Add Text From Multiple Fields Into One

I'm creating a form in Acrobat 9 that lets you fill in information for four cars. For each of the four cars, there is a text box for Manufacturer, Model, and Year. I have the boxes labeled Manuf1, Mod1, Year1, Manuf2, Mod2, etc.
Then I two other text boxes called Text1 and Text2. In Text1 I want all the manufacturers listed together( example: Ford, Chevy, BMW) and the same thing for the models in Text2. What would be even better would be if in Text1 and Text2 the names could be seperated with "or".
Is there a javascript that can do this and not repeat a name (if, for example, the first two cars were both Ford, the third was BMW and the fourth was Chevy, I want Text1 to display: Ford or BMW or Chevy, not: Ford or Ford or BMW or Chevy)?
Thank you for the help!

The code sample you provided is using AcroForm scripting and will not work in this form. There is another post similar to this one...have a look at this one it might help you out. It is doing the opposite of what you want but the concept of the loop and how each field is addressed inside ofthe loop is what you wil need.

Copy text from multiple fields to one field

I would like to copy text from multiple fields into one field. Each of these smaller fields will only be allowed to have one character. The larger field will not be able to be edited.
So far, I have thought of creating a naming heirarchy for these fields. I was going to then call upon the array of the parent and set the value of the parent to equal this array.
var parent = this.getField("everything");
var array = everything.getArray();
var v;
for(parent=0; parent<array.length; parent++)
v = a + " " + v; //Im guessing this line is incorrect
parent.value = a;
Any suggestions? or a better way of doing this.
Thanks

How can I have text from multiple fields on one layer, copy to one field on another layer?

A little help please as it's been years since I've done any coding of any sort.
So I have a 4 page document with various field types. I have a document script that gets "TodaysDate" that works perfectly and a few other scripts as well.
So what I'm trying to do is find a work around for the following:
I have 3 fields - SURNAME, FIRSTNAME & dob.
And I want what is typed into these fields to populate into 1 field. And according to this tutorial (http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript) it's not exactly possible. At least I think that's what it says.
However I'm hoping that maybe I could have a Submit button at the end of that document that when clicked would copy the text from those 3 fields (that I would have on 1 layer) into 1 field on a 2nd layer. Is that even possible??
I'd also like to have the document Print, Save (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the file name), Email (using the text in the field on the 2nd layer as the subject line) and Export to a specific Excel spreadsheet.
I don't want much do I?
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro on a Windows PC but also have access to Acrobat 8 Professional. And I'm going to want the form to run in Acrobat Reader X.
So far I have for the 3 fields into 1 on another layer:
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
event.value=this.getField("SURNAME"+"-"+"FIRSTNAME"+"-"+"dob").valueAsString;
But I have no idea how to call the event.value from 1 layer to another or if any of that code above would even work at all.
I have a script that I believe will work perfectly for the Save and Email function:
Using the “doc.submitForm()” function
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
// Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;
if(cBenAddr != "") cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
            cURL: cEmailURL,
            cSubmitAs:"XML",
            cCharSet:"utf-8"
I'll work out the Export to Excel thing later as I've seen many tutorials on that. But can I do the 3 fields to 1 thing at all?
Please Help!!!

Sorry Gilad. I hope I'm not getting on your nerves (too much) but as I said it's been a while since I did any formal code. And I'm trying to do this code for a work document but I'm doing it in amongst so many other things I do for my job that it's difficult to get the time to concentrate for longer than 5 mins.
I didn't get a chance to try that code until just now. I guess I asked again as I thought (from what I'd read) that it wouldn't be that simple.
So I've added that code and I get no errors. But it doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I've added the code like this in the Custom calculation script of a separate field I've called FileName. And on the Button i'm using I've added: buttonClick()
function buttonClick(){
if(buttonClick==false)
          event.value=this.getField("SURNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("FIRSTNAME").valueAsString + "-" + this.getField("dob").valueAsString;
So now I'm guessing that becasue i'm not getting an error or a result that I've screwed it up still. Have I put the code in the correct area? Have I assigned a the buttonClick() function correctly?

Items from multiple folders into one?

Any programs that can move thing's out of multiple folders into one?
I'm thinking in particular iPhoto, roll folders with images inside, want to move them all out and into one folder. I would rather not go through each one and move manually as could take a while, especially if there are say hundreds of folders each with photos inside i want to move into one.
Must be a program or something that will do it?

I find one:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29405/bundle-files
I've never tested it and it has no reviews. Proceed at your own risk.

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

Selecting from multiple tables, into one internal table

Hi,
What is the best & most efficient method of selecting from multiple table (in my case 6,) into one internal table?
Thanks,
John
Points will be rewarded and all responses will be highly appreciated.

I have simple example :
First one - Join 5 tables
data : f1 type i,
          f2 type i,
          f3 type i.
start-of-selection.
get run time field f1.
write the query 4 or 5 tables join.
get run time field f2.
f3 = f2 - f1 ( Total time).
Second one - joins 3 table and use for all entries
data : f1 type i,
          f2 type i,
          f3 type i.
start-of-selection.
get run time field f1.
write the query 3 tables join and use for all entries
get run time field f2.
f3 = f2 - f1. ( Total time )
Finally you can have time diffrence between the both sql statement.

Combine CSV columns from multiple sources into one

Hi,
I am trying to import column from one CSV file and output it into additional columns on a Get-MailboxStatistics | Export-CSV command. The issue with the script I have created is that when use an Expression to create the new column it outputs all of the items
in the column from the import CSV into one row. See script below, I have highlighted the expressions that are not working.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
[Array]$Global:NotesMailSizeMaster = (Import-Csv c:\usermigration.csv).MailSizeMaster
[Array]$Global:NotesMailSizeRefresh = (Import-Csv c:\usermigration.csv).MailSizeRefresh
[Array]$Global:UserAlias = (Import-Csv c:\usermigration.csv).Alias
if (!(Get-PSSnapin |
Where-Object { $_.name -eq "Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin" }))
ADD-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin
$Output = ForEach ($Alias in $UserAlias)
{ Get-MailboxStatistics $Alias | select-object DisplayName, ServerName, StorageGroupName, Database, @{ Name = "TotalItemSize"; expression = { $_.TotalItemSize.Value.ToMB() } },
@{ Name = "NotesMailSize(PreRefresh)"; expression = { $NotesMailSizeMaster } }, @{
Name = "NotesMailSize(PostRefresh)"; expression = { $NotesMailSizeRefresh }
$filename = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMdd")
$Output | export-csv -Path c:\"$filename-mailboxstats.csv" -NoTypeInformation

There's a lot wrong with this script:
1. You're importing the same file 3x; you should import one and reference the things you need out of it.
2. If the CSV has more than one row in it, your .notation you're using to access the MailSizeMaster, MailSizeRefresh, and Alias properties is used incorrectly. If you are trying to reference each of those properties from an array of different entries,
the proper way would be:
$Import = @(Import-Csv C:\usermigration.csv)
$MailSizeMaster = $Import | Select-Object MailSizeMaster
OR
$MailSizeMaster = $Import | Select-Object -Expand MailSizeMaster
...the "OR" is not PowerShell.
3. I don't know if you can concatenate different objects with the select-object cmdlet like you are. However, what you could do is create a custom object to load the values into and then output that object:
$filename = (Get-Date).ToString("yyyyMMdd")
foreach ($item in $Import) {
$MS = Get-MailboxStatistics $item.Alias
New-Object PSObject -Property @{
'DisplayName' = $MS.DisplayName
'ServerName' = $MS.ServerName
'StorageGroupName' = $MS.StorageGroup
'Database' = $MS.Database
'NotesMailSizePre' = $item.MailSizeMaster
'NotesMailSizePost' = $item.MailSizeRefresh
} | Select-Object DisplayName,ServerName,StorageGroupName,Database,NotesMailSizePre,NotesMailSizePost | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation "C:\$($filename)-mailboxstats.csv"

Merging events from multiple calendars into one calendar

I am using iCal version 2.0.5 on Mac OS 10.4.11.
Right now, there are 3 separate calendars setup in iCal: Personal, Home and Unfiled. What I would like to do is merge all of the events from these calendars into the Personal calendar and then delete the other two calendars (Home and Unfiled). Is there any trick to easily doing this?
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Before you do anything else, use iCal>File>Back up Database..., and save the backup to your Desktop.
Then use iCal>File>Export... for the Calendars that you want to merge into "Personal", and then delete Home/Unfiled from your CALENDARS sources pane.
Next click on the exported copies on the Desktop and you will be presented with an "Add Events" window which will allow you to choose "Import" into the Personal Calendar.
If everything is working as desired use Back up Database... for the new setup.

How do I add multiple images into one file?

I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

SQL Query -How2bring multiple results into one field using Formatted Search

Hi Everyone
i am trying to bring in the results of the field dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT using a formatted search into a row level using the following query:
SELECT     dbo.LOT_ITEM.LOT
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN dbo.LOT_ITEM ON dbo.DLN1.ItemCode = dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM
WHERE     dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM=$[DLN1.ItemCode]
however the result of the dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT field could be more then one value depending on how many lots are assigned for that item
(for example this query would be similar to assigning batch/serial numbers to an item being despatched - as you can choose multiple batches/serials depending on the quantities available and required and then move from the left to the right side of the selection window) if that makes sense!
is it possible to bring in the multiple results into one field? and how can i amend the above query to include this?
Thankyou in advance :o)

Hi Suda
Thanks for replying :o) but im not sure about the query?
just to simplify it (as the query im working with is to do with 3rd party addons) i have used the serial/batchs field instead and used standard demo database fields from SBO 2005 sp01:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode='g1000' and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = '193'
The above brings me the relevant results but when i change it to be used in a formatted search:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode=$[dln1.itemcode] and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = $[dln1.DocEntry]
i cant seem to get it to work - now this may be because the serial number is not allocated until teh record is added to the system, however when this happens i am unable to go back in and manually trigger the query as the delivery note rows cannot be selected!
i think as what im originally wanting an answer for is same as this example, im wanting to know if this is even possible?
Thanks

Text issues merging multiple pdfs into one pdf

Hello, when I merge multiple pdfs into one pdf document my text is missing or garbled. I spent hours yesterday trying to figure this out, from insuring the text was embedded and print setting were correct. Please help!!
Using Adobe Pro 9.0
Thanks,
Faith

Acrobat Pro is the application you use for working with PDFs, making minor edits, combining multiple PDFs into a single file, extracting or replacing pages, doing fancier form work than ID has the ability to produce, and even creating PDF from a number of other file formats. I'm not sure your question about maintaining the quality of your photos is really applicable -- it would depend on how youare getting from the photo to PDF to begin with. The use of Acrobat in and of itself won't be the determiner.
That said, I couldn't live without Acrobat Pro in my workflow. Since you are on CS5.5 you have a couple of options. You could purchase a subscription to Creative Cloud (at a discount for the first year), which would give you access not only to Acrobat, but all of the other programs and tools included in the suite, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee, or you can buy a standalone perpetual license to either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard (I didn't realize Standard was still an option, and you might not need all the features of Pro -- you can compare at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html).

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

BI for NW04S: Concatenating multiple chars into one field in BI query

Hi,
We have BI for NW04S. We have a requirement of concatenating multiple characteristics into one field in the BI report. This single field should have the usual drill down and other olap functionalities that a single characteristic usually enjoy in a BI report.
In BI for NW04 (Not the S) this probably can be done using the table interface in WAD. However in BI7 WAD functionality are through Java.
Also can this be done using Query designer alone.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on your Query designer option. You can always have a variable and in the user exit can write code, but what is not clear that
1> How will you acheive the contatenation done for every row of the report in the BEX user exit variable( since it's called during the beginning of the query execution and not for all rows of the report
2> How do you transfer the char variable into a char field in the report.
Please elaborate .
Thanks
