Hide pages of a form (PDF) - through the tick a checkbox

Dear community,

I have a question, of course .

I want to create a 'flipbook' respectively form with the life cycle of the designer that mainly contains check boxes. No problem so far, but I would like to add a few features to the boxes by checking. Characteristic most important is when a certain box has been checked, one or several slides hide or disappear in the same PDF file.

Illustrating this point a little more: assume we have a catalogue with different types of clothing (underwear, tops, accessories, low). If a user of the PDF file is just interested in cell phones and accessories, it can check it at the beginning and the bottoms and underwear pages disappear or hide. Result would be that the user has no need to click on the entire catalog, but only the pages that are of interest - tops and accessories!

I guess bookmarks might be an easy fix, but I prefer to do through ticks in a checkbox in the start PDF files.

Is it possible and how can I realize that?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Ok

The problem is that the forms created by the import of files PDF (or Word), such as your, have limited dynamic characteristics. You will not be able to show/hide the pages according to the example above.

Two options:

Sticking with LC Designer:

If the PDF does not have too many pages, you can export each page of the TPP as a image as a JPEG file. Start a new form in the LC designer and use the image object on each page for each of the images PPT. You will end up with a form that matches the original PDF. Once this is complete, you can then add checkboxes and show/hide functionality.

Use the form in PDF on its own:

You could use the original and put PDF in place of buttons and bookmarks in Acrobat, to jump to the relevant pages in the PDF. You won't hide dynamic pages, but you can still make it easy for the user to navigate through the PDF document.

Use Acrobat portfolios:

You can create attractive and endearing portfolios (particularly v9) Acrobat help. Divide the PDF in chapters and combined in a portfolio. Examples here: http://acrobatusers.com/pdf-exchange/

There may be other options too. I think you should consider what the desired user experience and then the best way to achieve this.

Good luck

  • Form open through the IP address instead of the server name in the URL!

    Hi all

    We have forms 11 GR 2 64-bit with the JDK 7 9 on server update and updating JRE 7 25 on PC clients.

    I m facing problem in one of my customer's PC. Please note that follows;

    http://svr:9001/forms/frmservlet? form = new, it does not open my form and displays the error.

    http://192.0.0.1:9001/forms/frmservlet? form = new, it allows to open my screen successfully without any errors.

    that is when we enter the server name in the URL, it does not open my form. But when we enter the IP address of the server, its ok.

    It must use the name of the server, exactly as it is defined in the global variable, which is used to open reports. Thus, if we use

    IP in the URL address, it opens to all reports.

    This problem occurs in one of my PC, other customer client PC is OK.

    Help please!

    Thanks/regards,

    Hello

    as explained by Sham, but among the 'hosts' file on the local pc not the server and also the other way around

    That is to say

    SRV 192.0.0.1

    It is the local file that will be used to translate the name "srv" in the IP address of the "192.0.0.1' for the network software from the local pc power"watching"at this address.

    So when you ask "srv" the "hosts" file can be inspected and the IP address of the returned '192.0.0.1' as translation

  • PDF form with several auto pages copy text in fields on the following pages

    I created a PDF form with multiple pages. I started with an Illustrator file, then exported to Acrobat to make it complete. For some reason any, however, when users enter text on the first page and try to continue on the other, the text on the first page only auto copies on the following pages. And if you delete what was on the second page (or third) to enter the correct data, which provides information on the first page.

    I guess it must be something that twisted when I was creating the form, so I don't know if there is a way to fix without all over again.

    Thank you!

    Give a unique name to each field. The fields with the same name are copies of each other and will automatically have the same value.

  • What is the function to hide all pages in a form?

    Hello

    What function I could use to hide all pages in a form?

    For example: when a user click on a button, I want to hide all the pages of the form.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This works because the script in parentheses () is re-run until the value of i is 25.

    The loop is built in three parts:

    var i = 1;     He declares the variable i and sets with an initial value of 1

    I have<=25;     this="" is="" a="" test,="" the="" loop="" runs="" until="" i="" is="" greater="" than="">

    i ++ which increase the value of i by 1 every time the loop is executed

    When you put is all together that...

    for (var i=1; i<=25; i++)
    {
         // script in here will run 25 times
    }
    

    If you use a hidden for the number of pages field, you must set this default value at design time (object > range of value). So the for statement would look like this:

    for (var i=1; i<=totalNumberPages.rawValue; i++)
    

    You don't need to change the variable i of all.

    Hope that helps,

    Therefore, there is a solution to fill a second PDF with data from the first.

    1. 1 PDF form with input fields

    2. 1 PDF form must be registered with the entry

    4. 2nd PDF form displays the data under the graph with the abilty to edit these data to dynamically change table

    I don't want a hollow guide the whole scenario. I just first of all whether it is even possible to supply a PDF form with data in another form PDF.

    If it is possible please give me advice to know what to look for everything.

    We do not want to send our staff of sales with PDF solutions to our clients, their collection and their work through a big pile of measures to manage this scenario.

    You must understand that there is a big difference between the JS, you might be familiar with (the one used in web pages) and one used in PDF files.

    Although the basic syntax is the same most of the objects and methods are different, as PDF files are fundamentally different from web pages.

    You can find the reference to API JS Acrobat here: JavaScript for Acrobat | Adobe Developer Connection

    The form data can be copied by exporting it to a file FDF then import this file into the other PDF (assuming that the field names are the same), or it can be done using a script that uses global variables. The latter is more automatic, but may require adjustment of the parameters of the application or using a function of confidence (IE, a feature that is installed on the local computer instead of just in the file itself).

    The first is easier to implement and use, but requires the intervention of the user.

  • next page does not work in the files pdf in the browser,

    in a multipage pdf document hit page down on page 1 go to page 2, hit even once, he goes to page 1, instead of page 3.
    The same link in other browsers work correctly. as does the PDF in presentation mode.

    Hi jackever1, if I turn on caret navigate using the F7 key, and then click in the document, Page Up and Page Down do not normally work at the 100% zoom. If I reduce the zoom so that I can see the entire page, then it works as expected. I think that the keyboard navigation may not be compatible with the techniques of layout of the PDF Viewer.

    Have you tried to disable the keyboard navigation? Either:

    • the F7 key
    • page Options: button menu '3-bar' (or Tools menu) > Options > advanced, under the mini general tab, uncheck the box for "always use the cursor keys to navigate through the pages."

    It's something that started to happened recently and it works fine in IE and Chrome.
    I don't see that the design of the pdf viewer has changed, so I think it might have something to do with the fact that there has been some sort of update of the viewer of pdf in firefox or something?

    Hello, firefox 19 introduced its own Viewer integrated pdf - if you want to switch it to the plugin you used before displaying a PDF file just go to the firefox options > applications and scroll down and set the default action for the portable document (pdf) format.

  • How to set the initial state to hide/show buttons on opening PDF files?

    InDesign offering a wonderful object multi-state capacity which unfortunately does not work in PDF files. It took a bit of research for me to come with this information, the UI program itself gives indications that this should work. (Why not maybe another forum of discussion.)

    So, I create an interactive PDF using buttons to hide/show specific paragraphs (which are also implemented as buttons because only the buttons and forms can be hidden or shown, AFAIK).

    I've set up a PDF created via InDesign using the six control keys and seven paragraphs - one of these paragraphs is the initial state that I want to see when the document is opened. As long as the PDF file that I create is distributed, that's how it works: an initial paragraph appears, buttons can be clicked and the stuff of Heroes appears the mark.

    However, a colleague thoughtfully saved the PDF file (so it could rename something more to his liking). When he does this, he left one of the displayed subsidiary paragraphs, rather than the initial paragraph I intended... and of course, this is the version that came out to the customer.

    Question: Is there a way to set the initial state to hide/show buttons when a PDF document is opened first, regardless of the State in which he could let or saved? I guess it's sort of ON OPEN event that would allow me to define an initial state as a safety net to the way I save the original document. Obviously, the PDF AS I DELIVER IT will pave the way, I want it, but I'm trying to overcome the appearance of the Murphy's law of a document that can be re-recorded in another State. An event which OPENED on that cure.

    Thank you.

    in this case you would have been better if you had locked the PDF file in order to prevent changes ANDS record as actions...

  • Is it possible to remove one of several boxes of a pdf without the leftover boxes form automatically redial themselves?

    Is it possible to remove one of several boxes of a pdf without the leftover boxes form automatically redial themselves?

    I used LiveCycle Designer to make a form with several boxes. When I deleted a few of the boxes left him on the form becomes themselves. This makes my sync JavaScript since JavaScript box numbers does NOT automatically update. I hope that there is a preference option for not updating auto. I can not find

    I think you use the same name for each box, right?

    If so, each box has an index number that represents its position relative to other copies in the XML tree and when you add, remove, or rearrange the copies the index will be always recreated because it's how XML works.

    There is no way to stop the Designer to do this, I'm afraid.

    To meet individual objects through JavaScript, you must use unique names.

    Once opened, go to 'File', then ' Save as ' and change the type of file to a file HAVE.
