Hello ,
In some forms we find in the title expression : purchase order : and {..} represent the number of purchace order. if we open adobe livecycle we will found two field:
11- a text which contain the text "purchase order and {..} " which is visible
22- a text field (exclude from layout) which is binded to have the number of purchace order
the objectif :
i have a form with just the description (description form)without the number. and i want to make it like the purchase order : Description form :
111-i have my text which contain Description form :
222- i have my text (exclude from layout) binded with o correct information
the problem is :
1- i have in execution : Description form : and not Description form : 18
2- the icon of field used by the system (22) contains like a boumerang attached in the icon but the field i created (222) contains just a normal icon of a text field .
Can you help me to solve the problem

Hi Temp,
We can use a data driven approach for setting the presence. The Minimum Occurrence property has to be set as 0. In this approach if data does not exists at runtime for that particular node, the complete subform will be invisible without any reserved space. (In this approach also layout has to be set as Flow Layout only).

Sumit

Hi,
Write the following script at the exit event of your text field.
if ( $.rawValue == null )
then
$host.messageBox("Please Enter Value")
$host.setFocus("TextField1");
endif
Here TextField1 is the name of the text field.

Is it possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?

Hi,
the subject says it all. I have downloaded the trail version to see if its possible to create a editable pdf with validation(required field) using Adobe Acrobat pro version?
Basically, I will have to create a pdf form where users fill it and send it back to me. there will be required fields (the textbox and check box) that user need to fill before saving the editable pdf?
Is it possible. if so, can someone kind enough to point to me right directions?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. What I am trying to achieve is to give an option for the user to download the pdf form and once the user tries to save the pdf, it validates with the required field. I managed to create the editable pdf with required fields option. I just need that validation to be done when user click on save file. How can I achieve this? thanks so much for your help.

How to create form fields in Adobe Professional version 8

Hello,
I have been trying for some time now to get a form in place. I have used an existing form and I am working in Adobe Professional version 8.
I went to tools, forms and than I thought I had to click on text field tool. But than it asks me to name the text field. I want to keep the name fields blank and have them completed by the persons I will send it to (or actually this form will be posted online). The other persons should be able to open, complete, save and return it by email.
please advise me what to do.
Your help section brings me all the time to the Life Cycle which I think is not appropriate for the purpose I need it.

Thank you for your advises but I have the impression my initial question is still not being answered.
I have tried to create the fields in Adobe Pro 8 version, via forms, text field tool and named all the fields.
Than I saved it and enabled the usage rights for Adobe Reader but opening this file from another computer in Adobe Reader, it allows me only to add comments and markups in the document, not filling out the form in the form fields I thought I created before?
Now what to do? Did I do something wrong with the creation of form fields, can you please describe the exact path/steps to take?
Appreciate your prompt reply.

Setting Image field in adobe form

Hello Gurus,
I have a question setting the image field dynamically.
I have created a following context structure for
DataSource(ValueNode Cardinality (1..1))->imagenode(Valuenode Cardinalty(0..n))->image(Value attribute))
I have binded the Datasource node to the Datasource of the interactive form.
I have dynmaically created the imagenode and set the value for the image.
for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
         image= wdContext.createIImagenodeElement();
                          if(i==1)
                         image.setImage("http://Image1.png");
          if(i==2)
          image.setImage("http://Image2.png");
          if(i==3)
          image.setImage("http://Image3.png");
          if(i==4)
          image.setImage("http://Image4.png");
          wdContext.nodeImagenode().addElement(image);
Now I want to set this node to the image field in adobe.
In URL of the image field I have enterted $record.imagenode[*].image and its not working where as the same thing works for text field.
Please let me know if any one has any idea on this.
Thanks,

Hi Naresh,
Copy the images to src -> mimes - > Components of your development component / project.
To the value node set the url like the following way ...
http://<hostname>:<port number>/webdynpro/resources/image.gif

Hi;
Are you saving your form as a PDF from FormsCentral to distribute the PDF form?
In the FormsCentral form authoring tools you do not have control over the size of the field. If you are using a PDF however you can edit that PDF in Acrobat after saving from FormsCentral and can edit the size, border, color etc of the fields.
If you want to edit a FormsCentral PDF you'll want to review this FAQ:

Hide a row or field in adobe form

Hi guys,
Can any one suggest me how to hide a field in adobe form.
My scenario is:
Using control levels for deliveries with item data, if the item line is only one, then I should not display any subtotal field, if item lines are more than one, only then i need to display subtotal field in adobe form.
Subtotals are maintained at item level not at the page level.
Can any provide solution with scripting.
Thanks.
RP.

One way is have some variable which tells how many rows of data is present. Check it and then make subtotal
visible or hidden. The script will be like below.
if (rownum.rawValue == 1) then
this.presence = 'hidden'
else
this.presence = 'visible'
endif
Thanks,

Just an idea, but you might try re-printing that original PDF file to the Adobe PDF printer (saving it as another pdf file, essentially). Then try again to add form fields. (You can copy the form fields you've already created and paste them onto the new file -- just copy and paste while in forms edit mode). A second shot in the dark if the first doesn't work might be to try again, but change the print settings when printing to PDF. I've ready some reports that the dpi setting can have an effect. Maybe go from 600 to 150 and see if that works. Let me know which, if either, of these ideas works.

How to edit signature fields in Adobe EchoSign

In this tutorial, learn how to use digital signatures, including how to edit electronic signature fields and other input fields in Adobe EchoSign.

It will depend on the image. If it was one that was saved as a psd file and has layers (window>layers) {Look in the layers panel and see if you see a layer with a thumbnail that looks like a large T} In this instance, you can double click on that thumbnail to highlight the text then type in its replacement.
If the image is a jpg which does not support layers, transparency or live text, then that would mean that you need to use the selection tools to select that text and fill it with the same color as the background. You can then use the text tool to type in the text you want.
Remember to save a copy as a psd file so you can edit the text at a later date.

Hiding Fields in Adobe Form

Hi,
I have some fields in my form that i want to hide. I added in some javascript into the button-click event. When previewing in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer, the fields are hidden successfully,but when i press F8 button the fields are not able to hide.
My JavaScript is:
if(this.rawValue == null)
this.presence = "hidden";
Thanks.

Hi,
you can use as below,
below Scripting can be used to ahcive this.
1. FormCalc Scripting.
2. JavaScript.
Combination of both is also allowed in same form.
Example:
if( hasValue($) ) then
StaticText1.presence eq u2018visibleu2019
Else
StaticText1.presence eq u2018hiddenu2019
Endif.

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

Resizing Text Fields Causes Adobe to Hang

Good Afternoon All-
I have a PDF of our company floor plan. I added text fields over each office with the person's name and telephone number. There are over 100 text fields. I created this form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8. I have since upgrade to 10 Pro. When I open the form and try to resize one of the text fields, Adobe will hang for on average, 1 minute or two and then come back to life. It only seems to happen when I resize or try to move a text field from this PDF. I tried adding text fields into other PDF's and they resize/move fine without Adobe hanging. Does anyone know what the issue might be? I even tried opening it up on another PC that has Acrobat Pro 11. I also tried using the PDF Optimizer and making it compatible with Acrobat 10 and still no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi AdobeDonutGeek,
Based on your description, this would be one where it might be better to contact our technical support for assistance.

Form doesn't update fields in Adobe Reader XI

I created a form in Acrobat X Pro, it has a bunch of radio buttons the user must select. The last page is the results page, which has JS code that is executed when entering the page. If I test the form in Acrobat X, the results page properly updates the results fields as soon as you enter the page.
But if I open the page in Adobe Reader XI, the fields in the result page will not update until I save the page. This didn't happened before, forms always behaved the same in Acrobat and Reader. I also tested forms I created months ago, and had the same result.
Does anybody know what's going on here? Thank you.

After doing more testing, the Page Open event works in Reader but is very slow updating the result page that has the code and uses the Page Open event.
In Acrobat happens instantly, but in Reader takes a loooong time, sometimes seems that doesn't even update, as it takes forever. Wonder if my Reader's settings are screwed up?
Basically you have two pages, page one with a 4-choice radio button and, page two with a text field to report the value of the selected button choice.
Page two has the following code as Page Opens:
var buttonV = this.getField("Group1").value;
getField("Text1").value = buttonV;

Can't sign signature fields in Adobe Reader XI

Using Adobe Acrobat X (not the Pro edition!) Dutch (NL) Language Edition I created a document with two signature fields. Afterwards I tried to save as "Reader Extended". (The only option I found under "Save As" that looked similar to this command in my Dutch language version was "Uitgebreide PDF Reader" (this means "Extended PDF Reader") and then "Formulieren inschakelen en opslaan in Adobe Acrobat". This last option means literally "Enable forms and save in Adobe Acrobat".)
When I opened the document in Adobe Reader XI (Dutch version again), the two signature fields are clearly visable, but do nothing when I click on them.
I've Googled extensively and also read the other topics on this FAQ which deal with similar problems, but to no avail... Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Regards,
KVD
