I created a PDF form to be distributed to a lot of clients. Inside the PDF form I created a lot of information buttons in javascrip. However, in some occasion there's a lot of text to show for instructions and when using a laptop specially, they can't see the bottom of the box because it goes off screen on the form. I know all about changing resolution and changing the view size as well, that isn't the problem. I need to resize the popup box to make it wider instead of longer, to be able to show the text properly. I was wondering if there's a way to adjust a popup box (or any javascrip created box for that matter), to play with the width and lenght size? I'm using Acrobat DC.
There's definitely a way to do this. I've done it before but can't remember where it was now. The box I had was quite small and I made it way longer somehow, just can't remember where I saw how to do this on the internet.
AFAIK, you can't set the alert window's width to a higher value than the maximum it allows.
If you make the text in it longer it just gets wrapped to the next line, even if it's a single word, and the window's height increases to accommodate it.
And where is the control for the maximum width you're talking about? There's got to be a specific place where you can gadge the size isn't there? Otherwise they need to do something about this because the width is way to small.
Wouldn't there be some kind of javascript command that can be entered to do this?
A Dialog object? What's the difference between the two? I don't know anything about Dialog object, I've been using the alert window everywhere because that's the one I know.
