• Issue of form design - using the form in Acrobat PDF format

  I created a form in excel and imported into Acrobat Pro XI to create a pdf file which is automatically calculates the subtotal, discount, delivery, installation, retail etc...    The problem I have is that the sum does not calculate properly when the discount field or sales tax is nil.  Can someone tell me how write code if the value of "Discount" is $0.00, the value will be equal the subtotal? I should be able to then apply the same formula in the field of sales tax.  Here's the formula I am entered for the calculation of the discount and subtotal:

  Event.Value = this.getField ('subtotal') .value * this .getField ("Discount") .value.

  Ah, if it's a percentage field, not a dollar amount (as your original question has suggested). In this case, you can use something like this:

  If (this.getField("Discount").value == 0) event.value = this.getField("Subtotal").value;

  else this.getField("Subtotal").value = event.value * this.getField("Discount").value;

• Want to make a "new user" form in Acrobat using the Forms Designer, I'm going about this wrong?

He practices the company base on internet usage, storage of base directory, login, etc... I want that last page of a form that I fill to contain their user name, password, telephone etc... I've implemented the shape makes a .pdf file and used the form designer to implement the fields I want to have active. Now I don't know what to do. I deally, I want save a copy of the file for each user in a network folder, with their information on this subject, and the form fields locked after I'm done. I've been playing with the distribution of forms and appear not to do what I want, looks like it creates a single file with all the different updates. I want possible, or can I just keep the shape of the United Nations distributed and open / save for each user and hope that they erase their data?

  Any help would be appreciated to gratly! Thank you!

  Yes, for what you want to do create the form in Acrobat is the best way to go. Here are a few tips.

  1. to flatten the page that contains the form field, use the flattenPages method. It is documented here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.466.html

  So to flatten the last page of a document, you should do something like:

  Convert fields on the last page to the other content

  flattenPages ({start: numPages - 1});

  For more information, see the tool flatten Page content that you can download here: http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm

  2. to save the changes in a new document, you can do this:

  Trigger the menu item save as

  app.execMenuItem ("SaveAs");

  It will require a location and a name of daughter. More information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.143.html

  These two lines of code provide the minimum stripped for what you want.

  For the backup operation, you probably want to eventually create your own routine to SaveAs in a JavaScript file to the folder level which also contains the code that implements a custom toolbar button that implements this.

  For example (method addToolButton): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.134.html

  and (trustPropagator for example of method w/save as): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.168.html

  and (method trustedFunction): http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.167.html

  Create your own routine to SaveAs to silently save the file to the desired location by using a file name based on the content of one or more form fields, for example.

• Prevention of the forms of text block

  When I draw a shape (box, circle, etc.) with the tool form - I usually insert columns with text inside them. The form is usually a boarder of the page and sometimes I have to change.

  Several times just by clicking on my text tool in the area of the shape transforms this form in a block of text.

  I need to find a way to prevent the form turns into a block of text.

  There are several ways to handle this. One is to turn off the preference which allows the tool to type convert images to text blocks.

  Another is to put these borders on their own layer and lock the layer.

  A third is actually use the feature to combine the border and a text frame, if it is appropriate for the page layout.

• Creation of the form and presentation

  Okay, I'm taking a pdf form that the customer has created, post on the site for download and filled, and then to send the PDF back to the client. Right now, he sends an xml file which we cannot open with acrobat. We are usomg Dreamweaver and Acrobat CS4

  The XML file is imported into the form. Open the form in Acrobat and the import of the data file. Submit the PDF form is a matter of license and requires the reader rights be enabled (the aspect of licensing restrictions). In addition, depending on your use, presentation of e-mail will likely fail for some users due to their configuration of the machine. The best presentation is a web script, not an e-mail.

• Adobe Reader cannot save... just print the form

  Hi friends

  If it is the wrong post... I'm sorry.

  Hope you can help me.

  I made a simple form using LiveCycle Designer ES2. When finished, I saved normally in PDF.

  When sending by email or copy to another computer... I m open the PDF file in Adobe Reader to test if it works. All fields are okay (I used simple fields, without JavaScript).

  But Adobe Reader displays a message that the current form cannot be saved. If I want to, I could print to have a completed copy of the form.

  What a lack of I m?

  How could I do the PDF opened by Adobe Reader and power save without problem?

  Thank you very much

  Gustavo.

  Hi Gustavo,

  You open the form in Acrobat, then depending on the version of Acrobat you have you go to the Advanced menu OR the menu file. The PDF summary at link has screenshots for Acrobat version 9.

  Here's the option Acrobat x

  

  Please note that there are restrictions of license - see the EULA.

  Post edited by: Niall O'Bryan ' Donovan cal457 is right – version 9, it is in the Advanced menu.

• Script of the form docReady event!

  Hello

  I have a simple form with 1 box (off by default) and Textfield 1. The two are distinct forms. I'm trying to make the visible presence of TextField when the box is checked. Script works great for the event box change but not for the Docready event.

  Can see the form in pdf here: http://DL.dropbox.com/u/5141935/ErrorInVisibility.PDF

  In summary:

  

  I also checked the same on the shape ready, ready layout event... (just for the hit & trial) but no work with either.

  There is a big version of form, this is just a version boiled down the problem.

  Pls tell what I'm doing wrong!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Here's the back of the form: https://acrobat.com/#d=lVnQIhP4B4t0A-N9prn4hQ

  I would use the click event of the checkbox to change the visibility of the subform. Then in the box docReady event, you can run the script in the click event.

  At the time of the design, you can also set the presence of the subform to hidden or invisible. In this way, that you would not need the docReady event script.

  Hope that helps,

• The form - display title

  I noticed that the settings as properties in Livecycle do not have a Windows Option/show title as in Acrobat. I need the forms I created to display the title of the form, not the name of the file. I can't find that anywhere as a choice, and it won't let you change it in the PDF file once it is in Acrobat. So is this possible and I'm just missing where it is?

  Thank you

  The reason that all the options are greyed out is the security settings. It must in fact enable security, then disable it that me frustrated for weeks until what I thought of her.

  To do this. .

  1. open the form in Acrobat Pro and access the document properties box

  2. Select the Security tab, and then in the safety deposit box method select "password security"

  3. Once you do that it automatically goes to the "Password security settings" dialog box

  4. under permissions, check "restrict editing and printing of the document...". »

  5. enter a simple password like "123", don't bother to change anything else

  6. click on ok... and you will be asked to enter the password again once... Enter it.click ok until you return to the document properties page and click ok to exit.

  1 go back to the document properties box

  2. next to the drop-down security method, click on "change settings", who will bring to the password once security configuration dialog box more.

  3. IMPORTANT: Just click Cancel to exit this dialog.

  4. now you are back to the properties of the document. in the drop-down menu setting security password change "no security".

  5. click Yes/OK to confirm, then exit the document properties box completely.

  Go back to document properties, and all options are now available.

  I'm not sure if there is an easier way... but it works for me.

  Hope this helps

• Backup of data on a form

  I can't save a completed form. It only will allow me to save the empty form. There is no security on the execution of this function restrictions. Any help?

  Ok. It could be that the form was not enabled for users of readers to be able to save the data. This is a special function that needs to be done using Adobe Acrobat.

  The good news is, you don't need for him to be enabled if you are using the latest Adobe Reader software version, or the creator of the option activate the form using Acrobat or download reader XI.

• Import data from microsoft great Adobe acrobat XI

  Hello

  I am referring to an object of the adobe support page. German Version can be found here. A quote from the site are under discussion.

  I want to import data from an excel sheet in adobe pdf format. I created some forms that have the same names as the columns (to be more precise: the first line) in the excel worksheet. How I export data from excel?

  I exported the "tab-separated-Tex", but I found an error in adobe saying that the txt could not be imported. Can someone tell me how to export the data correctly?

  Is there another way?

  Thank you very much! Questions or remarks are welcome!

  Edit1: I would appreciate a person displaying a file "adobe acrobat" forms a txt for example. That make you much easier, if all goes well. Thank you!

  Import form data

  In some stream work, particular scenarios present filled with forms as data only files and not as a complete PDF files. These files are not PDFs, but use a different format, such as FDF or XML. You can view the data provided by an individual recipient in the context of the PDF by opening the original file and importing the information contained in the data file.

  1. In Acrobat, open the PDF form in which you want to import data.
  2. Choose Tools > forms > clear form.
     Note: When you import data from another file into a PDF form, the imported data will replace any information that was previously included in individual form fields. However, if the imported data file contains one or more blank form fields, the import does not clear the original data.

  3. Choose Tools > forms > more form Options > manage form data > import data.
  4. In the Select file containing Form Data dialog, select a format in the file of Type corresponding to the data file to import. Locate and select the file, and then click Open.
     Note: Some formats are only available for specific types of PDF forms, depending on the application used to create the form, like Acrobat or Designer ES2. Data you're importing a text (.txt) file must be formatted in rows, delimited by tabs that form columns.

  I think it would be better for you to put a blank form and a sample data file so that we can test it and check why it does not work.

• Is possible to save a form using Acrobat Reader? How?

  Hi all

  I designed a static pdf form using Livecycle. I want to send to recipients of the form, and I need that they me the pdf form back. I can do this without problems on Adobe Acrobat Pro, but my friends who use Adobe Reader cannot save the completed form. Adobe Reader offers to save a blank copy of the form or print filled. But not what I need. I need to have best x of the form (pdf file) filled by my beneficiaries of x. Y at - it option in Livecycle for to save the form filled out on Acrobat Reader?

  Thanks in advance,

  Decree No. presidential apology for my bad English...

  Hi Enrique.

  So that users with the reader to be able to save your form, it must be "enabled drive" before you send it.

  You have three choices:

  • Drive allow the form with LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a component of server based on the rest of the company. It is planned for the processing of large volumes of data/forms and an additional cost per form.
  • Player select the form using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Pro v7 to v8). It has less than 500 users per form license restrictions.
  • Instead of users with reader to send the return in PDF form. You can configure a button "send as XML. It does not require users to drive to save the form.

  I have a summary of the features that are available/restricted depending on whether the form is activated and how it has been activated on our blog: http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/

  When you open the sample at the end of the post, if you hover over the question marks, you can see screenshots of the activation process.

  Hope that helps,

• Dynamic XFA forms and Acrobat Professional

  Hello

  I have the following statement of our software provider and want to check if it is correct: «you can't create/modify dynamic XFA forms with Adobe Acrobat.» Creation of dynamic XFA forms requires Adobe LiveCycle Forms Designer supplied with Acrobat 7, 8, 9 and X Professional; and is not included in Acrobat Professional XI. You can fill out the forms using Acrobat Professional but they are static forms. »

  Is this correct? Between the change in the way that LiveCycle designer has been distributed (provided with Acrobat Pro then separately) and Acrobat Pro vs. Adobe FormsCentral, it is not easy to see what is necessary to do now with Acrobat Pro XI.

  Thank you!

  R.

  Yes, this description is correct. It is also important to understand that there is no connection between the LCD and FormsCentral. Two things are very different.

  CF is a service based on the web for the design of forms, their distribution and then collects the results. Since it is more what remains of him is his desktop application that can be used to create a (simple) PDF forms from scratch. The resulting file is a standard PDF Acrobat format, not a form of LCD.

• Acrobat XI - preventing the creation of automatic form field

  How can I stop Acrobat XI automatically creating form fields interactive when I convert a document existing (pdf) form.  I know that I can delete them manually, but I convert custom documents several times a day and I want to eliminate extra steps to remove fields that I don't need.

  You should be able to open the PDF file, select ' tools > forms > edit ' and when you are prompted to have Acrobat automatically detects form fields, answer No you will then be in the form of editing mode where you can add them manually.

• Prevent users from cut and paste content in the form fields (form data)

  Hello

  I have a requirement where there are two fields: "Enter the email address" and "Re-enter E-mail address. The form should not allow the user to copy - paste the email address in the field enter again. It must be entered manually. Is it possible through javascript? Or by setting the properties of the form with LiveCycle Designer? I use the version of the Es4. I am aware that I can restirct user copy the content in the form. Solution for bonding of retrict will be highly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  You can check if the Ctrl key is pressed while the new value is entered in a field.

  If you can at least avoid pasing via Ctrl + V key combination.
