Data into various fields in a PDF Form

Hi,
I don't know whether this is the right place but I have been trying to figure out how to get different a field to change depending on the input of a different field. For example, the price price field being altered when the product field is changed. Similar to the 'if' formaula in an Excel Spreadsheet.
Also, what is the maximum number of data fields you can have in a drop down box as I can not get more than 20?
Thanks!!
J

Bingo!
Cheers for that George - I didn't know about that option - I'd been everywhere in the field and tab order and been wracking my brain over the calculations - Sum(+) and Product(x) fields - I'd just assumed that the total given that it was the Sum(+) of 14 values would always be well... the total?
Anyhow thanks for that.

  • I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form into Microsoft Word or notepad....Help! thank you!

    I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form I created in Adobe X Pro into a Microsoft Word or Notepad document. Please help! Thank you!!

    I have created a fillable form. Part of the information from that form needs to be copied and sent to another department at work. Once i complete the fillable form (e.g. select options from a drop down, enter test in test boxes that are on the form) when i copy that section, i only get the non-fillable information pasted into word or notepad, the drop down selections and fillable text do not copy.

  • I am looking for a way to enter multiple dates into a field without the form becoming too long.

    I am looking for a way to enter multiple dates into a field without the form becoming too long.
    This will be used by an old school bookeeper who needs the form to fit on one page.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    If you don't need the field to provide a date picker, verify it's a date, or don't need to sort the dates in the table, you can just use a text area field, and have your form filler enter the dates comma separated.  Otherwise you'd have to add multiple fields.  However, you can lessen the space each field takes up veritically, by using the "Labels Left" option (in the toolbar).
    Thanks,

  • Table fields to match pdf form

    I found this on my formscentral help file.
    Note: Some types of form fields aren’t supported when you import a PDF form. For example, text fields with formatting applied, such as numeric or percentage fields, are converted to plain text fields. And, signature fields aren’t converted, as Adobe FormsCentral doesn’t support this type of field.
    For more information, see Issues encountered while importing an existing PDF form.
    http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2533
    What I have experienced.
    Formscentral does not allow you to format the table in their views when you use a pdf as the form, only if you use the online form.
    I found that when out when I got 6 decimal points when multiplying tax, which was .04166. On the pdf it defaults to 2 decimals.
    Another thing I noticed. My pdf form date field was set to MM/dd/YY. When I just put in 5/06 in that field, on the pdf form it auto corrected it to 05/06/13. When that pdf form was submitted to formscentral, that field showed 5/06. So it is pulling exactly what you input into the pdf form regardless of how the pdf form corrects your mistakes.
    My real question is if Formscentral Is working to allow you to set the table format to work with pdf's too?
    If not are you working to add calculated fields to the online form?
    Not complaining just wanting. The product is awsome as is but this would take it a step further.

  • Javascript to fill text field from other PDF form

    I am trying to figure out if it is possible to add javascript to a text field that when initiated pulls text from another field in a closed pdf in the same directory.
    For example I have a NAME field in the pdf form I am working in....
    When I initiate the script the NAME field is filled in with the same data from another PDF that is closed.

    I have looked up the 'disclosed' property and it looks like that is what I want to do..
    I have "this.disclosed = true" in a PDF with the name field. On the other PDF that I want the information replicated I am going to add a javascript to an action somewhere on the document, my problem is which script do I use to get this data from the other pdf?  Is the pdf that is now accessible via javascript (disclosed) a data object?

  • Preferance pane window keeps popping open when entering search or data into any fields. I'm also using 1Password and it happens when trying to enter a password

    I'm running on Mac OS X 10.7.4, Firefox 14.0.1. This issue didn't exist until this most recent Firefox update. Basically, a preference pane opens every time data is being entered into a field. It doesn't seem to be the same preference pane that you see when you open the preferences through the normal Firefox access ie. Firefox > Preferences. All of the choices listed in this particular preference pane are specific to Firefox though. I have a screen capture that I could include if wanted. When using 1Password the pane appears, when entering a search in the search bar near the address bar the pane pops up, when entering data into any field as I am now filling in this detail report the pane also pops up. It's quite annoying. Any advice? I'm going to systematically attempt to quit any add-ons and see if that makes a difference. I ave already tried doing a reinstall to no avail.

    I think a screen shot would be helpful. There is a box below the compose area of a reply to upload files.

  • Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

    I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

    So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?

  • How do I auto populate the date into text fields when form is first opened?

    Hello,
    I read all about the changing the scripts but its not really working for me. I was hoping someone could help me with directions on how to auto populate the date into designated text fields when my adobe document is first opened?
    I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9.
    Thank you,
    Sheri

    When you add a new document JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Script Name (enter something) > Add), you will be given a function skeleton by default. Just delete it and enter the line of code I showed above. Now, whenever the document is opened, the code will get triggered and the field will be updated with the current date. There is no "Document Open" action (at least that's accessible via Acrobat's UI), but this is effectively the same thing since any document-level JavaScripts are executed when the document is opened.

  • How to import database created in Excel to appropriate fields in a PDF form?

    I am trying to use Database created in Excel to fill multiple PDF Visa application forms.
    The fields in PDF forms are basically the same except the order of appearance on the
    form could be different. However the field names remain the same in all PDF Visa Application forms.
    Can anyone make me wiser?
    Appreciate all suggestions.
    Sajith Panduka

    If you export to a tab delimited format and the first row contains the exact field names of the fields in the form (order doesn't matter), then you can import a row of data into the form using Acrobat. You can also automate the process using JavaScript in Acrobat.

  • How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

    I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral.  We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
    How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
    We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table.  I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
    Please help???

    What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"?  What is the "Pdf structure"? 
    thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
    We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
    Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that.  Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

  • Can you copy multiple fields in a pdf form and paste them elsewhere?

    I have created forms in Adobe Standard 9 and have posted them on our company intranet for users to access. All the forms work well, but one group would like to be able to copy and paste the form data into our call tracking software for future reference. It can be achieved now by copying and pasting each field one at a time. My question is there a way to copy more than one field at a time and paste the data elsewhere as even simple text, no font recognition required.
    Kerry N

    Thanx graffiti, you're right that Adobe 9 Standard had that option and it saves it as a seperate .txt file. and you can cut and paste from there. What I was hoping for was a Reader 7, 8 or 9 copy and paste solution, like the Adode version of "shift + c" to choose and add individual cells in Excel.
    Any tricks of shortcuts would be appreciated.
