• 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]",
  

• 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.

• PDF form: blocking of the fields before you send it by e-mail

  Hello!

  I have to scratch my head with this problem for a while: I have this form must be sent by email with some locked fields (read-only).

  What I do is affecting this BEFORE as I have the e-mail form:

  fieldName.access = "readOnly";

  app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs");
  

  However, the form always happens at destination with the field unlocked and ready for editing.

  Am I missing something?

  Thank you for all the ideas!

  Marcos

  
  

  Hi Marcos,

  Just check first that the changes script preserve is set to automatic.

  

  Then, make sure that the script has completely executed before e-mail script. It might help to put the script to access the mouseUp event that fires before the click event (containing the saveAs script).

  I then test this separate for the mail script and see it works on the local PC.

  Hope that helps,

• FORM - update from the field

  I use CFFORM to create a form, including a CFCALENDAR, the problem I have is that the first field that is a text field (name: FN) is not centered.

• Importing data from pdf forms

  Thank in advance anyone who can help me with this problem.

  I need to create a web application involving pdf forms. My need starts with customers downloading some pdf forms. Most of these pdf forms have a signature field (must be the handwritten signature). These forms must be hosted in the web application where users fill out forms. Some fields in these forms are pre-populated based on the end users of the information (from database). (And I know we can do this with iText as I already used). End users must complete the rest of the form and the Panel at the bottom (if they use a phone or Tablet).

  The challenge now is to get all of these data as well as the signature on the request (or at least the snapshot of the form).  Is where it miss me the point and hope that if you could help. So far, I tried a few tools and APIs (iText, pdf.js,...), but none of them are promising or satisfying the requirements.

  You have a tool or approach to achieve this?

• Highlight the fields as default for PDF forms

  Hi all

  I recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which are marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users first click "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is it possible to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?

  See you soon,.

  Put this in the Layout event: loan from the main form (default is form1 in the hierarchy):

  If (! app.runtimeHighlight) {}
  app.runtimeHighlight = true;
  }

• How can I import .pdf forms in RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without distorting the fields?

  When I try to import .pdf forms in RoboHelp 11, fields is blurred.

  Is there a way to get around this?

  Hello

  I would like to know what the goal is to import the PDF file? Normally we only do it if they wish, make the editable PDF content. And it usually is rare. Most of the time all you want is to present the PDF document. And in this case, it is easier to just add as a baggage file and link to it where it is needed.

  See you soon... Rick

• How to do an if then statement on a PDF form

  I'm doing an if then statement on a PDF form.

  The field is a field A * B = C.  If C < 10 then C = 10, of another C = A * B

  How can I write the Adobe Pro is on a PDF form?  I went into properties, the calculated field and nothing I've tried works.

  Each field is a separate object, so if you have 3 fields such as 'A', 'B' and 'C' are a single object has a unique value. Each field must be consulted individually, you should get the value in field "A" in a statement, the value of the field 'B' in another statement.

  var C = this.getField ('A') .value * this.getField("B").value;

  If (C)< 10="" )="" event.value="">

  else event.value = C;

  You can see more clearly with code like:

  var A = this.getField ('A') .value; the value of a field;

  var B = this.getField ('B') .value; the value of field B;

  var C = A * B; the field value has multiplied by the value of the field B;

  If (C)< 10="" )="">

  Event.Value = 10; the value is 10 when produced less than 10;

  } else {[]}

  Event.Value = C; another value is the product;

  }

• I want to extract information from the same input field in multipal PDFs (created using document pro) and export them to an excel file. Is this possible? If this isn't the case, Adobe seeks to make this project a reality.

  -Extract all data from a single file can be done via the tools - forms - more form Options - export data...

  -Extract some data from a single file will require a script to measure.

  -Extract all the data from multiple fields in a single file can be done via the tools - forms - more form Options - merge data files into spreadsheet...

  -Extraction of data from several files will require a script Custom Action, as I've written before.

• How can I insert instructions/text in a PDF form text field that can be typed by the end user?

  How can I insert instructions/text into a text form field that can be typed by the end user? As the screenshot attached.

  I already have a PDF (not created by me) I have to edit but cannot work out how to enter into new fields of text instructions, I create. I tried to do in InDesign, but the text gets just covered by the blue shape box when you view the final PDF file.

  

  Follow the instructions as default value for the field and then reset the form.

• Question of feasibility: extract information from the fields to the PDF format

  I explore options to collect answers to a PDF form.  Fields of entries by the user are created, the user saves the form in PDF format and sends the return form.  The data entered by the user entered in the fields can be retrieved electronically?  I hate the very idea of renewing the data entered by the user to get it in electronic format.  For now, the question is ' is it possible - extract the entries by the user of the data in an electronic format?  If possible, then I can begin to explore the format, etc.

  It is worth noting since you stevat from the outset that it may be problematic to rely on email. Much better to send the form just like an HTML form. This needs a professional web programmer to provide web scripts, however. Also PDF forms do not work on some browsers and phones.

  It is easy to assume that the big trick is to design the form. But it's just the 10% above the water. Personally I wouldn't consider PDF forms more due to browser issues. Same Adobe move to a dynamic conversion to HTML forms then why don't no start with a? There is full form service providers that provide tools to collect and analyze. For example forms of Google - create and analyze surveys, free.
