  • Using ALT + _ with text entry

    Hello

    I'm trying to use the shortcut Alt + A for multiple text entry boxes, but I can't seem to validate. As I looked for a solution, I found this thread (where someone has tried to use ALT with clickboxes) where Adobe has responded:

    The problem is with actionscript 3. It sends no 'Alt' keydown messages for event listeners in actionscript inside the browser. In actionscript 2, there is a utility class named "Key", which has since been removed in Actionscript3. With the help of the 'Key' class we could determine if the 'Alt' key is pressed in AS2. Now that we have lacked the means. »

    Does this mean that I can't use ALT as a shortcut?

    I use CP5, edition of an exe on a windows machine 7.

    Thank you!

    I'm afraid that the answer is Yes.  Several keystrokes are problematic in this way.  You will need to find another shortcut to use.

  • Text captions do not appear when it is used with text entry areas (C3)

    I'm building a simulation of accounting system where the learner needs to enter data.  I entered text boxes (one per blade) appearing all the time on the slide.  I have captions that tell the student what to enter, but are synchronized with the audio, then a final text legend who told them how to go to the next slide (press tab, etc.).  My problem is that the text captions do not appear if they are configured to appear after the text input area appears on the time line.  Has anyone experience this problem?  Any suggestions?

    We have created a work around using a highlight box where the text entry box will appear later - so that all the text captions and text entry boxes appear at the same time.  Should be an easier way!

    Hello

    Yes, we see this question over and over again. Especially with new users.

    You need to come to terms with the works of Captivate. Imagine it's like a stream flowing by. Expect a legend to appear, but something stopped the flow. Blocking is your text box for entry (TEB). He interrupts the slide, waiting for your user to enter data.

    The key here is that you need to adjust the point break for ETB.

    See you soon... Rick

    Hey,.

    I wonder if it is possible to add a text entry for quick answers to instant preview, as BBM notifications and Messages. I have not found anything in the API, but it would be really sad if such feature would not be exposed to the public.

  • How to create A PDF with text OCR invisible and no Unicode font incorporated

    We have a code that converts TIFF (usually traveled and OCR'ed) in PDF format. Currently, I extend this code:

    1. be PDF/A compliant (or PDF/A-1b "Unicode" or PDF/A-2u).
    2. Add Unicode text 'behind' the image to make the PDF can be accessed, and
    3. while making (2), do not embed all fonts (which is allowed in PDF/A, as long as the text is invisible).

    I managed to generate a PDF file that pass the test of PDF/A preflight in Adobe Acrobat 9 (we have yet a license for a newer version), and which is also consistent with other requirements above, with one of the problems during their opening in Acrobat (9) or Acrobat Reader (DC), I get the error "cannot find or create the police."

    Replace the name of fancy font with that of one of the 14 standard fonts, said Courier, does not help.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to find or create PDF sample files that show how to add invisible text without embedding a font. I could operate without a Unicode mapping, referring to the Courier not incorporated and using WinAnsiEncoding. However, in order to use the Unicode format, I have to add some police structures, so there's a ToUnicode mapping according to the PDF/A standard, and then I can't get rid of this warning, which of course would make it unusable PDF for our customers.

    I couldn't really find in the PDF specification or the PDF/A standard what exactly "do not embed a font" meant on a technical level. I assumed that this meant "leaving aside the tag /FontFile2 and police data, to which it refers", but apparently, this isn't quite the case.

    If this is not possible, I might incorporate a fake police, like empty Adobe but with (empty) glyphs that have a width, but it really shouldn't be necessary if I understand standards.

    Any help or tips at least are appreciated.

    Published by: Gerben your; Comment on Adobe-Blank as police.

    But it's a required parameter with sense. Encoding is highly relevant for embedded and not embedded fonts. So it must be good, not just there... and it is not normal for a substitution font...

  • Commenting on PDFs with text from websites using Adobe

    Hi all

    I work in a team and we want to download articles, documents and Web sites deposits, convert them to PDF format, highlight and comment on the text.  Currently, we use Adobe Acrobat XI Standard to convert the Web site text in PDFs using OCR to recognize the text and then highlighting the text that recognizes the OCR.  Our team share the documents commented on an internal cloud.

    There are two problems with our process.  First of all, once the OCR recognizes text, it replaces the old text with new text which is a bit blurry, making it hard to read.  Second, the OCR takes a long time to run on long documents.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Is Adobe program more effective to use?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi AdobeNewUser1,

    You can use the function 'Find and correct OCR Suspect' to fix the blurry replaced the OCR text.

    If the document is long so it is normal that the OCR engine to take the time to read the entire document.

    Kind regards

  • Bottom of page interferes with text entry

    I'm a newbie with InDesign CS6 rank. I have a document preset for 3 columns. If I enter text with Shift-click, the text flows properly column to column as I want. But if I apply a background first color page (using the Logframe tool and filling), then I can not enter text in the column, but instead, it goes into the background space. And if I have everything first enter text and then apply a background color of page, it covers the text and I can't object-organize-send to the rear, because the function is not active. What can I do to get a page background color AND be able to enter text in a column so that it automatically empties into the following columns?

    1. Use of layers, the background should not be on the same layer as the images or text or page number, I use for each one its own layer. You can lock the layers to protect it from accidentally changing.
    2. Use the object Styles, for each type of text, color or picture frame. Specify it.
    3. Use character and paragraph for any text Styles.
  • interactive PDF with the text box replace Chinese simsun font

    Hi all

    We have designed an interactive pdf with text fields. We need the text fields in a Chinese font. I understand that this cant be done in Indesign (change the police seized in Chinese), I moved the file to Acrobat Pro and used the text property to change the font Simsun but when we try the police is always in English. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Paul

    It will take the user to install the Asian language pack and or traditional Chinese:

    Adobe - Adobe Reader: for Windows: Adobe Reader 11.0.09 - Pack of Asian and extended language font Packs

    When the user attempts to enter Chinese characters, it will invite the user to download if is not already installed. Large unicode fonts get not include for the use of form fields as other fonts are.

  • Text entry fields

    Hello.
    I have a clip that contains an e-mail form with text entry fields. This MC is then added to another clip which is then added to an another MC. When I test, text entry fields are displayed. The cursor changes to allow the input text, but you can not see the text and can't even see the white text boxes. Something that happens when the MC e-mail form is added to another clip, when you test the form e-mail MC on the main timeline, I have no problem.

    Help please as it is doing my head days.

    Thank you

  • GeoGebra prints a PDF with printer acrobat, its text that can be selected or not searchable.

    I want to join the pdf but it does not seem possible. So I'll put a link http://elinkage.net/1.pdf here.

    The created pdf file is certainly not an image. Nice looking for smooth fonts which is fully scalable.  Just can't believe that the text is not selectable or searchable.

    Thanks for all comments and solutions to correct the issue.

    The characters associated with the field points are represented by actual fonts.

    The rest is shown characters (an image using vector graphics).

    Open the PDF with Acrobat Pro (any version).

    Go to the content panel.

    Lotsa - Lotsa entries 'Path '.  Almost all are these characters Graphic image.

    In short - nothing can do a 'find' or a 'research' on as it is not more not less than an 'image' - no 'real' text (a prerequisite for any search engine to 'find' or 'Search' or built a search index).

    If a problem of 'author' and not an Acrobat / Adobe Reader / software application problem.

    Be well...

  • To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry?

    To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry? In Windows Explorer, I highlight the individual PDF files, right click and choose "combine with Adobe Acrobat. I'm done and get my single file with all the PDF pages included, but nowhere I can't find where them prohibit printing of the any PDF combined or refusing to be seized of the text... as I'm able to do when I export to PDF from InDesign.

    It's really a question of Acrobat, but in any case the answer is you open the file in Acrobat and go to properties (Ctrl + D), and then click the Security tab.

  • PDF with Images - layers of white text showing on picture - how to remove?

    Hi all, I was sent a multi-page pdf. When I go online (in firefox or chrome), the pdf file seems perfect. When I print the pdf and then open the PDF on my system, it shows the pdf with white text on any word. I opened the PDF in illustrator and saw immediately that there is a layer of white text. If I delete the layer, everything looks ok.

    The layer of fonts on all pages are presented. They are not necessary, how do I remove the layer of outline fonts in acrobat? Its a huge file with many pages.

    So firstly I would like to know what has caused this? What is an accessibility issue forced? Second how to remove all text white file so that I can see actually correctly?

    Difficulty.

    Open pdf file and using preflight. Clicked on the key and sought to "create different layers for text vector image. Since there are no layers. It will ask you to save the pdf file. Save, then open the layers and uncheck vector layers. Return to the preflight and key key and double-click on the content of the layer lay hidden and flatten visible layers. It will ask you to register.

    New file will now appear not text. Acrobat documents it's terrible!

  • Removal of spaces of text with JavaScript entries (2016)

    Hello

    I hope someone could help me with a script or even a regular to remove the empty spaces between the words in the text entry boxes.  I found this thread from 3 years, but the code doesn't seem to work - I use 9 Captivate:

    Remove the spaces from the text of the text input area

    At the time was the posted solution:

    var objCP = document. Captivate;

    var jsTextEntry = objCP.cpEIGetValue ('TextEntryBox1');
    var jsNoSpaces = jsTextEntry.replace (/ / g, ");

    objCP.cpEISetValue ('varNoSpaces', jsNoSpaces);

    But again, this does not work for me. Any suggestions? Thank you.

    Nevermind, I think I thought about her. For future reference, this seemed to work - exchange the multi-word cpQuizInfoStudentName to OneWordName without spaces:

    getName var = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue ("cpQuizInfoStudentName");

    newName var = getName.replace (/ / g, ");

    window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue ('v_OneWordName', newName);
