Hi, I have 9 text fields, I want to stretch all these text fields with data overflow. Thanks in advance. Joined: Jul 2 - am. Last seen: 3 years 10 months ago. Thank you for your help. I'm not able to make the font smaller nor the field bigger.
He wants to be unable to type beyond the edge of the printable area of the field. He often does this, sends off the document, gets it signed, approved, whatever, then when it's printed the overflow text just shows a little plus sign- indicating there is overflow text but without printing it. I googled and found a list of options, but I don't know how to do them. Limit the allowed number of characters in each field preferred 2. Check that box! Do you know if there is a way to get the field to resize as the user creates new lines?
With the instructions above the field resizes to fit the content after we click another field onBlur I would guess. Do you know if a row can expand to accomodate multi-line text fields in its cells?
If it can be done, then what are the settings to achieve that? I am using a table in flowable layout with repeating rows. I can probably size the rows to be two lines of text tall but if that height could be dynamic that would be much better!
I would guess the simplest way to do that is from the tools:layout tab. You could set the default height. Be sure to post back if you figure out any new methods for automating this! I will need the end user to save what they have filled in as a static pdf and for them to keep the version that they can edit again. Okay I see you did answer my question in your article. So now I have another question. How would I add page numbers to the document. I am trying to make my PDF templete form expand in LiveCycle but I have changed everything to flowed except the sheet.
I dont think I would be able to start this from scratch as it has alot of tables, radio button, check boxes, and drop downs. Is there anything I can do? But I need it to push text sideways. I changed the setting in the text field to width and put a text box with text in it beside it but it just runs right over the text box instead of pushing it to the side. You should do a video of this and put it on YouTube. Oh My God, What a great sample it was.
I was wondering about that same from the last 7 days but got nothing on the net and even i failed myself. But you made my day. Thanks alot. How about sharing the apparently Top Secret secret to putting a text field into a subform? There is no information anywhere about doing that.
Awesome instructions!!! I had no idea what you were talking about half of the time but I was able to follow.
And… it worked! This is gold dust. I work in a special schools where we use a lot of forms Individual Education Planning Forms,etc. Staff were exorcised that the fields could not resize. Do I need to move to PC? Thanks Again. I need to create a dyanamic pdf that will have a paragraph of copy but I need to insert into that paragraph a variable field that must be able to grow with the variable information as well as reflow the other text of the paragraph.
I need help! Great instructions! I have a 7 column table named Table1 with a combination of text input, numeric input and calculated fields. Table1 is wrapped in a Subform called Table that is set to Flowed. Subform Table is wrapped in another subform called Header which is also set to Flowed. Is there some reason the digital signature feature is disabled in your examples? If you have any notes on configuration after you get your LC Designer installed, pass them on.
I use Livecycle ES4 v11 — Other than Livecycle Server — do you know if there is there a way to insert xml data into a template via PHP and maintain floating fields globally bound to text boxes?? I can inject xml data into a static pdf with no problem but the floating fields in flowable containers is stumping me. Great question. When using floating fields with global binding I cannot discover a way to find to reference the floating field.
Ctrl-click on the field that you would like to include in your code and the correct syntax to access that object should be inserted into your code for you. But the data was just an imported word document and I cannot figure out what to select on the hierarchy to include the proper fields. The hierarchy is very confusing. Right; anytime your pdf is generated from a word document the hierarchy is going to be complex. Personally I found it to be unreasonably so. I want to know how to position a checkbox control at the end of a text of variable length.
Can someone help? I am following your instructions to a T, and your 2nd form works the way it is supposed to. However, my form is still giving me the plus sign and the field is not expanding as expected. Anything that you are aware of that would prevent it working according to what you have here? I was able to get text boxes and labels to shift, but they would not shift to the 2nd page. I went through the same steps you advised I check, but nothing would extend it to the second page.
