Text field - value color. New user.

I am painfully self-taught and using LiveCycle Designer ARE 2 on Windows 10.  I am designing a pdf form (via the rights of readers, users can enter text) and everything that has happened - pdf exactly necessary functions - but I need to deal with some visual aspects and here's the hitch...

I want to the values area of some areas of text entry to fill with a color, all leaving the entire text box & legend area white/no fill.  After a cargo of experimentation, I thought I had this figured out using the following:

In fashion designer...

Select the desired text field > tab > field tab > appearance > select custom in the appearance menu > in the custom appearance window that appears I then select background fill > Style = solid.

Can I choose a color from the first of the two paint bucket icons (the one on his right is grey out), click OK and - presto - the values area has a fill Uni in the color I chose. Exactly what I want.

The problem is when I leave the designer view and select the preview PDF tab, my colors are gone and view what were their default values. Return to the designer view and the colors are if I put them. Huh?

I would appreciate help with this.

Thanks in advance!

Try to uncheck "highlight the existing fields.

In the Viewer tab if you press the "Esc" key, you'll be up the toolbars it would look in regular acrobat. Then in the header/purple on the top toolbar right you have the choice to highlight fields. Which will highlight the fields by using the same kind of coloring/properties options you have changed earlier so that the choice "replaces" your colour of the fields if that makes sense.

If my answer helps please mark as correct and do not hesitate to ask anything else. I'm happy to help if I can

  • Clear text fields values without submit?

    Hello

    I have a screen with some text fields, two-button (first button runs a procedure of search and the other would erase the values in order to start a new search). The user wants to be able to clear the fields values without going through the submitted page. How can I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    You could change the second page your buttons execute a javascript function that will be the effect on the erasure of field. Change this target of buttons to be a URL. For the URL, specify

    JavaScript:clearFields();

    Add this javascript in the page header.

  • Text field - fill color

    I develop a form with a drop-down list and several text fields. Based on the user select on the drop down, other fields will change as mandatory or read-only

    To improve ease of use, I want to grey out those not required / only fields in reading.

    I'm doing it with the following script:

    this.resolveNode("textField1").fillColor = "195,195,195";

    However, legend and input area are gray out.

    Is there any script which will be gray on the box only?

  • Adding (or divide, multiply, etc.) in the text field values

    Hello world

    I'm trying to calculate values in fields of text entered by the user (who didn't accept numbers) as well as the values selected by the user drop-down list boxes. I have a function to a button:

    reviewQ.calcBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, calcAns);
    function calcAns(e:MouseEvent):void
    {
         reviewQ.calcAns_text.text = "Your calculated result is " + parseInt(Q1.Q1_text.text) + parseInt(Q2.Q2_cb.selectedItem.data) + parseInt(Q3.Q3_text.text) + parseInt(Q4.Q4_cb.selectedItem.data);
    }
    

    Now, all I get is the actual values entered into the text fields and selected in the drop-down list boxes. How can I get the sum of these values to display on my 'calcAns_text.text '?

    Thank you for your help,

    Rafa.

    You have to build your own filtering for values.  If you think that decimal values, then you will need to plan and test for the presence of a comma in a numeric string and then do not use parseInt(); (what creates an integer value), but use instead Number();  You will need to filter the commas in the numbers in the string before creating the value used for the calculation.

  • Can you create a text field entered by the user that the content of the flow in a subform?

    I'm working on a project to convert into a document library of more than 600 forms from Word to PDF, most of the time it's simple and binding the fields to the database schema and use subforms works very well - however, there are some cases where there is a combination of input fields by the user mixed with fields of database and in some cases , the fields in the end user are all there, but the amount of content can vary from 250 characters to thousands.  The project manager wants a PDF that allows users to enter any amount of text they should and have the function of shaping the way it is as if all the fields have been populated by the database - I don't know of a way to make that work only if the content is first registered in the schema (or implement CM and have all users working in LiveCycle, but the basic data use PDF, take her is not an option right now).

    If anyone has any ideas how to operate the these things I would be very happy to hear about.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    If you can post your form in the post, I can have a look and give my comments.

    I created a sample file for your reference...

    (1) Flowed is set to the content property for Page1.

    (2) each text box is placed inside a subform that is also a property content value Flowed.

    (3) in the properties of the form, as the default tab, set the format of PDF rendering dynamic XML form.

    (4) in the properties of the form, on the overview tab, specify the Type of Preview as "Interactive form" and preview XML Adobe as a 'dynamic XML form' form. (this step is to preview the PDF file in the Designer).

    (5) to save the form as dynamic XML form. (File-> Menu save under).

    I hope this helps.

  • show or hide text fields based on another text field value

    Hi, I have 3 text fields totals. by default, first text field is visible & other hidden two. what I want to do is if enter all the values in the first text box, other two text fields should automatically visible. Likewise, if I remove the value in the first text box, and then two other fields should automatically hide again. so thanks for giving me a java script for that. also I need javascript for hidden text fields.

  • Change the display of text field value based on the value (short sample code provided)

    I read around on it for a few days, but I still can't get it works well.

    I have a field of text called "W1SnC1". In fact, I have several domains to execute it. That's why I tried to make the generic script below. Basically, I want to change the properties > form field to "visible but does not print ' if the text field contains ' - '. (As a note side '-' is the default value). I put the script in the following properties > validate > run the custom validation script:

    Its odd but once in a while it works :-) I think I must be clicking on something that the queues of validation in these moments. However, I need some general help. Did someone mind giving advice on what to change?

    Try something like this:

  • Alpha ignored by the Flash CS3 text field value

    It is a problem, I noticed in Flash CS3. I checked livedocs and noted in Flash8 too:
    Comment by rainair:
    leader = 00002437.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveD ocs_Parts

    So, I have a clip in which I put a text field. I've done the transparent clip (setting alpha to 0) and everything is OK (the pliers and the deposited text are not visible) while I'm still working with the timeline and stage. When I test or publish the movie the text field is always visible. I have a Flash Player 9,0,115,0 installed on my computer.
    I did some tests and found that:
    If the text field is static text, it WORKS. Text field has the same alpha value as the clip that holds it.
    If the text field is a dynamic text it does not. Submitted text is visible.
    If the deposited text is entered and there is NO character to incorporate, the text field IS visible (it looks like the alpha value is 100).
    If the text field is the input text and incorporate characters, the deposited text IS NOT (as expected) visible.
    It's strange. I'd say it's a bug.

    BTW, it seems that you can add comments to Flash 8 livedocs (after clicking on the add comment button, you are redirected to a log in page and you can submit a comment), but when I went to Flash CS3 livedocs you can't. There is a message 'comments are no longer accepted for Flash CS3. Flash CS4 is the current version. To discuss Flash CS3, please use the Adobe forum. ». This nonsense!

    Wow, you don't need to go through this whole process just to embed fonts in a dynamic text field that is already on scene. Click the field in your text on the stage, click the character of dipping and embed the characters you need. Fact.

  • Copy value of text fields in the new instance.

    I have a subform where I use "TAG.instanceManager.addInstance (1);" to create a new instance of the subfrom, but I also want to have a button that creates a new instance that copies the values of the current instance. (See Image below, also provided hierarchy if that helps)   Is it possible to have the values to be copied to the new instance?  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Example.png

    Hierarchy.png

    Hello

    If you clone the data node that the TAG subform is bound before the addInstance (1) then the new nodes form binds new data nodes.

    So try this JavaScript in the click event of your CopyTagBtn

    tags var = page1.resolveNodes ("TAG [*]");

    Download the last marker to clone

    var tag = tags.item (tags.length - 1);

    Create the new set of data to bind to the

    tag.parent.dataNode.nodes.append (tag.dataNode.clone (true));

    Add the new instance of tag, which will bind to the new data set

    TAG.instanceManager.addInstance (1);

  • How to change a text field value based on a drop down menu?

    Hello experts.

    I have a simple form with a very long drop-down list, and two text boxes.  I use a table to fill textbox1 based on the value selected in the drop-down list, and it works as expected.  Some of the values in the drop-down list, but not all, should cause textbox2 become unalterable.

    Does anyone have an example script for this?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can do the TextField2 as readonly using the Script based on the value in the drop-down list.

  • Change the field values of multiple text searching a word/words in their name.

    Hello

    So in my document, I load all the text fields roughly the same name than just with slight variations in their name.

    For example:

    FldTxt

    FldTxt1

    P1. TemplateName.FldTxt

    P1. TemplateName.FldTxt1

    ... Etc.

    The way this works is that each individual text box represents a parameter for a single element, so in this case there are 4 products.

    Is the way in which these parameters are selected, the user presses a button that generates a copy of a template page.

    On this page are a group of checkboxes, buttons and drop-down lists, these particular text fields display the value of a drop-down list.

    This is so that when the user has finished with the generated page, it can be removed and all the information is stored on the main page for later in the process.

    Because of how the elements of work means that fields can either displays a 'None selected' or option selected, BUT they cannot stand by the option that was selected.

    For example;

    FldTxt "none".

    FldTxt1 "selected Option2.

    P1. TemplateName.FldTxt "selected Option2.

    P1. TemplateName.FldTxt 'None Selected '.

    I hope this explains the theory behind it.

    So I wonder is what I could put these text fields values by searching for a keyword in their name? For example. If the field has "FldTxt" in its name, and its value is not equal to "None Selected", change its value to the value of the drop-down list of the most recent.

    The reason why I want to do it in this way is because there is no predefined number of these text fields, there might be only 2 or 200 because it depends on the number of items in the form.

    So I imagine it would go something like this;

    for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
        var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
        var nameSearch = //search for keywords in a field name
        var dropdown = //the name of the dropdown
        if (f.nameSearch == "FldTxt" && if f.type = "textfield") {
            if (f.value !== "None Selected") {
                f.nameSeach.value = dropdown.value;
    

    My apologies if the syntax is incorrect or even impossible, but I don't know exactly what I'm asking check I just know what would be the outcome.

    I know that we can search for words in a document so I wonder if it is possible for domain names

    Your code is not quite correct. If I understand this code should do the trick (you may need to adjust the names of fields and values, however):

    var nameSearch = "FldTxt";
    var dropdown = this.getField("Dropdown").value;
    for (var i=0; i		   
  • How can I add a new page dynamically based on the non recoverable text field?

    Hi all

    I created a form with subform flow and non-reusable text fields. When the user fills the long content, the shape is cut. Y at - it a way to dynamically add pages based on the content that the user fills the non recoverable text field?

    Thank you

    Check that the parent of the subform also has a fluid layout. If you have the structure below, both page 1 and subform must have a flow layout.

    Page1 (must be the flow)

    subform (must be the flow)

    TextField (let multiple lines and will expand to fit the height)

    If you have done all that, then it should work.
