How to auto fill a date for an Adobe form field?

Hello. I'm new to Acrobat. I would like to have the Acrobat auto today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check using forum and he said that I associate this javascript text field:

var f = this.getField ("Today"); If (f.valueAsString == "'") f.value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

However, when I try, nothing happens.

No idea as to what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Mr. Krebs,.

Y at - it a text field in the PDF document titled "Today" and defined as a date field? And the format of Date Options for the field value matches what is in the JavaScript (jj/mm/aaaa)?

Best,

Sara

  • 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 = "";

    }

    I have a VBA application that fills the data in an Acrobat form.  Do I have to distribute a complete Acrobat on each machine that uses this application (it will be disastrous) or is there a way I can use the software Acrobat reader only.  I use the next AcroExch.App and AcroExch.PDDoc object to the form.  I hope there's a distribution object, I can use the full application and not because I don't want users to have access to forms and to keep the cost down.

    It is important to realize that the Acrobat SDK kit is a marketing tool for Acrobat. So, Yes, certainly you need a copy for each system. There is no redistributable components.

  • How to get auto-fill to work for applications not not the browser

    Not as long as I am with the browser Safari, but during a phone and go to an application, any application, like Netflix when I put in my email as part of the connection that I have to type out in plenty no matter how many apps i go to, my Samsung would provide auto-fill it in when I start to type.

    Yet once, it is NOT on so that in the web browser on the internet, but on the phone using all apps.

    ?

    Thank you

    Not all applications will allow an AutoFill, but I found that I can use a shortcut of ALT text to get my email in some applications. It will depend on the application itself. I went into settings > general > keyboards > text replacement and then entered my email address, then a 3-letter code. When in some applications you can enter the 3 letter code and it will replace as my email address.

  • How can I fill a date field when the document is signed?

    I have 4 fields of digital signature in a PDF form.  Next to each signature is a field of date (format dd/mm/yyyy).  I would like it so when a user registers the signature box that fills the date next to her field with today's date, then change to read only (so it cannot be changed).

    In Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, I have this form and it has the following fields

    Signature1

    Signature2

    Signature3

    Signature4

    DateField1

    DateField2

    DateField3

    DateField4

    Signature fields trigger a Topaz.GemSignPlus driver where the end-user will sign on an electronic signature pad.

    How do I use Javascript to detect when one of these Signature fields is populated and fill in the date in the appropriate date field?  I tried to create Boolean variables initialized as false for each field of GIS.  Then when the signature is complete, I try to change it true, but for some reason any my javascript detect that the value does nothing.

    I searched the net endlessly for this solution.  I can't believe I'm having a difficult time finding an answer.  I mean how many places you go where they ask you to "sign and date here."  Each document signature base I've ever seen also requires a date.

    In any case, here's what I have.  Functions, I have a script called JavaScript Document name populate date:

    function populatedate()
    {
    var bSignature1 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature2 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature3 = new Boolean();
    var bSignature4 = new Boolean();

    If {(bSignature1)
    DateField1.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());
    }

    If {(bSignature2)
    DateField2.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());
    }

    If {(bSignature3)
    DateField3.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());
    }

    If {(bSignature4)
    DateField4.value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());
    }
    }

    In each signature field, I on the signing tab "this script is run when the field is signed:

    var bSignature1 = new Boolean (true);

    I'm changing to true see.  My thought is that if it is true that DateField1.value should print jj/mm/aaaa in her building in the Date() function.

    But maybe I do not get the correct context.  I'm new to Javascript in Adobe.

    It's a round script. Why not just use the signature signature of script to set the value of the field date? The correct syntax for this is:

    this.getField("DateField1").value = util.printd ("d/m/yyyy", new Date());

  • TRIGGER - how to auto fill a column with the sequence

    Hello

    I have a table that contains information about the customers... I have bound him to a form of the APEX so that when a user enter information through a form he generates a sequence/trigger number and saves it in the column (named tracking_NO)... I use this tracking_no as key for monitoring purposes.

    My problem is that when the admin will post information from MS access to Oracle, it generates automatically a number for my column 'tracking_No '... Please advice how to use the same trigger Auto Fill a column (tracking_no) when the value is zero.

    Here's my trigger

  • How to convert a xs: date for XS: DateTime

    In my application, there are the following 2 cases, I need to manage:

    1. I have a "XS: date" and I need to convert it in "XS: DateTime".
    2. I have a "XS: date" and a "XS: Time" and I need to combine in ' XS: DateTime.

    Following the answer to this question on Stackoverflow, I tried both " xs:dateTime($date) "and" fn:dateTime($date, $time) " but none of them worked.

    When I used " xs:dateTime($date) " to manage the 1st case, I got the following exception during the OSB has reached the stage of conversion for the date:

    OSB Replace action failed updating variable "body": Error parsing XML: {err}XP0021: "2014-12-09": can not cast to {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}dateTime: error: date: Invalid date value: wrong type: 2014-12-09

    When I used " fn:dateTime($date, $time) ", the transformation is not yet accepted by the IDE. " It displays the following error:

    line 113, column 42: "{http://www.w3.org/2004/07/xpath-functions}dateTime" unknown function (or number of arguments (2) is wrong

    For now, as a solution, I use 'concat' to combine the date and time fields in the 2nd case and add 'T00:00:00' to handle case 1, but I think that this is not a good approach.

    I would be very grateful if you could show me how I can correctly convert date in dateTime format fields.

    For the moment, I use OSB 11 g with the last v11.1.1.7.4 grouped patch applied.

    Found in the documentation that, in fact, only the working paper 2004-07 is implemented in this version:

    https://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E28280_01/admin.1111/e15867/XQuery.htm#OSBAG444

    According to the specifications, the casting of XS: date for XS: DateTime should work:

    XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 functions and operators

    But as I mentioned previously, it is perhaps that you do not pass the correct data type.

    If the data are not based on a schema, then sch:jdOriginalPromisedDeliveryDate will be considered from type xdt: untypedAtomic and cannot be cast in all except XS: String.

    Is - it works better:

    {xs: date ($jdOriginalPromisedDeliveryDate) cast as xs: DateTime}

  • How to use a PDF form as a source of data for the second form PDF

    Hello world

    I have the following scenario:

    We want that our sales staff to collect data of our clients through a PDF form.

    We do not like to combine with the PDF we print them or sending them by E-Mail.

    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

    3. 2nd PDF form with a table filled with 1 form data

    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.

    If this isn't the case, I would like to read the recommendations for solutions easy possible to solve this task.

    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.

    Thank you and regards

    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.

  • How can I do if data is entered in a field where it is mirrored on another field in the document?

    I don't want them even named as I don't want the other appearing until it is entered in the first field.

    Hello

    If the fields in the form have the same name then the data entered in a field is filled automatically in others for the same name. For example, if there is a form field custom field named 1 in a document, and there is another domain with the same name (custom field 1) in the other document and download you together in a single transaction and send the document, then the data entered in the document in a custom field 1 will be automatically entered in the custom field 1 another document as well. This also applies to a single document only as well.

    Does that help?
