Define formats of different segments of text in a text field?

I want to assign a different formatting to different segments of text in a textfield. I tried

assign a format to a string, then concatinated text and it has not been accepted.

How do I assign a different formatting in the same textfield?

code follows:

format assigned to the textfield object:

var sngTitle:TextField = new TextField();
sngTitle.text = "title:".
var sngTtlForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
sngTtlForm.font = "Stencil Std";
sngTtlForm.italic = true;
sngTtlForm.color = 0xffcc00;
sngTtlForm.size = 24;

text, I would like to add to the textfield above:

var compNotice:String = "played";
var compNoticeForm:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
compNoticeForm.font = "Stencil Std";
compNoticeForm.italic = true;
compNoticeForm.color = 0x3366cc;
compNoticeForm.size = 24;
compNotice.setTextFormat (compNoticeForm);

error console output:
1061: call to a method may be undefined setTextFormat
a static String type reference.

-you don't first attach text to a string, but only to a tetxtfield format.

Secondly - if you want to set the text-only to a segment of your textfield, no problem use method "setTextFormat()' of the TextField.  Search Help for more information, in particular the set 'beginIndex' and "endIndex"

  • Text field formatting

    I just installed Adobe Standard 10 on my laptop and have a file that I used before on my desktop that contains text fields formatted as 'number '.  Additional text fields take this information and perform calculations based on the numeric values.  This does not work on my laptop, as it does on my desk.  There are global settings that I could check?  Even if the text boxes are in the number format, it's the treatment of the values as text.  Please provide ideas so you can...

  • How to add a statement to a text field

    Hi all

    I'm trying different ways to add a guideline to a text field. I tried

    1 / to insert a comment, but clearly it does not work with an interactive form in Adobe Acrobat format.

    2 / use text field and the value of the guideline as a default value in the object palette but the problem are

    -The text field is not developed horizontally even I chose to develop to fit option

    -The guideline doesn't go away in case the user do not use

    -The box is not afraid also that users type not enough lines

    3 / to use text instead of text field for the guideline, the problem is

    -There will be a large space between the two parties because the directive is not intended to be printed.

    My question is if there is a smarter way to suggest to users by typing into the text field by giving instructions without printing. For example, is it possible to have a hidden box, you know, it seems that users drag a mouse or click on the field?

    I know it might be a naive question, but please help me. I would be really grateful.

    Hello

    One solution would be to encapsulate the four objects in a subform flowed. The file has to be saved in dynamic PDF.

    Then set the presence of text 'Hidden '. This excludes the layout and other objects to take their place, if they are not visible.

    Then the events mouseEnter and mouseExit of the textfields set guidelines/text lines. See the example.

    If you want a textfield to extend, you must also save the file as a dynamic AND objects in a subform flowed.

    Good luck

  • How to copy formats to easily different text fields?

    I am a new user of Acrobat Pro and I'm very frustrated that he doesn't seem to be an easy way to apply the same format (number, percentage, etc.) in a variety of fields of text at the same time.  When I select a number of areas, the option "Format" disappears in the 'Properties' dialog box and I have to go to each field to change the properties individually.  How can I select a number of areas and apply the same properties of Format for each of them at the same time?

    Thanks for your help!

    You can not. When you do this a lot, you end up using strategies that need is reduced to the minimum. For example, when you create a large number of date fields, first put in place a field the way you want to copy, paste, and rename to create other date fields. Or you can use the right click > feature up several fields after the first configuration of the field as you want. Another option is to use JavaScript, which is relatively easy if the domain names of the existing fields makes it easy to reference them in a loop (for example, date.1, date.1, date.2,... date. 100). You just know that Acrobat uses for JavaScript in the key events and Formats to a particular format.

    I'm not sure what their reasoning is to not allow multiple fields to stare directly at the same time, but it would make a good feature request. I know the other have asked before.

  • Text field display [formatted] data date - different entry form.

    It is probubly simple but thanks for any help.  My client wants to text fields as they find tedious date drop-downs for its shape.  As a result, I formatted the field to display the date as he asked mmm / d.  Regardless of how the user inserts the date, it is displayed as well as the customer wants.

    The problem I am facing is that when I call data for the calculations it send information in the format it was entered rather then displayed.

    For example, a user can enter

    1-1 and it would show [Jan / 1] in the field, but returns a string value (1-1) with this.getField.  User can enter 01 jan, jan 1, jan - 1, 1-01, 01-01, ect. and it would all read correctly in the text formatted field.

    I wrote a simple script to convert the month in days but it won't work unless the information is returned in the same way, it is displayed.  Y at - it an easier way to convert a date text field into a variable [day of the year] regardless of how the data has been entered. (without drop downs).

    Please and thanks for any help.

    To get a date that you can use, use the util.scand method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.1260.html

    With no information of the year, it will give the current year. You'll be able to get the day and the month as and use however desired. Note that Acrobat/Reader will not let you enter an invalid date (for example, February 30) when the field is formatted as a date, if it's not a matter of concern.

  • Formatting of Drag and Drop text boxes

    Hello

    Is it possible to format the text of a drag-and - déposer dashboard area text plus further using the default values?

    I know that I could create the text in the form of a chart and use it as a background image, but it's not very flexible.

    Similarly, it would be great if you could have the background (i.e. ' cell' shading) and different colors of text.

    I suspect that the answer is 'no', and is there no plans to introduce this, but just thought I might ask!

    I like automatically formats the first line of text in a text box with the style of good character.

    I tried already different ways like GREP or styles nested.

    Well, it's not entirely "automagical", maybe someone knows better as well.

    1. you create nested Style special Para with the line Style.

  • Text format text field shows as a hyperlink?

    Hello

    I created a PDF form fillable which is automatically filled by VBA integrated in a macro on an Excel worksheet button.

    One of the pieces of data that are retrieved from the Excel sheet is a link to a Web site.

    When the PDF form is sent by e-mail to a customer that I need this link appears as a hyperlink to my client can easily open the site by clicking on the text field.

    After looking through all the format options, I don't see anything that will allow me to format the text as a hyperlink field, so I think I'm going to need a script any?

    The Web link is different for each form that is created if unfortunately is not a static address, which can be hard coded on the form.

    Any help with this would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Using the option "Open a web link" would probably mean that the link should be predefined in the text field?

    This isn't what I meant. A script can be written that will (attempt to) open the current text in the text box, regardless of what it is in the browser. Basically, it would be something like this (as the mouse upward event):

    try {app.launchURL (event.target.value) ;} catch (e) {}

    Using the link option in Rich Text Format could put on to launch everything that is entered in the text rather than a predefined web address field?

    No, it must be set manually. I don't see how this feature of script.

  • How can I change the contents of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

    Hi all!

    First time poster and getting quite frustrated trying to understand this issue. Here's the scenario: I use Acrobat Pro 10 to create what is essentially a form of giant order. I have designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and other whatnot and then it exported to Acrobat to continue the construction of the form.

    I have a radio button group called 'conference_opportunities' that contains different options at different prices, so they are all the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).

    What I've done is created a 'MouseDown' event on the button that sets a variable called 'ConferenceOpportunity', which is equivalent to the title of the option they pick. Then, I want to take this variable and display in a text box called "Conference_Option". I use a variable because my radio buttons values are actual prices of the option they pick, so I can't set the value as the title of the option.

    If its an array of boxes and option at the bottom of the page, there is the Option that they selected, the quantity (which can change) and value (in dollars)

    I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a kind of summary of what they have chosen to buy as well, but I guess it's the same code.

    I'm not an expert at all Javascript, so code snippets would help greatly. I looked on the Document from Adobe on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I also turned to the Almighty google and still no luck.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you all

    Right now, you have to do is use this variable to the value property of your text field... Then add this at the end of your code:

    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;

    Also, I would use not MouseDown, MouseUp.

    Concerning

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the update on the issue.

    If the problem persists, try these methods below and see if that solved the problem.

    Method 1:

    There may be several reasons why a computer is not able to detect a signal wireless adapter. Wireless networks appear only if your PC has a wireless network card installed, the adapter is turned on and the wireless access point is within reach. Many network connection problems are caused by hardware that is not configured or the drivers are not installed properly. Follow the steps described in the article below to check on all aspects and troubleshoot accordingly.
