Auto Populating Text Fields Default Values

I am using Acrobat X Pro. I have a multiple page form and would like the "Legal Address" field entry/value after typed to auto-populate, or be the default value, of my "Mailing Address" field further down the form. I can accomplish this if the fields are the same name, ***HOWEVER*** I just want it to pre-populate it and if the "Mailing Address" differs from "Legal Address" be able to type over that (Mailing Address) on the form entry without also changing the Legal Address. If the fields are named the same, both will always be the same / updated together.
Any help - or examples!

Hi Michael,
Thanks that was helpful and worked although I now appear to have another problem.
When I enter data into current title (eg Manager, Finance) data in proposed title field (eg Manager Finance) is auto populated as expected - correct
When I change the data that was auto populated in the proposed title field (eg Manager, FInance) to the new title (eg Director, Finance) is keeps the new tltle - correct
When I select something from another field eg cost code, the data I manually keyed into the proposed title reverts back to what was entered into the current title (eg Manager FInance)
Is there a way of committing the data that is entered automatically or manually so it remains in the field?
Regards,
Michael

Need help formatting text field default value

Hello,
I've received a customer request to put default text into the Value section of a text field. They're requesting that the default text include line breaks, bullets, etc. I added a Text Field object and added the default text to the Object tab > Value tab Default field but can't figure out how to add line breaks, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Saskia

Hi,
this is possible but not doable with the UI of Designer.
The workaround is as follows:
1. Create a text, enter your default text with all the formattings you need (text color, bold text, line breaks etc.)
2. Create a text field and enter any word as default value. Let's say "Default".
3. Select the text and the switch to the XML Source view.
There you will find all the formatted text between the <value> tags such as:
<value>
 <exData contentType="text/html">
 <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">This is default Text • with RichText formatting.</body>
 </exData>
</value>
4. Select the whole code between the <value> tags and copy it to the clipboard (ctrl + c).
5. Go to the Design View, select the text field, go back to the XML Source view.
6. There you'll also find the value <tags> and your default value you entered before.
<value>
 <text>Default</text>
</value>
7. Select this code section and paste the value copied before to the clipboard by pressing ctrl + v.
8. That's it. When you now go back to the Design View your text field shows a formatted RichText as defaul text.

Auto-populating text fields based on dropdown option

This has probably been covered on this forum before. I would like to auto-populate multiple text fields with pre-programmed data based on a user-selected option from a drop-down list. The file here should explain clearly what I want to do:
https://acrobat.com/#d=ID7ezZN5ZzIKgVvmgkyMiw
Where can I find an example code that would accomplish this task? Thanks.

Your form data hierarchy is different than mine. You need the brackets also, otherwisethe first assignment statements executes only.
// form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var char = this.rawValue;
TextField41.rawValue = "Data " + char + "1";
TextField42.rawValue = "Data " + char + "2";
TextField43.rawValue = "Data " + char + "3";

Auto-populating text fields

How can I set up a series of pdfs in a folder so that text from a text field (such as a name) on one pdf will populate the same text field on other pdfs in a folder?

There is no automatic way to do this.
You would need to write a plugin or extra application that talked to Acrobat to do it.

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,

its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

Hi,
To populate URL of account based on account name please refer this link.
If you are asking about the address auto populate/complete refer this link
To Retrieve from other entity and populate the fields, for example on entering the account name in opportunity form the fields from account form like Sector, Region can be retrieved and can be auto populated in opportunity form using Odata as follows.
Call the function getAccountDetails in onchange event of Companyname. Do not forget to add Jquery and Json in libraries.
function getAccountDetails() {
var companyName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("customerid").getValue();
if ((companyName != null)) {
var companyNameValue = companyName[0].name;
var companyNameID = companyName[0].id;

Auto-populated ID field?

Can I create an auto-populated ID field? Trying to create a unique record ID for an incident report form.
Thanks

Depends how many responses you anticipate, I therefore realise not ideal, a workaround I have used is;
Import responses into Excel.
The Date / Time field, whilst displayed as Date and Time, is in fact encoded.
By re formatting that column in Excel to, for instance, 'Number' (with no decimal places), you get a code for the day.
If you format, with decimal places, you get the time code as well. The more decimal places you allow, the more unique (is that English?), the code.
Just a thought

Javascript to access a field default value?

Hi,
I'm working on a 'enter' event for text fields such that if the field contents are still on their default value, it will immediate (hence the enter) clear out, but if the contents have already been changed it will let the user simply edit their changes.
For example, I'm using the caption as the To: line on a form, then the default value of the text field says "type name here". I'd like to compare the field contents to the default upon 'enter' of the field.
Got this far:
if (this.rawValue == {default}) {
this.rawValue = "";}
and it aint working. the {default} is the only thing I can find in the scripting reference that comes close. Maybe there's a way with xfa.event.reenter??
thanks.

Paul, maybe I'm misreading the docs on event.reenter, but it looked like it was a flag about whether or not the user had ever entered that field before. Which is exactly what I'm hoping to test.
I have about 100 of these fields, so am hoping to do a simple if test, with 'relative' statements. Testing against the known default value certainly would work, but I have to write the 100 custom tests, rather than copy/paste the same thing into each field...
Do you know a way to access the value stored in the Default field in the properties tab?
thanks,
-jamie

Populating Text Field from Multi Checkboxes

Need help with formula. Not sure whether or not I should be using FormCalc or Javascript as I am not extremely familiar with either. I have a form that has three checkboxes (Box1, Box2, & Box3) that need to auto populate a text field (EmpAck). I have tried three different ways to get this done and none are working for me. What I need to happen is if "Box1" is checked "Text1" is inserted in "EmpAck" field and if "Box2" is checked "Text2" is instered & so on. The texts are never the same and never added together. I have set "EmpAck" to be read only, allowing multiple lines, and have the "Expand to fit box marked as the texts' are different lengths. Any help would be great.
1. // This would go in the Textfield under calulate using FormCalc
if (Box1 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text1"
elseif (Box2 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text2"
elseif (Box3 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text3"
endif
2. //This would go in the checkbox "Box1" changing "Text1" to "Text2" or "Text3" as required under mouseup using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/2489082#2489082)
if (this.rawValue == 1)
{EmpAck.rawValue = "Text1";}
else {EmpAck.raqValue = " ";}
3.//This would go in textfield under calcuate using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/4108395#4108395)
var a =" "
if (this.getField(Box1).value == "Yes")
{a="Text1"}
if (this.getField(Box2).value == "Yes")
{a="Text2"}
if (this.getField(Box3).value == "Yes")
{a="Text3"}
event.value=a

Found my problem. Was using different subforms without including in the formula.

Populating text fields

I have an application that loads variables from a text file.
It loads them into several dynamic text fields by using the
variable property. I tried populating other text fields with these
values but doesnt seam to work.
i tried this.
username.text = username;
I tried this because i need the value of the variable
"username" to appear in the username text field.
Why didnt this work. How can i correct this?
Thanks

it's a component? Why do you need that? Create the username
simply with a dinamic text field and assign the data to it.
I think your missing something. from what i remember and i'm
not so good at this ( i must first see an exemple of something made
by me) you must have a variable which contains the variable in
which the data is loaded.
I have to check out first some work i did to remember. If
problem not solved i will come back in a few hours with the
answer.

Search and Replace values in the text field before values are stored to DB

Hi,
In my application there is a question - text area and answer - text field. Problem is, some answers are stored with the single quotes to the DB and I have a problem while retrieving it from the DB. I need to replace the 1 single quotes with 2 single quotes. The values are stored to the DB when the submit button is clicked.
So I am using the following javascript code:
italics
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
var str="&P2_S1.";
document.write(escape(str));
</script>
italics
I need to call this javascript function, when the submit button is clicked but BEFORE the values are stored to the DB. How can i get this done?
Please let me know.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I planned to drop the Javascript idea.
Now, I am using the PL/SQL code. This is what I am planning to do.
When the user enters any word like this, Test's, this single quote should be replaced by some special character, #@@#, - what is the PL/SQL code for this?
Right now my PL/SQL code is:
begin
update test set S1=:P2_S1 where name=:APP_USER;
end;
so the replacing part should come somewhere before the update statement.... how can I do it?
from the DB when the values are retrieved, I use the following code:
select REPLACE(s1,'''','') from test where NAME=:APP_USER; // this works fine.
Please help me with the replace of the single quote before the update process...

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

How to auto-complete text field in the form?

Hi,
I have a table CustTable that has 2 columns:
1. Column_A
2. Column_B
I have a form that has 2 fields:
1. Field_A - Lookup Field - it takes data from a custom table lookup (Lookup Query: SELECT Column_A from CustTable) - it works fine.
2. Field_B - Text Field - I would like to autocomplete this field (as value from Column_B) based on the value selected in the Field_A (SELECT Column_B from CustTable where Column_A = "value from Field_A") - is it possible to autocomplete a text field ?
I have made it using 2 lookup fields and it works, but then user has to make a select on the lookup twice and I would like to make it only once.
Thanks in advance!

I don't think w/o UI Customization it is possible.
UI customization won't be a small one as it is a common wizard and used at multiple places. So it will be a huge work.

Populating text field with pl/sql expression or function

Hi all,
I have a function which return an object.
create or replace type emp2_oty is object (server_name varchar2(20),
status varchar2(4),
refresh_on date,
dw_refresh date)
create or replace type emp2_nt is table of emp2_oty
create or replace function testserver12 return emp2_nt
is
v_emp2_nt emp2_nt:=emp2_nt();
a number;
b number;
c number;
begin
for r_emp in (select * from testing)
loop
a := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.dw_refresh);
c := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.refresh_on);
b := extract(DAY FROM SYSDATE);
if (a != b) or (c != b) or (r_emp.status != 'on') then
v_emp2_nt.extend; v_emp2_nt(v_emp2_nt.last):=emp2_oty(r_emp.server_name,r_emp.status,r_emp.refresh_on,r_emp.dw_refresh);
end if;
end loop;
return v_emp2_nt;
end testserver12;
The pl/sql code to get the return value displayed. It works very fine in sqlworkshop.
declare
v_temp_nt emp2_nt;
i number := 1;
begin
v_temp_nt:= testserver12();
for i in (v_temp_nt.first)..(v_temp_nt.last) loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_temp_nt(i).server_name||' '||v_temp_nt(i).status||' '||v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' '||v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh);
end loop;
end;
I want it to get display the output into the text field.
Please could any one help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
bye

Pretty easy, add a CHR(10) (ASCII for carriage return) in the string concatenation.
e.g.
   l_result:= l_result || (v_temp_nt(i).server_name || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).status || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh) || CHR(10);Also why over complicate the whole process by using objects and types by simplifying the code and also improving readability and maintenance by replacing the PL/SQL function body with something similar to (the conditions have been negated and may have not been what you meant in the first place)
DECLARE
   v_text_return VARCHAR2(2000);
   l_cur CURSOR IS
      SELECT t.server_name,
             t.status,
             t.refresh_on,
             t.dw_refresh
      FROM   testing t
      WHERE To_Char(t.refresh_on, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    To_Char(t.dw_refresh, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    Upper(t.status) = 'ON');
BEGIN
   FOR r_emp in l_cur
   LOOP
      v_text_return := v_text_return || r_emp.server_name || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.status || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.refresh_on || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.dw_refresh || CHR(10);
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_text_return;
END;Hope this helps

Auto populate text field base on anothe r text field input

ive created a medical form that the end user enters codes for medical reasons and a description for that code. the description are very long and tedious. is there a way to have the user enter the code in one field and have it auto populate another field with the correct description?
I was able to do this with a combo box but not with a standard text box. please note, i have never learned javascript and have been ""duct taping" peices of code to make things work up until now . appreciate the help

The advantage of the combo box is the automatic validation of the input as the selection is made.
You can use control statements like the "if" or "switch" statement or perform an array lookup. This action can be performed in the on blur action of the input filed or in the calculation script for the target field.
