• Can I copy the contents of a form field to another field with toggle checkbox?

  Would it not possible to copy the contents of a form field to another field in the form once a checkbox is disabled?

  I have several form fields that require form-fill to enter their initials.  Rather than repeat this 20 - 30 times on a form, they would like to be able to write their initials somewhere and that their initials copy in another form with a checkbox Toggle field.

  So, I have a field called 'initial' and each of the original boxes are "init_entry1" "init_entry2" etc.

  The boxes for these areas are "check_entry1" "check_entry2" etc.

  This would be possible with scripts?  Or are there better ways to accomplish the initial AutoComplete with a checkbox toggle?

  You can use a code like this in the MouseUp event of your box:

  If (getField("Check_Box1").value! = "Off")

  getField("Text2").value = getField("Text1").value;

  else getField("Text2").value = "";

  Of course, you have to adapt the names of the fields.

• Can I automate renaming of a pdf file with the contents of a form field?

  I'm developing a form. A field is a customer reference number. The customer would like to if the filled pdf they receive from the customer would have that number as the document title or the title of the document for easy sorting and research. Is it possible to do?

  Of course, you can do it on the receiving end.

  You have Acrobat Pro? If so, the easiest way is to do it using an Action, and it also lets you process several files in a single operation.

• Of the reasons why the contents of a form to fill out on-line can be displayed or printed?

  I created a form of 2 pages on Adobe Acrobat XPro. I sent it to specific people, and they filled, saved and sent it back. I am able to view what they typed in my monitor only, when I click on the field, but it will not print the content. Of the reasons why the contents of a form to fill out on-line can be displayed or printed?

  What you describe is typical of a PDF form that has been used and corrupted by the application on a Mac. An outdated version of Acrobat or Reader will not cause this. A less likely possibility is also corrupt forms PDF, Microsoft Reader, but in different ways than the preview.

• Try to retrieve the contents of a text field and use it in a conditional statement

  Hello world

  I have a form with a text field and a button. The text field is called "orderNo" and the button is called "genOrder".

  Initially, the text field is empty, and clicking on the button fills the text with an appropriate order number field.

  I have need to check the text field for the data (content) before you write the order number, in this way, if an order number is already present in the text field, it will be over written.

  My intention is to use an if / else structure to perform the tests, but I do not know how to retrieve the content of the text field (if the content is present!).

  If anyone can suggest how I can go about extracting the contents of a text field and then use it in an if / else statement it will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  DAVO

  currentOrderNo = this.getField("orderNo").value;

  If ("currentOrderNo == null | currentOrderNo ==" ") {}

  the field is empty, fill it with a new value

  } else {}

  the field is not empty, something else

  }

• Treatment options for form (use the value of a form field to select a shared list or a web redirect page)

  Hello

  I tried something with the processing of the forms which doesn't seem to work. I wonder if the function really works or if I'm doing something wrong.

  Here is an example of what I do: I have a form that I want to use. I add "Web Page redirection" processing step to my form. When I click on the processing step to set up, under "General settings" there is an option that says "Choose how the launch of destination page is selected." In this drop-down menu, there are three options: always redirect to the same landing page, use a drop-down list to select the landing page and the value of a form field allows you to select the destination page. I have a hidden field on the form that contains the URL of the web page to which I would like to redirect. When I select 'Use the value of a form field to select the landing page', I select the hidden field to the field that contains the URL of the web page to which I want to redirect. It's my setup. However, when I submit the form, nothing happens, I do not redirect to the URL contained in the hidden field... This function still works? I'm doing something wrong? I can't seem to get the function "Use a drop-down list to select the destination page" to work either. The same thing happens when I try to use the "Add Contact to shared the list" processing step. I add the name of the list that is shared in the field hidden, but the contact does not appear in the shared list... These functions still work? If yes how do I configure them?

  Thank you!

  Well, I understood the problem of the shared list... You must add the ID of the list shared in the hidden field. I had to use Firebug to see the real ID of the shared list. Once you have the ID, use you it as a static value in the field. If the HTML code of the form will look something like this:

  If you do not use the lookup data ID. You use the ID real asset on the shared list. You must use something like Firebug to find.

  I'm glad everything is working.

• Export from InDesign to PDF and the PDF file last updated is greater than one month and not easily print on letter paper is PDF presets?

  Hello

  I export from InDesign to PDF page is larger in the PDF file, and others I exported. This is because of the present PDF? One of the project managers is not able to print on 8.5 "x 11", but the InDesign document presets are the same as before. I wish I could download PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is greater than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF file and the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the export presets even. Any thoughts?

  I suspect the project manager has his copy of Reader/Acrobat simply set to print full size, rather than "Worthy" (assuming that the size of InDesign pages is truly 8.5 x 11).

  .. the newly updated PDF file is almost un.5 inch wider with the same export presets.

  This has nothing to do with export presets. How did determine you this difference of half inch?

• How to drive the content of a text field or table from a drop-down list selection cell?

  Users will choose an option in a menu drop-down. I want their selection to control the contents of the cells in a table or text elsewhere on the form fields.

  For example, 'The coldest season of the year' by selecting 'winter' in the menu drop-down displays in a table cell.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Nick

  Hi Nick,

  Here are some examples:

  https://Acrobat.com/#d=pxtis4z3OxCqWxajZwDS2Q

  https://Acrobat.com/#d=20lQl9JfL19aBtbPC1WYbw

  https://Acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A

  If you open these in LC Designer, you can view the script by selecting the menu drop down and looking at the script at the top of the window Editor. If the script editor is a single line, you can drag the lower edge to make it bigger.

  Good luck

• Aligned to the right content in a form field box?

  Hello

  I have a form that I'm working on http://www.bankruptcyaction.com/usapplication.PDF

  I use Acrobat X

  On the third page of my form, there are boxes in the form that users can fill in the amounts of their expenditures. I would like to have numbers to aligned right on the right side of the box. Can someone tell me how to set the field box to right justify when a user enters a number?

  Also, I want the numbers to add automatiquement.00 to the end of the number, even if it is an integer, for example, now if I get $2,000 in one of the fields, it was released in 2000, but I would only it automatically like 2000.00. Can someone tell me how to / code this?

  My form http://BankruptcyCanada.com/BankruptcyForm.PDF works perfectly as I want as described above, but I forgot how I did it and I did it with an another Acrobat.

  Any help would be appreciated, while I try and understand this

  Thank you very much!

  Go to the forms editing mode (Tools > forms > Edit) and double-click on a field and the Properties dialog box opens.

• Clear the contents of a form after the presentation

  Hello, all. I apologize for this question as "stupid", but I have been away from coding for a while and just can't find a sample of my earlier work on how to solve this problem.
  
  I just build a form that works well, but I want to erase the content when a visitor submits so the next visitor will see a nice empty shape. I put a 'Clear form' button with the button 'Submit' on the page, but I'm worried about the privacy of the visitor and want their information deleted when they hit 'Submit' and send me their information in an e-mail message.
  
  I remember a piece of code you put in another < body > or < do > tag vaguely and I've tried several things, I found in the old files, but nothing works.
  
  Thanks in advance to put me on the right track.

  I know what you mean.
  What some presses the back button, their browser displays the form page with
  the details that they always informed here.

  This is a form that a user will submit several times?
  As a form of data entry for a single user to use again and again?

  so simple fix, put a "reset" button at the top of the form for them to use
  to manually delete data.

  other corrections would be with JavaScript to clear all form fields onload
  perhaps.
  http://www.Google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=JavaScript+clear+all+form
  + fields

  or that the form of the page a cfm page and the browser is probably not hiding the
  form field content.

• How to capture the value of text form field?

  Version 4.1.0
  
  Hello
  
  I have two tables, a database table where the data is stored, and a correspondence table that has all the account information.
  I have a simple form (not in a table) on the base table. It has 4 fields,
  
  1. an account id,
  2 there are country
  3 there are region
  4 account manager.
  
  All this is stored in a lookup table
  
  When the user has entered the account number and create hits, the account id should be picked up and looked up against the table and the data that result must be returned to the form. When the user then presses the button send, the data must be committed in the table on which the form is created.
  
  To do this I tried to enter the account number, the user enters into the form, I tried to capture using
  
  apex_application.g_f01 (1)
  
  But does not work. Any help with the way in which we can enter this value, validate it against the table, and then bring in the lookup table details in the form and then when the user submits, she should get engaged in the base table?
  
  Thank you

  In addition, another question. In this case for the empno data has been extracted from the same table where the insert will be made. What happens if I need to get data from another table. So let's say that the Empno and details are also stored in the table "EMP_MASTER". in this form, can reference another table and complete the empno and empname?

  Also, the recording doesn't seem to work in this case!

  Thank you!

  If you want to fill in all items, then it is easier to send the page...

  You mean, you want to have your page depends on more than one table? Then the source you would be static not database column... you must use collections, please install the packaged Collection sample application to learn more...

• using the value of a form field in another form field

  I hope that I can describe my problem. Please bear with me

  I have a worksheet with a lot of form fields. For most of the text boxes and a few drop-down list boxes.

  I use a lot of custom calculation scripts to determine what information auto fills in most of the fields.

  But I have problems with a last form named ORTHOPLANID field.

  The value that it auto fills depends on two other fields. A field is called MEDOOP. The other field is SUPPDENPLANID. I tried to use an if/then/else statement for ORTHOPLANID but it does not work. I'm guessing it doesn't b/c, the value of the MEDOOP field is generated from an if / then statement so I don't know whether or not the script recognizes its value as a real value.

  Is there another way to get around this? I don't know if I have clearly explained the problem, but I hope someone can help

  Thank you

  Brandy
  

  I think I know what the problem... You did not drop-down fields

  commit their selected values immediately (under Properties - Options). As one

  result, the calculations take place when you exit the field (i.e. click)

  outside), and not when you do a

  selection.

• Put the contents of a form in a sub-provincial session

  I would like input on a form to persist between pages so that the content is passed when the page redirects using a cflocation tag. Do I have to put each of the form fields separately in their own session variable? I think there must be an easier way. Maybe I can put in place a structure which is a session variable and place the entire form in one step? Advice would be a great help. Thank you!
  
  

  A way to approach (and do not mean that it is the best or the only way to do it) is to create a structure to your scope of session (as you suggest) to start:

  Then on the page on which your valid form, you can copy or loop on the structure of the created SHAPE when CFML publishes a form and store the entire structure or select the elements of the structure now stored in the scope of your session.

  Just 1, copy the structure of the FORM in the structure of the session level:
  

  The potential downside of this is that the structure of the FORM contains a few fields, you can not treat. For example, CF sends a key in the structure called domain names (a list of all fields in the form). Also, if you named your (i.e., submit button), it will also be visible in the structure of the form and may not be wanted or needed in your application.

  2 loop on the FORM and add elements of the extended structure of session desired shape:
  
  
  
  
  

  I hope this helps!

• How to export the graph xy with indicator field.

  Hello

  I want to export my chart to the .emf format. For this I used call node > image export. If I use this, I can only export the chart not another indicator filed(numeric_and_string_indicatror).how can export chart with flag field?

  This is .vi I used.

  Thanks for your post in our Discussion Forum,

  is it necessary to export the image to the .emf Format?

  If not, I can give you two options:

  The best way to make a screenshot of a certain area of the façade is of

  create a Subvi with all the items you want to take a screenshot of and

  Then take a screenshot of the entire façade of the Subvi.

  It works fine even if the front is not visible, while the photo is taken.

  The screenshot can be taken with a method node as in the example attached to this post.

  Another possibility is to reframe a screenshot of an entire façade to the region you are interested in.

  How this works is described here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/take-screenshot-of-part-of-front-panel/td-p/1613750

  The downside is that you must manually set the region that could change because of the scrolling or changes on the Panel.

• Acrobat XI - preventing the creation of automatic form field

  How can I stop Acrobat XI automatically creating form fields interactive when I convert a document existing (pdf) form.  I know that I can delete them manually, but I convert custom documents several times a day and I want to eliminate extra steps to remove fields that I don't need.

  You should be able to open the PDF file, select ' tools > forms > edit ' and when you are prompted to have Acrobat automatically detects form fields, answer No you will then be in the form of editing mode where you can add them manually.
