Building a Form (Field Question)

I have my form designed with several numeric fields. Here's what I need to do. NumericField3 is at the top of my form. NumericField11 is at the bottom. I'd like to be able to have anything that is typed into NumericField3 to be automatically populated to NumericField11. I don't need any calcuations or anything, just have the data that is typed into NumericField3 automatically pop down into NumericField11. Is this possible? If so how?

Hi,
Rename NumericField11 to NumericField3.
In the hierarchy view you will see the two objects, NumericField3[0] and NumericField3[1]. Now select one of these, doesn't matter which one, and go to the Object > Binding tab.
Set the binding to 'global'.
This way what ever is typed into either field will automatically appear in the other one - no script involved.

CF form field question

I have:
<cfinput name="OpenFoil" readonly="#iif(url.e eq
0,de('yes'),de('no'))#"
type="checkbox" value="1" checked="yes"
onClick="optionFoil(this.form)">
I would like to check the box if url.e is 0. When I try the
above code,
I can still check the box, and uncheck it, its not read
only...... Will
this not work the way I want?

Hello BKBK,
Ok, its odd, if I have:
<cfinput name="OpenFoil" #iif(url.e eq
0,de('disabled'),de(''))# type="checkbox"
value="1" checked="yes" onClick="optionFoil(this.form)">
I get:
Invalid CFML construct found on line 280 at column 61.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
If I have:
<cfinput name="OpenFoil" <cfoutput>#iif(url.e eq
0,de('disabled'),de(''))#</cfoutput>
type="checkbox" value="1" checked="yes"
onClick="optionFoil(this.form)">
I get:
Invalid token c found on line 280 at column 62.
So, where have I gone wrong????

Data should get inserted in all tables if i enter the form field only once

Hi, I have a new question again.
There are 5 tables in a database, that is t1, t2, t3, t4 & t5. the first 4 table has one common column, known as lc_no. I have build the form using the form builder. In that form, there is a 1 text field for lc_no. I have not started to code anything as yet in the form because everything with respect to it is working fine and even the data is getting inserted. But the problem is that, when i enter the data in the form, the lc_no gets loaded in only one table. I want the data to get inserted in all the tables. What should i code? How should i start off? I'm very new to this & don't exactly know how do i start with it ?
Thank You. Can you help as i have not yet started to code in this form.
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0.
oracle forms 6i.

Let us say table one have lc_no, other columen
Table 2 have LC-no , other columsn
Table 3 have lc-no , other column,
Now in form(which has table1 as base table)
In PRe-Insert write like below
Insert into table2 (lc_no) values (:table1.lc_no) here tabel1 should be block name in form.
Insert into table3 (lc_no) values (:table1.lc_no)
................and so on .. to other table.
So, now when user commits the form, the lc_no will be available in all the other tables..

Form Field Appear on Value Entered

I am running Coldfusion 9 and building a website using Dreamweaver from CS5.
Is there a way to make a form field appear only if a certain value was entered into the previous form field? If so how? For example I am creating a registration page and one of the form fields is "Property Type" where the user can choose from "Residential, Commercial, Other" from a drop down menu and if the user chooses "Commercial" I want an additional field to pop up for the user to enter a value in "Company Name"??? Thanks for your help

WolfShade,
My apologizes for posting this question in the wrong forum. Since I have already started the discussion here I will ask you my question here still. I put in the lines of code you suggested however when I go to the drop down list and select "Commercial" no text input box appears for the Company Name field. If you have a min I will post my code below. Your help is very much appreciated. I should let you know I also tried adding the on change to the actual option tag for commerical i.e <option onChange...>Commercial</option> and still did not appear. I put the work area in red text hope it helps.

Acrobat form fields- is it possible to have a sign-in validation before proceeding?

I am building an interactive pdf for one of my clients. She would like for me to create a registration form on page 1, which would be a mandatory sign-in delivered to an online data base.
Here is my question: Is it possible to create a pdf registration form that only allows access to the rest of the pdf once they have completed the form?
Any information is much appreciated!
Wendy

There are various ways this can be done, but none of them will work 100% of the time.
For example, you could:
- Hide all the form fields until the user fills in the data on the first page
- Use a script to prevent the user from leaving the first page until the form is filled
- Place the rest of the file in an attached PDF which will be opened when the user fills the form

Acrobat XI Windows 7 - unable to (copy and) paste form fields to a different pdf.

To maintain a consistent appearance and function in the forms I create for various departments, I copy a few form fields (text, checkboxes) from an unrelated Acrobat PDF. Then I paste those fields into a different PDF document that I am making fillable.
I do this because Acrobat does not allow setting a default for certain attributes when creating form fields, i.e. an unchecked scroll option, a default font other than Helvetica (in Acrobat 8, 9, and X). Plus it is time-saving to copy and paste fields that are the same in another PDF, like name, address, phone. etc.
We just updated to Acrobat XI and Windows 7 and now I cannot paste copied fields onto a different PDF.
Using "replace pages" is not applicable as I am pasting to an entirely different form and copying form fields with the settings I use.
Is this a glitch or is something new that was not in Acrobat 8, 9, and X?
Also, question regarding this forum entry - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5638333#5638333 - which is somewhat different from my current question.
The PDF creator could not paste copied fields on other pages of the same PDF. Was this ever resolved so that copy and paste worked as it has for the last 3 versions of Acrobat?
Thanks!
Joanie

Gilad: You're right: when the fields are different, such as a checkbox and a text field, and you try to title them the same, Acrobat gives you a message. I received no messages, the field names are not the same or I missed one and Acrobat is no longer messaging about it.
My question is different. Acrobat XI will not let me paste any field copied from a different PDF. I've been doing that for 5 years in three different versions. Maybe Acrobat XI has a new process for that, which I could not find in Acrobat help. Maybe it's because all forms now have extended rights automatically in Acrobat XI and there is another method to copy common fields to other PDFs.
Any thoughts about the new Acrobat XI? It's different in many good ways, but different.
Thanks for your ideas.

Expanding Text to fit expanding form field

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have embedded some text fields in paragraphs which are dynamic and adjust but now I am having a hard time getting the text within the paragraph to adjust to the form field. Is there a way I can do this? Sorry if this is a simple question.

what you need is flooting field in the running text. You can use as many flooting fields as you need in text. Focus in that direction.

I am looking for a app that will allow me to build and form for staff review then log it back to a main computer across mutiple users

Please help,
The app that I need is one that firstly build and set of question into a form, then allow other staff member to fill in the answers and then generate a report back to a centre database for review.
Also within this app if it is able to GPS locate where the form has been filled out and if possible a time tracker for wages. All of these need to be then place in a report and sent back to a person or manager.
The company I work for is looking to use this to replace some very old tech.
So when need it to be able to hold multiple different forms to fill in, track two different pay rates and log a GPS location on the forms.

I recommend that instead of working on an iPad application you get a good web programmer in and set up a web-facing system that can be used from anything with a web browser -- an iPad, a smartphone, a laptop or a desktop. Then your employees can access the system from any computer with a web browser, and you don't need to employ an expensive specialist programmer to produce a system which is useless for devices made by other manufacturers. The only requirement for use will be that your devices must in range of either WiFi or a phone signal.
It will also mean that if you need to change your software at any time you only have to change one copy, back at headquarters, rather than update an App on every individual iPad.
Apple's web browsers (including the ones built into iDevices) allow a web site to request the user's location, so people using an iPad should be able to do the things you have asked for.

Form field to open a external URL passing the value typed by user in URL

I am trying to build a text field with a "Go" button beside it so that when a user types in a value (e.g. a bug number) in this text field, it opens up a external URL (e.g. bugdb URL) with the parameter being passed in the URL. e.g:
P1_SEARCH (Text field): 464666 (value)
So when I click on the Go button beside it, I want a URL to open in a new browser with the following URL:
http://xxxx.oracle.com/pls/edit_info_top?report_title=&rptno=:P1_SEARCH (P1_SEARCH should be replaced at the run time)
I tried using the branching and javascript:popupURL but I was not able to achieve the above mentioned flow.
Also, I noticed that when I try to create a button in a region selecting the option "Create a button displayed among this region's items", a javascript:doSubmit is automatically associated with it. Is there any way of changing it to javascript:popupURL?
Can somebody help me to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Narayan,
Please don't post the same question twice. If you don't get an answer, it's OK to "bump" it by replying to your own question. You've already asked this question here:

What are the limit of Form Fields?

Hi all
I'm quite a new user to Acrobat Form Fields so please forgive any blantant errors...
A client of mine bascially wants to edit and produce his own versions of posters and ads that I've produced for him.
Another agency has already told him that it can be done by using Form Fields so now looking into this avenue for him.
My experience of fields in the past is that are quite limited and should only really be used in areas where information is required - answers to questions, names and addresses etc, etc.
But, my client wants to actually edit headings and replace logos!!!
The pic below sort of illustrates the situation....
Would I be able to set up field that allow the heading to be changed?
By changed I mean would he be able to add substantially more text (as is a clients want) and thus edit the size of it to fit the space?
And what about the logo? Would that be able to be changed?
On the face of it I imagine it's a big fat 'No' and the only solution would be to set up some sort of web based site.
But I need to explore the possibilies of an Acrobat based file first.
cheers in antisipation
Andy

Text fields can be set up to allow Rich Text Formatting, which means that a user is able to select a font, change the font size, color, and other properties. Logos can be changed by setting up a button (with a layout other than Label only) and using the buttonImportIcon method. The latter allows the user to select a page from another PDF as the source of the button icon, or with Acrobat an image or other type of document that Acrobat knows how to convert to PDF can be used. If your client only has Reader, he would have to use Reader 11 for the buttonImportIcon method to work, and he's only be able to import from PDF, not directly from other formats. But it's fairly easy these dats to convert to PDF without Acrobat.
The JavaScript that you'd use in the button's MouseUp event would be:
// Import an icon into this button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
If the PDF will then be distributed, the text fields and button should be set to read-only so the end-users don't mess with it. If this needs to be done with Reader, you can use another JavaScript.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional-Fillable Form Fields Disappeared

Urgent Reply Needed --- After spending from 3 hours creating Fillable Form Fields - which I have done many times - the most recent form I just completed had all forms fields except one missing when I reopened the Adobe Acrobat document. How did this happen? How can I prevent it happening again as I have never seen this happen before?
thanks - Bonnie

Bonnie,
You'll get a much quicker answer asking this question on the regular Acrobat User-to-User forum. This forum is Acrobat 3D Feature specific, and as such, only has people looking for 3D related issues. You'll get a much quicker answer on the other forum.

How to build a form with multiple tables in oracle application express

Hi everyone,
I have got problem in building a form with multiple tables.I have a main table with (20) columns and this main table is related to the other tables with the primary key-foreign key relation ship.My requirement is i have to build a form which has fields from many tables and all the fields are related to the main table using (ID) column.In that form if i enter ID field i have to get information from differnt tables.
Please help me to solve this (building a form with mutiple tables)
Thank you
sans

Sans,
I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

Updating form field Acrobat 9.0

I'm programming in Visual Basic and I'm able to read a form field but I when I try to update it's value, nothing happens. This code works fine in Acrobat 7.0.
set f =jso.getobject("fieldname")
f.value = "New Value"
The field updates fine in Acrobat 7.0, but does nothing in Acrobat 9.0. Acrobat 7.0 has been uninstalled on the machine and only Acrobat 9.0 is installed. I can read the existing field values, but the code line doesn't work in 9.0. What am I doing wrong?

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3128922#3128922
I don't see any documentation like that except in Life Cycle and I need to change the fields programmatically in VB. I ran across this discussion you had with another poster that is basically the same question I had. Can you give me a link or something?

Actions tab for form field properties

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSDFC888F9-219C-4b55-90E6-D316E2A85F08.w.htm l

I am working in Acrobat. I trying to create a form dealers will complete and submit. There will be no licensing issues. I have created a button and named it SUBMIT. In the Actions tab I have selected “Submit a form.” I have entered “mailto:[email protected]” under “Enter a URL for this link”. I have also selected “PDF The complete document” as the Export Format.
I saved the file but when I go to the Preview Mode and click the new “Submit” button, I am asked to “Save PDF as” from a menu. Even if I rename the file and click save, nothing happens. I am back in the Preview mode. If I click “Submit” again, I get the same “Save PDF as” routine.
I am baffled.

Actionscript & changing form field values

I am building a form using flash forms. I have a particular
field that by default the value is 0.00. I want to make an onchange
actionscript that will dynamically change the form field value to
0.00 if the end user deletes the value out of the field and leaves
it blank.
Please be gentle...I know my actionscript'ing is poor (and
probably looks a wee bit more like JS than AS) LOL
<cfsavecontent variable="zero_myfield>
if (myfield.text == '') {
myform.myfield.text == "0.00";
</cfsavecontent>
<cfinput type="text" name="myfield"
onchange="zero_myfield">
I know you can manipulate the value of a form field easily
with javascript, but how to do the same thing with actionscript?
Any pointers would be appreciated!
Thanks!!

ROFL, I figured as much...like I said, my AS is *very*
rudimentary right now heheh
I picked up an AS book yesterday evening to hopefully help me
out some, I know not all AS is available to use in ColdFusion flash
forms, but it will give me a good reference I hope.
I'll try my hand at the listener and see what I can come up
with. Thanks for the pointer!! :)
