Help needed in distributing the form

Hello All ,
I have a LiveCycle form which has 6-8 Pages.The completed document needs to be protected after distributing so that it cannot be reproduced, but allow us to add, change, edit delete contents as required and especially to populate what is now marked as protected. How to do this in the best way. One thing I have very less idea about distributing a form. Can anybody please help regarding this ?
Thanks.
Bibhu.

You can use JavaScript to protect all form fields.
Bundled with a password you can design a workflow wich allows you to remove the rotection when needed.
Here's an example:

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

Is there a way track who you have distributed the form to and who has responded? If yes, is there a way to message all that have not responded?

Is there a way track who you have distributed the form to and who has responded? If yes, is there a way to message all that have not responded? This would be a great way to manage supplier questionnaires to ensure everyone is providing information back to you.

FormsCentral, itself, does not have a method of distributing forms, so it would not know about your distribution list. It's either an open online form, which can be gotten to by anyone with the URL, or it's a pdf, which could be distributed via e-mail or a web page download.
You can always track the completion of the form by looking in the form's collected data set. Then, you could work backward to contact those recipients who have not yet responded. But that means you need to keep track of where the form was sent, or at least know which people/companies were supposed to get the form.
I hope that helps,

Help needed to optimize the query

Help needed to optimize the query:
The requirement is to select the record with max eff_date from HIST_TBL and that max eff_date should be > = '01-Jan-2007'.
This is having high cost and taking around 15mins to execute.
Can anyone help to fine-tune this??
   SELECT c.H_SEC,
                c.S_PAID,
                c.H_PAID,
                table_c.EFF_DATE

                      from hist_tbl b
                     where eff_date >= to_date('01-jan-2007', 'dd-mon-yyyy')

I need to clear the form after saving and also I made the Update Allowed property to 'NO' as client per requirement. So, every time after saving the form, I am getting an error message 'Update is not allowed on this form' . in order to avoid this message after saving I want to close this form and open it again.
Also I need to clear the datablock. where can I clear the datablock after saving it.

Is there a way to distribute the forms as HTML email?

Is there a way to distribute the forms as HTML emails?
Thanks,
K

The only thing I can think of is to leave the email as a draft and add a reminder (using the "Reminders" app) to send it at a certain day and time.
The other way would be to create a calendar event to which you attach an script that sends the email.

How to keep submit button script when distribute the form.

When I distribute the form, the Submit button changes with a default message and all my job is lost.
Is ther any way to resolve my problem?

Steps
1. make a page with Submit Button and message Style Text item.
2. Handle submit Button in Controller.
3. Find current date and set for message Style Text item.

Cron job help- Need to run the Autobuddy command every night...

I have not written anything in the form of a Unix script for YEARS and YEARS. Our XServe was built in Advanced mode, currently running 10.5.4 Server. On this box, we are running Wiki and iChat. Since we built this box as an Advanced box the "Autobuddy" option was not available.
I have since enabled it at the command line, but I am told by Apple that there still needs to be a command run after every time a user logs in if you want others to Autobuddy. That command is this:
"sudo /usr/bin/jabber_autobuddy -m"
Now I think this would be pretty easy to setup as an automatic cron script, but like I said, I have not written something like this in forever. Not to mention, I am not 100% sure what needs to happen since running the script with an sudo command will prompt for the root password.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me write the script up, and give me some instructions on how to install it. I just want it run everyday, midnight is fine, I don't really care. All I know is that we have a dept of 150 people, and it grows and shrinks all the time. They can deal with a new user not being seen for 24-48 hours, I just want to get this automated.
Any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Tom

If you want to keep it simple try [CronniX|http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix] a graphical tool for setting up CRON jobs on OSX. Whilst I have not actually done an autobuuddy in this way, I cannot see any reason why it will not run as a Cron Job.
The proper way ideally would be to use the launchd service.
Something like this should work:

HT204053 i bought an used ipad and need to delete the former owner's apple id how and use mine?

I bought a used iPad1 that has the former user's apple id. I have an apple id myself that i can use to purchase apps, etc.
1. However, do i need to reset the device to use my ID? I've made purchases from my laptop and need to sync them to the ipad.
2. My latop is authorized and all the connectivity tests etc are ok. I get the message do I want to erase my library when i sync. there was music that i like on the device when i got it. I don't want to lose it by saying yes to deleting it. Oh yeah i don't think this music is in the itunes on the ipad. what can i do?
Can't you see i don't know where to go, help me please!

You should log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you should then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings to put it back to factory settings (which the previous owner should have done) - you can then sync your own content to it.

Help needed in using the appropriate Trigger

I have a master detail form.DEPT block is the master block and Employee is Detail block.I need to display the message when user is
trying to enter the ENAME field in the Employee block(detail) when the DEPTNO in the DEPT block(master) is not equal to 10.
Messgae should be displayed when user trying to type the value but not when the user navigates into the ENAME text field.
What is the appropriate trigger that is useful here?
Thanks.
GSR

If the DEPT block is table based in the block's POST-QUERY trigger you can simply set
if :DEPT.DEPTNO !=10 then
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', insert_allowed, property_false);
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', update_allowed, property_false);
else
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', insert_allowed, property_true);
    set_item_proerty('DEPT.ENAME', update_allowed, property_true);
end if;if the block is a non-database one then you can put that code in EMPNAME's WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger

Help needed for dynamic update form

I could really use some advice - I've been asked to build a time tracking application (basically a timesheet) and I have a fair bit done but the part I am really struggling with is the best way to accommodate some of the specifications. I am NOT a programmer (I have some coldfusion experience but nothing really advanced) so I have not managed to sucessfully integrate the various methods I've found on the web so far. The database is created and so are all the queries, and I have also written a cfc to handle the drop-down menu logic needed but I don't really know how to integrate it with the form.
Our production server has ColdFusion MX7 so all the great functionality in the CF8 examples I can't use.
The issue is the user should ideally be able to add/edit/delete multiple rows at once- I like CFGRID, and the HTML version seems best. The main issue with the Flash version is the scrolling to get to the insert/delete buttons- I couldn't see how to get rid of that. A separate add and edit form could be ok depending on how easy it is to use.
One problem I have is that I can't work out how to have default values with the grid (the userID which is a session variable, and the date which is constantly changing- there is a cfcalendar for the user to change date).
The biggest hurdle is the related select drop-downs I need- it's not quite as simple as the city,state,postcode examples. For the first drop down the pick an option- and for only 2 of those options there is a second drop-down. Anything else and it stops there. For the second drop-down, there are 2 options, and depending on which one of these they pick the 3rd drop-down pulls a query from one or another table in the database (2 entirely different things). The three options have different database tables. The main timesheet table just stores the id number from those tables (so I also need to display the names on the drop-down from the options tables not the number).
I played with simple and complicated javascript and coldfusion solutions as well, but because it's a form to update records and also because of the above specs I just couldn't get anything to work right. I tried binding with the cfc and nothing would bind, plus I don't know how to make all happen without a page reload.
Does anyone have any advice for the best approach to this? As I mentioned I've got tables, queries and even a cfc but I'm not too clear on how to put it all together properly within the constraints of MX7.
PS I also can't post a lot of code because of where I work- I know that's not helpful but am looking for the best approach to this, then I can work on the details. Right now I am jumping from solution to solution and not getting anywhere.

Well, a lot of code has come and gone because I couldn't make it work, where I'm currently at is:
<cfform name="updateform" id="updateform" action="#CurrentPage#?#CGI.QUERY_STRING#">
<cfgrid name="MainData" height="400" insertbutton="add" deletebutton="remove" query="getMainData" insert="yes" delete="yes" rowheight="20" selectmode="edit" format="html">
<cfgridcolumn name="id" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="userID" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="entrydate" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="activityID" >
<cfgridcolumn name="typeID">
<cfgridcolumn name="projectID" values="#ValueList(getProjects.id)#" valuesdisplay="#ValueList(getProjects.name)#">
<cfgridcolumn name="time" width="10">
<cfgridcolumn name="comment" width="150">
</cfgrid>
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#Session.username#">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="entrydate" value="#editdate#">
<cfinput name="update" type="Submit" value="Update">
</cfform>
** for some reason getProjects.name doesn't work and causes an error. I haven't worked out how to get the default inputs for the date and user ID to work either. I also tried binding and a flash form somewhere along the way.
** the CFC is below, #ds# didn't work and I had to put in the actual DSN name, not sure why, but anyway this is the logic of the thing. Ideally I would like to use this logic with the cfgrid, but I'm not sure if that is possible? It seems like it would be the most user friendly approach.
The CFC so far is:
<cfcomponent>
   <cffunction name="getActivities" access="remote" returnType="query">
        <cfquery name="getActivities" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT * FROM timesheet_activities
</cfquery>
        <cfreturn getActivities>
    </cffunction>
    <cffunction name="getTypes" access="remote" returnType="query">
    <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
    <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "">
        <cfset getType = "">
    <cfelse>
        <cfquery name="getTypes" datasource="#ds#">
        SELECT * FROM timesheet_type
        </cfquery>
    </cfif>
    <cfreturn getTypes>
    </cffunction>
    <cffunction name="GetProjects" access="remote" returnType="query">
    <cfargument name="Activity" type="any" required="true">
    <cfargument name="Type" type="any" required="true">
    <cfif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "" OR ARGUMENTS.Type EQ "">
        <cfset LstProjects = "">
    <cfelseif ARGUMENTS.Activity EQ "1" OR "3">
    <cfquery name="getProjects" datasource="#ds#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsa
WHERE completed = 'false'
</cfquery>
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="getEProjects" datasource="#dse#">
SELECT id,name FROM projectsb
WHERE statusID = '6'
</cfquery>
    </cfif>
    <cfreturn getProjects>
    </cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Any attempts to actually use the cfc didn't work. I tried to use it with a normal html update form and got the message- failed to bind, Activity didn't exist. I also tried to bind it to a flash grid. The argument for Activity needs to come from the drop-down Activity type selected. Maybe I'm missing something.
ETA:
just moved everything to the live MX7 server (because my dev server is Coldfusion8) and I get the following:
Attribute validation error for tag CFGRID. The tag does not allow the attribute(s) BINDONLOAD,BIND.
Does this mean I definitely can't use the CFC with the cfgrid on MX7? Or is there a way to do it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Unless I am reading this incorrectly, in Acrobat Help, webpage http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html, it looks like step 5 under header "Distribute (send) forms to recipients" is incomplete.

Help needed with PCR Interactive Forms.

Hello,
We are trying to get a prototype system going to show HR some WebDynpro and Adobe Forms technology. I'm focusing on our PCR's right now. I have fixed one problem by configuring the ABAP WAS in the java visual admin http destinations. I now want to take our ISR's and map them to adobe forms in QISRSCENARIO. I am looking at the available forms and wish to configure.
- Transfer an Employee out of my Org - ISR_FORM_SPTR - The inactive SPTR form displays the following "The creation of this form has not yet been completed. Therefore, you cannot use the form at this time. The finished form will be available with the next release.SAP AG "
- Move an Employee to a Vacancy in My Org - ISR_FORM_???? - This may be some old custom development on our part because I'm seeing nothing close in ISR forms.
- Change an Employee in Current Position - ISR_FORM_SPPD - Displays form after a popup shows soem formcalc errors.
- Separate an Employee - ISR_FORM_SPSD - Displays form
- Change Working Time of an Employee - ISR_FORM_SPWT - Displays form after a popup shows soem formcalc errors.
This is just a prototype so I'm not lookign to mesh all out pcr customizations. I do have some questions though.
I can't seem to find anything telling me what adobe forms are delivered for a particular version of SAP. We are on ECC5.0.
Is a form marked inactive simply not delivered? If not how do I activate?
Basically we'll want to be using adobe forms wherever delivered for ECC50. Any pointers to documentation on what's delivered vs. what I'm seeing in QISRSCENARION would be greatly appreciated as well as any general docs on working with, modifying forms.
Thanks,
Doug
