Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form?  If so, how?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed.  I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field.  The procedure for creating these escapes me.  Does anyone have any insight?

Hi Gilad,
thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
Kind Regards,
Pete

  • Please help with creating a summary report from data collected in a fillable PDF form.

    I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize in advance - I'm new to this forum and I'm not quite sure of which section I should be in. If I may just describe a certain scenario of something I am trying to create - could you please point me in the right direction?
    I'm looking to create a summary report/form to help me better organize my patients after each appointment. So data collected from other fillable forms I've created, will lead to the final page to print that will include selections from fillable text boxes or drop down lists, etc to basically summarize each encounter. It should go something like this:
    FORM 1:
    -pt chart #
    -pg age
    -purpose for visit
    -date of visit
    -diagnosis
    -prognosis
    -etc
    SUMMARY page
    On (-date of visit), patient (-pt chart #) arrived with complaint of (-purpose for visit)....
    The diagnosis was determined to be (-diagnosis), treatment to be performed is suggested to be (-treatment) with a (-prognosis) prognosis. Treatment was (accepted or not) and completed on... etc. etc... you get the idea
    Does anyone know how I can do this?
    Thank you all for your time and advice!

    I have downloaded Castor and got some good tutorials, but.......
    There is a problem, when I try to use the Marshaller to get an XML document the following error is reported:

    I have scanned the Internet looking for a solution, some recommend including Xecers in the Classpath. I downloaded Xerces 2.7.1 and added it to as instructed but this did not work.

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I create calculated measure using AMO in SQL Server Analysis Services?

    Introduction
    In SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS), you can create a calculated measure in SQL Server Data Tool (SSDT)/Boniness Integrated Development Studio (BIDS). Sometimes you may need to create calculated measure by using AMO in a C# or VB project.
    In this article, I will demonstrate so how to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS?
    Prerequisites
    Before create calculated measure using AMO, you need to ensure that the following components were installed in your server.
    The multidimensional database AdventureWorks Multidimensional Model 2012
    A SQL Server with SSIS and SSAS installed
    The AMO libraries installed:
    X86 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
    X64 Package (SQL_AS_AMO.msi)
    Solution
    Here is the detail steps to create calculated measure using AMO in SSAS.
    Open SSDT and create a new SSIS project.
    Drag Script Task to the design surface.
    Click SSIS-> Variables to open the Variables window and add two variables that used to connect to the server and database.
    Create a connection to connect to SSAS server.
    Rename the connection name to ssas.
    Double click the Script Task to open Script Task Editor.
    Add Connection and Database variables to ReadWriteVariables textbox and then click Edit Script button.
    Add AMO reference in the Solution Explore window.
    Copy the script below and paste it into the script.
    Dim objServer As Server
    Dim objDatabase As Database
    Dim strDataBaseID As String
    Dim objCube As Cube
    Dim objMdxScript As MdxScript
    Dim objCommand As Command
    Dim strCommand As String
    objServer = New Server
    objServer.Connect("localhost")
    objDatabase = objServer.Databases("AdventureWorksDW2012Multidimensional-EE2")
    strDataBaseID = objDatabase.ID
    If objDatabase.Cubes.Count > 0 Then
    objCube = objDatabase.Cubes("Adventure Works")
    If objCube.MdxScripts.Count > 0 Then
    objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
    objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts(0)
    Else
    objCube.MdxScripts.Add("MdxScript", "MdxScript")
    objMdxScript = objCube.MdxScripts("MdxScript")
    End If
    objCommand = New Command
    strCommand = "CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Multipy Measures By 3]"
    strCommand = strCommand & " AS [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] * 3, "
    strCommand = strCommand & " VISIBLE = 1 ; "
    objCommand.Text = strCommand
    objMdxScript.Commands.Add(objCommand)
    objMdxScript.Update()
    objCube.Update()
    End If
    objServer.Disconnect()
    Then you can run this SSIS package to create the calculated measure.
    Applies to
    Microsoft SQL Server 2005
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012

    Thanks,
    Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
    For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    in a supported way?
    Thanks! Josh

  • Ho w to create a field using workflow ?

    how to create a field using workflow ?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to trigger a workflow only once when a item is updated.
    If you want to set it programmatically, I suggest you can create a Yes/NO column called flag firstly with the default value No and set the workflow start option to manually start.
    When updating the list item, you can create a ItemUpdated Event Receiver to track the update action, and in the event, you can judge the flag column value, if the value is No, then you can trigger the workflow programmatically and in the end of code set
    the code to Yes ,if the value is Yes, then not trigger the workflow.
    Here are some detailed code demos for your reference:
    How to set and read value of Yes/No column programmatically?

  • Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site?

    Can I create a fillable pdf form and then export it for client use on my web site?  I need clients to be able to fill in the (registration) form on my site then submit it via email.

  • Why can't I create Fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro and upload to Dreamweaver?

    I can create fillable PDF Forms using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can email them to someone using Adobe Reader (free) and they can fill them, save and email to me. But when I upload the form to Dreamweaver CS5, the form is not fillable. And yes, I saved it as a Reader Extended PDF-Enable Additional Features.

    I see no reason for this form to fail in Reader. Some questions for you.
    1. On the system with Adobe Reader, what is the system and the version of Adobe Reader?
    2. Are you viewing the PDF in a browser on the system with Reader, or in an Adobe Reader window?
    3. If it's a browser
    (a) what is the browser
    (b) if you download the file instead, and open directly in Reader, what happens?

    Hi All,
    I need to create FI documents using both amount in local currency and amount in document using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST. Please tell me how to do that.
    Chinmay

    Hi,
    Firstly get the exchange rate, do the calculation using the document currency amount and populate the local currency amount field.
    Whenever you use BAPI, use BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to commit the changes.
    Thanks & regards.

  • Has anyone found an app for creating fillable pdf forms on an ipad?

    I have found many apps that allow me to fill in already created fillable pdf forms on an ipad, but I'm wondering if there are any apps that allow the creation of PDF forms on an ipad?  (similar to adobe professional...?).  Thanks for your time!

    PDFpen pro can be used on the Mac to generate fillable forms.  It is much less expensive than Acrobat.
    For IOS, I would check out
    PDF Expert by Readdle
    DocuSign Ink
    I know the allow you to sign your name on PDF forms.
    I would think they can extend that to fillable forms.

  • In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list?

    In a fillable PDF form, can I have choose to have NO default choice in a drop down list... so that a user is REQUIRED to make selection instead?
    I've set the question as "required", but the default answer makes this useless.
    I want to make sure people actively answer this question rather than accidentally missing it, and me ending up with the default rather than the correct answer!

    Thanks Gilad.
    Similar to what you suggested, I utlimately opted to put a question mark "?" as the default answer - it's just a pity this doesn't address my need for users to be "required" to answer the question.

  • When creating a fillable PDF form can I add a password to only selected fields?

    I am creating a fillable form which will require data entry from several different people before being returned to my office. There are certain fields on the form that need to be restricted to personnel in my office only. I have tried to accomplish this restriction many different ways but have been unsuccessful.
    The closest I have come to accomplishing this restriction is by adding a "For HRO Only" button which I can use to hide certain fields from personnel outside of my office and unhide the text field when the button is clicked. This would be perfect if I could add a password to the button. Unfortunately this is either not possible or I haven't figured out how to do it which means that personnel outside of my office can still access the fields with a click of a button.
    The only other way I have thought of to accomplish this restriction is to mark those fields as "read only" but it seems as though it would be very time consuming for personnel in my office to complete the form due to the fact that they would have to open "edit form",  open the properties for each field requiring their input, and uncheck "read only" for each one.
    Any help/options/ideas you can provide will be greatly appreciate. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for the quick response. This will be a huge help! I hate to be a bother, but can you tell me the steps to create the script or give me a reference/resouce to use? I have used adobe products quite a bit, but this is my first time creating a PDF Fillable Form that will be distributed for use by several people so I am a little lost.
    Also, I seem to be running into one more problem that I am hoping you can help me figure out. On the form there is a question for the recipient  to answer by checking one of two boxes, yes or no. Depending on the answer an action is initiated. This feature works perfectly, however the issue is that when the recipient choses "yes" he/she is directed to fill out four additional fields that I currently have set as "required", but when the recipient choses "No" the four additional fields are hidden yet still required. This becomes an issue when the recipient has completed the form and tries to submit the form. An error message pops up notifying the user there are required fields that are empty and must be completed before submission.
    My thought is (in a perfect world) one of these two options would be ideal:
    1. When the "No" option is chosen the four additional fields are changed from required to not required, or
    2. When the "No" option is chose the four additional required fields are autopopulated with NA.
    Either remedy would work just fine, however I am open to suggestions... Again thank you so much for your help with my previous question and thank you in advance for any information/help/advice you can provide in regards to my second question. 

  • Problem in creating new field using AET

    Hi ,
    We are facing a problem while creating a new field using AET.
    [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414900)ID0190611650DB01471683520393954021End?blog=/pub/wlg/12716]
    Im following this blog while creating the new field using AET.
    After filling all the field details and trying to create a Transport request its going for a runtime error.
    The error is happening in class  CL_CRM_GENIL_AXT_API
    method get_editable_properties.
      data lr_field_ext type ref to cl_genil_field_extension.
      field-symbols <axt_field_extension> type gtype_field_extension.
      data lr_fieldext_ref type ref to if_axt_field_ext_access.
      read table axt_field_extension_tab assigning <axt_field_extension> with key ext_bo       = is_key-ext_bo

      lr_field_ext = <axt_field_extension>-axt_extension.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
    While Debugging we can see that the table axt_field_extension_tab  is having zero values during the last execution.
    But the Zfield is getting generated and the status is in green.
    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    you posted the same question again in a later post.
    Here is my answer:
    Hi,
    the reason that AET does not work is because there is/are missing entries in one of DB table.
    Namely the enhance BO assignment to the UI Object Type.
    Could you please tell me, what is the UI Object Type in you current IC application.
    In order to figure this out, you can put mouse cursor in one of the field in the UI and then press F2.
    Then you can go to SM30 in SAP GUI open the View BSPDLCV_OBJ_TYPE and search for the UI object type.
    Select the UI object type and see whether any enhanced BO is defined.
    In your case it should be empty, otherwise you can use AET in IC.
    And if it is empty we need to figure out which enhanced BO is relevant for the given UI Object Type.
    Regards,
    Steve
    P.S. But still you can raise a CSN message.
    The "Create New Field" should be in active mode.

  • How to created calculated field that is a hyperlink

    I am trying to create a hyperlink in a calculated field.  The text string renders, but only part of it is a hyperlink. I used this syntax:
    https://domain/sites/itd/SBTD/TSG/General%20Documents/Forms/by%20Document%20Category.aspx?View={373A9A36-C01A-4616-BADA-065DEEBC44C0}&FilterField1=Agreement&FilterValue1=IAA 2011-12-13
    Then, based on this article:
    http://blog.pathtosharepoint.com/2008/09/01/how-to-open-hyperlinks-in-a-new-window-or-not/,  I tried writing it as HTML like this:
    =CONCATENATE("<a href=’”,”https://domain/sites/itd/SBTD/TSG/General%20Documents/Forms/by%20Document%20Category.aspx?View={373A9A36-C01A-4616-BADA-065DEEBC44C0}&FilterField1=Agreement&FilterValue1=",Agreement Number,”’>”,documents,”</a>”).
    That got my an error regarding illegal syntax.
    Does anyone know how to do this in the UI?
    There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

    Where are you trying to get the "IAA
    2011-12-13" from?
    By the look of what you are trying to do, this would read the value from a column called "Agreement Number" and embed
    it in to the URL. Do you have a column called "Agreement Number"?
