I'm going to occasionally talk about Adobe's Form Designer in this blog, because that's what I work on.
Designer comes with Acrobat Professional, although it's not installed by default. If you have Acrobat installed, and you don't have Designer, go dig out your Acrobat disc and install it. I'll wait here.
I have creative suite 2 premium. It includes adobe professional, however I cannot locate the Adobe's form designer. Any ideas where I can get this application
[I believe in CS2 this may have been an optional install - when you go through the installer check to see if, when you install Acrobat, there's a way to request Designer be installed along with it.]
I have designer 7 and when I go to save a form, the software does nothing. The screen hiccups but it does not save, nor does it ask me what filename I want. I've tried reinstalling the product and I've tried "Save As".
[Hi Debbie - I'm sorry I don't have anything to suggest here beyond giving Support a call and walking through the problem with them]
I'm trying to create a combo box with a list of names which shows up in the combo box but with more info
say,
John Smith
ph: 12345
work: 12345
mob: 12345
how do i do that?
[Designer's UI doesn't support that directly, but XFA does support newlines in the text for a Drop-Down List item. Type some text in for the item in the Field property page and put some text like $$$$$ where you want the newlines. Then go to the XML Source tab and search for $$$$$ and wherever it's found, just hit enter to replace it with a newline. Now your combo box should have items spanning lines.]
