Auto-Filling Dates on a Blank Calendar

Hello All,
I have a blank calendar with each day block having a form for the numeric day. I am trying to have the blocks auto-fill so that when the user enters day "1" the remaining days will auto-fill there respective number. I have already figured out the "+1" script I need to link them;
event.value = ( getField("Day_1_Date").value)+1
However, I assume I need an "IF/THEN" statement so the prior unused blocks preceeding day "1" will be blank. If anyone has a better suggestion or can help me out with the latter I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

A couple of clarification points.
1) It's a single month calendar with 6 rows for weeks (allowing for any months that start on a Friday or Saturday.
2) Each form for the numeric date is labeled "Day_x_Date" (x= the block number 1-42)
I have it now that if I put in the first day in block #1, all of the remaining fields are daisy chained using the above java script (#2 looks to #1, #3 looks to#2, etc). What I want is for the user to be able to enter the first day (wherever it may fall) then the rest of the fields would auto-fill. To end it on the right date, I assume an "If/Then" with a range up to the end date would work.
I also have a block to fill the month in. It might work to link the end date to the month. For example if May is entered the statement would allow up to 31 but if June were entered it would only go up to 30. I am still very new to javascript and I'm a little (a lot) over my head with this one. New territory from just making forms on a PDF.

How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

I hope someone can please help me. I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms?
I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive.
I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields. How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers. I hope this time someone can please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files. I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files. To you mean with java script?
I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need. I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
Thank you again.

Is there a way to auto fill DATE and TIME

I have the field format set to mmddHHMM
Can you please tell me how to have the date and time auto fill when the PDF is opened?
I am new at this so details are very helpful. Thank you!

Let's say the field's name is Now. Go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and create a new item. Name it "scripts".
Delete any code that is created by default and enter this instead:
this.getField("Now").value = new Date();
Click OK and you're done. The field will update each time the file is opened.

Option to auto-fill data merge text?

Is there a way to auto-fill or auto-shrink/enlarge my data merge text entry so that the font size changes automatically and each entry can perfectly fill my text box space? I haven't been able to locate this option...I'm hoping it is possible. Thanks!
I forgot to mention - I'm using InDesign CS4.

Thanks! I did some digging and found a link to scripts...now I just need to figure out how to use scripts!

How to auto-fill data into Acrobat 9 PDF created from scanned paper form/document

Hello,
I am new to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I have scanned a paper form/document that
originally had various data lines to be written on using an ink pen. I saved
the scanned PDF as an Acrobat 9 PDF. I have added various pertinent text fields
and checkboxs to PDF form and saved it with appropriate extended setting to
allow end-user to type on PDF and save a copy. At the bottom form there is a
name/signature text field for end-user name to be typed and a calendar text date
when name/signature text field is entered .
I need to send this PDF form to various end-users using (Groupwise/Novell) email
to have them sign or type their name and date at bottom of form. Is there a way
that Adobe Acrobat 9/PDF will recognize the email sender and allow the
name/signature field to automatically fill-in signature/name textbox. Are there
tools like javascript, etc. that will help me accomplish this task?
I don't know where to begin. I am a newbie. Please help!

Auto Fill Date

Hello -
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I have a Human Resources form that I am working on. I am using an auto-date function which fills in the current date. It works great BUT when the HR person opens it, the date changes to that days current date and not the date that the person filled out the form. So, the script is doing what it was meant to do. I had not thought about what happens if someone (other than the person filling it out) else opens it after that.
Is there an automate date function that will stay on the date when the person filling it out submits it? Or can you only do this manually?
Many thanks!!!

Oh yes. Sorry about that.
Under Page Properties>Run a JavaScript I have the following:
var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
Within the Date Field Itself:
Format: mm/dd/yyyy
General: I checked off Read Only and checked off Required
Thanks so much for any help.

Auto fill date on "save as"

I have a PDF form that used by our office staff, and maybe updated several times over the course of a job. I need a date field that will update when the user "saves as", not when the file is open. I have gotten the date to stay (not update when the file is viewed) but can't seem to get it to update if the form is edited and saved again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

In Acrobat 11 you'd access it by selecting: Tools > JavaScript > Set Document Actions > Document Will Save
It should be the same for Acrobat 10, but Acrobat 9 it's under: Advanced > Document Processing > Set Document Actions

How do I edit auto fill information, eg zip code

My zip code has changed. How can I change the auto fill data to reflect the new zip.

You can highlight that entry in the drop down list and press the Delete key to remove it.<br />
Firefox should remember the new ZIP code when entered.

Clear Auto Fill

I made a mistake one day typing my email address into a field on Safari. Safari now attempts to fill this incorrect email address every time I fill in an email field. Is there anyway to clear/reset all the auto fill data?
Thank you.
Not avid.warner but david.warner

FixItPro,
Thanks for responding. I looked at the autofills listed, and none of them list the incorrect "avid.warner@" email address. Maybe this isn't really associated with autofill as much as auto correct spelling. The incorrect email suggestion shows up in an oval in the same way as suggested spellings show up on iPhone. Somehow "avid.warner@" got into a buffer/database somewhere, and I'd like to remove it.

How to auto-populate dates in a calendar based on radio buttons?

Hi,
I'm trying to create an availability form that is submitted on a monthly basis. What I'd like is to have a radio button the user could click to indicate what day the first of the month falls on (Monday through Sunday), and have fields auto-populate with the remainder of the dates on the calendar. As it stands right now, I've got the radio buttons and the text fields, but I'm running into serious issues getting the text fields to auto-fill based on the selected radio button.
I've labelled the radio button group "First Day of Month" and the individual values are "Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday" "Sunday" and "Start". The "Start" button is hidden but is checked by default.
My text fields are even simpler: "Monday 1" "Monday 2" "Monday 3" "Monday 4" and "Monday 5" (and then, obviously, repeated for each day of the week.
I am horrible at scripting, so I think that might be where I'm running into issues. What I'd like to put is something like this (only, you know, functional, and for each days' text value):
For "Monday 1"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Monday 1.value" ="1"
else "Monday 1.value" = ""
For "Wednesday 3"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "11"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Monday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "17"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Tuesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "16"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Wednesday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "15"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Thursday", "Wednesday 3" = "14"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "13"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Wednesday 3.value" = "12"
else "Wednesday 3.value" = ""
For "Sunday 5"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Sunday", "Sunday 5.value" = "29"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Friday", "Sunday 5.value" = "31"
if "First Day of Month.value" = "Saturday", "Sunday 5.value" = "30"
else "Sunday 5.value" = ""
Is this possible? I have no doubt there's a better way to do it (with proper coding and everything), so any help would definitely be appreciated!

Hello,
Which sharepoint edition you are using? I would prefer to customize your list form in infopath form then add new connection which will connect to your SQL. Later you can filter data based on cust ID. Here is the link to add connection in infopath:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/infopath-help/add-a-data-connection-to-a-microsoft-sql-server-database-HP010092823.aspx
If you want to do it via code then simple ADO.NET connector will help.

Auto filling forms based off of previously entered data.

Looking for a way to create a feild that will auto fill based on previously entered data. For example.
First________
Middle_______
Last_________
Ideally i could take someones names they enter and auto fill a feild for Last, First, Middle or even a Last, First, Middle Initial.
any thoughts??
Thanks!

Played around with this today...been very busy with other work and got this to work for Last, First mi
// Get the field values, as strings
var i = this.getField("first").valueAsString;
var j = this.getField("middle").valueAsString;
var k = this.getField("last").valueAsString;
// Set this field's value if both fields are not blank
// otherwise, set this field to blank
if (i && j && k) {
event.value = k + ", " + i + " " + j.slice(0, 1);
} else {
event.value = "";
I am brand new to this and was curious are these "var i , j, and k" just for this field. Or will these continue to be how I refer to the first , middle and last fields?
Also, other than just playing around with this, is there another way to learn this stuff? I find it fascinating.
all the best

Remember that the month is only the display, and the Full Date & Time is still there. If I change the format to reveal what is behind the curtain:

Keep Auto Fill Down A Column With Blank Cells

Hello,
I understand if one blank cell is left, auto fill cannot continue through out the rest of the column.
Is there a way to "trick" the cell into thinking there is information in the blank cell, in order for it to continue to auto-fill?
Please help

You could enter a space in a cell - it will appear to be blank. An apostrophe will work too - this makes the cell contain an empty string value.

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,
Sara
