Reg: The Drop down in Adobe form

Hi All,
I am using a Adobe form [PDF] with 2 Drop Down's say DD1 [values:1,2,3] and DD2 [values a,b,c],
Requirment is:
When i select a value say "1" in DD1, DD2 should be "readOnly" and value should be "a" only.
When any value other then "1" is selected in DD1, DD2 should remain as Selectable to the user.
Solution i tried: Using script i made DD2 as "readOnly" when DD1 is "1", which makes DD2 as i/p field - not editable, but the problem is if user selects the another value after selecting "1" in DD1, DD2 remains a i/p field and no values is shown to the user, even though i made it as "readWrite".
Please help me.
Thanks & regards
Nagaraju

Hi,
Have a workaround to hide and display the fields like You should have two UI's for DD1 one is input field disabled with value "a" and the other is DropDown enabled, now what you do is when you select "1" in DD1 make the visibility of Input field true and when you select the other values in DD1 hide the Input field and make visible the Dropdown.

Filling Drop down in Adobe forms

Hi experts,
I am developing a new Adobe form.In that I am using a table,the table consist of three drop downs in each row.
My requirements are
1. I want to fill the three drop downs.Guide me in that..
2. How to capture the value selected in first dropdown...
2. Based on the value selected in first dropdown I want to set the remaining two dropdowns.
I am using AdobeDesigner 7.1.
Please help me to achive this ....
Thanks&Regards,
Mathi.

Hi Mathi,
Answers to your questions:
1. To fill the drop down select the drop down you want to fill and go to the Object palette, choose field tab and there would be an option list item press the icon button and the value you want. Similarly use button to remove the values.
2. To use the values outside the form bind the drop down to a attribute from the data source.
3. To use inside to set values of the remaining drop downs use the following code at the exit event of the first drop down.
if (a.rawValue == 'a' )
b.rawValue = 'f';
c.rawValue = 'h';
here i have supposed that a, b, c are three dropdowns.
a has values : a,b,c.
and b has values : d,e,f.
and c has values : g,h,i.
To write this code in the exit event of the first drop down(a) select it and in the script editor choose exit event.
To show script editor go to windows in the menu and choose script editor.
I hope it will be helpful.

Reading the drop down value in interactive adobe forms in WDJ

Hi,
I have a scenario like this:
Drop down menu with values being populated from model . when i select the value from drop down and update the backend with that value, it is not done. It always takes the same value ( first one in the drop down list) and fails to take the selected value.
could anybody throw some light as how to deal with the drop down in adobe forms in WebDynpro Java?
Are there any specific settings for these?
I have taken the drop down menu from WebDynpro Native library.
Kind Regards,
Charan.

Hi Charan,
Did u try to populate the data into the dropdown with the help of Simple types.
I faced the same issue, that got resolved when i binded the dropdown with Simple types that were populated.
Hope this helps.

Reg : Two Drop Down's on Adobe Form

Hi ,
I have a form on which I placed two Dropdown fields and I bounded them to the same internal table.
The internal table has 10 records with a blank record as the first record.
When I execute the form u2026 first dropdown shows blank record as the first record being selected and
Second dropdown shows next record being selected .
but my requirement is ..both the dropdownu2019s should display blank record as selected
Any idea???

hi,
bindind data to 2 dropdown's is perfectly correct.
I able to see the values also in both the drop down's.
but my question here is:
frist drop down shows first value in the interanl table as the defaut value displayed in the first dropdown.
second drop down shows second value in the interanl table as the defaut value displayed in the second dropdown.
and suppose if we have third dropdown..
third drop down shows third value in the interanl table as the defaut value displayed in the third dropdown.
I want all the dropdown's to show first record as the default record to be displayed.
any idea is greatly appreciated.
try yourself by placing 3 dropdown's on the form and bind all the 3 dropdowns to the same internal table field.
regards
Arjun

Filtering Drop-down Values Adobe Interactive Form

Hi,
I am working on adobe interactive form, in which I have a normal drop-down. Now the requirement is, depending on the value of another field (country) , I need to display only the states pertaining to the country being displayed. In my drop-down I get a list of all states irrespective of the country.
I have created an Interactive Adobe form using WebDynpro ABAP. I have populated the view context in my business logic and I am using this context to populate my drop-down. I have a root node named as NODE_ROOT which is of cardinality 1:1 and a child node named as NODE_STATE of cardinality 0:n with State, State_Desc and CountryID as its attributes.
In my drop-down list I have mapped the Item to $record.NODE_STATE.DATA[*], Item_text to the attribute State and Item_Value to the Attribute State_Desc. I have also enabled the "Show Dynamic Binding" option from Tools->Options->Data Binding.
The Drop-down is working fine. I would like to filter these values based on country by making use of CountryID in my form. Is it possible through scripting? If so, how do I do it?
Sample code would be of great help.
Thanks,
Anusha

To The viewers of the forum, By mistake I posted the same question twice. Please discard this one.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

Why Adobe Acrobat XI Pro is not in the drop down menu?

I tried to activate Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (Windows) in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine in Parallels in my MacBook Pro, but it isn't available in the drop down menu that is shown to activate the product. My serial number is correct. What can I do?
I installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in Boot Camp within the same computer, but I couldn't used it any more as I had a major failure with Windows 7 in such partition. Therefore, I couldn' deactivated it before reinstalling it in the Parallels virtual machine. In any case, there shouldn't be a problem with the License as the new installation is the second one, and I can't used the first installation anyway.
Thanks.

It makes perfect sense. Thanks.
It's not part of a Suite, but thanks for your comment.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I downloaded & reinstalled my previous versions of Acrobat and the problem was solved. Thanks again.

I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

How to populate the values in the drop down list form the xml file ?

I want to populate the drop down list values from a seperate xml file called ReferenceData. I created this file, which consists of a mapping entry in the form of ( key,value ) pair. Am mapping this xml file in to form by using rule named as getAppReferenceData.
But the values are not getting populated in the form. And I have a doubt of, where should we keep that xml file? (under which path / folder ).

what would help is if you showed what you do in the rule, either the code or a express trace of the rule.
The other thing you need to know is where you want to get the file from. Yes java can read a file from anywhere on the system but there is a security layer in there which might prevent the file being opened. Have you allowed acces to the file via the security policy settings via java.io.FilePermission?

The first two issues sound like a video driver problem.
What is the make/model of your video card/chip?
What is the installed video driver number and date?
For the last issue, it could be many things, including the video driver. I'd look over this ARTICLE, and if there is nothing in the first part, then move on to tuning up the OS an computer in the second part. That would probably be a good time to post the full specs. of your computer, and also both your Project and Source footage. Finally, part three covers many troubleshooting tips, and furnishes many links.
Good luck,

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.
