Blank Date on SDK created form

I have a text box on my form which is bound to a userdatasource of type "Date." I want the default to be displayed blank, as dates are in SAPB1 forms. However, the date displays as "12/30/99" when the underlying datasource is left unassigned or is set to "". What do I need to do to get the text box to be blank instead of "12/30/99" ?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Dodd,
I think you must unbind first the textbox from the datasource when the textbox is empty. Use the itemevent for checking the textbox. If the itemevent have captured that the textbox is not empty, bind again in the datasource to avoid invalid date inputs. Hope this helps.

Create printouts from data submitted in a form.

Long story short:
I'm looking to set up a system that automatically creates a document from data submitted in a form. So imagine I type "Jason" in the name field, "Orangutans" in the favorite animal field, and when I click print I'm presented with an A4/Letter document that says "my name is Jason and I love Orangutans" and the background is covered in cute orange apes. Where do I start?
Long story long:
I work at a computer store and due to my experience with Adobe products* I've been tasked with creating all the signage in the store. I've been doing all the signs for a year now and now we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day. The most in-depth and time-consuming ones for me are signs for Trade-In computers. Unlike new computers, the specs are always different based on the particular model we buyback from the client. There are all kinds of fields that are different in each case.
As it stands, I have an illustrator file with all the information in the right place, and when a computer comes in I take all the specs, fill in the right boxes and unhide the image layer so I get an image of the corresponding model on my document. This takes considerable time, and means the process is specific to me, i.e if I'm not in the store, the computers don't get put up for sale beacuse we can't add a spec/price sheet.
What I want to do is automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs. All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally) that asks for model, year, RAM, HDD, etc**. Then when they click submit it returns a completed sign that they can print and put up next to the computer.
I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this. I've looked at Adobe's free online FormCreater***, and I like the simple data output that it creates. However, I'm uncertain as to my next steps. I imagine I'll need it to send the results to a computer with blank templates for the Trade-In computers. It would then need to populate the applicable fields and automate all the work I usually do.
Where should I start? I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Thanks,
Jason
*Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, inDesign
**Total of ~18 text and 4 image fields need to be changed per sign.
***http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/acrobat/form-creator.html

I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Excellent! Right attitude.
Where should I start?
With my favorite "graphics program": FileMaker Pro. (Yep. My favorite graphics-project tool is a relational database program.)
You see, you've discovered something that graphics people are discovering with increasing frequency all the time: Your project is not a graphics problem. It's a data problem.
Note how little of your problem has to do with graphics. Emphasis mine:
...we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day.
the specs are always different based on the particular model
automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs
All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally)
an image of the corresponding model
See if this scenario sounds appealing:
You have on your computer a single file, named TradeIns. You or one of your authorized users doubleClick it. It opens to a nicely organized form that is completely self-explanatory; requires absolutely no training to use.
It's completely idiot proof. The user doesn't have to know anything about any graphics program. He can't break anything.
Consistency is maintained because everything that can be automated is. Dependency intelligence is built in. Popup menus limit data entries to legitimate choices (ex: Models). Subsequent data entry choices are automatically filtered based on data already entered (ex: RAM configurations limited to those possible for Model). User prompts and hints (highlighting, event-driven messages, tooltips, data validation, etc.) make sure that all required information is entered.
When the data entry is done, the user clicks a button labeled Print Preview: A3 Poster. The display automatically changes to a pre-defined A3 formatted layout with all the data graphically styled (Headline, descriptive blurb, bullet list of features, price, etc., etc.), the company logo and contact info in place, and a graphic of the appropriate model appears in the background. The user clicks a button labeled Print Poster. Next to it, by the way, is a button labeled Email Poster To...
If you want, you can enable up to five people concurrently to access and interact with the solution in their web browsers from anywhere. So the data entry can be performed by staff members who logon (according to access priviledges you define and control down to the individual field level if need be) in the office, from home, or even on their iPhone. Multiple users can enter/edit data at the same time.
It's 2:00 Tuesday when Customer leaves with his new machine. You clean up his trade-in a little; put it on the display shelf. Pull out your iPhone and take a photo of it. Tap the specs in. The data, including the photo, are simultaneously entered into the database. You lock the door and go home at 5:00, confident that a formatted sales flier of "Just Arrived" trade-ins will be automatically emailed to your mail list before you get home.
You, having admin priviledges, can add to, alter, elaborate upon the functionality (ex; add an automatic price calculator) anytime you need, with no downtime on the system.
How difficult, time-consuming is this?
Once the requirement details are nailed down, and the raw beginning data for populating values lists is provided, an intermediate level FileMaker developer could build the above-described solution and have it up and running, ready for data entry, in less than a day, easy.
Cost? $500 for one copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced. That's it. (And...*achem*...it's not rented; it's a normal perpetual license.) And with it you can build an unlimited number of other data-driven solutions for your business. You can even bind them as fully-functional standalone applications which you can distribute without royalties.
Based on what you've described so far, the solution's starting data schema would be very simple:
Create a new database with three related tables:
Models
Trade Ins
Specs
The fields for each table would be something like this:
Models
Model ID (primary key; text; unique)
Model Name (text)
Brand (text)
Image (container)
Trade Ins
Trade In ID (primary key; text; computer's serial number)
Model ID (foreign key; text; value list)
Specs
Spec ID (auto-enter serial number)
Model ID (foreign key)
Trade In ID (foreign key)
Spec Name (value list)
Description (text)
You'd have two Layouts (screens): Data Entry and A3 Poster. You could build as many additional Layouts to display whatever combinations of the data you want for as many purposes as you may encounter. Export to PDFs or Excel spreadsheets any time. Build automated reports with live graphs, use conditional formatting, automate with scripts, etc., etc.
Marvelous program. Every business should have it.

How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

I hope someone can please help me. I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms?
I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive.
I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields. How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers. I hope this time someone can please help.
Many thanks in advance.

Thank you! I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files. I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files. To you mean with java script?
I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need. I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
Thank you again.

How do I set blank data to date field in pdf form ?

Dear Sir,
I made PDF form by Acrobat X on Windows PC and then,
read the pdf form by acrobat reader on iPad.
Date field is included in the form.
The Acrobat version is 10.1.6 .
The acrobat reader version is 10.5.0 .
First, I put the wrong date data to the date field.
So, I tried to clear the date field.
I want to put the blank data to the date, but I think
there are no way to put the blank data on iPad
I would like to know how to reset the date data.
If that helps, I tried to the same thing on Android.
I could put blank data to the date field by BS key.
Sincerely,

Here is how to clear the Date field on the Ipad.
NOTE: In order for this to work that has to be another TEXT field in the PDF to get the keyboard to pop-up.
Click on Text field (this is to get the regular keyboard on screen)
Click on Date field (date spinner control will show up)
Click on SAME DATE field (spinner control will disapper)
Click on "Reset Field" on top of keyboard (date field will now be empty)
Click any where on PDF that is not another Date field (keyboard will disappear and date field will be empty)
Bingo! your free and clear.

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data,
thanh xả tràn
I have a PDF form which gets submitted to the server using a submit (server-side) button. The data is then received in XML format by a ColdFusion component which does some validation and stores it into the database.
This PDF form is usually filled in by our clients using Adobe Reader 8 or below. While most of the times(and I mean like 96-97% of the times) everything goes well, at times we receive blank data into our database!! This renders couple of other features in our application useless as they try to parse an XML which does not exist.
I do believe that this is not a problem at the ColdFusion side because all it does is trim(ToString(toBinary(GetHttpRequestData().content))).
Does anyone has a clue as to why the data will be lost upon form submission?? I have done a lot of googling around it but in vain!

There is an outside chance someone is just playing with you and submitting a blank form. Not uncommon if someone is not too familiar with forms.

Hi,
In this scenario, you can share the document with the clients to and provide co-author privileges.
Co-authors can edit the form design, options, responses, and summary report (everything that you can do).
Note:- They do not require a paid subscription to view the responses, free subscription users can become co-authors.
Please refer to the following thread to know how to share a form with others:-How do I share a form I created with others?

Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

My Muse site will be hosted by a third party hosting service, as I am creating it for a client. My client wants to be able to see a monthly report of inquiries submitted via the contact form, which was created in Muse. Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

Muse makes files through interface design approach. It has actually nothing to do with the running of your site. And this forum is for Business Catalyst, Adobe's CMS. If you are not using that and a 3rd party then for tracking etc that is based on you or someone else installing the google analytics code on that website. Muse has nothing to do with that.
Here is google's starting guide for that.

How do I create forms from a scan document

I work with scans and regular pdf docs which require text boxes to be placed and then text added. Some of the text is repetitive like Name and Address etc but some maybe unique like price and quantity. How do I create a form so all blank spaces or underlined spaces get a text box and is it possible to add a macro which will fill the text boxes with the repetitive stuff. Thanks

You will need the Professional version of Acrobat because this version provides the Acrobat Forms Tool and LiveCycle Designer program either of which can create form fields. You choice of product will depend upon what you want to accomplish and how well either product will meet that need. Both products can connect to SQL data bases and both can import data from properly formatted files.
You might want to OCR the scans and add tags to the elements of the OCRed document so you could use the "automatic field recognition" feature of version 8. Not perfect,but it could save work.

I haven't seen the ora-03116 problem.
What version of Portal are you running? Are the databases at the same version? Does your table have longs or anything strange in it?
Can you query the table via the synonyms and link in sqlplus as the application schema? This is a good test because it eliminates Portal.
You should try setting up synonyms etc for the emp table. If you still get the problem then Oracle may be able to replicate it. If not, then there's sth funny about your table maybe.
I agree with Vishnu about creating everything in sqlplus. I create all my links and synonyms in sqlplus. They are all public. I have 2 synonyms: one takes you over the link the other takes you to the right schema. It's flexible and it works.
data database: D grants to P (local schema) on table T
public syn T = D.T (sys) (get the right schema)
portal dbase : public db link to data database connecting as P
public syn T = T@dblink (sys) (over the link)
P is a schema created in both databases.
Test is: P in portal dbase can "select * from T" and gets the right data.
I never, ever refer to a schema when defining a form. ie. never P.T or D.T or whatever. I always refer simply to a synonym. For the above my form would be defined simply on the table T.
Hope this helps

How to combine data from different input forms outside a nested iView

Hi,
i try to combine data from different input forms in a single one.
Because of space reasons in Flex compiling i already use nested iViews. Within these nested iViews its possible to use the 'combine' function to do this.
But in the main iView I cant compose these function with other elements. I need to do this because of using these model in Guided Procedures with output parameters. These parameters I only get with a 'endPoint'. Unfortunatly its not possible to combine data from different input forms into the 'endPoint'.
Is there any solution?
Thanx
Mathias

Hi Scott,
i tried this already and i also tried to map all parameters in the endpoint by drawing lines from the other forms and assign the 'empty parameters' by a formula.
And when i create a collable object in GP and assign the VC iView, only the parameters of the parent-form (the form who trigger the event) are shown as output-parameters.
Maybe any other ideas? I cant believe that such a simple thing is not possible?!?!
In my opinion, thats a bug, that I'am not able to use the combine-operator in the main VC-iView. Whats your mind?
greets
mathias

Need to create form that user can fill out and SAVE in Reader

Hi,
My form, which of course works fine in Adobe Acrobat 4 CS4, is unsaveable when typed into with Acrobat Reader. It says at the top:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
*I know it's possible* to make it writable/saveable for Readers users, because I have here a form that someone else created, and in Reader the message says, "Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form."
What setting do I need to change in Acrobat to make it saveable in Reader? Document attached.
Thank you in advance!!!!

Phillip,
Thank you for the clarification.
I cannot seem to find the post that mentioned that this could not be done; perhaps it was for an older version of Acrobat. If I find it, I'll send you the URL.
This is a form that will reside on a web site for download, and the forms are used by individuals to track exercise as part of a community nonprofit wellness program. I doubt 500 folks will use it. We can monitor downloads.
If we need to go above 500 downloads, how would we go about purchasing a license for additional use? And, is there a chance that Adobe will increase this limit for a purpose that is non-commercial and non-profit?
Thanks.
I don't know the answers to the question about license for additional use, nor would Adobe increase the limit. I among other that were associated with Non-profits (I was treasury for an Electronics Association for 17 years) were the reason for adobe doing this to begin with. Before Acrobat 8, you had to use the other methods mentioned (The LiveCycle Server).
