If the content of the text box is null or empty, how to identify that?

Hi all

I use a script to read data from each text box in a document, but my document has a few empty empty textbox which I can't understand because they produce errors.

Marie rosine

myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

for (i = 0; mydoc.stories.length; i ++)

{

monarticle var = mydoc.stories [i];

If (monarticle [i] == null) / / need to coding here?

{

Alert ("text box is empty")

}

}

Try this,

stories of var = app.documents [0].stories.everyItem () .getElements ();

for (var i = 0; i)<>

{if(Stories[i].contents=="")}

var containers = stories [i] .textContainers;

Containers [0]. Select();

Alert ("text box is empty");

}

}

  • JavaScript, where the text in the text box has trigger a text in the text box B?

    Hello

    I tried to find a code in which a text in the text box A trigger text in the text box B.  I am currently using a code that works when I type text on the form itself.  However, when I have the pdf file, run through a program that fills in advance the text in A text box, it does not trigger text in the text box B.

    I use this code:

    If (' event.value! = "" ") this.getField("Text_Box_B").value = 20

    I don't know if it is something I have change because A text box has a text prefilled?

    Why all the added between brackets and parentheses? It is not necessary.

    In addition, you use the wrong operator in your statement so. The JS comparison operator is is, not =. This is the assignment operator.

    Use this code:

    If (this.getField("Text Box A") .valueAsString is"" ") this.getField("Text_Box_B").value ="20 ";

  • 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.

  • Change the display of the text box

    I need to create a text box that only shows "*" when your typing but needs a correct answer of 1234. Try to make it look as real as the direct environment, I found a captivate module that does this, but the person who created left so I could ask him. Looking at the properties of the text box I can't understand how they have it just show that "*" and not what is actually typed.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Hi Kevin

    When you look at the properties of the text entry box, click the Options tab. Once you do this, you should see a check box labeled "Password". If you click to place a check mark here, everything that is typed is reflected to the user as an asterisk (*).

    I hope that helps a little... Rick

  • Table of contents - power of the text box

    Hello

    I recently started using Adobe InDesign and love it! I have a question around the table of contents. At the beginning of each chapter, we have a simple page with a box in it. (each chapter has about 10 pages). The intention is to have the content of the text become the title of the chapter box and have it displayed in the Table of content. The text box itself has several characters of new line in. When I generate the table of contents, InDesign creates several entries in the Table of contents (one per each new line in the text box). So my question is... Is there a way to specify that the content of the entire text box appears as an entry in the Table of contents. (I'd like to update the table of contents by hand to avoid any errors).

    I appreciate any help in this matter.

    Thank you!!

    So, you say that, break forced line and you want that all the rows in the table of contents? I think that I misunderstood.

    If this is the case you're going to the trouble of formatting of the table of contents, as the forced line break will carry you through to the table of contents (you can change the colours using styles or nested GREP and those will not set if you use a different style in the table of contents list itself).

  • Extract the contents of the text box

    Hello

    I am trying to automate a process PDFing complex. A single indesign document should appear as several PDFs named, which fall into a number of folders that also have specific names. If I place the PDF names and folders in text boxes on the pasteboard of indesign pages they can be recovered by a script.

  • CS2 erase content and the text box

    I use CS2 on Windows. I have a file of 30 pages with the linked text boxes on each page with anchored objects. I would remove the first 10 pages, but NOT the text of these areas of 10 text wrap on the remaining pages. Is there a way to delete the text boxes AND their content before deleting these pages, that I don't have to highlight all of the text on them, remove it, then delete the text boxes themselves?

    Thank you

    Lloyd

    Ah ha! You need a script! I use CS2 and I only found on the scripts - you can find them on the CD-ROM or get you it from here (scroll to CS2.) Put them in the folder scripts in your presets folder, open the palette scripts (on Windows) and here they are. There are two useful in your goal - we split the history in separate text boxes, one pops up a text box in the story. Just select your text box and double-click the script.

    (Of course, once you cut your text out of the herd area you can remove it).

  • How to make a 'active' phone number in the text box?

    I'm testing in 10.1 and 10.2, using the following QML simulators.  What I'm trying to understand is that 'rules' the text box used to set the active text, including phone numbers.  All I'm trying to do is to put a phone number in the text box that my users the opportunity to click on it to the phone.  But I can't make it work, or more exactly, may not get the phone number to become active.  .

    As you can see that I tried a variety of number formats, some specific UK because I was afraid that he may use country specific recognition, but nothing I try works.

    On the other hand the address which I also put in the TextArea is 'hot' and started the map.

    FYI, the client is running in Canada on Q10s using 10.1.  The numbers are also completely fictitious, if they work, then that is a stroke of luck.

                    TextArea {
                        inputMode: TextAreaInputMode.Text
                        editable: false
                        content.flags: TextContentFlag.ActiveText

  • How can I make the text in all the boxes down following objects when the text box is changed from 1 to 2 lines?

    Hi people Muse.

    I'm faced with a problem of text box:

    At the bottom of my page, I have the title "ACTING ERMUTIGEN ZUM". Without any manual adjustment, I was happy to see that the text box pushes down the following objects as soon as the title Exchange of 1 to 2 lines. Point out clearly: I didn t add any point to stop or change any additional settings to achieve this, it just happened automatically and that's exactly what I want to happen.

    To my confusion, I can´t find a way to apply this behavior for the second title 'COURAGE OBSERVES UND LOSEN. It s on the same page. When I drag the breakpoint controller in the design-time view from the left to the breakpoint 900 pxor do it in the browser after export of the site, the title changes from 1 to 2 lines, as assumed, , but then the next Don t objects react and stay in the same place they stay when the title takes only 1 line.

    You will find the site on businesscatalyst:

  • Cannot mount the frame to the text box

    Hello!

    I'm in InDesign CS6, on a 2011 iMac, and I often see this problem when I try to make a block of text to its content.

    Initially, it looks like this:

    by default 2015-08-20 at 22.14.53 PM.png

    Then I click on "mount the frame to the content" in the menu object, or by double-clicking on the handle at the bottom right of the text box.

    And then I get this thing:

    by default 2015-08-20 at 22.15.01 PM.png

    The police is Montserrat (free fonts, you can install it and see how it feels on your side).

    Editing is perfect on the left and right and on the bottom, but there's a margin of 10 pixels between the top of the text and the text box.

    It's really annoying when I try to align the text boxes with objects horizontally, because I then create outlines for text boxes.

    Given that this does not happen always, only with certain fonts, I am led to think that the height of the letters is not correctly calculated within the font file? I'll ask the proponent to the police for help as well, unless there is something like a value of high indentation of the hidden default page that I'm not aware of, or a solution of workaround that someone will report.

    Thank you

  • Understand the text box

    I'm trying to understand and master the elements of text boxes in Muse.

    Why some text boxes seem to have a minimum size (sometimes) and cannot be resized to fit the text content?

    What does the line in dotted lines in the text box?  It seems to be linked to the entire text box, but I don't see how or why.

    It does not appear in certain text boxes?

    Why some text boxes have no effect on the BG Image.  for example when... Add text in an INFOCYCLER widget, text size box Exchange (even if there seems to be plenty of room for more text) and the bg image is contained in the size of the changes.

    There are many things that will come into force when we add the blocks of text that contains text, such as font, size, spacing between the characters, space after/before, space of text frame, text etc. frame border.

    The dotted line indicates a height for the text frame, if you drag the shorter than the text frame, the dotted line will appear. Muse inserts a style property called min-height in the code that tells the browser which frame should be less high and can develop in height, if the content he dictates.

    Text pixellisent if we use system so fonts on the browser, the text will be rendered as an image.
