• HFM - inserting rows data form

  Is it possible to easily insert a line when you create a data form in HFM? While I've built simple data forms, my first attempt at building a data with several separate lines form was painful because I can't understand how to insert a line in the middle of the other lines.
  
  The only faster alternative, that I found was to change the numbers on the "Script" tab, but who also gets inefficient when I need to add a line to the top of a data line 100 form.
  
  I would appreciate any advice on how to create forms of data more effectively.
  
  Thank you!

  One might think that there is a better way, right? Nope...

  I put together a quick and dirty excel file to renumber the lines / columns in the view script...

  #1-open the form in the editor
  #2-go into Script mode
  #3-jump to the right place in the file and insert rows or columns (NOTE: when you add the row or the column give a number such as C1 or R1.) It should not be a correct number, there must be a number so that my macro excel recognizes the renumbering...)
  #4-copy / paste the script into the Excel file in the data column of the Original form
  #5-copy / paste the column "Becomes the Output" in the script of the web form box in HFM.

  NOTE: I didn't feel bored enough to fix the substitution line and column numbers! If you add lines between a range that you override in forms, you will need to adapt them accordingly.

• Insert automatic date - update of a field of auto date fields in an inDesign document.

  I just fell on a period of silly. I edited a document that has a "State" and I missed the update to the status date. So I need to go back and change a second time just to update the stupid date.

  I was wondering if there is no possibility to set that date automatically. The search in the help files, I found only auto page numbers (but also I was missing the 'total number of pages' tag).

  FYI: I use CS5.0 (ID 7.0.4).

  Lucien.

  You must use a text variable. You can create one by choosing Type > text Variables > define. Use Type > text Variables > insert Variables to place the marker in a block of text.

  How can I stop Acrobat XI automatically creating form fields interactive when I convert a document existing (pdf) form.  I know that I can delete them manually, but I convert custom documents several times a day and I want to eliminate extra steps to remove fields that I don't need.

• Hidden form fields - Landing Page Data Capture

  I'm trying to use 1 generic form on all landing pages we create for Webinar sign.  in order for me to pass the correct form by webinar data via the form of treatment to the module of the event concerned, I need to have a hidden field that contains the identifier of unique landing page.  What would it be?  If that's the name of the destination page, then what is the real call tag and how that I insert in the hidden field?

  the objective here is to have: 1 generic form used in webinar multiple landing pages that transmits data through several modules of the discipline concerned for each webinar.  See below for a brief scheme.

  Thank you!

  DOM

  

  Quick question - is the landing page for each webinar on a canvas of separate campaign? If so, you can use the URL that contains the elqcampaignid to delimit the module in which Webinar to send it to. You simply need to add as a hidden field on the form, and then add the code to extract the value of the URL. You can find instructions and the code here: How to capture Sources referring to the Landing Pages and forms using query strings

  

  If they are not on separate canvases, you can use the same method as above, but it would just come with your own query string parameter to add to the url. Example: http://www.url.com?webinar=A

  In the example above, you just have to then a hidden form field "webinar" and update the code to reflect this hidden field. The key he ensure that's connecting to these landing pages then have this added query string.

• Form field Acrobat that allows the user to the reader to browse and insert an image in a pre-defined area

  Is there a way to insert a form field in an AcroForm which allow users of Reader to browse and insert an image in this form field?

  I know that LiveCycle can do, but I need to do using an AcroForm. Or maybe there is a third party plug-in that can be used in an AcroForm to do this?

  No, you don't need 11 Acrobat to create a form that uses this method, but your Reader users will have to upgrade. I don't see that they have yet to announce the date output to drive, but in the past, it was usually in about a month of the announcement.

• Insert the date and the current time in a form

  Feeling stupid here, but I can't seem to find a way to insert form fields that display the date and time of the currnet, I see where it is possible for a digital signature, but not what I need. It is a sign of customer in the worksheet. I want to know what date and time, the form is printed, without having to manually enter this data. Thank you.

• Automatic scrolling of text possible in combination with the text form field

  Hello

  We would like to know if it is possible to align the text automatically with a form field that can contain different amounts of characters.

  For example:

  We have a form with a text field for currency at the end of a paragraph of text. The period to mark the end of the sentence should always be printed just behind the currency field. For now, the comma character has a fixed place, just outside the scope of the currency field. It doesn't look good when the currency field contains only 2 characters (due to the white space).

  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you.

  It is only possible if the time text is also part of a text field, preferably the same one. You can use a format or script validation to automatically add this custom text to text from the user, assuming that it is a fixed value or you can know in advance. If it is a value entered by the user, then it becomes almost impossible to do it gently.

• Auto form field change color/data from pronounce on another page

  

  Hello!

  I recently got help on the forums and was able to write javascript to change the form fill and border based on an entry of individuals (thanks!).  I am now to experience the problems that I continue to work on this document.  I drew a picture that illustrates 3 different results, its located above.  To explain what I need, here is how the form is supposed to work:

  1. a user enters the State of equipment on page 2, I make sure that only AAA, BBB, CCC or s/o became acceptable.  Each value changes the field of form as shown above and n/d is no change on the ground at all.

  2. based on the user to page 2 input, I'm trying to get a form field only read to a "general status" page to change the color and change its value based on these entries.

  The three columns above show the 3 possible outcomes of the general State of page 1, that is to say:

  1: date of AAA [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user entries are AAA (n/a which is not taken into account))

  2: date of BBB [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (user input contained one or more of the values BBB or CCC)

  3: date of CCC [BACKSPACE] page 2 Date1 field. (all user input were CCC)

  I do this train to work and don't have adobe Adobe Acrobat XI worm: 11.0.13 at home.  Thanks for the help and if my description or photo is confusing, let me know and I can try to explain it differently.  Each column is a document, the document possible self doesn't have a 3 columns.

  J

  Let's see if I understand:

  1. the user enters 'AAA', and the color of the background/outline field turns green.

  2. the user enters "BBB", and the color of the background/outline field turn yellow.

  3. the user enters "CCC", and the color of the background/outline field turns red.

  4. the user enters "S/o", and the default color (it looks like teal) will be used

  4. If all the entries on page 2 are of the same color or the value "N/a", this color will be used for the field page 1

  5. If all the entries on page 2 are not the same color or the 'N/a', 'yellow' color value will be used for the field page 1

  Describes the behavior of the form?

  I would use a document level function to manage both the validation of the seizure and the choice of colors. The first part of the function (validation) is quite simple. The second part (setting the current color of field) is something that you already know how to do it. The third part, determine the color of a field of the general State is a little more complicated. I would like to look at all the fields that are not current on the ground - loop - (because you can just make a call to Doc.getField ()), then take the current information in the field of the event object in the validation script and determine what should be the status of the output (and then set the color accordingly).

  Something like this should work:

  function ValidateStatus() {
      // is the data entered either "AAA", "BBB", "CCC", or "N/A"?
      if (event.value == "AAA") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.green;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.green;
      } else if (event.value == "BBB") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.yellow;
      } else if (event.value == "CCC") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.red;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.red;
      } else if (event.value == "N/A" || event.value == "") {
          event.target.fillColor = color.cyan;
          event.target.strokeColor = color.cyan;
      } else {
          event.rc = false;
          app.alert("Only the values 'AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', or 'N/A' are allowed");
          return;
      }
  
      // set the field on page 1
      var fields = ["Status1", "Status2", "Status3", "Status4"];
      var theStatus = "N/A";
      for (var i in fields) {
          var v;
          if (fields[i] != event.target.name) {
              v = this.getField(fields[i]).value;
          }
          else {
              v = event.value;
          }
          if (v == "N/A" || v == "") {
              continue;
          }
          else if (theStatus == "N/A") {
              theStatus = v;
          }
          else if (theStatus != v) {
              theStatus = "BBB";
          }
      }
      var msg = theStatus + "\n" + this.getField("Date1").value;
      var theColor;
      if (theStatus == "CCC") {
          theColor = color.red
      } else if (theStatus == "BBB") {
          theColor = color.yellow;
      } else if (theStatus == "AAA") {
          theColor = color.green;
      } else {
          theColor = color.cyan;
      }
      var f = this.getField("OverallStatus");
      f.value = msg;
      f.fillColor = f.strokeColor = theColor;
  }
  

  You then call it in four areas as a custom validation script:

  ValidateStatus(event);
  

• Export form field data to Excel.

  I sent a few hundred contracts to sign.  I would now like to export form field data that have been collected in an excel file.  Any ideas?  Thank you

  Hello Juanm70734078,

  Did you send these documents using a library template? If Yes, then you can export a CSV file by going to the tab manage and unique model of library by clicking on the right, and click on the history tab and click Export data.

  Otherwise, you can go to each document signed on the tab manage and click the icon of the CSV file in front of each document respectively.

  Kind regards

• The data record form field to sql server database. Point me in the right direction

  I have Acrobat XI Pro and you have downloaded the SDK of XI.   At my first form savable.  My goal is to store the data in PDF form fields in a database.

  Can someone point me in the right direction.  I used to do 7-8 years ago, but it seems that the technology has changed and therefore the tools.  Thank you.
  

  PDF forms are submitted to a URL, still something that HTML forms are subject to a URL. It is an action that put you on a button.

  With HTML forms, you can only apply to HTML. You can also do with the PDF and the back-end can be quite similar except that you not return HTML, because the reader do not understand.

  However, it is normal to choose one of the other formats of FDF or XFDF. These are the same as the formats that you can export as part of the management of the form, and you should get comfortable with before submitting form data export/import.

  There are libraries in order to analyze the FDF. XFDF is XML, if use you standard XML analysis techniques. In a new application, go with XFDF.
