• 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.

  Check it out now.

• Limit the number of characters in a text based on the first digit field

  Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

  I want to limit the amount of characters in the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is limited to a number format... no decimals, no comma).

  For example, if the number starts with a 3, I would limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could start with code and what is the best place to add (key combination or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!

  I wrote this code for you that does this. Use it as a typo of the custom field code:

  // Validate that only digits are entered
  if (event.change) {
      event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
  }
  
  // Validate string length if it starts with 3
  if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
      event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
      if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
  }
  

  You can duplicate the second part of it for additional terms, but keep in mind that this code won't let you even remove the first character in the field if the result is not valid.

  For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the beginning because that would result in a number not valid. You can delete all the other numbers, even if and when it is 10 digits or less, then you can remove the departure "2" as well.

• How to change the text for the lightbox 1.0 widget

  I installed a lightbox 1.0 widget that simply shows a larger version of a thumbnail when clicked and then allows for navigation to the next thumbnail with the controls on the image itself.

  How can I add text individualized for each photo when she grows a thumbnail? I am able to go to the presets tab of individualisation and widget before installing, edit the text that is fixed to "photo x of y" by default, but it applies to all images.

  

  I thought I might be able to do by finding the code, once installed, but I couldn't find it.

• How can I get the text size to stay the same size?

  Is it possible to give the text a height fixed and any parameter, the user has their value of text size

  It will not change the size of the text?

  Well, it is possible but only if you use Flash or images instead of text.  But for people on ultra large screens with less than perfect vision, not being is not able to increase the size of the text is cruel.

  If your text is spilling containers or collide in the other elements on the page when the text size is increased, you are doing something fundamentally wrong. Read the Page layout 101

• How to limit the length of the texts on iOS9?

  Hello

  I just worked on why I am required by my mobile / cell phone provider EA.  They charge any text as a picture message / SMS, it is longer than 120 characters?  Does anyone know how to limit the length of the texts / SMS so that it is impossible to send a more 120 characters or create an alert so that you are aware of the number of characters in the text / sms?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Turnus123,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I see that you will have to pay for SMS more than 120 characters.  To help identify messages exceeds this amount, you can activate a number of characters in the message settings.  Simply go to settings > Messages and activate "number of characters".

  Message settings

  Take care.

• How to limit the length of a text field in a dialog box (ADM)

  Hi all

  I need to limit the length of a field in a dialog box (ADM) edit_text, but char_limit doesn't seem to work, it's my code the problem ?

  {
  char_width: 8.
  height: 100,.
  item_id: 'Rete ',.
  type: 'edit_text. "
  Multiline: true,
  char_limit: 5.
  Width: 500,
  }

  If not, maybe I can use events to do the same thing with the onKeyStroke event but I don't know how to use the event in a dialog box (ADM) or if it is still possible...

  Any idea?

  Thank you for your help.

  Phil

  There are two events that can be used to check the length of the text,

  The first is the action event for the text field, which is called when the field loses focus, it is a member of the purpose of dialogue with the same name as the item_id.  This event could also be used to update another field in the dialog box that indicates the number of characters, you may even have a small picture of alert which becomes visible to make it obvious that there is a problem.

  The other event, as already mentioned, is the validate event.  This allows to block the exit from the dialog box and display a popup to alert to the user.

  You will find some examples of dialogs here:

  http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm

  Take a look at the pages resize tool dialog box.  It will give you some ideas of what can be done.

  There is a plug-in Acrobat for creating dialogs here:

  It's a Visual drag and drop Editor.  You can download and use for free for 10 days.

• Limit the length of the text

  I am very new to LiveCycle.

  We have a form that allows users to type text in a box. The text continues beyond the width defined box. We want the text to truncate - we don't want no users to add more text than there is room for.

  When the form is printed, you can not see the text - you see what is in the first part of the box and you will see a '+' at the bottom right. It would be better if the user options were limited and it did not overflow.

  How would I go to do that?

  Hello

  There are two choices.

  The first is the easiest. Select the object and go to object > tab field. Check the box "limited to the visible part.

  

  The other option is to allow the object to grow in size to accommodate an additional. It's more complex.

  I hope that the first option will work for uou.

• Immediate change in the limit of characters of the text field?

  I have a PDF form that I try to do more foolproof. When a user enters his credit card number, I want to check the first two numbers to see which kind of card it is (Visa/MasterCard/American Express) and select the radio suitable for them, as well as limit the number of digits that can be entered in the credit card number field. I found it for the most part, but it seems that change the limit of characters (charLimit) in the card number field is not actually take place until focus leaves the field, then comes. Here is the code I have so far, in the property Custom hits Script on the tab Format for this field:

  event.rc = /^\d*$/.test(event.change);
  
  
  var thisField = event.target;
  var amexTest = /^3[47]/;
  var mcTest = /^5[1-5]/;
  var visaTest = /^4/;
  var firstTwo = event.value.slice(0,2);
  var ccButtons = getField("Credit Card Buttons");
  if (amexTest.test(firstTwo)) {
      thisField.charLimit = 15;
      ccButtons.value = "AMEX";
  } else if (mcTest.test(firstTwo)) {
      thisField.charLimit = 16;
      ccButtons.value = "Master Card";
  } else if (visaTest.test(firstTwo)) {
      thisField.charLimit = 19;
      ccButtons.value = "Visa";
  }
  

  It seems that my code pasted a bit cut off near the end for a reason, but I think that it is enough to show what I want to happen. Because this script is executed at every keystroke, and then after the first two characters are typed, I want to limit the number of characters for what is appropriate for this type of card. This should help a little to what people mistyped their number. However, as I said, the change isn't actually place until focus leaves and enters this area.

  What can I do to make the immediate change?

  I don't think that you can not do it like that, but you don't need to. As you are already using a script of the event in the sequence of keys, you can check the length of the text and then reject the strikes if it is too long.

• How to limit the length of the EditText control?

  All,

  How to limit the length of an EditText to accept ONLY 3 characters.

  The editText.characters property defines a size by default, but the user can always type more than 3 characters in the field.

  I got it!!!

  var win = new Window("dialog", "Limit 3");
  var txtLimit3 = win.add("edittext");
  txtLimit3.characters = 5;
  
  txtLimit3.onChanging = function (){
            howmany = txtLimit3.text;

• How can I limit the number of rows in a text input field?

  I don't want to have it scrolling. For example If the field has four lines the user is writing the fourth lineand give such ENTER or continue type up to are no longer on this line, I don't want to create in the fifth line text field. Il a do?

  An approach here is to limit the number of lines, someone else might have a different approach... "tf" is the name of the instance of the textfield object.

  tf.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, checkNumLines);

  function checkNumLines(evt:Event):void {}
  If (TF.numLines > 4) {/ / deletion of the last typed character}
  TF. Text = String (tf.text).slice(0,tf.length-1);
  }
  }

• Rich Text Editor - limit the characters to type in

  Hello

  I'm having a little trouble, and pehaps can someone help out me.

  I use APEX 4.2

  In the Web page that I have developed, I have a rich text editor, which is intended to be limited by words, rather than characters.

  I installed a single view point, that correctly displays the amount of words being there, that the problem is that I don't know how to do to limit the amount of this words, so when they hit 50 (for example), it stops leaving the user to type more than words.

  Does anyone know how can achieve this?

  Thank you!

  Ok.

  Because nobody could hint on that, and I've tried several things until finally got a solution.

  I will post the solution I did (it's not very clean, but since I have a date deadline and things always work on...):

  First of all, APEX page jscript on charge:

  lEditor = CKEDITOR.instances.Pxx_ITEM;

  lEditor.on ('contentDom', function() {}

  lEditor.document.on ("keyup", Function {}

  wCountLimit (lEditor.getData ());

  });

  });

  lEditor is a global variable of my javascript to html header.

• Limit the first character in the text field to the letter and numbers?

  How can I limit only the first character entered in the text field as the letter H (uppercase) or any number? Thanks in advance.

  function of validateMemberID was a mistake on my part misnamed it. I thought about it...

  At the level of the JavaScript document

  Allow only characters that match the regular expression
  function validatePartialMemberId (value) {}
  return / ^ [H0-9]?\d{0,10}$/.test(value);
  }

  function validateFullMemberId (value) {}
  return / ^ [H0-9]\d{10}$/.test(value);
  }

  function checkMemberId() {}
  Get all of the characters that the user has entered
  var value = AFMergeChange (event);

  Allow the land to be developed
  If (! value)
  return;

  If (! event.willCommit) {}
  Event.RC = validatePartialMemberId (value);
  }
  }

• Limit the length of the result of the LISTAGG?

  Is there a way to limit the length of the result of LISTAGG()?
  
  I have two reasons for this:
  -VARCHAR2 limit of 4000 bztes
  -J' I need only the top 10 items (lines)
  
  The query I use is:

  select count(order_id) numOfOrders, order.store_id,  store.PhoneNr,
         LISTAGG( order_Id, ', ' ) WITHIN group ( ORDER BY Order_Id)  as first_ten_orders
       from t_orders order
       inner join store on store.store_id=order.store_id and (store.PhoneNr is not null )
       where order_status_id in (1,2,6) and order_date!=shipped_date
       group by order.store_id, store.PhoneNr;

  This is a list of orders not shipped, grouped by stores (only those with phone numbers), listing the ID of the base, phone number, number of orders not shipped and the list of command IDS.
  
  I want to restrict the list order ID, for example to the first ten items.
  
  How can I do?
  
  Is to use a function (custom) to cut the result string, but then, I would still have the first problem of VARCHAR2 length overflow in the case of many orders.

  Hello

  Here's one way:

  You can use the analytic DENSE_RANK function to find who are the first 10 order_ids and a CASE expression allows to return the order_id for these 10 and null for all others. LISTAGG, like other aggregate functions ignore NULL values.

  WITH     got_display_order_id     AS
  (
       SELECT       COUNT (order_id)     AS cnt
       ,       order.store_id
       ,       store.phoneNr
       ,       CASE
                  WHEN  DENSE_RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY  order.store_id
                                                         ,            store.phonenr
                                 ORDER BY      order_id
                                  ) <= 10
                  THEN  order_id
              END                           AS display_order_id
       FROM       t_orders     order
       JOIN       store               ON     store.store_id     = order.store_id
                                 AND      store.PhoneNr      IS NOT NULL
       WHERE     order_status_id     IN (1, 2, 6)
       AND       order_date          != shipped_date
       GROUP BY  order.store_id
       ,            store.PhoneNr
       ,       order_id
  )
  SELECT    SUM (cnt)          AS numOfOrders
  ,        store_id
  ,       PhoneNr
  ,       LISTAGG (display_order_Id, ', ' ) WITHIN group (ORDER BY display_Order_Id)
                               AS first_ten_orders
  FROM        got_display_order_id
  GROUP BY  store_id
  ,            PhoneNr
  ;
  

  If you would care to put a bit of data samples (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results desired from these data, then I could test it.
  To simplify the analysis, let's say you want to only see the first order_ids of 2 or 3. Change the results for 10 will be negligible.
