• Editing a text field in Acrobat pro 9.4

  When I go to edit inside actobat pro mode, what I can change are the data fields, non-static text.  How can I select static in my document/form text so that I can change it?  The data fields are all fine as is and I didn't need to change.  I just need to edit the static text in the document.  How is that possible?

  If I use lifecycle designer, the text isn't formatted correctly and it is impossible to edit because the text is too large and some text fields are superimposed.  In lifecycle designer, I can't understand how to select a text box.  He described boxes, but it is imposible to change the size of the box, since there is apparently no selection tools.  Whenever I try, I end up editing a box which is located on the area that I'm trying to change.  Any suggestions?

  Since you're using FDF, the form is most likely created in Acrobat, so it's an acroform as opposed to an XFA form. So don't try editing in LiveCycle Designer. HAE tried using the Touchup text tool in Acrobat? Do not go in the form mode to do this modification.

• Is legends - possible to add captions on form field in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?

  I lost LiveCycle when CreativeCloud and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make legends of form field in Acrobat Pro XI? Or should I just create fields legend separated for each field? I hope I'm missing just something obvious...

  Lol you can use (read only) text field with a name similar (like 'name'

  (and "Name tag"), but the two will not be "linked" to another.

• How to make a text expanding field in Acrobat Pro?

  I am trying to create a PDF form with text fields that expand as the information is entered.  I know it can be done in Adobe Livecycle Designer, but I have to be able to do in Acrobat Pro.  I need to be able to save the form once it is filled in and potentially make changes or add additional information later.  That's where I met a problem with Livecycle because I do not have the Extension of Livecycle Reader nor do I have a server to install the Extension of Livecycle Reader on.  Help, please!

  You should not have LiveCycle Reader Extensions to what you want to do. Acrobat is able to activate Reader a form that you create with LiveCycle Designer so that it can be registered with the player. He added not all rights of use which can Reader Extensions, but what you have said you probably don't need them.

• Limit the text to the size of the text box in Acrobat Pro?

  Hello

  I am currently working on a PDF form in Acrobat Pro for a small company, and they asked if there was a way to limit the amount of text that you can put in each text box to the actual size of the box. For example, when entering in your information, the text should be limited to the size of the text box and allows more to be written after that. I already disabled 'Scroll long text' properties tab, but for some reason any it always scrolls when you type beyond the limits of the area. Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  You may need to limit the size of the text by making a right click on the text field, and then select Properties.

  The dialog box "Text field properties", go to the 'Options' tab and then enter the number of characters you want in the option "limit of characters.

• Impossible to select the fields in Acrobat Pro XI tools/editor of formulas to calculate

  First of all, in the form Acrobat Pro XI during an attempted editor calculate fields, I don't and then select the fields (click), to calculate.  I can only just select or deselect all.

  Also, if my simple spreadsheet formula is:

  =IF(Value01> 0,SUM(Value01* (Value02-Value03)),"")

  Is there a simple way to translate this formula in a calculation script in the form Pro Adobe Acrobat XI (or FormsCentral) tools?

  Thanks for any input.

  Relating to the selection of fields: use the space bar or click a little out of the center of

  the checkbox. This is a known problem in Acrobat that has not been resolved yet.

  Unfortunately.

• Expand text fields, only when printing

  All,

  I have a dynamic form that includes several text fields for user input. These fields have a fixed height, however, allow multiple lines beyond the visible area. I don't want these fields to develop when you leave the field, but when the form is printed. The form is set up neatly on 7 pages, and I would that this still 7 when the user is working, however, I would like to expand to account for the extra text to print.

  How can I make sure when I print, expand the fields and the data flow on the next pages?

  Thank you!

  Aaron

  There may be a better way, but when I need to position elements in a past form I use rectangles set no border so that they are invisible and put where I need spaces.

• Expandable text fields

  Hi fellow users, can anyone help with the more fundamental question - how can I get my text field are developing to allow large amounts of text? My form is "format XML dynamic" active, the subform text field ' flowed, the page subform is 'set', I have "multiple pages" checked and also "expand to fit" checked. I use LC v8.2. Appreciate any help. I have included my form - the most basic of forms ever!

  Concerning

  Barum55

  The problem is that the form has been saved as a static PDF file. If save you it in dynamic PDF and enter a lot of text in the field, you get the appearing on the right scroll bar, but it grows as soon as you exit the field. I suspect that you set it on a dynamic XML form in the Preview menu, properties form that works only to see a preview of the PDF file inside the designer. You will need to save it as a PDF dynamic when the form is ready. Your form that has been saved in dynamic PDF format is attached. (You almost had it)

• Text that develop with the expandable text field

  I created a form using Livecycle Designer. I have 2 questions;

  1. how to create repeating fields.

  2 it is the text before and after the extensible text field, how the texts after the text growable field 'navigate' the text growable field. (when the user starts to fill the field expand the text after the demon of the text is expected to grow to the right as the text field.)

  3. how to create the text field in double capture / will reflect whatever the user type in a field in another text field without filling actually twice.

  See attached file

  Will be grateful if anyone can help! Thank you thank you =)

  For Q1 and 2 there is something called a field floating allow you to merge the data in a text block and reflow to remove all spaces in the block. This is available only when the data are merged on the form. This isn't an interactive field. Once the data are merged, it is transformed into a block of static text.

  For Q3, this is a case to assign a value to another.

  FieldNameofTargetField.rawValue = OriginalFieldName.rawValue;

  This code must be run on an event related to the original material. In general the exit event is used for this purpose. So when the user leaves the field, the target field will be updated with what was typed in the original field.

• Y it's expandable text fields?

  Well, I am new to Acrobat and LiveCycle.  I have crossed 9 hours of videos and still can't find an answer to what I know, I should be able to do.  Is it possible on a form to create a text field that has the ability to increase his size versus create a scroll bar, then when you print the form it is not cut and missing?      It is a form of 2 pages for a text box has the possibility, it could divide between the 2 pages.

  The forum software is running a virus scan on the files downloaded before their release to the public.  Until that analysis is performed the attachment will appear as in queue.  Unfortunately, I don't know how many times the scanner works, but I saw attachments in queue for a day or two, so keep checking back once in a while.  Once the queue label is gone, you can download the file.
