Automatically fill in an a text field after a selection from dropdown field in a acrobat form.

I have two fields. One dropdown menu field for employee name and one field for occupation (an text field). I would like to let a employee select his name and automatically fill in the text field with his occupation. So for example:
John---> Automatically fill in "Engineer" etc..
Thank you in advance!

Populate field based on selection from another field?

I'm using a Data Connection with a SQL query that returns two fields (StNameFull and ADDRKEY). I have a drop-down list called "Address" with the list items dynamically bound to StNameFull, so the user can select the address.
What I'm trying to do is populate the second field "Key" with the corresponding record, based on the selection made from the drop-down list.
Is it possible to script this so that when the Address is selected the Key will automatically fill in with the key that matches the address selcted?
I currently have "Key" as a text field bound to ADDRKEY, but not sure how to have it check what was selected in "Address"
Thanks so much,
- Kevin

Yes it is possible but you will have to write some script to do it. You wil also have to ge the DataConenction to execute a SQL statement. There is a good blog on this topic at this location:

How Do I: Fill a read-only field based on selections from 2 DDlists?

Follow-up from issue:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2417876#2417876
I have 2 drop-down lists... "Department" and "SubDepartment"
The selection in DDlist "Department" spawns a unique list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
I select the proper items from both DDlists.
When I do this, I want read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" to be populated with a pre-defined entry.
Example:
In "Department" DDlist, select item "Finance & Administration"
In "SubDepartment" DDlist, select item "Food Service" from the list that appears
THEN:
In read-only text field "NameOnIDBadge" the following predefined read-only text appears: "Contract Food Serv."
(Thanks to Paul, I already know how to make the selection in DDlist "Department" affect the selection list in DDlist "SubDepartment"
but I don't know how to make the selection of both DDlists create a new pre-defined entry in a text field.)
I have attached a mockup of the file I am working with...

I tried that but a few things went wrong.
1. After I select "Food Service" in the second "SubDepartment" DDlist, a Javascript error message pops up (see attached), and I have to click it to make it go away. Then the text "Contract Food Serv" appears in the text box.
2. If I select a different value in the Department DDlist, the rawtext still remains in place... it should clear out.
3. The raw text seems to be based on the selection of the SubDepartment DDlist only. However, I need specific raw text to be generated based on the combination of BOTH DDlists.   (It could happen that a totally different Department DDlist could have the same item in its corresponding SubDepartment DDlist. In that case, the rawtext would be completely different.)
Correct example:
Department DDlist = Finance & Administration
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv <-- CORRECT
Incorrect example:
Department DDlist = Clinical Services
SubDepartment DDlist = Food Service
NameOnIDBadge = Contract Food Serv   <-- INCORRECT   (it might be something else)

How do i populate one field based upon a drop down select from another field?

Here is what I am trying to do:
Field 1 is a drop down selection list that requires a user to make a mandatory selection which in this case is a list of apartment complexes. What I am trying to accomplish is once that user makes a selection from the drop down list (Field1) that it will populate Field 2 (standard txt) with the corresponding apartment complexes address.
So I pick Talan Apartments from field 1, it would populate field 2 with Talan Apartments address. I tried messing around with calculation scripts but I'm fighting a loosing battle here. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Here is a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A where the script in the exit event of the dropdown sets the value of the address object.
Good luck,
Niall

Automatically fill input fields based on selection from dynamic drop down

Hi All,
I tried to search before posting, but i cannot find appropriate thread (maybe wrong keyword).
My scenario:
1. In my offline interactive form, I have:
    a. Material Number --> drop down field with "Allow Custom Text Entry" ticked
    b. 1 execution button to call web service
    c. Material Group - Input Field (Read Only)
2. User will enter material number with wild card character (eg: ABC*).
    User will then click the execution button.
    Web Service in result will return all materials that match the entered material number.
    Dynamic binding will do the magic to generate the drop down list.
3. Beside material number, web service will also return material description and material group.
    Below is the illustration:
     Material        Description       Material Group
     ABC              Material ABC           GRP01
     ABCDE        Material ABCDE          GRP02
--- so far so good ---
My requirement:
Every time user select material from the drop down list, i want to auto-populate field "Material Group" (which value is also returned by web service).
I know i need to put the script on event change of the drop down field.
But i don't know how to read internal table returned by web service.
Hope someone can enlighten me.
Thanks in Advance !!!

Typewriter tool - text color after entry fades from color selected?

I have followed all the other directions for preferences, properties and have sucessfully set those however - after entering any text in any color - say red. or black after the enter button is pressed and i've moved anywhere else in the document - the text color is displays and prints in a faded version. How can this be corrected?

I am also having the same issue with Acrobat X Standard. When I use the typewriter tool in any new or existing PDF and add text in any color or font face when I mouse out to any part of the document the added text fades as if the opacity was being lowered so it's much lighter color than it should be.
I am using: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and have local admin rights.
I've checked the Perferences > General section to ensure I am only using certified Adobe Plugins and forced Acrobat to rewrite the folder in " %appdata%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\ " without any resolution. The new 10.0 folder does not contain the Perferences folder inside either.
I went a step further and renamed all the Acrobat folders in my user profile in Local, LocalLow, and Roaming then ran Repair for Acrobat X Standard, rebooted computer, then open Acrobat back up with the same text fading issue when using the typewriter tool.
I created another new user with local admin rights but the typewriter tool does not fade the text there at all when loses focus. Short of transfering to that new profile anyone have any other ideas to resolve this issue?

Ticket Selection From Inventory Field Values?

Is there anyway to insert a selection field into a custom ticket form with the value options being all the different software names that have been inventoried?
Essentially, if a user is having an issue with a particular software application, we'd like to automatically route that to the designated expert. Only way I can do that is a custom field with static values. Sort of defeats the purpose of maximizing the benefit of obtaining an automated software inventory list.

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);

Select from one field

I have the following values in a field named (sn_font). (MS
SQL 2000)
Opaque=1;Font=Times New
Roman;FontSize=10;FontBold=0;FontItalic=0;FontUnderline=0;TextColor=0,0,0;BackColor=255,2 55,204;Printable=1
I need to make a select statement that will give a result
such as "0".
If I need to select only the value for "FontItalic".
How can I do this ? How can I only select the value after the
sign '=' for
one of the items above if it is all stored in one line in the
same field ?

Hi,
Here is a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A where the script in the exit event of the dropdown sets the value of the address object.

Problem with selecting from timestamp field for a particular date

We're running 10g and we have a timestamp field whose values look like this:
SQL> select timeinserted from files where rownum < 3;
TIMEINSERTED
16-APR-05 01.08.35.97634 PM
16-APR-05 01.16.10.00419 PM
SQL>
I'm trying to run this query, but it returns no rows even though I know there should be some:
select timeinserted from files where timeinserted = '27-MAY-05';
I know I just need to somehow tell it to convert the timestamp to date or something like that. How should I rewrite this query? Thanks...

select timeinserted from files where timeinserted = '27-MAY-05';
this is poor coding, you compare a date with a varchar2. Not to mention using 2 digits years...
try something like
select timeinserted from files where timeinserted >= to_timestamp('27-MAY-2005', 'DD-MON-YYYY') and timeinserted<to_timestamp('28-MAY-2005', 'DD-MON-YYYY');
