How to make a checkbox in InDesign?

How to make a checkbox in your text in InDesign?

It depends on your intention. Do you want the appearance of a checkbox or you design a PDF form which will include a direct and interactive checkbox?

If it's just the appearance, of many special fonts include glyphs to represent things like check boxes, or you can use the drawing tools in InDesign or another application to create a graph representing a square and the box.

If you need a lively, interactive checkbox and you use InDesign CS6 or later, you can add a box to your document by using the rectangle tool to draw a square, then convert it to button at the bottom of the Panel buttons and forms (window > Interactive > buttons and formulas). Then select the check box in the Type: menu at the top of the Panel buttons and forms, to activate the other options to check.

  • How to make a checkbox address autopopulate fields in Acrobat Pro?

    I have created a form where the user would fill in their contact information. (address, phone, e-mail, etc.).

    Then, they will have to fill in their shipping address too.  I would like to have a checkbox so when activated, it would be autopopulate the forwarding address in the fields with the coordinated field entries (copy).

    It seems that I have to add javascript somehow, but nothing I found on the forum has helped so far.

    You will need to write custom JavaScript to perform the task, and you will need to know the exact form field names.

    For the box, you'll need to encode a mouse action run JavaScript and you need to add the JavaScript code. The code must check the value of the check box and fill in the fields or clear fields. Without more details, it is hard to tell you how to program your specific form. If the design of the form, I would have used the names of field Manager for the invoice and shipping fields. So we can have "invoice.company", "invoice.contact", 'invoice.address', 'invoice.city', 'invoice.province', 'invoice.postal', 'invoice.phone', 'invoice.fax' and 'invoice.email'. The fields of the expedition would have a highest level of "shipping" name and the same children field names.

    A possible script could then be:

    var oInvoice = this.getField ("invoice"); get the top-level field;
    var aInvoice = oInvoice.getArray (); make table of child fields;
    order var = this.getField ("shipping");
    var aShipping = oShipping.getArray ();
    Console.println (this.getField (Event.Target.Name) .value);
    If (this.getField (event.target.name) .value == 'Yes') {}
    for {(i in aInvoice)
    Copy children Bill in the fields of shipping;
    aShipping [i] .value = aInvoice [i] .valueAsString;
    }
    oShipping.readonly = true; do shipping readonly;
    } else {}
    oShipping.readonly = false; clear readonly
    this.resetForm ([oShipping.name]) / / reset table shipping fields;
    }

    Will be much easier and not messed with BC script if you on the payment form. Given that the form on the next page is a web form, you can add the checkbox field and all that manually and easily add that in so that the form may not be submitted without agreeing.

    I'm practicing InDesign using free templates of magazine and I came across a problem that I can't solve.  Is it possible for me to take pages of magazines of model A and some of them move in model B?  In theory, I think this should be easy, but when you are a beginner (as I am), it is not so easy... simplified instructions would be really useful.

    1. Beware of trying to reduce the size of the PDF file. You can reduce the quality. Printers expect large files and must be prepared for the files in gigabytes, not megabytes.

    2. to reduce the size, the main thing is the graphics. You can experiment with the PDF export settings, for example to reduce the resolution or use lower quality compression. But why do that if you have not...

Any help out there is how to make an invitation in Indesign, but now how to make 2 copies on a single page that someone else ie the customer can add their own names.

  • How to make an html5 flipping book with adobe

    Normally we would make a book flipping in Dreamweaver, but it looks like that's not possible in Dreamweaver CM³. Anyone know how to make a book of reversal with an Adobe program? We have already tried making it with Indesign, but the SWF document is very large (43 MB)...

    There is nothing built in DW who can do that I've never seen.

    Personally, if I was ever forced to use an effect to turn page by a client, I probably just use a third-party script like this: Turn.js: the page flip effect in HTML5

    If you use a program of Adobe and exit is not for the web, you can use InDesign for export to a file, Flash flip book.

    Since InDesign...

    1. Choose file > export (Ctrl + E)

    2. choose the Flash (SWF) Player (* swf)
    3. click on save
    4. in the dialogue window, make sure "Include Interactive Page Curl" is checked

  • How to make a PDF export to HTML

    Hi all!

    I am currently trying to export a PDF to epub.

    EPUB is what I understand sort of html. So if you get a good export in format html you are sorted.

    I use XI Acrobat pro, but if you have another suggestion I'm all ears.

    After handled html or PDF I use calibre to export to epub.

    There are a lot of problems and if you know the answer to the only one I would be very grateful!

    My pdf have tables, images with text (not embedded in the image) and boxes with another background with text in them. but above all, it is a two-column document.

    Issues related to the:

    1. the images in the PDF are made up of elements of text and photo. Is there a way to convert text and image into a png image so that they don't get screwed up in the conversion?         I can select all, but I do not know if I need to export all, and then put everything back that would be a hassle because the pdf has a lot of pages.

    2. the tables do not play nice. I have in my pdf document of the pictures that end up as a vertical line when I export the document in html and txt or try to directly convert pdf to epub form. is it possible to edit tables in acrobat so that they are exported as a table when you export as html?

    3. sometimes the my document does not export to a txt properly. is there a way to tell acrobat in what order the text must be exported?

    4. it is a little close to the previous question: re-flow, is possible to re-flow a pdf to go in two columns to one and tell acrobat in what order should be made. This is where the photos should go and tables and so forth.

    5 to get a round formatting issues is there a way to export only the text and the images and tables.

    6 fonts: my pdf consists of several fonts. Is there a way to select all the text in a document based on the color of font or fonts then I would be able to change this text in the font that I want.

    7. I have a table of contents at the beginning of the file with links to the different sections of the pdf file, but I don't know how to make these useful. I would like that they as bookmarks. is there a good process for this.

    Thanks for your help!

    People have made this mistake for almost 20 years, since Acrobat 1.0. The error is: I want to convert 'X' to 'Y '. I can convert PDF and PDF 'X' on 'Y' - job done! As you've found, it's a terrible way to work. The fact is that most just PDF files do not contain the required information. For example, most PDF files have tables. They have some text here, a text here - a few lines. We see a table, Acrobat (and other software) struggles. We see columns, Acrobat can see just text and lines. Similarly, we know that is an image, it's his legend, which is a title and is a page number. And so on.

    Everything you did the PDF from - go back to that. If you have any earlier version, then convert the PDF into Word or InDesign - something that makes epub - and begin the long process of creating the structure and flow you need.

  • How to make a user able to connect only once? and how do I restrict a user authorized to vote only 15 candidates and the brand of vote count?

    Hello

    I'm just doing my project which is the voting system. So my first question is how to make a user or a voter can connect once only using their username and password? After that they brought their vote, they can not be able to connect to a vote. Here, the user name, I replace it with IC and the password I can replace the ID (student ID). Here is my code for the connection:

    <?php
    if(isset($_POST["submit"])){
    $user=$_POST['IC'];
    $pass=$_POST['ID'];
    
    
    $con=mysql_connect('localhost','root','pass') or die(mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db('ses') or die("Cannot select DataBase");
    
    
    $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM voters WHERE IC='".$user."' AND ID='".$pass."'" );
    $numrows=mysql_num_rows($query);
    if($numrows!=0)
    {
    while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
    {
    $dbusername=$row['IC'];
    $dbpassword=$row['ID'];
    
    
    }
    
    
    if($user == $dbusername && $pass == $dbpassword )
    {
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['sess_user']=$user;
    $_SESSION['sess_pass']=$pass;
    
    
    
    
    /*Redirect browser*/
    header("Location: main.php");
    }
    }else{
    echo "Invalid IC Number and ID Number!";
    }
    }
    ?>
    
    

    for the second question is how to limit a voter to vote only 15 candidates and counting of the vote that voters go? When the vote is made with 15, then the popup script appears informed that the elector make themselves with their vote.for this I use box as a method of voting and each checkbox have the id which is the primary key. I appoint the id as 'No' and set it as the primary key. Here is the code for voting:

    <?php
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "root";
    $password = "pass";
    $dbname = "ses";
    
    
    // Create connection
    $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
    // Check connection
    if ($conn->connect_error) {
         die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    }
        
    $sql = "SELECT No, Calon, ID, Jurusan, Image FROM candidates";
    $result = $conn->query($sql);
    
    if(isset($_POST['vote'])) {
        
    //get the ID value from the radio button form field and store in an array.
    $update_vote = $_POST['candidate_id'];
    
    //loop through the array and update the database
    foreach ($update_vote as $value) {
    $vote_sachin = "UPDATE candidates SET Undi=Undi+1 WHERE No=".$value."";
    $run_sachin = mysqli_query($conn, $vote_sachin);
    
    
        }
    
      header("Location:http://localhost/VotingSystem/");
    }
    
    
    ?>
    
    
    <form method="post" id="form1" action="main.php">
    <?php
    if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    echo "<table border >
    
    
    <tr>
    <th>NO</th>
    <th>Candidate</th>
    <th>INFO</th>
    <th>Vote</th>
    </tr>";
    // output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo "<tr>
    <td align='center'>" . $row["No"]. "</td>
    <td><img src=" . $row['Image'] . " width=120px height=150px></td>
    <td><br/>" . $row["Calon"]. " <br/>" . $row["ID"]. " <br/>" . $row["Jurusan"]. "<br/></td>
    <td align='center'><input type='checkbox' name='candidate_id[]' value='".$row['No']."'></td>
    </tr>";
    }
        echo "<tr><td></td><td></td><td></td>
        <td><input type='submit' name='vote' value='VOTE'</td>
        </tr>";
    echo "</table>";
    
    
    } else {
    echo "0 results";
    }
    $conn->close();
    
    
    ?>
    
    

    I hope someone can help me with this because I'm still trying to learn this by my own php code...

    Thank you

    # 1, add a Boolean column in the table (VoteSubmitted) and the value initially FALSE to follow if the user has already voted.  Check this field when they connect. If the field is set to TRUE, displays a message and cannot vote again. When they get it vote, update the field from FALSE to TRUE.

    # 2, I would like to do this with javascript to allow them to select all their candidates and submit once. You could start with something like this:
