How to create a form that can auto-populate all fields based on a specific selection?

We have created a template for each type of package used in our business.  The template is the same but depending on the package selected, the fields would be populated differently.  How can we create a template to load the fields based on the specific package selected?  We use Adobe Acrobat Pro in creating the templates.

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (http://formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Acrobat/PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums:http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_windows
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

  • Using JavaScript to auto populate a field based on numeric value of a separate drop down field

    Hello, I am trying to set up a simple, I hope, javascript which will enable to me auto populate one field based on the numberic value of another field using Acrobat Pro XI.
    Essentially I have 2 drop down fields (we'll call them DD1 and DD2).
    DD1 is the sum of 8 preceding drop down values. That sum can be anywhere from 0 - 40. Whatever that sum falls within a range which identifies a rating. The ratings and ranges are below:
    0-8: Non-Performer  
    9-16: Low Performer  
    17-24: Performer  
    25-32: High Performer  
    33-40: Exceptional Performer
    DD2 is where the rating ("non-performer", "low performer", etc.) will be captured. Instead of requiring the user to look at DD1, determine the value, and then identify and input the rating manually, I would like DD2 to auto populate the rating based on the value (sum) in DD1.
    For example, if DD1 shows a value of 27 then DD2 would auto populate "High Performer". So how do I write this code or execute this? In excel I would use an if, then statement. Is there something similar in Acrobat Pro XI.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    If you use a text field, the custom calculation script could be:
    // Custom calculation script for text field
    (function () {
        var s = getField("DD1").valueAsString;
        // Blank this field if input is blank
        if (!s) {
            event.value = "";
            return;
        // Convert string to number
        var v = +s;
        // Set this field's value based on the input
        if (v <= 40 && v >= 33) {
            event.value = "Exceptional Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 33 && v >= 25) {
            event.value = "High Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 25 && v >= 17) {
            event.value = "Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 17 && v >= 9) {
            event.value = "Low Performer";
            return;
        if (v < 9 && v >= 0) {
            event.value = "Non-Performer";
            return;
        // If none of the above fit, blank this field
        event.value = "";

  • How do I create a form that can be edited, then mailed, then edited again?

    I am trying to create a form that would be emailed to one person, they would complete part of it, email it on to a second user who would then complete another part based on the input from the first, and then forward it onto a third for their input.
    the issue I have is that once the second person enters their information, they can not save their additions and continue the process.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Interactive forms cannot be saved locally using Reader. To do local save you either have to have Acrobat on each desktop or have the form Reader-extended to enable local save in Reader. A form is Reader-enabled using the LiveCycle Reader Extensions server component.

  • How to create a form that requires thousands of checkboxes?

    Hello forum members,
    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional.  I've been searching the internet/forums for the past few hours and I can't seem to find any information on how to create a form with many checkboxes.  I do not want to have to give individual names to thousands of checkboxes.  I'm hoping there's an easy solution to my problem.  Maybe I don't even need to use checkboxes.
    Here it is...
    I'm a DJ and wedding season is coming up.  For each wedding that I do, I usually give the bride and groom a list of my songs and they choose a bunch of songs that they'd like to have at their reception.  In the past, I've just been sending them a webpage word document with the songs and they'd send me their selections in a different document or directly in the reply email.  I'd like to make this process easy for them (and myself) by making a pdf document where they can simply place a checkmark beside the songs that they want and then send it back to me.  As a bonus (if it's possible) i'd like to be able to export the songs that they selected into a separate document so that I don't have to go through the entire pdf (with thousands and thousands of songs) when they send it back to me.
    I would be ever greatful if somebody help me or direct me to a link with some additional information.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    George, thank you very much for your quick reply and good advice.

  • Best way to create a form that can be emailed and also secured down.

    Hi,
    I work in a manufacturing company that tests each raw material as it comes in the door. The results from the tests are currently handwritten on a template form that is printed first. The sheets are then sent to another department who types up the results and saves them individually as a Word document. There is a HUGE paper trail and increased margin for error. Not to mention the sheer time!
    I am trying to streamline the process is a little by creating a PDF form in which the results can be entered and the form emailed to the other department. I know how to create the form and add a "submit" button which opens up the Outlook client. However, I want to make sure the form cannot be saved by the lab personnel, instead I want to give them the abilty to enter the data and email.Thisis an interim solution until a proper lab management system can be put into place.
    What is the best practice around something like this? Any other suggestions or tips will be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Can I somehow collect the data in another software such as Excel?
    I would still need the PDF form completed and emailed over but if I can collect the data externally, that would be nice.

  • Create a form that can either end in "Submit" or "Process Payment" depending on the selected fields

    I have designed a Golf Tournament Registration form that includes a multiple choice field with 4 payment options
    1) Pay Online
    2) Mail a Check
    3) Direct Deposit
    4) Other
    When Option 1 is selected, the form should redirect the registee to the PayPal payments page that has already loaded personal information from the earlier fields
    When Option 2, 3, & 4 are selected, the form should redirect the registee to applicable information about how to proceed
    HOWEVER: the submission button at the bottom of Options 2-4 still reads "Proceed to Payment" which is confusing for golf participants who have elected to mail a check.
    *Is there a way to customize the submission button to elimate this possible confusion?

    So I see that I am not the only one with this question and that part of my question has been answered here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4399918#4399918#4399918
    HOWEVER: is there no way to change the wording on the PayPal "Proceed to Checkout" button?  I just want it to say "Submit"

  • How to create a vi that can be connected to any type of array

    I would enjoy to create a vi that can perform an operation (like resizing) on any type of array (array of string, of cluster, of num,...): Which type of control or indicator could I use for this purpose? Any Idea?
    Thank's for your help

    Olivier,
    to do this you have to use a variant input. You can wire any type of data to a variant input. Inside the VI you flatten the variant to a string. The flattened string of an array contains both data and length of the array. You reshape the array manipulating the string. When done, you unflatten the data to a variant and output it from the VI. The caller has to convert the variant input to the source array type. OpenG.org provides a quite extensive toolkit to manipulate variant data. Some VIs specifically manipulates arrays. To see a description of VIs go to : http://opengtoolkit.sourceforge.net/lvdata/index.html
    LabVIEW Data Tools can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/
    You need both packages lvdata AND error.

  • How to create Infopath form that auto populate data from one list to be fill by another user?

    hi.  I would like to ask, how to create form that fill by User A, for example, and then the User A assigned task to User B to complete the form. Next, the form will be approved by approver. May I know how to do
    that? and if possible, I do not want to use any programming code.
    Azuaniza Ariffin

    Hi,
    If your SharePoint environment supports InfoPath Forms, then you can customize the form and add rules to make the list items as read only when user A submits the form.
    you can then write a form load event to check the logged in user using username() function. This logic can be implemented in variety of ways, like setting a flag when User A submits the form, or storing user A username in a form variable etc., else comparing
    User A and User B values within form Load event.
    Another way of doing this is using Views or grouping all of the User A fields within a section etc.,
    The above would take care of Form logic, and for the workflow, you can use SharePoint designer to create a custom workflow, where it will run on onItemCreate and onItemChange events.
    The logic for workflow would be if the form Submitted for the first time, the workflow will start and send an email to User B, and when User B submits the Data then onItemChange change event will start the workflow to send an email to approver to approve
    the data.

  • How do I create a form that can be filled out, saved with data, and returned?

    We don't want to use EchoSign or any kind of service or account. We just want to send a form to clients via email and have them returned to us with their data. Simple. Intuitive. Requires virtually no explanation or bother. Why can't I find any way to do this in Acrobat any more? Is it hidden, or completely disabled? (Acrobat Pro 10.1.7)

    In Acrobat you can Reader-enable the file. For Acrobat 11, the menu item to do this is: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
    Do this as the last step before you distribute the form. Note that this isn't needed for Reader 11 since it is capable of saving a non-enabled PDF form that was created with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Designer).

  • How to create a form that people can fill out

    I'm creating forms using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with the goal  being to save the form on a network drive so users may access the form,  fill out the form fields and save the file. Currently, users are not  able to complete the form; it requires them to print out the form in  order to complete. I am very techno-ignorant, so I sure that it is user  error. Any guidance towards resources or assistance would be greatly  appreaciated

    In order:
    - have they Acrobat Reader, and are they able to use it?
    - are your form correct? (permissions settings, etc etc)
    - Are you creating your form from zero or from another documents?

  • Create Livecycle form that can not be overwritten - (template)

    I have forms saved in a central location (folder) on our company network. Is there a way to create a Livecycle form that has Reader extended features enabled and can act as a master template requiring the form to be saved to a different name when saved, protecting the template? (Like a Word .dot)

    Scott (past-tense) has the easy answer.  Of course, it does not stop someone from changing the Read Only setting, unless this is on a server and the security settings are used instead of the file's properties.
    Another possibility COULD be to use the form's preSave event to chack for the file name and change it if the original template is open.  the problem is that this probably requires a client side script file with a function to chang the file name.  I don't think it can be in a script in the file. It may not even be possible at all.  The preSave event occurs before the file is saved, but cannot be used to stop the file from being saved. The idea would be to make sure the template file name is not used when the file is saved.  Not knowing the preSave event too well, though, I cannot say if changing the name would be applied before the save or not.
    The file's top form presave would be something similar to:
    if (event.target.documentFileName == "template.pdf")
                        //Change the file name to be saved.
    See here for some guidance on setting the file name
