Highlight the fields as default for PDF forms

Hi all

I recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which are marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users first click "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is it possible to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?

See you soon,.

David

Put this in the Layout event: loan from the main form (default is form1 in the hierarchy):

If (! app.runtimeHighlight) {}
app.runtimeHighlight = true;
}

    I am creating a total field contingent in a PDF form created by me which will only add cost in total ONLY if the box is checked.  Another disadvantage to this is one of the fields (number of monitors), I am eager to multiply by the field notes, which is a field required number on there.

    All of them are select___

    Here are all the names of FQDN (towards the bottom):

    Check the boxes:

    • selectiPhone
    • selectSwipe
    • selectMonitor
    • selectDesktop
    • selectLaptop
    • selectiPadCell
    • selectiPad
    • selectPhone

    Fields of costs:

    • CostSwipe
    • CostMonitor
    • CostDesktop
    • CostLaptop
    • CostiPadCell
    • CostiPad
    • CostPhone

    The notes field that will calculate this is "NotesComputer Monitor in notes". -It is a body of numbers forced the inability to put anything else in it.

    Then add them all in TOTAL COST

    Sorry for my ignorance: it's my first time doing a form like this.

  • Help!  Can I add an additional field to an existing PDF form?

    I have an existing PDF I created from a Word Doc and have made this PDF file in a form with many drop-down list fields, specially formatted fields, fields, ect.

    Now I need to add another field of this form (i.e. a table "office use only"), however I don't want to do it in the Word Doc, convert to PDF and then having to recreate the PDF form from scratch, I did a huge amount of work, the creation of all fields in the form.

    Is there a way I can make the necessary changes to my Word Doc, covert, he to a new PDF and then merge to my existing PDF, while keeping all the form fields is just to add an additional field that and as I can then turn it into form fields?

    I already tried - to create the table in Word, print screen, save it in JPEG format and insert into my existing PDF.  The picture is not as crispy as it should be and looks like a ' add to ' I don't really want to.

    The table I want to insert has formatting special meets a company style guide, so I really need to create it in Word to keep the required formatting.

    HELP PLEASE!

    Hi jlgrobbelaar,

    Yes, you can use the Replace Pages to keep all the form fields and scripts, as they are now in your original PDF.  Here is a tutorial on the use of Pages - replace

    https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-replace-the-background-pages-in-a-PDF-form

    If you add your new field/area to the form results in changes of layout for the form then you may need to move the fields in place, but it's better than having to add everywhere.

    Hope this helps,

    First go to your form's constructor. In the menu EDIT travel PREFERENCES can DURATION tab and set the location of the Web browser. Here, define the path of the executable file.

    And check out this link. Make Chrome default browser

    Hope this helps

  • How to manage the fields are mandatory in a FORM

    Hello

    Forms Builder (9.0.4.2.0) - version

    I just want to know the best practices for maintaining the fields are mandatory in a FORM.

    Because if we put a required property for the 'yes' then can enter us message here without validation written in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger.

    In a form I have; cursor could not move without going into this form. (even we required value on the property right) How this happen.

    sexy

    Hello

    If you want to replace the standard message forms, you can write a When-validate-Item item level/block/form, then delete the required property of the element.
    If you leave the property to Yes, you can write a trigger-ERROR at the level of the blocks to change the message:

    declare
         lv_errcod NUMBER := ERROR_CODE;
    Begin
         if lv_errcod = '40202' Then
              Message('You absotutly HAVE to enter this field');
         else
              Message('err:' || lv_errcod );
         end if ;
    end;

  • Hide the caption only when the content of the field is empty for an Adobe form field

    Hi all

    We try to hide only the caption of a field if the content of the field is empty.

    (a) the following code allows you to hide all cru (the entire field including the legend). What we should change the code to hide the legend?

    -------------------------------------------------------

    If (this.) RawValue is nothing)

    {

    This.Presence = "hidden".

    }

    -------------------------------------------------------

    (b) another option would be to use the conditional formatting-> change of text in the caption to the text color white, if the content of the field is empty to make it invisible on print.

    Are there options available ALD or code that must be used to achieve one of the options above?

    Thank you in advance!

    Kind regards

    Roy

    Modify the script to:

    If (this.) RawValue is nothing)

    {

    xfa.resolveNode("this.caption.value.#text").value = "";

    }

  • Issues of implementation by default for PDF Reader and Acrobat is installed

    Hello

    I hope that it will be a pretty simple question to solve if there will be a solution or it be the case that Acrobat and Reader have this conflict and that is like that.

    I will describe my situation and what I am trying to accomplish the first.  I sometimes need to modify forms on PDF files so I need Acrobat installed.  I also need the ability to preview the PDF file in Windows Explorer (I don't have to wait and open Acrobat/Reader whenever I want to check a PDF of sense).  Unfortunately, for some reason, install Acrobat does not give me the preview function.  I need to install Reader for viewing work.  Well now, I need to print PDF forms but with the form fields * only *.  Unfortunately here again player does not have this feature.  I use Acrobat to do this.

    In summary, I need reader to see a preview of a PDF file in Explorer and Acrobat to change forms and print PDF files with the fields of the form only.  So, I use that drive for the preview function; It is never actually opened.  However, Reader takes upon himself to make the default program for PDF files, which means that I have to 'Open with' on every single PDF, I want to open and print.  Acrobat refuses to let be the default program.  If I try to change it to Acrobat, it simply returns to the player.  I have to be able to use Acrobat as a PDF Viewer by default as the player is installed.  I refuse to believe there is not at least a setting somewhere where I can register * force * windows only use the .exe in the Acrobat folder when I try to open a PDF file.  That's what I'll get for now this post gets visibility.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    I FIXED IT!  So first I tried to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro.  Oddly, this broke the PDF preview.  The preview works through Reader, I didn't, but whatever.  Reinstalled Acrobat 9, has not changed the situation.  I've uninstalled reader XI and installed the X drive instead.  NOW it allows me to choose what I want to manage PDF files when I press this button in the general tab of preferences in Reader.  It was certainly a lot more under the hood than to change a program by default because it took a minute to finish.

    After you open a Times Reader X, preview began working again and now he recognizes my desire to use Acrobat to open a PDF file and works fine.  I don't know if it's a problem with the drive XI or a question seeks to use it and Acrobat 9, but they do not work well together.

  • Is it possible to use the fields in writing a PDF document on an iPad?

    I have a ton of accessible PDFs in writing which must be fully functional on a tablet. When I find a writable PDF on my iPad, none of the fields are there. What is happening with it! Y at - it an app that can do this function? Adobe offers an app that can allow the user to take advantage of this essential function in a PDF document?

    I'm tempted to turn all my PDF files in web forms and all of the Adobe course to jump. I have about 450 of them however any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

    Well in this ten months things have changed. Adobe Reader for iOS and now Android have support for forms, including automatic form and calculations, but it is still less than what Expert PDF supports.

  • If another return for PDF form

    I am familiar with JavaScript and need to create a named calculation to a PDF form. The form is used to determine the benefit. There is an option button called payroll with two values, 'internal' and 'external '. A calculation to determine the costs will have to say: If payroll is equal to 'internal' then 1.02.98 else. This number will then insert the area of costs. The calculation to determine the markup must say: If payroll is equal to 'internal' then 1.2 1.4 else. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Costs field calculate event:

    If (this.getField("payroll").value == "internal") {}

  • Docucreate - how to put in the field by default AND can be changed by the user

    Howdy, new to the forum and new for Documaker/Docucreate. I work in Docucreate 11.4 and try to set up a field on a .fap so that it contains the text by default (address), but can also be modified by the user. The best I could get in is to call a DAL script to set the default address, but if change you it comes back as soon as you tab off the field. THX

    You run the DAL script via the PreEdit function on the ground?

  • How to manage the image files used in PDF forms

    With LiveCycle, I created an interactive form for requests of Help Desk-type and the form works perfectly. I tested it and everything works. See the property. Hide, clear the fields. And all other behaviors I added with the Action Builder.

    As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I've added a header image (which is in My Documents > my pictures). I have tested locally and downloaded the form in Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form went well. The header was intact. So I assume that type of image has been incorporated somehow.

    Then I put the House file and opened it and - Voila! -No header image!

    That's happened?

    The image files need to be downloaded and the path relative to the location of the file? For me, it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. Something more. I can probably download the image to a location in Sharepoint, and then set the path to the image in the XML file.

    But I would like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle Forms.

    If you set this value, it will remember that whenever you return to this file until you change something else.  If you don't want to define for each folder one at a time, you can use my trick to apply both:
