How to set a form field to accept only integers?

I use Acrobat X.

I have a number of fields in a form that are used in a variety of calculations. It is the nature of these fields they should contain whole numbers only, no decimals.

On the "Format" tab, I set the format of the field 'Number' and the number of decimal places to '0 '.

On the tab 'Validate', I put 'field value is in Range' ' of 0 "," 999 ".

It is to ensure that the field can contain a maximum of a three-digit number.

But this still allows the user to enter decimals. This messes up my calculations, so I want to limit the user input to whole numbers.

How do I do that?

Thank you!

Steve

It is not on the validation tab, but the Format tab. You must select a Format of the custom type. In fact, you can set the function code and the call to the function in the key code window and it will work for this field. If you can add the function as a JavaScript code at the level of the document, it will be available for use by other similar fields as well.

I'll try to confirm how to add a function at the level of the document in Acrobat 10...  If anyone knows it, please chime.

    I created a form that uses the JavaScript for the auto tab. Is it possible for me to format the fields to accept only numbers?

    As you can see all my custom fields list as just that, custom.

    When a patient fills this out it is difficult to say what it applies to that.

    How do I change these fields that say "customized" to say what really is the field?

    Hello

    It appears that you have disabled the 'label' for each custom field.

    Please select the field and go voluntarily, as shown in the screenshot.

    Please check the 'label' > shoe, this will be you the label to the form field as "Custom", rename it according to your requirement and disable the label again.

    Re-upload the site and you should be all set.

  • How to make dynamic form fields updated?

    This is going to be an ugly post, just be careful! :)

    I have a form that retrieves his labels and text input field names dynamically from a database. Rather than having the form hardcoded, we are able to add new columns to a table and the form automatically adds the new labels and fields via CFQUERY.

    When the form is completed and submitted (post method), the database is supposed to be updated. However, because our names of input fields are populated through query, we can not write a query to update static when we add new elements of form.

    So, I have a solution to this (in my head), but I'm stuck in a bit of logic and can't get it in the code. I'm looking for a way to write FORM #. # fieldname # (here is where it gets ugly). Because the form sent by the post method, I find myself with a bunch of FORM.fieldname on my action page (and fieldname is generic for what are real variables).

    So here's how I am update:
    I have a table (let's call it table1) that contains a column of all the column names in the data table (table2). This table is used for query purposes only, no data is updated here of the form.
    I have a table1 request to call all the column names in table2.
    < cquery datasource = "exdb" name = "exname" >
    SELECT ColumnName
    FROM table1
    < / cfquery >
    Then I write the update query that will update the elements they are loop using CFOUTPUT:
    < CFOUTPUT QUERY = "exname" >
    < cfquery datasource = "exdb" name = "exupdate" >
    UPDATE table2
    SET #columnName # = #FORM. < columnName > #.
    WHERE itemID = #FORM.itemID #.

    It's my dilemma. As you can see, the cfoutput is a loop... So we will take the first element in the loop, call him 'name1 '. So our query update said SET name1 = #FORM.name1 #, and it will update the table with what was presented in the entry for name1 field. The cfoutput to loop again, this time it's of name2. SET name2 = #FORM.name2 #. Now, the form includes a hidden itemID to specify where the table should be updated, as you can see above. So, now that you see how it works, my problem is to get #FORM. < columnName > # FORM.name1, FORM.name2, etc.
    In Coldfusion, you would write #FORM.variable # to call a FORM element. However, given that the variable is not defined, and allows us to fill a request, we make SHAPE #. #variable # where #variable # must be resolved before #FORM. ___ #

    You are with me on this? This is very complex in the explanation, but if you need more information, I can provide more clearly. I would like to know what you think. Really, I have the solution, but to FORM #. # columnName # to solve is another problem. I think what I need is to understand the order of operations for this statement, so #columnName # resolves first.

    You'll want to use the scope structure notation when dealing with your form variables. The Form.SomeVar variable can also be written as ['SomeVar']. Using this syntax, you can do something like this:

    UPDATE table2
    SET #columnName # = #FORM [columnName] #.
    WHERE itemID = #FORM.itemID #.

    You can also look on the following to help optimize your code:
    (1) learn how to use - it could speed up your code a bit.
    (2) according to the DB that you use, you may be able to combine all of your UPDATE within 1 SQL commands block. This will allow to do all your actions with 1 DB connection database, instead of a bunch (works in MSSQL, Oracle or MySQL, not sure)

  • How to make a text field to accept a capital letter has or a number in the position of the first character and only the numbers after that?

    Hi all

    We have a text field in one of our screen in our mobile app. Currently the user can enter alpha numeric characters in this text field.

    It is now that this field should accept a capital letter A or a number in the position of the first character and only the numbers after that.

    Could someone let us know how to do this?

    Thank you.

  • How to edit PDF form fields after registration

    I am very new for PDF forms and thought I was getting better.  I'm create forms of Word documents and need to make frequent changes to the PDF form after that I have recorded because I'm still learning.  I thought I read somewhere that you should be able to change the properties of a field after saving a copy, but that did not work.  I forgot to uncheck "Ahmed multi field" and the need to set in my text boxes but I can't change.  I continue to recreate the formula over and over again on the Word doc.

    Hi Ally1286,

    Save a copy, it is required to change the form when you have distributed the form or registered as a Reader extended PDF. In this case, if you want to add scrolling functionality to a tool to "Prepare the form" field then go in (in DC) to the title of the Toolbox on the right.

    On this screen, select the file and click Start. Double-click on the field and go to the 'Options' tab check the appropriate box.

    Let me know if it works for you.

  • How can I put form fields to the front or the back?

    I have a document with several form fields/buttons to create effects of pup - up in a chart of information.

    So I use the fields to create a hot spot of mouse and others which appear. Now, of course, the hotspot must be at the front (or), otherwise it gets distracted in its function of overview by the object burst into place (picture) who throws on it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you hover over the hot spot.)

    Now what should I do the fields? ICH can organize pictures and texts to come forward or to hide behind other objects. But in the field in form editing mode, there is no option. Also, it does not work to just cut and paste, they reappear in their former posts, often behind the other fields.

    Help, please! Thanks, Peder

    The tab order effectively sets the agenda, but if a field is not dead it will be set forward if it receives focus.

  • How to set all THE fields in Acroform ReadOnly

    Hello, I am looking for a way to set all the fields in a read-only 2 pages acrofrom.  I understand that this is possible through the use of a digital signature, but I rather not go that route for specific reasons. In addition, I understand defining access to individual fields can be achieved as follows:

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

    f.ReadOnly = true;

    Is there a way to specify an entire page or all pages in a doc? Something like:

    var f = this.getField ("Page1");

    f.ReadOnly = true;

    or

    var f = this.getField (All);

    f.ReadOnly = true;
