Can a BIG form be served up one page at a time to avoid long load time?

Tricks I have read for optimizing the load time of large forms are not helping. Linearization causes the first page to render quickly, but you can't interact with the fields until the whole form finishes loading -- no help there. Is there a way to break the form into pages (without creating entirely separate forms) so the user can fill out a page, hit a Next Page button, fill out that page, etc.? Understood that this is an old school idea, but until Reader can download a 1+ MB form in less time than it takes an average user to get ticked off, old school might do the trick.
Alternatively, is there a way to construct a form so you can start interacting with it without having to wait for it all to load? This question comes from the (uninformed) assumption that maybe there are forward references that can't be satisfied until all the bits have come over the wire. If that's right, can a multipage form be architected so as to avoid this problem?

No that technology does not exist yet. There are form level events that need to have the entire document there before they can fire. Also you would have to keep track of where you are so that would mean some sort of session information for each user.

  • May i can't have Forms+Reports server on the same machine ?

    Gurus!
    I have installed Forms+Reports server on the same machine with their builders too. But then Forms & Reports server does not function when i call my .fmx file in browser the message,
    "Java applet loading" appears but then the process hang up.
    But when only installed Form server my .fmx file works.I also want to call my .rep files from forms.
    May i can not have Forms+Reports server on the same machine?
    Separately they work but not both but i require both how!
    I have also seen when both installed and when i start services of both then ifweb60.exe is called two times in memory, it shows from task manager's process tab.
    Please help!
    Many thanks

    1. Check these files to make sure you have the correct port settings for your forms: formsweb.cfg, base.htm
    2. In your Windows Registry:
    a. Add path for Reports Server (REPORTSxx_PATH)
    b. Make sure you also have FORMSxx_PATH defined
    c. Check values of your OracleFormsServer.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    ControlSet001
    Services
    OracleFormsServer
    Verify the values of Host, Mode, Pool and Port.
    3. Check Metalink Note 97487.1 for additional info.
    And YES, Apache, Forms, Reports and Graphics can all run in the same machine.

    Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
    Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
    If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

  • Can in a form do two things :one is query and the other is upload ?

    Hi,
    I have a table with which I create a form, I want to after I had upload a file at the same time compare with a query in the form. But, the problem occur that
    I uploaded the file name cannot insert into the table. I had created insert in the Process, however, the insert OK message can see, but there is not able found the file in the table.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Wong

    Hi,
    Now, I can upload file into the table. But, I want while I upload a file and the data input in the form also save into the same table together. When I save data in the form alone it is ok, then now I only do one thing in this form. So can I do both
    of saving into the same table.

  • Can i have 2 essbase server for one EAS??????

    Hi all,
    Currently I'm working on version 11.1.2.I need some help.
    Actually my question is can i have 2 essbase server(Dev and Prod) under one administrative server i.e., Localhost1(Dev) and prod as its own box i.e.,Localhost2.Here my username and password for Dev and prod are different.So while adding the prod Server .I'll uncheck the single sign on option and enter my username and password for the prod server.When i add the prod server i could not see any application under the server.My question is Do we need to have any connection between the DEv and Prod server in order to have 2 essbase servers under one EAS????
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    RSG

    It means that EAS can't see Essbase running on the server you specified. This is either because Essbase really isn't running, the Essbase agent isn't listening on the default port (1423), the server name you have provided is wrong, or the server name can't be resolved from the EAS server's perspective.
    First I'd confirming you can access the PROD Essbase server just to confirm that it's up (though since it's Prod, I guess you'd know if it wasn't running...) using e.g. MaxL, SmartView or the Excel Add-In.
    Then try using the server's IP address instead of the server's name when you enter the details into EAS.
    I am not great with networking so I can't give a full description, but I have also worked on sites where the PROD environment was intentionally completely cut off from the DEV / TEST environments - i.e. no TEST server can see a PROD server. Is it possible your site works that way?

  • How do I make the form/pdf fit to one page?

    I designed my first form today and it's two pages long.  How do I get it all to fit on one page?  It will be saved as a pdf.

    While designing the form it will help to be in Page View.  This gives a very close approximation to how your fields will appear in the resulting pdf.  In the Design tab use menu View-> Page View.  All page breaks will now appear as dotted lines.  To aid in fitting more fields you can place forms side by side or reduce the font size.  Eliminating the Header also helps.

  • Can you add a Print Button to one page?

    I have a form with 15 or so pages of information.  I do not want the submitter to get a printout of the entire thing.  However, they are given a chance to pay via PayPal or pay by mailing a check.
    If they chose PayPal, no big deal.  If they chose to mail a check - I would like them to either GET a print out of the last page, or have a button they press to get a print out of the last page.  This page would be required to be sent along with the check so I can tie it back to the record.
    Is this possible?
    Thank you!
    Jeanine

    What is it you need to accomplish?
    If you just want work to be saved as people move through the form, you could prompt them to hit the save link, if you've enabled it. This would allow them to come back to the form and finish it later, and preserves all selections and filled-in information. When they then hit the "Submit" button at the end of the form, all of their info deposits into the data set.
    If you don't mind the data being split across multiple data sets, you could create multiple small single-page forms, and when the respondent hits the "Submit" button, they could be automatically redirected to the next  form. You would set this up in the form Options tab and select the Redirect URL panel.
    Otherwise, follow Josh's suggestion for a PDF.
    I hope that helps,
    Brian

  • Form validation working on one page, but not the other....

    Hope someone can help with this.
    I have a page below with a load of contact forms which all work fine :
    http://www.goodsafariguide.com/judges/judges.php
    I've trued to recreate (admittedly mostly by saving as....) the same functionality here :
    http://www.goodsafariguide.com/awardssite/judges/
    They do work when fulled in correctly, but there's a glitch with the validation.
    Basically when you fill in a form incorrectly, the page reloads, with the form's accordion closed. When you open it up, its showing the ugly looking error at the top of the form.
    Any ideas what's causing it to act like this, as opposed to the way it works in the first link?
    Thanks.

    When looking at the source code I note that - unlike the first page - this one doesn´t contain any references to the ADDT form validation libraries ("../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js" and "../includes/tng/scripts/FormValidation.js.php"), meaning that the validation can´t work.

  • Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

    I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
    In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
    Thanks!
    Gary

    The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
    My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
    Pages can't; Word can.
    (I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)

  • How can I put seperate score files onto one page in the Layout?

    I have written some exercises in different keys. They are small files. Each of them are saved individually and cover only part of a page each but I want to lay them out on one single page. I can't work out how. Each file is in a different key. As a short term solution I tried to combine them into one file and then could not work out how to change the key signature. When I insert the #'s and b's the following notes don't move to the right. So that does not work the way I do it. Does someone have a solution, please?
    Cheers,
    ansu

    Thank You, musicspirit, for your support. What you suggested I had done already, but it did not work always only sometimes. ( Like a disfunctional light switch). Maybe I missed some setting or whatever or tried too many things...or..Anyway quite a few things didn't work, I spare you the details. Meanwhile I did disk maintenance and tossed out the files and started again from scratch ( which I wanted to avoid) and everything worked out fine so far. No problems with clef change, etc.
    But to make it look as if I had three songs or three separate exercises on one page I need to create a bigger space between the 3rd and 4th staves and the 6th and 7th staves. I can do this only globally, which means I manage only to increase the space between all the staves. (I hope I am not asking the wrong thing again. Manuals are not always easy for the novice.)

  • How can you have two link styles on one page?

    I have one style (formatted link style) for internal links in
    my footer but I want a different style for the external links in my
    mainContent. Is it possible to have two different "styles" of links
    on one page? I tried creating a new set for the mainContent links
    and being positioned underneath my footer link's styles, the "new"
    mainContent link styles overrode the footer link style. Is there
    another way of going about this?

  • Adobe forms prints part of one page 6 times on a sheet of paper

    I am attempting to print a completed web based Adobe form and the 8.5x11 page prints part of  the page about 6 times on one sheet of paper.  This has happened before on Adobe documents and I was able to get around it by saving the PDF file (downloaded from a home utility website) then opening it in Adobe Reader XI and printing it.  This time I do not have the ability to save it since I filled out an Adobe form (the system will not let me save the completed form as a PDF file.)   My system:  iMac 27-inch Late 2009; OS:  OS X 10.9.4; Adobe Reader:  XI, version 11.0.07; Printer:  Canon Pixma MP490 (verified I have the latest drivers)
    Print preview shows the document the way I would expect it to print.
    The last time I called we never resolved the issue:  Apple points to the printer or Adobe, Adobe points to the computer or the printer, and Canon points to the computer or Adobe.

    When I first open the form on the web it appears to be an Adobe file, but still on the web via Safari.
    Even before I try to save the file there is a message at the top of the screen that reads, "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."  BUT, when I just saved a blank copy of the form to my desktop, opened it in Adobe Reader XI, filled in the form and then printed it the form printed nicely.  Problem resolved, or at least a work-around handles the problem easily
    It is frustrating that I cannot print directly from the Adobe file via Safari; i.e., I have to experiment to find a solution instead of just hitting the print button (yes, I'm lazy!). 
    Thank you!!

  • How can I make multiple popup links on one page?

    I was wondering if anyone had a simple code that will allow me to have multiple popup links on one page? I have no idea what to do.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
