• How to change the color of form fields

  I don't know how to change the color of form fields. They default to gray, but I don't know how to make a different color.

  Gray does not match the color scheme of my landing page!

  Thank you!

  I think you have two options when you are working on a landing page with an embedded format:

  • You can change the background color of the entire form field set by selecting the shape, and then clicking on the Toolbox. In the window that opens go to the second (on a paint brush icon) and select the background color you want.
  • You can change the background color of the actual fields in the form by adding CSS styles. Select the Toolbox, go to the last tab (Tools Extract page) and in the middle of this window, you will see "head | CSS | JS"- select this average CSS tab and enter the style code to get the color you want. Here is an example of code you can put in it. Note that #000000 is the color code for black. Here is more information about the code: css - background in the input fields and text color? - stack overflow

• Cannot select text in the file Acrobat DC

  The old Acrobat had a hand picker icon and text that I could use to pan the page of the document or selection of text in the page.

  Now, how can I select text, since I do not see the text Selector icon in the toolbar and I currently my cursor 'stuck' on a dynamic zoom slider I've previously selected and now can't get rid of.

  
  

  I don't want to go into "Edit" mode I just select text non-edit mode.

  Help, please. I am very frustracted with the toolbar being changed to useless tools.

  MC

  Hi MChampa-

  You don't need to add anything to the toolbar as it exists already. Make sure your program window is wide enough to see the tools. You have the Pan tool and the text tool on the toolbar of controls on the Page, shown here as a floating toolbar.

  

  You must move your cursor to the bottom of the document window in order to see the controls on the Page if they are floating. If you prefer, you can anchor the with the toolbars at the top of the page by clicking on the icon to the right indicating the arrow upward. The two icons on the left are the ones you describe, I believe.

• Rental menu bar dropdown displays is more suggested url text, only the favicons

  The drop down menu no longer appears visible text of the bookmark or visit history. Display the favicons and field background changes color on mouse / sensitive and blind clik (based on the favicon) will launch the site.

  Could be a setting somewhere jumped the track and set the display of text on background of the field.

  This problem may be caused by an extension (Delicious) that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

• Get the names and form field values

  Hi everyone please help me

  I tried the following code, but it returns me the result as ("found no fields")

  I'm not able to reach my pdf here, I tried with a method more evenly, always it returns nothing.

  When I went through the Forum, I heard about LiveCycle Form. If my pdf is Livecycle form based so please give me the code to reterive the form fields names and values,

  method 1:

  ' / / Let's start

  Set WshShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
  WshShell.run "c:\F4.pdf Acrobat.exe.
  While not WshShell.AppActivate ("Adobe Acrobat"): 1000 Wscript.Sleep: Wend

  
  ' / / Set/Get Acrobat objects
  The App value = CreateObject ("AcroExch.App")
  Set AVDoc = App.GetActiveDoc
  Set PDDoc = AVDoc.GetPDDoc
  Define the JSO = PDDoc.GetJSObject

  ' / / Search fields and extract the Name value +.
  txt = «»
  If jso.numFields then
  for i = 0 to jso.numFields-1
  FN = jso.getNthFieldName (i)
  ' msgbox (x)
  the value of f = jso.getField (fn)
  F.value = FV
  txt = txt & fn & "=" & fv & ";"
  next
  MsgBox (txt)
  on the other
  MsgBox ("no fields found")
  end if

  Set AVDOC = Nothing
  Set PDDoc = Nothing
  Define the JSO = Nothing

  Method2:

  MyFile = "C:\output.pdf".
  Set AcroExchApp = CreateObject ("AcroExch.App")
  Set AcExAVDoc = CreateObject ("AcroExch.AVDoc")
  bOK = AcExAVDoc.Open (myFile, "")
  AcExAVDoc.BringToFront

  sMsg = «»

  If (bOK) then
  Set AFormAut = CreateObject ("AFormAut.App")
  
  If AFormAut.Fields.Count = 0 Then
  sMsg = "No there there no field (s) to read this PDF file"
  On the other
  sMsg = "There are" & AFormAut.Fields.Count & "fields in this PDF document.
  End If
  

  
  For every FormField in AFormAut.Fields
  FieldName = FormField.Name
  FieldValue = FormField.Value
  ' MsgBox AFormAut.Fields (Fieldname). Value
  sMsg = sMsg & vbLf & "," & Fieldname & "," & AFormAut.Fields (Fieldname). Value & "," & FormField.IsTerminal
  MsgBox SMsg

  Looks like there is no form field.

  Could you please tell me, how we can attach files in this forum. While I will attach my Pdf file

  You can put the file on acrobat.com ( https://acrobat.com/ ).

• See all text both in a scrolling form field.

  Is this possible? I created a form field that allows scrolling of text. Is it possible for a person to move their mouse over the field on this form, and something like a pop box would be showing all the exactly? In this way, they would not have to scroll the field to read what they typed.

  Try adding the custom according to the text field validation script:

  Script for a custom text to validate field

  event.target.userName = event.value;

  This sets the ToolTip text of the value of the field.

• How to connect to an Oracle database using acrobat form field java script actions

  I have a PDF template with buttons and form fields. One requirement is that when a key is pressed, I want to connect to an Oracle database to change the data of the table inside the DB.

  I wrote "Mouse Up" event and set a Java script to run on this event. Java script I am trying to connect to the DB and Transact on the DB.

  Any ideas how to achieve this.

  Thank you.

  Assuming you are using Acrobat (or reader) XI or newer, it is no longer possible.

  There used to be a way to connect to a PDF file using a script and ADBC, a DB defined locally, but Adobe removed in favour of this option progressively and now it is completely obsolete.

  The only type of PDF files that can still do are those created using LiveCycle Designer.

• 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.

• Change the values of the selection-based form field?

  Hi all

  I'm working on a schedule based on a school I'm having a hard time, my brain around programming package.  My DB table has 3 columns - ApptDate ApptTime, ApptSlots.  Most of the ApptDates are listed more than once because there is more than one time for a date.  See example below:

  ApptDate	ApptTime	ApptSlots
  09/09/2014	15:00	2
  09/09/2014	15:30	2
  09/09/2014	16:00	2

  The page queries this table for all data.  Then, there is a query of this query that selects the different dates and returns them in a drop - the first step of a user to choose their appointment.  The form field depending on whether I'll have is a drop down for time.  What I want to happen is based on the date of the user's selection, the corresponding time will appear in the drop-down time, as long as ApptSlots gt 0.  Before the user selects a date, I want the time drop down to be hidden or disabled.

  Is this possible or am I dreaming?

  Thanks for the help!

  Great explanation. Your explanation is simple, just so proceed and code as you say. No complication, not even AJAX, nothing. Wrapping your brain around it, makes it appear more difficult than it is.

  I'll give you some tips to help you get started. First of all, what you call a database table is not really one. Add an extra column in the table, a primary key. For example, apptID, integer type, 1, 2, 3,..., etc., which gives each appointment a unique ID.

  Then continue like this:

  / * select distinct apptDate as availableDate * /.

    

  Select the Date of appointment

  some> #availableDate #.

  
  

  / * Select apptTime as availableTime where apptDate = ' #session.selectedDate # ' * /.

  Select appointment time

  #availableTime #.

  
  

• Do not update the values after the registration of form fields

  OK, so I'm building a character auto fill timesheet system using shape. Everything works as expected until I save, close and reload the document.

  I will try to explain the movement of what is supposed to happen, and then it ends by happens.

  Field B is equal to a particular value, depending on what is entered in the field a. field C is equal to the field b. field G totals fields c.-f..

  If I re - write this from scratch, it works as expected, even if I change the to field a different value (thereby changing all other fields to reflect the new data).

  Once I save the document, close and reopen, here's what happens.

  Field B is equal to a particular value, depending on what is entered in the field a. field C is equal to what was the B field before I closed the document. Field total field c.-f. G.

  Can I change A field change and field B to the value it is supposed to. However, field C will not change. Field G still totals the values as expected, including the c. field-stuck now

  Indeed, whatever it is equal to the B field after backup and reload remains at its value prior to the closing. I have a lot of fields equal to B but B alone gets its value based on the field A. I used both "value is the sum of:"and custom JavaScript, both which gives exactly the same results. "

  I use Acrobat Pro (trial) on Windows 7 x 64.

  In format PDF is the order in which the fields are calculated is not automatic, but can be set. If field C depends on the B field and field B is dependent on the land then must ensure that the order of calculation is A-B-C, or the values in calculated fields will be a step behind the value of a field when you update it.

  You can set this command in form editing mode, under the order of computation of Set field - other tasks.

  Hi Vikas

  Apex 4.2 see https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=69432:68

  Very old application, topic 10, upgrade to Version 4.2, theme 25.

  Abandoning the theme 10 Finally? Or maybe not, how it will ;-)

  See how the form fields overlap? Why is this? All fields are set to start in a new span of column, Col = 1, column = automatic, alignment of the label = above.

  The columns in the grid of the page are too narrow (72px) to account for the width of the items. Change the grid options in the page template to use less/more wide columns or change the attributes of the element for the items cover more than 1 column (put in page 2-column seems OK...)

• Using the information in form field for e-mail address in the mailto function

  Hello

  I encountered a problem for which I seem not to be able to find an answer, even after several hours spent browsing the web:

  Basically, I have created a form that I want to distribute to my customers who are supposed to use for their clients. This is to ensure that all processes are standardized.

  My client fills part of the form with their contact information, including their contact email address in a separate field. The end-user (client my client) fills in the rest of the form. After completing the form, the end user is supposed to then click on a button that needs to send the entire pdf form by e-mail.

  I know how to set an email address recipient using the mailto: int; However, as I have many clients that the form will be distributed in the first place, I can't determine before the target of the mailto: command. So I was wondering if it is possible to set the target of the mailto: function to use the information that my client is entered in the contact email address field, so that, once this particular form field is filled, the e-mail address is imported into the functionality of the button and ensuring that the button send is very individualized.

  I would have thought that it is possible, as it is possible, for example, to use a part of the form to appear as the body of the text of an email, but since I was still very much a beginner/amateur regarding all things javascript/php, I've no idea what should look like the script.

  All thought and all help would be greatly appreciated.

  Greetings and thank you very much.

  Yes #3 is the right one.. .the email real option contains the property that has the e-mail address specified in it... then the false e-mail button to change this property before you send it. In your case instead of reference the DDlsi field, you must reference your field that contains the e-mail address.

  Make sense?

  If you're not used to the code, it can look daunting... . If you want to send your form to [email protected] I can code upwards for you so that you can see in your context.

• We can the child resource form field map table to child form process?

  Hello
  
  Can map the child field to the resource form table to process child table field?
  
  Tab in the process definition data flow, I tried to map the field of resource child form tabel with th treat the child form field table... but there is no available for this option.
  
  However, add a data flow Table mapping we can match child table resource to the child shape process table but that doesn't sovles my problem.
  
  Please provide any pointer

  Once you map the table, you right-click in the table and map fields from the child. According to me, this is how it works, or select the table mapping and click Add field. One way or another, you need to add the first table, and then the field.
