Problems resizing of form fields

I have not had this problem before and use the form field in Acrobat Pro for years. All of a sudden, I can't resize form fields to any size I want. Or I can put the fields wherever I want. I used must be able to move and resize in tiny increments, and now, the fields behave as if they are locked on a grid on the page - so do not allow me to put the fields anywhere, I want. With resizing, it is quite similar to I can't resize smoothly - resizing jumps into the blocks.

No matter who else now facing this problem? I have not changed one of the preferences. Any help would be appreciated.

Look under the view menu and see line up on the grid is not checked.

  • Problem with the form field.

    well don't know what to do with it. First of all, I removed all the contacts on the site of BC. So, right now, there is no customer in the CRM.

    But when I go to create a web form under the TITLE instead of having simply Mr., Mrs., etc... I have a complete list of email addresses. I can clean manually if I paste the code of the form on the page but don't want to do that every time. Any ideas as to where this source is shooting?

    Go to the CRM, go to a client or to go make one.

    Click on the square next to the title field - this allows you to create/edit and delete entries.

    In terms of how it happened - when you have imported you imported the names in the wrong column and was in the title column.

  • Problems with form fields

    Hello!

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9.2.0).  I'm an avid user, and recently I started to have problems with the form fields (text, list box drop-down list, check mark, ect.).  When I go to applications-> add or edit fields and try to move ONE of the fields, they move sporadically.  I thought that maybe it was my mouse, so I tried to move it with the arrow keys, and then it does the same thing.  Sometimes I have to just move the field by a hair, and it clearly moves across the page!

    I asked my people to TI, and of course this isn't their specialty, so we're trying to think of what it is NOT!  I really need this to get back to normal, because I've created forms throughout the day.

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • glitching form fields

    I have problems with two form fields.

    1. the signatory name field. It is unbearable and doesn't seem to be either auto-fill for this particular customer.

    2. a large text box does not allow my client to fill with multiple lines. It creates just huge text. It makes no sense at all. How can I give them some space to write their mailing address?

    This of course creates the question if I can cancel this contract and redo the fields in the form, I lost one of my shipments allowed for the month. Certainly not preferable because it is enforcement difficulties which may result in a need to return. Very disappointing as I can't speak with ANYONE at Adobe, when the program misbehaves.

    Hi Laura,

    I can help you with your questions here:

    1 signatory name should be generated automatically AFTER your customer signs. It will not be able to see his name being generated automatically. But once he signs the document, you will see her name being filled in the agreement signed automatically.

    2. There is an option to enable multi data entry line if you double-click the text field on the Create page. It looks like this:

  • Form fields to paste on the new form: pasted fields are resized and rotated.

    Form fields to paste on the new form: pasted fields
    are resized and turned.

    It started just past this week. I created fields on an expense
    form of report and some fields have calculations. The form is current
    updated, but I want to use the same fields on the new PDF to maintain the
    calculations.

    When I copy the forms of the old PDF and paste to the new PDF, fields
    have been squashed horizontally and vertically elongated.

    The original PDF is set up in the landscape and therefore the new PDF.

    I checked the properties of the fields, and they show a 270 rotation or text
    in the field. But nothing I try turn the fields at their own
    orientation.

    Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    Yes, this happens when the rotation of the source and target documents page is not the same.

    It is not really a good solution to this problem at the present time, except to re-create one of the files after not rotating, or to re - create the fields.

  • Same form field on several pages, simpler to resize all

    I have a form field (same name, same position) on many many pages, and I need to resize the width of all form fields, what is the best way to accomplish?

    Access the form Edit mode and select all the fields in the list. You can sort by name to make it easier to find all instances at once.

    Then right click on one of them, then select Properties. Go to the tab Position and set the Width to what you want it to be.

    It might behave a little strangely when you change the value, but it should work.

  • Re: Filled form fields not printing - using Acrobat Pro on Windows 10

    I have the same problem, except that there is no system of Mac involved. I've created a registration form to fill live events to a charitable organization for which I work and distributed. I had checked that filled in forms may be saved with their data, but I don't actually print a. Today, I downloaded the form inside and tried to print it. Fixed content of the form prints normally, but the content of the form fields is not printed. I have the print options configured to print 'Document and annotations', as suggested elsewhere. A test, I used Photoshop to open the file. It can be printed (default settings) with the fields filled in displayed as it should show. On my own system I open and print the latest version of Acrobat Professional. I also tried to print from another system, using Acrobat Reader DC - this has also led the white printing. Both systems are running Windows Update 10 anniversary. The original form (empty) can be downloaded from http://ncinvestiture.holysepulchre.net/images/regformnew.pdf. I can send you my completed form if you want to give me the necessary details.

  • Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

    I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

    var devused is this.getField ("device");.

    var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

    var proname = this.getField ("product name");

    var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

    If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

    devused. Required = true;

    proname. Required = true;

    smells. Required = true;

    }

    else {}

    devused. Required = false;

    proname. Required = false;

    smells. Required = false;

    }

    What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

    For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

    If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
    {
    var devused = this.getField ("device");
    var proname = this.getField ("product name");
    Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
    Switch (Event.changeEx)
    {
    case "related product": complaint
    devused. Required = true;
    proname. Required = true;
    smells. Required = true;
    break; Go at the end of the switch;
    Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
    by default:
    If no match for the above cases, it is found;
    devused. Required = false;
    proname. Required = false;
    smells. Required = false;
    break;
    } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
    } / / end not true willCommit;

    You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.

  • Treatment options for form (use the value of a form field to select a shared list or a web redirect page)

    Hello

    I tried something with the processing of the forms which doesn't seem to work. I wonder if the function really works or if I'm doing something wrong.

    Here is an example of what I do: I have a form that I want to use. I add "Web Page redirection" processing step to my form. When I click on the processing step to set up, under "General settings" there is an option that says "Choose how the launch of destination page is selected." In this drop-down menu, there are three options: always redirect to the same landing page, use a drop-down list to select the landing page and the value of a form field allows you to select the destination page. I have a hidden field on the form that contains the URL of the web page to which I would like to redirect. When I select 'Use the value of a form field to select the landing page', I select the hidden field to the field that contains the URL of the web page to which I want to redirect. It's my setup. However, when I submit the form, nothing happens, I do not redirect to the URL contained in the hidden field... This function still works? I'm doing something wrong? I can't seem to get the function "Use a drop-down list to select the destination page" to work either. The same thing happens when I try to use the "Add Contact to shared the list" processing step. I add the name of the list that is shared in the field hidden, but the contact does not appear in the shared list... These functions still work? If yes how do I configure them?

    Thank you!

    Well, I understood the problem of the shared list... You must add the ID of the list shared in the hidden field. I had to use Firebug to see the real ID of the shared list. Once you have the ID, use you it as a static value in the field. If the HTML code of the form will look something like this:

    If you do not use the lookup data ID. You use the ID real asset on the shared list. You must use something like Firebug to find.

    I'm glad everything is working.

  • 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?

    Adobe form help.jpg

    Hello!

    I recently got help on the forums and was able to write javascript to change the form fill and border based on an entry of individuals (thanks!).  I am now to experience the problems that I continue to work on this document.  I drew a picture that illustrates 3 different results, its located above.  To explain what I need, here is how the form is supposed to work:

    1. a user enters the State of equipment on page 2, I make sure that only AAA, BBB, CCC or s/o became acceptable.  Each value changes the field of form as shown above and n/d is no change on the ground at all.

    2. based on the user to page 2 input, I'm trying to get a form field only read to a "general status" page to change the color and change its value based on these entries.

    The three columns above show the 3 possible outcomes of the general State of page 1, that is to say:

    1: date of AAA [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user entries are AAA (n/a which is not taken into account))

    2: date of BBB [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (user input contained one or more of the values BBB or CCC)

    3: date of CCC [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user input were CCC)

    I do this train to work and don't have adobe Adobe Acrobat XI worm: 11.0.13 at home.  Thanks for the help and if my description or photo is confusing, let me know and I can try to explain it differently.  Each column is a document, the document possible self doesn't have a 3 columns.

    J

    Let's see if I understand:

    1. the user enters 'AAA', and the color of the background/outline field turns green.

    2. the user enters "BBB", and the color of the background/outline field turn yellow.

    3. the user enters "CCC", and the color of the background/outline field turns red.

    4. the user enters "S/o", and the default color (it looks like teal) will be used

    4. If all the entries on page 2 are of the same color or the value "N/a", this color will be used for the field page 1

    5. If all the entries on page 2 are not the same color or the 'N/a', 'yellow' color value will be used for the field page 1

    Describes the behavior of the form?

    I would use a document level function to manage both the validation of the seizure and the choice of colors. The first part of the function (validation) is quite simple. The second part (setting the current color of field) is something that you already know how to do it. The third part, determine the color of a field of the general State is a little more complicated. I would like to look at all the fields that are not current on the ground - loop - (because you can just make a call to Doc.getField ()), then take the current information in the field of the event object in the validation script and determine what should be the status of the output (and then set the color accordingly).

    Something like this should work:

    function ValidateStatus() {
        // is the data entered either "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", or "N/A"?
        if (event.value == "AAA") {
            event.target.fillColor = color.green;
            event.target.strokeColor = color.green;
        } else if (event.value == "BBB") {
            event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
            event.target.strokeColor = color.yellow;
        } else if (event.value == "CCC") {
            event.target.fillColor = color.red;
            event.target.strokeColor = color.red;
        } else if (event.value == "N/A" || event.value == "") {
            event.target.fillColor = color.cyan;
            event.target.strokeColor = color.cyan;
        } else {
            event.rc = false;
            app.alert("Only the values 'AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', or 'N/A' are allowed");
            return;
        }
    
        // set the field on page 1
        var fields = ["Status1", "Status2", "Status3", "Status4"];
        var theStatus = "N/A";
        for (var i in fields) {
            var v;
            if (fields[i] != event.target.name) {
                v = this.getField(fields[i]).value;
            }
            else {
                v = event.value;
            }
            if (v == "N/A" || v == "") {
                continue;
            }
            else if (theStatus == "N/A") {
                theStatus = v;
            }
            else if (theStatus != v) {
                theStatus = "BBB";
            }
        }
        var msg = theStatus + "\n" + this.getField("Date1").value;
        var theColor;
        if (theStatus == "CCC") {
            theColor = color.red
        } else if (theStatus == "BBB") {
            theColor = color.yellow;
        } else if (theStatus == "AAA") {
            theColor = color.green;
        } else {
            theColor = color.cyan;
        }
        var f = this.getField("OverallStatus");
        f.value = msg;
        f.fillColor = f.strokeColor = theColor;
    }
    

    You then call it in four areas as a custom validation script:
