I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

You can use a validation script customized to each text field that looks like:

event.target.textFont = event.value = event.target.defaultValue? font. HelvI: fonts. Helv;

This will make the text italic (Helvetica) when the field value is the value default and regular otherwise. There are other properties that you can use instead, as the field color, border width, background color, text or text size...

    Hi landon39843319,

    You can have fields flowing / more dynamic in a PDF of LiveCycle Designer form, but not in an AcroForm (only created in Acrobat).  LiveCycle Designer is a program completely separated used for are delivered with each purchase Acrobat Acrobat XI has been release.  Now you must buy separately.  But LiveCycle Designer PDF forms are wrapped in a shell of PDF so that they will be displayed and can be filled in the free Acrobat Reader DC and earlier versions.

    If you do this in Acrobat with an AcroForm, you have as much information typed into a field that the user wants, but he's going to show everything on the screen.  Displays only the text that fits into the field, then a + sign will appear in the field to indicate that there is more text in this field, you can scroll down to read.  You can also set the automatic font size so that as more text is entered in the police becoming smaller and smaller to adjust the text, but that is usually not desirable for many forms.

    Hope this helps,

    Dimitri

  • What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill in the form (the fields that you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here is the answer - assuming you use Acrobat Pro and someone will open the PDF with the Acrobat Reader 9 minimum and more:

    Tools > Protection > encrypt< encrypt="" with="">

    Select YES to change security.

    Opens in a new window:

    Do not select NOT open the Document (or will require a password to open the document.)

    SELECT: Permissions (check the box next to ' Restrict editing and printing of the document. ")

    Change the following 2 settings in the drop-down list box:

    Printing allowed: select high resolution

    Changes allowed: select commenting on, fill in the fields on the form and signature of signature fields
    Selected leave: "enable access text for playback devices to screen for people with visual impairments.

    Change password Permissions (insert a password)

    Leave all the other settings alone in 'Options '.

    OK - OK

    Again enter the Permissions password (the one you entered above)

    OK - OK

    Save the PDF file to apply security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the title of the document]

  • Creating web forms with Acrobat

    Is it possible to create a form with Acrobat and host it on my own server and not on Adobe?

    You need an embed code when you use a web form created in FormsCentral, but because FormsCentral doesn't host your PDF forms as it does your web forms, you do not use an embed code. Just place somewhere on your site and link to it as you would for any other type of content on your site.

  • Present the online PDF form button does not work for some users

    Two online forms, I created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 work very well for me. But when some of the users of my site clicking on the Submit button in a form, it just flashes and then does nothing. It's a standard transmission with a Mailto link button. The documents are PDF Version 1.7, and I use Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4. Suggestions for troubleshooting would be great.

    This form is activated with the form of rights to the player.  If the full PDF is presented, then the PDF file must be Reader enabled to operate the player.

    Another problem is that sending email is entirely dependent on the user's system.  There must be a local e-mail client installed and registered with the system.  Internet mail will not work.  This is the most likely issue.  Althougth there are other things that could be the problem.  You can consider using the Acrobat.com to distribute your forms.  This method gets around the question for most users.

    Other issues that could cause this problem are the version of Acrobat/Reader users as well as any type of system/security configuration funky.

  • Manual large editions with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents?

    I publish major textbooks with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents? If I publish a small section of the manual then 2nd level entries appear as eruptions under the chapter name, but if I publish the manual in its entirety then level 2 headings are not at all. I would like them to appear as the eruptions in the table of contents, but I need to publish the manual as a whole in order to keep the cross references. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I think that this would make clearer - and it would skip and tables of contents of books under.

  • Create a form with AutoFill and locked text fields.

    I have created a 24 page pdf form.  I have a shape on the first page, which contains all the information scattered on next pages 24.  Most of the stuff is redundant.  I would use the pages for auto-complete.  I know that you can name the text field the same, but the problem I have is.  I would like to auto-fill text fields must be blocked at this time there.  So that the tab through forms, these fields cannot be changed accidentally.  Also has been done.  When using excel, you can have the cell/text field search another cell and get this info.  But Adobe doesn't like this.  At least is not that I can find.  How can I automatically fill these fields then the future fields through the locked document?

    Thank you

    You can not give them the same name. You can do something like this, however: that you have a field named Text1 the editable value and a field called Text1Copy where you want to have the same value, but it is locked.

    Text1Copy the value read-only under its properties - general tab, then switch to the tab calculate and enter this code:

    Event.Value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString;

    After that, whenever the Text1 value will be changed, it will be reflected in Text1Copy.

  • How to create a form with Acrobat DC with which it is possible to automatically fill in fields?

    I would like to create a form where people should fill in their name (for example). This name is repeated several times in this doc. The person who fills in should complete only his name in the first text field, and others, which must contain the same text, should be filled automatically. I can't find a way to do it. I hope someone understands what I'm trying to explain :-)

    Simply copy and paste your field. The fields with the same name will be
