How can I change the contents of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hi all!

First time poster and getting quite frustrated trying to understand this issue. Here's the scenario: I use Acrobat Pro 10 to create what is essentially a form of giant order. I have designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and other whatnot and then it exported to Acrobat to continue the construction of the form.

I have a radio button group called 'conference_opportunities' that contains different options at different prices, so they are all the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).

What I've done is created a 'MouseDown' event on the button that sets a variable called 'ConferenceOpportunity', which is equivalent to the title of the option they pick. Then, I want to take this variable and display in a text box called "Conference_Option". I use a variable because my radio buttons values are actual prices of the option they pick, so I can't set the value as the title of the option.

If its an array of boxes and option at the bottom of the page, there is the Option that they selected, the quantity (which can change) and value (in dollars)

I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a kind of summary of what they have chosen to buy as well, but I guess it's the same code.

I'm not an expert at all Javascript, so code snippets would help greatly. I looked on the Document from Adobe on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I also turned to the Almighty google and still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all

Right now, you have to do is use this variable to the value property of your text field... Then add this at the end of your code:

this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;

Also, I would use not MouseDown, MouseUp.

  • How can I change the caption on a text field using data?

    Hi, I have read that it is possible to do, but when you have an xsd file, I use a data xml file preview, so there is no way to link them together, any ideas?

    Thank you!.

    (1) in the designer, tools > Options

    (2) in the left pane, select data binding and display dynamic properties is checked

    (3) to select the field you want the legend to be driven by XML

    (4) in the object palette on the field tab you will notice Caption is now green and underlined, click it.

    (5) If your form is bound to a schema you can see the hierarchy when you press the button next to the entry link or in your case to access the Caption attribute in your XML type > $. textField1.Caption

    Assuming that "$" is your root node.

  • I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    Yes, you can have a one word title, by assigning a paragraph style title to this one word. No, you cannot change the text in a Table of contents, but you can change paragraph style font attributes (line) and add for example, a head of points between the types of OCD paragraph and page numbers. No part of the table of contents will not provide hyperlinks in exported PDF documents.

    When you look up in the menu bar, you can see the word iPages, or simply Pages. There is no product of iPages.

  • How can I change the size of a text box without moving boxes?

    This is my problem:

    Regularly, I have several text boxes in a row area and need to extend the boxes to display all the text. I used the direct Selection tool to select all the boxes and then use the Middle bounding box handle to drag the boxes longer. When I do this the position of the box moves as well. If I type a number for the height of the boxes, it extends the type.

    How can I make the boxes more time to show all the text without moving the boxes?

    I use Illustrator CC2015 on Windows 7.

    Thank you.

    OK, I see now, this is happening to me also. But on a much smaller scale, so did not notice. My Y was pt 178. After scale if has 179.247

    1. With nothing selected appears hovering over the region, which I marked in red at the bottom of the pane click
    2. Hold the SHIFT key, click on the second box
    3. Click and drag on the 3rd bottom of the text pane and drag down.

    Who has taken my y-axis, let me know if it works on windows? Don't know how to get the tool to work.

  • How can I change the contents of the 'most visited' in the Menu bar

    Once Firefox stores 10 entries in "Most visited", there seems to be no way to change these entries (e.g. the installation program "Most visited" while it contains links to Web sites that I want under "Most visited").

    When you search Firefox HELP 'most visited' you don't even no matter what success there.

    You don't control that made the request, you can change the query, you can prefer 20 hits instead. The search for the address bar with the "AwesomeBar" feature might be more to your liking. In any case do not remove the entries in "Most visited" as you would remove real history

    Most visited - bookmark smart folders - recently visited (history)

    https://support.Mozilla.com/questions/858163#answer-225990
    After the creation of the bookmark to a "smart folder", you must, restart Firefox, after which the bookmark looks like a folder and will work properly.

  • How can I change the content of the drop-down list window which shows after JUST click the button START

    The window appears after using the right click on the mouse. Before I had a Tech. remove a Trojan visuses the window showed just find, Explorer, Delete, now it showes such articles that take control, Google, download of virus total.etc.  So, how can I get rid of items that I don't want?

    The menu that appears when you right-click is called the "context menu", and various third-party applications can install entries here.  You have several choices regarding the removal of these entries:

    1. If you can determine what application is involved, you can see if the application has a configuration or menu options enabling to customize what appears in the context menu.

    2. If you can determine what application is involved and that you no longer want or need this app, you can uninstall it.  Praseetha K is close, but no cigar gets.  Virus Total is an online service that checks uploaded for viruses, files.  Virus Total also offers a "upload" allowing you to download suspicious files by right-clicking (see http://www.virustotal.com/advanced.html).  You can decide if you want. If this is not the case, simply uninstall it.

    3. If you are unable to determine what application is involved, or you want to keep the application but it does not offer a configuration without the context menu item, download ShellExView and you will probably be able to go to the bottom of things pretty quickly.

  • How can I change the content of a string when I click on an image?

    I have hundreds of images that need to play a unique sound when you click it.  In order to simplify the construction of this flash file, I need to simplify in a manner that will allow me to change one word.  Some examples of code.  I think that the reason why this does not work, what I'm declaring 'word' twice... suggestions anyone?  Thanks in advance...

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    Stop()

    var password: String = "family".

    trace (word + "_nv")

    This [word + "_nv"] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playaudio);

    This [word + "_nv"] .buttonMode = true;

    var password: String = "grandchildren".

    trace (word + "_nv")

    This [word + "_nv"] .addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, playaudio);

    This [word + "_nv"] .buttonMode = true;

    function playaudio (event: MouseEvent): void {}

    this [word + "_nv"] .play)

    }

    I see no where what you show is simplify anything.  This would save code in order to use only the strings rather than assign the string to variables and using variables.  In all cases. Yes, you do not want to declare the same variable twice (only use "var").  And your playaudio function will not work with whatever the last value of 'word' that you assign.

    To simplify the code, you can name each mc using a digital increment (mc_1, mc_2, mc_3, etc.), and then assign your headset in just a few lines by using a loop.  In audio playback function, you can use the name of the instance of the event.currentTarget.

    This [Event.currentTarget.Name]. Play();

    or even

    MovieClip (event.currentTarget) .play ();

  • How can I change the size of my content in windows Vista?

    I have two accounts in my Vista operating system. Somehow, I don't remember how, I set the guest account to the 'big' if my partner can read. However, my account has now by default 'big' - which means the appearance is very blurry and I can't read an entire e-mail on the screen, among other extremely troublesome issues. I tried to go through Control Panel-> personalization where you are given a choice of standard or superior font size. This is already done to the standard (smaller) and it does not change when I restart the computer. So my question is this: How can I change the appearance of these TWO accounts that look big, fuzzy, hard to read (including fonts, icons and all the content of the window) to the standard and readable format that fits the screen? Desperately needed help because I'm working here. Thank you.

    Hello

    don't update the graphic if necessary drivers

    Try the screen resolution change 1

    try going to your graphic card manufacturers site or computer and are looking for the driver download section

    Search your computer or graphics card model number based on what you have and download and install the latest graphics drivers for vista

    then try to make the screen of solution of problems

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.
