Multiline text field where does not align data entry

I ran into this many times and I have not be able to find a solution. I work with an existing paper form that has a descriptive text on the left that partially fills a line. At the end of the sentence, the line is half-filled and the entrance area starts immediately thereafter. The continuous form then allow text entry, but now line 2 is entirely justified to the left. Here is an attempt of a Visual:

Tell us a lot about yourself: _

________________________________________________

________________________________________________

If I put a large box on all three lines that is framed on the left, then the seizure highlighted area covers the text of the question, and the values that are entered in the box to write on top of the text.

If I put the box on the right, any input is limited and seems weird when printing.

I have always just made two text boxes. A short and the other who will the width and the text wrapping. I hate to run, but I wanted to make sure that my question has been understood. Thanks for the ideas you have there

It is the only possible solution.

  • Slider custom text field (Cap) does not appear

    All;

    I created a custom text field based on the standard text field, changes work fine (really just a custom height and width and a border).  The problem is the method of painting which seems to remove the cap of the field when it gets the focus.  To be clear the carret never shown at all.

    public class CustomText extends TextField //cutom text field width
    {
        //Custom Height and Width in Pixels
        final static int textwidth=125;
        final static int textheight=25;
    
         CustomText()
         {
         super(); // Call the default constructor    
    
         //Border for text fields
         XYEdges padding = new XYEdges(5, 5, 5, 5); //space between box and border
         Border theborder = BorderFactory.createSimpleBorder(padding, Border.STYLE_SOLID);
    
         //Assign the border to the object
         this.setBorder(theborder);
         }
    
         public void onFocus( int direction )
         {
            super.onFocus( direction ); //invoke parent procedure
            invalidate(); //mark for redraw
         }
    
         public void onUnfocus()
         {
        super.onUnfocus(); //invoke parent procedure
        invalidate(); //mark for redraw
         }
    
         //Override the layout with the custom Width and Height
         protected void layout(int width, int height)
         {
            super.layout(textwidth,textheight);
            setExtent(textwidth,textheight);
    
         }      
    
        //Override the display message such that no message is displayed when the field is full
        protected void displayFieldFullMessage()
        {
        }
    
        //Override the default paint method to call the super class constructor and then assign the border
        protected void paint(Graphics graphics)
        {
           // int prevColor = graphics.getColor(); //Save Previous Color
            graphics.setBackgroundColor(Color.LIGHTGRAY); // Set to Gray
            graphics.clear(); // Clear for redraw
            super.paint(graphics); //Force Redraw of Object
          //  graphics.setColor(prevColor); //restore for cursor paint
    
        }
    
    };
    

    In the paint in the first and last method lines that are commented out were a soloution that I tried after reading on this subject.  Something along the lines of the restoration of the default color, but unfortunately without success.   Any ideas would be more useful

    Thank you!

    Quick thoughts:

    (a) to remove the requirement to substitute paint by setting the background a Color.LIGHTGRAY using the base class

    (b) you put on the field by using this:

    Super.Layout (TextWidth, TextHeight);

    If you then do the following:

    setExtent (textwidth, textheight);

    you are likely to confuse the field.  If you still want to use the entire height and use the full width and then try to deal with it in the Style, that is, replace this:

    Super(); Call the default constructor

    with this

    Super(TextField.USE_ALL_HEIGHT |) TextField.USE_ALL_WIDTH); Call the default constructor

    (c) why you override onFocus and onUnfocus?  I would like to delete these if you do not have anything specific to these methods.

    Make these changes, and you'll have a more simple TextField.  See if these changes will solve the problem of the caret too.

  • Text field calculates does not correctly

    In Acrobat Pro XI.

    I created an order form which does not calculate correctly. If you refer to the image below (sorry for the bad calligraphy), the items are marked as follows:

    F1 - Visible, Fillable field by the guest. Guest selects the quantity demanded

    F2 - hidden field, simplified field notation (price in this case)

    F3 - hidden field (now visible to the post), the value is the PRODUCT of F1, F2

    CT1 - hidden field (now visible for this post), the value is the SUM of all selected items in the category (there are several categories in the form)

    ST1 - hidden field (now visible for this post), the value is the TOTAL/subtotal of all categories

    Of after the news above, ST1 should correspond to the same thing as CT1, but for some reason any the first line (braised short ribs) does not calculate in ST1. On the screenshot 2, the first element is not selected, but ST1 value has increased the amount of F2, while the value of CT1 is correct.

    Altogether, there are more than 300 + calculations which 99% of them work properly and with similar formulas. I deleted and then recreated ST1, but that because of the other categories to have errors in the calculations. I have created other forms to similar problems and can't find a determination to my questions.

    Any help will be MUCH appreciated.

    This is often due to a wrong field calculation order. How do you define this depends on which version of Acrobat you are using, but for Acrobat 11 you would select:

    Tools > forms > change

    and then: tasks > other tasks > set field calculation order

  • LiveCycle ES2 - text field empty multiple lines deleting data entry for clients

    Hello

    I use a Java Script to add several lines to an empty text field.  If the customer type in the text field replaces the lines.  If the client prints only the form, they remain the lines.  The problem I have is if the customer type in the domain and must then go back and change the text, as long as they tab or click on the text field in the because the text disappears.

    I didn't write that code, and I don't know how to get back in touch with the person who did it.

    DRF1. SubForm.field_name::Initialize - (JavaScript, client)

    this.rawValue = "\n________________________________\n\n________________________________\n\n______________ __________________\n\n________________________________\n";

    DRF1. SubForm.field_name::Enter - (JavaScript, client)

    this.rawValue = null;

    DRF1. SubForm.field_name::Exit - (JavaScript, client)

    If (this.) RawValue is nothing)

    {

    this.rawValue = "\n________________________________\n\n________________________________\n\n______________ __________________\n\n________________________________\n";

    } else {}

    I guess I need to change the value "enter", but I'm not sure how to edit.  Your help is greatly appreciated!  I'm not a programmer.

    Hello

    I think you might be better with another approach, with this approach, the user will have the same trouble if they save the form and open later.

    Try to change the initialization script

    
    this.format.picture.value
    = "null{________________________________\r\n________________________________\r\n________________________________\r\n________________________________}";
    

    You will then be able to completely remove the code entry and exit events.

    The above code sets the display null model, which means that it will appear only if the field has no value.  Normally, you can enter this in the model display dialog box but that you cannot enter return carridge/newline characters.

  • Multiline text field, not packing in PDF format

    Hello

    I work in InDesign CS6 and I have a text field where users can take notes at the bottom of each page on the master page. I have the right properties defined in the dialog buttons (see below). However, when a user enters text, the text is not wrapping (see image 2), it shows just as a long line of text. If I go to the PDF file and select the text box and choose multiline, it works, but I don't want to have to do this on each page of each document. Is there something I'm missing when creating the PDF file or set up initially in InDesign?

  • Extended CRM multiline text fields do not allow any line on the back-end breaks

    I added a multiline text field to a form of extended CRM and tie it to the Contact entity. When I login to the Admin and trying to change this field in the customer record, it does not line breaks. Pressing enter (or SHIFT-ENTER) while in the multi-line text box, saves the record. It takes me not to the next line in the text box, which is what I want.

    Hello

    At this stage in order to add a line break in a multiline text field, you will need to use either
    or
    to do so. Previously, it was possible to press on enter, but this feature has been removed awhile back months to increase safety, specifically related to possible vulnerabilities on cross site scripting.

  • Masking printed lines in a multiline text field?

    I am designing a form using Adobe Acrobat XI. This form is designed to be multi use. It can be printed and completed by hand or it can be filled electronically.

    When the user chooses to complete the form electronically, entering into a multiline text field, I want to hide the printed lines. After leaving the field, I want the lines will still be hidden if any text has been entered in the field. I know that this can be accomplished by using a script in the Action of the box text field properties window, but I can't find the correct script and triggers. Any help is very appreciated.

    Here is the solution:

    In the onFocus event, you add this line of code:

    event.target.fillColor = color.white;

    and in the onBlur event, you add this line of code:

    If (event.value.toString () .length< 1)="">

    event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;

    }

    The script of the onBlur event is required to set back field transparent background when you tab through an empty field; When you tab through a field, the Format event will not occur.
