Auto-Create a form number when form is opened.

Hello,
I was wondering if I can auto-create a number to populate in sequence every time I open the form?  For example, Microsoft Word, Excel auto populates the date when the form is open.  I'd like the same functionality when creating a form to auto-populate a number counter each time the form is opened.
Any ideas?

That depends on how the PDF is being created and served to users.
If you are simply putting an interactive PDF form on a file share or a web site, you could attach script to a form event to generate a unique id but it will not be a sequential number. To create a sequentially unique id you will have to call a server process which maintains the sequential number through a call to a persistent store (a database, XML file, flat file, etcetera).
If you are generating the PDF form using LiveCycle (server solution), the server process used for generating the form could call a process as described above.

  • How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

    How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?  I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page.  I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image.  This is for a very simple question/answer book.   The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something.  I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified. 
    Is this possible?

    Have yiu tried the PopOver widget?  You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
    With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

  • Updating a field that generates random number when form is reset..

    I have a field that will generate a random number when the form is initially opened. THis fiekd runs an initialization script of : var randomnumber=Math.floor(math.random()*99999) and then a calculation script of randomnumber.
    The field value is set as Calculated - Read Only.
    When I hit the Reset button and it clears all the input fields for the form i would like to have it re calculate a new random number. I am not knowledgable in any scripting language and what I have so far I found by searching the forums.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know if it should matter, but the field to update is on a page other than the one with the reset button. And, the above is not working.
    I tried it as you stated above fieldname.rawvalue=randomnumber and I tried pagename.fieldname.rawvalue=randomnumber

  • I emailed a PDF form and when the receiver opens it, the document has errors on it. How do I fix this problem?

    I emailed a PDF file and when the receiver opened it there were errors in the file. Words on the document appeared different and weren't what they were supposed to be. How do I fix this problem?

    What did the errors say? Can you post a copy of the pdf so we can test out. The presets embed the font, but might be a unicode issue, or one of the few fonts which are copyrighted and do not allow embedding.
    What application was the pdf was created from, what settings were used, and if you can outline the fonts. What font or font(s) are the ones reflowing?

  • Forms Hang when trying to open

    We are using Oracle 10.1, on 32 bit Windows XP SP2, IE 6, jre 1.6 on the client side. The end users at time uses multiple forms and also uses Oracle Discoverer 10 at the same time. Print out reports uses Adobe Reader 9.1(which is another story), with java 1.6.7
    We have team of developers that created the forms and application in oracle. I deal with the end users.
    Issues we have been getting are:
    1. Users attempt to open a form and the "hour glass" appears and then hangs. We close the application by closing the IE window.
    2. As time goes on we have been seeing more and more users with this issue. Those that use the application more heavily seem to be having more issues
    3. I called the development team and they have stated that they do not see anything in the database of their logs to indicate that something is wrong.
    What was done to remedy issue:
    1. Cleared IE temp files, cookies, history
    2. Cleared Java temp files - this seems to work for a while
    3. Uninstalled users profile and re-install - it helps for a bit and then the issues comes back
    4. Re-created a new PC from scratch
    On the client computer we do not see any error messages. The system just hangs. It is happening on a daily basis for some users and getting more frequent to others as they use the applications more.
    Does anyone else have this issues? The developer team said that it was a setting on the client side. I have been searching for a while, but have not come up with anything. Can someone assist? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    New information:
    I was monitoring an end-user, when the freezing occoured during pressing a button. The applet freezes, hourglass is displayed, but I've noticed that I can drag/move the window around and it still gets updated. I didn't gray-out.
    I tried attaching the JConsole utility on the Java.exe process. After some digging I found the following:

  • Form hangs when try to open excel

    Hi everybody,
    When I try to upload some data from excel it work's ok when i'm doing it on xp, but when i'm on windows server 2003 won't upload. Form hangs on code noted below. On both OS are Excel 2003.
    args := OLE2.create_arglist;
    OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, p_filename);
    vdoc :=OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(vworkbooks,'Open',args); -- on this code form hangs
    OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
    I tried various things but without success.
    If I need provide some additional information please let me know.
    Thanks

    What version of WebUtil are you using? There is a known problem with 1.0.2 (beta) where the EXCEL.EXE process is not released by the form.

  • Acrobat Form button that when clicked will open a Windows Folder?

    Is there a way to have a button on an Adobe Acrobat Form that when clicked will open a Windows Folder located with a predefined UNC path? I'm looking for a scripting solution.
    UNC example: \\myserver\myshares\engineering\changeorders
    I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v. 8.2.
    Thanks for any help that you can give.

    This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
    Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel".  These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
    Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
    Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
    Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
    Any other ideas?

  • Extended Edit box loses the typed value when form is resized

    Extended Edit box loses the typed value when form is resized:
    Hi,
    I have added an extended edit box in a system form (SO form). When form is resized, I'm programmatically repositioning the edit box for proper alignment. When I do that, whatever has been typed in the edit box is lost (which is not yet saved).
    If I don't do repositioning of the edit box, then it is working fine - whatever the user typed remains there.
    Why is this happening, and how can I work-around this?
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Geetha
    Edited by: Rui Pereira on Dec 23, 2008 4:24 PM

    Hi Geeta,
    Try to disable the scroll of Extended Edit text.
    its in the property list of the Extended Edit Textbox's object.
    Actually its also with SBO's own extendedBoxes but whenever we mouse over on the box. it again appears but ita after saving the data.
