LiveCycle es2

Acrobat X

Object = Text Field

Pattern Button, Display Tab

Display pattern with asterisk displays space.  Need asterisk to actually display, NOT Space.  Display Pattern = text{*999999999*}

Pulled all hair out 2 weeks... thanks

Goal:  user input in formfield will display *user input* upon exit in Bound Text Field formatted with barcode 39 font

Now user must key in *, @ 1st and last character.  Trying to make it so I don't have to rely on user to key in *

I can write javascript if necessary, just can't figure out what to write???

Have you tried to use the Unicode character value?

You could also concatenate the asterisk on either side of the number.
