Adobe Form, Line Spacing of Paragraphs

[Former Member]

Dear colleagues.

I have an Adobe Form (created by transaction SFP in

an ERP 6.0 system, using Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1).

This form contains a simple table to display some text in the form.

The table has just one column for strings (type Text field, field

format Plain Text only, value type Read Only).

It works fine. However I would like to reduce the spacing of the text

lines in the table.

Would you please tell me how this can be done?

(I tried the following, but it was NOT successful: I opened palette

"Paragraph". Under "Spacing", the value of "Above:" and "Below:" was

already 0pt. So I changed the option of "Line Spacing:" from "Single"

to "Exactly" and assigned to "At:" a smaller value, e.g. 5pt.

Then I tested my modified form, and I was very surprised: The

spacing of the text lines did not change, but the width of the text

lines was reduced! All letters were truncated: The above and below

part of the letters disappear suddenly.)

Would you please give me some hint?

Best regards,

Holger

Hello Holger,

could you please clarify that you have a table with one column and in each row you have some multi line text and you would like to reduce the distance between the lines or you have one line per row and wish to reduce the distance between the text in each row?

--- Row 1 -----
text line 1   
<space>
text line 2
--- Row 2 -----
text line 1
<space>
text line 2
---------------

OR

--- Row 1 -----
text line 1
<space>
--- Row 2 -----
<space>
text line 2
---------------

Thank you Ben.

I don't know how I can display the type of table in my form;

I just used drag and drop to insert the table from the form's interface

into the layout. So I think my table belongs to the second type, that

has only one text line per table row. And it has only one column.

Best regards,

Holger

Hi Holger,

these are both the same type of tables, it's just that one has multiple lines of text in each row.

Since you are trying to reduce the space between the rows themselves then you may be able to reduce this by reducing the top and bottom margins (Layout tab : Shift+F9) of the table cells.

Let me know if this helps.

Thank you very much, Ben.

I will try this.

Best regards, and have a nice week,

Holger
