    In this case go to tools - prepare the form, right-click the field and select Properties, then Options.

    Look if the boxes 'Limit characters X' or 'Comb of characters X' is selected. If Yes, select not them, and then click OK.

    Leave the form editing mode, and then try again.

  • PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

    I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

    Here's the problem:

    When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

    Thank you!

    Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

    Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

    Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

    There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

  • PDF form only on the web

    I created a PDF form to a customer. The form was sent by e-mail to a group of people, supplemented by themselves and emailed back. I have combined all completed in a single PDF forms, and the combined PDF has been posted on their web site.

    The client has made this comment:

    "Next time I want to a project only on the web more dynamic and socially networked."

    Can someone clarify what the customer meant by that?

    Is it possible to do what that customer wants using a PDF form or would be something different necessary?

    The data is the same, whether by e-mail or web script. If you are using a secure server, so you are able to have better control the security of the form and the data (especially if personal data or photos are included). With the FDF Toolkit or other processes, you can manage the data that is sent (no need to send the PDF just as data can be imported to the form to get the same result). I'm not familiar with sending photos, this is apparently a new feature and may not work with earlier versions of Acrobat or Reader. Maybe it's you want to put the result in a totally different format of PDF files, but merge together in a more useful way that does not include what you would have with the form input, and others. In addition, when you merge forms you must flatten first so the data does not get jumbled.

    OK, a response vague, but I think that the essence is there.

  • How to add and delete a hidden gross a table while checking and unchecking the box?

    I want to add an array of 1 * 1 or saw just a cell with the text field, when I check the box and remove the same when I uncheck the checkbox. I have tried almost everything, but doesn't show is not the correct result. Can someone Guide please?

    Hello shahnisarg28,

    I think you can get what you want by simply using the Action Builder provided by the program.

    Make you it visible to the cell when the checkbox is enabled by:

    1. you right-click the checkbox, select Actions - Add Action.

    2. you set

    Condition: When the check box is selected

    Result: (show or hide an object) = the visibility of visible cell salt

    You do the hidden or invisible cell when the checkbox is unchecked by:

    1. you right-click the checkbox, select Actions - Add Action.

    2. you set

    Condition: When the checkbox is unchecked

    Result: (show or hide an object) = set the cell visibility to hidden.

    Tell me if that works for you.

    Kind regards

    David.

  • Change options of text fields PDF form open in the PLAYER on a Mac.

    I created a PDF using Adobe X PRO form. All fields are DISABLED for the Options/Properties / "scroll long text. I save and distribute the form as a "reader extended pdf/activate additional features' so can be saved and returned using the PLAYER.

    When a Mac user opens the form in Adobe READER, ALL text fields change to scroll. When he returned the form for me, each text field, signing even and fields date, are modified to scroll the text.

    What happens during the transition from PC to MAC?

    Preview is the default on Mac PDF Viewer. It should never be used with PDF Forms. Let them know that they must use Adobe Reader. Provide a link or a URL where it can be downloaded and let them know that it's free.

    There are things you can do to make it work not in the preview, but it's some scripts. If you are interested in this approach, post again.

  • PDF form: fill in the field with the value of another field

    Hello

    I have a PDF form that one of our employees has to be completed on a regular basis.

    There is a 'product' - text field, which is present on the form several times, which will contain the same information.

    From now on, my colleague has fill all these these one by one manually. But with the copy - paste, it doesn't take more than a few seconds.

    However, to facilitate work a little, I want to it to be able to simply fill out one of the fields (can be a specific, must not be dynamic) and all the other 'product' - fields automatically takes the value of the field of this first.

    How can I accomplish this?

    I noted the possibility of JavaScript controls.

    I am familiar with basic JavaScript, however never used it for PDF files.

    Any help and pointers would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    This isn't a problem with script. Just give each field of the same name. Once the field names are the same, a change in one will be to another. For some reason that it does not work with standard HTML forms, probably the reason why you ask.
