Tab to the next form field auto

In some forms, when a user types, for example, the area code for telephone numbers, they are tabulated automatically in the cell for 3-digit prefix and after completing the prefix they are tabulated automatically to the last cell of the phone number. I know that the user can type the tab key themselves, but is Acrobat capable of automatically using fields of form created in Acrobat in version 9 or 10 Pro?

It should be the name of the next field. The problem with this particular script is a text field with a limit of three characters, you should try to enter another character before it will set the focus to the next field.

Here is a function you can create in a JavaScript script at the level of the document that you can call in custom typing JavaScript in a text field that should behave as you want:

Function at the level of the document

function tab_next (next_field_name) {}

Move to the next field relied on entry
or the user has clicked outside the scope
or if the number of the character is the character limit
If (event.willCommit |) AFMergeChange (event) .length = event.target.charLimit) {}
getField (next_field_name) .setFocus ();
}
}

Then call it that as the script of hit a text field:

AutoTab to the field "text2".

tab_next ("text2");

This particular script will not work unless you are ready to the limit of characters for the domain from which it is called. There are a lot of scripts autotab that people have created for use with Acrobat (some better than others) that address a particular circumstance, so that will probably more with a search.

  • How to protect the edit form field text

    Hi - I use Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Windows.  I created a form; in the date field, I need the day to display when the form is activated first (open).  The form is sent to the additional workers, I need to stay in the field of the form and not change the date.  I was able to get the current date to display on the logon form, but each of the following to open the form changes the date.  I even saved a completed form (after you complete the form in Reader) but when he opened subsequently, it changed to the current date.  I'd appreciate any help.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use this:

    var currentDate = this.getField("Today").value;

    If (' currentDate == null | currentDate == "") {}

    var f = this.getField ("Today");

    f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", newDate());

    }

    You must manually clear the field, make it read-only and then save

    file and close it.

    The next time that you open it, the field must be filled.

  • Automatic scrolling of text possible in combination with the text form field

    Hello

    We would like to know if it is possible to align the text automatically with a form field that can contain different amounts of characters.

    For example:

    We have a form with a text field for currency at the end of a paragraph of text. The period to mark the end of the sentence should always be printed just behind the currency field. For now, the comma character has a fixed place, just outside the scope of the currency field. It doesn't look good when the currency field contains only 2 characters (due to the white space).

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you.

    It is only possible if the time text is also part of a text field, preferably the same one. You can use a format or script validation to automatically add this custom text to text from the user, assuming that it is a fixed value or you can know in advance. If it is a value entered by the user, then it becomes almost impossible to do it gently.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - character spacing in the text form field

    Hi all

    We are creating a form that contains a part of money transfer.

    This form will be printed on preprinted paper that contains special rectangle fields for the characters (f.e. a bank account number = > IBAN).

    Each character must match their respective rectangle.

    Because of the spacing between the rectangles, we must be able to increase the spacing between characters, but it seems that it is not possible for the text to form fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro ms? We looked everywhere, but we can't seem to find it.

    We missed something? Otherwise: are there other options to solve our problem?

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    I made a form that required me to add a few custom fields.  When the form sends an email, custom fields appear as "Custom".  I need them to say what is the form field.  Can we achieve this by Muse?

    I tried to change the name of the script in DreamWeaver, but it caused the form to fail.

    Any ideas would be great.

    Thank you.

    You are not able to just type the new name in and on "Custom" label above it and see it changed in your email automatically?

  • The pre-population of the child form fields

    Hi all
    I am commissioning user AD based on access policies. I also need to decide the DN of the group to that user based on the attributes of user profiles. For this I created a pre-fill adapter, but it doesn't work (maybe because the name of the group is a child table field).
    I went through the other forums that says we cannot pre-fill values in the child table. Is this true?

    The solution that has been to create access policies and give the name of the group, but in my case, there are about 1000s of different groups. Please suggest how can I set the Group dn in this case.

    Thank you
    Deepika

    Pre fill child Table is not possible.

    You need to add a task in the process definition which will read the user attribute and add groups to the user of the child form to AD object. This task will be called after the creation of the user.
