Automatically numbering fields

I have created a PDF form in Adobe Acrobat 9 which has lines of fields that each represents a row in a database. The user will fill out one line for each individual sample.  To make the shape, I create the first row, and then use the function "place multiple fields" to repeat this step for the number of lines that I need.  In this way the fields have a predictable naming scheme and data can be easily extracted during the data entry is complete. I know that PDF forms do not really work on the concept of lines. The data will be extracted in the lines according to the domain naming convention. The first field in each line represents a line number. What I'm trying to do is to use Javascript to automatically fill in the fields of line number.  How I envisage this work, is that the user will type a number in a field somewhere on the form to indicate the first line number they want. Once they move away from this area, I want line number fields to be filled with line numbers starting with the number of the user typed in and by incrementing a for each line.  I've tried a few things, but the most recent is:

As an action on the blur in the properties of the field "start line number:

lnenbr = 0;

lnenbr = getField("First_Line_Number").value;

As a calculation script customized for each of these fields on the "numbers" line (named LineNum_1.0 with everything after the "." incrementing a for each line):

var f = this.getField (event.target.name) //creates a variable for the form line number field

f.Value = lnenbr //sets the form field to match the meter

lnenbr ++ //increments the counter of

It works, but not correctly.  If I type a number in the number of line 'start' the click of the mouse out of this area, nothing changes in the fields of line number.  If I then type a new value in the field "Number of the Begin line", then mouse click outside this field, line number fields are numbered in the order but beginning with the previous value I typed in "beginning of line number.  Also the first field of line number does not change.  Any ideas on how I could get the behavior I want, either by a change in my method or something completely different?  I'm a newbie to Javascript.

I answered my own question. I'll put the answer here, in case someone has a similar problem.  As an action on the blur in the 'start line number' box, I put this Javascript:

this.calculateNow ();

So that line number fields will recalculate after I get the begin line number.  In the calculate for the "begin" line number property, I put:

lnenbr = 0;

lnenbr = this.getField("First_Line_Number").value;

The value of the variable count of line to 0 and enter the number of the starting line in a variable.  In the first text "line number" box, I put this script to calculate:

Event.Value = lnenbr / / sets the value of the number box of this line to the lnenbr variable.

lnenbr ++ //increments the counter of

Then I did the process of "putting several copies" on the line numbers text box. It worked, but except when I entered the starting number line the first line number has changed to what should have been the last line number.  This turns out be a function of the order to calculate fields.  I changed only under "calculation of the fields or change forms/change field order" when in form editing mode.  It works now as I had expected.

  • Automatic numbering in title meta

    Is it possible in LR3 for automatically or via a code change the title (not the name of the file) to the numbering?

    For example: I got 100 portrait photos and I want the title Portrait 1, Portrait 2, Portrait 3 and so on. So for example, I could write in the field title 'Portrait #sequence' and then it automatically numbers each number marked with 1,2,3 and so on. Or any other solution, but I can imagine it would work something like this.

    Anyone got a solution for this?

  • Can I do an automatic numbering of paragraphs?

    I find that I can use the automatic numbering if I have elements that do not go on a single line and double line spacing. But if something runs several lines spaced single, I want a space before the order of the day, then that must be a new paragraph, is that correct? In this case, automatic numbering does not work and I have to go at the end, after moving items and fix all issues. So, can automatically numbered paragraphs? Thank you janeos

    Hello Jay,

    Automatic paragraph/list numbering increments and applies the following number when you type a return (paragraph break).

    Two returns by typing in a line is interpreted as a signal to stop the numbering of paragraphs and list.

    ""If something runs several simple lines spaced, so I want a space before the order of the day, then that must be a new paragraph, is that correct?".

    M S

    You can insert an empty line without creating a new paragraph by typing a line break. Press SHIFT + return. Then press return to enter a paragraph break to create (and number) a new paragraph.

    You can also use the text Inspector (Format button, and then text) to set the Pages to add a space before or after (or before and after) each paragraph so numbered or not.

  • How can I make automatic numbering of tables Pages to print?

    Hello people,

    I recently change my old macbook to a macbook pro, so now instead of office for mac, I use Pages 5.6.1. and my problem is I can't find no option in the parameters of format that allows me to perform automatic numbering that appears for permanent tables. I'm about to finish my master's thesis, and the reader is oriented to the data displayed in my title tables and the table number line, however, when I print the tables that the numbering never appears. I would have thought about this before, but now it seems a little paradoxical for me to manually have the number of hundreds of lines.

    So: Is it possible to do automatic numbering that appears in the form of guidelines on the tables of the Pages have become permanent, so it gets printed?

    Thank you for your time and your ideas! They will be very much appreciated.

    Strange question for a master's student.

    Just insert a column/row of the table and put your numbers in that.

  • Automatic numbering of desire to end of sentence (my CS5 has no option WRC)

    QUESTION:
    Text which CITES chemical equations, by convention, up numbers of the equation at the end of sentences (i.e., adjacent to the right margin). I would like to not only the number of equation next to the right margin, but to do so with automatic numbering.

    BACKGROUND:

    System: InDesign CS5 on El Capitan Mac (OS X 10.11.5)

    Workaround: I read a 'trick' to accomplish the task is to [about described here] select WRC, ready composer in world, in the paragraph Panel, define the equation (paragraph) of a foreign language that reads R - to-L, restart ID, change the language in English and choose paragraph equation to run R - to-L and use auto-numbering.
    Obstacle: I don't have a WRC option in the paragraph Panel options.  Worse yet, I'm lost as to exactly what's WRC, or how to get it in place.

    QUESTIONS RELATING TO THE:

    First there a way to accomplish the task (the last part of a sentence or paragraph Autonumbering) without having to 'install' WRC?

    If no, how I would make adjustments so my paragraph Panel produced a WRC option.

  • Automatic numbering on a primary key (not in order)

    Hello

    I was wondering how an AutoNumber primary keys without using the sequence when 'on' insert.

    Right now I use trigger:

    REFERENCING NEW AS NEW FOR EACH ROW 
    
    declare

    the trigger above works when I'm inserting line-by-line. But now, I tried to insert 300 rows at a time. Here the insertion fails... I think he should there be commit after each insertion (what I think).

    Can someone explain to me how can this "automatic" numbering can be made when inserting large number or rows of one table to another at the same time?

    Hello

    I know how to do this with sequence I ask just how it can be done without the help of a.

    You would not do otherwise than to use a sequence, otherwise you will have problems in a multiuser environment.

    The closest thing would use an update statement in your trigger code...

    UPDATE test
    SET id = NVL(id,0)+1
    RETURNING id INTO :new.id;
    

    Although this is not ideal and you must use sequences.

    And you most certainly not use autonomous transactions within a trigger. It is simply not true, especially when you are trying to manipulate the data on the table of the triggers.

  • End of paragraph automatic numbering and text wrapping

    Hello

    I use FrameMaker 7.1 and have a paragraph style defined for the bibliography entries. This paragraph style puts an AutoNumber at the end of a paragraph that contains a title of publication. Automatic numbering seems to cause problems of layout with a few more titles long where FrameMaker can keep the title on one line, by compressing the text. If I click the paragraph catalog style several times, FrameMaker alternation to compress the text to fit on a single line, or it displays with standard spread/stretch and allowing the text to run on a new line. This happens even if I try to set the paragraph style so that auto-spacing is not allowed.

    Can anyone help to define a format in which the provision remains stable?

    Thank you

    Hi, Rob:

    Thanks for doing the tests and determine that FrameMaker creates a different code for what is supposed to be the same construction. I'm not good with MIF; my suggestion is to do exactly what you did, namely, to compare the code for different views. Others may have sufficient expertise to offer a solution here, but my feeling is that the behavior is different because it's a bug.

  • Maintaining the automatic numbering in the text variables?

    I have typeset manuals that often have several levels of headings in a single chapter. The editor I work has a style where the first 3 levels, or of the positions will be numbered, 8, 8.1, 8.1.1. No problem. Set up the paragraph styles with auto numbering, each title to another level added for automatic numbering, and it works like a charm. The only problem is that common titles are also supposed to include these numbers with the topics. The left page, the title of the chapter, is so good because I can just insert the chapter number before the current title paragraph style text variable: 8. "chapter title." But the right page must indicate the chapter number, first number of lower level and title (8.1 "topic"). When I use a text for this variable, the numbering created by the original paragraph style disappears from the topic. If I give the leader running his own style of paragraph numbered on the master page, it will always tell '. " 1,"even when the topic changes because there is nothing for him say to start a new number. For my current project, the first sublevel of the section change every 4 or 5 pages. So I'm hoping someone can help me find a way, I don't have to do it manually. Can inDesign keep autodial? Can anyone recommend a script possible or plug-in? All comments will be welcomed with gratitude!

    Thanks for the question. I saw this problem, but never had the need to work around him... until now!

    Variable text header running InDesign cannot capture the numbering of the paragraph.

    To work around it:

    Implementation:

    To create a character style to be used as a style nested within the lower level paragraph style. For testing and editing, assign a color of character; for use, change the color of the characters None or paper.

    To create a cross-reference format that captures only one paragraph Autonumbering.

    Create a character-style-based running header text variable to capture the reference; insert it into the master page.

    Use:

    * At the end of the lower level heading, insert a special character the end Style nested here.

    Continuation of the nested end marker style, insert a reference to the paragraph, using the single paragraph number format.

    The cross reference will be the color of the characters of the nested character style "fakednumber".

    The variable based on the character style to a running header text will seize the number of referrals.

    * For final hand, change the color of the style of characters fakednumber None or paper.

    Notes:

    Cross reference is placed at the right end of the paragraph of title rather than at the beginning, to avoid moving the header text. If he has withdrawal is sufficient between real auto-nombre of the paragraph and the beginning of the title, it would be possible to insert the cross-reference it.

    * Because the cross-reference occupies space on the line of position even when it is invisible, remember that it does not cause the line to be returned on a new line. You can set the size of character fakednumber style property as a very small, same font size reduce the horizontal scale, in order to minimize the risk of a new packaging line, as well as defining its color to None or paper to make it invisible.

    * When preparing a book for final hand, you can change the character of the fakednumber style definition in the Source of the Style file and synchronize it with all the other files in the book, or you can perform a search and replace across all files in Notepad to replace the instances found visible from fakednumber with the invisible style.

    * To simplify the modification of the definition of fakednumber from the visible to the invisible, consider creating two files of model to this end; one contains the definition of visible, the other contains the definition of the invisible. Load character style definition in the style source, and then synchronize the character on the book styles.

    Mission possible:

    * To simplify this task in the future, nag Adobe do running variable header text capable of capturing the numbering by filing an official request here: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form.

  • custom with the automatic numbering sequence metadata field

    I created a custom metadata field and I need to start a zero and then one with each checkin. There are other qualities for this particular area, I managed to do. Currently, the field is V99_99999 where V is a constant, and immediately after the V 99 is the two-digit year. everything works very well. I'm having is the second half of this. I have it currently goes against the content_id, which is 003856 at the moment, when I check in my first content, Cela will look like V09_003857. what I need to look like is V09_00001 and then increase by one with each checkin and then for the part... When really complicated changes in the year, on January 1, the counter should start over to all zeros again.

    I'm relatively new to the AAU and it seems huge to me. I bought a book called "The Definitive Guide to Stelelnt Content Server Development" in the hope of finding the answer, but am always sick, so I use another line of life and tender hand to you all.

    Thank you
    Patti

    Interesting!

    You will need a component. You already mentioned that you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the table of counters for your component. During a control as you will have to retrieve the following value from the table of counters, increment the counter and store new number back into the table. The part of the id is easy, the year get the current year and enter the last two digits. Then put this togther all to get the data of your metadata field.

    The big question now is where in the process of integration will make you all this? You will need what is called the filters probably. AddFiles maybe, maybe validateStandard, there are several who could work with.

    It is apparently easy to do using macros in Word.  I'm a Mac user, I want to use my Mac software.

    Pages ' 09 v4.3 will allow you to use numbers at several levels or untiered lists.

    1. Untiered
      1. Backspacing of an element of the list will be automatically decrement (renumber) list items his successor.
      2. You will need to return back again to remove the vacancy list
    2. Tiered
      1. Back here is automatically decrement (renumber) successor of the elements of list to the current level, but not the sequence of raised list of effect levels.

    How can I remove these areas?

    Can you bring me another solution?

    Thank you!

    Hello there, alogarol.

    So you're willing to edit/remove content form headers and footers on a Numbers spreadsheet. The following Knowledge Base article offers some great information on this topic:

    Numbers for Mac: using headers and footers for printing

    Numbers for Mac 3.2 and later versions includes options for headers and footers when printing your spreadsheets.

    If you want to include headers and footers when printing your Numbers spreadsheets in numbers 3.2 and later, you can do this by editing them on the printing configuration screen.

    1. Choose print in the file menu.
    2. You should see a preview of the appearance of the sheet when you print it.
    3. To change the headers to the worksheet, click the top of the page and add the information you want there. To change the footer, click on the bottom of a page and add the information there.

    You can use the Zoom menu to make it easier to change the content of the header and footer.

    By default, the page numbers are included in the center of the footer section. If you want to remove the page numbers, you can select one in the preview and delete. Changes that you make to the header or the footer of a page affect all the pages of the journal. However, the header and the foot is separate for each worksheet in your worksheet.

    Changes that you make to your headers and footers are saved as part of the worksheet. If you want to leave the printing without print configuration screen, click done in the AME

  • How to create an automatic text field - has a date of three years from the current date?

    I'm trying to create a PDF form that is automatically entered a three-year expiration date in the future of the current date in a created text field.

    Text field name: ExpDate

    Text field format: mm/dd/yy

    So far, I entered in the following in the Page Properties-> Actions-> Add Action (trigger = Open Page, Action = run a JavaScript script):

    var ExpDate = new Date();

    ExpDate.setYear (ExpDate.getYear () + 3);

    var f = this.getField ("ExpDate");

    f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", ExpDate);

    We will attend the correct expiration date the day where I do the certificate (i.e. There will be 07/06/16, June 7, 2016), but when I open it the next day will be always ready 07/06/16 instead of 06/08/16. I'm sure it is something simple that I need to change. Any ideas?

    If she says ' 07/06/16"on 7 June 2016, which means that it does not work properly, either, as it does not add 3 years to the date of the day... It should show ' 07/06/19.
