Do I need to use javascript to get a text field in a PDF Tue Fill form with / date of the current day?

I have a form for booking appointments, and here the date field to fill automatically with

today's date and print it. I put in the format of the text field 'Date' and when I place the cursor in the

today's date date field, poster. It disappears as soon as I tab to the next field.

This action does need a javascript script to fill and print today's date? If Yes, where can I find that?

Or y at - it another way to fit the text field (not counting as the current date by typing) to get the current date?

Thank you.

See example Acrobat JavaScript by Chris Dahl. The script can be an action script open document level or page to insert the date when the PDF file is open or use as a print action to fill the date just before printing the form. And the formatting of the field is 'None' because JavaScript applies the formatting.

  • How to use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection in a drop-down list?

    Greetings,

    I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I'm trying to find a way to add some functionality to basic Automation to a form of Adobe.  I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" which will contain about 7 possible selections.  When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the field of text (called "Hospital_Address") under the drop-down list fill with the corresponding address to the selection.  I have the "Hospital_Address" text field set up for multiple lines and want the address to have a line break between the address and the city/province/postal code.

    For example, if the user has selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:

    123 main St

    Anytown, CA 12345

    Help or you can provide examples would be greatly appreciated.

    Add the near field date in your report, add a filter and choose between. Place the cursor in the first box and select Add - SQL expression, paste into the first expression that I gave you. Repeat for the 2nd box and voila it will filter you need. If you are unsure, then use the superior / equal to the value for the first term and the lower than the 2nd.

  • Get the data from the current quarter

    Hello

    I was wondering how I would go about getting data from a table that is in the current fiscal quarter?

    It's the simple query to get all the data:

    $q_calls_sql = "SELECT * FROM renewal_contact WHERE userid ='". "." ' $user_id. "'";

    $q_calls_query = $con-> query ($q_calls_sql);

    $q_calls_numrow = $q_calls_query-> num_rows;

    Here's what I currently show the quarterly data, but only shows do not all data:

    $q_calls_sql = "SELECT."

    OF renewal_contact

    WHERE the timestamp > = GETDATE(), DATEADD (qq, 1, getdate ()) & & timestamp < GETDATE(), DATEADD (qq, 2, getdate ()) ';

    $q_calls_query = $con-> query ($q_calls_sql);

    $q_calls_numrow = $q_calls_query-> num_rows;

    All I have to do is show the num_rows of the above query.

    MySQL QUARTER() function deals with calendar quarters rather than the fiscal quarters. In the United States, first by the federal Government's fiscal quarter begins October 1, dealing with MySQL as in the fourth quarter. The first fiscal quarter in California begins on 1 July, that MySQL considers (rightly) as of the third quarter.

    A way to get the quarter is to use a custom like this function:

    function getFiscalQuarter() {
      $month = date('n');
      $year = date('Y');
      switch ($month) {
          case 1:
          case 2:
          case 3:
              return ["$year-01-01", "$year-03-31"];
          case 4:
          case 5:
          case 6:
              return ["$year-04-01", "$year-06-30"];
          case 7:

          case 9:
              return ["$year-07-01", "$year-09-30"];
          default:
              return ["$year-10-01", "$year-12-31"];
      }
    }

    For this statement, it does not work.

    of course not...

    first: sysdate returns a date so no need of conversion here

    and

    second SYSDATE includes time, so your application should look like this:

    Select ta_acct, shift, created_on in track_alerts where to move is: Shift and TRUNC (created_on) = trunc (sysdate)

    or

    Select ta_acct, shift, created_on in track_alerts where to move is: shft and created_on > = trunc (sysdate) and created_on<>

  • Cannot get 'IN' text field with multiple values.

    I have a text field (P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS) someone would use to enter multiple values (i.e. of the serial numbers). I tested various methods but can't seem to get anything working. I used values such as ' 12929', '19191' or ('11919', ' 19192 ', ' 1111') or 12121,121333.»

    I have to analyze this area after the entrance is and update P11_SERIAL_NUMBER to something like ("121212 ', 121211', '292929'). The report is a SQL query returning the body of a PL/SQL function. I build the query in an anonymous block to something like the following:

    SELECT apex_item.checkbox (1, instance_number) Ins,.
    apex_item. Text(2,i.instance_number) instance_number.
    apex_item. Text(3,i.item_number) item_number.
    description of the apex_item. Text(4,i.Description),
    Serial_number apex_item. Text(5,i.serial_number),
    i.party_name,
    i.status_name
    Cycsi_item_details_v I have
    WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number FROM cycsi_installed_base_v WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number v)
    AND i.item_number AS NVL ('%' |') XLA' | ' %','%')
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number FROM cy_fco_d, d WHERE d.fco_id = 2803 AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number) AND i.serial_number IN ('61763 ', ' 61621');

    However, when I enter several values that nothing ever went back to the SUMMIT even though the SQL query returns more rows. I run the application in debug mode and it seems to show the values correctly.

    0.11: show report
    0.12: determine the column headings
    0.12: analyze the query such as: TRAFFIC
    0.15: binding: ": P11_MODEL_NUMBER"= "P11_MODEL_NUMBER" value = "XLA"»
    0.16: binding: ": P5_FCO_ID"= "P5_FCO_ID" value = "2803"»
    0.17: binding: ": P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS"= "P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS" value = '(' 61621', ' 61763')""
    0.19: print the column headings
    0.19: loop lines: 15 rows
    No data found

    If I add only a serial number at a time as the APEX application returns the line correctly.


    Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong or what best way to solve this problem?

    Published by: Jennifer on July 13, 2010 15:23

    Hi John,.

    I just tried a report region based on PL/SQL query encoded using your method to refer to element names in the query string of back:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in :P2_ENAMES';
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    As I suspected, he did not work for me P2_ENAMES was ('KING') or ('KING', 'SMITH'). I think it's because of the reason for which I gave in my previous post - ApEx passes off the coast of the dynamic execution of SQL string, it does not automatically replace the mention: P2_ENAMES with the value of the element. I don't know how it can work for you.

    If I change the code I proposed:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in ' || :P2_ENAMES;
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    It works very well if one or several names are specified.

    I took a blow to modify your code for the construction of the query string - does not immediately guarantee, it'll work because I can't test (might be missing a parenthesis or quotation) it but you should get the idea:

    -- start with initial valid query that ApEx can parse to determine column names
    q := 'SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1, instance_number) ins, apex_item.text(2, i.instance_number) instance_number,
                 apex_item.text(3, i.item_number) item_number, apex_item.text(4, i.description) description,
                 apex_item.text(5, i.serial_number) serial_number, i.party_name, i.status_name
            FROM cycsi_item_details_v i
           WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number
                                     FROM cycsi_installed_base_v v
                                    WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    
    -- add model number condition if specified
    if :P11_MODEL_NUMBER is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.item_number LIKE ''%' || :P11_MODEL_NUMBER || '''%''';
    end if;
    
    -- add serial numbers condition if specified
    if :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.serial_number IN (' || :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS || ')';
    end if;
    
    -- add FCO id condition if specified
    if :P5_FCO_ID is not null then
       q := q || ' AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number
                                     FROM cy_fco_d d
                                    WHERE d.fco_id = ' || :P5_FCO_ID || '
                                      AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    

    I know that has focused on getting this code works, but I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't at least mention the risk of SQL injection. You may already know this, but unless you do a good job to validate the values of the element used in the query, you could open yourself up to a SQL injection attack. For example, imagine what that would be returned if a hacker sharp entered "12345) GOLD (1 = 1" in the field of P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS - you would get all that may or may not be a security problem.

    Hope this helps,
    John

  • Can not get a text field to atuo fill based on a drop-down list selection

    I have a drop down box with 3 values that can be selected:

    Dropdown2 is 101-3 subd. A

    101-3 subd. B

    101-3 subd. C

    I'm trying to get a field of text automatically fill based on selection:

    If Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd. A Text4 then = 'a. '.

    If Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd. B then Text4 = 'b. '.

    If Dropdown2 = 101-3 subd. C then Text4 = 'ValueC.

    I tried to create a custom for Text4 calculation script:

    var v = getfiled("Dropdown2").value;

    If (v = "subd 101-3. A") event.value ="A."

    ElseIf (v = "subd 101-3. B") event.value ="B."

    ElseIf (v = "subd 101-3. C') event.value = "ValueC."

    else event.value = "";

    I walked into this script and syntax seems to be OK. (At least for Acrobat XI.  I'm not know programmer and have just enough knowledge to be dangerous).  When I select a value in Dropdown2 nothing happens.  No value appears in Text4.  I checked the "selected value immediately commit" in the Dropdown2 option by google'ing.  I don't understand why the values do not appear.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    You made a mistake... The comparison operator is "is" (or ' = '), not of '=', which is used to assign a value.

    So replace all these:

    If (v = "subd 101-3. A")

    To do this:

    If (v is "subd 101-3. A")
