@Anthony – for "white space": yes, every character or special character is included in the count. Not only "white space", but returns, soft returns, brakes, special table, special note or footnote characters etc.pp. Example: You have a document with 20 empty tables.
Character Count: [number of characters in Personalization field] Total Cost: [$0.50*character count] I can get the total cost (a simplified field notation) but is there a way to automatically generate the character count?
There's no characters or words count in Acrobat. It's possible to do it with a script, but as mentioned, you might want to do it in Word, for consistency with others. Votes
Here's a little more information about my situation that may be relevant. I did not create this document, as it's an employment application I downloaded to my computer and would like to add additional lines of text before submitting it. That said, is there a way to change the character count of a text form field of a document I did not create?
A character count limit is easily applied. There's a built-in property that does that for you under the field's Properties, Options tab. A word count limit is more complicated and will require a custom-made keystroke script.
There's no functionality in the Acrobat.com online services to do a character count. But, you could use ExportPDF to convert your PDF file to Word format, and then do your character count in Word. Please let us know if you need additional assistance. Best, Sara
Wish there's way to do a Character count on Captions with caption workflow. I'm limiting to a 42 characters per line, and currently using Excel for this task. Character Count Indicator, and Caption Duration (subtitle reading speed - characters per second) are my wish list for the next Caption workflow update!
Bumping Calluna Sans from 9.9 pt to 10 helps, but gets too heavy in weight. We end up being constraint-trapped. But coaxing mostly more word space out of the settings towards the target of an 84 character count average by some means seems the way. It may help to share H&J settings on our layout here. Thanks for responding.
In InDesign you can use the Info panel and click to get a word count of the entire story or select to get a word count of the selection. I would see this working about the same way if it were implemented in Illustrator.
Character count is not a useful way to fit text in a frame. You can change the type size in small steps until the text fits the frame. Or better yet, check Marc Autret's site, he had a function (which I think he also showed in this forum), which uses a more sophisticated method to fit text to a frame.
