How to protect the edit form field text

Hi - I use Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Windows.  I created a form; in the date field, I need the day to display when the form is activated first (open).  The form is sent to the additional workers, I need to stay in the field of the form and not change the date.  I was able to get the current date to display on the logon form, but each of the following to open the form changes the date.  I even saved a completed form (after you complete the form in Reader) but when he opened subsequently, it changed to the current date.  I'd appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Yes, you can use this:

var currentDate = this.getField("Today").value;

If (' currentDate == null | currentDate == "") {}

var f = this.getField ("Today");

f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", newDate());

}

You must manually clear the field, make it read-only and then save

file and close it.

The next time that you open it, the field must be filled.

  • How do I batch edit form fields that have already been filled (if possible)?

    I am currently working on an electrical infrastructure project.  I designed roughly 800 diagrams electrical manhole.  One such example is shown below:

    manholeexample.JPG

    In the upper left and lower left corners, I have included the 'name' of this particular look and it's adjacent looks (highlighted with red boxes).  During the presentation of information to the client, they asked that the 'E' in these names is replaced by a "WP" for the rest of their data.  Is there a way to do this without edit individually each form field on these 800 diagrams?  Don't forget, I want to keep the rest of the fields intact, including the number after the 'E '.  I'm not particularly text warned, so if anyone happens to have any suggestions, please guide me through it.  I'll check back often in the hope of a solution.  Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Protect the editing form, but always to export data to spreadsheet

    Is there a way I can protect my forms for others cannot change them, but they are able to export the data into a spreadsheet?

    Hello

    You can use the function LockAllFields of Paul, which will prevent a user from changing a field, but still allow the export of form data. It is fundamentally affecting the access of all fields readOnly property.

    See the example of Paul here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3168183#3168183. I have a slightly amended version here: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.

    I created a form with some fields that I copied and pasted. Is there a way to align them and distribute them so that precisely the appearance neat and professional? Thank you!

    Select Yes, some fields, right click and you will see the different options that are available.

If you drag a field near a guide, the side of the field the closer the mouse cursor emerges slowly to her when close enough. They will also align to guides (with lower zoom settings) when selected and uttered by using the arrows of the keyboard cursor.

    There is also the grid you can activate (Ctrl + U) and make snap it to grid River (Ctrl + SHIFT + U). Set up in the preferences: Edit > Preferences > units & Guides > Grid Layout

    Hello

    I have the data in xml format as follows: < CP_ZERO_COST > 2 < / CP_ZERO_COST >

    Now my requirement is, if CP_ZERO_COST is 2, then the column should display 'No' and CP_ZERO_COST is 1 column displays 'yes '. Now this 'yes' or 'no' is not in the xml tag. I need to do in the RTF form field.

  • Data of the interactive report not displaying on the edit form.

    I have an interactive report that contains 3 rows. When I click the button change beside one of these lines, the edit form displays the data in this row.
    But when I click the buttons edit beside the other 2 rows of report, I receive an error message that indicates: "ORA-01403: no data found." Error line could not.

    I don't see why this is happening. The pharmacokinetics of the table involved is 'Date of application', so 'Column link' report is sent the value "Request Date" to the P54_Request_Date element in the page of the form.
    No idea why this would work properly for one of the lines report but not for the other 2?
    Obviously, each of the lines report must have a value for the PK, then why the form would not be able to find the same line that displays the report? Is this a problem with the process of "line of" form?
    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I'd know it before. The date format default for your application, as shown in the following debug output is DD-MON-RR
    >
    0.35:... "NLS: decimal separator Set =". »
    0.35:... NLS: Set NLS Group separator = ",".
    0.35:... NLS: Date Format Set = "DD-MON-RR.
    >

    So, it means that the part of time to a date column is never taken into account when matching a date field. You can change the default date of the application format (shared components-> change the attributes of the globalization) and the value is in the format that you specified for the column in the report (DD-MON-yyyy hh24miss). It will then do the ARF in the process of work correctly without the need of the value of the page element that contains the column of the massage table. However, the change may affect other pages in your application that may depend on the date is in the format "DD-MON-rr.
    You can try this workaround.
    Remove the header before process you added for re - format the value PK-item page
    Define a process lower than the RFA process before header with a sequence
    Set after a bidding process with a sequence that is lower than the process of automatic line (DML)
    Use the code below for each new process

    execute immediate 'alter session set nls_date_format=''DD-MON-YYYY HHMISS''';

    Open the document in Reader, go to the menu file-> properties, then click on the tag are. You will see a list of the fonts used in the document.

  • How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in &lt; af:query &gt;

    Hello

    How to control the number of fields in the Advanced mode in < af:query >?

    Say I have 20 fields in my table, and I created a view of criteria with 2 fields. This would work perfectly in basic mode. But in Advanced mode , the choice of fields is possible by clicking on the Add fields button. I didn't have the customer to search with all 20 fields. Only 10 fields must be listed in the Advanced Mode, even if there are 20 fields in my table.

    How can I control the list of fields in ADDFields button?

    Any ideas?



    KR

    You can uncheck the contestable ownership of attributes that you must not appear in the Advanced Mode (but they will not appear in the other modes too!) or by programming the value the same as those mentioned here.

    http://adfcodebits.blogspot.com/2010/11/bit-27-setting-view-object-attributes.html

    Also, you can hide the button AddFields as suggested here - http://www.notjustjava.com/2011/12/cool-tips-to-showhide-components-of-the-query-control-of-adf/

  • How to remove the character within a text.

    How to remove the character within a text.
    If I have a text like: "[4, 5, 6, 3, 9]" How can I remove the commas?
    Thank you
    and Merry Christmas.

    A possible technique would be to use a repetition structure that loop until all of the commas are removed:

    on mouseUp me
     
    theString = '[4, 5, 6, 3, 9].
     
    Repeat while theString contains «,»
    thePos = offset ("," rope)
    delete theString.char [thePos]
    end repeat
     
    put the rope
     
    end mouseUp

    However, this probably isn't the most effective technique if you are dealing with very long strings.

    If you use the JavaScript syntax, you can strip characters with a regular expression.
