How to fill several fields a...?


I'm working with Acrobat 9 and try to change some fields in an existing PDF, I. I have some fields that repeat (EX: social security #) and I am trying to do it where it just fill in once and it will appear on other parts of the document. I was not the original developer of this PDF form to fill out, and the previous person has several fields that populate only randomly with information/data, when a particular field is completed. HELP PLEASE!

The key thing to understand is that the fields with the same name will automatically have the same value. So, if you give it them the same name. If you don't want it to happen, assign each field a unique name.

  • How to fill a field read-only based on selections from 2 DDlists?

    Follow-up question:

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/2417876#2417876

    I have 2 drop-down lists.  'Department' and 'unit '.

    The selection in DDlist 'Department' creates a single list in DDlist 'unit '.

    I select the appropriate of these two DDlists elements.

    When I do this, I want the text read-only 'NameOnIDBadge' field is filled with a predefined entry.

    Example:

    In DDlist "Department", select the item «Finance & Administration»

    In DDlist 'Unit', select the 'Food Service' item in the list that appears

    THEN:

    In the text field read-only 'NameOnIDBadge' of the following built-in read-only text appears: "contract food serv.»

    (Thanks to Paul, I already know how to do selection in DDlist 'Department' affect the selection list in DDlist 'Unit')

    "but I don't know how to make the choice of these two DDlists to create a new entry in a text field).

    If ((firstDDList.rawValue="Whatever") & (secondDDList.rawValue = 'Whatever'))

    yourTextBox.rawValue = "the text on the right"

    This code would go under the second output of DDList event, replace the code I put in there to add the control to the first DDList

    Hello

    I have a page as a select list item (for example, name). And I want to have * 3 * columns LastName, FirstName MInitial appearing in the list, select the database.

    Is this possible? I don't want to use the 3 elements of the page to let the user select 3 times (ie: LastName, FirstName and MInitial respectively).

    The return_value could be just one or three values.

    The following is my code, BUT I need a * 3 * display_value:

    Select LastName display_value, PeopleId return_value
    of PEOPLETB
    order by 1

    Thank you very much

    OK, let me see if I get this right:

    AFTER the name Mname field and before '.' you need the hose doiuble | ...

    If your query is the following:

    Select Lname | ', ' || Fname | Mname | '. "as display_value, PeopleId as return_value '.
    of PEOPLETB
    where PEOPLETYPE ('i', 'HERE', 'IF')

  • In FF password manager (30.0), when you open change, what are all the fields and how you fill them?

    When you open Edit, there are two choices: Web form and annotated.
    What is the difference?

    Then, there are fields for the host, submit the prefix, username, password, etc.
    How to fill out these fields?

    When you click for the Manager "assumes that of the current Page", all fields not necessarily fill up, so it's just for the username and password?
    I use constantly editing function, so it's a little strange to not see that further instructions here.

    When I click on tools, the saved password dialog box is on the list, so it's in my toolbar all the time.
    I use it constantly.

    What is the last password security? I know there are competitors of ideas. What is Mozilla?

    Thank you.

    Personally, I do not record the connections site in Firefox. The FireFTP extension records the FTP connections, so I use a master password to protect the people.

    I know I should finally pass a manager based password on a cloud, because if often, I forgot my login and have to reset, but... I have not bypassed by comparing the features and tests.

  • How to pre-fill a field before inserting the new record in the same block

    I'm obviously new to the forms and need help! I need to insert new records based on the lodge currently in the same block.

    In the block, I specify a lodge (lodge 0000) and run the query for this particular lodge. I want to insert new records
    for lodge 0000. The number of dressing room must be pre-fill with lodge 0000 and I have to do is enter the others
    provide the information.

    How to make a form to pre-fill the field lodge?

    Instead of global variables, why do you not use "Form settings" which are specific to your form? You can use them in the property 'Initial value' similar to global variables.

  • How the auto fill a field based on the drop-down list unless the specific item is selected

    Hi all

    My apologies if I posted this in in the wrong place, but I am new to these forums, JavaScript and Adobe LiveCycle.

    I am trying to build a form using LiveCycle Acrobat but have problems with the drop-down lists.

    Inititaly I just wanted to fill in the fields in a table based on a matching menu selection dropdown in another table.

    I used the following code and it worked fine:

    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

    fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

    OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

    for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

    fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

    }

    The problem is that now I want the code above works UNLESS one of the items in the drop-down list is enabled specifically in this case, I want the text box in the other table to display a message such as "Details of the entry in the field below.

    I tried to create an If Else statement using the following code:

    Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

    fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

    OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

    for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

    If (fFrom.item (i) .rawvalue = "Option 3") {}

    fTo.item (i) .rawValue = "enter the details in the field below.

    }

    else {}

    fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

    }

    }

    The code now filled the field with "Enter the details in the field below" any item I select in the drop-down list.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    You use .rawValue in the change event. This will cause problems because the selection of the users has not received .rawValue from the drop-down list at the time when the change event is triggered.

    Move your script as it should to the output of the dropdown event.

    Hope that helps,

  • Newb question - displays only the first of several fields

    As a first application of Bb, I write a stopwatch and I want the larger time scale and the small milliseconds. As part of what I am trying to display several bitmap or label side-by-side fields, but when I run it using the Simulator, only the first is displayed.

    So, for example, what I want is:

    1-2: 3 4:5:6 7 8 9

    with each number in own field but what I mean is just

    1

    that is the first field. If I then use buttons they all appear in the verticalFieldManager by default in horizontalField Manager but if I use labels or bitmaps, then all I get is the first field, even if I remove the horizontalFieldManager and just use the default verticalFieldManager. I googled the question, this forum and spent several hours reading the code examples and documentation, but I have yet to understand why I can't put several fields of these types of side-by-side. I have to have something between them as separators or empty fields?

    The code that I've got so far is the following...

     public TimerView()    {     super();      HorizontalFieldManager timerField = new HorizontalFieldManager();
    
          Bitmap hour10 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_1.png");        Bitmap hour01 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_2.png");        Bitmap minute10 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_3.png");      Bitmap minute01 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_4.png");      Bitmap second10 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_5.png");      Bitmap second01 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_6.png");      Bitmap ms100 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_7.png");     Bitmap ms010 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_8.png");     Bitmap ms001 = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("num_9.png");     Bitmap colon = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("Colon.png");
    
          BitmapField bfHour10 = new BitmapField(hour10);       BitmapField bfHour01 = new BitmapField(hour01);       BitmapField bfHourColon = new BitmapField(colon);     BitmapField bfMinute10 = new BitmapField(minute10);       BitmapField bfMinute01 = new BitmapField(minute01);       BitmapField bfMinuteColon = new BitmapField(colon);       BitmapField bfSecond10 = new BitmapField(second10);       BitmapField bfSecond01 = new BitmapField(second01);       BitmapField bfSecondColon = new BitmapField(colon);       BitmapField bfMs100 = new BitmapField(ms100);     BitmapField bfMs010 = new BitmapField(ms010);     BitmapField bfMs001 = new BitmapField(ms001);
    
          timerField.add(bfHour10);     timerField.add(bfHour01);     timerField.add(bfHourColon);      timerField.add(bfMinute10);       timerField.add(bfMinute01);       timerField.add(bfMinuteColon);        timerField.add(bfSecond10);       timerField.add(bfSecond01);       timerField.add(bfSecondColon);        timerField.add(bfMs100);      timerField.add(bfMs010);      timerField.add(bfMs001);
    
            add(timerField);  }
    

    I know that this code violates probably some best practices or standards, but I intend to clean later.

    -edited for spelling

    Give it a go with images of the numbers.  You have it easy with BitmapFields, because you know how much space they need with

    getPreferredHeight() and getBitmapWidth().  Then you should be able to stick them next to each other.

    If I was doing this and who are looking for a special look at the clock, which seems to be what you are doing, I would like to have the digital icons as you do, and then set an image large enough to hold the value of the clock and in my routine of painting, select draw digital icon proper, in the right place.  As long as you load the bitmaps only once, I think it's the most effective way to do it.

    Of course, a much simpler way would be to have just a RichTextField formatted as you suggest - RichTextField because you can have two different fonts in a single field.

  • How to Auto poplulated fields of index for scanning profiles


    Hello

    I worked on Webcenter Capture 11.1.1.8.0, we have recently configured profiles customer capture and we have also set up Email profiles and analyze the profile.

    My concerns here, how to index get fields automatically filled for individual profiles of customers during the analysis of the images of the invoice.

    currently I feed the index on manual work fields. We want to avoid the manual work and it must be filled by full Auto the index fields in the analysis of the invoice for each individual customer profiles. Different index values should appearance for differnent customer profiles.

    the above requirement, is there configure everything can be done in Capture console. We must make this resolution with Console to capture only not to provide all the scripts. We do not want to use Scripts for this requirement.

    Please help me. This something urgent for the business scenario.

    If your question is: "How can I apply different default values of metadata based on the customer profile?" then I think that you will have to do so via the import processor (if you use is not a scanner), recognition or scripts custom.

    You can set up a default for each metadata field, but this won't cut it for you.

    You can probably do this through recognition jobs processor by creating a different one for each customer profile and defining your customer post-processor on his work of processor rcgn correspondent.

    Hope this helps,

  • Problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI break with a PDF to fill several pages

    I'm working on a project at work, on a Dell E6420 (Windows 7 Pro, 8 GB of Ram, Adobe Acrobat Pro XI), involving files PDF fillable. This means that a program takes excel data and converts it into several pages of information of fillable PDF to the screen used to auto fill in other servers. The problem is that when we convert about 10,000 rows of data (1000 + pages) the file will convert, but not open. The CPU fan turns, but nothing appears in the Task Manager, no errors are produced, nothing. The cpu hits 100% treatment, the fan turns and then winds down and the file never opens. I know that is not the corruption of data that I can take the same excel file, split in two, convert the two files, and I can open each created PDF file (about 790 pages each) separately. It will not now then, open both files at the same time. We tried this on multiple computers, with more than enough processing power, so we do not think that it is a matter of systems, but a limitation of the Adobe program.

    I researched that Adobe has a 2 GB limit on the size of the file? These files are spell to 790KB - 1000KB in size, but are filled with fields to fill in, so I think it is misleading. Any ideas? I am desperately looking for help on this.

    Here's a solution, and if anyone can explain why, I would like to know if its something Adobe can update/fix.

    By unchecking "Enable Adobe JavaScript" I was able to get the files to open. So, apparently it is a resource or a similar limitation when using Adobe's JavaScript on the forms to fill out? Is turned off, it opens without a problem. Can someone help explain this?
