Special characters in text boxes Acrobat XI (Windows)

I use Acrobat Pro XI for Windows. At my work we have some documents that we mark upwards using the features of the text box and not insert it text. In the older version of Acrobat I used until this year (sorry - I know not what version), it was easy to insert special characters such as accented letters, the daggers to announce notes, etc., in the text boxes. I could go to the Edit drop-down list and there was a "special character" field I could call, and from there, I would choose punctuation, Greek letters, various and several other choices. It couldn't be simpler. But I can't find a way to add special characters to the text boxes in Acrobat XI. Just to be clear, I'm not talking to modify the text in the original document. I want to talk about adding a text box and then using special characters in the text I'm typing in the box. I was able to type special characters in a Word doc and then copy / paste them in my text box in Acrobat, but it takes a long time and requires sometimes I mess with the font of the text box. Any help with this will be sincerely appreciated.

Special characters is a thing of Mac not a thing of Acrobat. So you have it on the PC.

Use the character map application on the PC. (Accessories - System Tools).

  • Issue of special characters in text fields in forms created with the ID

    Hello

    I created a form document with ID.

    The problem with special characters will appear after you export to interactive PDF files.

    When filling text field, character special (Polish language in my case specials) are replaced by the squares.

    I don't know if it is a problem of ID (and I should encoding when creating pdf somehow) or Acrobat/Reader problem (tried both and also in Polish or English versions).

    Some help would be appreciated.

  • Special characters using Acrobat PRO from DC

    Where is the table of special characters to?

    Hello

    You want to use special with Acrobat Pro DC on PC or Mac?

    I will suggest you to use the application in the table of characters on a PC. There is also an equivalent application for Mac: Character Palette. Access you it via editing > special characters, or check its box in the menu Preferences/international/input system. You can use the keyboard Viewer (check its box in the menu Preferences/international/input system) to see which key does what.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Minimum of characters in a text box

    It seems silly that it is so easy to define the maximum number of characters in a text box (IE. Properties > Options > characters limit of X) but that there is no easy equaivalent to the minimum number of characters? At least not in Acrobat 9 in any case, don't know versions ever!

    Does anyone know if the minimum number of characters can be defined with Javascript?

    That was a rhetorical question. So what you really want, it's if the field is not empty, it would take at least a minimum number of characters. What is the minimum number that you want to apply? You'd probably want to use a custom for this validation script, but what exactly do you want to happen if the user enters only three characters, but the minimum you want is four? Should be rejected three characters who were seized in total, or should focus just the back of the field value so that the user can enter, or something else?

    Here's what might look like a script that rejects the input:

    Script for custom text to validate field

    (function () {}

    There is nothing to

    If (! event.value) return;

    Sets the minimum number of characters

    var min_chars = 4;

    Denied entry and alert the user if less than the minimum

    If (event.value.length< min_chars)="">

    Event.RC = false;

    App.Alert ("Please enter at" + min_chars + "in characters.\r\rYou" + event.value.length + "characters.", 1);

    }

    })();

  • Acrobat 11 - text boxes are truncated

    Windows XP, Acrobat 11 (Hebrew)

    I saved a number of documents Word 2007/2010 in PDF format and then grouped into a single PDF. The original Word documents contained several text boxes. Although individual Word documents that have been saved in PDF format are very good, and the combined document looks very good as well, sometimes errors occurred.

    I printed the document to my internal printer and everything was fine. I used WeTransfer transfer the file to a Publisher.

    (a) when it has printed, some of the many boxes was missing a part of the text. It referred the case. I fixed the text boxes and sent it using WeTransfer. At that time, another text box was missing a text. In addition,

    (b) occasionally, in a text box, the? at the end of a line printed at the beginning of the line instead.

    Does anyone know if there is a bug or other reason that this happens?

    You create this PDF file in Word using the PDFMaker add-in under the Acrobat Ribbon?

    I think that the problem you are having is associated with the original font is not integrated - that fits into this last screenshot. You do not have the embedded Times NewRoman (italic) police and it's one that is endangered.

  • Definition of default font for the text box in Acrobat XI

    Projects that I am working, I scan in all copies of documents I acquire and add at the bottom of the first page of the relevant information, that is, the source of recordings, volume, and page, using the tool text box (or typewriter).

    In earlier versions of Acrobat, I could choose a font style once and it has carried over to any subsequent document, I proceeded. In Acrobat Pro XI, it always happens as Minion Pro and I need to change in Arial Black every time. Is there a way to define Arial Black as the default choice for the text box?

    For what it's worth, I use Windows 8.

    Thank you.

    I came across a work-around for this for Acrobat Pro XI.  It is a process in two steps and a little heavy, but it works.

    First, go and add your text box and everything what you need text.  After having done that, select all the text, then bring up a bar of properties of the text box text by placing your cursor in the toolbar area and select 'Properties Bar' top of the page, right click or simply press Ctrl + E.  The properties of the text box bar will appear (floating, but not all the time).  Let the selected text, and then change the font properties to what you need.

    Secondly, deselect the text, select the border of the text box, make a right click and then select "Make current properties default" in the pop-up window.  FYI, the property bar to the box text will be changed from a floating real estate bar at this time, so if you need to make more detailed changes, simply close the bar and back to Ctrl + E to call upwards and make other changes.

    I use Windows 7 64-bit.

  • restrict the issue of characters text box

    I am relatively new to Flash programming, and I'm having a problem where all the text boxes will allow only characters 2,3 and 4 to enter. They were put in place with the .restrict = "0-9" to allow all the numbers.  I even created a test text box, and that has the same problem.  Is there something I'm missing, which is the cause?  I use Flash Pro CS6 on a Windows XP computer.

    Usually, when characters do not appear in a textfield it means police must be integrated into the TextField.  If the textfield on the stage, select it and in the properties panel, click the Embed button and choose the font/characters you want to use for the textfield object.
