PDF form: fill in the field with the value of another field
Hello
I have a PDF form that one of our employees has to be completed on a regular basis.
There is a 'product' - text field, which is present on the form several times, which will contain the same information.
From now on, my colleague has fill all these these one by one manually. But with the copy - paste, it doesn't take more than a few seconds.
However, to facilitate work a little, I want to it to be able to simply fill out one of the fields (can be a specific, must not be dynamic) and all the other 'product' - fields automatically takes the value of the field of this first.
How can I accomplish this?
I noted the possibility of JavaScript controls.
I am familiar with basic JavaScript, however never used it for PDF files.
Any help and pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
This isn't a problem with script. Just give each field of the same name. Once the field names are the same, a change in one will be to another. For some reason that it does not work with standard HTML forms, probably the reason why you ask.

Validation form column against the value of another Table
Hello
I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me a bit! I only have a small amount of writing PL/SQL experience, and I've never written Javascript or JQuery before. I am an Oracle DBA and I coding experience C and PERL, so I have a strong technical background. But I need some advice on the best way to approach a problem.
I have an application of data base in Oracle Apex (version 4.2) with a tabular form on a table: Let's say that #1 with the conditions of licence 1 a, 1 b, and1C. I have to make sure that the value entered in col B is not greater than the value of a column in another table (for example table #2 pass 2 (a). From a conceptual point of view, the amount of money available is in the #2 table, and my tabular form lines are an act of spending money (such as orders or invoices), so I have to make sure that we spend more that we have. Who is?
Does anyone have tips for the best way to do it? I'm figuring that the biggest problem here is perhaps to account for people who enter multiple lines in the form of tables at the same time, right? So, if a person is entered 3/invoices, I need a total to ensure that they do not have spend more than we have in the #2 table.
I really appreciate your help!
Best regards
Laurie Baublitz
Ah, I was not totally with you on this charge then. My validation works overall, but it totals the amount for each line, regardless of the task. Okay - who was not totally my solution but more a demonstration of the technique that you can use to validate your tabular presentation in this way.
You could solve this issue with a safe collection, or with a table plsql where you add an entry for each task name and keep the amount stored in there.
Anyway, it would be better for you to spend a little time on playback on the plsql collections or collections apex!
Remember, this is a sample and you will need to take stock of it. The best solutions are those where you need to experiment with 8)
DECLARE TYPE tt_taskamount IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(20); t_taskamount tt_taskamount; l_task VARCHAR2(20); l_amount NUMBER; l_max NUMBER; BEGIN -- F02 is the taskname -- F03 is the amount -- adapt to your situation! FOR i IN 1..apex_application.g_f02.count LOOP l_task := apex_application.g_f02(i); l_amount := apex_application.g_f03(i); IF NOT t_taskamount.exists(l_task) THEN t_taskamount(l_task) := l_amount; ELSE t_taskamount(l_task) := t_taskamount(l_task) + l_amount; END IF; -- it's not the best idea to perform a select each time and could be -- done better but for the sake of the example it's fine -- not too bad either if the rowcount is small. SELECT maxamount INTO l_max FROM table2 WHERE taskname = l_task; IF t_taskamount(l_task) > l_max THEN -- returning will stop further processing and throw an error message as soon as a budget has been overrun -- it might or might not be required behaviour but that's up to you RETURN 'The max amount ('||l_max||') for task ' || l_task ||' has been exceeded. Reduce the total amount on associated tasks!'; END IF; END LOOP; END;

I created a pdf form to a Word doc with the air police 9 pt formatted; the text on the pdf form is air 9 pt, but the fields are formatted in courier 12 pt - how can I reformat the police in the fields?
Edit the form fields so that they use Helvetica by 9 points. Do not set the Arial font. Acrobat/Reader will use a private version of Arial as a substitute for Helvetica. If you specify Arial, it will integrate the entire police (sometimes several times), makes that increase the file size unnecessarily.

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.

Cannot convert PDF form filled in Excel with data
Hi all
I've been struggling with the same problem for days now and any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
A quick overview: we have created a PDF form in order to assess the specific events of marketing that is provided to all of our stores. Once an event occurs, they will fill the form and send it to the HQs (me). It is from there begins the problem: I want to then convert the filled PDF in Excel (to compare the data of all events), who works in general, but excel does not include data from the PDF and displays only the data of non - fill PDF form.
The problem: I can convert my PDF with Acrobat Reader XI forms in Excel, but the data filled in the forms (which I want to see in Excel) are not included in Excel.
I work with the operating system Windows 7 Professional and the graphics department created the PDF form in InDesign CC 2015.
Thank you very much in advance and I hope that the info provided is sufficient.
Best,
Stefan
Not with Acrobat Reader. With Adobe Acrobat, you can export the form data or flatten the form fields before you convert the shape.

How can I create a PDF form that contains data fields and calculated fields?

-Calculated fields
what PDF forms product supports this? Once this file created is also filling end-user which form has any kind of special licenses, otherwise he will be able to fill this with Adobe Reader?
You need to expand the PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer if you want to be able to connect to a database.
And Yes, it should be possible to use the file in Adobe Reader after that.

How do I delete an article based on the value of another field
I have a pdf form that I added to the text fields. My challenge is that of the financial section of the form, if the value of a specific field is empty or null, I blank block of signature financial review. I've been trying to find a way to cover the area of signature with a white box or have a text box with signature block text appear or disappear depending on whether the value is zero or empty.If seen many answers on how to make the field itself disappear based on value, but I did find something that causes another field or shape appear or disappear depending on the value of another field.
Please try the following script,
var signid = true;
If (this.getField("finan").value! = 0) signid = true;
of another signid = false;
If (SignID) this.getField("signaturefield").display = display.visible;
else this.getField("signaturefield").display = display.hidden;
Please let me know if it solves the problem.

PDF forms: extraction of data fields using javascript
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me...
I have created a PDF form which, once the user fills out the fields, he or she will click on a button to send the form by e-mail to their Manager. Once the registration form is authorized by the Director, the Manager will be click on another button, which will forward the form to the original user. The user would have filled their email address in one of the fields in the form. Is it possible to extract data from the field e-mail address using javascript?
Thank you very much!
You would have to do something like this:
// Get the email addresses var email1 = getField("email1").valueAsString; var email2 = getField("email2").valueAsString; // Send the email try { mailDoc({ bUI: false, cTo: email_addr1 + ";" + email_addr2, cSubject: "The subject of the mail", cMsg: "The message body of the email" }); } catch(e) { app.alert("Could not send email, sorry.", 1); }
Note that the e-mail addresses must be separated by a semicolon, as shown. Also, affecting false bUI will only work if the code is run form a privileged context, as in a JavaScript file to the folder level.
If you want to hard-code one of the e-mail addresses, it would look like:
cTo: email_addr1 + ";[email protected]",

Toggle controls simple form based on the value of an element
Is it possible to toggle the controls on simple form based on the value of an element?
for example, if P21_stat = 1 5 controls behave as type "View as text (saves the State)", otherwise they must be of type "text field"?
No work around if not?Hi Alex,
Look at the definition of the article page, you will find a 'readonly' section where you can specify a condition that this point should be readonly (in all other cases, it is a normal entry point).

Deactivating a page element based on the value of another element on the page
Hello
I have a page element I want to turn off if the value of another article (drop-down list item) is set to a specific value. I followed the example in the book 'Pro Oracle APEX"(p.320) in this regard. He ordered me to do this in the HTML form element attributes for the element section:
OnChange = "htmldb_item_change (this); html_DisableOnValue (This, 'Closed', 'P3_PRIORITY', 'P3_ASSIGNED_TO'); »
It works very well. It disables the element I want to disable. HOWEVER, it does not neutralize the article unless the element with the onchange attribute is changed.
How can I add features to disable the second element, even if the first element does not change, but contains the value 'Closed' when the user of the first load of the page?
Thanks for your help and your insight!
-ReidHello Reid,
The easiest way would be to (also) a Condition only read the item that you want to disable.

Hello world
The task seems simple enough, but I have not found a way to populate an attribute transitional according to the value of another attribute when the line is queried. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thank you.
James
Use VORowImpl, if you have any transient attributes defined in the view object, whose value is derived from other attributes of the line, you can override the GET
method and add logic there Please note that this class represents a row in the results collection in a display object.
