Prevent selection of text in the text box

• Area opacity increases when you select a text box

  I recently updated my OS 10.6.8 to 10.11.6.

  I kept Acrobat 9.5, because I like the layout of the tools much better than in later versions.

  However, with the OS later a new problem arises. When I have the displayed property bar and click on a text box or the caption box, all second row tools remain the same size, but the area opacity becomes 10 times larger! The Ribbon containing it increases as well. Even when there is no selection in progress, once the opacity box balls she remains enormous in all work on this pdf.

  This causes the entire page to jump around while I wait for it to settle.

  I know of three other people who have had this problem, so I hope others have found a solution. I have explored removing the opacity box but can't see how to do it. the property bar appears enabled, no customization.

  Thanks for your help.

  I guess that you are referring to versions of Mac OS X when you say 10.6.8 and 10.11.6. Acrobat 9 is not supported and is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.11, and it is not surprising that you are facing problems. There is nothing you can do except again downgrade your operating system (or run the old version in a virtual machine, but in this case, you must get the server version of 10.6 - only which can be run in a virtual machine), or upgrade your version of Acrobat Acrobat DC.

• Selection of text box script

  Hello

  New script if you need a little help. Try to select all of the text boxes in a document and then drag the selected items on a new layer. Is this possible and if it is you can apply it to an entire document (20 pages or more) and not just a spread?

  Thank you very much

  // Unlock all page items of a document.
  // In this case the variable doc contains the active document.
  // Could be named myDoc as well. This usually goes without saying.
  var doc = app.documents[0];
  
  // Optional:
  // Unlock every layer.
  // You could need this later, if you try to move page items to another layer.
  doc.layers.everyItem().locked = false;
  
  // Mandatory:
  // Unlock all level one page items:
  doc.pageItems.everyItem().locked = false;
  
  // Note: Anchored frames can still be locked.
  

  And another note: this code snippet does not, check if a document is open.

  Kind regards

• Impossible to select multiple items in the list box

  I use Acrobat 9.0 Standard.

  I added a list box in the PDF format and I want to give people the ability to select multiple items in the drop-down list. In properties, on the Options tab, I chose 'multiple choice '. But I am unable to make multiple selections despite this. It still only allows me to make a choice.

  Any ideas? Is there some other step I'm missing?

  I need help with this ASAP for my business - any suggestions are appreciated!

  Thank you

  It should do that if you hold down the SHIFT key.

• to select several files in the dialog box open, but it is impossible, isn't it?

  Hi forum,

  File and folder objects have a openDlg() method. The first also has the multiSelect parameter, it is not.

  I wish I could have also for the folder so that I can ctrl/shift select several folders instead of picking up a folder and all its subfolders processing.

  Maybe I'm missing something obvious or there is a solution to such a dialogue box.

  Kind regards

  As suggested, an approach as possible:

  Folder.prototype.selectMultipleDialog = function (prompt,multiselect){
    var w = new Window('dialog','MultipleSelectDialog'),
    st,
    ls,
    btnGp,
      koBtn,
      okBtn,
      folderFilter = function(f){
          return (f instanceof Folder)
      },
      u,
      folders = this.getFiles(folderFilter),
      getFolderNames = function(foldersObjectArray){
          var n = foldersObjectArray.length,
          namesArray = [];
          while ( n--){
              namesArray[n] = decodeURI(foldersObjectArray[n].name);
          }
          return namesArray;
      },
      folderListItems = getFolderNames(folders),
      n = 0;
  
      st = w.add('statictext',u,prompt);
      ls = w.add('listbox',undefined, folderListItems, {multiselect:multiselect} );
  
      btnGp = w.add('group');
  
      koBtn = btnGp.add('button',u,'Cancel');
      okBtn = btnGp.add('button',u,'Select');
  
      koBtn.onClick = function(){
    w.close(0);
    }
  
    okBtn.onClick = function(){
    w.close(1);
    }
  
      ls.onChange = function() {
          okBtn.enabled = ls.selection!==null;
      }
  
      w.preferredSize.width = 450;
      w.alignChildren = ["fill","top"];
      ls.preferredSize.height = 200;
      btnGp.alignChildren = ["right","top"];
  
    okBtn.enabled = false;
  
      if ( w.show()==1 ){
    if ( ls.selection instanceof Array ) {
    n = ls.selection.length;
              while ( n-- ) folders[ls.selection[n].index].execute();
    }
    else {
    folders[ls.selection.index].execute();
    }
    }
  }
  
  var fo = Folder.desktop;
  fo.selectMultipleDialog("test", true)

• Selection of group and the radio text box

  I have a form with a question like: "How did you who are we?" and a radio with some choice group. One of the radio group choice is "other - please describe! When selected, a text box changes to 'read only' and the user can write something. I'm not able to update a record with the user's selection in a field in a table (I can save either text or radio group selection area). Any help? Thank you!

  You should check the value of the selected option button. If it's not ' I have this answer: ", assign the value to $_POST ['Proposal_text'].

  If ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) & ($_POST ["MM_update"] == "form1")) {}

  If ($_POST ['proposal']! = ' I have this answer: "") {}

  $_POST ['Proposal_text'] = $_POST ['proposal'];

  }

  
  

  $updateSQL = sprintf ("UPDATE sarcini SET solutie_6 = %s, introd_6 = %s WHERE id_question = %s",

  GetSQLValueString ($_POST ['Proposal_text'], "text").

  GetSQLValueString ($_POST ["'Full_name"], "text").

  GetSQLValueString ($_POST ['id_question'], "int"));

• Reorganization of the text boxes so that they mix upwards or downwards

  Hello

  I'm not sure to understand what happens when the text inline boxes are dragged - I have 6 on a page that are the width of the page but different heights and I would like to re - order them so they mix it up or down depending on where I drag them, but at the moment they go to the bottom of the page or disappear completely I can't work on the behavior.

  I think there must be a way of formatting.

  Thank you

  James

  Select each text box and if you use v5 Pages, visit the reorder menu and text wrapping set to None. Now, the text box are not repellent, and you can position them as you please. If you always use the Pages ' 09 and then again, select each text box and the Wrap Inspector, deselect object causes wrap.

• Using paint and how to change the text box.

  How can I select a text box that you want to modify in the paint - Windows 7 Home Premium?  Once I leave the text box I can't select again a second time to change the text or grab it to move...

• Help with a script that converts the HTML object text box

  I don't know anything about programming scripts and unfortunately inDesign isn't any panel actions as Photoshop..

  I need a script to convert a text box with HTML code inside a HTML object... I think not, it should be very difficult

  How could be the following:

  (1) select the text box
  (2) cut all text inside
  (3) remove the empty box
  (4) select selection tool
  (5) go to OBJECT/INSERT HTML
  6) paste it into the code before you cut the text box
  (7) OK and close the menu INSERT HTML code

  If the Script works, we could change with HTML code inside a text box to an object HTML (video, card, animations,...)

  The first step could be manually selecting each text box or by selecting all of the boxes that start automatically by "< iFRAME '

  1000 thanks

  Remember that you can not get an answer it if you don't show any attempt of your choice.

• Automatically convert soft line breaks in the text box to hard breaks

  I have the design of textbooks and convert to ePub recomposable, broke up. These ePub files get formatted then can be used interchangeably on the printed text. A book that I am currently in conversion is a literature book where there are lines of text with the overall line numbers so that teachers can quickly refer to a specific section of the text.

  All the line breaks in the ID file are defined just by the edge of the text box. So the text box change sizes, all line breaks would also change. Isn't a problem until you need to keep these online breeze in recomposable text and add up the numbers in.

  
  What I'm looking for is a way to insert automatically the line breaks in these LONG sections of text in the right places. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that?

  Thank you!

  Select a text box and run this script. He puts a soft return at the end of each line that doesn't have a carriage return. For more information on the installation and use of this script see http://indesignsecrets.com/how-to-install-a-script-in-indesign-that-you-found-in-a-forum-o r-blog - post.php .

• 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.

• CS2 erase content and the text box

  I use CS2 on Windows. I have a file of 30 pages with the linked text boxes on each page with anchored objects. I would remove the first 10 pages, but NOT the text of these areas of 10 text wrap on the remaining pages. Is there a way to delete the text boxes AND their content before deleting these pages, that I don't have to highlight all of the text on them, remove it, then delete the text boxes themselves?

  Thank you

  Lloyd

  Ah ha! You need a script! I use CS2 and I only found on the scripts - you can find them on the CD-ROM or get you it from here (scroll to CS2.) Put them in the folder scripts in your presets folder, open the palette scripts (on Windows) and here they are. There are two useful in your goal - we split the history in separate text boxes, one pops up a text box in the story. Just select your text box and double-click the script.

  (Of course, once you cut your text out of the herd area you can remove it).

• Get two text boxes appear...

  Hi guys.  Im trying to get to two areas of text to appear once a selection is made from a drop-down list. Two text boxes have been updated with the invisible and the formCalc is written under the change option in the drop-down list.  This does not work when I make the selection. Text boxes appear only once I make the choice to the second time and on the option I want that text areas is visible on.  -CV103 is my combo - CV107 & CV108 are my text boxes that I set to invisible.   I pasted my code below because I can't seem to get this right. Help, please!    root. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv103::change - (FormCalc, client) if (root. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv103.RawValue == 'Partner') then root. P1.client.variable_option_client. CV107. Presence = root "visible." P1.client.variable_option_client.cv108.presence = 'visible' to other root. P1.client.variable_option_client. CV107. Presence = root 'invisible '. P1.client.variable_option_client.cv108.presence = "invisible" endif thanks Joey

  The problem is that the rawValue does not hold the value that you select to exit. If you want that the user has selected on the change event you xfa.event.newText... instead of Fieldname.rawValue

• highlighting multiple text boxes?

  This is a feature in Microsoft Word, and now the new firefox. where you can select several text boxes by simply now the ctrl key while you click and drag, for purposes of copy and paste everything you pointed out or modification of character attributes for only the selected text boxes...

  is it possible in Illustrator?

  I use illustrator to letter comics

  I paste the script to the page outside the area of work page...

  I then go through change all the attributes of text characters in the font and size, and everything what the actual dialog box will I place inside the work...

  for dialogue of different characters or boxes of different caption sometimes I'll use a different font or size... that can go through and highlighting the parts of the script that have different and changing character dialog box at the same time instead of each line/bubble one would be a great time saver...

  If this is not a function, it must be in the future.

  No, simultaneous selection of discontiguous partial text strings is not a feature of Illustrator.
