Bypass Validation required field required in dynamic form PDF

I faced a difficult situation, where some fields are required, but we need allow the rule of validation (required) required bypass when you save the form and require to fill in these fields when you submit the form. In other words, to allow a flexible control when to enable / disable this feature.

I wanted to put in place a flexible solution, and I will post my findings here. Appreciate your comments to improve.

Steps to follow:

1. mark the fields returned as required.

2 specify 'Empty Message' as "this field can not be empty", or similar.

3. specify the "Message of Script Validation" as 'this field must have a correct value before submitting', or similar.

4. create a Global Variable-level form something like 'StopTotalValidation' and '1' as the default means default, turn off Validation for some cases.

5. for areas that require this type of control, add the script (to be defined later) on the event to "validate":

myTools.validateForRequiredField (the);

6. create a Script object "myTools" and add the following script:

function initStringFunc() { }

Call this function to initialize Document

String.prototype.Trim = function() {}

return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");

}

String.prototype.LTrim = function() {}

Return this.replace (/ ^-s+ /,' ");

}

String.prototype.RTrim = function() {}

Return this.replace (/------s+$/,' ");

}

String.prototype.isEmpty = function() {}

return (this == null) || "This.Trim ( == );"

}

}

function setNodeProperty (, of theNode Dubien newValue) { }

if (theNode [property] ! = newValue) {

theNode [property] = newValue;

}

}

function isNodePropertyEmpty (theNode, property) { }

    var result;

    if (theNode == null || theNode [theProperty] == null) {

        result = true;

    } else {

result = theNode [theProperty] .isEmpty ();

    }

returns the result;

}

function disableTotalValidation() { }

StopTotalValidation.value = '1';

}

function enableTotalValidation() { }

StopTotalValidation.value = '0';

}

function isTotalValidationOn() { }

back StopTotalValidation.value ! = '1';

}

function isTotalValidationOff() { }

back StopTotalValidation.value == '1';

}

const conRequired = '(mandatory)';

function validateForRequiredField (theFld) { }

    //

/ / Bypass required field Validation when the overall Validation is OFF.

    //

    var result = false ;

    if (theFld) { }

If (theFld.mandatory & & theFld.mandatory == "error") { }

If (myTools.isNodePropertyEmpty (theFld, "rawValue")) { }

myTools.setNodeProperty (theFld, "rawValue" conRequired);

            }

If (isTotalValidationOn()) { }

If (isNodePropertyEmpty (theFld, "rawValue") | ) theFld.rawValue.toLowerCase) == conRequired.toLowerCase ()) {

                    result = false;

                } else {

                    result = true;

                }

            } else {

                result = true;             

            }

        }

    } else {

        result = false;

    }

returns the result;

}

7. now click on the button 'save' call the function "disableTotalValidation()" and click on the button 'submit' call the function "enableTotalValidation()".

I just finished the implementation of the solution above, and according to my initial tests, it works fine.

I'll post this to my Google Docs workspaceand provide updates their.

T arek.

Hi Niall,

In fact, it is not that some require and some do not need validation...!

The fact is that fields that are 'Required' rule ignored should only and only if the form is "saved" from the Save"" button.

The 'Required' rule should be triggered only and only the user is clicking on the submit"" button.

I think I can make use of your approach. The only problem I see now is how to mark the item of of these fields with the details the user of LiveCycle Desinger interface requires? This means, I have to call a script on the initialize event of these areas, which is more work and more confusing for other developers. As I use a non-standard feature of the interface user Desinger.

In my case, I added a simple invocation of the event 'validate' to a common function for all areas that need to follow this simple rule "bypass validation required...". »

But, I really like your solution. In fact, I understand what you're doing, but now the following questions are triggered:

1. What is the meaning of three time equal (=) in the statement of JavaScript "if"?

2 I need more information on the use of methods 'createNode()' and 'namedItem().

Tarek.

  • Required radio button in red color in a dynamic form

    Hi again

    Okey, as the title says, I have some problems with buttons radio required right now. In static fields, they have a border when they are required.

    In dynamic forms that they have, or get no border.

    I have already tried:

    (1) to make a border with script (unfortunately it takes in the text too is much smaller than the normal required border and includes the text = > really ugly)

    (2) to paint a border with lines (unfortunately the box itself straddles the border only for 0, 02 mm (could not fix) and it is pretty darn ugly )

    (3) cut the text, instead write it in a textfield and lining complete box (best solution right now... well that much work and will not look very well either)

    Given that I needed to change my dynamic forms 25 and all have some of these radio buttons necessary in it, I would be grateful ANY solution that would look a bit more acceptable.

    Someone has any idea how to get such a border (or something similar) for these boxes?

    Thanks already

    (PS: I only use quadratic body check)

    PPS. : Sorry to bother you in the last time that many... I really try )

    Hi Lisa,

    I hope I am understanding what you are aiming to achieve.

    The form will have the fields highlighted. Required fields have a red border.

    With respect to the option buttons, you also need a red border around the circle.

    Attached is a sample, I hope it will be helpful.

    On the left are radio buttons that have the script to the initialization, check event if radio buttons are "necessary". If they are then the appearance is replaced by a red border. If radio buttons are not necessary, the appearance remains as "lowered 3d."

    If (scripted_RadioButtonList.validate.nullTest is "error")
    {
    xfa.resolveNode("Yes.ui.checkButton.border.edge").stroke = "solid";
    xfa.resolveNode("Yes.ui.checkButton.border.edge").color.value = "255,0,0";
    }
    on the other
    {
    xfa.resolveNode("Yes.ui.checkButton.border.edge").stroke = "down";
    }

    On the right side of the form of option buttons that are defined as are required when you create the form. At this stage of the design, you can also set the appearance.

    If the script does what you want, you could develop a loop that looked at all form the radio buttons and the border red if the radio button value is "necessary".

    Good luck

  • Company Logo Image dynamic form fields

    Hello world

    I designed a dynamic form of livecycle with fields for users. In this form, I want to insert an image field in the upper left corner of the page so that users can simply add their logo to business here. I have some doubts and need some clarification on a few issues I don't know how to:

    (1) I realize that I have to use the 'Field of the Image' object so that users to import the image of the logo of their computer. It's pretty simple. However, is it possible for me to add a default image in this area which says something like "Add your logo here" and I want this default image to not display on the screen only and not in print if the user has not inserted his own logo? Is there a way to do this?

    I had a quick glance and I couldn't find anything that can answer that for me. I was thinking about it and what I've done so far is, I added another 'Image' object in the same place and I added the photo "Add your logo here" in this area. I then put his presence '(screen only) Visible' and place this object located behind the object from 'field of the Image. Bascially as long as it does not, if the user adds a logo using the field of the image, this image overlaps the 'image' object that lies behind all this. What is the right way to do it? Or y at - it another simpler way to do this?

    If what I did above is the only option, then I see that there are some limitations to it. Let me explain... Lets say that the image in the 'Image' object are the size of 2 inches wide X 1 in height. Yes, if the user places an image of the logo using the "field of view" object above that, and if the size of the logo of the user is smaller than the image on the ground at the back (let's say the user logo is only 1 in. X 1 in. height width), then when the logo image overlaps the excess width of the image behind appears and it looks bad on screen. Hope this makes sense... Wondering if there is a way around this? I use 'Fit the picture proportionally' instead of 'Scale to fit Rectangle Image' for the image field object.

    (2) another thing is, once the user inserts an image using the "Image object" field, is it possible for the user to delete this image if the user subsequently changed his mind and does not want to add a logo to it? Do I need to add a button so that users to erase the images they have added to the image field object? If so, can someone help me with the jscript for this?

    Thanks to everyone who took their time to read... Looking forward for your answer...

    Hello world

    Just an update regarding my Question 1 above:

    I struck out my old idea of placing an object image behind the object of field of view etc... etc... to show a hidden default image for logo insertion. Instead, what I've done is now, I only use the Image field object and have incorporated the image of 'Insert here the Logo' by default for this field. Beside that, I added the button 'Clear Logo' that basically clears the image in the image field. So here, if users add their logo, they simply click on this object and add their logo that will replace the default image in it. Or, if the user does not want to add any logo, they need to click on the button "Erase Logo" to rid the default image. I think it's probably better than the other method than I thought before. The only thing here is, I have to make sure that users are aware that they need to press the button 'Clear the Logo' if they want to erase the default image, otherwise it will eventually print as well.

    If anyone has any suggestions or do the same thing differently, please inform me.

    Thank you...

  • I have created a form in Indesign. Is there a way to create the default text in a text field that displays the interactive pdf "insert text here" in the text field?

    I have created a form for the company, so that I work. It is a form that will be used in several offices and has buttons, drop downs and text fields. One of the text fields has a requirement that when the PDF file is opened, the text field has something written in there already, as an example (and one only) INSERT the TEXT HERE. I created the text field in Indesign and used the text tool to type in the area of the body-copy required. After that I have to export it as an interactive PDF, text in the text field disappeared.

  • Creating dynamic form

    Hi guys,.

    I was wondering how I could create a dynamic form in pl/sql (region).

    For example: I have a table with the different departments, and each Department, I would like to see a dynamically generated form in the area.

    How can I do?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you
    Cleo

    You can build tabular forms manually using htp.p and combining with the APEX_ITEM API to generate fields of form within the dynamic region PLSQL

    If you are not comfortable with the updated reports, the HTML code of the item when you use the APEX_ITEM API, how to treat them in PLSQL, identify lines etc.
    Once you find the HTML for a single editable report, you got to generate the same HTML code using htp.p and using dynamic data in your table, displayed as normal text or fields can be changed using the APEX_ITEM API.

    The HTML code would be something like

    <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="report-standard" summary="">
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <th HEADING...
    ..more TH
    
    </tr>
    <tr class="highlight-row"><td class="data" >input feilds or normal text</td>
    ..more TD
    </tr>
    ..more TR
    </tbody>
    </table>
    

    If you build the same using a dynamic region PLSQL (pseudocode)

    LOOP over departments
      --print region HTML code
    ***For each department
    ***print tabular form table,heading etc
    ***htp.p('<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" class="report-standard" summary="">
    <tbody><tr>'); ***htp.p('<th>heading1 </th>') ***Loop over rows *******each row *******htp.p('<tr>'); *******htp.p('<td>'||'normal text column'||'/<td>) *******htp.p('<td>'); *******htp.p(APEX_ITEM.TEXT(1,value..) *******htp.p('/<td>) *******..more TD's *******close TR ***END row loop ***END this department (close tbody,table tags) End department(close region tags div for region title etc

    Make sure that you add the classnames to each HTML element - table, tr, td, th, etc so that you get the desired style

    For the treatment of the data, you must loop through the global tables used (as with an editable form of paintings) and use your own logic to update service.

    There are a lot of small details that you have to look in, but you can make them gradually.
    Good luck.

  • Dynamic form data deduplication

    I'm working on my first dynamic form, and I'm having a problem where my dynamic subforms share the same data, so a subform of edition updates all other subforms of the same type. The shape is a tshirt order form, so, for example, there will be a line of a specific brand of shirt, plus sizes. When a row is added, it will reproduce all the info from the first line, and any changes made to the second line will be immediately mirrored to the first line. I have fields bound to an XML schema that I wrote, so I do not know if that may be the cause of the problem.

    Hello

    You did not include the XML schema. However the problem is that in the repeating line items are related to the scheme, if this is missing, or if the schema contains only one node, then I'm sure that all repeating instances of the line shows the same data.

    The question is where the data come from? It comes from a database or the user enters it. If the user enters it then I would not link these fields to a schema. The binding name value / Normal.

  • Cannot simultaneously use vector art and dynamic forms?

    I was responsible for creating an online order form, and it seems that beign able to use vector graphics is the key to the design of the form. Dynamic form elements are also absolutely necessary - all the information has to fit on one page (and fortunately, most are mutually exclusive, allowing only the fields necessary to appear).

    Unfortunately, when I do a page of the form layout in Illustrator and import it into LiveCycle, I seem to be unable to use the drawing tools (specifically, lines and text, that both I need). I tried to save the file in a dynamic form, but only the opportunity to save it as a static form is displayed.

    Y at - it something I am doing wrong, or I'm going to have to choose between the use of vector graphics and dynamic form options?

    Fix. You can import the static PDF file work and then add the form objects.

  • Adding 30 days to a date in a dynamic form of LC

    Hello-
    I'm working on a dymnamica form that is merged with XML data. In the XML file, I get a FirstQuoteDate and bind it to the corresponding field in the form. I need to calculate the ValidDate by adding 30 days to the FirstQuoteDate then display this date in the valid Date field.
    I tried several scripts with no luck. Here is the last script I've tried. I also tried the script to several different events. I think it's the event calculate for ValidDate field at the moment. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    var QuoteDt = Date2Num (PROPOSAL. Page2Summary.FirstQuoteDate.RawValue, "MM/DD/YY")
    var FutureDt = QuoteDt + 30
    var ValidDt = Num2Date (FutureDt, "MM/DD/YY")

    PROPOSAL. Page2Summary.ValidDate.RawValue = ValidDt

    Here is the updated form to date.

    https://Acrobat.com/#d=rbDELbBJM-v3O2J1pNddoA

    Because I don't have the XML file that is used to fill the PDF, I don't know how the date format could be...

    Then in the form, I tried using the format "YYYYMMDD" ("20101020")... This means that my entry for the date in the XML value will come in this format.

    Then your code you should also change the format for the rawValue accordingly.

    ValidDate.rawValue = Num2Date (Date2Num ($.rawValue "YYYYMMDD") + 30, "MM/DD/YYYY");

    The other thing you did was put the JavaScript language... But the above function will work with FormCalc.

    For your tests, I did the areas visible instead of hidden... After checking, you can define hidden.

    Let me know if you have nay problems...

    Thank you

    What I'm doing here is pretty basic. I'm running a query with a number of configs in it... and then by creating a loop for their output.  Ultimately, I want only the configurations that did not present 0 in the form on the previous page.  Each of the configs in query configuration has a variable of dynamic form on the previous page with a quantity associated with it.  I am trying to remove all the current amounts that are not 0 (or not to eliminate just not see the)... as you can see on the cfif statement.

    This is where it gets weird.  You will notice that I left #form ['baseconfig #reviewconfigloader.basemodelID #'] #, just for the test, which shows me the amount as it should.  I ran a test and put in a couple of 1 s 0 s, 12 s 6 s, etc. in the form fields on the previous page.  If it worked, it would not show anything for the documents with their value by 0 basemodelID.  Not the case.  It shows all the records.  What's funny is that it displays perfectly in my test #form ['baseconfig #reviewconfigloader.basemodelID #'] #, showing good numbers in the previous form, 1, 0, etc., related to each record.  But for some reason, the cfif code isn't catching.

    What's even weirder... I replaced the cfif ("form.baseconfig #reviewconfigloader.basemodelID # ') NEQ 0 with GT 12 (12 has been the largest number I put in shape) and he always showed all the records.  Then I put in as LT 12 and it revealed nothing.  I decided to go one step further and put in to GT 1231243242343 (massive random number), which he always showed all the records.  So, somehow, CFIF statement think that ("form.baseconfig #reviewconfigloader.basemodelID # ') is an incredibly large number, although when I exit in the line below, it is the number, it should be.

    I'm puzzled.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    My application has two LOV, one to select a schema and the other to select a table in this schema. Then I have a button that goes to a report that displays data in this table.schema.

    Now, I want to create a link to a form where I can edit the record based on the identifier of this table.schema, but it does not appear that I can create a dynamic form where I pass the schema.table_name and the rowid.

  • Dynamic form does not

    My friend gave me a pill to start digital painting. I think it's an old Wacom Intuos Pen. I tried to Photoshop digital painting and changing the layout of the user interface. I also did a few brushes, but dynamic form never ends up working. There's always the same size on the whole race, regardless of how hard I press. It's weird because the dynamics of the opacity works very well. I use windows 10 and Photoshop CC.Shape Dynamics.jpg

    Someone else who had the same problem fixed it by resetting Photoshop but I don't want to do.  Also, I don't have to update my drivers because I can not find the drivers for this tablet anywhere. Also, I do not use any third party software. In addition, another question. Is it possible to do a color scheme? It becomes tedious to constantly switch between colors.

    Please do the following for me test.  Select Adobe round 36 px preset shape and make sure that shape and transfer icons are in force on the tool options bar.  In the Wacom PEN preferences panel define the cutting-edge feel to a very closed setting if CC check map pen uses ink microsoft. .  In the palette of brush as you see him make sure you see the Trapper of the shape and the opacity to offshore in the race of the preview. Test the brush with your wacom pen.
