Change the text in a text box with Script

Hello

I have a text box that lists the word 'English' that identifies the manual in English on the title page. I have copy and translate this manual. On the translated manuals, I want to change that "English" in the word "Spanish" or "Japanese" by using a script. What would be the right way to do it? I could do a search and replace only targeted the first page or is it possible to give a text a box identifying unique to call in the code? Should I 'script labels?

Hello

The label property depends on whether you're using CS5 or upward.

CS4 and earlier versions, just use the script label.

Select the image with the Selection tool and write the name in the Script label palette.

CS5 and until you need to select the text block, open the layers palette, find the text block, you want to quote, you will see an indication of color, then you must click on the label of on this palette and give it the desired label.

in any case, the code to use is, if you call your frame in the form "a":

myFrame = app.activeDocument.textFrames.itemByName ("a");

hope this helps

See you soon,.

  • Replace the text box with Image through breakpoints

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the text boxes and icons with images and want to know if I can do this on several break points at the same time without having to go and manually change each breakpoint.

    My site is here: Movement of Boulder

    In the Services section of the wider breakpoint, you can see the images that I want, but if you minimize the browser window, you will see the images and the text that he was supposed to replace. Is it possible to replace all the text boxes with the images you want?

    Hello griffinb,

    If you delete a breakpoint text areas, they will be removed from all.

    After you have placed your image just right-click on it and select the option ' copy the style and position > to other breakpoints.

    Let me know if you have any problems getting there.

  • How to change the text box in Acrobat XI, created by earlier versions of Acrobat

    Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to change a text box that was created in an older version of Acrobat and used to fill in a form.

    In my case, I added text boxes on text pre-existing using an earlier version of Acrobat.

    When I try to click on the text box, however, it seems to be back on the existing text and not allow me to change the text box I created in the past.

    Try changing the text with the tool 'Add comment text' which is in the notes pane. The text used to complete the form may have been written as annotation, so when you try to change those with editing tools, the original text is being edited.

    I also have the following in the Footer region region:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    x($x('P12_CHECKBOX'));

    This is just to make sure that the items are disabled when the page is loaded, because the checkbox is deactivated

  • Change the text color with the eyedropper tool

    I've seen cc Photoshop tutorials where you can change the text color by using the eyedropper tool on the color swatch Panel. When the text is selected and the color swatch Panel is open. When I chose is which color I want out the color swatch Panel all them it does to change the foreground color and return to the soil box, why it changes the color of the text, as I have seen in tutorials?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    When highlighted often is difficult to tell what color the text. You can work around this by doing the above, pressing ctrl-H or cmd - H on the keyboard and the highlight will be removed, but the text remains selected. Its exactly the same procedure that you use to make the mobile dotted lines disappear just leaving an active selection. Obviously the text tool must be still in use for all this to work with text.

  • White type in the text box with fill with transparency

    This page of color in my INDD document a lot of transparency on this - in the following stacking order:

    1. downstairs are two boxes gradients covering the entire page.

    2. next is a background photo that's an advantage to feathers.

    3. then comes my text box that floats over a part of the photo in the background. The text box is filled with a gradient purple feather. The text box contains 8.5 PT. White type (Helvetica Neue Medium).

    4. a transparent dingbat straddles a corner of the text box.

    Where the white guy is pictured in the background, a color is reflected type. I have not noted on the PDF, but of course, the work of back of the printer, you can see.

    I thought all type except automatically eliminated black?

    I pulled out the file using PDFX-3 (1.3) because my printing does service provider ' t supports the 1.4. I underdstand this version flattens transparency. I scanned "Print Production Guide for transparency" Adobe and learned that the areas of complex transparency can cause unexpected results. Is what happened here?

    When I opened the flattening of transparencies and he asked to highlight objects with 'Text of Raster-Fill and Stroke' or 'Text described', this type area is highlighted. No other boxes on this page type were noted, even where it overlaps the background photo (which has applied feather).

    Several other transparent dingbats (such as duplication of the text box) are also highlighted as 'Raster - Fill and Stroke text'. They are all on the highest layer (type).

    This isn't a disaster - it's still readable - but the details of the publication who are affected, which is important. Maybe next time I won't be as lucky. What would I do different?

    It is possible in the more recent versions of ID to the value of transparency to the object, STROKE, fill and levels of content, and I suspect that you have applied your effects to the object level. I was able to recreate what you see as well by using the gradient feather tool and in the effect controls panel and using the pen it y to the entire object. Oddly enough, once the gradient feather tool has been used I couln can't access options in the effect controls panel or in the menu object.

    In all cases, if you can, select the block of text, open the effect controls panel or object > Effects > menu feather degraded, remove the gradient feather and reapply just the filling.

    If you are not able to do so, copy the text, delete the block of text and create a new and paste back the text, and then select the image and apply the gradient feather to complete using the effect controls panel or the menu object.

  • Add up the scores in the text box with a variable

    Hello

    I create a quiz form that does not use the quiz slides (5,5) standard Adobe Captivate. I get the learner to mark themselves and enter the score into a text entry in a TextAreaWithVariable area. The scores are then displayed on the last page in the corresponding text box TextAreaWithVariable.

    I wish that Captivate to add up the scores on the last page. I've read somewhere that you use Actions in advance, so when the student enters the page it triggers the calculation by using the action of the Expression. The problem is that when you configure the action, it does not recognize the three TextAreaWithVariables on the page. They are all appointed, but the action does not pick up them.

    Could you get it someone please let me know where I am going wrong here.

    Thank you very much

    Nick

    Hi Nick,

    I've been blogging on the use of the text with Variables by Jim box:

    Extended features

    In the article referenced to in this post, you will find explanations in detail the advanced actions that I used.

    But I'm a little afraid that I need additional information:

    • you have a text box, with its variable partner on one page and this variable gets its value (20) by the user
    • How many of these slides you?
    • but then, you talk of multiple partitions that you want to summarize in a total variable to be displayed on another TextArea widget to the last slide.

    How you trigger the advanced actions to calculate the sum? I suggest that use you the action on enter each slide after the first question slide to temporary sum. Try to explain:

    1. Score of the first slide in question entered by the user and stored in the variable v_quest1
    2. Entering the second question slide create this advanced standard action triggered by action on enter on this slide
      • Expression v_sum = v_sum + v_quest1
      • Continue
    3. Entering the third question slide create a similar action with the score stored in v_quest2
      • Expression v_sum = v_sum + v_quest2
      • Continue
    4. When you enter the slide of score you the last of this breakthrough of similar actions to trigger and the final result will be in v_sum

    If you do not need to keep the individual from each question scores, you can even re - use only a single variable v_quest that would be associated with all widgets except on the slide to score and you can reuse the action advanced on each slide without having to edit.

  • Change horizontal text frame (text box) with script?

    Hello

    I looking for something that might be simple but am not being able to solve... When I'm inside a document I created (or the one I opened), I want to be able to change the block of text horizontally.

    What I'm trying to do, it's exactly what I can with file > Document format > text - box width. If I reduce that number to, say 60 mm, the result is exactly what I want. But I wasn't able to find a way to do it through javascript...

    I tried the sample scripts for an answer or this forum or on the internet, but I don't know how to do it. And I have this feeling, it's pretty simple... Maybe by creating a menu script action?

  • Fill the text box with mulitple selctions of list box

    Hello

    I am new to LiveCycle and searched the forums for an answer on how to complete multiple selections in a list box to a text field.

    I added to the field calculate the text field the following: TextField14.rawValue = ListBox1.rawValue

    Is there a way I can change this so that the items of the listbox to enter the text so that the values appear side by side (California, Connecticut, New York), instead of up and down?

    Joe

    I would use the JS code following in the "exit" from the list box event

    var

    ListValue = this.rawValue;

    ListValue

    = replaceAll (ListValue, "\n", ",");

    TextField1.rawValue

    = ListValue;

    function

    replaceAll (oldStr, findStr, repStr) {}

    var srchNdx = 0; srchNdx keep track where in the line

    of oldStr we seek.

    var newStr = ""; newStr will contain the altered version of the oldStr.

    While (oldStr.indexOf (findStr, srchNdx)! = - 1).

    As long as there are strings, replace this loop

    will run.

    {

    newStr

    += oldStr.substring (srchNdx, oldStr.indexOf (findStr, srchNdx));

    Put all of the unchanged text of a findStr to

    the next findStr in newStr.

    newStr

    += repStr;

    Instead of putting the old rope, put in the

    new string instead.

    srchNdx

    = (oldStr.indexOf(findStr,srchNdx) + findStr.length);

    Now jump to the next segment of text up to the next findStr.

    }

    newStr

    += oldStr.substring (srchNdx, oldStr.length);

    Put everything that is left in newStr.

    return newStr;

    }

    Good luck

  • Using null values to change the text boxes

    Very simple question, I think.

    I have a form with rows of data.  All I want to do is say that if a given field in a line 'description1' is not Null, then fill another field with a specified value.

    jA

    If (descriptionFieldName.rawValue! = null) {}

    otherFieldName.rawValue = "value you want to give."

    }

    If there are multiple lines of information, you need to add the subform with expression, but also a number of occurrence so it wil know whoever you want. I will I use to specify the appearance:

    If (. descriptionFieldName.rawValue line (i)! = null) {}

    Line (i).otherFieldName.rawValue = "desired value tto give it."

    }
