  • Text form field properties: access with Javascript?

    Hello

    I wonder if it is possible to access all of the properties of text form field with Javascript.

    The basic game is available under the domain object, but I'm looking for the other stuff that does not specifically exist for the fields of rich text, such as the properties of next paragraph:

    Dashes (left and right, withdrawal, first to the first line indent), the vertical alignment (top, bottom, middle), space above and below and attack (line spacing).

    All this is available if you place your cursor in a rich text field and press Ctrl-E to open text form field properties, then click on "More".

    So I wonder if it is also accessible via JS, because I can't find anything in the documentation on the subject.

    Thanks much for any help!

    Some properties of rich text are available, but not those you mentioned.

    I'm afraid.

    Study of the Span object to find out which ones are.

  • Automatic scrolling of text possible in combination with the text form field

    Hello

    We would like to know if it is possible to align the text automatically with a form field that can contain different amounts of characters.

    For example:

    We have a form with a text field for currency at the end of a paragraph of text. The period to mark the end of the sentence should always be printed just behind the currency field. For now, the comma character has a fixed place, just outside the scope of the currency field. It doesn't look good when the currency field contains only 2 characters (due to the white space).

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you.

    It is only possible if the time text is also part of a text field, preferably the same one. You can use a format or script validation to automatically add this custom text to text from the user, assuming that it is a fixed value or you can know in advance. If it is a value entered by the user, then it becomes almost impossible to do it gently.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - character spacing in the text form field

    Hi all

    We are creating a form that contains a part of money transfer.

    This form will be printed on preprinted paper that contains special rectangle fields for the characters (f.e. a bank account number = > IBAN).

    Each character must match their respective rectangle.

    Because of the spacing between the rectangles, we must be able to increase the spacing between characters, but it seems that it is not possible for the text to form fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro ms? We looked everywhere, but we can't seem to find it.

    We missed something? Otherwise: are there other options to solve our problem?

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

  • -Text form field can overflow to the next page?

    Can I create a field, where if the user types text that overflows the page space, it can allow the text flow into a field on the next page?

    Thanks in advance :))

    No, it must be the script of the hit. Select a Format for the custom category, and you should see where to place the code. Don't forget to remove from the Validate event.

  • Search Google Maps open text form field

    I would like to a user to enter an address in a field of text and then click a button on the same form which will open a google maps search that automatically uses this text field for the search value.  I tried to use "Open a Web link" in the action of the button by using the URL "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q & hl = in & q = this.getfield("address 1") .value' but who obviously search google maps for"this.getfield("address_1").value"."  Hehe.  Is it possible?

    Thank you

    Try to use the app.launchURL method, for example:

    var report = "http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=" + getField("address_1").valueAsString;

    app.launchURL ({cURL: report, bNewFrame: true});

    You'll probably want to validate the address first, but you should get the idea.

  • How to capture the value of text form field?

    Version 4.1.0

    Hello

    I have two tables, a database table where the data is stored, and a correspondence table that has all the account information.
    I have a simple form (not in a table) on the base table. It has 4 fields,

    1. an account id,
    2 there are country
    3 there are region
    4 account manager.

    All this is stored in a lookup table

    When the user has entered the account number and create hits, the account id should be picked up and looked up against the table and the data that result must be returned to the form. When the user then presses the button send, the data must be committed in the table on which the form is created.

    To do this I tried to enter the account number, the user enters into the form, I tried to capture using

    apex_application.g_f01 (1)

    But does not work. Any help with the way in which we can enter this value, validate it against the table, and then bring in the lookup table details in the form and then when the user submits, she should get engaged in the base table?

    Thank you

    In addition, another question. In this case for the empno data has been extracted from the same table where the insert will be made. What happens if I need to get data from another table. So let's say that the Empno and details are also stored in the table "EMP_MASTER". in this form, can reference another table and complete the empno and empname?

    Also, the recording doesn't seem to work in this case!

    Thank you!

    If you want to fill in all items, then it is easier to send the page...

    You mean, you want to have your page depends on more than one table? Then the source you would be static not database column... you must use collections, please install the packaged Collection sample application to learn more...

  • How can I place and move items (in particular form fields) more accurately?

    I use Acrobat 9 pro, but also 7.

    When the forms using more than one field, the first problem is the fields can be placed in locked

    increments and these increases are too wide for I have to manually align the fields.

    I don't know why adobe did not allow small increments, the tool is essential, and this reduces its usefulness in half.

    Manually aligning them be too bad but the progressive jackpot is also set to move in increments too large.

    As far as I can tell it is the smallest unit of movement is 2 points. But there are moments where I really need to spend 1 point,

    or even 1/2 pt.

    Plug-ins to do this things function the way it should?

    A fine workaround would be a grid I have less 2 points, then I could just check 'snap to grid' and move away.

    If you have 9 Pro on a PC, you should have installed Live Cycle Designer. It has more useful features. Webcam Live Cycle Designer is not provided with Acrobat Mac, for reasons that I don't know. Looks like you can set the x - y coordinates.

    A subtotal of the guests in attendance and ticket prices.
