• Smart txt reflow - how do you work with several text boxes?

  Hello

  I create ID cards to work, for 650 employees. I had used the reflow of text before smart on other jobs and I don't foresee any problems with its use for this project. To explain my problem:

  I'm doing a template with a trial of ten employees file. The design on each card, it is a name and a unique ID to be used. The name is 18pt and code 10pt.

  On my main page, I have a block of text for the name and a text block for the employee ID. The text blocks are as wide as the work plan but only high enough to adapt to a single name by image to the relevant point size.

  On the first page of my document, I select 'place' and then select the text file with all the names, I get the change of cursor in the image of the text, I hold SHIFT for the debit option and click on my name text box. InDesign automatically creates 9 new pages, and I now have a 10 page document. So far, perfect.

  I select "place" again, choose the employee code text file, click on my block of text in code used on the first page, and repeat the same process as above.

  My problem starts - I want codes for the employee to just flow through ten pages, as the names, but when I place the codes file and select the text on the first page, inDesign creates 10 new pages after the tenth page. So I find myself with 20 pages - the first ten pages with names and nothing in the code text boxes and the last ten pages with the codes but nothing in the name text boxes.

  I am at a loss as to why he does this. I was playing with the settings in the preferences, but nothing changes. I tried to select both the two text files and import at the same time.

  How do you work with several text boxes and several import of text file on a doicument? There are no extra spaces or something like that in my text files.

  I really don't want to have to link all text blocks - that will forever, but right now it's the only way I can get it to do what I want.

  Also, is there anyway to specify the font and the size of the text is important as? Because it keeps import as minion pro, even if the text boxes on the master are set to the correct font and size. Not a big deal though.

  Help, please! Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

  Ah, I think I misunderstood your original post and thought you wanted to do 10 badges per page. If it's only one, you need only a set of images. Same procedure for setting in place, but you have no need to screw anything or use the step and repaet to make copies.

  Place the file name in the frames of name and ID will add pages and then return to the first page and place the numbers. Just don't forget to put the bad slider in the space where the framework and to stay away from the guides (if you click on a guide, ID will ignore masters executives) and hold down the SHIFT key when you click.

• Link several text boxes to the same variable

  I make labels in Illustrator and want to automate the process somewhat by using variables. I have places date 4 on labels and would rather just change a variable 4.

  Is it possible to create 1 variable and link several text boxes to this variable?

  I tried selecting the boxes and pressing "making dynamic text." This creates several variables that appear to be linked – if I change the name of one, the name of any changes to variables.

  However, if I save variable library and try to change the value of the variable, I get a "the incoming variable library is invalid" error when I try to load it back in. This happens if each variable is bound to a single text box.

  Any ideas on how to make this work?

  Nope. You will need four variables, unless the design lends itself to a direct effect, such as the transformation of the copies. The symbols are not an answer: a text object linked as a variable cannot be stored as a symbol and still working its variable behavior.

• How to convert several text boxes to the checkboxes

  Nice day

  in the last months, we are working on Adobe Acrobat DC and we have the following problem when we create pdf forms.

  It is quite common for us to convert a Word format in PDF form. Then, we select 'Prepare form' in Adobe DC to insert/change/remove the created fields (text boxes, check boxes, etc.). During this conversion, there are fields that must be boxes instead of text boxes. In order to proceed, we all have remove them and then re-create them which takes a lot of time.

  Is there a feature that allows you to select several fields and move them from one type to another (for example, convert all text in checkboxes areas)?

  Concerning

  -C' is not correct. You can select specific fields to convert from a list or based on their name, the field type and the page.

  -Yes, it is compatible with all versions of Acrobat (probably not until version 7, though).

  -The rest exactly the same size.

• Drop-down list complicated, making several text boxes

  Hello everyone. I searched high and low for something to talk about exactly how to do what I want - but I'm not finding anything that is quite right. Anyway, I want a drop down (with potentially hundreds of choice - I'd like to limit the number, but there is really no way...) where someone can choose their selection, then, after this election, several other text fields are filled with the corresponding information. I would like to have a file of database with the drop-down list of choices, then define somehow this on the ground and then what information goes into the next text box. This way you can get something from the menu drop down and the other boxes get filled correctly. Is this possible?

  Hi Joel, I think, if the information does not change much then your best bet is to stay in shape, as independent as possible, is to have the information contained in the form.  There are a number of connectivity problems that your users could suffer with an external data source.  I do not expect performance to be a problem, I developed forms with thousands of selections in a drop down, you can find the example I did a drop-down list of useful research in the Adobe Cookbook section, http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Drop_Down_List_Control_with_auto_complete__Searcha-18402.h tml, if your data contains a hierarchy then there are a number of examples around dependent dropdown lists to try , like this one http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com.au/2011/01/multi-level-dropdown-list.html. I'm glad you found my comments useful, cordially. Bruce

• 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:

  

  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.

  

• How do you change the font in several text boxes?

  I just started using illustrator and I can't understand it.  Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

  I made a bunch of text boxes using the text tool.  Is there a way I can link the boxes and easily change the font?

  Thank you

  Justin

  No need to link them. Select all, and then change the font.

  As with any other object, many text objects can be selected by shift-click or drag with the rectangle Selection tool. If you make a habit of placing all the text on a dedicated layer, you can lock the other layers and just select all (Cmd + A Mac / Win Ctrl + A).

• How to make a text box appear in a PDF file in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another area of text?

  I'm doing a text box appears in a PDF document in InDesign when the cursor of the user hovers over an another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the coast of the first text box. I tried the following with adjustment of various, and it does everything just for me.

  Display a different button on turnover

  You can create a hotspot in which clicking or mousing over an object contains another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons and use the show/hide button action to show and hide the button target.

  • Create an object to use as the "source" button. In the buttons Panel, click the icon of the object to convert to A button.

  • Place the image you want to use as the button target and convert it to a button.

  • Select the target image and select hidden until this that triggered at the bottom of the Panel buttons.

    The image must be hidden in the exported document that can be displayed when the "source" button is clicked or wriggle on.

  • Click the source button and create two different actions, one for show the image target and target the other to hide the image.

    If you want the image to appear when the mouse is over the button source, use events on Roll Over and On Roll Off. If you want the image to appear when you click on the source button and disappear when you release, use events on a click and release. In both cases, use the show/hide action buttons to show or hide the target button. See the interactive buttons.

  • Use the Preview Panel to test the buttons.

  Should work...  On your last point (not 12?) I get the feeling that you have exported your doc as Adobe PDF (Print)? You must instead use (Interactive) Adobe PDF...

  

• SOS! Change of several text boxes.

  SOS! -Hey everyone! I was wondering if you could help on something - I want to change several textboxes with the same text, but at the same time, instead of doing one by one. How can I manage it? 1 million thanks!

  The only way to do this is to create a block of text as a dynamic object and then duplicate that where you want to place. By doing this, but if you want to have different text later, then you will need to click with the right button on the double specific and then select "New smart layer copy", which will then break away from the rest of the duplicates.

• The sum of several text boxes that are greater than 1

  Hello

  Relatively new to javascript and need to get a script that calculates the sum of the ten boxes of text with a value higher than 1.

  I have a script for counting, I'm not sure how to do the sum. Script is below.

  I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I'm not versed in this right now.

  var total = 0;

  for (var i = 1; i < = 10; i ++) {}

  If (Number (this.getField("Text"+i).valueAsString) > 1) total ++;

  }

  Total = Event.Value;

  Any help would be appreciated.

  It summarizes a number of fields by simply adding the value of the field to the variable used to accumulate the numerical values of the fields to be summarized...

  var total = 0;

  for (var i = 1; i)<= 10;="" i++)="">

  If (this.getField("Text"_+_i).value > 1) total = total + Number (this.getField("Text"_+_i).value).

  }

  Total = Event.Value;

• "Space before" several text boxes

  Change the space before selecting several areas of text seems doesn't work does not correctly as I noticed in the same case.

  The elements menu indicates the exact spacing and padding that you have defined at the page with menu items, I checked the State but don't see a difference.

  I need to know more what and exactly you see the difference of padding or spacing than what you have in the design view and preview. Please report screenshots of the design showing the value of spacing and padding value you defined and another preview that you can get on the browser so that we can understand the difference that you mentioned.

  Thank you

• Make the text automatically change color when circulating in several text boxes

  I produce a book and want to be able to have a few pages in black with white text. However, the text will be fluid and movement back and forth across the areas of text and I don't want to end up with white text on white background and vise virsa.

  I work at the CS6.

  IIRC, this has come up before, maybe a year or to go back in time. I think that there is a solution. Someone might remember more about this.

• How to export a graphic waveform and entry form (String text) user in a single .csv file information?

  First of all, please forgive my ignorance. I'm new to labview.

  I would like to create a .csv (or any other excel document) file with the user input (time, title of Test, operator and test sample) at the top of a spreadsheet, and then the signal chart data in the same sheet.

  You must save the png on your pc, then do it at your block diagram.

  As the waveform is periodic, you just have the t0 and dt, but if you want to assign all the points that have been recorded, you can try something like that.
