form dependencies of the field - how?

I'm spoiled by the property of 'TAG' forms of MS Access. I use this property for keywords of things that allow me to "connect" form fields.

In other words, a check box form field, if not checked, would cause a dozen of related areas be read-only.

I'm looking right through all form fields to find where a keyword has been placed.

What is the best way to do this with Acrobat forms given the fact there is no TAG property?

Create a list in fields in Javascript? The problem with that is: what happens if I change the name of the field?

One way to do this is to name your fields in a certain way.

For example, you might have a bunch of names of fields, named as follows:

SectionA.Street

SectionA.City

SectionA.Country

SectionA.Name

SectionA.Age

Using "SectionA" in field names, you can change the properties of each of them at the same time.

For example, this script will make all 5 fields read-only if the checkbox for option 1/box is checked:

If (event.target.value! = "Option1") {//If Option1 box unchecked, unlock the Section A
this.getField("SectionA").readonly = false
}

else this.getField("SectionA").readonly = true / / otherwise, lock Section A

  • 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.

  • PDF form: blocking of the fields before you send it by e-mail

    Hello!

    I have to scratch my head with this problem for a while: I have this form must be sent by email with some locked fields (read-only).

    What I do is affecting this BEFORE as I have the e-mail form:

    fieldName.access = "readOnly";

    app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs");

    However, the form always happens at destination with the field unlocked and ready for editing.

    Am I missing something?

    Thank you for all the ideas!

    Marcos


    Hi Marcos,

    Just check first that the changes script preserve is set to automatic.

    Then, make sure that the script has completely executed before e-mail script. It might help to put the script to access the mouseUp event that fires before the click event (containing the saveAs script).

    I then test this separate for the mail script and see it works on the local PC.

    Hope that helps,

  • Forms and update the fields

    I have a PDF document that has a bunch of formulas to calculate the mileage, etc.. I entered the formulas in the "total" fields, but once I fill in the other fields, the 'total' number will not refresh. Y at - it a tip secret to automatically update the number or is it possible that my formula is simply wrong? It is in simplified notation of field as "End MileageRow1 - start MileageRow1."  (Ending MileageRow1 is the name of a field and start MileageRow1 is the name of another.) Any help with this would be awesome!

    The field calculation order is not correct. To define it, go to the forms editing mode (forms > add or edit fields), and then select "forms > change > set field calculation order of fields. Set the order of everything that makes sense for your form.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given what you describe, I would recommend a reloading very clean BONES and also through the unofficial autoloader methods:

    Hopefully that will clear up the problems you encounter (in condition, of course, that this behavior started directly after you have completed the update you mentioned and haven't started some time before that).

    Good luck and let us know!

  • The dynamic button and the field 'how to' guidelines

    How can I define several parts of my work as dynamic - make a buttons that change size (such as population) according to the entered text; the columns that also change the size and moving the other columns, keeping constant, previously defined spaces between them? Where to start? Choose which application?

    At this point, I decided my work in Illustrator and exported in the form of an images and html for editing in Dreamweaver or elsewhere.

    P.S. I have designed my whole life, but I only met the behind the scenes of the substructure of web design - it is not my first and last question around this issue. Suggestions, tips, or huge conferences of briefing as well as simple, but useful guidance - in what direction I should start watching - will be really appreciated.

    I strongly suggest you move on the Dreamweaver forum (using this software) - and abandon all hope to found your web page entirely on slices of another application. I also recommend to learn the basics of HTML before you try to go further. Web design is a very different beast to print design.

  • Prevent the digital signature if the fields are white

    I am just checking that some fields are filled before the user can digitally sign the form. If the fields are empty, I would like to prevent the display of the digital signature window.  How do I do that?

    Here is my script:

    var vSignature
    if(xfa.form.form1.execValidate() == true){
     vSignature = this.rawValue;
    }
    else{
    xfa.host.messageBox("At Least One Required Field Was Left Blank");
    }
    

    Add controls null (or no matter what field validation that you plan to be completed) in the event the digital signature field preSign, if the validation fails then cancel the action after providing a message

    You can attach your form?
