Auto populate field with user ID

On my form, I have a box labeled user ID that is to be inputted by the user's ID.
I like to have this box automatically populated with the person who signed in to APEX.
Also, if it is possible, maybe gray this box out when it is auto-populated by the user ID.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

The user_id is one of several fields to be populated on the form.
Instead of the user typing in his user ID, I was thinking to automatically populate it with his username that he signed into APEX with.
I am not familiar with APP_User. This may sound like the username from the login page which in that case, yes. I would like to pull this name and put it in the form.
Now maybe I can just make it hidden. This is easy.
Thanks.

Auto populate field with value same as one in a previous existing field

Hi,
Suppose I have only two fields in an acrobat form, one is name A and aonther is B. I want A and B has the same value.
If I input a date value into field A like November 20, 2010, is that possible the field B can be auto filled with the same value as that in the A field?
How about other type of data such as number?
What should I write in validation or calculation area in the field properties of B?
Thanks and looking forward to getting help from the PDF expert.

How to allow user to select pdf file on local machine and populate field with file name only

Folks,
I have a project requirement that I am stumped on. I am admittedly a novice, so forgive questions that may seem obvious.
My requirement is a form running on a client system where the user can click a button and select a PDF file name from a PDF on their local machine and then populate a form field with that file path & filename. The file names vary between all machines, so there is no static list. Note that the PDF is not embedded, nothing is executed, I simply need the file name.
There are several of these on a form (20+), so manual name entry is too error prone. I would like to use a 'browse' type dialog, but can not figure out how to implement it.
I've looked at app.browseForFile, but the users can not install a javascript file in their adobe folder or any other files; the functionality has to be integral with the original PDF.
Functionally, this is no different from the image object file browse, except that I need a PDF instead of an image file, so there doesn't seem like there should be a security issue that is any different from those surrounding the image object.
I've been stumped on this for the entire week, and I have a deadline rapidly approaching, so any examples or suggestions (please remember I'm a novice) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Paul - do you have any sample code of how to attach the PDF? Or how the user can select a PDF to open? I might be able to attach it, retrieve the file name, and then un-attach it.
Alternatively, do you know how to retrieve the file name from the imagePath object? It will let you select PDF files, but I can't find info on how to retrieve the file name. It should be the way you would retrieve the file name for an image.
As a novice in this, thanks for your help and patience!

Auto-populate fields in Custom Object Based on Another Record

Hello,
I am hoping to auto-populate a few default values in a new Custom Object record based on an associated Lead record. The layout is this:
I use the Lead record to take care of most of the information in the sales stages until the product is sold. The Lead record has fields to record information for a one product sale. The sales person can then use the Custom Object (called 'GX Additional Product') (which shows up in the Related Information section of the Lead record) to add additional items to a sales order request. Many of the fields in the GX Additional Product (custom object) record are identical to fields already filled out in the Lead record.
What I would like to do, is when a new GX Additional Product (custom object) is added to the Lead record, those identical fields already filled out in the Lead record, by default, populate the corresponding fields in the new GX Additional Product (custom object) record.
Is this possible? Is this something that can be done with JoinFieldValues? If so, I've had a bit of confusion trying to set up a JoinFieldValues expression.
If you have any information to share that would be helpful, that would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Hi,
You can use JoinFieldValue to Custom Objects from other entities, cause you will have other objects' ID recorded inside the CO's, when you open a new detail record associated with the parent. Make sure your custom object is showing as a detail section (N:1) into lead´s main page. Try with one field first, using the exact syntax provided at samples listed at product documentation.

Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section. Is this possible? If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
Many thanks,
Andy

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

Auto populate fields in Numbers for iPad

Hi all,
I'm looking to set up a quotation sheet in Numbers on the iPad. I'd like to be able to get the fields to auto populate when a product code is entered. Is there anyway to do this in Numbers on the iPad or am I asking to much?

You can use the "Custom Calculation Script" in Acrobat. How to do (not so simple) form calculations by Thom Parker. Text field values can by accessed like a number in Acrobat with custom calculation script. The "+" operator is not only the additive operator but for string values is the concatenation operator.

Using a rule to auto-populate fields

I'm using InfoPath/SharePoint 2010.
I work for a law firm and I am designing an InfoPath form for a SharePoint portal. We have a database will a list of matter numbers and names. One of the fields is called, Matter number and the other, Matter name. I want users to be able to type
in the matter number, and have that number validated against the database to auto-populate the matter name in the matter name field. Does anyone know how I would be able to do that?

This would be done in InfoPath.
Click on your Matter Name field and then select properties. For default value, select the data source as your other data source and then highlight the Matter name field. Click filter data and use the form field for Matter number.

Seeking Pdf form help - javascript formula to auto-populate fields based on data from other fields.

Hi there, I am new to PDF form work, and am wondering if someone could help me with a javascript formula.
I want to auto-populate the EXPIRYDATE field, as the same date as the entered AUTHORIZATIONDATE field, but 4 years later.
So, I want to be able to enter 11/14/2014 in the AUTHORIZATIONDATE date, and have 11/14/2018 auto populate in the EXPIRYDATE field.
Seems simple I know, but I've messed around quite a bit and can't seem to make it work. Is this possible??
Any help would be very much appreciated!!

And what have you done?
This can only be done with custom JavaScript programing.
The value of date type fields are text field and not numeric data. The first task is to convert the dates to a number on some type of number sequence that is a mapping to dates.
Have you looked at the Acrobat JavaScript API Reference, the MDN JavaScript reference?
I would use the Acrobat JavaScript util.scand to covert the date string to the number of milliseconds from January 1, 1970 midnight. and then use the getFullYear method of the date object for the year value and add 4 years to that value and then use the setFullYear method to set the year for the date object. Now you can use the util.printd method to format the date object as a date string with a specific format.
// get the date value, format of date string and years to add;
var cDate = "11/14/2014"; // date value;
var cFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"; // date format;
var nYears = 4; // years to add;
// convert date string to date object;
var oDate = util.scand(cFormat, cDate);
if(oDate == null) {
app.alert("Error converting " + cDate + " using format " + cFormat, 0, 1);
// add years to date object;
oDate.setFullYear(oDate.getFullYear() + nYears);
// display result;
var cExpireyDate = util.printd(cFormat, oDate);
app.alert("Authorization Date: " + cDate + "." +
"\nExpire Date: " + cExpireyDate, 3, 0);

Pre-Populate field with a local XML

Hello,
What I want to achieve is to pre-populate fields on the opening of my PDF with an XML. It seems I have the choice between xfa.host.importData("filename.xdp") or xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(filename.xml,0,1).
I know Acrobat have a limited access to filesystem for security and I don't want to start a web server.
My question is Acrobat Professional have a default location to look if no path or HTTP address is provide?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply,
Ideally on MacOS 10,6 (Xserver). If it does not work on a Mac environment I can use Windows Server 2003 R2.

Auto populate fields based on dropdown selection

New to forms and needing some insight
Is there a way to auto populate a series of fields based on the selection of a dropdown box
for instance;
chosing a customer's name from a dropdown box would auto populate the address, city,state zip etc...

Yes, but not easy and you do not want to have a large number of items.

Auto Populate Field in One Table with Primary Key from another table.

Greetings all,
I have created two tables. One for Root Cause which will be the based description information of an analysis. Each Root cause can have many corrective actions.
My Table structure is as follows:
RCCA TABLE:
=====================================
Column Name     Data Type     Nullable
RCCAID     NUMBER     No
DESCRIPTION     VARCHAR2(4000)     Yes
SUMMARY     VARCHAR2(4000)     Yes
OWNER     VARCHAR2(4000)     Yes
DATEOFINCIDENT DATE     Yes
STATUS     VARCHAR2(4000)     Yes
CORRECTIVE ACTION TABLE
=====================================
Column Name     Data Type     Nullable
CAID     NUMBER     No
RCCAID     NUMBER     No
CANUMBER      NUMBER     Yes
CACTION     VARCHAR2(4000)      Yes
DATEDUE     DATE     Yes
COMMENTS     VARCHAR2(4000)      Yes
So I have a form that creates the RCCA and then I have another form that I want to feed off of the first form. My thought was that when the RCCA was created, it would open a report of the RCCA and then in another region of the page I would add corrective action form. What I am looking to do is when I press the Create Corrective Action, it will automatically populate the RCCAID in the Corrective Action Table so that it is associated directly to the RCCA. I don't want to have to have someone know what the RCCAID is from teh RCA table because they are autogenerated.
There may be a better way to do this and since I am new to APEX and to Oracle Databases, I am just going with what my logic tells me. Any assistance or thoughts would be appreciated.
Assuming there would be some type of trigger?
I will have to be able to view each RCCA and CA in a report that customers will see.
Thanks in Advance
Wally

SCCM 2012 Query to populate collection with users of 3 similar characters

Hi,
I'm trying to create a query to populate a collection for my QA users. I have 5 QA users and about 10,000 users on the domain. Those users are inside a "TQA" group so I just need to know a way to create a dynamic collection that will be populated
automatically with this TQA users and because of more people will be joining the ranks of QA testing the collection will help to mitigate maintenance.
At the moment we have a query that doesn't works at all so I had to manually update my collections every time we test a product. My query code does not seems to populate with the info I need.
This is the code:
select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName = "TQA%" order by SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName
Any thoughts ?
Kind Regards.

If you're using % in the value field the operator must be "Like" . In your case, the query should look like
select SMS_R_USER.ResourceID,SMS_R_USER.ResourceType,SMS_R_USER.Name,SMS_R_USER.UniqueUserName,SMS_R_USER.WindowsNTDomain from SMS_R_User where SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName Like
"TQA%" order by SMS_R_User.UserPrincipalName

Auto-populate Field value From a File Picker Window

I have a PDF form with many fields where my users are required to enter the filename of documents. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
I've been trying to find a way to create a field Action that does the following:
User clicks field
File browser window opens
User selects relevant file
Filename and extension is placed into the field that was clicked
Any tips or suggestions on how to implement this would be welcome.
Additionally, if it is possible, could it support multiple field/documents in a single interactions. Example: User clicks field1 and selects 5 files. The files filenames are placed in fields1, field2, field3, field4, and field5 respectively.
P.S.
I am not trying to attach files to the PDF. I just want the filenames to be placed into the form.

Are the files being selected PDF files, or other types? There's another method that can be used for file selection, but it only lists PDF files. It is possible (at least on Windows computers) to use it to select any file-type, but it's a bit tricky...
If not, using a hidden field is your only option. But you can reset if after copying the file-name to the other field, like this:
this.getField("FilePath").browseForFileToSubmit();
var filePath = this.getField("FilePath").value;
this.getField("FileName").value = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("\\")+1);
this.getField("FilePath").value = "";
If you use this code (as the button's Mouse Up action), make sure you remove all other codes associated with the text fields. And you don't need to create a duplicate field for each file selection field, only one will do... It can even be placed in a doc-level function so you only have to call it from each button and have the code itself in a single location.
