Fill in the fields from a php script

Hello

I am filling the fields of text from a PHP script directly in Acrobat Reader.

Lets not talk about database right now, I just want to know how to take a variable in PHP, right in the form of livecycle designer.

I've seen a lot of things like submitform() using http post, etc., but I can't make it work.

Thank you in advance.

If you want to fill in the LiveCycle Designer form, then you will need to go with the data file.

The data file can be an XML file or a database or WebService.

You can't fill out the PDF from a PHP script directly. Is what you can do, a LiveCycle process created in Workbench and then call the PHP application process information. The Livecycle process will merge the data with the model and the PDF back to the client application.

There is another feature in Acrobat PRO you can import an XML file directly to PDF, but it's a manual work. You cannot link to a PHP Script.

Thank you

  • Fill out the PDF from Sql Server DB

    It is my understanding that the central forms and Life Cycle have been written off.

    I have a PDF form that is a label template I want to fill in the fields with the data that I get a SQL database server...

    I understand that this can be done using Java Script. By trade, I am an ASP.net developer.  I found so many things that apply

    Google and adobe that I find myself very confused on what to use to do this. I see of FDF, XFDF, PDF/A, PDF / X, PDF/E and a host of other acronyms and environments.

    My Question is what is the most recent application that I can use.  , I subscribe to ADOBE Acrobat DC.  Is DC environmental last use?

    Thank you

    "LiveCycle" refers to a whole family of products, Adobe - most of them based on the server. I guess you're talking about LiveCycle Designer, used to be bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro, but since Acrobat XI is only available as a stand-alone product. It's always supported a product, and if you want to connect your form to a database, it's your only option. Only XFA forms can 'talk' to a SQL DB directly. Please keep in mind that you must use Adobe Acrobat to edit your form, or the PDF form must be registered with rights form, which can only be done with the help of another Member of the family of LiveCycle.

    If you want to use AcroForms (those you create with Adobe Acrobat DC), they cannot communicate directly with a database, and you need a 'glue' between the DB and Acrobat (or drive) to fill out the form with data from DB. This is possible for example on a server with a software that can merge date in a PDF form, or with a software that can convert the data from the FDF or XFDF data base data, which can then be read by Acrobat or the free player to fill out the form. PDF/A, PDF / X or PDF/E do not play a role here, these are just different (standardized) subsets of the language used for archiving, PDF print production and engineering.

    And Yes, DC Acrobat is the most recent version of the software.

  • Fill in the fields in a menu drop-down

  • Fill in the fields on the customer side dynamically without the reader extensions

    Hello

    Can I make a call to the server of a pdf form using Ajax technology? I want to fill some textfields dynamically on the client side based on a user selection. I have not the license extension drive still make a web service call to the server. Is there another way to achieve the desired requirement?

    Thank you.

    Yes, there is a better way to do it without Reader Extensions.

    AJAX is not an option, because this is not supported by Adobe Reader.

    Here is the solution:

    Write that a REST based web or any Service Server Page that accepts the query string and meets the specified query string.

    Assume that a Page http://myserver.com/EmployeeDetails?EmpId=1234 server returns the details of the employee as comma-separated values.

    This page can be called from PDF using FormCalc

    the syntax is

    ResultField.rawValue = Get ("http://myserver.com/EmployeeDetails?EmpId=1234")

    EmpName.rawValue = ResultField.rawValue.split (",") [1];          Retrieve the name of the emp of result and fill in the field

    Note that if the page or the web service requires authentication, a basic authentication dialog box appears when you call this method.

    In order to better allow anonymous authentication for pages.

    I have implemented this approach in many projects and works very well.

    Hope that helps...

  • How to fill in the field on the page with the value of the primary key of the previous page

    I am trying to create a patient monitoring system for a group of doctors. There is a patient form add based on the Patient table (which has Patient_Id as primary key) which branches off toward an preoperative evaluation form. I would like to fill in the field of Patient_Id of pre-surgical assessment with the Patient_Id generated by the page add Patient during treatment, which comes from the Patient_seq sequence. How can I do this? I tried to use a calculation on the pre-operative evaluation form, but no matter what I put, the field remains empty.

    Hello

    If I understand you correctly, once the patient record is created you branching to the next page (preoperative assessment form). First create a static hidden point in the form of patients *: PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY *.

    Create a process on submit after the calculation and validation patient form to get the inserted patient_id of patient table. Here's the code-

    SELECT patient_id into :PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY from patient_table where rownum=1
    
    order by patient_id desc
    

    I would not use the sequence to get the present value, because if the record inserted was removed from your patient table, the current value of the sequence would be invalid to find this record in the patient table.

    Basically when the inserted record, the process of getting the value and put into the hidden element.

    Pass the value of the item hidden on the next page by defining them in the direction of the page. Under the section of the Action in the branch of the page, set this items field type - *: PX_PATIENT_ID * (page the order of the day for patient_id). Type * & PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY.* in the with the field of these values. Make sure that include you the dot (.) after * & PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY *.

    Try it now. Hope that it would help.

  • A sender is identified in the field "from".

    Thunderbird has recently changed the information contained in the field "From" for one of my senders. Not only is false, that it is information for one of my other shippers, so that e-mail from two of them seem to come from the same source. Where can I restore, or control the parameters of this?

  • What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    What are the security settings to lock a form with fields to fill and still allow someone drive to fill in the fields as as to save the form and print it?

    You want to allow someone to open your document and fill in the form (the fields that you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here is the answer - assuming you use Acrobat Pro and someone will open the PDF with the Acrobat Reader 9 minimum and more:

    Tools > Protection > encrypt< encrypt="" with="">

    Select YES to change security.

    Opens in a new window:

    Do not select NOT open the Document (or will require a password to open the document.)

    SELECT: Permissions (check the box next to ' Restrict editing and printing of the document. ")

    Change the following 2 settings in the drop-down list box:

    Printing allowed: select high resolution

    Changes allowed: select commenting on, fill in the fields on the form and signature of signature fields
    Selected leave: "enable access text for playback devices to screen for people with visual impairments.

    Change password Permissions (insert a password)

    Leave all the other settings alone in 'Options '.

    OK - OK

    Again enter the Permissions password (the one you entered above)

    OK - OK

    Save the PDF file to apply security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the title of the document]

  • Copy the value from 1 to 2 filled in the fields?

    Okay, not sure if it is possible, but here:

    I create a request for rental of a local community centre which has a Hall and an area of land/land to rent. Most people only need 1 or the other, but sometimes they need both at the same time.

    On Page 1, I have 2 lots for rental costs: 'Hall_Rental_Fee' and 'Grounds_Rental_Fee '.

    In Page 3, I have 1 field called "rent".

    Is is possible to take the value of the full field of Page 1 and copy it to 'Rent' to Page 3, and if the two Page 1 fields are filled out, for total 2 fields and put this value in the field to the Page 3?

    Or is it totally impossible and I would just bring an extra field to Page 3 for the 2nd field?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It's actually very simple. You can use set the field to page 3 to be the

    the sum of these two fields. If one of them is empty, its value will be

    considered equal to zero and therefore have no influence on the

    result. And if both are filled, the value will be the sum of them.

  • FDF import fills all the fields

    Hello

    We are trying to fill a PDF file with an FDF file, but does not all data. On the file PDF are validation javascript and dependencies on visibility controls.

    When fill us the document with Acrobat XI and export the data to a FDF and try to import this file the problem already occurs.

    Is this the cause of the problem as I hope, and is there a way to circumvent this problem, without having to remove all the javascript on all fields? Or y at - there a way to remove all scripts easily?

    Who can we help or point us in the right direction?

    You can set actions in the field using a FDF with a way including being JavaScript, but I think that it would be better first run a script like this and save the form modified for use with the importation of data from field. This script deletes all scripts that Validate and calculate all the text fields in the document and defines read-only:

    for (var i = 0; i)< numfields;="" i++)="">

    var f = getField (getNthFieldName (i));

    If (f.type == 'text') {}

    f.setAction ("Post", "");

    f.setAction ("Calculate", "");

    f.ReadOnly = true;

    }

    }

    You can run this code from the console (Ctrl + J) JavaScript, or mouse event of a temporary button, etc. If you have other scripts, attached to events and other types of fields, modify the script to accommodate.

  • PDF form: fill in the field with the value of another field

    Hello

    I have a PDF form that one of our employees has to be completed on a regular basis.

    There is a 'product' - text field, which is present on the form several times, which will contain the same information.

    From now on, my colleague has fill all these these one by one manually. But with the copy - paste, it doesn't take more than a few seconds.

    However, to facilitate work a little, I want to it to be able to simply fill out one of the fields (can be a specific, must not be dynamic) and all the other 'product' - fields automatically takes the value of the field of this first.

    How can I accomplish this?

    I noted the possibility of JavaScript controls.

    I am familiar with basic JavaScript, however never used it for PDF files.

    Any help and pointers would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    This isn't a problem with script. Just give each field of the same name. Once the field names are the same, a change in one will be to another. For some reason that it does not work with standard HTML forms, probably the reason why you ask.

  • Fill in the fields on the page loading

    The loading of the page, I like fill some fields to the result of a function and some fields to a sql query like

    SELECT LOGIN_DATA FROM APEX_TABLE WHERE LOWER(LOGIN_NAME) = LOWER ( NVL(V('APP_USER'), USER) ) ;
    

    I tried with processes and calculations. The calculation was before footer, but the fields are not filled.

    I use Apex 4.1 with the db 11 GR 2.

    Hi Wucis,

    Try a process "After Header".

    Write your "select into", something like:

    Select login_data

    in: P1_LOGIN_DATA

    of apex_table

    where the...

    Of course your page P1_LOGIN_DATA Articles needs to exist.

    I also suggest writing your process (PL/SQL) as a PL/SQL block, then beginning by BEGIN and ending with the END. This gives you the ability to make exceptions...

    It will be executed before the page is rendered, but after on the parameters that you have (possibly) linked through another page (through a URL).

    I hope this helps...

  • How to make the fields from the drop-down list required to make a selection before you save a PDF file

    I have a PDF form where I entered a JAVA script in some areas by using the option ON BLUR under 'Actions' and it works very well to prevent users to go to another site if they leave the field with the empty JAVA Script in place.

    My question is that I have other form fields that have a drop down menu where they can choose several options. I would also like to make these fields to where they can't move forward on the form unless they choose an option in the list. However, because with the option in the list "choose a ' is a default option entered into the field (field is not empty), script JAVA of BLUR ON option I used in my empty fields does not work to block the user to move beyond the matter without selecting an option. They are able to save the form with all the drop down menus staying to 'pick '.

    I made the field "Required fields" then they are highlighted with the red area around, but is there another tool to force them to choose an option for each in the drop down menus before you save the form, instead of being able to save with leaving the 'choose One' in the field by default?

    The best way to do this without knowing the default value of the field is to compare the value of the field to the default value of the field... You must make sure that your default value is not part of the possible acceptable answer. It works with most of the field types that a user can fill.

    If (event.value! = event.defaultValue) {}

    do something;

    App.Alert ("required field not completed. \nField name: "+ event.target.name, 1, 0);

    }
