[Need to decrease space between bullet and text]

Stupid question - what's the best way to do that?

[Need to decrease space between bullet and text]

I'm using the script below for a document and as it is, there's too much space between the text and bullets. Is there any way to decrease that space?

 

var bulletString = "";

 

for (item=1;item<=4;item++) //there are 4 bullets here. If you need to add more, change the 4

{

var itemName="bullet" + item;

if (Field(itemName) != "") //if the bulletfield is not empty

{

bulletString += "<p>•<t>"+Field(itemName); //add a bullet, a tab and then the bulletfield

}

}

 

return bulletString;

[Text Box question]

I have several text boxes that will become list dropdown boxes in Marcom. When I upload the template, the text boxes do not appear in the preview although I have set them up as list dropdowns in Marcom. Do I need to add a rule or text to those boxes in order to make them appear in Preview?

[Image frames are uploaded as Text Frames]

Figured out the answer for anyone who needs to know. Went into FP in Acrobat and clicked on "Data Definition". Then clicked on "Input Options" and "Fields". Was able to change the frames I needed to from Text to Graphic, and everything loaded just fine after that.

[Text to column in a frame]

I need to separate a list of 8 bullets into 2 column of 4 - how would I manage the JS for that?

 

<DataField

Name = "firstname"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet1"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet2"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet3"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet4"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet5"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet6"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet7"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "bullet8"

Type = "Text" />

<DataField

Name = "lastname"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "title"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Name = "email"

Type = "Text"

/>

<DataField

Type = "Graphic"

[Image frames are uploaded as Text Frames]

I see where you're going with this. I had to switch from Mac to PC for FP because of never ending font issues, and now I'm wondering if the switch did something to those boxes. When I go to Object>Content>Graphic, all choices are grayed out and I can't select any of them. FP DOES recognize the Graphic frame as Graphic frames in the Export wizard though...

[Image frames are uploaded as Text Frames]

I have the most recent versions of everything - Adobe Creative Cloud CC, Acrobat DC and just re-installed the Windows version of FP.

[Image frames are uploaded as Text Frames]

When I go to export my InDesign doc to an FP PDF, I make sure I select the "Export as variable image" box. The PDF pops up, the Image frames are there, but when the PDF is uploaded into FP, the Image frames have become Text frames. is there anything I'm doing wrong?
