Hi,

We are developing an Adobe Form.

We are facing the problem when we want to show a i/o field in more then 1line.

Although we have made  it into multiple line for that field it is showing the extra line beneath the field but we want it to get start from the starting of the line

in next line.

Below is the Example

Getting in this Way:

The designation would be "President of

and would be joining.          Global services"

Want in this Way:

The designation would be "President of

Global Services" and would be joining.

Regards,

Shashikanth

Hi Shashikant,

We can achieve it by using Floating fields.

Floating fields allow you to position your text dynamically in an place you want.

How to use Floating Field?

In couple of steps you can create it.

Drag and drop a text object in your form.

Type the Mater in it

The designation would be "President of

Global Services" and would be joining.

Select the text 

"President of

Global Services"  and in the insert tab in the top select Create floating field.


Now you are good to go.


Write a simple script for the floating field to populate its value.

You can change its to bold if you want.



Please let me know if you have any issues.

Hi Sivanand,

Thanks for Reply!

My requirement is when i am passing a dynamic Field from Interface which would be populated in between the Text Lines and if the Dynamic Field length is more it should continue in next Line, but in my case it is getting truncated

eg:

Getting in this Way:

The designation would be "President of -------> Line 1

and would be joining.                            --------> Line 2

Getting "Global services" Truncated.

To Overcome this i have made the Dynamic Field property to Multiple Line, but when i am doing so it is showing but continuing beneath the Dynamic File instead of the staring of Line.

Getting in this Way:

The designation would be "President of -----> Line 1

and would be joining.          Global services"------> Line 2


Want in this Way:

The designation would be "President of ------> Line 1

Global Services" and would be joining. -------> Line 2

Please let me know for any more inputs.

Thank You,

Shashikanth

Hi Shashikanth,

We can achieve it through floating fields. The above Image is cropped from the PDF output I have developed.

There are Few steps to achieve it.

Will try to include as many Images posible.

Step 1: From the Object Library Please drag and drop the Text Object on to the Body page.

Step 2: In the Hierarchy view, select the Text Object and wrap it into a Sub Form.

Step 3: Type the required text into the Text Object. Select Height - Expand to fit

Step 5: Select the text which is dynamically placed at Run time and make it into floating field by selecting Insert - Floating Field.

Step 6: Map the Floating field, Which is placed in the Subform where the Text object is wrapped, with the Interface Global Variable ( Or any other Field as required ).

Step 7: Select the Floating field and Change the style to bold.

That's it...

Please let me know if nay additional details required.

Please Reward if Useful.

Regards,

Sivanand Ala

Is that text printed from a text module?

Hope the check box (Expand to Fit) of width is checked?
