Import formatted text into Adobe Forms

[Former Member]

Hello together,

I want to import formatted text in my Adobe form.

I declare the text fields as "Rich Text" fields and the data format as "XHTML".

Now, whatever I tried to format my texts outside the form and display it correct within my form, I failed.

Example:

I want to see: This is my name

I tried several things like "This is <b>my</b> name", ... but I was not able to bring the text fat to my form.

Thanks for help,

Alex!

I think this is not possible

I've never tried this myself and I'm not sure it is supported, but what is showing up on the form? Are the tags themselves being displayed? The context has values have to be converted to XML so it might be getting escaped. Perhaps you need to escape the field value yourself. Or have you tried passing the value as a binary string?
