Pardon my very n00bish question...I've only dabbled with LC a bit for the last couple years.
Working on a fillable form - and I'm wondering if there's a way to clear out the default value of a text field when the user clicks in it?
I've tried Googling about and searching these forums, but haven't found a good answer. Or at least one that I can understand...
Help, please and thank you!!! ![]()

Hi,
One way around this is to use a null pattern (in the Object > Field tab, click patterns). You can set the null pattern to be whatever string you want. When the user clicks inside the field, tha pattern is cleared and will only be visible if the field is null.
Example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=uqcNdyoPayTa2MbPb8F88A
You could also use script to clear the default value, but this can get tricky if the user inputs the default value.
See if the null patterns works,
Niall
