Text field copy and paste over and over again :(

Is it possible to automatically paste an editable text field in a document, only on odd pages and in the same place on the page. I am able to pass odd page to odd page and do a "paste in place", but it takes forever and I don't want on a master page because then it is not editable unless I 'Override all Master Page items', as I prefer not to do. Any ideas?

Place it on a master page.

Why would you use 'Replace all Master Page items' if there is only one you want to replace? A Ctrl (or Cmd for Mac) + Shift + double click releases an element to a single master page.

  • Form fields copy and pasting one PFD to another

    Copy and paste form fields of a PFD to another while in form editing mode has stopped working. I did a hundred times and then the second document suddenly stopped to accept my objects to the Clipboard. That's happened?

  • Verification of the text field problem and requiring an option in the drop-down field

    I have a form with several fields that if the user enters information in one or more of the

    fields, I need to check that the drop-down list field is not empty.

    I got this to work, but now I find that if the user deletes the text in the text field, the user always receives the error message. Here is the script I use:

    If

    ((form1.page1.ListFilesFolders.rawValue) ! = null & & (form1.page1.windsNtwkAccess.rawValue) == null);

    {

    xfa.host.setFocus (form1.page1.windsNtwkAccess);

    xfa.host.messageBox ("Please make a selection in the field of Windows network."

    , 'Need to selection' , 1 , 0);

    }

    Thank you

    Makes sense... the field is null when the user deletes the text. You could put a white in these areas as default values and test for this instead of null. Now, when the user empty field, it will be null and will not empty so that the message will not appear.

    Make sense?

  • Rich programmatic text field copy

    I have an application page that the user enters in many areas. Many of the fields are the Rich Text Editor. Users want to duplicate the page and some of the areas including the text rich ones. No problem on the regular fields but I can't the rich text field that you want to copy. I tried the redirection Page and add the fields, but the rich text that gives a few words. I tried to redirect using javascript, but that has not copied the rich text. I also tried to create an element of application to keep the info from RT and pull it in, but it is empty. It seems that the issue of enforcement can not hold RT

    With the help of document.getElementById('RICHTEXT_ITEM').innerHTML Gets the field but may not enter the new page field.

    Hello

    If you like access CHKEditor element content using JavaScript and set to CHKEditor another try

    var lstr = CKEDITOR.instances.Px_ITEM_1.getData();
    CKEDITOR.instances.Px_ITEM_2.setData(lstr);
    

    Replace Px_ITEM_1 and Px_ITEM_2 with your actual element names.

  • Try to retrieve the contents of a text field and use it in a conditional statement

    Hello world

    I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo" and the button is called "genOrder".

    Initially, the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text with an appropriate order number field.

    I have need to check the text field for the data (content) before you write the order number, in this way, if an order number is already present in the text field, it will be over written.

    My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the tests, but I do not know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if the content is present!).

    If anyone can suggest how I can go about extracting the contents of a text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    DAVO

    currentOrderNo = this.getField("orderNo").value;

    If ("currentOrderNo == null | currentOrderNo ==" ") {}

    the field is empty, fill it with a new value

    } else {}

    the field is not empty, something else

  • Copy and paste links...-preserving formatting

    I have a report. At the top of each page, there are a series of links that point to other pages in the report. There are several sections of the report, and the links above vary for each section. Sometimes, these sections are short... and sometimes I need to add to the pages. When I add pages, I want to just copy and paste the links to existing pages in this section. But when I do that, the default value of the return to blue and underlined links. I don't want their blue and underlined. I want that they gray! How can I glue them so that links still work, but they remain gray and emphasis? See the photos below to better understand what I'm asking. Thank you very much!example.jpg

    Select the text in the two cases and watch the applied character Style. My guess is that the gray text has the character of hyperlink style, and he was replaced manually to get gray and emphasis. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is reasserting itself. Remove the gray text Style (or redefine Style to change so that it matches your formatting preferences).

  • Adding pages to form via JS and models. Stop the text to copy to the new page

    Hello community,

    In the last days, I was doing a crash course in Adobe acrobat and JavaScript. One of our clients asked us to make a PDF form with fields to fill and a button that will make a new copy of the form.

    I have text fields, model, and javascript for the button to load the model.

    My problem is that text in the fields on the first page is copied to the extra pages when they are made.

    I did a ton of research and found a lot of answerrs talk about having the renamed domain. I've included the part bRename to my JS, and text fields indicate that they are a differnet name, but he always pulls data from the first page.

    Here is the script I use. I'm also runing Acrobat X standard.

    var a = this.getTemplate ('new Page');

    a.Spawn ({bRename: true});

    Any suggestions would be a great help. I can provide necessary additional information.

    You can reset the fields on the newly created page. All fields on the page will have the prefix "Pn", where n is the number of the newly created page. Since your code adds the page at the end, the code to reset the fields that you can use after the code that generates the model can be:

    resetForm (["P" + (numPages - 1)]);

  • How to capture user input and display it in another text field

    Hey there,

    I create a simple screen that allows a user to enter text and I want to take what they get and appear in other fields of text on the same screen, so they do not have to retype. I'm using AS3. I read an article that gave me a few tips, but the code I use is not doing the job. I'm pretty new to Flash, so any help would be appreciated.

    Here is what I use:

    var Description: String;


    myText_txt.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, assignText);


    function assignText(myevent:Event):void {}
    Description = myText_txt.text;
    }

    textResults_txt.text = Description;

    My thoughts after reading the article (I think it's from Ned) should follow the first text field, myText_txt and assign this text to the variable Description. Then I tried to assign the variable Description to another field of text called textResults_txt. However, when I type in the first text field, nothing appears in the second.

    Any ideas? Am I using the wrong method to monitor the text box?

    Thank you for your time.

    Stephen

    You don't want to lose an ENTER_FRAME for this.  You must assign an event listener for the input textfield that listens to a CHANGE event.  The event handler for this listener function will simply match the textfield in the first second.

    myText_txt.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, assignText);

    function assignText(evt:Event):void {}
    textResults_txt.text = myText_txt.text;
    }

  • Convert path text field

    So I traced a shape. At one point, apparently, I accidentally clicked inside this shape with the text tool and transformed into a text field. I am now "cancellations" too far to go back. I would like to take this text field object and put it back in in a way that I can stroke and fill. In my layers palette, its marked as < type >. I tried a number of different copy, direct selection ideas and nothing has worked. How can I change this back?

  • Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF Tue Fill form with / date of the current day?

    I have a form for booking appointments, and here the date field to fill automatically with

    today's date and print it. I put in the format of the text field 'Date' and when I place the cursor in the

    today's date date field, poster. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.

    This action does need a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If Yes, where can I find that?

    Or y at - it another way to fit the text field (not counting as the current date by typing) to get the current date?

    Thank you.

    See example Acrobat JavaScript by Chris Dahl. The script can be an action script open document level or page to insert the date when the PDF file is open or use as a print action to fill the date just before printing the form. And the formatting of the field is 'None' because JavaScript applies the formatting.

  • Dynamic text field not updated to actionscript in the 2nd Frame

    I have a clip with two frames. In the 2nd frame there is a clip that has a text field.

    My goal is to some events that I will be proposing to the frame that has the clip with the text field.

    I'm trying to update the text field with a code something like: -.

    public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

    {

    My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

    questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

    arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

    }

    After some time I again back to the framework that has no movie clip masking so the clip

    public void masquer()

    {

    questBG.gotoAndStop ("idle");

    }

    The text field not updated since the actionscript code even if trace (arrowText.text) shows the updated value.

    Now, if I remove the clip of frames & change the updateTxtFld() as

    public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

    {

    (questBG.getChildByName ('arrowBG') as Sprite) .visible = true;

    arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field

    }

    Then it works very well with the updated text in the text field. It seems that there seems to be a problem in dynamic text field update in frames.

    I also checked that the incorporation of text is fine in both cases

    I created the FLAS using CS Professional 5.5 & I am trying to change the text field using actionscript running in Flex Builder 4.7.   Let me know if I need to send the fla (working and non-working version).

    you are the assignment of text to arrowText before the timeline then moves to "shine".

    Use the render event to assign the text:

    public void updateTxtFld(e:Event)

    {

    My goal is to certain events show the clip with the text field

    questBG.gotoAndStop ("glow");

    internship. Invalidate();

    this.addEventListener (Event.RENDER, assignTextF);

    }

    function assignTextF(e:Event):void {}
    arrowText.text = "of the text." arrowTextt has been awarded with the correct text field
    }

  • Text field increment number of legend - does not correctly load after the backup

    I am trying to create a field of dynamic legend who will be essential are text fields look like a list.  Initially, I searched on how to do this.  I finally found a way to do it, and it is simply to count the number of instances of the text field I and set the value of the legend:

    var curObject = prospectus.page1.step1.ObjectivesSubform.Objectives.instanceManager.count;
    prospectus. Page1.Step1.ObjectivesSubform.objectives [curObject-1]. Objective.Caption.Value text.value the Group concat (curObject, ":");

    And that helps my form works very well and the numbers to load fine in the form.  The problem I'm having is that after I save the form and reload, the figures date back to 1 for each text field.  Someone has an idea?

    * To test what I see, go to 'Objectives' and click Add target to create at least 2 additional text fields (so that you have at least 3 overall).  Save the form, and note that the numbers went from 1,2,3 to 1,1,3-triethoxyheptane.  It will be the same if you create any amount.  If you create 5 more it will go 1,1,1,1,5.  I'm puzzled.

    I think that it is related to the initialization of the form sub and how instance manager interprets the subshape County. The "count" on the instanceManager property is the current number of instances of the secondary form. When you add instances of the form in increments of 'count' and she is exposed as a sequential number incremented. However, after economy-close-open the form, the County is irrelevant until you add another instance.

    Try the 'instanceIndex' property and assigning the legend as follows:

    prospectus. Page1.Step1.ObjectivesSubform.objectives.objective::Initialize - (JavaScript, client)

    var CNT = Objectives.instanceIndex + 1;
    xfa.resolveNode("Objectives.Objective.caption.value.#text").value = cnt + ":";

  • How can I copy and paste text in a PDF document?

    I'm new to this kind of things Adobe Acrobat, and I wonder what I have to do, to be able to simply copy and paste from a PDF file to any ordinary document old.

    Hi don GST.

    Provided that the PDF is not secure or protected, you can simply drag your cursor over the text you want to copy, and then choose Edition > copy to copy text to the Clipboard. Then, you can change which application you want to paste in, then choose Edition > paste.

    You cannot select the text if the document was obtained by its creator. You can tell by looking for "Secure" in the title bar of the PDF file.

    Let us know how it goes.
