Alert app

Hi all: in Adobe Acrobat, I could create a button with an alert app that will give users some sort of information or instruction.  Is this possible in Adobe LiveCycle Designer?  How could you create a button with a warning about to learn how to use a specific item on the form?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0

Its pretty much the same thing. Create a button and on the click event, make sure that the programming language is set to javascript. Enter the line of code:

App.Alert ("this is my message!")

  • JavaScript app.alert option button

    I have a pdf form that has required text fields, and radio buttons. Once the user has filled out the form, I created a button that will check to see if all required fields have been filled, if yes then send an email and then close the form without saving changes. If not, an alert app appears and allows you to complete the missing information. The app.alert works with text fields, but not radio buttons. If the option button is the only thing not filled, I get the default error and then he jumps the electronic part and closes without saving the pdf file. I have a set of radio buttons (Qty 3) called 'group '. Here's the JavaScript code. Can someone please.

    var requiredFields = new Array();

    for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i ++)

    {

    fName = this.getNthFieldName (i) var;

    var f = this.getField (fName);

    If (f.type! = "button" & & .required this.getField (fName) & & (this.getField (fName) .value == null | this.getField (fName) .value == ")")

    {

    requiredFields [requiredFields.length] = fName ;}}

    var error = "Please fill in the following fields: \n\n";

    for (j = 0; j < requiredFields.length; j ++)

    {

    If (requiredFields [j] .value is nothing)

    {

    Error = error + requiredFields [j] + "\n";

    F2 var = this.getField (requiredFields [j]);

    F2. SetFocus();

    }

    }

    If (requiredFields.length > 0) {}

    App.Alert (Error);

    } else {}

    this.submitForm ({}

    cURL: "mailto: " [email protected] ", "

    cSubmitAs: "PDF."

    })

    this.closeDoc (true);

    }

    The default value of a group of radio buttons when no key is selected is 'Off', not null.

  • App.alert help form

    So I have this custom formatting script:

    Custom format for text field script

    If (! event.value) {}

    Event.target.userName = Event.Value;

    Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

    event.target.textColor = color.red;

    } else {}

    Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

    event.target.textColor = color.black;

    Event.Value = util.printx ("99-9999999", event.value);

    If (event.value.length! = 10) {}

    Event.Value = "";

    App.Alert ("Tax ID # doesn't have the required number of 9!", 0, 0)

    }

    }

    So, if you don't the good input format and press tab, then the app alert little pops up and after clicking OK it moves you to the next field (since you press tab).

    My question is how to do it if the app.alert is run and then to make the previous request of the tab null and you keep in the field that caused the alert app to pop up?

    I hope that makes sense if not let me know and I'll try to clarify.

    You can use something like:

    event.target.setFocus ();

    Thank you

    Respect of

    Hi John,.

    You can use the method toString() on it to write a string and save it in a file.

    var newTextFile = File("/appSerialNumber.txt");
    newTextFile.open("w");
    newTextFile.write(app.serialNumber.toString());
    newTextFile.close();
    
    //Opens the file with the associated text editing application:
    newTextFile.execute();

  • app.activeDocument.activeDataset.name

    Hello

    I have set up an action that I use for my batch process. I have to iterate over the [i] data sets that have unique names. I am trying to determine the name of the current index [i] data sets. I am able to read the name like this:

    Alert(App.activeDocument.dataSets[0].) (Name) / / It only reads the name of the dataset to [0] for each iteration. myset_0, myset_0, myset_0, myset_0, myset_0, myset_0, myset_0...

    The problem is that what I call for the batch using the dataset object. I can't delete the dataset from scratch, because she's going to change the length and spoil the batch.

    I want to do it like this:

    Alert (app.activeDocument.activeDataset.name); myset_0, myset_1, myset_2, myset_3, myset_4, et_5, myset_6 mys...

  • [JS CS3, win] Saving InDesign using app.activeDocument.save

    Hello.

    I have problems saving a document in InDesign using Javascript.

    My goal is to have a box in the document where I type the name of the file and the path where I want to save the InDesign file (eventually it will be generated from a datamerge).

    Then, I want to run a script that will read the contents of the box and then save the document to the file name or location.

    At the moment I have:

    SaveText.jsx
    A JavaScript InDesign CS3
    //
    Saves the document in the provided path

    get the content of the FileNameBox box on the document
    var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
    Save now
    app.activeDocument.save ("/" + varFileName + ".indd");

    Alert (app.activeDocument.filePath);

    When I run the script (with 'Hello' in the FileNameBox) file changes its name on the top bar of InDesign to "Hello.indd", but (when I run the commented warning at the end) the file is not actually save anywhere.

    If I close InDesign, then open it the file is listed under 'Open recent' on the menu, but clicking on it does nothing - even when the file does not exist.

    Does anyone have ideas to help me to tear my hair out?

    Where is my save file? (Or, if not, how can I do save!).

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    var varFileName = app.activeDocument.textFrames.item("FileNameBox").contents;
    app.activeDocument.save (myFolder.fsName + "\" + varFileName + ".indd");

  • Paragraph in the box style containing (text)

    Easy I know but I can't do , need help please.

    If my choice is the text:

    Alert(App.Selection[0].appliedParagraphStyle.Name)

    Returns the paragraph used Style.

    If my choice is the text box that contains the text, how to alert the paragraph used inside the text box Style?

    Thank you, Bren

    Hi Bren,

    Ask yourself, if you've selected a bunch of paragraphs where the different paragraph styles are applied:

    What do you expect that your alert will return?
    And what is actually returned?

    Then do your tests with a block of selected text:

    alert(app.selection[0].texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name);
    alert(app.selection[0].parentStory.texts[0].appliedParagraphStyle.name);
    

    And finally to loop through all the paragraphs of the text frame and its history.

    Note: $. writeln() will write results in the JavaScript Console to ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK)

    var textFrame = app.selection[0];
    var textOfTextFrame = textFrame.texts[0];
    var textOfStoryOfTextFrame = textFrame.parentStory.texts[0];
    
    if(textOfTextFrame.paragraphs.length > 0)
    {
         var paragraphs = textOfTextFrame.paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
         for(var n=0;n
    

    Kind regards

    Hi, is it ok for you?

    It seems "app.activeScript" or "$.filename ' is what you wanted.

    #target indesign

    Thank you in advance,

    You cannot profile name because he's not here:

    Another approach is temporarily open in Photoshop (via BridgeTalk) and read the profile like this:

    #target indesign
    #targetengine "session"
    
    if (!BridgeTalk.isRunning("photoshop")) {
        alert("Photoshop is not running.");
    }
    else {
        var link = app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink;
        CreateBridgeTalkMessage(link.filePath);
    }
    
    function CreateBridgeTalkMessage(filePath) {
        var bt = new BridgeTalk();
        bt.target = "photoshop";
        var script = GetProfile.toString() + "\r";
        script += "GetProfile(\""  + filePath + "\");";
        bt.body = script;
        // $.writeln(script);
        bt.onResult = function(resObj) {
            var result = resObj.body;
            DisplayProfile(result);
        }
        bt.send(100);
    }
    
    function GetProfile(filePath) {
        try {
            app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;
            var psDoc = app.open(new File(filePath));
            var prof = app.activeDocument.colorProfileName;
            psDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
            app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
            return prof;
        }
        catch(err) {
            psDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
            app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.ALL;
        }
    }
    
    function DisplayProfile(result) {
        alert( "Color profile is \"" + ((result == "undefined") ? "Not embedded" : result) + "\"");
    }
    

    But it is said that it is not recessed.

    Therefore, it is not available directly in Photoshop. However this was probably written for an earlier version and something has changed since.

    There is another property in Photoshop- colorProfileType - which may be one of the following:

    When I run this script in PS with your file open, I get No:

    main();
    
    function main() {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var colorProfileType = doc.colorProfileType;
    }

  • Each stories export to RTF

    I need to export each stories to a separate RTF file.

    myDoc var = app.activeDocument;

    var newDoc = app.documents.add ();

    for (no_stor = 0; no_stor < myDoc.stories.length; ++ no_stor)

    {

    App.Paste ();

    nFile var = new File(nfolder1+"/"+fName.substring(0,fName.length-4)+"rtf");

    App.Selection [0] .exportFile (ExportFormat.RTF, nFile);

    newDoc.close ();

    }

    The code above is not written for me.  It shows cannot copy / cut due to invalid selection state.

    App.Select (myDoc.stories [no_stor][0].texts)

    Should fix. But your solution as a whole is very very bad!

    (1) why you use app.select, app.copy and app.paste when you use story.duplicate?

    (2) why create you a new document and copy all the stories in this document, instead of just exporting the original document?

    How about something like:

    var stories is app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem () .getElements ();.

    for (var i = 0; i)

    nFile var = new File(nfolder1+"/"+fName.substring(0,fName.length-4)+"rtf");

    stories [i] .exportFile (ExportFormat.RTF, nFile);
