Dynamic/fluid form fields

I'm working on a master called Performance assessment. It consist of 6 different tables. The original form was designed in Word 2003 and convert them to PDF using LiveCycle Designer ARE. My question is, my form fields continue to "fall off the page" when text fields are made with the data. I am also having a hard time to combine the tables that have been 'placed' on page 2 during the conversation from .doc to PDF. I can't do all the work of table together much less flow together to form the dynamic and interactive, I'd love to have. I want everyone to be able to write as they want in the comments section and keep everything together and create no white pages...

I have attached the form so everyone can take a look. ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. . I can do the fluid text field and pass them to a second page for forms / simple applications. This is when I add the table that the hierarchy becomes a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jenn

This form would be much easier if you did not have the table structures. I suggest that you rebuild without tables. For those sections that you want to allow to develop dynamically ensures that they are in a subform was flowing and make sure that you click the expand to fit in it Y direction under the Layout tab.

  • Disable using V 3.2 tabular form fields dynamically

    All,
    I'm trying to dynamically disable a field on a tabform. I read on that success, but unable to make it work. Senana posted a javascript that was to be placed in the foot in the region, but does not not for me. Thought I'd start simple just to see if the readonly would work, but no luck. Here's my simple script I thought would disable each field in the column that had a value in it. Any ideas? Thank you, Sandie

    I gave each form field name such as: < input type = "text" name = "' ScheduleDate_ # I #" value ="" > this way, each of these fields will be named differently: ""

  • Problem with fluid form is not "fluid".

    I have problems to do a fluid form in Designer ES...

    Using Windows 7, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and life cycle of Designer ES 8.2

    I'm a noobie to the use of life cycle of Designer ES and usually only use Acrobat Pro Extended to create PDF files in other formats.

    I am trying to help a group not-for-profit with a scholarship application form. They gave me a form that was created in Word. I converted it to a form of Acrobat in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended without problem (as I know in any case). However, the problem with the Acrobat form was the answer for the questions boxes would create a scroll bar when the answers are longer that the size of the box and the text beyond the viewable area is not displayed when you print. I read the other threads in this forum and looking for tutorials to make the fluid shape using the life cycle Designer ES by checking allow several lines, expand to fit under Y:/height and economy in a dynamic form of XML.  What makes the text box expand as needed, but the text and then overlay the text below in the form. I need the entire form to expand as needed based on the length of the answers to the questions. I know that others have had this problem, but I can't seem to implement correctly based on what I read when others have reported this problem. BTW - the form contains a header with the page number on the second page that should be repeated if the shape extends to three pages, etc. and a signature block which must remain at the bottom of the form when you are finished. I was not able to make the fluid form to test or work with these other potential issues.

    I am frustrated with this problem and would appreciate your help. I downloaded a copy of the form sanitized to see if someone can take a look and see what I'm doing wrong or missing.

    Hi Eric,.

    Here's your form to you, I did a job on page 2 for you out of the box. https://acrobat.com/#d=0Dm * XIrtAFi4Y49nwWXBWQ.

    What I would say is that you have a bit of work to do. I changed the content on the Master Page (purple dashed area) area. This should be within the area of the page, giving you a margin. This is especially important when working with past presentations.

    You will need to place all the objects that are static within a positioned subform, then objects that grow in height within a Flowed subform. So also, the page must be set flowed.

    There are some forms here you should have a good overview:

    Explorer positioned and flowed subforms: http://assure.ly/eSGQMt.

    Extend page layouts objects flowed: http://assure.ly/e2jR0C.

    Making the dynamic fields: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.

  • How to display dynamically in the field of the Image with a source external pic

    Hi guys,.

    I have the following scenario:

    I need to have a form that you display x amount of images on the same area of the page.  I have found no documentation regarding the creation of an unknown number of items in the Image field, so I'm experimenting with using a Table to show the entries of the Image field type.

    I don't know when the design what images will display in this table.  This must be calculated dynamically when a case number is provided to the WebDynpro Java application that uses Adobe LiveCycle Designer (don't you worry about this).

    Now, first of all: it is possible to use the URL of the images that are outside the structure of the form?  In other words, usually one could embed the image in the structure of forms, but because I do not know the URL of the image at the time of the design I have to switch dynamically?  Please comment!

    In addition, what is the FormCalc syntax to access a field in the 'Data View' view on the left side of the designer?  For example, if I want to access the next part of the 'Data View' opinion, what syntax should I be entered into the script editor:

    untitled.bmp

    I want to access this value because I want to add at the end of this statement so that I can get the value dynamically:

    This.Value. #image.href

    =  ???????

    You cannot change the url to the image on the fly for security reasons.

    In your case, you will need to use the dynamic image of the xdp form fields, encode with base64 encoding external images to match a string, complete with xml strings and make your model with this XML.

    Here: http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/inserting-image-in-a-xdp/#comments you have a good example of Girish Bedekar for such a process.

  • Deactivation of the borders on the form fields for printing

    Is it possible to disable the borders (or choose the color of 'None') on form fields when you print a form?  I had rather the only the data, but not the border areas, print.

    I had a quick glance to the XML source and I suspect it's possible, but I am a newbie of LC.

    Hello

    No problem! I'm just going through a number of things (you might already have these sorted, so please forgive me, but just in case where).

    You don't need to go near the Source XML, which is often (if at all). Sometimes, it is convenient if you want to change multiple occurrences of a string (with find and replace).

    First set up your work space, something like below.

    You need to open the panels (layout, object, border, police, paragraph hierarchy, Script Editor, etc.).

    I've implemented a "Recipientname" field and insert the script of pre-press. Note the drop-down menu events you can choose from. Also note that you can choose between two languages Javascript and Formcalc.

    It's the Script Editor, it is a very important interface, where you can insert the script to your form objects. You can access from the menu of the window (or by clicking Ctrl + Shift + F5). When you opened it, drag the lower bar to make a decent size to view and edit the script.

    The same approach is used to put the 'visible' script in the postPrint event.

    All this is done from the main creation of LC mode, without touching the XML source itself. What you're trying to achieve here requires access to the deep level of the object properties. For the 'normal' for an object script, you shouldn't have the fully resolved name. For example:

    recipientName.rawValue = "Niall";

    I recommend that you consider carefully where you place the script (in which event), the help file, forums and talk about books on this topic in detail.

    One last point, when you expand your form (such as one that has a dynamic content), then you must save your file to PDF dynamic. You can set in the properties of the form / default settings (on the file menu) dialog. Otherwise the dynamic content won't work.

    For what is is worth, I'll upload the PDF file with the only object inside. It may take a little time to pass through. If you use this technique, remember that the properties of the user interface of the various objects are accessible using different layouts. See the help file:

    Hope this helps,

    Niall

  • ActionScript &amp; amp; change form field values

    I am building a form using flash forms. I have a particular field by default the value is 0.00. I want to make an onchange actionscript that will dynamically change the value of form field to 0.00 if the user deletes the value out of the field and leave empty.

    Please be nice... I know that my actionscript'ing is poor (and probably looks a little bit more JS what did) LOL

    < cfsavecontent variable = "zero_myfield >"
    If (myfield.text == ") {}
    MyForm.MyField.Text == "0.00";
    }
    < / cfsavecontent >

    < cfinput type = "text" name = "MyField" onchange = "zero_myfield" >

    I know that you can manipulate the value of a field to form easily with javascript, but how to do the same thing with actionscript? Pointers would be appreciated!

    Thank you!!

  • stop filling of form field on android

    I am running Firefox 35.0 on a Tablet Asus Transformer TF701T. When I have online forms to fill out, Firefox starts a list of options to choose from to fill the field. An example of this is a name - Firefox displayed a list of names to choose from. I don't need ALL the names it lists. How can I remove the ones I don't want? I discovered how to make Firefox for the desktop, but not android. Please help because this is getting frustrating.

  • How to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing existing signature field

    How do to allow the addition of attachments and more filled in form fields and signing of signature field when creating a secure pdf document?

    You must allow commenting as well. Reader users will be able to add attachments as comments. You can also use JavaScript with Player 11 and DC to automate the process somewhat.

    If you need users of Reader in order to add attachments as Acrobat can, you need to add the right of use of file attachments, but you can't do that with Acrobat.

I tried to change the field and delete the text and Fain same original font type and size is still there

    Hello.

    I guess that these areas use the option 'allow formatting of the rich text.

    Thus, it is not Properties: aspect which resulted in implementing in the form of text, thetext in the form field"' bar (CTRL-E or CMD-E).

    Uncheck the option 'Allow rich text formatting' to return to this behavior.

    Is this possible? I created a form field that allows scrolling of text. Is it possible for a person to move their mouse over the field on this form, and something like a pop box would be showing all the exactly? In this way, they would not have to scroll the field to read what they typed.

    Try adding the custom according to the text field validation script:

    This sets the ToolTip text of the value of the field.

  • Re: Filled form fields not printing - using Acrobat Pro on Windows 10

    I have the same problem, except that there is no system of Mac involved. I've created a registration form to fill live events to a charitable organization for which I work and distributed. I had checked that filled in forms may be saved with their data, but I don't actually print a. Today, I downloaded the form inside and tried to print it. Fixed content of the form prints normally, but the content of the form fields is not printed. I have the print options configured to print 'Document and annotations', as suggested elsewhere. A test, I used Photoshop to open the file. It can be printed (default settings) with the fields filled in displayed as it should show. On my own system I open and print the latest version of Acrobat Professional. I also tried to print from another system, using Acrobat Reader DC - this has also led the white printing. Both systems are running Windows Update 10 anniversary. The original form (empty) can be downloaded from http://ncinvestiture.holysepulchre.net/images/regformnew.pdf. I can send you my completed form if you want to give me the necessary details.

  • Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

    I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

    I entered the code of the tab actions from the drop-down list properties below > mouse down > run a java script. The problem is that it works only if I come out and enter again the drop-down list. "I tried to invoke the code with"Mouse down","Mouse entry", out of the mouse ' none of them worked unless I go out and again the drop-down list.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    var devused is this.getField ("device");.

    var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

    var proname = this.getField ("product name");

    var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

    If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

    devused. Required = true;

    proname. Required = true;

    smells. Required = true;

    }

    else {}

    devused. Required = false;

    proname. Required = false;

    smells. Required = false;

    }

    What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

    For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

    If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
    {
    var devused = this.getField ("device");
    var proname = this.getField ("product name");
    Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
    Switch (Event.changeEx)
    {
    case "related product": complaint
    devused. Required = true;
    proname. Required = true;
    smells. Required = true;
    break; Go at the end of the switch;
    Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
    by default:
    If no match for the above cases, it is found;
    devused. Required = false;
    proname. Required = false;
    smells. Required = false;
    break;
    } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
    } / / end not true willCommit;

    You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.
