Problem submitting duplicate fileds via html

I have 2 separate pdf files that have acrofields - some of the field names are the same, like Name and Address.
Each form has a submit data as html button on it.
I combine the two pdf files into one on a web server, then using IE the user enters data and submits.
The data submitted will have the key value pairs of field name and data, but for common fields, like Name and Address, the key (field name) will appear once, and the data is in a comma separated list, so the server sees, for example:
Name=John Doe, Fred Smith
Address=1234 Main St, 321 Central Ave.
This is a problem, because the comma used to separate the data values on like-named fields could easily be used as user input, so there is no way to tell which data went on which form.
Now, I think I understand that if two acrofields have the same name they will share data on the pdf form, so you may be wondering how its possible to have the user enter two different data on a like-names field (Name).  anything they enter on the Name field on form 1 should show up on the name field on form 2.  Actually, I would like that, but that is not what's happening.
Someone on this forum told me that there is a field name and a submit name.  The field names on my 2 pdf forms are unique,  Name is really called <long string of binary or unicode characters>Name and Address is <long string of binary or unicode characters>Address,  but both are submitted as simply Name and Address.  (the forms are provided by a 3rd party, I have no idea why they named the fields the way the did).
Apparently the submit names cannot be edited by Acrobat 9, I tried, the name can be changed, but when submitted the data posts as the original name.
So while editing the form the fields are unique, but in the submit the data is combined together under the 'short' field name.
My question:
Does any of this sound like it should be happening?  Is this how data (comma separated list) is posted for like-submit names?
Is there an alternate way to submit the data that will bypass this problem?

Well, I'm glad to hear it's normal.
Yes, I can alter the form (but I would rather not ...there are over 600 of them!)
Ideally I would like to have fields that are the same (Name, Address) share data across themselves and post as a single field.
Second best would be to have the fields not share data and post as separate fields.
Something odd to note: after a failed attempt to rename a field, I deleted it altogether and re-created it with using a unique name, and the darn thing still had the old name tooltip (in field edit mode, not the normal user presented tooltip) and when submitted the newly created field still posted with the old name.  Very disturbing.  The submit name persisted and re-hooked itself to the new field. <sigh>
So I'm afraid the only real solution would be to start with blank (no fields) forms and add my own fields using my own naming scheme.  I'm certain this would work but its a shame to have 600+ forms already with fields and not be able to use them.

  • Problems Submitting PDF Forms via Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi,
    I have used Acrobat Pro (Versions 9/X and XI) to successfully create fillable PDF forms. I distributed the forms to a server via Acrobat, then set up a hyperlink to the form's location for my users. The users were able to fill the form and submit it.  I was able to manage the submitted form data via Adobe Tracker.  Recently, many of my users have been updated to Acrobat Reader XI.  Now, some of these same users (who have successfully submitted these forms in the past - before the latest upgrade) can no longer submit the form data!  If a user fills the form and clicks submit, it appears to that user that the form was successfully submitted, but no data appears in Adobe Tracker, even after refreshing... What would cause this??
    Thank you!

    What is your operating system?  What is your Reader XI version?  What exactly means "cannot"?

  • Problem downloading a file via http

    Hi
    I'm just getting started with WLS (sp5) and am having a problem downloading
    a file via http. The document is stored in the main html docs directory and
    whenever I link to it or try to download it directly (eg:
    http://<host>:<port>/myfile.doc) I get the following error in a message box:
    Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I grant permissions
    to do this - I've tried using the weblogic.security.URLAclFile and adding
    the directory as a weblogic.io.fileSystem (a desperation move, I know).
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter Villiers

    PLEASE IGNORE THIS POST
    The problem was caused by someone (me though I honestly don't remember doing
    it), setting the content security level to high in my web browser which
    stopped this type of download.

  • How to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?

    Is there a way to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?
    Ex. I've created multiple forms in Dreamweaver. They are submitted to my email address without problem.
    When I receive them, the default subject line in my email is "Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer"
    I want each of my forms to have their own subject line.
    Thanks

    Hi
    In your form to mail script insert the following just above the actual function to send the mail -
    $optional_subject = $_POST['form_subject'];
    and $optional_subject in your mail function just before the body info of your email.
    Insert an hidden field in your form with the id "form_subject" and the value you wish.

  • Problem with complete task via email

    Hello,
    I have problem with complete task via email. I found this blog very useful (http://blogs.adobe.com/ADEP/2010/11/how-to-complete-a-task-via-email-using-reply-to-comple te.html), but...
    I set up everything as it’s written in blog mentioned above. When a task is assigned to me, I received an email notification with actions (accept, deny). After that I replied with action “accept”. Then I received email with subject “Errors from LiveCycle ES”:
    LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:

    Can you me please? I have no idea what to do to succesfully complete task via email endpoint. Thanks
    Jan Petrla

    Hi Diana, thanks for your reply.
    You're probably right about 2 different error messages.
    To the 1st one: I'm sure that status task is Assigned (to me). I received an email and I also reply on that email.
    To error log: I found out that error log appears when I enable email endpoint on Complete Task service. But I managed to solve this problem. I set wrong user. Now I have here the same user as is written in login-config.xml so log seems to be ok.
    So I created new task and tried to complete it via email. Now I receive email with another error:
    LiveCycle ES has tried to process your request and encountered the following error:
    com.adobe.idp.dsc.provider.service.email.impl.EmailProviderException: Error getting user context

    And to the last point: email endpoint is set up with TestPOP3@mydomain and user receiving email has jpetrla@mydomain. I use Lotus Notes as email client, I tried another account with gmail, but the result was same.
    Now I really don't know to do...

  • Problems uploading big files via FTP and downloading files

    I've been having problems uploading big files like video files (.mov 12MB) via FTP to my website (small files like .html or .doc I can upload but it takes longer than usual). I'm using Fetch 4.0.3. as FTP. Same problems when downloading files via Bit Torrent. I recently moved to Spain, since then I seem to have the problem. But my roommate with a PC doesn't have that problem. Connecting to internet with Ethernet cable also didn't resolve the problem. I also tested it from a Starbucks coffee connecting to Internet from there but still couldn't upload that 12MB file to the FTP. The security settings for firewall are set to "allow all incoming connections". I didn't change any of my settings so I don't know what the problems could be. I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.7) Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Much of what is available on Bittorrent is not legal, beta, or improperly labelled versions. If you want public domain software, see my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#NATIVE
    for search engines of legitimate public domain sites.
    http://www.rbrowser.com/ has a light mode that supports binary without SSH security.
    http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ has ssh secure FTP.
    Both I find are quick and a lot more reliable than Fetch. I know Fetch used to be the staple FTP program, but it grew too big for my use.

    I have an old Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.8
    After a crash of my HD, I reinstalled the CS3.
    At the time of recording I get a window with the message "COMPLETED REGISTRATION" and under "There was a problem sending the informasioni via internet" and still under three choices to "send back" and "records in a second time "or" never record "and I continue to choose the latter option.
    Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
    Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?

  • Problems with sending IDOC via RFC from Unicode to NonUnic

    Hello
    I have following problem, sending an IDOC via RFC from Unicode to Non Unicode System. IDoc is not sent with error: codepage of receiver system cant determined. receiver destination was: Message no. B1999
    I have tried different options in sm59, but it didnt help.
    Any ideas? The recipient system is rather old, version 4.0

    hey,
    I had a similar experience. I was interfacing between 4.6 (RFC), PI and ECC 6.0 (ABAP Proxy). When data was passed from ECC to 4.6, RFC received them incorrectly. So i had to send trimmed strings from ECC and receive them as strings in RFC (esp for CURR and QUAN fields). Also the receiver communication channel in PI (between PI and  RFC) had to be set as Non unicode. This helped a bit. But still I am getting 2 issues, truncation of values and some additional digits !! But the above changes resolved unwanted characters problem like "<" and "#". You can find a related post in my id. Hope this info helps..

  • Problem accessing BBC News via iPad 2, iPhone or web

    Anybody else have these problems - and solutions?
    I have continuous, but erratic problems accessing BBC News either through MacBook Pro, iPhone 3G or iPad 2 (64G Wi-Fi & 3G).  Until a few months ago, I never had problems accessing BBC News via my computer.  Now I often cannot access the site at all, and problems occur whether I use Google Chrome (11.0.696.57)or Safari (5.0.5).  Erratically and less frequently, however, the pages load OK.  I have no problem loading other news websites, e.g. CNN or Al Jazeera.  I live in Spain.  My internet provider is Movistar. I have an ADSL connection of 10Mb (maximum available here) and a wireless router. My MacBook Pro runs OS X 10.6.7. 
    When trying to access BBC through Google Chrome, I get the following message:
    Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.bbc.co.uk
    Try reloading: www.bbc.co.uk/news/
    Additional suggestions:
    Access a cached copy of www.bbc.co.uk/news/
    Trying to access BBC on Safari, I get this message:
    Safari can’t find the server.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/” because Safari can’t find the server “www.bbc.co.uk”.
    Using the BBC app on my iPad 2 and iPhone 3G, sometimes the BBC News loads OK, but more often, again, I  get this message:
    No network connection.
    Sorry, you are currently offline and will not be able to view any updated content.
    N.B.  I am clearly NOT "offline" at this time, since I can open any other web page. 

    I'm trying to access BBC news on iPad 2 through the app.  Have the same problems.
    I wrote to BBC tech support complaining about my access problem through computer, iPhone and iPad.  On May 2, I received the following reply:
    Thank you for your email.
    We are aware that some people in Spain are having problems accessing the
    BBC News site.  We have identified the problem to the Telefonica ISP.
    We have contacted Telefonica and they have advised anyone with problems
    to contact them directly
    Kind regards,
    BBC News website
    Hence, I contacted Movistar (new name of Telefonica) tech support.  I was told they knew nothing about the problem and tried to blame my computer for it.  And then they hang up!!!  Not impressed!!
    I wrote to BBC again on May 19 asking WHO I should contact in Telefonica/Movistar, since their tech support staff claim not to know about the problem  As of today, no reply from BBC, so still very frustrated!

  • 6300's problem of transfer file via bluetooth

    Hi..i just got a brand new 6300
    but i've got a problem with transfering file via bluetooth from my laptop to my phone
    sumhow i can transfer file from my phone to my laptop, and i also can transfer image file from my laptop to my phone...
    but a problem occured when i try to send MP3s file from my laptop to my phone...
    i've already succeed to pair my laptop and my phone...but still i can't transfer thoose files...
    can anyone help me??
    please...
    thx a bunch

    Make sure that you have enough phone memory available, even if you are transferring to the memory card.
    When sending files by bluetooth they are transfered (cached) to the phone then the phone transfers them to the memory card.
    Also you should transfer files one at a time.
    If you are transfering lots of MP3's you would be better off using a data cable as it will be a lot quicker.

  • Problem submitting RFEBKA00 via Job

    Hi experts
      I have a requirement to create a Z program to upload 3 different files by using RFEBKA00.
      For this purpouse, I have created a Z program which creates 3 Z jobs (ZA, ZB, ZC one per file) using JOB_OPEN / SUBMIT program VIA JOB / JOB_CLOSE.
      Once every job is finished, I need to read logs using BP_JOBLOG_READ,and if there are no errors, move files to other folder.
      My questions are:
        1.- When using JOB_OPEN and SUBMIT VIA JOB name NUMBER n, as far as I know n is the number returned by jobcount parameter from JOB_OPEN and should be the same for both jobs (the Zjob created by JOB_OPEN and the one created by program RFEBKA00).When I debbug the program, it is OK, but when accessing table TBTCO sometimes there are 2 different jobcounts. Seems that jobcount is created based on sy-uzeit and sometimes there is some delay between JOB_OPEN and SUBMIT. Is there any way to ensure both jobs have the same jobcount?.
        2.- As I need to read the log for each file, and because of the fact that the job created by submitting RFEBKA00 has always the same name, if the answer to my first question is NO, how can I link each of my Z jobs with its corresponding RFEBKA00 job?.
    Many thanks in advance for your answers.
    BR,
    Carlos.

    Hi Thomas
      Thanks for your answer.
      For your first question, there is not BD key problem beacuse of my job is ZJOB and the one created when doing submit via job is RFEBKA00-EXTR.CTA.EL. (standard job) have different names.
      But job number should be the same, because I'm using JOB_OPEN (which return the job number in parameter jobcount) and SUBMIT VIA JOB . 
      For the second question, and based on SAP documentation about SUBMIT , when submitting a program vía job, the submitted program is executed as a background task, which means creating a new job, so the answers is yes, the standard program schedules a new job.

  • Problem in submiting standard program via job

    Hi Experts ,
       I have developed  programs for creating and posting return lots and payment lots for multiple incoming  files. For this i have submited standard  program of FPB3 and FPB5 transaction .  What happened is ,  if the child program fails due to some reason for one file , it is not coming back to the mother program and as a result other files remain unprocessed . So for this i tried with submiting the child program Via job so that if child program fails , only that job will fail and the mother program will not fail , so rest  files will be processed .
    But the problem is the child program (standard program of FPB3/FPB5 )  is not working by this i.e.  the lots are not getting created adn.
    Awaiting for any respone .

    Hi,
    If you are using Submit via Job, you need to use JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE FM's.
    JOB_OPEN : Create a new job and return you the job number which you use in Submit
    JOB_CLOSE: Will set the release conditions of the job.
    Example:
    DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
          name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
          print_parameters TYPE pri_params.

        cant_create_job  = 1
        invalid_job_data = 2

        OTHERS           = 4.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
