Automatically populate AcroForm fields

I'm using Acrobat X and would like to set up form fields so that when a user enters their name or chooses their name from a drop down list, the rest of the form fields will automatically be populated with the correct information for that person.
Is this possible? If so, how would I go about setting that up?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Automatically populate metadata field with file name?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is possible...
I'm working with many large batches of .jpg files, and am running them through Bridge in order to add metadata according to my client's guidelines.
For every single file, my client requires that the "Description" field in the IPTC Core section of the metadata is filled with the full filename, as it would appear in the Finder, including the .jpg extension.
Currently I'm copying every file's name and pasting it into the Description field. Does anyone know of a good way to automate this task? Since each file name is different, a standard metadata template isn't meeting my needs.
If anyone knows of a good way, I'd be very glad to know! Thank you.

Awesome, That works really well.
I found this on the forum based on your answer.
Puts the file name in the field and takes off the .pdf extention.
var
fileName = event.target.documentFileName;
//removing the file extensionvar vDot = fileName.length-4;
//apply the value to the TxtFieldthis.rawValue= fileName.substring(0,vDot);

How to Automatically Populate fields from Style no.--All data in XML- 2nd Request

To start with i am a noob in Livecycle, and zero knowledge in coding... I basically want to create 1 dropdown list (syle #) which shall automatically refer to xml and populate different fields (qtyperinner, buyer etc.) Here's my XML- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <document> <row> 150833 <QtyPerMaster>24</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>6</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.039</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Fred Meyer</Buyer> </row> <row> 87102 <QtyPerMaster>24</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>4</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.034</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Fred Meyer</Buyer> </row> <row> 821011 <QtyPerMaster>50</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>50</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.053</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Insource</Buyer> </row> <row> 110609 <QtyPerMaster>12</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>2</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.022</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Indigo</Buyer> </row> <row> 110608 <QtyPerMaster>24</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>6</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.024</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Indigo</Buyer> </row> <row> 150785 <QtyPerMaster>12</QtyPerMaster> <QtyPerInner>2</QtyPerInner> <VolofMaster>0.055</VolofMaster> <Buyer>Pier 1</Buyer> </row> </document> _______________________________________________________ Have already managed to create dropdown with style number...and it works!! (and have connected the XML with form properties as well as data binding) please advice how to link/bind style # field with the rest of the text boxes to generate data underneath that particular style number from the XML. it could very well be possible that my XML is written wrong (without heirachy or something)...if so also advice how that needs to be with an example...kindly make sure to advice in great detail as i would'nt understand otherwise. Question 2:- Based on the "style #" selection i want an image to be populated from C: (it should search the whole drive to find filename/style number) Please advice. Lastly i have already looked at the Purchase Order sample PDF which came with LiveCycle..and it doesnt seem to be of much help. Thanks in Advance- AK Dolven

Hi Judy,
I think you need to programatically set the layout and copies options for your XML publisher concurrent program using FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT before calling FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST.

A: automatically populate fields in jsp documents based on other fields

here is what you need to do:
1. Change the definitions for your fields as following
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.inputValue}"
 label="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.label}"
 required="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.mandatory}"
 columns="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.displayWidth}"
 binding="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docId}"
 id="docId" valueChangeListener="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docIdChange}"
autoSubmit="true">
 <af:validator binding="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.validator}"/>
 <f:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
 pattern="#{bindings.SourceDocumentId.format}"/>
 </af:inputText>
 <af:inputText value="#{bindings.DocumentName.inputValue}"
 label="#{bindings.DocumentName.label}"
 required="#{bindings.DocumentName.mandatory}"
 columns="#{bindings.DocumentName.displayWidth}"
 binding="#{backing_transactions_editTransactions.docName}"
 id="docName"
partialTriggers="docId">
 <af:validator binding="#{bindings.DocumentName.validator}"/>
 </af:inputText>2. add the followig method to your backing bean:
public void docIdChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
 getDocName().setValue((String)getDocId().getValue() + "suffix");
}Run your form and enter the value into docId field, then press tab to go to the next field - docName will be populated

FB50: Profitability Segment - how to automatically populate fields

Good Morning SAP Gurus-
My client's requirement is to automatically populate the following when posting manual entries via FB50 under profitability segment:
Customer
Retail Segment 1
Distribution Channel
Product Line
Brand
Order type
How is this possible in ECC 6.0?
Thank you!

Hi,
First of all, you will have to create the various fields mentioned by you as Characteristic values in COPA using KEA5. Then include them in the operating concern using KEA0 . Depending upon how you want to populate those fields in the profitability segment, create derivation rules in KEDR. Now when you come to a point where you have to enter profitability segment fields, using FB50, click on "Derivation" button in the pop up window. All your fields will be filled automatically. But if you are expecting to fill in the fields that should reference a sales document, it has to flow automatically when a billing document is created which in turn flows into FI and CO. Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sony

Can I create a fillable form where data entered into to one field will automatically populate into o

I have a document that I need the persons name to show up in 5 different locations across 5 pages. As the user fillis in the first textbox for name, can adobe use that data to fill in the remaining 4 text boxes?

Yes, just give the fields the same name. If you only want one of the fields to be updated, then you need to use a different name for the other fields and use JavaScript to populate these fields.

Auto populate date field in form

Hi
I have been trying to get a field in a form to automatically populate with todays date. I have got a script which defines the default value for the field as: document.dform.currentdate.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
where dform is the name of the form, and currentdate is the name of the field.
This works fine.
But I am using the form to populate another program, and the field name must be 00N20000001QbHo
I assumed therefore that I should use: document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
But this does not work. In Dreamweaver the .00 appear red.
I suspect that I need to put 00N20000001QbHo in parentheses or something similar.
Can anyone help a newbie who doesn't know what he is doing? Full script below
<form name="dform">
<input type="text" name="00N20000001QbHo" size=11>
</form>
<script>
var mydate=new Date()
var theyear=mydate.getYear()
if (theyear < 1000)
theyear+=1900
var theday=mydate.getDay()
var themonth=mydate.getMonth()+1
if (themonth<10)
themonth="0"+themonth
var theday=mydate.getDate()
if (theday<10)
theday="0"+theday
var displayfirst=themonth
var displaysecond=theday
var displaythird=theyear
document.dform.00N20000001QbHo.value=displayfirst+"/"+displaysecond+"/"+displaythird
</script>

Auto populate text field base on anothe r text field input

ive created a medical form that the end user enters codes for medical reasons and a description for that code. the description are very long and tedious. is there a way to have the user enter the code in one field and have it auto populate another field with the correct description?
I was able to do this with a combo box but not with a standard text box. please note, i have never learned javascript and have been ""duct taping" peices of code to make things work up until now . appreciate the help

The advantage of the combo box is the automatic validation of the input as the selection is made.
You can use control statements like the "if" or "switch" statement or perform an array lookup. This action can be performed in the on blur action of the input filed or in the calculation script for the target field.

Automatically populate the Vendor and tick SC Vendor box in the PO

Hello Gurus,
How can I automatically populate the Vendor and tick SC Vendor box in the delivery address tab in the Purchase order?
Thanks!

Hi
I am not sure what business process you would like to map .Is it subcontractor order or   the business would like to send the component specific address every time which is different then Vendor master address.
If this is the case then the SC vendor   should be ON. This is manual process there is no seting to update this selection automatic.
Also if the above process is repeated   process . you can do the checkbox customized in the 'Reference data, item' Field Selection Group as required field . Every time user has flag this field   before saving of PO. But this is also not correct solution it will affect all type PO.
Thanks

Automatically fill in field based on data from table rows

hello,
Users in our organization currently have to complete a number of different forms when an accident occurs. I am creating a .pdf that combines these fomrs into one, with the first portion being a data input section where the user inputs the data and then this populates other sections (pages of the form) that can later be saved and printed.
The data input section contains subforms with tables. The tables have a row that has "add new item" and "delete this item" buttons. The rows have dropdown list fields.
I would like to create a field that will be automatically filled in with the values from the dropdown lists, including the values from the new rows that are added using the 'add new item' button.
Any assistance in this regard would be most appreciated. This is my first time on a forum, so I apologize if I have not been clear.
Thank you.

This is pretty complicated. You'll have to use scripting for this and I'll tell you how I'd approach this with JavaScript.
First of all you need to decide at what point you want to populate this field with the drop down selections. I think you have two options.
Option 1 - Automatically calculate this field each time a user makes a drop-down selection. It's possible that a user will enter data and then change a drop down value so you'll have to account for this.
Option 2 - Create an update button that users click to calculate this field. There is still a risk that users will change the value in the drop down after clicking update, so you would want to use scripting to lock those fields (e.g. make them protected) when the update button is clicked. You could then change the caption of this same button or have a second button that when clicked would unlock those drop down fields.
The other thing you need to do is figure out how to calculate this field. It seems to me you would probably build a string together that mixes text with the drop-down values. So your JavaScript would look something like this:
calculatedField.rawValue = "The accident occurred on " + table.row1.date.rawValue + ". It was witnessed by " + table.row1.witness1.rawValue +
" and " + table.row1.witness2.rawValue + ".";
When you're in the LC Designer JavaScript editor, hold control for the relative path to those fields and control + shift for the absolute path and then click on the fields whose values you want to access.
I hope this points you in the right direction!
