Watermark text box

[Chuck]

We'd like to have some text displayed in the text box when no text has
been entered telling what the box is for, and when the box is clicked,
have the text cleared ready for input.

I don't see any way to do this in cenopdf.

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for asking. This will need a bit of Javascript programming. I will
make an example for you either today or tomorrow.

Thanks,
Yang

Please see the attached example. The key is to put the following script into
properties > Advanced > Format trigger.

if(event.target.valueAsString.length == 0)
event.value = "INPUT SOMETHING";

Thanks,
Yang

Thanks, works beautifully, I tried a javascript to do this, but this works and mine didn't.

 

Really apperciate the help, it makes a difference.

 

It would be nice it the watermark was just an option for the text box too.  Maybe with a grayed out text???

 

anyway, this works, and is pretty simple to implement.  again thanks for the quick response.

You are welcome Chuck. It is a good idea to add an option for this. We will do that in next release.

 

Thanks,

Chuck,

 

I am glad to let you know that we have added this watermark feature in the new build. Please download the latest build at:

http://www.lystech.com/download-pdf-form-tool.aspx

 

You should see that in the text box properties there is a new box called Watermark, which is for this.

 

Thanks.

Boy was that quick.  Sigh now that the other project is done, I'll just have to wait until the next time it needs updating.
