Let me know if you'd be interested in a tutorial about some more advanced acrobat form features. It's for example possible to limited what data can be typed in a form field, limiting character amounts, only numbers etc.
Hi, do you mean make an image a button, this is possible, or a button for attaching an image when filling in the form? The later is not something I think is possible with a PDF form wirh indesign.
Hi Kevin, Thanks for making the form fields tutorial-it was very helpful. I'd like to fines my form a little and I'm hoping you can help. I have created a field successfully but it is light blue and I'd like it white-I don't like the look of the form. I'd like it to look more like a page that users can fill out. Is there a way to make the form field white? Thanks so much.
Hi, glad to hear you found the video helpful. Is the form field blue in acrobat/reader? That might just be the highligthing in acrobat that can be turned off. I show that at 11.05.
Thanks for the video! Is there a way to have text overlaying the field that would go away once clicked on/filled in? For example, having a "Enter Here" on top of a fill-in field in cases where it may not be obvious to fill in.
Hi, I briefly looked into it, I don't think the feature is available in InDesign, In Acrobat you can set a default value but to have it disappear when clicking on the field would apparently require a custom script according to a forum post i found.
Hi there. I followed your tutorial and it was excellent. Thank you! I did have a problem though. It seems that when I open the document in Acrobat, all of the fields are blue, even after I type in the data. Did I format the INdesign document wrong? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Hi super happy to hear it, yes if you go back to the video at 10:55 I show how to turn that of. It's just a highlighting that acrobat adds, but it won't show up if you print it.
Hi, sadly I don't think indesign lets you do it. But you can in Acrobat. In the menu I showed at around 10:30 in the video, under options you can set alignment for text field. :)
To bad they have not updated this since late 0s o so... the styling of the elements is so outdated. Also let input 100 numbers manually. Really wonder why we need to manually input a list completely.
@@ccpipe but I actually ended doing the same. This way you can have a print version and interactive version in 1 file. Than I used the layers to hide the interactive part for print

Wow! In your video tutorial you answered all the questions I had in my mind about the interactiv forms in indesign! Well done, and thank you!
That's awesome and thank you
Very concise and to the point, thank you!
Glad to hear it, thanks
is there a way to add a photo button? thank you

You can style the field as you want, no need for double fields one over the other
Okay, when I tried it I didn't get it to work, maybe I'll try it again :)

I don't understand how to find what you are referencing (11.05). Please clarify. Thanks.@@ccpipe
Sure, I mean the timestamp, 11 minutes 5 seconds into the video. :)
Got it. Thanks so much! @@ccpipe

@@ccpipe You are awesome. thank you
HI, how can I please alignment the text in the box to the centre.. :) thank you

@@ccpipe Thank you, it works. :)

Agreed, InDesign could use some updates to certain tools that feel quite outdated.

That's pretty much what my thought was as well.👌
No ability to center text
For some reason no, but if you open it in Acrobat you can change it there. I have a follow up video for acrobat features.
