adobe priesthood of unbearable preachy? If it takes a programmer experienced hours to learn the combination, what makes you think to Grandma and Grandpa never go figure?)

  I have to say that a large part of the problem is due to the agency providing the form. This would have worked much better if they had taken the time to add real interactive form fields so that you wouldn't have to worry about the typewriter tool. It's actually good that Adobe provides that as an option of last resort for PDF files that look like forms. It of a little silly to provide a PDF of a form and makes it not to fill, especially since it's possible since Acrobat/Reader 3. This particular form would be easy to implement with fields.

  Regarding the file TIFF is not not qualify, it is worth looking at in more. Consider filing a bug report.

• InDesign CC: Text in editable text fields in the process of disappearance after export

  Hello

  I'm having a problem of text of text editable in endangered fields after you export the document as an interactive pdf. I created the text that should be editable in acrobat with InDesign CC. Thus, for example, I want to have a field editable text that said "I am Marie." I want users to have the ability to change from "Married" to "Tom" or "Ben" in Acrobat. So the pdf should have a form of editable text, saying the phrase "I am Mary" when users open the PDF in Acrobat. However, aafter export, the remains of fields of text, but the text itself "I am Mary." disappeared. I do not understand why this is happening because the text is there when you preview in the Preview SWF window in InDesign.

  Here it is the list of steps in my work.

  
  

  STEP 1: Create some texts (for example, m with the tool text frame in InDesign CC )

  
  

  STEP 2: Click with the right button on the image and click on "Interactive > convert to text field»

  OR

  STEP 2: Select the block of text, open the window "buttons and forms" and change the type as "text field"

  
  

  STEP 3:  Export the document as an interactive pdf. The parameter is set by default.

  
  

  Result: When I open the PDF in Acrobat, the text field is there, but it is empty.

  
  

  Please help me solve this problem. I know this is possible because a person in front of me in my work.

  Thank you!

  As far as I know, to have a form pre-filled text [I am Marie] appear in the text field, you must set the default value of the text field in Acrobat. You can do this by selecting the field property > Options > Default Value

• The XI of Acrobat text field properties dialog box

  There must be a simple answer...

  When I select 'properties' for a field, the dialog boxes displayed are very large.

  Specifically for the 'format' tab, the dialog box is great, that I don't see the bottom of things, so I can't close and change the formatting.

  I don't see any way to make these elements of smaller display property
  

  Fixed

  On the main screen of Acrobat, choose Edition > Preferences > general and select 'System' of 'grid of the screen resolution.

• Color of text field properties fill does not

  With the help of Acrobat 11.0.03 on a Mac:

  I'm creating a form for a client and we would like the grey background on one of the fields to indicate to their clients that they do not need to fill that (but the client would like to have always as a modifiable for their use text box). I entered in the properties box, click on the fill, selected color the color I want, turned off the coast of the transparent box, but when I close on the color picker, nothing happens.

  

  I tried several times, tried to change the color of the border instead, closed on editing the form and returned it, close the document, restarted Acrobat, and nothing seems to work yet. I know that I could go back into InDesign (where I created the original document) and that make a gray box, but I would rather try to understand why it does not work as it should (and previously).

  Any suggestings or is it possibly a bug? Thanks for your time!

  Several people have reported this kind of thing, so it could very well be a bug and you should consider reports. In the meantime, what happens if you try to set the color using JavaScript? For example, to add a temporary and defined button mouse Up JavaScript as follows:

  Mouse upwards to button script

  getField("Repair_Tracking_#").fillColor = color.ltGray;

• Cannot change some css properties

  So I'm pretty new on adobe and it is this problem that I can't fix.
  Even my classmates can't solve this

  I have therefore a text where I change the cursor to a pointer property. but on a click event I want to go back to it's standard.

  but it seems to me to not get operating the $ and getSymbol (s). so I continue to spoil.

  If the text is on the scene in a symbol called header.
  In the symbol called header, there are another symbol called btnBlender.
  in this symbol is the text (labeled as Text5) where I changed the cursor property.

• PE 9-cannot change text-keep existing add new text layer

  Hello

  I'm trying to re - edit text in a .psd file.  I tried:

  • Select the layer on the text
  • Select the text tool

  According to all forum messages/help videos I watched, I thought I was supposed to be able to change the text this elsewhere, but all that happens is that it allows me to add a new text layer.  I'm sorry if the answer to that has already been posted, but I could not find.  I appreciate all help.

  Lori

  I think that I finally thought to it! The layer has been simplified, because there is no "T" in the text icon in the layers panel.  I don't remember to simplify, but somehow I must have.  I tried to create a new text box, and of course, even after it hit the green check mark to accept all of the settings I've chosen initially, I could go back and change it.  A disappointment, because now I need to go back and understand exactly how I had it before, but at least the mystery is solved.  Thanks for the suggestions.

• Cannot change text layers different justifications

  Hello

  
  I have a script in which I add 2 text layers, and on one of them, I want the justification to be right and the other on the left. I must be missing something really simple because everything I try gives them both have the same justification. Help appreciated!

  (some vars are not here because they are part of other codes, but they all work. The problem is just justification)

  var curProj = app.project;
  var comp = curProj.items.addComp("My Comp", width, height, 1, time, rate);
  
         var textLeft = comp.layers.addText(leftSide);
         var textProp = textLeft.property("Source Text");
         var textSettings = textProp.value;
         textSettings.fillColor = [r, g, b];
         textSettings.justification = ParagraphJustification.RIGHT_JUSTIFY;
         textSettings.fontSize = 72;
         textSettings.font = realFontValues[fontInput.selection.index];
         textProp.setValue(textSettings);
         
         var textRight = comp.layers.addText(rightSide);
         var textPropTwo = textRight.property("Source Text");
         var documentSettings = textPropTwo.value;
         documentSettings.fillColor = [r, g, b];
         documentSettings.justification = ParagraphJustification.LEFT_JUSTIFY;
         documentSettings.fontSize = 72;
         documentSettings.font = realFontValues[fontInput.selection.index];
         textPropTwo.setValue(documentSettings);
  

  -Nate

  There is a bug in After Effects, where the justification always returns left when the value by a script if the last character in text is a space or return character. Difficult to know if it is the problem of the info you gave, but it's the only question I know associated justification if your code is otherwise works as expected.

  The workaround for this is to set justification when the text is set on something more regular, and then modify the text as a separate after process.

• Calculate my text field properties does not work.

  Why this feature could stop working? I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat 9 and reinstalled twice now and still not get this to work.

  Can you give us some information? What exactly you are trying to do, and what are the results?

  In addition, Acrobat 9 is quite an old version and is not compatible with the new operating systems (like Windows 8 and 10).

• Cannot change the name of the file in the file properties.

  Original title: Cannot change the file properties

  Some downloaded files have a value in the box "title" under the details (after clicking Properties)
  I can't remove this 'title' and it appears so when I share the file on my network.
  The file is located on a portable hard drive, but I tried to move some files from problem to my office to see if I could solve these problems there, but nothing has worked.

  I already have
  -taking possession of the object
  -allows full control for all users
  -tried to use the "attrib - r + s' function
  -among other...

  I just want to know if there is a way to change the details of the file. On another windows help page it says something along the lines of "some attributes cannot be changed" I hope this isn't the case.

  Any help at all would be great, if no additional information is needed let me know.
  Thank you

  This information is set when the file is created.  Windows has no native ability to change.  You need a third party program.  For example, see link below.  Note that I have no idea if it's any good or works in Windows 7.  Gives you the link just to get an example of what to look for.

• Text field to avoid tab in the label

  Is there a way to avoid the tab in a label.
  I have several text fields with as 'necessary with Help' and the user would like to tab through the text field without having to tab out of the label.
  
  Is this possible.
  Using Apex 3.2.
  Thank you

  This can be controlled using the HTML tabindex attribute. See + {: identifier of the thread = 1246565} + for a previous discussion on this.

  Basically, tabindex should NOT be applied to the elements of the label . However, labels of the 'Necessary with help' type, help links should be accessible via the tab does not rely on the keyboard. In this case, I would say that the user will not and it makes sense that help link receive focus before the text element, so that aid on the issue can be viewed before entering a value. If they can be convinced, then set the tabindex property for items of text values and help links label sequenced so that items are available before the help links.

• Disabled pasting into a text field

  I have created a PDF form and I'm wanting to prevent the user so that they can paste text from another source in a text field on the form.  Is this possible?

  I use Acrobat Pro DC.

  Thank you.

  Script custom strike (the text field properties dialog box > courrieronglet > format Custom category > typing a Script custom) can be as simple as:

  Event.RC = event.change.length<>

  The problem is if you need to do for fields that use one of the categories (for example, number, or Date) built-in formatting, it gets complicated.
