Hi, I'm creating an interactive price ticket for a store but having an issue. My pound sign is designed to be smaller than the font size of the price itself, I want to anchore this small pound sign into the interactive price field and make it move with the content i.e. the full content centred whether the price be £39, £399 or £3999 - is this possible? Thanks in advance.

That's PDF. Is this an Acrobat question or an InDesign question?

  • If InDesign, please share the InDesign file with frame edges and hidden characters visible.
  • If Acrobat, we can move your question to that forum.

Essentially every text box needs to be interactive, I just need the small pound sign anchored to the value (which is editable).

As @BobLevine suggested - put it together with the price - then use Nested Styles and apply CharStyle.

Hi @Scott22497372fxfl and welcome.

 

What's an interactive price field? Are you using data merge? Creating PDF form fields?

Ticket attached above. The interactive fields on the tickets will link directly to an external .csv. Basically we have 10 stores and usually I create an editable ticket and the stores fill them in - I want to create them all internally with a .csv and save time.

Put the pound sign in with the number in the spreadsheet. If you're using Excel you should be able to format the cells with a currency symbol.

Why do you want to anchor it? 

 

Can you post a screenshot?

Hi, sample attached. The blue circled number is the interactive price, the magenta circled pound sign I need fixed to the interactive element so it moves whether the price is £39, £399, £3999. In summary, I need the pound sign anchored to the interactive text.
