Disabled pasting into a text field

I have created a PDF form and I'm wanting to prevent the user so that they can paste text from another source in a text field on the form.  Is this possible?

I use Acrobat Pro DC.

Thank you.

Script custom strike (the text field properties dialog box > courrieronglet > format Custom category > typing a Script custom) can be as simple as:

Event.RC = event.change.length<>

The problem is if you need to do for fields that use one of the categories (for example, number, or Date) built-in formatting, it gets complicated.

  • How to paste into the text field of the Clipboard with JavaScript?

    I implement the following actions in the form of javascript:

    1. a user clicks on a link on the PDF to open a web page

    2. the user uses the web page to find information and then copy text from the web page

    3. the user clicks a button on the pdf form and it formats the text to the Clipboard and paste them into the text fields.

    I can't find any references for the reading of the data from the Clipboard with javascript in PDF Forms. is it not possible?

    Perhaps 'not possible' was a little too hard. It would be a security hole if she accepts a script in a form to copy the contents of the Clipboard without the user explicitly allowing it. It has been possible to copy the contents of the Clipboard into a form field using the app.execMenuItem method without the user knowing / allowing it, but that hole was closed. The restriction can be overcome, as explained in the documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.143.html

  • How to make the PDF text field to be strikes do not copy/paste from previous text fields?

    Dear friends

    Helps to solve a problem related to the fields of PDF text, please

    Is there a way to make a PDF of the respondent, which ends of fields text to type own text not copy/paste of the previous text fields?

    Thank you very much!

    Copy the following code, used as key event custom field of your field, will prevent to enter more than one character at a time, which means that copy it text from an external source is not possible:

    if (event.change.length>1) event.rc=false;
    

    However, you can inform your users of this restriction, or they think that something is wrong with the file.

  • Disable auto-capitalisation in text field

    I do a text field, but I don't want the first letter capitalized. None of the types of entry is not really what I want.

    It was suggested in another thread that define addresses worked and do not add a symbol or .com to the keyboard (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Cascades-Development/TextField/m-p/1831441/highlight/true#M15...).

  • Text field copy and paste over and over again :(

    Is it possible to automatically paste an editable text field in a document, only on odd pages and in the same place on the page. I am able to pass odd page to odd page and do a "paste in place", but it takes forever and I don't want on a master page because then it is not editable unless I 'Override all Master Page items', as I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

    Place it on a master page.

    Why would you use 'Replace all Master Page items' if there is only one you want to replace? A Ctrl (or Cmd for Mac) + Shift + double click releases an element to a single master page.

  • You can prevent a user copy and paste in a text box Widget?

    Hello

    I use the Widget text box in a custom quiz that I created.  Is there anyway to prevent a user to paste into the text box?  Basically, I need to make sure that students to type in the answer, not just copy a document and paste in the text box Widget.

    Initially I was using BER (which naturally seems to avoid this) but moved to Widget text box, so I could to format the text.

    As always, I appreciate the help!

    They can also paste a TEB, sorry. You can provide such a limitation. The interaction of the scrolling text can be used to display the text (check the 'read only' option) or to allow the user to enter text.

  • in Acrobat DC - I would like to change the font of a strikethrough text field after that I have check the box next to it.

    I work on a document in Acrobat DC and want to be able to use checkboxes as a checklist. Once the box is checked, I want the police in the text box the box is associated with having a police barred .

    Is this something that needs javascript?

    Textfield name is 4MedHistoryMedication1 , and there already Calibri font type.

    The box is named 4MedHistoryMed_1_RXonFile

    When the 4MedHistoryMed_1_RXonFile checkbox is checked, then the text in 4MedHistoryMedication1 will be Calibri ; So any content text already typed into this text field will get the police barred.

    Don't forget that I'm not familiar with Javascript.

    It will take JavaScript and the text field must be put in place to allow rich text formatting. You will need to set the value by using span in order to set the bar. Here is a sample script for the script of mouse upward to a check box that should help you get started:

    Script mouse upwards to the box

    (function () {}

    Set a Boolean value that indicates whether to set the property for each span made out

    which depends on the State of this check box

    var bStrikethrough = event.target.value! == 'Off '.

    Get a reference to the text field

    var f = getField ("4MedHistoryMedication1");

    Get the value of the text spans tabular field that represents the rich text value

    var aRV_spans = f.richValue;

    Set the property for each span made out

    for (var i = 0; i)< arv_spans.length;="" i="" +="1)">

    aRV_spans [i] .strikethrough = bStrikethrough;

    }

    Update the value of the text field

    f.richValue = aRV_spans;

    })();

  • Interactive PDF: creating forms and anchor text field

    Hi, I'm new to this and have an urgent job, so please help:

    I create an interactive PDF file, adding fields of text placed above the lines and wonder how I can:

    1 ANCHOR these fields for text, we use for photo boxes or anchor text... and

    2. place the text fields anchored above the lines that I typed in the space allocated for this text field.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    You can use an anchored object. Place your cursor after the text and create an anchor, this will put an anchor point. Once the image is inserted, it can be converted into a text field. Use the 'Relative to anchor Marker' option, which will allow the anchor around if text is added.

  • Validate the value of the text field

    Hello.

    I found this code:

    the value of power reactive

    var a = this.getField ("Name1");

    var two = this.getField ("Name2");

    var 3 = this.getField ("Name3");

    This feature assembles two field values into one with "and" as a separator.

    function concatFields (field1, field2, fieldDest) {}

    make sure that all variables are present

    If (Field1 & & Field2 & & fieldDest) {}

    var fieldVals = new Array();

    If (field1.value! = "& & field1.value! = null) {}

    fieldVals.push (field1.value);

    }

    If (field2.value! = "& & field2.value! = null) {}

    fieldVals.push (field2.value);

    }

    fieldDestResult = fieldVals.join ('and');

    fill the fieldDest only if it is empty

    if(fieldDestResult.value!=''|| fieldDestResult.value!=null) {}

    fieldDest.value = fieldDestResult;

    //}

    }

    }

    concatFields (one, two, three);

    These values to combine text two fields into one (text field nr.3) and put 'and' between the values. It works OK. But what happens if the two values are equal? Then, I need that one value is fill in field Nr. 3. Then. If the field 'Name1' and 'Name2' values are different, the two are combined in "Name3",... If the values are equal, the only one of them will be send to "Name3" on the ground.

    How can I do?

    Thanks for the reply.

    There is no coma have been a period should be. Be the soul of the last four lines:

    var Text1 = this.getField("Name1").valueAsString;

    var Text2 = this.getField("Name2").valueAsString;

    if(Text1 == text2) Text2 = "";

    Fill-in = Event.Value (Text1, Text2, "", "and");

    Additional code can be added to remove the distinction uppercase / lowercase and trim leading or white end space.

  • Auto check box when test is entered into a trial field

    Hello

    I was wondering if HRT is possible. I have created a form using Acrobat X and I have a list of software for users to choose with a checkbox next to them. I also have an option for the user of software that was not the name. Is it possible to have this check box selected automatically when text is entered into the text field?

    Thank you

    Of course, you can use a validation script customized to the text field that looks like:

    Custom validation script

    getField("checkbox1").value = event.value? 'Yes': 'Off '.

    Replace 'Yes' with the value of real export of the box (which by default is 'Yes') and 'checkbox1' with the actual name of the corresponding checkbox.

  • Adding (or divide, multiply, etc.) in the text field values

    Hello world

    I'm trying to calculate values in fields of text entered by the user (who didn't accept numbers) as well as the values selected by the user drop-down list boxes. I have a function to a button:

    reviewQ.calcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calcAns);
    function calcAns(e:MouseEvent):void
    {
         reviewQ.calcAns_text.text = "Your calculated result is " + parseInt(Q1.Q1_text.text) + parseInt(Q2.Q2_cb.selectedItem.data) + parseInt(Q3.Q3_text.text) + parseInt(Q4.Q4_cb.selectedItem.data);
    }
    

    Now, all I get is the actual values entered into the text fields and selected in the drop-down list boxes. How can I get the sum of these values to display on my 'calcAns_text.text '?

    Thank you for your help,

    Rafa.

    You have to build your own filtering for values.  If you think that decimal values, then you will need to plan and test for the presence of a comma in a numeric string and then do not use parseInt(); (what creates an integer value), but use instead Number();  You will need to filter the commas in the numbers in the string before creating the value used for the calculation.

  • 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

  • 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?

    Vinny,
