How to create a form that requires thousands of boxes?

Hello forum members

I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.  I searched the internet and forums for the last few hours and I can't seem to find information on how to create a form with multiple check boxes.  I don't want to give individual names to thousands of boxes.  I am hoping there is a simple solution to my problem.  Maybe don't even need to use checkboxes.

Here it is...

I'm a DJ and the wedding season is coming.  For every wedding that I do, I usually give the bride and groom a list of my songs and they choose a bunch of songs they would like to have at their reception.  In the past, I've just been sent word to Web page with songs and they would send me their selections in another document or directly in the email response.  I want to make this process easy for them (and me) in a pdf document where they can simply place a check mark next to the songs they want and then send it to me.  Premium (if possible) I would like to be able to export the songs they have selected in a separate document so that I don't have to go through the full pdf (with thousands and thousands of songs) when they send it to me.

I would be forever grateful if someone help me or direct me to a link with additional information.

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Probably the best thing to do is to have Acrobat automatically adds checkboxes for you. It would take to add a box character by using a font such as Wingdings next to each song title. When you select "forms > run form field recognition", it detects each box on every page and add the checkbox fields.

You need to activate the reader of the document (Advanced > user rights enable in Adobe Reader) so that users can save the completed form.

Once you receive it back, you can run a script to create a list of selected songs. Exactly how do you it depends on indications of the final form that you create.

  • How to create a form that fills a page of review before being submitted?

    Anyone used Eloqua to create a form that fills a review page that the bidder has to address in order for the form to fill out?

    The sequence would be:

    1. landing page/form
    2. landing page with the data in the form of review
      • The second page with the form data will have to be approved before the presentation or the person could go back and change the data

    Hi Jennifer,.

    The way to do is to create a form with a field, mapping on a contact field you can set a value from us Let's say 1. and then on the second form, if the user access, he or she cannot present until whoever the approver is changes the value 0 (zero). Once the approval is made (assuming that anyone who needs to do this) the flag should be set to zero.

    Your form 2 form processing step can guide them in appropriate redirection, or javascript on the form page 2 can promot the user to wait for approval.

    Hope this helps... I would like to know if that's what you're looking for.

    Thank you

  • How to create a form that adds information to a list on the site of the muse?

    Hello

    I need to create a form for my site of muse. When the form is submitted the information needs to go to a table or database or the list on this site of muse.

    For example, a customer would go on my site and do not want to publish information on what they are looking for. They fill in their details and what they are after and click on submit. Such information would then appear in a list or a table containing information of other customers who submitted information.

    Is this possible? Is it possible to do in Affairs Cataylst? Any assistance or other means would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Yes it is possible with BC. You can either use the form of Muse or create a form in British Colombia, and then insert the form html code in the Page of Muse.

    Once the user submits the form, a notification would be triggered for you that would show the summary form as what the user has filled in the details.

    In CRM, submitting a form creates an action in respect of the user entity. You can access the case and see related information. In BC CRM, you can directly access all cases and use the filter options to filter with date etc. Alternatively, you can generate a report on the use of the form or the case where he would list details of the user and the field values that the user has submitted.

    Please note, published Muse site are web hosting sites, which does not include the feature of CRM/CMS in order to get the CRM, you must upgrade the site which is the plan of site different from those you get with your subscription to the CC.

    In addition, I suggest try all features with a place to test first and then, after finalization, you can upgrade to a paid plan.

  • I have created a form that is used to control an area of cleaning...

    I have created a form that is used to control an area of cleaning. I added a script to determine if a zone passes or failed (called Action1), which is 'Pass' or 'Fail', based on the mark in a field called Score1. If a zone fails, the user must correct the failure and return to corrected again the same area. Therefore, under this field is another area that the user must fill if the zone fails (called Score 1A), how can I add a script to automatically copy the Score 1 to Score1a mark if Action1 is a 'Pass' and leaving empty if it is a "failure"?

    They all have the same mean: you try to access a field name that does not exist.

    The "TypeError: f is null" error comes from a calculation script that uses one of the first two options in the calculation tab and others from a custom calculation script.

    You must remember that JS is case-sensitive and that the field names must be spelled EXACTLY as they appear in the file, including spaces, special characters, etc.

    I want to create a W shape using script type.

    How to create a form of type free paths (like those drawn with pencil or pen tools) using js?


    Thank you

    This is because you create separate ways. Create just a first, and then add all the pathpoints.

    Do not forget that all first path you create comes with free first 2 points, so just move these in the position as shown above. Then add the new points to the same path, rather than create new ones (lines #4, #8, and #12 in my example).

  • I've created a form that uses the value field text to fill the text of another field.  Does not take into account changes

    I've created a form that uses the value field text to fill the text of another field.  However, if I need to change the text, the second field does not update this change.  Instead of reset the form each time, is the Javascript code to update the fields if they have been modified?

    For example I Text1 and Text2.

    When I type in Hello in Text1 I see Hello in Text2.

    Later, if I decide to change to Goodbye Text1, Text2 remains Hello.

    The shape of the hoe can recognize this change?

    Thank you

    Edit: I think I have misunderstood the situation.

    If you want to both fields have the same value, just to give them the same name.

  • How to create a button that allows the user to check their form to find errors?

    Hello

    I use LiveCycle ES3.  I would like to add, at the end of my form (independent, NOT on a web form), a button that allows the user to check their form for errors, and then display a list of errors and highlight areas with errors.  Finally, he must turn off highlight these fields when the errors have been corrected.

    Also, in the form, if the user makes selections, they must include an attachment with their form.  I want to make sure when they make selections that requires an attachment, a field is generated at the end of the form that lists all required attachments.  Is this possible?

    Thank you.

    The button validate calls a Script called "controller" object If you look at the hierarchy of the form Variables example there are two Script objects: controller and validation. Script objects are used to maintain the reusable script functions.

    You have to re-create those for validation to work. If you right click on 'form1' (or whatever your node in the foreground is called in the hierarchy), you can select "insert a Script object. You will need to do it twice.

    In the hierarchy, there is then a node Variables with two Script objects. Name them even as the form of the sample and copy and paste the sample form scripts in them.
