how to provide text formatting options to user from a text field

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

My requirement is - in the interactive form, a comments field needs to be provided where user should be able to enter text with formatting options like

• Headers
• indentations
• bold/italic
• bullet points and numbers

Once user enters the formatted texts in a text field, data needs to be displayed/printed in the same format. Could you help me on how to provide these formatting options to the user for a particular text field?

I understand that once I define the text field with format XHTML (with RTF), user formatting can be captured and displayed in the same way. But I am not sure on how to provide the formatting options for the text field.

Thank you,

Madhu

Hi,

if you select a text field for Rich Text and the press Ctrl + E you'll get a bar for all available text formatting options in Acrobat/Reader.
