Hi, There smart people from Adobe.

I have very interesting question for which i search all day and cant find how to make it

Here is the case:

I have clients which not have Adobe InDesing, Illustrator or etc.....they have only standart Acrbot DC.

The want me to make fillable form in InDesign which i have to then make in Fillable PDF which have to have fillable text fields where they can copy paste normal text from other file which will paste in mirror way like in the image bellow.

Because after that they will print on transparent A4 lists.

My questions is there is a way to crate this kind of fillabe text field in Acrobat DC where you can type mirrorly. Please dont ask what is this transparent A4 lists because the client dont want to tell what they are.

Thank you for you answers....i hope you can help me

Best regards

You can probably find a font that will do that (ie. display each letter as its mirrored image), but you'll have to reverse the value of the field after pasting the text into it for it to come out like you've described. That can be done using a simple custom validation script:

event.value = event.value.split("").reverse().join("");

I think this is the only option, but maybe someone has a better idea.

Try Googling "mirror text font" or something like that.
