Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
Type: Numeric field
Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
display pattern: zzz9
data pattern: zzz9
data format: Integer
When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

  • Dynamically change the pattern of numeric field in adobe

    I am using a adobe form to display Sales order ouput.
    I have a requirement that for some kind of sales order the quantity field should be displayed with 2 decimal places and for some with 4 decimal places.
    So i have made the field in the form with display pattern = z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99
    and writing a FromCalc script as below.
    if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
    Format ("z,zzz,zzz,zz9.9999", data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.value)
    endif
    i also tried
    if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
    data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.format = "z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99"
    endif
    The problem is i am not able to understand what statement to be used to change the format of a numeric field.
    When i replace the second code with
    data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.presence = "hidden"
    this functionality works. Which means i need to correct statement for pattern change of a numeric field.

    Or if somebody can provide me with alternative solution is also welcom.
    My requirement is a quanity field in the adobe form would be displaying either with 2 decimal place or 4 decimal place based on some condition.

  • How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

    hi all,
    Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
    Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
    Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Prabhu

    Hi,
    Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
    In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
    <quan field> NE initial.
    So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

  • How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
    Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
    or
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ",  this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
    If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
    The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
    There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

  • Century gothic displays in adobe reader 8 and not in 9

    Hi
    I have created a pdf using adobe livecycle and i have set the address font in my header to Century Gothic. When i view the doc in Adobe reader 8, it shows it exactly the way i want. When i view it in adobe 9, it has changed to arial. Why is this happening? and how can i prevent it from changing when viewed in the different versions of adobe reader?
    Also, it doesnt make sense to say that the font is supported in adobe 8 and NOT in 9. Surely capability should be backward compatible?
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Fatima

    Hi Hitender
    The document does not show the correct font in Adobe Reader 9.0. We have now downgraded our adobe reader on the server where we are printing the docs from.  We have tried installing the font onto that server but that was also unsuccessful.
    Please let me know if you have any advice for my problem.
    Thanks

  • Fixinf Blank Fields in Adobe reader 11

    I am using Adobe Reader 11 and I get lots of forms sent to me. Some of them have blank fields when I open them up but the content shows when I click on the field itself. My research on the web seems to indicate that these are forms sent from MACs. Is this still the case? I found a custom script that is supposed to fix it but it does not seem to work in Reader 11. Any suggestions?
    Thanks All.

    Windows Installation:
    Enter “%appdata%” in the file Explorer window path bar and press enter. Depending on the version of Windows you are using, you’ll end up in a different folder but in all cases you should see an “Adobe” folder in the location that just opened.
    Open the “Adobe” folder. You should see an “Acrobat” folder within the “Adobe” folder.
    Open the “Acrobat” folder if you have Acrobat. If you are a Reader user, you may need to create a folder and name it “Acrobat”.
    Continue the instructions based on the version of Acrobat or Reader you have.
      Acrobat 9.x 
    You should see a “9.0” folder within the “Acrobat” folder.
    Open the “9.0” folder.
    If you see a “JavaScripts” folder, open it. If not, create it.
    Move “PPDF_fixFields.js” to the “JavaScripts” folder.
    Restart Acrobat if it’s running.
      Acrobat X and XI 
    If not already present, create a new folder called “Privileged” within the “Acrobat” folder.
    Open the “Privileged” folder.
    If not already present and depending on your version, create a folder named either “10.0” or “11.0”. In the remaining instructions, I’ll refer to this as the “version number folder”
    Open the version number folder.
    If not already present, create a new folder called “JavaScripts” within the version number folder.
    Open the “JavaScripts” folder.
    Move “PPDF_fixFields.js” to the “JavaScripts” folder.
    Restart Acrobat or Reader if it’s running.

  • Saving PDF forms in Adobe Reader 8 and below

    Hi everyone,
    I've created a PDF form for a survey using Acrobat XI Pro, and I've also Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save). I've tried it on Reader 9, X and XI, and I'm able to fill out the form, save it and email it back to myself. I've also emailed it to a few of my friends to try out the form and email it back to me, and most of them are able to do so.
    But the problem is one of my friends who's using Reader 8 is unable to save the completed form. This message comes out when he tries to save it:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    I've tried reading about this problem online, but I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer anywhere. I'm not sure if anyone knows of a way to overcome this, or if it's just simply that Adobe Reader 8 and below are unable to save a PDF form.
    Please help, I'm really at my wit's end.

    Windows Vista.
    I'm trying to make sure my form works for every one of my respondents, as I can't be sure what kind of Reader versions each respondent will be using.

    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
