    tooltip

    shay_df Community Member

      when i create a form on acrobat XI and let it creates fields automaticly, it inserts unclear values to the "tooltip" field like that: ÌÈÁ¯·_Row_1.

      i think it's hapening because i use hebrew fonts.

      is there a way to make the acrobat not to create these tooltip fields automaticlly?

          No, you have no control over this, but you can run a simple script afterwards to remove them. If you'd like help with this, post again.

              You can use the following script in the Mouse Up event of a temporary button that you create manually:

               

              // Loop through all of the fields in the document

              for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {

               

                  var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));

               

                  // Set the tooltip text to nothing   

                  if (f) {

                      f.userName = "";

                  }

               

              }

               

               

              When you click the button, the code will execute and it will clear the tooltip text of all of the fields. You can then delete the button. You can run the same code just as easily from the interactive JavaScript console or a temporary bookmark or link.
