Bar Code Field changes to Text Field

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 Windows 7 Pro
I have a form with a bar code field. Once the file is saved and re-opened the Bar Code field changes to a text field. Any clues why this would happen?

No special font. I dont think its an option for the Bar Code field
Just discovered though that it happens when I use the same field in a page template. As soon as I create a template with the Bar Code filed and save the file, it changes it to a text field.

QM03-Custom tab-Change to text field not reflecting-FG - XQQM-screen-0106

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the text field on a custom tab of QM03 transaction. Quality notification type is Z1 and the tab is "Checklist". Both are custom defined.
The existing text field is of 3 lines. The new text message is of 8 lines. When I did the changes on the custom screen 0106 in the function group XQQM, the changes are not reflected on the QM03 transaction's custom tab. Only first 3 lines were reflecting the change and rest of the 5 lines are not appearing on the screen.
Pointers on this will be definitely helpful.
Regards,
Mallika.

I had a similar problem, but it was with the message line. I found that with Web Forms, I had to issue the Synchronize; a second time, but in Client/Server Forms 6i, the first synchronize worked. Here is the code I used:
<pre><font face = "Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier, Fixed" size = "1" color = "navy"> SYNCHRONIZE;
if Get_Application_Property(User_Interface) = 'WEB' then
synchronize;--first does not work on web
end if;</font></pre>
Let us know if this works.

Mass Change of TEXT field

Hi
I wanted to carry out Mass change of Text field in 2000 Financial documents, Can anyone give the best way to do the same?
Thanks

Hi,
Execute the FBL3N report by selecting the Documents using Dynamic selection mention
a) Document no's
b) Fiscal year
mention company code and execute the report and use mass change option to make changes.
The following accounts may not appear in the listing
a) Recon accounts in case these are not line item managed.
b) If any of the documents have been archived.
If you are on ECC6.0 or higher then you can use the report FAGLL03 report this would list the line items in the documents even if the Recon accounts are not line item managed.
You can also record a SECATT/LSMW to do this for you in case you want different text for each of the line item.

How to make fields in field group as text fields in ABAP query

Hi friends,

Please help me
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
IF you can specify which Field Catalog then it will be useful for us to provide appropriate answer.
1. For Customer Master
IMG> Financial Accounting New> Acs Recev and Acs Payable --> Customer Accounts --> Master Data --> Preperation of creating customer master Data --> Define Account Groups with screen layout (customers)
In that you can create your own account group, and click Details Screen.
There will Field Status header within that are listed three main areas
General data
Company code data
Sales data
When you double click these lines it will take you into "Status Group" Overview. Wherein under "Select Group" are listed fields Address, communiucation.... Double click on one group , you will bet aken into the group field wherein you will find 4 colums with indicators assigned to it. ( Suppress, Req. Entry, Opt Entry, Display) you can choose the required option. "Req. Entry" against the field. Click save after you complete your selections.
2. Similarly you can do for Material Master in
IMG --> Logistics General --> Material Master --> Field Selection --> Maintain Field Selection for Data Screens
But be careful when you do it for material master as it is cuts across all the modules...

Change input text field color until saved.

How to change the background color in a text field when edited? When saving the field returns to default. The idea here, not to forget to save before editing another record or exit.
Example, date and checkbox fields are edible. At the right side, for each row is a link "save".

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.utils.Timer;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.text.*;
    import RectangleButton;
    public class count_timer extends MovieClip
//not sure this is correct

            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);

                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.

How to change the text field typestyle in InDesign 6 forms

I am designing a form in Indesign CS6. I would like to change the typestyle in my text fields. It seems to default to Times Roman. I want to change it to Ariel. Any suggestions on how to do this. I do not want to have to do it in Acrobat.

You can't do that in InDesign, unfortunately, so you'll have to make changes in Acrobat after exporting to PDF. With scripting you have the opportunity to automate this. Post again if you'd like more info.
Also, I would strongly advise against using Arial and use the built-in Helvetica instead. Acrobat/Reader actually use a version of Arial when Helvetica is specified. If you specify Arial, it will embed the entire font, resulting in a sigificant and unnecessary increase in file size.

Withholding tax code in line item text field

Dear All,
Please suggest me on the below matter,
When we will pass a vendor invoice through FB60 we will mention the Withholding tax type
and tax code for withholding tax deduction from vendor . Then withholding tax line item will
generate automatecally, but there will be nothing in the text field.
I want that the withholding tax code will come automatecally in the text field after posting the entry.
Is it possible?
Regards
Amitava

Hi,
You can define Text for line items in OB56. Just define Text ID and enter your text and tick the check box "Control Display". Now you can define Substitution rule and replace the Text "=XY" in text field (If you have defined Text ID XY in OB56).
You can also try to maintain user exit with reference to OB56.

Data from one text field to another text field on the next page

Hi all,
Hi I have a form, which has data coming in from the data binding, the thing is the data is mapped to a certain text field and if that text field is filled up it should be continued on to the other text field which is on the immediate page following it. the reason for using text field instead of Subform and make it expandable is the client does not want to change the position and structure of other fields following that field, they are o.k with the amount overflowed in to the next text field .
is there any script for the same condition in Java script or form calc.
Thanks in advance.
de1209

This is not as simple as it sounds. You will not be able to split the field up during the time of binding. The entire string must go into the field and only after it has completed the biinding can we change it around. A colleage of mine did this for an interactive field and it involved some pretty complicated code. Here is a link to her blog entry that describes what she did:
http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/an_example_of_splitting_text_a.html
But that is only part of the problem.....once you split the information across two fields you will need to recombine it back into a single field so that the data that is submitted can represent it correctly again. So you will have to reverse the process in a presubmission step.
Make sense?

Link a Form Field to new Text Field

PDF - form field
Looking for a code to link a form field(text_1, on page #5) to
another, new form field(text_2, on pages 2-4).
Maybe a "Page Properties" action (i.e., Page Open: field text_2 = field text_1)
~~
Why....
busy but here's why
In the PDF, there are Form fields on page 5 which interface (externalinterface) with an RMA ( a SWF) on page 2.
This all works well.
As the form fields must be carried forward (from page 5 to page 2... to interface the RMA),
the orignal page 5, From fields are copied to pages 2-4 and then "Hidden".
Again, this works just fine.
A reset "action" (button) was added to, well, clear the Form Field for easy reuse.
The reset ''action' does it's job and clears ALL form fields with the same "Name".... on every /all pages.
This causes the dynamic interface, with the RMA, to display blank fields (within the SWF).
This will effect the User's experience.
~~
Work aound.....
Find a way to label the Form Fields (page 5) so that "only they" are reset, and no others.
Create a link of Form Field inputs on page 5 (with names... x,y,z),
to new Form Fields pages 2-4 (with a differnet names... a,b,c).
Thanks in advance for your help....

Hi jm,
This may be what you are after. No text wrap, but notes are there.
Type an account number into the Enquire table to get Client and Contact
Formula in B2 (and Fill Right)
=INDEX(Database::B,MATCH($A2,Database::$A,0))
Large notes display table with Wrap Text
Formula is
=INDEX(Database::D,MATCH(Enquire::$A2,Database::A,0))
All together:
Change it around if you want to look up by Client instead of Account

Using Javascript to create concatenated string from checkbox fields to one text field

Hi. I have a PDF form that I am trying to have output to a spreadsheet that matches my database schema. Here is the dilemna:
* I have a set of checkboxes for available languages (LANGUAGE_ENGLISH, LANGUAGE_SPANISH, etc.) When they export to spreadsheet, the value is TRUE.
* I need to take values from checked boxes and create a single string in a text field called LANGUAGE_DISPLAY (so my UI will not need to do the concatenation). If LANGUAGE_ENGLISH is TRUE (checked), append "English, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". Then, if LANGUAGE_SPANISH is TRUE (checked), append "Spanish, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". And on and on
In the LANGUAGE_DISPLAY text field properties, I am inserting a Custom Calculation script to try to achieve this, but am not getting any results. I tried teh following even trying to pull the checkboxes default values and string them together:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toSrting();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toSrting();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toSrting();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
I also played with this to get the desired strings output...but to no avail:
if ( LANGUAGE_ENGLISH.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "English, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_FARSI.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Farsi, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_HEBREW.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Hebrew, ";
event.value = box1 + box2 + box3;
Then I tried to simplify to see one field output so used this script...still no results:
event.value = "";
var f = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH");
if ( f.isBoxChecked() == true) {
event.value = "English";
Couple questions:
1) Am I on the right track with any of these scripts?
2) Is there something else I need to do to get the script to run before running the Create Spreadsheet with Data Files comman in Acrobat to get my csv file output? Maybe there needs to be some event to get the checkbox values read by that field in order to calculate/create the string.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

LiveCycle Designer has shipped with all Acrobat Professional versions since the "Professional" version was introduced with version 6.
You do not let us know want results you get in the field or the JavaScript console.
Using:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toString();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toString();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toString();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
returns "Off, Off, Off", when no box is checked and returns "Yes" for the appropriate box being checked when the default value is used for the creation of the check box. So if one would make the 'Export Value' of the box from the default value of 'Yes" to the appropriate language, one would get a more desirable result. But for each unchecked box the value would appear as "Off". So one needs to change the 'Off' value to a null string. But one is still left with the separator when there is an unchecked option.
Using the following document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And the following cleaned up custom calculation script:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value;
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value;
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value;
if (box1 == 'Off') box1 = '';
if (box2 == 'Off') box2 = '';
if (box3 == 'Off') box3 = '';
event.value = fillin(box1, box2, box3, ', ');
One will get the list of languages with the optional separator for 2 or more language selections.

Displaying the value of text field A in text field B

I have a PDF form with 2 layers. Layer 1 has information, a textfield, and a button. Layer 2 is a certificate design. The user inputs their name in to a textfield called NameEntry.
When they hit the button, layer 1 disappears -- the instructions and NameEntry box become hidden. Layer 2 is the certificate design and I need a new textfield (which is called NameDisplay) to be populated from inputted information in text field NameEntry.
The simple answer, I know, is to name both text fields the same. This does not work for me as I need the input textfield to be styled differently (background and border) due to decisions out of my control vs the NameDisplay which will have no background and no border.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Use this custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("NameEntry").valueAsString;

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

You need scripts for this. Try this jQuery tutorial

Setting the colour red for an input field or a text-field in a table

Hy,
I am using an input-field or text-field within a table-cell. For some rows in the table the text in the input-field / text-field should be red. How can I do this ?
Florian Hroch

Create a new attribute "TextColor" of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor" (local DDIC types), under the table's data source node.
Bind the "TextView.semanticColor" property of the table cell editor to this attribute.
If you cannot add new attributes under the data source node (this is the case if there is a structure binding), add a value node "TableProperties" (cardinality 1:1, selection 1:1) under the data source node and add the attribute there.
Then you can control the color of the TextView in table row at index i by setting the "TextColor" value for node element at index i.
For an input field, you cannot set the text color, a workaround might be adding an icon in an extra column.
