Is it possible to create interactive drop-down lists that reference the tables on pages separate from the PDF?

I'm looking to create a user to input PDF in the drop-down lists are used to search for tables, however, I'm not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible?  Also, is it possible to write a substantive code that could read the text of the user entered to perform a search or even solve an equation? Can someone let me know if these elements are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be required to accomplish these tasks? Thank you!

PDF documents have no concept of "tables" as MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.

Acrobat JavaScript knows tables and form fields. So we could have a table in JavaScript and complete a series of fields that looks like a table. You can use JavaScript to find the table.

JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user entries in the fields and pop-up windows.

It is possible to solve theoretical equations the user if the good rating or coding is used.

D.P. Story is an evangelist generated LaTex PDF to create PDFS with mathematical symbols, and he also created the AcroTex product that allows to create educational tools that includes mathematics calculation self placement tests.

  • Problem with drop-down list that prevents the use of the functions, will not go away.

    Hello

    I have Windows 7.  I could not afford MS Office, so I downloaded OpenOffice and, later, LibreOffice.  My problem is, when I open a document to write in a program, a drop-down list (formatting) is displayed.  It starts with "Default" at the top.  The box does not work, if I click on anything that it just flashes.  Or it will disappear.  I tried everything I can think of to get rid of him.  And, as long as it's here, I can't write to a document.  I can close, but only by closing the program.

    Is this problem only with free Office programs.  Sometimes when I am looking for a program in Windows 7, or if I'm looking for the Help menu in 7.

    I'm not very savvy computer.  If you would be interested to help me, thank you very much, but please don't expect me to know some thing on anything whatsoever.  I used to use the mode BACK back in the day, but the subterrain of computers is a subject that I've lost contact with long ago.

    You can also try to test with another Windows user, in case you have a corrupt user profile.

  • create a drop-down list

    It would be possible to create a drop-down list to the fields of an external database or excel file?

  • Is this possible? Subforms appeal based on the drop-down list associated with the database

    I'm hoping to make a dynamic shape and I wonder if it's possible.

    I have a database with about 300 entries - pieces of agricultural goods and a few little bits of info on each of these properties. I want to create a form where users can choose the piece there rather than the property in a drop-down list. Based on the property they select, another menu drop down to fill with the cultures associated with this property. Then based on the selection made in this drop-down list, a specific form will be brought upward.

    For example, a person selects property #102 in the drop-down list. In the database, property #102 is associated with wheat, barley and corn, so the next drop would be complete with these three cultures. The user selects the wheat in the drop-down list and the form of wheat would be called. 

    I hope I explained that well enough.

    Is this possible? And if it's possible, how complicated to do? Assuming that I already have the database and subforms, it would be a long process from weeks to the script, or it would be simple enough?

    Yes, this could be done, here is an example that should help: Drop dependent dropdown (specimen attached)

    On the basis of selection (change event of the second menu drop-down), you can show or hide a subform.

  • Check generate some Comp based on the drop-down list box and the selection list?

    I currently have a dropdown list with the three sizing options in it. Then I have two check boxes, one is ticked ideally would create the model to its normal size composition and if other is checked that it would reverse the widthxheight in the size of the composition. Then below that I have a "Generate" button, I want to be able to click and according to my selections, it creates the model.

    Looks like I need a kind of if then statement, but I'm having a hard time putting the two together. See below what I have so far.

    There may be missing parts, but I have it all working in a decibel pallate currently. I don't have functionality related to a button again.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    (also I don't know how to format the script spread here so apologies for that)

    ---------------------------

    palette controls

    templateGen.VerticalCheckbox = new Object();

    templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox = new Object();

    set the values for controls

    templateGen.comLookup = new Object();

    templateGen.compLookup = 'Template1 ';

    templateGen.compLookup = "Template2";

    templateGen.compLookup = "Template3."

    function templateGen_getHashValues (hash)

    { // {{{

    var ary = new Array();

    for (k hash) {}

    ARY.push (Hash [k]);

    }

    return area;

    } // }}}

    menu "composition".

    var panelGrp1 = templateGen.palette.add ('Panel', undefined, 'Templates Comp');

    compGrp1 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'List templates');

    compGrp2 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'Orientation');

    compGrp3 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'Generate');

    templateGen.compList = compGrp1.add ('dropdownlist', LIST_DIMENSIONS, templateGen_getHashValues (bapple.compLookup));

    templateGen.compList.helpTip = "choose the type of desired here device model. All compositions are 60 fps. « ;

    templateGen.compList.selection = 'Template1 ';

    templateGen.compList.graphics.foregroundColor = darkColorBrush;

    templateGen.VerticalCheckbox = compGrp2.add ('checkbox', undefined, 'Portrait');

    templateGen.VerticalCheckbox .value = true;

    templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox = compGrp2.add ('checkbox', undefined, 'Horizontal');

    templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox .value = false;

    templateGen.generateBtn1 = compGrp3.add ('button', undefined, 'Generate');

    applyBtn.onClick =? ;

    When I work with drop-down menus, I always liked to tie the data they represent (like the width and height of the model in this case) directly to the elements.

    I run the code to really check, but it should work like this:

    -----------------

    Add models to your drop-down list and store the items in a table

    models var = [];

    models [0] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template1');

    models [1] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template2');

    models [2] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template3');

    set a width and height of each element

    models [0] .width = 1280;

    models [0] .height = 720;

    models [1] .width = 1024;

    models [1] .height = 768;

    models [2] .width = 1920;

    models [2] .height = 1080;

    Choose the item that should be selected by default

    models [0] .selected = true;

    applyBtn.onClick = function() {}

    read the width and height of the selected item

    var width = templateGen.compList.selection.width;

    var height = templateGen.compList.selection.height;

    {if (templateGen.VerticalCheckbox.value)}

    swap width and height

    var temp = width;

    width = height;

    height = temp;

    }

    now create your comp here with the given width and height

    }

  • Value of the drop-down list instead of the text

    I want a drop-down list that includes complete definitions for the user to watch but when they choose the item they want only the abbreviation indicating on the form. For example, in my items list is said 'Illinois', but when they select "Illinois" she fills the field with the bind value of 'IT '. Is this possible?

    See the attached file... If it helps...

    I place a TextField on the top of the drop-down list and setting the rawValue selected the TextField... In the case of exit of the combo I hide list drop-down and display of the textfield object. Similarly, in the event you enter in the text field, I am displaying the drop-down list field and hide the text field.

    This way I can show 'IT' If you choose "Illinois" in the menu dropdown.

  • Drop-down list always displays the first value? How can I empty place

    I have several drop down from the fields list. An example would be the city. It allows a user to select a city. I want the form to be completely empty to start. Currently, when the form is initially pulled up, it shows the first value in the list. All my drop-down list fields exhibit the same behavior. Is it possible to be just empty instead?

    You can send the form to [email protected] and I'll take a look to see what is happening?

  • Display the export value of the drop-down list instead of the element

    I'm showing the value to the export of a drop-down list instead of the selected option or the user selects BLACK, but the value of exports of BLK is actually displayed.  I can find many discussions on how to get the value of the exports and display it or use it to trigger another answer in another area and I can usually tweak my existing JavaScripts when I need something new, but I just can't wrap my head around this!

    This is my last attempt (failed)

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

    If (event.value is 'Black - BLK')

    f.Value = "BLK".

    I use Acrobat PRO DC.

    Any help is appreciated,

    Thank you

    I've been doing this for a long time and have never heard of anyone who wants something like this, so it is interesting. Remove your current script and try the following script Format customized drop eyes:

    Custom drop-down list Format script

    Event.Value = event.target.getItemAt (event.target.currentValueIndices, true);

    This defines what is displayed in the drop-down list in the value of exports of the selected item. Select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' option to the drop-down list for smoother operation.

  • We can create a drop-down list as variable?

    Hi all

    Can we create ComboBox with variable texts. I'm trying to do, but locked. my code is

    myTable var = myText.convertToTable ();

    var myRowCount = myTable [0].rows.count ();

    var e = "";

    for (i = 0; i < = myRowCount-1; i ++) {}

    e = "\""+myTable[0].rows[i].contents+"\","+ e;

    }

    var s = "[" + try () + "]";

    alert (s);

    myDialog = app.dialogs.add var ({name: "Choose printer Preset"});

    with (myDialog.dialogColumns.add ()) {}

    staticTexts.add ({staticLabel: "Presets :"});})

    }

    with (myDialog.dialogColumns.add ()) {}

    var = dropdowns.add myList ({stringList: s, selectedIndex:1});})

    }

    var result = myDialog.show ();

    So I have create table with text, then give it to the drop-down list parameter, but I got the error message "invalid parameter."

    Any suggestion please.

  • Create a drop-down list object appears

    Hi guru,.

    We are facing a problem with our 10gR 3 Oracle WCI portal.

    We have several groups of community administrators in which administrators of the community will be added. These groups have rights activity like creating portlets, create the snapshot of search, etc. associated with them, allowing administrators to the community different create their own items to the community.

    It worked very well until somedays back, however we have noticed that now, if we add a person to one of these groups of administrators of community, the drop-down list CREATE an OBJECT does not appear under the Division of Administration for the administrators of the community.

    Please can someone help us with what we face serious flak from the directors of the community.

    on the top of my head check that the Group has rights to this folder. If they have no administrator rights on this admin folder they won't see the drop-down list of objects create... try and post a reply.
