Pre-Populate Text Filed Adobe X Pro Form

All,
I appreciate any assistance you can give. I am looking for a way to have text fields pre-populate information after a user selects an item from a dropdown menu.
For example:
Dropdown menu 1: User selects South Carolina
Drop Down menu 2: User selects product name
Text fields populate with the product information.
Dropdown 1 and 2 will dictate what product information will be displayed.
Is this possible? I have attached a screen shot to see what I am looking to do. Please let me know! Thank you!!!

The product information would have to be in the form and not linked to an external source. So lets say the user selects SC on dropdown 1. They then select Timberline on dropdown 2. The SC selection will be rule to have a specific set of product options to have in the dropdown. When the user selects Timberline in dropdown 2, the information in the text fields would have to auto-populate for information only available in the SC state and that specific product.
For text box 1 (header is Colors Available) this would generate the words Black, White, Green, Blue. These would be loaded possibly in that text box? These colors are available for SC. Now, if the user would select NC in dropdown 1, and Timberline in dropdown 2, it would display a different set of colors available in text box 1 (Colors Available) such as Orange, Grey, etc.
This is essential how it would work for the text fields. The triggers would be based on the state and product selected in the drop down boxes which would autopopulate the rest of the text boxes per section.
Does this help? Thank you for the reply.

Adobe 9 Pro Forms-email results

I have adobe 9 pro and am making an electronic form. I would like when the user hits submit for it to email an address. My issue is I can't have it be an attachment, is there any way to configure the form to email the field names with the input?

You can have then submit the .xml (information from the form fields only) then import it into the original form on your end but, it will still be an attachment.
Have you considered creating a web form that will generate an email to you that contains all the information from the form fields and nothing else?
Seems to me that having something like that on your company intranet would be best.

Adobe X Pro - forms

I am trying to create a new form. It takes me to the Adobe Forms Central. I found a template I like and made my changes. It will not let me save it as a pdf without paying for an account.
How can I use templates in my Adobe X Pro that I already own without having to pay for a forms central account?

Hi;
I wanted to double check if you are using Acrobat Pro X or Acrobat Pro XI.
If you are using Acrobat Pro X it does not give you any extra features with FormsCentral, you would have to either have a paid FormsCentral account or upgrade your Acrobat to Acrobat XI.
If you are using Acrobat Pro XI (or if you were to pay a one time upgrade fee instead of the monthly FormsCentral subscription) you could use the included "FormsCentral Desktop application" and save forms as PDF. Singing into the web site would not give you that feature, only using the desktop application, it is something you get with your Acrobat XI purchase... So if you do have Acrobat XI and tried to save PDF from the web site, simply launch the FormsCentral application from Acrobat (I can give you more detail on how to run the application if needed) and you will have the option to save PDF.
I hope that clarifies, let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Josh

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

Adobe X Pro Form Fields

In Acrobat 8, I was able to justify a form field to left, center, or right and also vertically justify the field box to either top, center, or bottom. Right now, all my form fields are vertically centered. I want teh form field when filled to be bottom aligned to it prints on the lines of my form.
I can't figure out the new Adobe X...the old way was much easier. Any help?

Text fields created in LiveCycle Designer allow that. Text fields created in Acrobat can be vertically centered or bottom aligned, but only if it's set up for rich text formatting and the user selects it. The point is you as the form creator cannot set the vertical justification for a field created in Acrobat.

Getting rid of a box around text in adobe acrobat pro

What product we need on the server to pre-populate XFA form created using LiveCycle Designer?

We run our web applications on IBM Lotus Notes/Domino server (Version 8.5.3). I need to figure out what is that specific server component that we need to install on our server just to pre-populate data on to the XFA forms. (We don't need to merge PDF files, or attach any workflow, or submit data entered in the XFA forms to any web server.)
I understand that Adobe LiveCycle ES4 is a suite of products that does a lot more than what we need to do. So, in that suit of products which specific product is that we need to buy & install on our server that enables us to use java code to populate data on to the XFA forms. Also, will that server component work on IBM Lotus Notes/Domino server or is it only going to work on a J2EE server?
I appreciate a response. Thanks.

I am sorry, but I am still confused. Out of the following modules of Adobe LiveCycle, which one is that I need to do the filling of the PDF forms.
Forms Standard and Pro
Reader® Extensions
Process Management
ECM Connectors
Correspondence Management
Output
PDF Generator
Rights Management
Digital Signatures
Do I have to install the entire suite or just one of these will be enough for filling data?

LOV Decode value returned by Pre-populate Adapter

Hi,
I have a lot of UDFs of type LOV, in particular System LOV( that point to custom Lookup Field definitions).
My problem is to get and return not the Lookup Decode value and not the Lookup Code Key (default OIM behavior) by a Pre-populate adapter.
May you help?
Thanks and regards,
Gabriele.

Hi Kevin,
may you provide a sample code fro that?
What you said it's true for UI/RequestTemplate that is: the Lookup Decode value it's displayed; but it's not true for a Pre-populate adapter mapped on a Provisioning Form.
In particular my custom pre-populate adapter is like the following:
CUSTOM Prepopulate Field Value
Adapter Name: CUSTOM Prepopulate String Field Value
Adapter Type: Pre-populate Rule Generator
Description: return input field value (String)
[Save]
[Variable List]
[Add]
Variable Name: string_field_value
Description: string_field_value
Type: String
Map to: Resolve at runtime
[Adapter Tasks]
[Add]
Logical Task + SET VARIABLE
Variable Name: Adapter Return Variable
Operand Type: Variable
Operand Qualifier: string_field_value
[Build] (Compile Status = OK)
[Save]
and it is mapped on AD Provisioning Form (Form Designer - UD_ADUSER - Pre-Populate):
Field Name: Description
Rule: Default
Adapter: CUSTOM Prepopulate String Field Value
[Save]
[Map] string_field_value
Map to: User Definition
Qualifier: <UDF LOV attribute>
where the <UDF LOV attribute> it's my custom sttribute type System LOV. It returns the Code Key value not the Decode value.

Pre populate adapter

Hi,
oim v 11G
I want to "use" the user password when provision to the DB .
I have created a prepopulate adapter
but then I can not seem to be able to connect this adapter to get the valuse form the user process.
in the "data object information" - i don't see the users form (as i used to see in v9 ) so i can not perform the operation.
any idea ?
thanks
s.

Why would you need to put a pre-populate in the Data Object Manager form. Dont you put it in the Form Designer -> Pre-populate section ? ?
I hope it should be the same in 11g as well.
Where as if you are talking about Entity Adapter which is Event Handlers in 11G then its an altogether different process which involves:
- Creating an xml for your plugin
- Importing it into the MDS database using import utility
- Registering your plugin

Adobe Acrobat Pro text box not printing and is hidden under box highlight.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.13. I am completing a form with text box throughout the document. I can no get the text box to printing and the text is hidden under box highlight. I have tried printing with the print feature 'Comments & Forms/ Document and Markups' with no luck.

It's doing that because you have field highlighting enabled. YOu can either turn it off or make the field read-only (if it's only used for display and not entry).

Export rich text from Adobe Form to MS Word or MS Excel

Hi,
I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It consists of some text fields, where formatting of the text is important. I have chosen allow rich text formatting in the textfield and that works fine. Export to Excel via .csv works fine, but formatting is of course lost.
I will receive many forms back, and would like to automate as much of the process as possible. My question is if there is any way to do a batch export of a certain text field including the formatting to either MS word or Excel?
An alternative might be to export only the specific text field from all collected forms to a one PDF File and copy paste this into word.
If I can get this to work, everything should work as planned.
Sorry if this has been asked before. Have done numerous searches, so far without result.
Best regards,
mlang1111

Probably, the font used isn't installed in your system, and the creator of the PDF file didn't embed it properly.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Issue with Submit a form in Adobe Acrobat pro XI

I have created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and am using a submit form button. I want the body of the email to display a html version of the PDF, however, instead it attaches the file as a *.tmp file and does not show up in the body. What am I am missing? (also, outlook blocked access to the file and claimed it to be a potentially unsafe attachment, but trying with other e-mail editors i still had no luck)
Also, is there a way to do this in javascript? if so, how?
(I would like to know how to do it with and without javascript if available - im learning)

not really, someone else mentioned that it could be done and they said they saw it before. I've been beating myself up for a while trying to figure out how to get it to happen. Is there an easy way to get the content of the pdf form into an email body with plain text when pressing a submit by email button?
Such as...
<label name>: <txtfield content>
First name: <txtfield content>
...etc..

Auto fill forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7

Hi All
This may have been answered already, if so I couldn't locate the answer I'm seeking and I apologize.
I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and the form I have has multiple combo boxes (drop down) on the form and I wanted to know if it's possible for me to link certain forms together so that when the information from combo box 3 is selected from the drop down menu it will automatically populate the information in combo box 12? Combo box 12 will have completely different information though.
Here is my example: We have an upwards of 30 departments and with these departments are different contact names and with these contact names there is the phone number and the email address, all in different fields on the form...currently, I have made a drop down for the department and have everyone manually fill in the other information, however, now everyone wants to be able to auto-fill the other fields such as the contact for that dept, the phone number and the email address of that contact, based solely on the selection of the dept. combo box.
Is it feasible?
If it is, I'm an your everyday run of the mill admin asst and my Javascript skills are nil, so please let me know what to put and in what box.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It is feasible, but does require some moderately advanced JavaScript, so it's not a simple matter of telling you where to place the code. There are a lot of details to consider, but a series of articles that should get you started if you decide to learn more is available here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle
Otherwise, I would suggest finding a consultant to do this for you, if there's a budget for it.
