Text field display [formatted] data date - different entry form.

It is probubly simple but thanks for any help.  My client wants to text fields as they find tedious date drop-downs for its shape.  As a result, I formatted the field to display the date as he asked mmm / d.  Regardless of how the user inserts the date, it is displayed as well as the customer wants.

The problem I am facing is that when I call data for the calculations it send information in the format it was entered rather then displayed.

For example, a user can enter

1-1 and it would show [Jan / 1] in the field, but returns a string value (1-1) with this.getField.  User can enter 01 jan, jan 1, jan - 1, 1-01, 01-01, ect. and it would all read correctly in the text formatted field.

I wrote a simple script to convert the month in days but it won't work unless the information is returned in the same way, it is displayed.  Y at - it an easier way to convert a date text field into a variable [day of the year] regardless of how the data has been entered. (without drop downs).

Please and thanks for any help.

To get a date that you can use, use the util.scand method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.1260.html

With no information of the year, it will give the current year. You'll be able to get the day and the month as and use however desired. Note that Acrobat/Reader will not let you enter an invalid date (for example, February 30) when the field is formatted as a date, if it's not a matter of concern.

    Try something like:

    This will update the field 'text1' whenever the document is opened.

  • How to create an automatic text field - has a date of three years from the current date?

    I'm trying to create a PDF form that is automatically entered a three-year expiration date in the future of the current date in a created text field.

    Text field name: ExpDate

    Text field format: mm/dd/yy

    So far, I entered in the following in the Page Properties-> Actions-> Add Action (trigger = Open Page, Action = run a JavaScript script):

    var ExpDate = new Date();

    ExpDate.setYear (ExpDate.getYear () + 3);

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

    f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", ExpDate);

    We will attend the correct expiration date the day where I do the certificate (i.e. There will be 07/06/16, June 7, 2016), but when I open it the next day will be always ready 07/06/16 instead of 06/08/16. I'm sure it is something simple that I need to change. Any ideas?

    If she says ' 07/06/16"on 7 June 2016, which means that it does not work properly, either, as it does not add 3 years to the date of the day... It should show ' 07/06/19.

  • Text field validating this date has been entered - using Acrobat Pro

    I created a PDF form and need a text field which I formatted to a date field to validate if a date has been entered. For example if I have tab on this area and there are no registration, I want an alert to be produced by telling the user that the field is in need of a date is valid. Thank you

    Figured it out.

    onBlur for this area, I used:

    If {(lastValueInvalid)
    Event.Target.Value = "";
    lastValueInvalid = false;
    }

    If (event.value == "") {}
    App.Alert ("required field (cannot be empty): Please enter a valid Date of decision (example: 03/04/2015) ');
    }

    Then I added under the Javascript:

    lastValueInvalid = false;

    function FCDate_Keystroke (errorMessage, format)

    {

    var value = AFMergeChange (event);

    If (! value)

    return;

    If (event.willCommit)

    {

    var date = AFParseDateEx (event.value, format);

    If (! date)

    {

    FieldValidationPending = true;

    lastValueInvalid = true;

    If (! event.silenceErrors)

    App.Alert (ErrorMessage);

    } else {}

    FieldValidationPending = false;

    lastValueInvalid = false;

    }

    }

    on the other

    {

    If (!.) FC_DATE_KEYSTROKE_RE.test (value))

    {

    App.Beep (0);

    Event.RC = false;

    }

    }

    No, because the script will only trigger when other field values change. It will not update when the document is opened until the user changes a field value.

  • Text field: display

    Hi all

    Have a question about text field

    Currently, the text field parameters are:
    source: always, replacement of value that exists in session state
    Source type: database column
    Maintain Session State: per session
    Source of value or an expression: name

    My question is, when the user changes the display name (Jill Jack changes) and click Update, refreshes the page and the name text box is empty. How can I get the name put to date to display on the text field when the page is updated.

    I also tried to change the Source used to "Only when current state is zero", but it will show the old name (name: Jack) and not the updated name (name: Jill).

    For any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated
    Thank you so much everyone

    Jesh

    Jesh salvation,

    I've corrected it. I added a new PL/SQL statement, called Test to transfer values from page 3 to 1. I also added some in your javascript, which makes a doSubmit ('Test')... don't know if this part was really necessary however, but it works anyway.

    PS I look forward to oracle.apex.com:< takes="" 5mins+="" to="" load="" a="" page="" which="" aint="" great="" when="" testing="">

  • Text fields do not work in a specific form Document

    Hello

    I have a PDF form with a series of text fields and check box fields.

    Using this form:

    (1) adobe Reader XI (11.0.10) allows all form fields to fill in, highlighted and displays.

    (2) adobe Reader DC (2015.016.20039) allows the fields box and displayed. However, it will not allow the text to be filled or displayed fields. They are not yet highlighted.

    (3) Foxit Reader (8.0.0.624) allows all fields of form to fill out and displayed.

    Does anyone have an idea why new versions of Adobe Reader DC would have difficulty working with the form fields, but everything else I've tried seems to be able to work with the same document of shape very well?

    Thank you

    Jason

    Nitro Support recommended by copying form fields, then removing them and sticking them back. It really seemed to work, I can now work with text fields now in Adobe Reader DC.

    Gus,

    First of all you must understand SQL itself cannot change the names of the columns for a query, as Frank has said.

    Columns in a SQL query are the 'projection' and the number of columns, the names of them and the data types must be determined before all data are extracted.

    See the following article: 101 PL/SQL: cursors and Projection of SQL

    Apex is simply based on the queries that you write, and even there not magically be able to change the names of columns in report based on your data.

    This is not to say what you want is impossible... it's possible... but not easily...

    See: how a function having a dynamic number of columns in the pipeline?

    Essentially the data itself have be questioned or known, before the data is retrieved, so that requires only the generated columns dynamically based on known data (for example, the criteria entered by a user) or you can do a query of two passes... questioning the data only once to get the values and then dynamically generating a second query to extract data with dynamically generated column headers.

    In the Apex of reports you will usually have the problem report attributes are defined as part of the update and are determined when the query is assigned to the report (that you can manually override the headers)... but the apex will not allow lines dynamically the changes based on the data, for standard reports, it allows.  I have not tried to do in the Apex, but you can maybe try and generate the report results using a two-pass method, to put in an HTML region, but it depends on what user interaction is required with the report, that you far built-in report functions.
