Recover/place current date-time in the text box

Hello, I wonder if someone has experimented with dynamically retrieve the current computer date/time and place this information in a text box? Looks like a simple enough action, but I can't find any documentation related this topic. I suspect that this method of appeal and retrieval behavior could serve as unexpectedly in many situations for many people!

You don't need a script to do this.  In the Type menu, there is a submenu "text... Variables. ».  This will set text variables and store them in text boxes.  There is a predefined variable called "Release Date", which will display the date current (MM/DD/YY) when a PDF file is output.  If you want to display the time, under "text... Variables. ', go to 'Define'... ", and you can define your own.  Under 'Type', select the release date and add any desired variable data.  The format of date and time should look like this:

HH: mm: MM/DD/YY

I found that only update text Variables in the display very consistantly, but I just tested it, and whatever the value is, the PDF output has time and date.

If you want to control the text with javaScript variables, see the classes of TextVariableInstance (s) and TextVariable (s).

As a side note, the text variables work very well if you want the date and time, page, etc., but I really wish they would add a little more features, especially with things like name of separation, color profile, and PDF output profile.  It would be a huge timesaver that all of this type of metadata inserted easily.

  • Current date & time in the text field

    I need to automatically populate a text field with four letters so the date and current time. The field must fill out when the user clicks on a checkbox.

    For example, if it is today, April 25, 2012 and it is currently 10:27, the text field should read: UNIS0425121027.  (Time can be in time military or not - it's not bad).

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Try the following in the initialize event of the text box.

    Change the scripting language for FormCalc.

    TextField1.rawValue = Concat ("UNITED", Num2Date (Date (), "MMDDYY"), Num2Time (Time (), "HHMM"));

  • Can not get the data entered in the text box item

    Hi, I am new to APEX I hope you can help me.
    I have the following situation.

    I created a page with a region (R1) on which are shown details of certain rank on a table (T1) as id, name, type, date... etc all separated in the form of text fields.

    Below this region R1, I created order (R2). The R2 I added an article - text area (P2_COMMENT) and update button (send operation). I created the process anonymous PL/SQL block for this button. Process contains insert statement that needs to insert a row in another table (T2) with data on the R1 and the R2 P2_COMMENT. But it does not work. When I enter text in P2_COMMENT and press the button to update, it addresses field P2_COMMENT with a null value. If I put P2_COMMENT as a value in an insert statement, then it works so PL/SQL is ok.

    Whay my SQL statement is not to get P2_COMMENT values?

    Thanks a lot in advance, best regards.

  • I need to know the file current date/time number stamp and the version of "spoolsv.exe" in Vista Home Premium 32-bit with SP2.

    I need to know the file current date/time number stamp and the version of "spoolsv.exe" in Vista Home Premium 32-bit with SP2. My spooler file got corrupted and I need to know what that the stamp of date/time on the latest version of the file: spoolsv.exe. I did a search on my hard drive and found 8 copies of the file with 7 different dates. I need to know which copy in my file C:\windows\system32\. I suspect that the problem was caused by some kind of malware. I think that some of the different versions on my machine of the initial installation of the Vista, SP1 and SP2. 3 copies that would explain. I tried all the suggestions in this forum and several others. I tried sfc/scannow and it simply replaces the corrupted file by another. I understand how works this file and a simple copy will do the trick if I knew that the file to use. I know that I don't want to go back to the first version of 2006.  BTW... my symptoms are all my printers have disappeared, and when I try to 'add a new printer' I get an error message saying that my spooler service does not work. When I opened my services window it shows that indeed, he is arrested, but I will not start because the description column contains only the code garbled machine indicating that the file is corrupted, or it may contain a virus. I had been using F-Prot until this virus got by and now I use AVG. I scanned my machine with several cleaning packages and it is is more infected, but I worry that from this corrupt file grow something. I know that the problem is not with my printers or drivers, because everyone on my home network can print on all of my printers. None of the people I know are on Vista 32 bit. They are all running System 7 or XP. I have XP, except that a few years ago I suffered from the "Syndrome of Pepsi" on my laptop and when I bought a new HP, it came with Vista.

  • How to place an image inline with the text using InDesign CS4?

    I'm writing the first draft of an instruction manual how two for some software.

    I'm writing the manual directly in InDesign CS4 and making screen shots that I'm making progress. I format the screenshot in Photoshop and export it to a JPG file.

    In InDesign, I double-click in the text box where I want to insert the image, go to file > place, get the picture, then press on open.

    Usually InDesign inserts the image at the cursor flashing in the text, but sometimes what happens is that no picture inserted and everything after it disappears. I get several empty text boxes and need to Control-Z to get back to where I started.

    Now I can put the image outside the text box and then manually move it to the text where I want to go, however when I export the file as HTML, then I need to manually move it to the appropriate area in Dreamweaver (when the image is placed inside the text box to the flashing cursor, the HTML file shows the image in the right place).

    I was able to insert the line in file with the text to a new paragraph mark, but sometimes InDesign doesn't let me do. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

    I don't know what I'm doing to prevent it from placing the paragraph mark and the blinking cursor (which is where I want it to appear).

    This is a recording of screen 54sec of my actions:

    http://storytechnician.com/temp/idcs4-place/

    Steps to follow:

    I double-click inside the text box

    I place the image

    everything goes

    I have a few pages scroll, and then return to the starting point

    I have to scroll through a page or double-click inside the text box then press return a few times, and the previous image, I put in this way is automatically pushed to the next page.

    I go back to point of original departure, try again, and it does not work.

    I've done it before, but now it does not work. I don't know what's happened prevents him from online to the location of the cursor.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    It seems to me that the image is too wide for the frame. You can place it on the editing table, scale in the size, then cut to the Clipboard and paste it into the flow of the text.

  • Extracted from LAVA - crush keeps old date/time of the png file

    I don't know if this is a bug, or to behave like that.

    Scenario: create an extract using the tool of LAVA. I just use the same name (and path) of an existing png file that was created by the same LAVA tool a few days before also (so I replaced the original file). I opened the case, and to quickly find the newly created excerpt, I ordered the files as a descendant by time and date. To my surprise I couldn't find the code snippet in the upper part. The reason was that the new file kept the date/time from the original one.

    This is a really minor thing, but it made me curious. Under windows, when I rename a file, it retains the original timestamp. However when I crush him, it updates.

    LabVIEW 2015 (32-bit),

    Code Capture Tool v3.2.1 - 46 lava

    As I said, look at the code of the COMMON customs tariff. The only thing I can think of that would make it interesting is the code snippet, which is a flow within the PNG file, something that the VI of shipment is not compatible. I don't know more how it's done exactly - it might be created under the PNG in memory and then writes to the file directly or can be injected into the file after shipping VI saves it.

    Either way, I just did a test fast in Notepad and if I do record under and tell him to replace an existing file, the date of the creation of this file does not seem to change so this seems to be normal behavior for Windows. I don't know if the Windows API file deletes the file and creates a new or simply modifies the existing file when you perform this operation.

  • Display Date/time of the Client system

    Hello

    The requirement is to display the report run date/time in the result. (Report is developed using Excel template)

    Following syntax would give me time of the server where BI Publisher is installed.

    But, users would like to see their client system local date/time. There are several users running the report to several time zones.

    Any help on this is much appreciated.

    Thank you

    before =)

    What is values of $_XDOLOCALE and $_XDOTIMEZONE, then you run the report with or without the user preferences?

    can you please check and share the result

    Add these variables to test the output of the report and please post on its values

    so, if the values of the variables are picked from the user's preferences, you can simply use

    If the values are the values of server beep then, as of ideas,

    -some additional report parameters (can be hidden) dynamic picking local / zone by other additional tables as user/local/zone schedule

    (intermediate table to store the preferences of users - custom extension)

    so, you for certain user values in this table, then you can set their default values for the parameters and pass to the generation of reports

    If missed - use beep server settings

    try to change the text in a saved file, but it will not allow isolate me the text, place the cursor in the text box or simply go back to remove.

    Hello

    in what format save you your file? If it's a jpg file, then the text is compressed and unfortunately PS is telling things as they are. Even if you could change the text before you save, after having been saved in jpg format, the text is merged and is no longer editable.

    A good solution is to save the files as PSD files, photoshop files. In this case, all layers are saved uncompressed and so your text will appear in its own layer in photoshop. All you need to do in this case to change it is the result of a three-step procedure

    (1) select the right layer

    (2) take the text tool in the tools bar

    (3) mark and change your text

    So the crucial question is: in what format you save your file?
