A checked checkbox is rendered as unchecked in default pdf viewer of firefox. It is checked when the pdf is opened with adobe.

I am using DynamicPDF to render a PDF. There are multiple check boxes which are checked. When the PDF is opened in Firefox, none of the check boxes are checked. However, when I save the PDF and open with Adobe, check boxes are checked. There might be a problem with the Firefox built in PDF viewer as the built in PDF viewer for other browsers work fine.

Current Firefox versions have enabled a built-in PDF Viewer that doesn't have all features that other PDF readers like the Adobe Reader have or may not function properly otherwise.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use another application like the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options/Preferences > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer.
You can check the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page and remove the application/pdf part if present or reset the pref to the default via the right-click context menu if you want to display PDF documents in Firefox with another application (i.e. not the built-in PDF Viewer).

When I open a browser, Firefox checks for add ons and goes to a Firfox page. How do I disable this? I want the browser to open with a blank page.

I have uninstalled v5 and reinstalled v3.03 and now it still goes to a Firefox page. How do I open a browser with a blank page?

Cannot Preview when Display PDF in Browser is unchecked

Acrobat Professional 7.0 under Internet in Preferences, when Display in PDF browser is unchecked and then I am in LiveCycle Designer 7.0, the PDF Preview option is not available and the tab is missing. I have already done the Detect & Repair to no avail. Does anyone have a solution other than checking/unchecking? Thx in advance.

It was originally checked. I went in and unckd it & that's when the PDF tab disappeared. That is what is causing this whole thing. We have dozens of PDF files on Sharepoint & I work with that a lot. Due to needing to keep that main Sharepoint page open, that's why I chgd to not having PDF's open in the IE window. So at this point, it's a matter of keeping Acrobat open while working on the forms. Unless there's another way around. If not, I can live with that. The checking and unchecking was very time consuming.

"Always Open with" check box forces you to use quicktime player, can't change it to VLC. Any help or Apple is really trying to take over???

When I Open an .avi movie with VLC and check the box "always open with", a dialog shows up saying that I can't change the item "...avi" to always open with the selected application. The item is either locked or damaged, or in a folder you don't have permission to modify (error code - 54)
So in summary I can't use VLC to always open .avi files. The file is in a folder that I created in my desktop with all permissions and working perfect (not damaged) I am the admin and owner of the Laptop and file.
The same happens when I check the box for .mov or .mp4 files but with them I don't even get the dialog box with the massage, it just opens directly with vlc and when you think it went through, I double click to open the file and it opens with quicktime. No matter how many times I check the box "Always open with" It will always open with quicktime.
On my other laptop, an old Sony Vaio with Windows 7 I never had this kind of stress. Why does this kind of thing only happens with Apple?
Can anyone help?

Question about trigger to check the number of open cursors

Hello.
I wonder if it is possible to create a trigger that fires when the number of open cursors in a database becomes larger than a certain number. What kind of trigger and how would it be?
If it were possible the trigger would write traces with the timestamp of the event.
I would also like some pl/sql tester that would increase the number of open cursors so that I could check the trigger.
Thanks in advance.

Satish Kandi wrote:
OPEN_CURSORS is a value per session and not for the entire database. So if your cron job is looking for a global cumulative value of open cursors to occur in a single session, it won't find any such sessions.
Is it the case?Yes, I am afraid it is.
I am sorry but I don't unsertand what you are telling me: doesn't "select count(*) from v$open_cursor" count the number of open cursor for all sid columns in the view?
The cron launches a scripts that connects to the database via sqlplus whereas there is a java application (several threads without connection pooling) that connects to the database via jdbc and that causes the problem once in 5 months (to say something).
Thanks again.

CheckBox Item Renderer checks wrong grid row after sorting

I have an advanced Data Grid that has a checkBox ItemRenderer. The underlying object being displayed (Server) in the dataGrid is being bound to the checkBox with a selectedForDeployment:Boolean property.
I had this working just fine until the datagrid is sorted. After the grid is sorted I can click on the checkBox in row 2 and the checkBox in row 8 will be selected for instance. Or in some cases all checkBoxes will become checked. Also, if I have some already checked and then sort, the checkBox will become unchecked.
I have an example of my itemRender below. Any idea on how I can get this to work:
public class CheckBoxRenderer extends CheckBox
        override public function set data(value:Object):void {
            if(value){
                super.data = value;
                Server(super.data).addEventListener("setSelectionChanged", valueChange);
                this.selected = value.selectedForDeployment;
        public function CheckBoxRenderer(){
            focusEnabled = false;
            BindingUtils.bindSetter(selectionChange, this, "selected");
        //this method occurs the checkbox is clicked
        public function selectionChange(value:Boolean):void{
            trace(value);
            this.selected = value;
            if(this.data){
                this.data.selectedForDeployment = value;
        //This method occurs when the selectedForDeployment boolean in the object changes
        public function valueChange(event:Event):void{
            this.selected = event.target.selectedForDeployment;
        /* center the checkbox if we're in a datagrid */
        override protected function updateDisplayList(w:Number, h:Number):void
            super.updateDisplayList(w, h);
            if (listData is DataGridListData)
                var n:int = numChildren;
                for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
                    var c:DisplayObject = getChildAt(i);
                    if (!(c is TextField))
                        c.x = (w - c.width) / 2;
                        c.y = (h - c.height) / 2;

This usually works for me:
package renderers
    import flash.events.Event;
    import mx.controls.CheckBox;
    public class CheckBoxRenderer extends CheckBox
        public function CheckBoxRenderer()
            super();
            addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, handleChange);
        override public function set data(value:Object):void {
            if(value){
                super.data = value;
                selected = value.selectedForDeployment;
        private function handleChange(event:Event):void{
            data.selectedForDeployment = event.target.selected;

Method to uncheck a checked checkbox

Hi there,
I have been trying to uncheck a checked checkbox but haven't found a way to do so. Is there a java method to do it? I've tried setState(false) but it doesn't work.
Thanks in anticipation :)

Hi, dieterjanssen
Thanks for your advice :)
Yes, I do have an itemListener added but I don't have the itemStateChanged method. How do I implment that method?

Once I've checked a checkbox, I can't uncheck it

I have a leave request form that was built in LiveCycle. I've used a series of check boxes to allow the user to select the reason for the leave request: ie; annual leave, sick leave, fmla, etc. The problem is this: if a user checks one box, but then decides he should have selected another instead, he can't change the selection. What do I need to do to change this so that if you decide to choose a different option, you can do so and you can also uncheck the undesired option. I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
Thank you!

I don't have any scripting, but I did notice that in the "binding" palette I had On value as 1, Off value as 0, and Neutral value as 2 for the "Annual Leave" check box, but none of the others. That's the one I was having problems with. I deleted the neutral value, leaving the others as is, and this seems to have resolved the issue.

Checkbox item renderer populated with data from 2 sources

I have a list object that has a check box and a label (using an inline item renderer). The list itself is populated with an array of objects and whether the checkbox is selected takes those objects and adds them to another list (for outbound purposes). Since the selected list can change elsewhere in my app how do I keep the binding of selections consistent? The dataprovider for my checkbox list is the first array of objects and is binded, but the second one (selected array) is not. What would be the best way to provide that binding to make sure the selected is consistent when the second array changes. Some of the code is below to better show...

     var selected:Boolean = false;
     for each(var schedPartner:Partner in scheduleAssets.partners)
          if(schedPartner.id == partner.id)
               selected = true;
     return selected;
public function handleSelectedChange(event:Event):void
     var partner:Partner = event.currentTarget.parent.data as Partner;
          if(event.currentTarget.selected)
               addPartnerEvent(partner);
          } else {
               removePartnerEvent(partner);

Hi Aakcse,
In this condition, you need to make use of both the Precedence Constraint between Control Flow Tasks and the Conditional Split Transformation. Supposing you get the value in the flat file and store it in a variable via Script Task, you can create two Data
Flow Tasks, and connect the Script Task to the two DFTs.
For the Precedence Constraint between the Script Task and the Data Flow Task 1, set the “Expression and Constraint” expression to @[User::vEntryStatus]=="Y". And for the Precedence Constraint between the Script Task and the Data Flow Task 2, set the “Expression
and Constraint” expression to @[User::vEntryStatus]=="N".
In Data Flow Task 1, add a Conditional Split Transformation with this expression [Entry]==”YES”, and direct this output to the destination component. In Data Flow Task 2, also add a Conditional Split Transformation with expression [Entry]==”NO”, and direct
the output to the destination component.

Checked CheckBoxes moving around in DataGrid

I have a DataGrid and I use a CheckBox as a custom
ItemRenderer/ItemEditor. I make the CheckBox a custom renderer so I
can disable it in certain rows depending on the value of the data
in that row.
When I select a few check boxes in the DataGrid and then
scroll through the DataGrid other CheckBoxes that I did not check
will show a check. Even some of the disabled CheckBoxes will show a
check mark.
The data binding works properly no matter how screwed up the
rendering is. Only the CheckBoxes that I actually check show up as
checked in the data. It is just the rendering that is screwed up.
Here is my code from the DataGrid and my custom renderer:
<mx:DataGridColumn
id="distributeCB"
rendererIsEditor="true"
headerText="Distribute"
width="70"
dataField="distribute"
editorDataField="selected"
itemRenderer="com.avaya.im.decm.branches.CheckBoxItemRenderer"
/>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:CheckBox
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
enabled="{data.status==notDistributedStr}"
change="data.distribute=selected" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Must match BranchCoveragePathTemplates.NOT_DISTRIBUTEDD
public const notDistributedStr:String = "Not Distributed";
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:CheckBox>
Has anyone seen this and solved it?
Thanks.

The list components re-use the item renderers when you
scroll. This means that the checkbox state must be driven by the
dataProvider.
Your checkBox renderer must override the set Data method and
set the selected property based on a value in the dataProvider
item.
When the user clicks the checkbox, the renderer must updte
the dataProvider item with the value.
Here is a full example:

Check checkbox at runtime

I am totally new to Oracle Forms...
How do I check a checkbox at runtime.
I want to check the checkbox at WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE.
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Joseph,
It's the value in the checkbox item that decides whether the checkbox will be
checked or uncheked. Let me give you an example. Suppose you have designed
an item (say ItemA) with the following set up in the property pallete:
Item Type: Checkbox (obviously)
Enabled: Yes
Value when checked: Y
Value when Unchecked: N
Check box mapping with other value: Unchecked (assume for now)
Initial Value: Y
====================================================
At runtime:
When the screen gets invoked, the checkbox shows checked as the
Initial Value is Y
(Answer to Your first question)
You can uncheck or check the checkbox as you like with your
input device (mouse, may be). Y or N will be stored in
the database if you have checked or unchecked the checkbox.
Is that the question?
====================================================
If you want to do progrmatically:
do code as follows in whatever trigger you like according to
your need and restriction that may apply to the trigger.
:<block name>.ItemA := 'Y';
The checkbox would show checked
:<block name>.ItemA := 'N';
The checkbox would show unchecked
====================================================
There is nothing you can do about it with set_item_property.
In fact you don't need to use set_item_property. You are
not going to change any property of the item. As I have
understood, you are working only with the value of the item.
====================================================
Have I answered your question? Let me know if you need to know
anything specific.

Checking Checkboxes & setting filename

Hi,
I am fairly new in creating acrobat forms and scripting.
And now I will create a form for a friend and would of course create as user friendly as possible.
The Scenario is:
I have a form which has totally 6 Checkboxes, 2 Textfields and 2 Buttons.
Now i want to realise the following tasks:
1.) If one of the Checkboxes 1 - 3 is selected, the other two are automaticly unchecked. Also, if Checkbox 3 is selected the Textfield 1 is required. The same should be with the Checkboxes 4 - 6 and Textfield 2.
2.) If the Textfield 1 is required it should be checked if the something is entered and the length is 6, 8 or 10.
3.) It should be not possible to overwrite the original file. The user should be prompted to save a copy when he clicks the save button at the toolbar or the button at the form. Also the filename should be suggested based on which checkboxes are selected.
In example: "Copy_ChkBx2_ChkBx4.pdf"
4.) I want also add an button to let the user directly the pdf via email. The filename whould be generated like in at 3.). I want also to add some text to the email and set the subject to the filename.
I don't know if all that is possible but it would be great when it is possible that somebody would show me how it is possible.
Many thanks for your help.

No, the hidden field is in a while loop, so value="<%= moduleBean.getModuleId() %>" is always different.
This <td> tag
<td><input type="hidden" name="checkbox" value="<%= moduleBean.getModuleId() %>"><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="<%= moduleBean.getModuleId() %>"></td>
is in the while loop.
Does it matter that the hidden field name, checkbox, is different from the checkbox name, checkbox1, that the user sees?

Datagrid Checkbox item renderer Issue.

Hi There
Recently I faced a requirement to have a checkbox inside a datagrid where I need to develop a music module with playlist management for ADOBE AIR based application.
For this I have searched and found a source to use Datagrid and Checkbox components which overrides some inbuild methods to give the required result..
But Finally I ended with one strange issue
When the check box is placed in the datagrid at 0 column index it works firne but if we place at any index ( I need it to be last colum ) the checkbox is not updating the display.
Source Flex Air project attached.
From the sample... While clicking on a row the left column checkbox is getting updated but Right remains same... when you scroll the Datagrid then the checkboxes are getting update when they are redrawn. I didn't found where to call the redraw for the right checkbox column.
Cany any one faced this strange issue. and found any solution ?????
If the Logic what I am following for a Playlist module is not good one then suggest if you guys know any other mechanism to develop a playlist management with datagrid and Checkboxes.

Using a checkbox in numbers- if,then, I want to display today's date if checked, and keep that date, the day it was checked, not the current day

Using a checkbox in numbers- if,then, I want to display today's date if checked, and keep that date, the day it was checked, not the current day

this will not work. Numbers does not provide a timestamp. you can, however, enter the formula "=now()" in any cell, then copy that same cell, then paste (using the command "Edit > Paste Formula Results"
If you need a time stamp often,
make a single cell table with the formula (mentioned earlier).
and copy and paste as needed

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
// Mouse Up script for check box
// If checked, certain fields should be disabled
var f_prefix = "Co";
// Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields
var f = getField(f_prefix);
// Reset the Co fields
resetForm([f_prefix]);
if (event.target.value === "Off") {
    // Enable the Co fields
    f.readonly = false;
    f.fillColor = color.transparent;
} else {
    // Disable the Co fields
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.gray;
To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!
