• Convert path text field

  So I traced a shape. At one point, apparently, I accidentally clicked inside this shape with the text tool and transformed into a text field. I am now "cancellations" too far to go back. I would like to take this text field object and put it back in in a way that I can stroke and fill. In my layers palette, its marked as < type >. I tried a number of different copy, direct selection ideas and nothing has worked. How can I change this back?

• Convert the form field to the date format

  I have a form with date fields and you want to enter dates in this format: 03222012 and displayed it as: 12/03/2012. In other words, I don't want to have to put the slashes just in the number. I am using Adobe Pro X and you prefer not to use the livecycle designer.

  One thing I would recommend is to validate that the original string is the right length before you do this, otherwise you may get incorrect date value.

  var str = event.value

  pieces of var = [];

  var chunkSize = 2;

  If (str.length == 6) {}

  so that {(str)

  If (str.length< chunksize)="">

  chunks.push (STR);

  break;

  } else {}

  chunks.push (str.substr (0, chunkSize));

  Str = str.substr (chunkSize);

  }

  Str = chunks.join('/')

  }

  Event.Value = str

  You can either keep the original value if the length of the string is not correct, I have, or have it display something like "invalid."

• 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

• How do I do to convert the text of the String object to the Clipboard.

  Hi all, I am a beginner and I have a problem with the method of the Clipboard. I want to put a text string to the Clipboard, but the Clipboard.put method requires an object. What can I do to convert my text from the string object?

  My code below:

  String message = OriginalMessage.getBodyText();
  
                  String[] selections = {"Copy","Cancel"};                            Dialog addDialog = new Dialog("Copy to Clipboard", selections, null, 0, null);                           LabelField field = new LabelField(message);                addDialog.add(field);    
  
              if(addDialog.doModal() == 0) // User selected "Copy".            {
  
                  Clipboard cb = new Clipboard.put(message);

  Please help me.

  A string is an object in Java.  You can simply call Clipboard.getClipBoard () .put (message);

• How to convert several text boxes to the checkboxes

  Nice day

  in the last months, we are working on Adobe Acrobat DC and we have the following problem when we create pdf forms.

  It is quite common for us to convert a Word format in PDF form. Then, we select 'Prepare form' in Adobe DC to insert/change/remove the created fields (text boxes, check boxes, etc.). During this conversion, there are fields that must be boxes instead of text boxes. In order to proceed, we all have remove them and then re-create them which takes a lot of time.

  Is there a feature that allows you to select several fields and move them from one type to another (for example, convert all text in checkboxes areas)?

  Concerning

  -C' is not correct. You can select specific fields to convert from a list or based on their name, the field type and the page.

  -Yes, it is compatible with all versions of Acrobat (probably not until version 7, though).

  -The rest exactly the same size.

• I converted the text to the shape in illustrator and I try to apply a dotted around the shape; However, it does not work.

  I converted the text to the shape in illustrator and I try to apply a dotted around the shape; However, it does not work. Maybe I'm missing a step? Any suggestions?

  

  The settings that you should should work. I agree with sisham, to keep things simple and only put 5 in the first 2 fields, or your H will resemble each other.

  

  Now, you must have something else, and I suggest you select the element and to dissociate in the appearance menu > clear appearance. Then apply the dotted line.

  If you can post your file, am sure we could find what is worrying, but my guess is you have your dashboard applied, and which is overridden by a stroke applied to the group or level of the layer and dashboard you

• Is there a way to link the text fields in an interactive form in ID CS6?

  I'm recreating a form where they had several fields of text on the other. If the form was not interactive, it would be so the user could use to fill longer and more detailed answers to the questions.

  But since this is supposed to be interactive, I have a question the need to do this, at least that I could link them somehow, so that the user's long response would result from one field to the next according to the needs.

  Is it possible to do? Or it works better to merge into a large text 3 text fields?

  If the latter, is there a way to change a text field to return in a text box or image? I can't find this option.

  You can't bond PDF fields with each other.

  Do a multi-line, Scrollable text to give program input field forces (in Acrobat, but not in InDesign, you can also set a limit on the number of characters).

  As I've said elsewhere, choose object > Interactive > convert to object to a field of a normal object.

• Increase/decrease the number of text field?

  Hey there just playing on board and I'm trying to make a simple interactive (IE next buttons and back which got different labels).

  I had pimples just play and play in the opposite direction to the next or previous labels (I'm sure there is a better way to do it, so I'm all ears), but when I get to a label how can I get to increase/decrease a number text field without having to manually add each label (especially if there are 100 labels)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey pancreas, it seems that you do not call the 'arrowBtnLt' and click 'arrowBtnRt', on the left/right arrow button functions.

  Put this on arrowBtnLt.click:

  sym.arrowBtnLt ();

  Put this on arrowBtnRt.click:

  sym.arrowBtnRt ();

  In addition, because your label will probably from 1, document.compositionReady, replace the default value for 'currentCount' and if statement value left button like this:

  Enter the code to run when the composition is fully charged here

  var currentCount = 1; / / count the current count

  var maxCount = 4; / / maximum number of slides, labels, images, whatever, you

  sym.arrowBtnLt = function() {}

  If (currentCount > 1) {}

  -currentCount;

  update your text

  sym.getSymbol("pgNum").$("pgText").html (currentCount + "'") ;// convert number to string

  go to label on the timeline

  }

  }

  call this when the click on the arrow to the right

  sym.arrowBtnRt = function() {}

  If (currentCount<>

  currentCount ++;

  update your text

  sym.getSymbol("pgNum").$("pgText").html (' currentCount + "");

  go to label on the timeline

  }

• How to force you to update to the date entry before you validate a text field?

  I have this code:

  Custom blur for txtWeekEndingDate script

  (function () {}

  var weekEnding = new Date (event.value);

  day of week var = new Array (7);

  day of week [0] = 'Sunday ';

  day of week [1] = "Monday";

  day of week [2] = "Tuesday";

  day of week [3] = "Wednesday";

  day of week [4] = "Thursday";

  day of week [5] = "Friday";

  day of week [6] = "Saturday";

  var dayOfWeek = weekday [weekEnding.getDay ()];

  var strWeekEnding = weekEnding.toLocaleDateString ();

  Do nothing if the field is empty

  If (! event.target.value) return;

  If the value is not a valid email address...

  If (dayOfWeek! = 'Sunday') {}

  .. .that the user knows that the value is not a valid end date of week...

  App.Alert ({CMSG: "you entered, '" + strWeekEnding + "". ""}) Please enter a date on Sunday. ', nIcon:3, nType:0, cTitle:this.documentFileName});

  .. .and set the focus on this field

  event.target.setFocus ();

  } / / endif dayOfWeek! = "Sunday".

  })();

  The problem is that if the user enters something like "1/1" in the input box (which has a date format defined in the properties of the text box in the "mm/dd/yyyy') it sets the variable weekEnding to"undefined ". Without the validation script, it properly changes the date "01/01/2013", but it seems that this change occurs after the execution of script OnBlur. How can I force the update occur before the script is run?

  When an entry of "1/1" gets converted to "01/01/2013", it is only for what is displayed in the field. " The value of the underlying field remains on "1/1". The point is the value of the field does not change, just what is displayed in the field. This means that there is no direct method to get the text that is displayed.

  You can add a custom script to Validate that changes a value entry of "1/1" to "01/01/2013".» Then, you would get just the value of the field to recover. If you want more help with this approach, after once again.

• Need help: the value of checkbox auto fill in the field of text and text field calculation

  Noob on this site.

  So I currently have a form to fill out, asking me if certain actions are possible. I am fairly new to the technical aspects of livecycle so real with me if you can.

  I have a series of 4 boxes with values assigned to each. Below the 4 boxes, I have a 4 additional text fields at least one fields relate to one of the 4 possible box selections.

  OK, here we are so spare with me:

  Is it possible to link the 4 boxes in the text field below, i.e. When you click on one of the 4 boxes, the included value apart from that the check box automatically to fill the text field below about 4 possible selections?

  Second question: How can I change the text field automatically calculate numeric values with the 4th text field ending by the result of the calculation?

  example below

  Accounting by year	Checkbox
  100
  120
  144
  160

  	Text fields	Comments
  Holiday balance
  Less expenses to pay for a year		-> That's where I want the box above for AutoFill when selected above
  ( = )		I want this field to subtract the 1st class area and 2nd givign me total
  Eligible to convert hours: 50% of the balance above

  
  I want this field to take the total field above and divide by 2

  Can anyone help please. Thank you

  If I'm working on the fact that the four items of the table is called:

  1. currentBalance
  2. accrual accounting
  3. Balance
  4. eligibleHours

  So if you go on the 3rd field (balance) and have the following text in the calculate (JavaScript) event:

  this.rawValue = currentBalance.rawValue - accrual.rawValue;

  In the area of 4th (eligibleHours) and have the following text in the calculate (JavaScript) event:

  this.rawValue = balance.rawValue / 2;

• Verification of the entry text fields errors.

  Hello

  I was wondering where to find a list of what can be verified error in text entry fields?

  I'm looking for things like...

  -check that the letters, and not numbers are registered

  -check that a number entered is in a certain range

  etc...

  Thank you guys

  Shaun

  To limit the entry of a text field, use the following codes to AS3:

  myInput.restrict = "A - Z, a - z,., ' '; myInput is the instance name of your text box

  To check the range of numbers, use the following code:

  myInput.restrict = "0-9";
  myInput.maxChars = 3;
  
  myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, chk);
  
  function chk(e:MouseEvent):void
  {
      var myString:String = myInput.text;
      var i:Number = Number(myString); //Converting the string to a number variable
      var max:Number = 100; //Maximum range
      var min:Number = 30; //Minimum range
  
      if (i < max && i > min) //Condition to indicate the range
      {
          trace("Within range");
      }
      else
      {
          trace("Out of range");
      }
  }
  

  I hope this helps.
