• Limit the number of characters in a text based on the first digit field

  Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

  I want to limit the amount of characters in the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is limited to a number format... no decimals, no comma).

  For example, if the number starts with a 3, I would limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could start with code and what is the best place to add (key combination or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!

  I wrote this code for you that does this. Use it as a typo of the custom field code:

  // Validate that only digits are entered
  if (event.change) {
      event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
  }
  
  // Validate string length if it starts with 3
  if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
      event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
      if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
  }
  

  You can duplicate the second part of it for additional terms, but keep in mind that this code won't let you even remove the first character in the field if the result is not valid.

  For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the beginning because that would result in a number not valid. You can delete all the other numbers, even if and when it is 10 digits or less, then you can remove the departure "2" as well.

• Minimum of characters in a text box

  It seems silly that it is so easy to define the maximum number of characters in a text box (IE. Properties > Options > characters limit of X) but that there is no easy equaivalent to the minimum number of characters? At least not in Acrobat 9 in any case, don't know versions ever!

  Does anyone know if the minimum number of characters can be defined with Javascript?

  That was a rhetorical question. So what you really want, it's if the field is not empty, it would take at least a minimum number of characters. What is the minimum number that you want to apply? You'd probably want to use a custom for this validation script, but what exactly do you want to happen if the user enters only three characters, but the minimum you want is four? Should be rejected three characters who were seized in total, or should focus just the back of the field value so that the user can enter, or something else?

  Here's what might look like a script that rejects the input:

  Script for custom text to validate field

  (function () {}

  There is nothing to

  If (! event.value) return;

  Sets the minimum number of characters

  var min_chars = 4;

  Denied entry and alert the user if less than the minimum

  If (event.value.length< min_chars)="">

  Event.RC = false;

  App.Alert ("Please enter at" + min_chars + "in characters.\r\rYou" + event.value.length + "characters.", 1);

  }

  })();

• Validate the form by the number of characters field

  Have you ever had to validate a form by the number of characters field? For example, limited to a field of comments to 500 characters and returns the error message if they will.

  So, to implement, you will need jquery on your page - I just pull it from the Google cdn:

  The countdown script, you must:

  And you add the maxlength attribute to any field that you want to use. The field below has a maxlenght of 100:

• Limit the number of characters on the Master Page?

  language: php

  Question: In regard to the master page, does anyone know how to limit the number of characters to display only 250 in Dreamweaver CS4?

  That is easily fixed. Use this custom instead of the function:

  function extractChars($text, $chars = 250) {
       if (strlen($text) < $chars) {
            return $text;
       } else {
            $pos = strpos($text, ' ', $chars);
            return substr($text, 0, $pos) . '...';
       }
  }
  

  Put this function definition in your page and use it like this:

  echo extractChars($row_recordsetName['fieldName']);
  

  If the text is less than 250 characters, you will have just the full text. If it is more than 250, you get the shortcut text.

  The function has an optional second argument, which determines the number of characters you want to use as a boundary. So, if you want only the first hundred, follow these steps:

  echo extractChars($row_recordsetName['fieldName'], 100);
  

• Does anyone know if you are limited in the number of characters in the text field?

  I have the scrolling text of the distant rear side right up to the edge on the left front. I only get to halfway through the message of full text and letters are mixed at the any end. is there a limit on the number of characters I can use? Is there a setting a limitation I can increase?

  It seems to be. I figured it at approximately 16000 characters more or less (or even lower). (Estimated from the original character TextEdit limit as it seems to be this type of core service text text handling in movement and FCPX.)  I drew this conclusion during the development of a method to create a movement subtitles. It finally turned out that I had to cut the scripts into pieces 'chapter of size' to keep the character countdown. I never got to finish this tutorial and it has been quite some time now (and I can't not find my notes on the subject). It could be that the number of characters estimated is actually lower.

  There is no way to reset the limit.

  Original title: Clipboard

  Hello

  I use a software and I have the problem with the paper, I need to change the properties of the Clipboard or to increase the number of characters that can pass from one program to another

  where can find Clipboard in windows 7 and how can I change properties?

  There is no user-oriented Clipboard option.

  For 32-bit applications, the Clipboard can allocate blocks up to 2 GB in size or to a maximum of the amount of virtual memory in the PC has, is the least. The Windows Clipboard does not impose any other size limits.

• Script for counting both Yes and no in a column and returning the number of Yes on the Total

  Thank you

  We are usually complete solutions, given a description or example of how to make the more difficult part, you should be able to take your knowledge of JavaScript and add the missing pieces. If you are not familiar with JavaScript, treat yourself and watch an introductory part (I like this for JavaScript in Acrobat: Beginning JavaScript for Adobe Acrobat ).

  Looking at your script, you already have most of the features in place. You should be able to edit the output (assuming that your domain may take a string and is not just a numeric field), by simply changing the last line:

  Change "event.value = total / total;" to the following:

  event.value = totalY + " of " + total;
  

  For easier reading, you can reformat the last two lines like this:

  if (total==0)
      event.value = "";
  else
      event.value = totalY + " of " + total;

  Acrobat.com, how to determine the number of characters or words in a PDF file?

  Hi unk2,

  There is no feature in Acrobat.com online services to a number of characters. But, you could use ExportPDF to convert your PDF files to Word format and then create your character count in Word.

  Please let us know if you need help.

• How to validate the number of characters in the text entry box?

  Hello

  I have inserted a text box entry and assigned a variable (UserName). Now, I need to limit the entry of a number, maxinum of 20 characters. In other words, how can I validate the number of characters in the text entry area and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

  I think that you should study the Jim Leichliter widget that allows you to use regular Expressions to validate text input.

• Basic conditional script based on the number of lines in a text layer?

  Just received help here to write a conditional script by using the font size of a text layer. Thank you all for this.

  The next hurdle is a conditional script using the number of lines in a text layer in the differential. Far as I can tell it not the layer details which specify the number of lines. Just '\r' for a return in the idTxt descriptor. Nothing seems to stand for a soft return as far as I can tell. I'll probably have to be able to count the lines with soft and hard returns.

  Any thoughts?

  I was playing around with this a bit and here is a small script to determine the number of rows. This is based on the self in the head, that I calculated to environ.108 times the size of the font.

  #target photoshop
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.POINTS;
  var doc = activeDocument
  var tL = doc.activeLayer
  var h = tL.bounds[3]-tL.bounds[1]
  var per = ((h/5)-(tL.textItem.size))/tL.textItem.size
  var num = h/(tL.textItem.size *1.108)
  
  alert(Math.round( num))
  

• get individual characters in a text box.

  Another beginner question.  I am writing a script that verifies that the number of wine (num series) of a vehicle is correct.  I need to access each of the 17 character entered in a text box.  I would like to be able to count the tank enter (right now it is limited to 17) and I need to multiply each tank by different numbers to check against the check digit of the VIN.  I think my problem is that I can not get the value of the field recognized as a string or a series of tank.  I get an error of syntax on line 5, when I add *: string * line.  If I don't then it does not recognize the *. charAt() * function in line 6.  Do I need to add a header or something?

  Also is a question, there a way to search the post before just to Acrobat Scripting debate?  When I do a search, it seems search all the forums and can't find what I want.

  var Val = 0;

  var theChar = ' ';

  Dally var = this.getField ("wine");

  var theString:string = theVin.value;

  theChar = theString.charAt (0);

  Val = value (theChar);

  Val = Val * 8;

  this.getField("checkVin").value = Val;

  This can be a little difficult, because you have to deal with the strings and numbers. JavaScript has a few traps in this regard.

  The first thing to change is the line

  var theString.string = theVin.value

  This line of code does not much sense in Acrobat JavaScript. You can, however, change it to

  var theString = theVin.valueAsString;

  This moment should ensure that you have a string in the variable.

  Having a string, you can treat it as an array, which means that you can solve each character via an index number, corresponding to his position. The result is still a string.

  Assuming you have all the numbers, you can change the strings to the number multiplying by 1 and do the calculation of your need.

  And who should do it.

  I hope this can help.
