JavaScript to adjust the font size for the form field number of characters?

I have a form field that asks you 'full name' (first of all, middle, modified). Big, it is displayed in the upper part of the form. Some names are short and long.

Is there a way of javascript to adjust the font size used in a form field based on the number of characters entered in the field?

that is, if the name entered is Joe Smith, the font size is 30pt, if it's Alexander Hamilton font size is 20pt?

Thank you!

In general, I agree, but the Acrobat help section contains a lot of information. This specific bit of information you will find in this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/pdf-form-field-properties.html#pdf_form_field_proper links

  • the font size for the page numbers in the index

    I use 10 FM, creating an index for a book.  I can adjust the font size for the text down to 9 points, but page numbers are stuck at 12 points.  I can do 9 point individually, but they return to 12 points, when I save the book.  What should I do to get page numbers to stay in the point 9?    The same thing happens if I use the character or paragraph Designer.

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] How to change the font size for all of the components of output within an af:panelBox?

    Hallo,

    I need to change the font size for all the inputTexts, LOVs of outputText, labels, etc. which are in different panelFormLayouts inside a panelBox.

    I tried to define a CSS class and to assign to the panelBox but it has not worked.

    You kindly suggest me an easy way to do this?

    Thank you

    Federico

    Hello

    You can try something like this:

    AF | panelBox::content label, af | panelBox::content, af | panelBox::content entry, af | panelBox::content select {}

    your style

    }

    At least the style of the components you named should be changed. If you need more you can add others.

    Kind regards

    Ruben.

  • How to find the real width of a field (number of characters) for a particular font

    Hello

    Is there a method to find the number of characters that can fit in a field label or a BasicEditField for a particular font.  Font.getAdvance (str) gives the width in pixels.   Based on the width of the screen, I want to calculate the length of the label field number that is, characters that it can take.

    Thank you.

    Well, I did a deeper look at your code. It is a way to walk around a division, true.

    But why not work with integer values?

    int screenWidth = Display.getWidth ();

    int largestCharacterWidth = defaultFont.getAdvance ("W");

    Now you can work with these integers.

    int fieldLength;

    {}

    fieldLength ++;

    } While (filedLength * largestCharacterWidth)<=>

    It would be a little more efficient.

  • How can I change the font in the form fields to fill

    I have already set the fields of a font, but want to change after I test filled in the fields of text in preview mode. but now when I highlight the fields and select properties and select a different font and size, it shows the new selection of fonts but the fields will not change what has already been entered. I tried to change the field and delete the text and Fain same original font type and size is still there

    Hello.

    I guess that these areas use the option 'allow formatting of the rich text.

    Thus, it is not Properties: aspect which resulted in implementing in the form of text, thetext in the form field"' bar (CTRL-E or CMD-E).

    Uncheck the option 'Allow rich text formatting' to return to this behavior.

  • Selection tool will not adjust the forms

    For some reason when you work with illustrator my selection tools won't adjust the forms more. I can move the shapes but I can't resize them or stretch them. If I have a form of rectangle on my selected screen, the hatch which are normally found in the environment are no longer there, also on the edges of the rectangle of the selection tool is not switch to the rotation tool. My selection tool also has a small black square down to the right that I have not noticed before. I have no idea how I got into this mode or other whatnot, but any help to return to normal would be awesome, preferably without resetting all my preferences, thank you!

  • Adjust the text in the form field

    How do you shrink to fit the text in the form field when you fill in a document?

    I use reader XI.

    This document is a form of Government and a protection on it, if it's important.

    It is mainly for the purpose of printing and using the paper document. When you print from the field cut the text and it is impossible to read the entirty of the field.

    Thank you

    Hello jjcola

    You can do that with the Reader. You need Acrobat, please try the free trial http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat.html

  • PDF FORMS - can you assign a font size of a text field greater than 300pt?

    I create forms PDF from InDesign so that a customer can use as a model for in-store signage. It must be a PDF file so that one of their stores can simply change the wording of the text and print it. For smaller signs, I didn't have a problem, open the form in Acrobat and adjusting the text field properties to suit design styles I prescribed. But on signs largest where they must be legible from a distance, I can't get the size of the font to work above 300. For one of the signs I need the police to be as big as 930.

    Does anyone have a solution for this? Is there a way I could use a script to adjust the font size.

    Whatever the solution is, it should be ready to print.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use a script, something like:

    Change the font size of a field

    getField("Text1").textSize = 930;

    but replace "Text1" with the actual name of the field. You can run this in the JavaScript console interactive, or of the mouse event to the top of a temporary button.

  • change font and font size in all text fields

    Hi, I want to change font and font size in all text fields. I tried under the code, but it changes the font size but has not changed the font. can u pls help me. Thank you...

    Police - Courier New

    the size of the font - 10

    Loop through the fields in the document

    for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i ++) {}

    Get a reference to the current field

    var f = getField (getNthFieldName (i));

    Change the properties of certain types of fields

    {Switch (f.type)}

    case 'text ':

    f.textFont = fonts. Courier New;

    f.textSize = 10;

    }

    }

    You have a good reason to want to use Courier New instead of the built-in Courier font? In all cases, you must change one line to:

    Use the built-in font Courier

    f.textFont = fonts. Court;

    -or-

    Use the Courier New

    f.textFont = "CourierNew;

  • Forms to fill out and Distribution: to flatten author text but not the form fields

    OK people, first time posting on this forum, but certainly not my first time looking for answers!  I was quite managed with other issues if I think I myself stumped on this one.

    I created the form fillable 'generic' I'm going to use to distribute to various contacts for some upcoming projects that we will participate in.  Because each project will be different, instead of having to create a new form every time, I hope that with my base model form I can enter various information with the type writing tool and somehow to protect this information to be edit/delete while allowing my contacts to enter their information in the form fields.

    I tried to apply the different variants of security features, but the downside of this is that it does not "distribute" my form so that it can be track with Adobe Tracker.  The only way I can successfully distribute this form for the masses and track responses is if all the security settings of the document are disabled.

    I hope that this logic all how I explain it.  Because the information (not the form fields) on the document sent to the changes each week, I was hoping there would be one easier way other than creating a form to complete for each new.  I'm not an expert of Actions, but it would be possible to create an Action that would "flatten" the text of the type writer only?  That would at least prevent third parties to manipulate or remove information that I placed on the document.

    This free tool based on JavaScript for Acrobat is what you need: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

    The typewriter tool creates a type of text box, so that you would select just this box to flatten.

  • All the form fields do not paste from one file to another

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC on OS 10.10.3.

    I have a .pdf file containing form fields set up on what I want to use it as a 'model '.

    One machine I can copy the form fields and put in a new .pdf file and it works fine, but on any other machine, I tried it on it is not. On the other machines when I copy the fields of the form about 75 percent of stick them in the new .pdf.

    Is there a setting/preference on what I should check or would be - something else causing this problem?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Replacing the old pages with the new in Acrobat is the standard way to do what you want. The fields of forms, links, code, bookmarks, comments, page/document, metadata, etc. are preserved.

  • StructCount bug when deleting a key of the FORM field

    Help, please.  I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.

    When I try to remove a key from the FORM field, the StructCount to the extent of the FORM remains unchanged, even if the key doesn't seem to be within the scope of the FORM any longer.  This is not the case when I create a struct in the scope of VARIABLES.  I enclose the code I used to test this.

    Is this a bug with ColdFusion?  Is there a fix / patch for this?  I use Coldfusion Enterprise version 8,0,0,176276.

    Unfortunately, I don't think you can avoid it as it seems to be a problem with the underlying FormScope class.  You could wrap your alternative 'counting' code in a cffunction.  Which would keep at least the logic in one place:
