Printing of invisible fields

I have a couple of forms that have invisible fields I have script to become visible only when the user selects 'Yes' on some radio buttons when you fill out the form in Reader. They work great, but the problem is that we have some "old school" users who still prefer to print the form and then fill them out by hand (sometimes you just can't teach old dogs new tricks!). We are ok with this, but it means that the invisible fields do not print. I thought maybe by switching 'Visible (printing only)' could solve this problem, but then they don't show up for the majority of users who actually fill the form digitally.

Is it possible to set these fields so that they will display if the user prints a blank form to complete by hand?

Maybe a script pre printed that said: "if [mandatory fields] is empty (which would mean that the user is most likely printing a blank form), then change the fields 'Invisible' to"Visible '?" What would this script?

Or y at - it an easier way?

Thanks for any help!

I don't think that the option button has a value no value, try to test against.

  • Print an invisible table

    With 'invisible' I don't want no 'empty', but "not understood", "not displayed".

    You can take the completed component but not visible:

    //table.setSize(table.getPreferredSize());
    table.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(300, table.getPreferredSize().height) );
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setContentPane( table );
    frame.pack();
    

    the width is too small.

    This is because when you create a table, the width of each column as the default value of 75 pixels. If you want a larger table then override the default width (as demonstrated above).

    but the visible tables disappear from the Panel as well. No idea why?

    I have no idea why the table disappears from the image.

  • * Displays an invisible field when a database field has a value specified? !!

    Hi all
    I have two fields, a database and a database not
    IAM using a LOV to return the values of these two areas, I want to display another invisible field only when the database has filed the value returned by the LOV is equal to a specified value.
    I used a trigger WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on this field (named db_field) db with this code:

    DECLARE
    IT_ID POINT;
    BEGIN
    IT_ID: = FIND_ITEM ('item'); -It's the invisible element that I want to appear
    IF: db_field = 'some_value' THEN
    Set_Item_Property (IT_ID, visible, PROPERTY_TRUE);
    Set_Item_Property (IT_ID, Enabled, PROPERTY_TRUE);

    ON THE OTHER
    Set_Item_Property (IT_ID, visible, PROPERTY_FALSE);
    END IF;
    END;

    This trigger works fact (the same result as after the CHANGE and POST-TEXT-POINT), but the "article" field is released after leaving this db_field!
    I want to show this 'subject' field after returning from the value of the LOV directly not after leaving the db_field
    How to do this please?

    Hello

    You must have a when button pressed trigger, associated with the LOV... right?
    Typical code inside that would be:

    go_item ('db_field');
    do_key ('list_values');

    You must write the code that you wrote below after that. No need for when-validate-item trigger here.
    If your code in when-pressed button LOV trigger associated with db_filed should be as below:

    DECLARE
      IT_ID ITEM;
    BEGIN
      go_item('db_field');
      do_key('list_values');
      IT_ID := FIND_ITEM('item'); -- this is the unvisible item that I want to appear
      IF :db_field = 'some_value' THEN
         Set_Item_Property(IT_ID,VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
         Set_Item_Property(IT_ID,ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
      ELSE
         Set_Item_Property(IT_ID,VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
      END IF;
    END;

  • Print everything that is typed in the text field without printing the text fields

    Hello

    I am trying to print a form once filled the text fields I want to print just what I typed in the field, not the text field and the color in the text field. I use CS3.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello Teddy and wellcome to the Group!

    If you want to change the fonts or other things, then you will need to use the PrePrint method. What I usually do is select PrePrint in the 'Show' section in the Script Editor (if you did not go to the toolbar at the top, Windows and select Script Editor). After selecting PrePrint you can now either type the name of the subform and the field you want to change (or you can place the cursor in the script dialog box, hold down the CTRL key and select the field with the mouse) and enter in the JS to change font. It's something like TextField1.fillcolor = "255, 255, 255; (which changes the background in white fill). You can also replace fillcolor fonts or border to change the color of the police or the border. I put a link to an Adobe website that goes over the color JS below changes. You just need to add a method of pre-press for each field that you want to remove the necessary on highlighting. Then once the user hits a button print that you have on the form or use CTRL + P to print the form, it will remove any highlighting.

    Now on the text field does not itself feel that I do not know what you ask for. You ask for the legend does not print or not there is a box around the data entered. If you don't want to have a box surround the text field located in the section purpose of the field (see image below). You just need to select none, if you want to just text. If you want to change that with JS, I put another link below that has the code to change the color of the border in white and the user can't see it. If you do not want to print the legend, the only method is to remove the legend from the text box and replace it with a static text that can be hidden, but I guess that it isn't what you're talking about (correct me if I'm wrong however).

    In the Oracle reports, you can use a trigger (directly associated with the field) format for this.

    IF (: FIELDNAME) IS NULL THEN
    RETURN (FALSE);
    ON THE OTHER
    RETURN (TRUE);

    Hello

    I created this form and I have 20 boxes once checked each display a text box below. My problem is that when no checkboxes are checked, the additional pages where the invisible text objects always show. I want these pages to be hidden until the user activates one or more of these boxes.

    I appreciate your help.

    Thank you!

    (I am using LiveCycle Designer ES2)

    You must not use not 'invisible' because it's necessary space in the pdf file.

    You must always use 'hidden '.

    The next step is to use 1 dynamic page not 1, 2, 3.pages...

    Please submit the screenshot in the hierarchy.

    Then only (hidden and a correct hierarchy) will be the content flowed OK and you have no more empty pages.

    Unfortunality, you need to modify your scripts because the path is changed.

    Hope this is useful,

  • Expand text fields, only when printing

    All,

    I have a dynamic form that includes several text fields for user input. These fields have a fixed height, however, allow multiple lines beyond the visible area. I don't want these fields to develop when you leave the field, but when the form is printed. The form is set up neatly on 7 pages, and I would that this still 7 when the user is working, however, I would like to expand to account for the extra text to print.

    How can I make sure when I print, expand the fields and the data flow on the next pages?

    Thank you!

    Aaron

    There may be a better way, but when I need to position elements in a past form I use rectangles set no border so that they are invisible and put where I need spaces.

  • Everything is ok for 64-bit, printer INVISIBLE to 32-bit applications applications

    Hello

    I am running Win7Pro64SP1 on a Z800 work and recently had a crash of partial disc in which some areas followed her into oblivion - repair disk etc. and reinstalls a few, almost everything came back ok, but here and there I still stumble on a corrupted dll must be replaced.

    Today, I saw that Adobe Reader could not print on my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus, which is on the ethernet network. Never had a problem with the drive before... so I reinstalled everything to drive but nothing helped, even if Wordpad print without problem and I can scan with the printer (that is, communication with it's not a problem). So I installed the latest all-in-One driver for the printer, but always without success. Then I run the application "HP print and scan of doctor" who told me that everything was absolutely PERFECT... except that when I tried to print the test page, nothing came out of the printer. But the 'doctor' gave me the ability to print a "test internal page"... and this printed an ok!

    Then I noticed this: whenever I tried to print from a 64-bit (such as Wordpad) application, everything went very well... but for applications 32-bit (for example Adobe Reader) the printer is invisible! We are in the company of software development and have 32 and 64 bit versions of everything we do, so I tried to print from one of our software in Java: the 64-bit version printed ok, but gave me the 32-bit version of exactly the same pot

    java.awt.print.PrinterException: no printer found.

    So clearly, (1) the printer is ok, (2) communication with her is ok, but (3) the printer "does not exist" in 32 bit, even if it is in 64-bit! So I obviously tried to install at least the base of 32 bits for the printer drivers... but was advised to install the 64-bit version instead (which I already did, successfully).

    I know that drivers (such as printer drivers) are dll and you cannot mix many different bits in the same image, but given the number of applications that still exist in 32-bit only, I thought that the all-in-one installer for 64-bit (OJ8600_1315.exe) install them 63 AND 32 bit drivers?

    Any idea on how I can do 32-bit applications on top of the printer, too?

    Thank you very much for your advice!

    I have SOVED it:

    -remove the printer and then reinstalled by specifying "I'll connect LATER. I do not know if this installed the driver locally, but probably so: I was able to print the Test Page

    - then I spotted the Net for posts about similar problems and found that many people had the 32-bit spooler (splwow64.exe) if crush... so I checked where that file was on another Win7 machine and found that it is in C... If on Windows my computer the file was not there! It must have gone in the crash...

    -J' copied splwow64.exe on the other machine to C:\Windows and everything works well again in 32 and 64 bit

    Conclusion: the spools are not the same to print from applications of 32 and 64-bit, check both. Hope this can help some of you.

  • How can we make invisible static value in a text field to the OPA

    Hi all

    I have invisible static value in a text field in the OPA.

    For ex: field contains the value 100 while we manage the maintenance should not display the value 100 or make us the text as invisible field. whenever we submit the interview the value should be passed.

    I made the background color of the text in white field, but it reflects all the text fields. I need to make the text of the particular text as invisible field. Can someone give me a solution for it.

    Use two different attributes (the one that is indicated in the interview to the need - for example, as "the id selected user" or whatever the phrase is appropriate) and a different attribute, which is the mapped attribute.  The second attribute must not be on any screen of the interview (by thus "invisible" for the user).  Write a table of rules that concludes that the value of the attribute mapped on is EITHER static value or the selected/expected value according to some logic is appropriate to make a decision in your model of strategy.

  • 'Only form fields' print won't work on scanned in PDF format

    I am a lawyer and when I complain, I need to use a blank form of the Court which has a seal on it.  I want to avoid having to use a typewriter every time, so what I would do is: (1) analyzes the empty in Adobe Acrobat complaint, (2) fill in name, address, etc. in areas by using the function 'Add text', (3) place the complaint sealed, empty in my bin of the printer, and (4) print only the fields that I entered (i.e. address (, name, etc.) so that they overlap perfectly on the designated areas of the complaint of seal.  In theory, this plan works perfectly.

    I tried to add the text to the help > modify PDF > function add text, I add all of the fields that I have to, and when I go to print "form fields only" throughout the document is empty.  The only way these fields will be printed is if I choose 'Document', 'Document and marks' or 'Document and Stamp' of the section comment and forms of print screen, however this displays the entire form and I want only their name, address, etc. that I filled out in Adobe (because I already have the blank form in my printer).

    I use Adobe Acrobat DC trial and running Mac OS 10.9.


    Any help on this would be much appreciated!

    That you add are not of form fields, which explains why it does not work.

    To add form fields you must go to the form view change via Tools - shape, and

    then, use the add new field there.
