Bookmarks from form fields

Is it possible to automatically create bookmarks from the text that the user types into form fields?

In principle it's possible, but remember that bookmarks can't be added in

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

Adobe Livecycle: Save as Filename from Form Field Assistance

I have Livecycle E2 and Adobe 9.0. I am trying to have a pdf save in a desired location with a filename that originates from a field form. So far, I have created a folder level script under C/programfiles/adobe/acrobat 9.0/acrobat/javascript/xxxxxxx.js. Inside the .js folder level I have this so far:
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc, path)
     app.beginPriv();
         doc.saveAs(path);
     app.endPriv();
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc, file_path)
     // Privileged and/or non-privileged code above
     app.beginPriv();
          mySaveAs(doc, file_path);
     app.endPriv();
Also, I created a button on my pdf with a text field named "NAME". I ran a javascript with mouseUp on the button with this code:
// Get the field value
var fn = getField("NAME").valueAsString;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/c/testing/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn + ".pdf";
// Save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
For some reason, the file does not save at all in that location after typing in some text in the name field and hitting the button. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Auto Create Filename from Form Fields

Hello all,
I am trying to find a way that I can save a form with a certain filename. I have the form create and all set to go. The user will be input some information into boxes. For instance I will have a Name box and a Date box. After the user is done filling out the form I would like the filename to be these two input boxes. Is there a way to do this? So basically I need to take these two form fields and have them be saved as the filename. Any help would be great. Thanks alot.

You can export the data form the PDF using the FormDataIntegration service.
Once you have the data in xml format, you can use a setValue and concatenate the value of the two nodes you're interested in.

Gather information from form fields, sort into links for searching

I have a PDF Acrobat form that I email to about 100 people, they return the completed forms to me and I put all the forms together into a single PDF.This removes the form fields, but leaves the form information that was filled out.
I need to set up an easy way for people to navigate and search the forms by several criteria: a person's name, their country of origin, company name, and so forth. Other than manually creating links for each of these search criteria, is there a more efficient way?

How to update session state from form field values without submitting page?

Hi,
I am new to Oracle APEX. I am using Oracle Apex 4.2 on Oracle 11g release 2. The problem is that when I am entering data on a form, when I enter a value in one field and move to the next field, how can I use the value of first field in the validation procedure of next field? I know that when we enter data in fields, the session state is not updated with these values until we submit the page... right... but I have seen that if there is a control of List box type, then Apex gives an option "Action When List changes" where we can choose option to update corresponding session state field with the value of list box item, without submitting the page.
Now my questions is why this option is only available for List box items? why not for other item types like Text box, Check box,... ? can someone please help me with this?
(the issue with update of session state depending on page submitting, is that we need a complete network round trip from client to server in order for it. However if we can update session state variables without submitting page, then we can avoid this network traffic).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Create a dynamic action on change and run a PL/SQL process there with the following code:
BEGIN
NULL;
END;Page items to submit > your item.
This will set the session state without submitting the form.

After directory created addtn'l files may populate dir, so need to check for directory exists; if so just copy files to dir based on field name. I'm able to save files to hard-coded location only, based on below.
How to check and/or create dynamic directory base don field name?

Acrobat/Reader cannot create a directory. The directory needs to exist before Acrobat/Reader can save a PDF file to that directory.
You could create a plug-in and use that plug-in to create the directory. The plug-in should also be able to determine if the directory exists or not.
SharePoint can be tricky because it is not like most web sites. There is a special dash board that helps manage the different parts of SharePoint like list, folders, web parts, documents, etc so you may need to be aware of these features and adjust for them.
For folder level functions, I would not use any LiveCycle JavaScript variations. The folder level scripts are shared and accessible by Acrobat forms.

Clearing NaN error from form fields.

Hey all,
Working with this script I have and I thought my condition should clear the NaN erro but it does not. Does anyone have a clear for the NaN error that might work better. Basicully, all the script does is the person using it puts military time into 2 different areas. One "On" and one "Off". The NaN error stays in the field until they person using the form puts in the 2 times.
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = getField("HoursOFF1").value;
    var v2 = getField("HoursON1").value;
    var v3 = getField("HoursDif1").value;
          var time1 = v1.split(":");
          var time2 = v2.split(":");
          var min1 = time1[0]*60 + time1[1]*1 //
          var min2 = time2[0]*60 + time2[1]*1 ;
    if (v3 !== 0) {
       event.value = ((min1 - min2) / 60);
    } else {
        event.value = "";
If anyone can spot my error it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help! I still had to twik it just a little bit more. Final code follows:
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = getField("HoursOFF1").value;
    var v2 = getField("HoursON1").value;
          var time1 = v1.split(":");
          var time2 = v2.split(":");
          var min1 = Number(time1[0])*60 + Number(time1[1])*1 //
          var min2 = Number(time2[0])*60 + Number(time1[1])*1 ;
    if (v1 != 0) {
       event.value = ((min1 - min2) / 60);
    } else {
        event.value = "";

Unchecking Required Field from Form Field is not working

I am trying to un-check a field to a disable the required field function and it will not let me uncheck the box, its ghosted out. Upon filling out the form as-is > I enter text in the field as it requires and even after entering information it gives me an error and says its not filled out??!!!! I spent a lot of time on this form and do not have the time to recreate it just to risk getting the same result....

Hi
Did you rename the email field to Last Name? That's the only entry which will not let you uncheck this option.

Passing parameters to reports from forms.

Hi
we are using developer suite 10g and developed some applications.Our reports are working from report buider and also from the forms when we are not passing any parameter.
But when we add the clause to pass the parameter from forms fields it does not show any values and we get a blank report.
when we use this code it works with default value set in the report
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no');
But when we use code to pass the parameter like this it does not work
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'EMPLOYEE_TICKET_NO='||lpad(ltrim(:hris_employee.em_ticket_no),5,' ')||'paramform=no');
Please suggest how to pass parameter values from forms.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ansu
In your code set paramform ='Yes' .Then run report ,it will show you the values that are passing through parameters.SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=yes');
If it doesnt work for you.
Try this code
declare
     pi_id paramlist;
begin
     pi_id := get_parameter_list('item_param');
if not Id_null(pi_id) then
     destroy_parameter_list(pi_id);
     end if;
pi_id := create_parameter_list('item_param');
add_parameter(pi_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
/**********Add here your parameters***************/
add_parameter(pi_id,*'report parameter name'*,TEXT_PARAMETER,*value from form*);
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'c:\MAKESS\INVENT\REPORTS\add_mat_req.RDF',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,
pi_id,NULL);

SAP HCM P&F - Update an infotype field which is NOT passed from Form

Dear Experts,
I have a requirement to update the Infotype with the entries in the HCM form (input by Employee in ESS) upon Manager's approval in MSS.
We are achieving this functionality using HCM P&F (FPM) with an Workflow associated. In this Workflow Standard Task (TS17900108) is used to Save the form data into the Database.
But there is one field (APPROVED_DATE) in the Infotype whose value is not from the FORM but should be updated in the Infotype.
Please help me with your inputs.
Regards,
Shankar

Dear Christopher,
I am extremely thankful to you for all the replies. But, unfortunately, we are messed up with this requirement and we couldn't achieve it.
In this regard, could you please give us the step-by-step procedure to achieve this functionality?
Requirement in brief again:
We have designed Overtime HCM form (FPM) using which employee requests for the Overtime. This form is sent for the Manager for approval. We have achieved this functionality. With the Manager Approval, the database is also updated perfectly.
Then we have added one more field in the infotype to track the Approved Date. This field is to be updated along with the other fields (sent from FORM) upon the approval of the manager.
And now though the other fields are updated correctly into the infotype, the approved date is not updated.
Thanks a ton in advance for your guidance as this is very critical and urgent requirement for us.
Regards,
Shankar.

Can I port content from one pdf form to another, from within the form fields?

WE have been given a seasonal update to our pdf forms - with one new additional form field. Is there a way that I can port all the content from my ready filled form into this new one, without having to copy and paste each individual field?
Thanks.

What is it that you want to do
- you are the form filler; you want to keep the contents of a filled in form (and put them back into a changed form)?
- you are the person responsible for adding/changing form fields; you want to keep the design and location of the form fields while changing the underlying PDF?
- both of these?

Is there a sensible way to import form fields from an old pdf into a new pdf?

I'm working with Acrobat X Pro on a Windows PC platform. I've been working with a file that was originally created in CorelDraw X3, in landscape orientation. That document was then saved as a pdf and set up with many form fields (it's an order form). The document needed to be updated with minor changes made in the Corel file. I resaved as a pdf and now want to transfer the existing form fields from the old document into the newly revised one. I've tried copy/paste, but have to do small sections at a time because the program doesn't let me bring in all of the fields at the same time. I then tried Document > Replace page, which I've seen described in other forum posts; but when I do that, the entire set of fields comes in rotated at 90 degrees counterclockwise. I did read that if the original document was created in a different orientation, that could affect how the fields paste in, but that is not the case here. The original file, and all successive pdf files all have been the same orientation. I'm boggled and think that there has to be an easier way than copying fields, a section at a time, and resizing them all over again.
This older post is pretty similar to what I am trying to do, but it seems I'm getting a different end result. Any suggestions?
Create fillable form with changing source document

I am using Acrobat Pro 10. I have the same problem and finally after numerous different attempts of solving based on all the suggestions, I resolved my problem by Printing to PDF via the print dialog in Word. When I pasted the fields that were previously rotating onto the new "printed" PDf, the fields retained their orientation as desired.
To clarify, I am using Word 2007, Acrobat Pro 10, the document is landscape, both the original (with fields) PDF and all attempted new PDF's were of the diemnsions 11 x 8.5. The only noticeable difference in the PDF properties for the PDF's were Tagged PDF and Fast Web View. The original PDF (with fields) was No in both cases and all attempts other than the Print to PDF were Yes, meaning that the Print to PDF was No. I am not sure if this made the Print to PDF work or not as I have already spent too much time trying to resolves this issue. Hope this helps.

When creating a fillable form fields from an existing pdf file, how do you set or allow end user to set the font size in the fields?

I successfully created a form filled pdf using an existing pdf document. However, the font size is too large to allow end user to type in information in the form box. Is there a way to 1)globally set all of the form fields when generated to a much smaller font size &/or 2) allow end user to change the font size if needed to put all information in one box without font being so large?

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.
Regards,
Ajlan Huda.
