Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

I was not able to start my reading on writing scripts or other features of livecycle to try to understand this, but I was wondering if anyone else had already created a form with this feature or had any ideas on how it would be possible.  Currently, our company uses and Excel form that have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled and we it would be replaced with a form of adobe.  I would like to know if users who will use the new form in adobe reader adobe, might have the ability to imort lines of the previous form of excel in the new version of adobe.

Hello

You can configure a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However, for the data connection caring for users of Reader, you need to activate Reader with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component) form. See here for the summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.

However, if you just try to get existing data into shape, you should have a look at some of the posts by Stefan Cameron: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form by using the wizzard and select import into Excel. This will allow you to paste your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help to put in place the structure/data schema, which you can then reproduce in a new form. I've not done this before, but it should be possible.

Hope that helps,

Niall

  • Any way to create a form that allows users to create profiles that can be read by other users?

    I'm working on a social media site, and I want to give users the ability to create simple patterns that can be read by other users. Is there a way I can do that in Muse CC? All Web sites good resource with the code I can integrate?

    Muse form widgets can only send form data to an address specified for the accommodation of non - BC at the moment. British Colombia with some plan of webCommerce and above, this should be possible with the help of webApps however, which is an advanced topic and would require some knowledge of the CMS and HTML to implement http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/web-apps.html>.

    Also this is not possible with Muse on its own as Muse static outputs pages only and what you are looking for requires backend technology to work (that BC offers).

  • Need to create the form that the user can fill out and SAVE Reader

    Hello

    My form, of course, works fine in Adobe Acrobat 4 CS4, is sunk when typed in with Acrobat Reader. It says at the top:

    "Please complete the following form. You cannot save data typed into the form. Please print your form if you would like a copy for your records. »

    * I know it's possible * to make it writable / recordable for users of readers, because I have a form that someone else created and in Reader the message says: "Please complete the following form. You can save the data entered in the form. »

    What setting do I change in Acrobat to make recordable in Reader? Document attached.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Is it possible to build a form that a user of Acrobat complete and only send a part of external form?

    Thanks in advance for helping me!

    Hi Matthias,

    Password, you can protect the form in the designer of the LC. This means that a person opening the form in the designer of the LC will need the password, but users opening the form in Acrobat will not have the password.

    Check the permissions (green) password. If you check the (red) from the top, then the user with Acrobat/Reader will also require the password.

    This goes someway to protect the form, but it is not completely safe. Someone with a little know-how and tools can potentially ignore this.

    With the second option, the user always sees the PDF and buttons can show/hide sections. However what is back is just the data in XML format. You must then re-import this XML data in the form to see.

    Just a point in what concerns the script. It seems that you have an object or a subform called "hidden". I wouldn't recommend this as 'hidden' can be a reserved word and Acrobat can get confused. Something like "hiddenSF" or similar is preferred. So if you use the first option (which is preferable), all objects could be attributed to a normal/name of the object binding > binding tab and you have script before the submission script:

    if (myField.rawValue == 1)
    {
         hiddenSF.presence = "hidden";
    }
    

    Good luck

  • Is it possible to create a form with text boxes of "adjustment" to the participants to answer the questions?

    Hi landon39843319,

    You can have fields flowing / more dynamic in a PDF of LiveCycle Designer form, but not in an AcroForm (only created in Acrobat).  LiveCycle Designer is a program completely separated used for are delivered with each purchase Acrobat Acrobat XI has been release.  Now you must buy separately.  But LiveCycle Designer PDF forms are wrapped in a shell of PDF so that they will be displayed and can be filled in the free Acrobat Reader DC and earlier versions.

    If you do this in Acrobat with an AcroForm, you have as much information typed into a field that the user wants, but he's going to show everything on the screen.  Displays only the text that fits into the field, then a + sign will appear in the field to indicate that there is more text in this field, you can scroll down to read.  You can also set the automatic font size so that as more text is entered in the police becoming smaller and smaller to adjust the text, but that is usually not desirable for many forms.

    Hope this helps,

  • Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Hello!!!

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it? I mean how to program a folder so that everything that he would automatically become hidden? I would be very grateful...

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Yes. A sort of roundabout.

    For this example, create a folder on your C drive named HideTest.

    Download http://winsupport.org/utilities/freedos-choice.html Choice.Exe (click on the link to download the utility program near the bottom of the page. "And save it in the C:\HideTest folder).

    Open Notepad and then copy and paste the following text in it:

    Off @Echo

    : All
    Set FilesToHide = No.

    : GoToDir
    C:
    cd\HideTest

    : Top
    CLS
    IF FilesToHide %! Is Yes! Attrib *. * + H

    : Choice
    Choice.Exe /c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide
    If ErrorLevel 2 Goto: exit

    : MakeList
    Dir > TempList.Txt

    : CheckFiles
    Set FilesToHide = No.
    Find.Exe "0 file (s)' TempList.Txt
    If ErrorLevel 1 Set FilesToHide = Yes
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt

    : Loop
    Goto: Top

    : Output
    Set FilesToHide =
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt
    Output

    Click on file, then save under...

    Go to C:\HideTest

    Name the file Hide.Bat

    Click Save

    Close Notepad

    Open Windows Explorer

    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start where user_name is your own username.

    In the right pane, right click, select New, and then click shortcut.

    Click Browse, and then navigate to C:\HideTest and click on Hide.Bat, click Next.

    Type a new name or accept the default name and click Finish.

    Right-click on the newly created shortcut, and click Properties.

    Change the race: from the normal window to reduced.

    Click on apply, and then click Ok.

    Restart your computer.

    Note: In the line above Choice.Exe c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide, 30 is the number of seconds it will wait before checking the new files. This can be from 1 to 99.

    Edit: Just to satisfy my curiosity, why do you do this?

  • 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

    Thank you

    Jennifer Rash

    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

  • 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'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.
