Autopopulate a text field in a table from table
I am not sure if it is possible but I will explain what I would like to do:-
I have a table which allows the user to add a name, they also have the ability to add additional names to the table. What I would then like to do is auto populate another table with those details.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Hi,
If you had textfield objects that were outside of a table, then you would have the same name for both objects and use the global binding (see the Object > Binding palette).
This effectively gives you two-way binding. Whatever a user types into one field, will automatically appear in the other.
However this may not work with textfields in tables, or certainly not in dynamic tables where the user can add rows. This is because the value in an object in one row will be repeated in ALL rows.
So if you have a static table where the user cannot add rows, then you could set up the rows and objects with different names. The associated static table would have the same naming structure. Then global binding would work.
If the table is dynamic, then I have a scripted example here, where there is a loop on the exist event that runs through the table and replicates the data in the associated table. See here: http://assure.ly/eTOXaH.
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to autopopulate a text field with unique data from multiple data sets
Hi,
I'm a laboratory manager in charge of a hospital project which will be using pdf forms to send and receive data from our end users across the city. I need help with the last part of our pdf form, specifically with a js that will do a bit of text-field autopopulation magic. This, unfortunately, is a beyond what I have taught myself about pdf js functionality.a
The problem:
I need to provide my end users with a text field containing a set of data [A, B, C, D, E, F ...] and the total items in this set [tot#]. The end user needs this information as part of the implementation of this particular laboratory machine.
The particulars
When the end user asks for an experiment to be run, we must specify some pieces of data to help them interpret the results. These are constructed as panels which contain discrete data elements.
For example - One experiment may use two panels, Panel#1 and Panel #2. Panel #1 includes the items A, B, D, E, Panel #2 includes the items A, B, C, F, G.
Thus, the panels may share some of the same items, but, I only want the unique members to be displayed in the text field. If I make a drop down box or checkboxes with the panels, I want to be able to select the panels that we ran and (in this example) have the text field display only the unique items among all the panels that were used:
textfield outpute = A, B, C, D, E, F, G - 7 total.
Any assistance from the pdf community would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!Thanks for that help.
I should have made it more apparent that I'm very new to scripting and I'm
not a programmer by trade. I have a few questions before modifying the code
you kindly provided.
1) Where should I embed this script? Within the 'selection change' area of
my listbox?
2) Can I replace the term 'arr' with the names of the various items in my
listbox or should I put 'arr#' as the output value for each term?
3) Will this script find and display the unique values when a user selects
multiple items in my listbox?
4) How does the script know where to output the unique members of the
combined set?
I appreciate your patience with me.

How to populate a text field by some value from table in Oracle seeded page through Personalization?
I have to populate Description field by default in AGIS page (Advanced Global Intercompany System).
Field Description:
messageTextInput: Description
VO: FunTrxHeaderVO
VO Attribute: Description
VO is entity based.
Now if the field is null then I have to populate this value by some value from table for selected batch_id.
Example:
(SELECT DESCRIPTION FROM fun_trx_batches WHERE batch_id =
211061)
Also, this value is being populated in the Batch Information region in the same page. So the problem is also be treated as to copy a value from one messageStyledText to messageTextInput in a same page.
Can this be done through personalization, w/o coding?
Please suggest if you any idea how to resolve..

SAP Query - Additional field that collects information from table RESB
Hello gurus. I have a question.
I want to create a SAP Query that shows me the stock level of a list of materials, and also show me the total quantity of order reservations in an additional field.
I created an InfoSet with table MARD, which is the one that holds the Stock information in a plant. Then I created an additional field which would read information from table RESB, the table that holds order reservations per material.
So I wrote this piece of code:
SELECT * FROM RESB
WHERE MATNR EQ MARD-MATNR and
WERKS EQ MARD-WERKS.
ENDSELECT.
if ( sy-dbcnt NE '0').
MOVE RESB-BDMNG to ZQTY.
ELSE.
MOVE '' to ZQTY.
ENDIF.
This works fine. However, this is currently just catching the first record in table RESB that matches my condition.
What I would like is to collect every instance of RESB-BDMNG and add them to field "ZQTY", have it loop in RESB until it finishes finding every record that match the MATNR and WERKS. With this I could get the total number of order reservations that this material has in that table.
Could someone share some coding that would help me achieve this?Yes! That did it. That's what I needed to do. Thank you so much.
While I'm at it, let me ask you a related question.
When I execute the query, in the first records of the query where there's no value from RESB to transfer, the value of field ZQTY appears empty. Once it finds the first record in RESB and it populates ZQTY with a value, then the rest of the records with no hit get the proper value of 0.
Do you know why the first records in the query appear empty and not with a 0? Is there anything I should add to the coding to fix this? -
Text field spry validation over 2 table cells?
Hello,
This might be a real simple thing, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone please help?
I'm using DW CS3 and I'm building a contact form. I'm using DW's Spry validation for my text field. It's an email field. I'd like to put the label in one table cell and the input box in the adjacent cell. But I can't figure out how. I'm using the attach label using 'for' attribute.
Here is how DW writes the code:
<tr>
<td>
<span id="sprytextfield5">
<label for="email">Email</label>
<input type="text" name="emaill" id="emaill" />
<span class="textfieldInvalidFormatMsg">Invalid format.</span></span>
</td>
</tr>
As you can see, it's all in one cell.
I've tried massaging the code every which way but then the widget doesn't work.
Please help!
Thank you in advance!

Change a text field on the timeline from a class
Hi,
I need some help in changing the content of text fields that are on the stage of the main timeline from within an external class. I have created a countdown timer which is called from the Document Class. I think it is a problem with the scope of the variable but I can't work it out.
Main Document Class:
package
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import count_timer;
import RectangleButton;
public class main extends MovieClip
public function main()
[create a Start Btn]
var startBtn_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip ;
addChild(startBtn_mc);
var startBtn:RectangleButton = new RectangleButton("Start",90,25,18,0xCC0000,0x000000);
startBtn_mc.x = 105;
startBtn_mc.y = 200;
startBtn_mc.addChild(startBtn);
startBtn_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClickStartBtn);
function onClickStartBtn(event:MouseEvent):void
var inputDay1:String = dayInputtxt.text;[these are input fields on the stage]
var inputHr1:String = hrInputtxt.text;
var inputMin1:String = minInputtxt.text;
var inputSec1:String = secInputtxt.text;
var counter:count_timer = new count_timer(inputDay1,inputHr1,inputMin1,inputSec1);
Countdown Timer:
package
import flash.display.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import RectangleButton;
public class count_timer extends MovieClip
//not sure this is correct
public var daytxt:TextField;
public var hrtxt:TextField;
public var mintxt:TextField;
public var sectxt:TextField;
public function count_timer(inputDay1,inputHr1,inputMin1,inputSec1)
var inputDay = inputDay1;
var inputHr = inputHr1;
var inputMin = inputMin1;
var inputSec = inputSec1;
var msinputDay:Number = Number(inputDay);
var msinputHr:Number = Number(inputHr);
var msinputMin:Number = Number(inputMin);
var msinputSec:Number = Number(inputSec);
var ms:Number = Number(msinputDay);
//convert input to milliseconds
ms = ms + msinputDay * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
ms = ms + msinputHr * 60 * 60 * 1000;
ms = ms + msinputMin * 60 * 1000;
ms = ms + msinputSec * 1000;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
function loop(e:Event):void
ms = ms - 1000;
var sec:Number = Math.floor(ms / 1000);
var min:Number = Math.floor(sec / 60);
var hr:Number = Math.floor(min / 60);
var day:Number = Math.floor(hr / 24);
sec = sec % 60;
min = min % 60;
hr = hr % 24;
daytxt.text = day.toString();[everything appears to work to these variables. I think it should be root.]
hrtxt.text=(hr<10)?"0"+hr.toString():hr.toString();
mintxt.text=(min<10)?"0"+min.toString():min.toString();
sectxt.text=(sec<10)?"0"+sec.toString():sec.toString();
if (ms <= 0)
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
gotoAndPlay("TimesUp");
Many thanks in advance.Your code is not going to work as you show it. First, you should not be putting your class methods inside the constructors... And yes - scope. You make your new count_timer as a local variable inside a function that is called on click. Essentially, the timer is gone just as fast as it's created. If you want the timer available to the other methods in the class it should be declared as a private var in the class definition.
And I agree with kokorito - have your timer extend EventDispatcher and then it can do like: dispatchEvent(new Event("myTimerEvent")); and you can then add an eventListener to it when you create it in your main class. You just listen for "myTimerEvent" or whatever string you use, and call whatever function you want - just like using any other listener. -
Livecycle populate text field with multiple records from list box
Can someone tell me how can I populate a text field from list box when I have multiple select.
Here is example:
List box consist: Hello
World.
I want to see this in text field: Hello,World.
Thanks!Hi Legro
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you can do something like this:
----------------- java script begin ---------------------------------
//Reset text field
TextField.rawValue = "";
//loop through items in listbox
for(i = 0; i < ListBox.length; i++)
//if item selected
if(ListBox.getItemState(i))
//check if Text field value if null
if (TextField.isNull)
TextField.rawValue = ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
else
TextField.rawValue = TextField.rawValue + " " + ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
----------------- java script end ---------------------------------
I have attached an sample PDF so that you can see how it works!!
Kind Regards

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.
This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
ThanksThe question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;

String containing apostrophe sign passed to text field via binded parameter from XDP displayed wrong
Hello,
I have a text field that is bound to a String field in XDP, sometimes when the field contains apostrophe sign (') generated PDF displays ' instead, for example if the value is he's it shows he's
The field format is plain text only.
The problem only appears occasionaly and rarealy and I can't find the reason and can't even reproduce it anymore.
Maby someone has encountered such problem and know the reason why it happens or conditions for it to happen and the means to fix it?I don't want to be one of those that gives meaningless advise but I'm keen to 'give back' to this forum so here goes ... maybe completely up the wrong tree ...
I'll assume you're generating the XDP on a server and then passing that to the browser as a content type "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
Have you also tried setting the character set to UTF-8 ? I use ASP and have "response.CharSet = "utf-8" " in my header. -

Automatically fill in field based on data from table rows
hello,
Users in our organization currently have to complete a number of different forms when an accident occurs. I am creating a .pdf that combines these fomrs into one, with the first portion being a data input section where the user inputs the data and then this populates other sections (pages of the form) that can later be saved and printed.
The data input section contains subforms with tables. The tables have a row that has "add new item" and "delete this item" buttons. The rows have dropdown list fields.
I would like to create a field that will be automatically filled in with the values from the dropdown lists, including the values from the new rows that are added using the 'add new item' button.
Any assistance in this regard would be most appreciated. This is my first time on a forum, so I apologize if I have not been clear.
Thank you.This is pretty complicated. You'll have to use scripting for this and I'll tell you how I'd approach this with JavaScript.
First of all you need to decide at what point you want to populate this field with the drop down selections. I think you have two options.
Option 1 - Automatically calculate this field each time a user makes a drop-down selection. It's possible that a user will enter data and then change a drop down value so you'll have to account for this.
Option 2 - Create an update button that users click to calculate this field. There is still a risk that users will change the value in the drop down after clicking update, so you would want to use scripting to lock those fields (e.g. make them protected) when the update button is clicked. You could then change the caption of this same button or have a second button that when clicked would unlock those drop down fields.
The other thing you need to do is figure out how to calculate this field. It seems to me you would probably build a string together that mixes text with the drop-down values. So your JavaScript would look something like this:
calculatedField.rawValue = "The accident occurred on " + table.row1.date.rawValue + ". It was witnessed by " + table.row1.witness1.rawValue +
" and " + table.row1.witness2.rawValue + ".";
When you're in the LC Designer JavaScript editor, hold control for the relative path to those fields and control + shift for the absolute path and then click on the fields whose values you want to access.
I hope this points you in the right direction! -
How to Edit Key Fields or Delete Lines from Table Entries
Hi Experts
While releasing Transport Request Number we are getting an error during release. This seems to be as a result of improper data feed while running of eCATT's . The dates in the all these fields have been entered as " . .0101" which is in the wrong format ( eg. Table T811F u2013u201CSDATEu201D field). "SDATE" seems to the key field of the table . Can you please guide on how we may delete these lines or edit the field in the table.
Regards
AnandaHello,
I dont think its a good idea to delete the records from those standard tables. You rather re-run your ecatt and edit/update the existing records and try.
