How to make text field editable in Master Page

[Former Member]

I've a requirement that the User should be able to edit the Text field in the Master Page.

I set the Object-> Value-> Type = "User Entered - Required"

But still I'm not able to edit that field in the generated PDF.

I'm using LifeCycle Designer 7.0.

Thanks Gopal. But I do not see "ISR Text Field" in the Standard/Barcodes/Custom Library. All I see is "Text" and "Text Field".

I've Lifecycle Designer 7.0 (and NOT 7.1). May be ISR Text Field is available only with 7.1

Any ideas how to make this work.

Thanks,

Thanks Antony,

I was able to install ISR Library.

Now I use "ISR Text" in the Master Page, but still it is not editable in the generated PDF. (I'm using Web Dynpro).

When I right click on the text in the PDF, it displays me options to "Copy yo Clipboard", "Copy with formating", replace text (comment), highlight text (comment).....etc.

I am getting these options with regular Text field also in Master Page.

Any idea what is going on?

Many Thanks,

then try scripting for the field like

$.access = " " in the from ready event, formcalc.

see if it is working fine. Refer the adobe designer help and there is a recent blog on Adobe form scripting.
