Add row / delete row in PDF Form

Alright so I am really struggling here and no one has been able to provide me a solid answer to date.
1. I am creating a PDF form I want users to be able to fill and remit via email
2. I have created the form in Acrobat 9 Pro via the form Wizard and in some combination with MS Word 2007 for text and table fields to get the forms wizard to auto-populate Adobe form fields.
3. Some of the tables, i.e. In the first table for "Full Time" and "Part Time" should have check boxes - works fine to date. While others should have drop downs, i.e. platform build, etc - works fine to date.
4. This is the pressing issue. As they exist today there is a large table as you can clearly see. I want users to be able to simply click an "Add Row" or "Delete Row" button to add another row to the table (or delete) without having to have a massive table.
I've watched demos on Lynda.com (all of which are irrelevant and provided 0 value), tried to work with what people have responded with previously but all are mainly sample documents and I don't know where to start. In short, I open my form and other forms in LifeCycle Designer ES, take a look at the buttons people have created, the scripts, the XML source, etc. but no idea where to go. If the button needs to be in the table. How it should be scripted. etc. I cannot find a video tutorial anywhere on the web and all the responses simply provide a sample but no idea how to make it a reality in terms of translating their sample into a working dynamic form in PDF. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

For a dynamic table you have to design a new XFA-form in Designer.
Here's a little tutorial how to create dynamic tables.
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2009/02/25/expandable-table-with-totals/
Just a little correction.
You can inport Docx-Files with tables and add / remove rows in a dynamic PDF.
But, this is not handy, if the table contains more than one row when it is imported because Designer gives every detected row the same name (Row).
Delete all row excepting the first one and set it to repeatable in the binding tab.
Then you can use the addInstance() and removeInstance() methods to add/remove row to the table.
Here an example file I made from a docx file.

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

Do the people who made the form SAY you can add an attachment? If not, do not consider it. The form will probably be read by a computer, so it will only look in the form fields provided.

How to add a photo to a pdf form via the iOS app

How do I add a photo to a pdf form via the iOS app? I need to fill out a form for work using field observations and photos. I can easily fill out the text portions of the form but I'm unable to add the photos from my phone. Is this possible?

Does the form have a provision to insert images (e.g. a Browse button)?

Multi Row Delete & Row selector in 1.5

Hi All,
Please forgive my ignorance.
But, are these processes (Multi Row Delete, Row selector) not available for HTML DB 1.5.
What is the other way to do this.
Thanks
Monika

Hi Monika,
It's been a while since I used 1.5 so I can't answer that, however whilst I'm not generally in favour of upgrading just for the sake of it, is there a reason why you wouldn't consider upgrading to a later release?

How to add or delete rows in tablecontrol?

Hi,
I am using a tablecontrol to enter data records.
I want to use 2 buttons, one to insert a row into a tablecontrol and another to delete a selected row of a tablecontrol.
How do I insert or delete rows of a tablecontrol?
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
Please look at the below sections......
ADDING BLANK LINES
To add blank lines to table control we do not need to change any of the fields of the structure CXTAB_CONTROL simply adding blank lines to the internal table will do.
INSERT INITIAL LINE INTO itab.
DELETING SELECTED ROWS
Deletion of selected rows is simple. To delete selected rows first we will determine the rows which have been selected through selection column .
FOR SINGLE ROW SELECTION
IF mark EQ 'X' . "mark is the name of selection column field
DELETE itab FROM workarea .
ENDIF.
FOR MULTIPLE ROW SELECTION
*To deetermine the rows selected we will use the selection column field to loop
*through the internal table.
LOOP AT itab WHERE mark EQ 'X'. "mark is the name of selection column field
DELETE itab " and is part of the internal table .
ENDLOOP.
Thanks,
Ravi Kanth

How to delete checkbox in pdf form using adobe acrobat professional 6.

I am trying to modify a pdf form having a single layer. There are some checkboxes which i want to delete. I am using Adobe acrobat 6 professional. USing Advanced Editing tools -> Touchup Object Tool , i have try to delete the checkbox, it deletes all fields and tables in the form and there is only text left on the form. Any help would be appreciated. . Thanks@

You do not use the "Object Tool" to edit forms. There should be a "Form" menu option and under this option you will have the opton "Edit form in Acrobat". This is the way one should edit/create a form in Acrobat.

Allowing users to add additional lines in a PDF form?

I'm using Adobe acrobat X Pro to create PDF forms to capture invoicing information. Yet I can't figure out how to allow a user to add additional charges. I could create a form that just had a large amount of charge lines that could be left blank but was hopeing to allow for a dynamically adjusting form where someone could click a button to just add a new line entry into the form and the form would adjust down and enter in a new set of line entries. Is it possible to do this in Acrobat X Pro?

For the foorm to auto-adjust in response to adding a new line, you should look into what a dynamic XFA form that you create with LiveCycle Designer has to offer. LiveCycle Designer comes with Acrobat Pro as a separate application. More information is in the Designer help docs, in the LiveCycle Designer forum here, and in a number of tutorials at acrobatusers.com

Add filename and path into PDF-form

Hello,
I create different PDF-forms for our company with LiveCycle Designer 8.2.1 .
Now I have to integrate the name of the form-file and its path automatically into the form. My idea is to place a text-field, I will give the type "calculated" in the value-tab of the object-palette. This Text-field should be filled with the file name and the path where it's stored in the background. I find these two values in the info-tab of the form-properties dialog-box. My questions is: How do I get these values, that I can place them via script into my text field?
Can someone give me a hint? Thanks.

To get the path ... event.target.path;
To get the file name .... event.target.documentFileName;

Can I add a footer to a PDF form?

I will be collecting responses in forms central by distributing the PDF form to respondents. Respondents will need to print out their completed form before submitting it. When I tested it myself, no pagination printed. I would also like to incorporate company logo in a footer and cannot figure out if that is possible. Deb

I can tell you that all Mac users will miss out. I just posted a question about PDF Viewer not work on Mac for FireFox and SeaMonkey. I had posted a Bug. I received an answer from someone in the Top echelons of Adobe said they have absolute no interesting in get the Plugin working for Mac. They don't wish to waste their money and effort. So if you intend to make PDF availble in on a Website Mac's will not be able to use them. They will have to download them look at them or fill them out the send them Back in.
Fortunately there is Nice fellow schubert from Germany make a Pligin That works unfortunate it doen't do button and don't do form , Though he has requested permission from adobe to do so. They refuse.

Adding and deleting "rows" in pdfs

I need to know the best way to edit pdfs. What I have are files that resemble a table setup in Word. I would need to add and delete "rows" of information which are also set up in columns. I also may need to edit some of the text in a row.
What is the best tool for me to use? Acrobat? Illustrator? We are currently using v.10 on Macs. Is there a fairly simple way to accomplish this?

I don't think there is a good way to do this. Except for very simple edits, it's better to edit the source document and recreate the PDF. If there is no source document available, you can try exporting to Word from Acrobat and see if you get something usable.

within one row i have one field containing the status and i want to be able to select the status from a combo/dropdown-field and set it for this particular row.

Hi,
Report BCALV_EDIT_04 shows how to append and delete rows.
Report BCALV_EDIT_06 shows drop down list for cells in a column.
These report should be available in any R/3 system including all ABAP Preview versions.
Hope this can help.

My add/delete row function is unselectable. How do I fix this?

For no reason that I can guess I am unable to add or delete rows. That little circle icon with the two horizontal dashes is gone and when I click on a numbered row the 'add/delete row' choices are grayed out, unelectable. My spreadsheet needs are VERY basic so I'm at a loss for what has happened because I've been using this file. It WAS working like it should, but now it's not and I don't know if I clicked something OFF or what. I am not new to a Mac, so I'm not a newbie with this stuff. Any ideas??????

Try deactivating any filter you have set on the table.

UDO: Add and Remove rows to/from Matrix.

Hi all,
Yes, I know there are lots of topics about adding and removing rows but I was having trouble with these and I need some expert's opinion.
I'm working with a Document type UDO, with 1 header table (ADAT_ONR) and 1 child table (ADAT_NR1 - MatrixUID = "mtx_NR").
I add the first row when the user chooses the business partner.
If oMatrix.RowCount = 0 Then
     oMatrix.AddRow()
      oMatrix.AutoResizeColumns()
     oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_LineId").Cells.Item(1).Specific.Value = 1
End If
Then, the user has to press the AddRow button to add new rows, and the user can only add 1 new blank row. Later I'll change the row adding behavior to mimic B1s.
            If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
                Select Case pVal.ItemUID
                    Case "AddRow"
                        'ItemHandler_Click = AddRow(oCompany, oApplication, oForm, oForm.Items.Item("mtx_NR").Specific.RowCount())
                        oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("mtx_NR").Specific
                        If oMatrix.RowCount > 0 Then
                            If Trim(oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_PltCode").Cells.Item(oMatrix.RowCount).Specific.Value) = "" Then
                                oApplication.StatusBar.SetText(TranslateStr(oApplication, MustChoosePallet), BoMessageTime.bmt_Short)
                                Exit Function
                            End If
                        End If
                        ItemHandler_Click = NewLine(oCompany, oApplication, oForm)
                        Exit Function

        ByRef oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form) As Boolean
        NewLine = False
        Try
            oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("mtx_NR").Specific
            Dim Index As Integer = oMatrix.RowCount
            With oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@ADAT_NR1")
                .Clear()
            End With
            oMatrix.AddRow()
            oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_LineId").Cells.Item(Index + 1).Specific.Value = (Index + 1).ToString
            oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
            oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
            oForm.Refresh()
            NewLine = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            oApplication.MessageBox("NewLine(): " & oCompany.GetLastErrorCode.ToString & ", " & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Function
When I Add or Update the data, I clear the last blank row, if it exists.
           '// In the Click Event
           If pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
                Select Case pVal.ItemUID

                                oMatrix.DeleteRow(oMatrix.RowCount)
                                'oMatrix.FlushToDataSource()

My question is, Is there an easier way to Add and Delete Rows??
BTW, I still have a problem so solve. With this code, when the user deletes a row the row numbering is incorrect. Example: if I have to rows in a matrix and I delete row nº1, row nº2 will hold the same number...
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advanced,
Vítor Vieira

Hi Victor,
there is a Form Data event which you ca use in that try to write the code for adding a row after updating and delete a row while inserting and add a row while traversing.
sample code.
Sub FormDataEvent(ByRef BusinessObjectInfo As SAPbouiCOM.BusinessObjectInfo, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean)
        Try
            Select Case BusinessObjectInfo.EventType
                Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_DATA_ADD, SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_DATA_UPDATE

                        oDBs_Detail= objForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("@Line")
                        objMatrix = objForm.Items.Item("83").Specific
                        If objMatrix.VisualRowCount <> 0 Then
                            objMatrix.DeleteRow(objMatrix.VisualRowCount)
                            objMatrix.FlushToDataSource()
                        End If

                            End If
                    ElseIf BusinessObjectInfo.ActionSuccess = True Then
                        objForm = objMain.objApplication.Forms.Item(BusinessObjectInfo.FormUID)

                          End If
                    End If
                Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_DATA_LOAD
                    If BusinessObjectInfo.ActionSuccess = True Then
