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.

  • How can I activate a check box if the data have been entered in a different text field?

    Hello. I would use four check boxes on a form, each of which will enable (check) if the data have been entered in four text fields of form on a different page in the same form.

    Example:

    Page 1 will have a question like... How many apples did you eat last month? "Text1" = 3

    So, given that the user has responded to 3 in the field 'text1', "checkbox1" must now be verified on page 2.

    ... and so on for the other three.

    Note: The answers to the questions will be like a number. If the user enters 0 (zero), then I don't want the boxes to activate it. So, any greater than zero response will check the checkbox.

    Follow-up to question...

    Is it possible for a text field quite different form whether visible or not visible (default read-only text) based on the status of each check box mentioned above?

    Example:

    "checkbox1" will have a field of text next to it named "date1" with a date hidden. If "checkbox1" is checked (because of the above), then the date will be visible.

    ... and so on for the other three.

    Thank you very much!

    -You can use something like this as the custom of your text field validation script:

    if (event.value=="3") this.getField("checkbox1").checkThisBox(0, true);
    

    -Yes, but you shouldn't make it dependent on the box to check, but integrate it in the script above, like this:

    if (event.value=="3") {
        this.getField("checkbox1").checkThisBox(0, true);
        this.getField("date1").display = display.visible;
    } else {
        this.getField("date1").display = display.hidden;
    }
    

    If you also want to uncheck the checkbox where the value of the text field is not 3 then double online #2 but with the false instead of true value in the else block.

    I am trying to import an excel file / saved as 'Tab Delimited Text' to a PDF file with existing text files - I can get the 1st row of copy, but when I try to add the 2nd row, it changes all copy. Anyone know how I can add rows to copy in a pdf file? Maybe what I need to change the properties of the text field to?

  • 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 carve, and concatenate the two text fields in a form

    Hi people,

    Newbie here... have two fields in a form: FirstName and LastName.    Want to have these appear later as: name, first name.

    For example: 'Rick' "Stockstill" should later manifest as: 'Stockstill, Rick' with a comma separating the names and trailing blanks removed.

    It is a piece of cake in Excel, but have not figured out how to do the same with Acrobat.    My first try at a script looks like this:

    (Recipient.rawValue = trim (LastName.rawValue) +","+ FirstName.rawValue);

    The field 'Recipient' is a standard text field which I am filling using the property to 'calculate '.  The good news is that I get no error message, but the bad news is that the field recipient does not get filled.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    At the latest,

    OK, in this case you can use this code as the custom recipient field calculation script:

    event.value = trim(this.getField("LastName").valueAsString) + ", " + trim(this.getField("FirstName").valueAsString);
    
    function trim(s) {
        return s.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,"");

  • How to use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection in a drop-down list?

    Greetings,

    I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I'm trying to find a way to add some functionality to basic Automation to a form of Adobe.  I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" which will contain about 7 possible selections.  When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the field of text (called "Hospital_Address") under the drop-down list fill with the corresponding address to the selection.  I have the "Hospital_Address" text field set up for multiple lines and want the address to have a line break between the address and the city/province/postal code.

    For example, if the user has selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:

    123 main St

    Anytown, CA 12345

    Help or you can provide examples would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to set the focus to a text field.

    Hello
    I have a form that contains 5 textfields. When the form is loaded, by default, the cursor should be on the second field. How can I concentrate on the text field.

    Can someone let me know how to focus on the desired TextField. ?

  • How to limit the length of a text field in a dialog box (ADM)

    Hi all

    I need to limit the length of a field in a dialog box (ADM) edit_text, but char_limit doesn't seem to work, it's my code the problem ?

    {
    char_width: 8.
    height: 100,.
    item_id: 'Rete ',.
    type: 'edit_text. "
    Multiline: true,
    char_limit: 5.
    Width: 500,
    }

    If not, maybe I can use events to do the same thing with the onKeyStroke event but I don't know how to use the event in a dialog box (ADM) or if it is still possible...

    Any idea?

    Thank you for your help.

    Phil

    There are two events that can be used to check the length of the text,

    The first is the action event for the text field, which is called when the field loses focus, it is a member of the purpose of dialogue with the same name as the item_id.  This event could also be used to update another field in the dialog box that indicates the number of characters, you may even have a small picture of alert which becomes visible to make it obvious that there is a problem.

    The other event, as already mentioned, is the validate event.  This allows to block the exit from the dialog box and display a popup to alert to the user.

    You will find some examples of dialogs here:

    http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm

    Take a look at the pages resize tool dialog box.  It will give you some ideas of what can be done.

    There is a plug-in Acrobat for creating dialogs here:

  • How to copy link to display the text in the Clipboard in the iphone?

    Situation: I get an email of delivery notification to an online store with the clickable link that displays the tracking number.

    Example: I see a link with the text "1zA56300" which is my tracking number.

    What I want to do is to select the text to display link, copy it and paste it into my shipment tracking application (I use the app delivery) to allow the application to track packages. However, my iPhone copy the URL instead of the tracking number.

    For example: copy the url http://shippingcompany.com/reallylonglink to the Clipboard. The request of delivery cannot analyze this link is useless to me.

    Is there a way to have the Apple mail for iOS copies the text that is displayed on the screen instead of the underlying URL?

    Hello AxeBox360,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    Looks like you want to copy the text of a link rather than the link itself.  Be able to copy and paste what you need can save a lot of extra keys and helps to ensure accuracy.

    To copy the text, rather than the underlying connection, is to tap on the word before or after the link, select copy, and then move the selector so that it contains the text of the link.  This will then copy the text and not the underlying link and allows you to paste the text where you need.

    See you soon!
