BC Web Form check boxes running into text

How to fix alignment of BC web form.
check boxes running into text.
see screen shot

Anything that looks bad on a website can be fixed by CSS? The best bet for you is to edit the markup of that form with the checkboxes and add a class to those checkbox input elements... for instance a class of "form-checkbox" and then in your CSS file, include this CSS code:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 5px; }
or even:
.form-checkbox { margin-right: 1em; }
That will put a margin to the right of your checkbox input elements either 5px wide or 1em wide (which is essentially one length of your font size).
If you don't know how to add/edit html markup to your form then you could try adding this CSS to your CSS file:
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 5px; }
or
form input[type='checkbox'] { margin-right: 1em; }
if you want to use EMs instead of pixels. I would highly recommend learning a bit more about CSS and HTML because it would save you time posting to these forums for these simple fixes. CSS styles your webpage's content and every web designer should know CSS and fix this issue pretty quickly. Muse is a good tool but unfortunately it doesn't teach you the underpinnings of the web which you'll need if you want to do any sort of customization outside of what Muse or other WYSIWYG tools.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Popup screen with two check box and a text area for the user to enter value

hi,
i have a requirement when a button is clicked a popup screen should appear with two check box and a text box where the user can enter a value.
is there any function module which has that functionality

Hello,
You can create a new screen and select the screen type as model dialog box.This will give you a pop-up screen and you can call this model dialog box screen in the PAI of the screen where the button is present.(At user-command).
case ok_code.
when 'BUTTON'.
call screen 200 starting at 10 10.
You can design the PBO of this pop-up screen as per your needs.

Since the checkboxes all have the same name, the values are over-writing each other when being passed to the PHP script. The best way to fix that is to add a pair of empty square [] brackets after the checkbox names, so make the names "graphics[]" instead of "graphics". That tells PHP that the values are being passed as a list (an array) instead of a single value. As long as your processing script knows what to do from there (and it does), should solve the problem.
By the way, I noticed that two of the checkboxes were named "graphics" and the other was "graphic" (singular). You'll want to fix that too so they're all the same.

Import Word 2007 Form check boxes undefined

Any one have any idea on how to get the forms wizard to import the field property names for check boxes in an Adobe form?
I have a Word 2007 form which I have tried saving as a .doc, .dot, dotm, .docx and no matter what format I choose, I cannot get the check box fields to import. I used the legacy checkbox field under the developer ribbon in Word 2007 to create the check boxes. I have tried to import with protection on the word form enabled and stopped but it doesn't make a difference. The check box fields come across fine but the name and the text fields both say undefined rather then display the field name given in Word. I am using Adobe 9 pro. I have checked my Adobe preferences in Word and made sure all the boxes were checked for converting bookmarks but it still did not make a difference. The text fields are importing fine with the property field names.
Here is an example:
I have a yes check box that is labeled StorageY and a no checkbox labeled StorageN for the properties in Word. I then went to the form wizard in Adobe 9 and selected start with existing form and selected the fillable word form I created with the check boxes. I imported it and the check box properties say Undefined for both storageY and storageN. There are about 60 check boxes in the document and I don't want to retype them every time in Adobe when the word form is updated and has to be conveted again.
I sure hope there is a solution.
Thanks.

Thanks for the information but I respectfully disagree with "there is no import". If you open Adobe Acrobat
9 pro and go to Forms, Start Forms Wizard, select An Existing electronic document and click on Next. Select "import" a file from file system and browse for the word document and click on Next.
Using this method not only runs the automatic field recognition you were referring to, it also brings in all the word form field text and formats with the exception of the check boxes. My only guess is the problem has something to do specifically with the check box fields as it does bring over the radio button text. A lot less work to keep the form updated. It rocks. You should try it some time.
Word 2007 pdf writer does the same thing as the openoffice.org but neither bring across the form field info. They just create a starting point and you would have to use the method you described above to create the fillable form.

Creating a fillable PDF form, check box entries do not print

Hello.
I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro for Adobe Reader users to enter information, with an option to print after the form is completed. I've added check box fields for users to indicate various options. However, when checked, these fields do not print.
In the properties dialog, the field is visible - so theoretically it should print. All other form fields added to the document print, except for check boxes.
Could this be a font issue? I notice that Adobe Pi font is used for check boxes, however, Zapf Dingbats is being substituted (I can see this in the Document Properties/Fonts dialog).
Thanks for your help.
Shannan

Thank you so much for the quick response. This will be a huge help! I hate to be a bother, but can you tell me the steps to create the script or give me a reference/resouce to use? I have used adobe products quite a bit, but this is my first time creating a PDF Fillable Form that will be distributed for use by several people so I am a little lost.
Also, I seem to be running into one more problem that I am hoping you can help me figure out. On the form there is a question for the recipient to answer by checking one of two boxes, yes or no. Depending on the answer an action is initiated. This feature works perfectly, however the issue is that when the recipient choses "yes" he/she is directed to fill out four additional fields that I currently have set as "required", but when the recipient choses "No" the four additional fields are hidden yet still required. This becomes an issue when the recipient has completed the form and tries to submit the form. An error message pops up notifying the user there are required fields that are empty and must be completed before submission.
My thought is (in a perfect world) one of these two options would be ideal:
1. When the "No" option is chosen the four additional fields are changed from required to not required, or
2. When the "No" option is chose the four additional required fields are autopopulated with NA.
Either remedy would work just fine, however I am open to suggestions... Again thank you so much for your help with my previous question and thank you in advance for any information/help/advice you can provide in regards to my second question.

Outputting check box input to text box

I have another javascript question regarding Acrobat.
I have an order form with 3 categories of check box sets.
Set 1
a
b
c
d
Set 2
e
f
g
h
Set 3
i
j
Each checkbox outputs the SKU of an item which in this case is insignificant.
Here are the scenarios available to the user.
Option 1 - One option from Set 1 AND one option from Set 2 must be selected. (Which i have working just fine)
OR
Option 2 - One option from Set 3 must be selected.
These are the only possible options.
I have a text box set to read only as the total box. It totals up the cost based on the options they select.
If they select option 1 it needs to output $285 to the total box
If they select option 2 it needs to output $475 to the total box.
My theory is that I need to make an if then statement but I don't understand how to write the code for this to work.
Any one's expertise would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Are these fields independent from one another, or is each set a group of fields with the same name but different export values?

Capturing check box value into internal table

Hi all,
I am displaying the output including check box through following internal table.
The checkbox is displayed before every record.
LOOP AT it_qals.
 WRITE:/ it_qals-t_val AS CHECKBOX,
 5 it_qals-werk,
 12 it_qals-prueflos,
 30 it_qals-matnr,
 50 it_qals-charg,
 62 it_qals-lagortchrg.
 hide: it_qals .
ENDLOOP.
I selected some of the records through check the checkboxes. when i click the PUSHBUTTON TRANSFER, those selected records only should transfer. i don't know how to modify the internal table with latest checkbox values. Initially checkbox values are blank.
Is there any solution except Function Module.
i would appreciate an earlier reply.

Check box to copy text from 1 field to another

I am trying to use a check box to copy the tech from a billing address text box to a shipping address text box only if the check box is checked.
I am new to using java and building forms in acrobat so please understand.
I have googled and tried to implement the following script in the shipping address Text field properties under format. but it doesn't work
if (this.getfield('checkbox').value =='Yes'){SHIP_TO.value = Bill_To.value} else {Ship_To.value =""}
thank you for any assistance

Well you cannot use Java within a PDF form. PDF forms use JavaScript which is very different form Java.
Have you opened the JavaScript console for the form and looked to see if there are any errors?
You syntax for the "if' statement is wrong.
The method for obtaining a field object is 'getField" not "getfield".
Field names should be within quotations marks to indicate the item is a text string and not a variable name.
Any time one needs to access a property of a field, like "value", one needs to use the field object for the named field and not the name of the field.
this.getField("Ship_To").value = ""
if (this.getField('checkbox').value == 'Yes') {
this.getField("SHIP_TO").value = this.getField("Bill_To").value

Smart Forms - Check box

hi all,
In smartforms we display the check box by using sap symbols. I dont know how to activate the checkbox through smart form itself or se 38 prgm itself. Pl guide me.
Regards:
Manoj

Hello Manoj,
This is what happens if you do not give the complete scenario.
If you are using a SF. Create an alternative node:
1. If true, call the text having symbol <697>
2. If false, call the text with symbol <727>.
I hope you know the condition based on which the checkbox has to be displayed.
BR,
Suhas

PDF'd Fillable Form / Checked Boxes do not Appear in E-Mail

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows XP, Word 2003
I made a doc in Word, created a form, added check boxes, all good. I fill out the form as needed, check specific boxes as needed, and submit via email to vendors to place orders.
Everyone gets the check boxes themselves, but several have said that none of the boxes are physically checked (X). All other entered info is present.
Thanks for any help.
KE

I'm sorry. I made the Word doc, then used Adobe Pro to convert the Word doc into a fillable form. Using Designer I added the check boxes. Saved and closed.
I open the form, fill it out, select certain check boxes, and email. The selected check boxes do not appear on some computers.

Infopath 2010 Web Form will not run code behind or load External Lists after FormEvents_Loading added

Building a form to edit and create data in external list. The business rules do not allow for creation in an external list bound InfoPath form. (We are cascade filtering multiple drop down lists from external content type).
All works to write code behind to push new record or update record in external list. The big issue came when trying to add FormEvents_loading event to the code to capture URL parameter. I want to be able to pass the Primary Key of the record to
edit, load the data into the form and allow editing and submit. I have tested by manually entering the data and the form works. The form will no longer load data from external lists for the drop downs and shows an error stating "The custom code
in the form cannot be run. This functionality may be deactivated
on the server. For more information, contact the server farm administrator."
I think this is related to moving from the normal forms services into sandboxed code service. Is there a way to access external content types and still have form loading event capture URL parameters?
The code to capture the URL is listed below:
XPathNavigator myNav1 = this.MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
string InputF1 = string.Empty;
if (e.InputParameters.ContainsKey("AuthPK"))
InputF1 = e.InputParameters["AuthPK"];
myNav1.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:CodeData/my:DatabaseUpdateStatus", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(InputF1);
myNav1.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:CodeData/my:pk_tblOFCAuthorizations", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(InputF1);
else
myNav1.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:CodeData/my:pk_tblOFCAuthorizations", this.NamespaceManager).SetValue("0");
Is there another way to pass parameters to the form? I tried using web part connection, but that does not work with code behind form at all, which would stop me from updating external list.

Hi,
As this question is more related to InfoPath development, I suggest you post it to Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) Forum, more experts will assist you with this issue.

Speed up process to create web forms that put info into database

Hi All
Basically what Im trying to ask is that I have been developing jsp pages with some javabeans to insert information into databases and then to insert/retreive this information. I have been doing this by hand and it takes time even though I have a library of beans that I have built overtime. My management wants me to deploy new forms within 30 minutes.
Current method of creating forms
==========================
1 - I make the form in dreamweaver
2- Copy and paste the code into my IDE jpadpro
3- Put in the bean connection in the jsp page and create new insert statement
4 - Create the result page
5- Ftp pages to server
I am looking to speed the process of creating new forms which connect to ms sql server (insert) information. I have already invested in crystal reports to make reports which i think has cut my development time by 10 foldes. I am looking for something similar to insert information into the databases.
If there is no such software then is there a java IDE where I can design web page forms visually (like dreamweaver/ microsoft infopath) and create the jdbc connections through wizards. I think microsofts visual studio does this, but i cant use this as i am working with j2ee with ms sql server database.
I am currently looking into eclipse with the myeclipse plugin to see if it will speed things up. Any suggestions from anyone most welcomed.
Also will JSF be better to use?
Regards
Antek

Cutting down development times of forms applications is probably why they created Formular (http://formular.redeye.no/ ).
In my company, we use Formular to define the data we wish to collect. We do this in XML. The XML is pretty straight forward to grasp. Formular uses this XML to generate the actual HTML form so you do not need to build several JSPs for each form you display. Formular handles multiple pages gracefully.
After building a few forms this way, you quickly learn ways to save time by establishing a library of commonly used components such as data field validators.
These are components you always end up using in many forms (such as data formating, value range checks, required checks, etc.).
The Formular package allows you to reuse those.
The other fine feature is the availability of data sources. These are classes that Formular uses to populate your forms (or example generate select lists, or radio buttons from data you have in a database or even a file).
Finally, you might be lucky to be in a position to create a single form processing model for your applications. What we have is a generic form processing class that receives data collected by Formular, and use the configuration data from the XML to determine how that data will be handled. You could for instance have a class that you call/invoke dynamically depending on how the form is configured.
I use the XML file custom parameters for this (these params and their values are invisible to the user but accessible by the generic form handler that comes with the package).
You might use these to specify the table you want that form to be posted into, and also maybe even specify exactly which fields.
For our usage, this package is of great value, and we found the licensing costs very attractive. A license is around 43 dollars per site if I remember well.
For the amount of work you put in, I'd recommend this software for you to evaluate.

Fillable form check boxes won't check

Hi there,
I've just created a fillable form with check boxes. They worked fine to start with but when you close the document and reopen it, you can click the boxes but they just flash and don't fill in. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?
Many thanks

Brio,
Are you using Adobe Acrobat to add form fields to a PDF? Or are you using some other tool to create the fillable form?
