Substituing a text box for a check box

I have a PDF form that has been transformed by Adobe in a form to fill out. The only thing is that he has converted some boxes in an area of free writing whereas I want him as a checkbox.

It seems that the only way I can do this is to insert this box on the current free writing area and its annoying and time consuming.

Is it possible that I can replace just the free writing for a checkbox area without having to change the size or shape of the box?

I remove the field from the text box and add then checkboxes or a checkbox field, if they are part of an exclusion group.

The Assistant shape is poor enough to create form fields. I just create them all manually by using tools such as creating multiple copies as needed.

    Hello

    I have a site and I can't type anything whether in any textbox (search box, for example) when you use FireFox. I tried the site safe without the effect of loading Mode, I can not type anything.

    I've seen similar behavior, but it always seems to get it fixed by disabling modules while in my case is not.

    I checked out the site on Windows, Mac and Linux, in all, it's the same behavior if you are using FireFox. With all other browsers, the site is very good and I can type in these text boxes.

    Let me know if this has happened to someone else, I am trying to settle this problem because it's really annoying for readers.

    Thanks in advance!

    I see the same thing on this web page.

    It seems that some JavaScript on this page is not working properly and therefore does not select the input field or text box when you click it.


    I can achieve input field by pressing the Tab key until I get a slider, so you can use it as a workaround for now.

    You can contact the site and inform them that their site does not work in Firefox.

  • How can I activate the spell for a text box that is just a line, for example submitted by e-mail?

    In an earlier version of Firefox, I found a site somewhere that told me what to do to turn on spell checking for text boxes that are just a line.

  • How do you define the default font size and color for the text caption and text boxes?

    When I click CTR + e to open the text properties box when you are working with markup tools, the default font size is 9.

    I understand how to change the font size for the individual text boxes but the size is up to 9 whenever I create a new box.

  • Is there a way to auto check a checkbox triggers production of a specific text box?

    I use Conga composer. I hope that when the information are filled in a specific text box in a pdf file, it will auto check a specific box.  Script ideas? Or, if this is even possible? I've seen scripts for the return, but my situation requires this particular traffic.

    You add those by going to tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts. Create

    a new item (call it "scripts", let's say), then remove the default function

    definition of who is there and paste your code instead.

    This code will be executed whenever the file is opened.

  • Check box and text box

    I would like to know if there is a way to click a checkbox created (says 'X') and have it show the word "FAILURE" in another text box.  I have only about 10-12 boxes that I want to have this done which is indicated by an exclamation point to the right of the check box.  Verification of the other boxes would not fail in the text box.

    George, WOW! It's great.  I tried every checkbox and everything works fine.  Thanks for all your help.  I am so grateful that you did.  Thank you once again.

  • y at - it a keyboard shortcut for go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the address bar?

    I can use Alt + D to reach the address bar to enter a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page was opened, using a shortcut key? I have the commands in the shortcut keys page doesn't recognize as not being what I want.

    Not as far as I know. Sites may assign a keyboard shortcut to a text field if they like, known as an AccessKey, but he is not necessarily going to be any consistency, and the site you may not be using one.

    It is possible, there could be an add-on or userscript to help with this. Or otherwise, someone might be able to write one for a particular site.

  • set a background image for a text box or label?

    Hey gang,

    I would like to put a background image for a text box or label.

    is there a way to do this?

    also if I put the bottom level of the container root and do the rest orders slightly transparent (opacity: 0.8 or something), the background appear through?

    Thank you

    J

    for your text box, define backgroundVisible: false & and/or upgrade the opacity to the low enough that you can see through it and place your background image behind the text box. (I belive opacity changes will affect the text as well).

    for labels, I used the method of the container as you described.

  • Spacing between several text boxes waiting for spacing

    Hello, I think I'm more or less on track with how I want to expose this design, but I have a question about how the text boxes are spaced of vertically. Here is my document:

    ind_cap.PNG

    I want the text to wrap the png of I inserted the floor plan. When the text gets close to the edge of the png, of course the text continues on the next line. To achieve this effect (not sure if it was the most effective method), I've created a new text box to create a new path by clicking on the Red more framed at the end of the box so that the text continues. Clearly, a novice here.

    My concern is the spacing between each box until the attack of the full text. My attack is set to 26 pt, but I spaced manually areas of text from second and third to match the General attack.

    If I had to change the line spacing, I have to manually set the spacing again box.

    Is - that the route right/only to go for what I want to achieve? Thanks in advance.

    I have to correct myself - I tried the text string with a PNG image transparent, and it did not work.  But do it the second way of drawing or reshaping the area of your image is in.

  • I'm looking for Javascript that can be part of a checkbox or a text box, or probably both who will open a document secured by a password?

    I'm looking for JavaScript that can be part of a checkbox or a text box, or probably both who will open a document secured (using a password entered correctly)?

    Is this possible?

    I think it would be easier to access as needed without having to directly access the Edit menu items.

    Also then reattach when the editing is complete.

    Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

    You can open a file by using a script, but you cannot specify the password file - open for her, if that's what you mean.

    In addition, you can apply a security policy to a file if it's going to be used in the drive, in Acrobat.

    What version of InDesign are you using? What operating system do you use?

    Tell us exactly how you create your text box (frame).

    The easiest way is to choose the tool of Type (T). Click and drag an image where you want to go.

    But, if you place the text to another program like Microsoft Word, click file > Place. Select the file and click Open. Drag-and-drop placement of text cursor to position it on the page.

    I just updated my indesign to CC of CS5. One thing I notice which is annoying is some text boxes and images go live. For example, if you close a text box in CS5 you close the box you see reformat the text to set the new size. In CC, the text does not reformat until you are done change the size of the box. It's the same for the images when resizing or rotation re. You don't know what you have until its finished. If you are a little guess instead of see what you're doing while. Is there a way to change this, or does anyone else have this problem. Maybe it's just what does CC. But I'm not a fan... Can anyone help?

    When using the image processing manages, click... for a while... then drag...
