Create a form in Indesign: text endangered field borders

I hope someone can help! I create many forms in Indesign. I have a problem with the field borders when it is exported to PDF format.

I set up the form fields in the Indesign Document as a graphic frames with a keyline in black 0.5pt, these are integrated in the main text of the page. These are then converted to text fields through the palette of "buttons and forms. Export pdf as an interactive pdf file.

When first I look at the pdf file in Acrobat (or drive), it's fine.

However, after typing in some examples of data some of the border disappears. I tried the form of compensation, but they are not always visible.

Zoom in and out does not work. I tried to align the rule with the inside/outside/Center of the frame, it makes no difference. I tried setting the fields as floating on the page, does not work. The only solution I found is to set the border to 1pt - but it makes the very heavy form. Is there a way around this, or is 1 pt line width minimum that will work in this type of document?

If anyone has any bright ideas that would be wonderful! Thank you.

Unfortunately, there's really nothing you can do to control the display of the border of the form fields with borders .5pt, I see the same results as you.

  • I've created a form that uses the value field text to fill the text of another field.  Does not take into account changes

    I've created a form that uses the value field text to fill the text of another field.  However, if I need to change the text, the second field does not update this change.  Instead of reset the form each time, is the Javascript code to update the fields if they have been modified?

    For example I Text1 and Text2.

    When I type in Hello in Text1 I see Hello in Text2.

    Later, if I decide to change to Goodbye Text1, Text2 remains Hello.

    The shape of the hoe can recognize this change?

    Thank you

    Edit: I think I have misunderstood the situation.

    If you want to both fields have the same value, just to give them the same name.

  • I have created a form in Indesign. Is there a way to create the default text in a text field that displays the interactive pdf "insert text here" in the text field?

    I have created a form for the company, so that I work. It is a form that will be used in several offices and has buttons, drop downs and text fields. One of the text fields has a requirement that when the PDF file is opened, the text field has something written in there already, as an example (and one only) INSERT the TEXT HERE. I created the text field in Indesign and used the text tool to type in the area of the body-copy required. After that I have to export it as an interactive PDF, text in the text field disappeared.

    Drop-down lists give an option for a default choice, but I don't see a way to create default text in the Panel of buttons and forms for text fields. Is there a workaround or a hidden feature?

    Thank you!

    Set it in Acrobat.

  • Forms of InDesign with rounded fields exported to Acrobat

    Hello. I use CC InDesign and Acrobat Pro DC on a MB Pro. I apologize if this has to be validated in InDesign rather than here.

    I'm working on creating a form with fields that are rounded. I created a rectangle rounded up and copied and pasted a box of field above it in InDesign.

    It is a picky thing, but when the file is exported, the text field is slightly beyond the created rectangle as shown (you can see the edge to the square of the field highlighted). I wanted to just a few tips. Would be the best thing to do in Acrobat is hide the highlighting on the fields? Or is there a workaround? I shouldn't use rounded fields, etc...

    Screen Shot 2016-01-29 at 9.51.05 AM.png

    There is No such a thing as a table in forms of Acrobat or fields with rounded edges.

    You can disable the highlighting of field via Edition - Preferences - forms.

    As a general rule, I would recommend to create the layout of ID and the fields themselves in Acrobat. I experienced a lot of problems with the fields that have been created in the code.

  • Why a form in InDesign CC 2014 multiline text field wraps not the text in the exported PDF file?

    I created a form in InDesign CC 2014. The form fields are text with a font size of 12 point and multiline text attribute. I export to PDF interactive form. Open the PDF file in Acrobat XI. When I type in the form field, the text is centered vertically in the form field and wraps around, when I type a value in addition to a line of words in the field.

    I would like that text to start at the top of the field and fill down. Also, I would automatically wrap it around the input text.

    Any advice?

    Delete any point in the name field.

    There is a problem like that if there is a point understanding between the words or numbers in the name of the text box in the button panel.

  • Function 'Send form' in Indesign CC do not export to interactive PDF correctly

    I created a form in Indesign CC using the 'Submit form' and 'mailto:address' int and then exported as an interactive Pdf. The form Submit button works on my computer in Acrobat Reader and Acrobat Pro XI, but when I send it to my client or to another user, that it no longer works. Can anyone help?

    Find out if it works depends on a number of things. It can only work if the PDF Viewer that is used supports this type of action. You will find that the most common are not, such as Preview on OS x and iOS and integrated PDF Viewer for Firefox. But even if you use Adobe Reader, it may not work if the user does not have a properly configured e-mail client. It is a good idea to provide clear instructions and include what PDF viewers are supported and what to do if the email is not engaged (for example, to save the PDF and manually attach it to an e-mail to the intended recipient).

  • Dynamic form in the current state (fields visible/invisible)

    I've created my form dynamic so that some fields are visible and invisible, based on other selections in the form.  I created a submit button using a standard button and parameters to send the PDF file as an attachment to the appropriate address.  When the attachment is opened, the presence of the fields return to their State to be visible or invisible.  It's the same look you have when you open the PDF file under a new name.  The data entered by the user is still in the fields, some are just invisible.  Is it possible to send the PDF file with the visible/invisible state of all fields when the Send button is pressed?

    Example of


    New file is opened:

    Field visible =

    Field B = invisible

    The user changes the settings and submit the form:

    Field = invisible

    Field B = visible

    When I opened the attachment:

    Field visible =

    Field B = invisible

    This is usually due to the function 'Snap to Grid' is enabled. It can be accidentally activated via the keyboard, so this may have been what happened.

  • I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

    I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

    You can use a validation script customized to each text field that looks like:

    event.target.textFont = event.value = event.target.defaultValue? font. HelvI: fonts. Helv;

    This will make the text italic (Helvetica) when the field value is the value default and regular otherwise. There are other properties that you can use instead, as the field color, border width, background color, text or text size...

  • Can I create a form using the object styles in InDesign

    Hello

    Is it possible to create a form in the object Styles I can create in InDesign? I know that I can attribute some qualities, but I would like to create a capsule form that will be repeated throughout a page of lists in our sites.

    So far, I have to copy, paste, and anchor the object in the text which is quite time that we have thousands of ads, and life is too short for mundane tasks.

    If I can create a form of object Styles, by entering its dimensions, it will allow me to create the style for import into InDesign, 4 d, our CMS.

    If not, can we have it in a new construction, please Adobe?

    I look forward to your reply.

    Thank you

    Roy

    That can be done with tabs and styles nested using underscore with a custom stroke style. I hope that these screenshots should explain it...

  • PDF form with several auto pages copy text in fields on the following pages

    I created a PDF form with multiple pages. I started with an Illustrator file, then exported to Acrobat to make it complete. For some reason any, however, when users enter text on the first page and try to continue on the other, the text on the first page only auto copies on the following pages. And if you delete what was on the second page (or third) to enter the correct data, which provides information on the first page.

    I guess it must be something that twisted when I was creating the form, so I don't know if there is a way to fix without all over again.

    Thank you!

    Give a unique name to each field. The fields with the same name are copies of each other and will automatically have the same value.
