Limiting Text Length

[ArtsCouncilBraz]

I'm very new to LiveCycle.

We have a form that allows users to type text into a box. The text continues past the set width of the box. We want the text to truncate - we don't want users to add more text than what there is room for.

When the form is printed, you can't see all of the text - you see what is in the first part of the box and then you see a "+" in the bottom right corner. It would be best if the user's options were restricted and it didn't allow overflow.

How would I go about accomplishing that?

Hi,

There are two choices.

The first is the easiest. Select the object and go to the Object > Field tab. Then tick the "Limit length to the visible area".

The other option is to allow the object to grow in size to accommodate additional input. This is more involved.

Hopefully the first option will work for uou.

Awesome! That was so easy. Thanks.
