Autonumber that increases whenever form is opened

I have a very detailed form that I created in Acrobat 9 that has an autonumber field that increases by one everytime that it opens. I need to change some things on the form, so I want to work on it in LC ES. I am unable to find how to make this autonumber script in LC that automatically increases when opening the form. I have found things that you have to save over the original form in order for it to work. Basically it will live on a local machine. The person will open up the original form (which then increases by one from their last number) fill in all of the information, then save as a different name. Can anyone help with this? I used this reference to do the autonumber in Acrobat 9 http://www.planetpdf.com/planetpdf/pdfs/AcumenJournal_Aug2004.pdf
Thanks!

Hi Bruce,
The form won’t have a reset button, and it would be best if they didn’t save over the original form, but did a save as (each time they fill in the form will be for a different client). Would I be able to house a local Excel spreadsheet to act as a “data base” that they can pull numbers from?
Thanks,
Scott

Creating a date field that autogenerates when form is opened but the date is fixed upon signing.

Hi,
I have been creating a series of PDF forms on Adobe XI Pro that are designed to be filled in using Adobe Reader (hence are saved as Adobe Reader Extended). Once the form is complete there are signature fields that the user digitally signs which then deactivates specific form fields from further editing. Alongside the signature field I have got a date field which, at the moment, is using JavaScript to auto-generate the current date upon opening. However, the issue I am having is that I want this date field to be fixed when the form is signed, rather than updating again when the form is next opened. Is this possible?
The document JavaScript that I am currently using to generate the date is as follows:
this.getField("PR_Date1").value = util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy", new Date());
But obviously this is independent of the date field.
I am very new to Adobe in general so I don't have much of an idea about how to go about doing this. Could somebody please help me to do this if it is possible?
Thank you

Hélène-
Thanks for the detail regarding validation script, but I still am having a problem with it.
I have tried what you told me (remove reset the value) the popup no longer appears when the form is opened. But the validation does not seen to be working. It is not working either in the validate or exit event. This is what I have now on that text field.
----- form1.#subform[0].Y::exit - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------------------------------
//Verify year is current or year+1
var today = new Date();
var year = today.getFullYear();
if (this.rawValue == year || this.rawValue == year+1)
app.alert("Year is invalid.\n\nOnly current or next year is valid.");
----- form1.#subform[0].Y::validate - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
//Final verification
ScriptObject.ValidateField(event.target, this);
This final verification script I have taken from the samples on the
LiveCycle Developer Center (Validating field content in a form hosted in Adobe Acrobat).
The alert only displays when 2007 or 2008 is entered. I am really confused now. I thought I had a handle on this with your explanation.
I do not know where to go now. The Object Pallet is setup as:
Field Tab
Allow Plain Text Only and Limit Length are checked with a Max Chars: 4. Edit Pattern: 99999
Value Tab
Type: User Entered - Required
Validation Pattern: 9999
Validation Script Message is checked - in Message box Invalid Year.
Binding Tab
Default Binding: Normal
Data Format: Plain Text
I am hoping that you can explain what I have wrong.
Thanks so much,

How to know form is open or not or not in sap

How to know form is open or not or not in sap

Hi
There is no such functionality where you can check that whether the form is open or not. you can only get the information of active form
if u want to get the information that form is open or not you have to code by yourself like declare a object of each form on the form load event set the value of that object and on form close event set the value of object to nothing. then you can check that if form object has some value then form is open else form is close.
Hope i clear the point.

Increased maximum number of open cursors

I'm using JDBC with oracle. And I need to send many transactions to database.
I use Statement.executeQuery("INSERT INTO ..............") and so on!
But after 300 transaction Oracle send me an error that "increased maximum number of open cursors." How to increase the max number of that cursors or how to close them??
Thanks in advance!

1. Use, PreparedStatement instead of Statement.
2. Use addBatch() and executeBatch() methods.
3. Don't create statement objects in a loop, just create one object outside the while (or for) loop and use the same object again and again. Most probably the problem may be due to creating excessive object in a llop.
Hope this helps.

yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.i can see the pictures in settings>brightness>wallpapers but i couldnt able to see in photos application in ipad4

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

Browser enabled InfoPath form not opening in browser from a link in a Task list

I have a browser enabled InfoPath deployed to SharePoint as a template in a Forms Library. The form opens in the browser when a user navigates to the Form library and clicks New.
There is an Approval workflow associated with this form which kicks in whenever a new Form is submitted. The workflow creates a task in a task list. The task list shows a Link column which provides the link to open the form. Now, when a user clicks on the
link (in the Task list), the form always open in InfoPath instead of opening in a browser.
I see that the URL for the form (http://<Server>/Training/Enrollment%20Forms/<FormName>.xml) is same in both the Forms Library and Task list link.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to make the form open in browser from the Task list link.
Thanks
Rajat

This question is asked constantly - we just discussed this last week, I believe - so you can probably find a lot more discussion to help you out if yous earch within this form or browse through the topics. The reason for your issue is because of
what you just wrote - the URL is directly to the XML file, so it tries to invoke InfoPath. Browser forms are rendered by Forms Services, which has a much different URL. Go click on one of your existing forms, and notice how different the URL is.
To get forms to open in the browser when invoked from a different location, you must use this full Forms Services URL. Built-in workflows only generate a link to the XML file, and since the task in a different list than the form, then it has no idea
how to open the form in the browser. Only users who don't have InfoPath installed will see it in the browser automatically. This is why I generate my own URLs dynamically with custom workflows and don't use OOTB workflows.SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP ||

Hiding subform when form is opened

I have the following javascript associated with a checkbox and a subform:
form1.SHCognitionCheckBox::change - (JavaScript, client)if
(this.rawValue == 1) CognitionBehaviorSubformCheckBoxes.presence
= "visible";
else CognitionBehaviorSubformCheckBoxes.presence= "hidden";
My intention is to make the subform visible only when the checkbox is checked.
If the checkbox is MANUALLY checked or unchecked, the subform becomes visisble or hidden, as expected.
HOWEVER, whenever a previously saved form is initially opened, the subform is ALWAYS VISIBLE, regardless of whether the checkbox is checked or unchecked.
Is there a way to cause the subform to be HIDDEN when the form is opened with the checkbox unchecked?
I have tried different approaches: reversing the logic (checking the checkbox to make it hidden instead of visible), and trying different default values for the checkbox. No matter what I try, the subform is ALWAYS open when the form is opened.
I can close the subform only by MANUALLY either unchecking the checkbox (if it is initially checked) or checking and unchecking the checkbox (if it is initially unchecked).
Thanks.

I am having the same problem. I have subforms that are orginally "hidden", and become "visible" when an item in a drop down menu is selected. When I save the form, and re-open it, the subforms are hidden again.
Did you find a solution?

Show stacked canvas when form is opened

Hi,
I'm working with forms 6i. My form has one multi-record block. Due to the amount of fields that need to be shown we split the block across 2 canvases, the first fields are shown in the primary canvas and next to it is something like an overflow, a stacked scrollable canvas.
The form is opened in query mode. In the beginning we only see the items on the primary canvas. Only after the user has executed his query and navigates (with tab) to the first item on the stacked canvas this one is shown. From that moment on the stacked canvas stays visible.
I want to change this behavior as such that the stacked canvas is visible all the time.
I tried to solve this using show_view in the when-new-form-instance trigger but the result is not what it should be. The view is shown but not in the same way as you would see it when you properly navigate to it. The alignment is totally out of control.
Any ideas, suggestions, are mostly appreciated.
Kris

Steve,
To maybe make things a bit more strange then they're already.
GO_ITEM('DEELNEMERS.DROOMPLOEG'); -- Item in stacked canvas
SYNCHRONIZE;
PAUSE;
GO_ITEM('DEELNEMERS.CODE'); -- First item (on primary canvas)It works with above code but not without the pause.
I'm really confused here :-),

XML Form - Link open in Portal Content Area

I have created an XML form which displays a list of images as links to KM documents (eg a Read More... link).
The problem I have run into is that any link that you click on opens up in a new window.
Is there a setting somewhere that indicates that all links should be opened in the portal content area, rather than in a new window?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Rasim

Rasim,
You can try doing this.
Logon to Portal.
Click Personalize option on the top left corner and choose work protect mode.
Choose "Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)"
Save and Exit.
Logoff and relogin and check.
Hope this helps.

How to make menu/list (form) item open in it's own window instead of blank one?

Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment using Dreamweaver? I am a novice (if that) in coding, so if there is a design view solution that would be absolutely awesome. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
I am also attaching 3 files (the .lbi file, the template and the page both are applied to).
I tried a couple of things already. One was javascript, but I still seemed to have problems, the others were selecting the form and changing the target to self. Another developer said that I would need to apply the target attribute to each link, but I am having trouble doing this.

No. They removed that functionality as an improvement to iTunes in version 11. I saw one person mentioning making a screen grab of the window and displaying it as an image in Preview while looking at the actual iTunes in another window, but it doesn't quite strike me as being the same...

Auto fit-width of form on open

I have created a fillable form that has an orientation of landscape. When we open it in Internet Explorer, it fits the entire form in the browser instead of doing a "fit width". This causes my users to have to fit it to the width in IE manually. Some of my users have a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and some have a screen resolution of 800 x 600. I would like to force a "fit width" when anyone opens the form in IE. How can I force that? If this requires programming code I will need specifics. Thanks!

Hi,
No; I would not recommend inserting script directly into the XML Source tab. You rarely have to go in here.
If you go to the Design view and select on of the objects in your form (TextField, numericField, etc). Then check that your Script Editor is open, it should be visible at the top of the window, just below the menu and toolbars. It may only be one line high, if that is the case then drag the bottom bar to make it bigger.
If you cannot see the Script Editor, then you can open in from the Window menu or select Control+Shift+F5.
When you select an object, you can go to the Script Editor and select from the dropdown which event you want to script for. In this case we are looking for the Initialize event. The script is Javascript so you need to check that in the language dropdown. Also unless you are using a server solution, your scripts will run at Client.
You can put in the script into the Script Editor.
Hope that helps,
Niall
