Get the text from other text fields

Hello

on the title page of may document I put the date and the version number of my document. I want those to appear again on every page of my document, but not in the same place as and smaller than on the title page. So, I could simply create new areas of text on the masters and put the date and revision number in these boxes. But this means that every time that I update on the title page, I have to update on the master as well.

I want to set the date manually, so I think that I can't use text variables. I tried the cross-references, but this turns the text on the master pages into links on my title page which I don't want.

Is there a way to automatically fill the text boxes on the mask with the version number and date of the title page?

Content with Styles of card collector

Step 1: Open the content Collector > click on the button of the collector (Pick-up) > Click image

Step 2: Click on the place (bashing) button > to create a link > activate card Styles > choose from the 3 buttons if you want to place once or several times, etc.. I've said it once, and then unload.

Step 3: Click on the pencil: change the Style mapping

Hidden step: start by creating your styles. You said you want different sizes; The Style mapping is required.

My kind of style is a paragraph, which should work for you.

Choose new style mapping and map style to another.

Step 4: Your cursor is responsible. You are on the Place (bashing) tool. Click to position it. In this example, the upper date is greater, pasted date is to the smaller format, with a different style.

Step 5: With the text tool, changing the date. Update the link.

  • place text from the text field to the other in a subform of livecycle

    Hi all

    I have a dynamic form created in Adobe Livecycle Designer ES, which contains several subforms positioned inside a fluid page. I want to have two fields of text inside one of the subforms so that the text entered in the first field of text (not expandable) will continue in the text field (which is a repeating field). I know that there is a script inside of Acrobat that will do, but may not know how to write a JavaScript for the form in livecycle designer.

    The two fields serve as stand-alones without problem, but not as described above.

    (Here's the script Acrobat XI, which doesn't work for in livecycle, but give an idea of what I'm trying to do):

    Action: Triggered on mouse towards the top/run menu

    / * belongs to: AcroForm:textfield1:Keystroke * /.

    If (event.fieldFull | event.willCommit)

    this.getField("textfield2").setFocus ();

    < / ACRO_script >

    < / AcroForm >

    Is there a corresponding JavaScript for livecycle? Thanks for your suggestions!

    Hello

    You can use the full event here for the length text box that is set. So to write the following code in the complete event of a text field whose length is fixed.

    xfa.host.setFocus (the text field whose length is not fixed)

    The problem is, it does not take the value that the user selects in the drop-down list and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is '2013' as these two values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents: "2013". I compared the coding with a few other scripts work as well, but it does not work. I added several alert boxes to check the value we get.

    In addition, search for it and change also does not work. Please help me on this. Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Bachi. D

    Change the order of dialogresults:

    ...

    var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add ({editContents: "2013", minWidth:100});})
    var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});)
    Ditto var = myDialog.show ();
        If (myYear.editContents == "") //entry is «»
        {
        Alert ("Please enter a text in the content field.");
        ChangeRevDetails();
        }
        else //user entered if(myResult == true) datas
        {
    var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
    var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
    var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
    "var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth + ', '+ RevYear;

  • How to get the text in a dynamic text field?

    Hello

    I would like to get the text in a text field I have on stage and put it into a string. I do this because I don't don't want to use the table to store each letter I click. Is this possible?

    Concerning

    you don't know.  You can use the text property of your textfield object and store that value in a variable.

    You can use a click on a button to trigger this code or change event of the textfield or any number of other triggers.

  • Drop-down lists of the fill of the text fields on a different page from the drop-down list.

    Hi all

    I have a form with multiple pages. The first page contains a number of drop-down lists. These lists, drop-down list when the option is chosen, must complete a field text on another page. I can get the drop down menu to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script does not work. Can anyone offer a solution? I used javascript on the changes to the scripts.

            gm.add(cbfChecked);

  • 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.

  • defining the development from stage to the text field

    I am writing a program that asks that a user enters a word in a text field that appears when a button is pressed. Text entry is then compared to an array of words. It works fine, however if the step .ciblent going from the stage to the text field so that there will be a ready blinking cursor in text box o receive the contribution of the users, the input Word will not be considered against the table. The program will not work. the mytextfield.focus works to the point where the cursor is in the field of the tet and receives text etc. but it and says that the word is not in the table. It fails to check it properly. IM 3 days trying to sort and the only way it works is that if the user has to click in the box which is what I don't want. Also is there a way to show the white background textfield without having an error on this subject?

  • Cannot get the text in the field description flex

    Hi all

    I try checking if a field flex text value contains anything or not. IE, this flex field is a mandatory field and I need to check when running.
    But I can't get the text value of the descriptive flex field written by the user at run time.

    OADescriptiveFlexBean oadescriptiveflexbean1 = (OADescriptiveFlexBean) webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive ("PerfRatingFlex");

    }

    I can't retrieve any value of variable revizeNedeni. I tried a few combinations of such use, and I searched the forum for this problem and I tried these suggestions. But I failed.
    Could someone give me some examples of specific code for this?

    Hello

    PerfRatingFlex9__xc_ is not FDF Id field, your identifier is PerfRatingFlex9, just try it with this, you will get the data

    in the page source view, PerfRatingFlex9__xc_ and PerfRatingFlex9, both displayed against the identification sticker, if you search with "PerfRatingFlex9" you will find the same thing against "id =" tag after the prompt of the FDF field.

    ID be very grateful.

    Stephanie.

    If you name the field in the header exactly as the text field, then you just need to set the binding at the global level and no script is needed. You can set the binding in the object palette in the binding tab. Then in the drop-down default choose global binding.

  • Getting the value of the text field element

I want to take the information that is in the text field and with the URL concatinate (IE if the APEX was in the text field, I want the button submit to take me to http://www.oracle.com/APEX).

    Is this possible?
    If so, how?
