I would like to limit the characters a person can use in a text field using a text tag. The Adobe Sign Text Tag Guide has an example using :string(maxlen=10). However this is for passwords or entering social security and does not work for my situation because it does not allow for spaces. The application I am needing it for is for someone to be able to explain a situation. However, I want to prevent them from writing a noval by limiting the characters to 10,000 (approcimatly 2 pages worth).

Is there a text tag that would allow me to limit characters while also alowing for spaces?

Correct answer SimonESATS

{{test_es_:signer1:string(maxlen=10)}} allows for spaces, or do you just need letter no digits?

note that if you want to allow for 2 page you'll need 2 fields as a field cannot span across multiple pages. Also use the multiline option.

SimonESTATS,

Thank you for your response, it worked. My error was including char=alphanum thinking I had to define char. Excluding that allowed for spaces.

The code I used was:

{{#describe=*describe_es_:signer1:multiline(20):string(maxlen=8000)}}

This allows them to type about 2 pages. On the form it allows them to scroll up and down to see what they typed. I'm guessing your suggestion to have 2 fields is for printing purposes. I will have to see if the process will need to print, in that case I will make 2 fields.

Thanks,
