Can fields be set to auto-fill

I would like to be able to auto-fill fields based on the first input where I have six fields to fill in. I cut and paste but auto-fill would be much better.

Do you mean that you want to fill in a value in one field and have it
automatically copied to another? If so, simply give those fields the same
name.

How can I set up auto fill for forms on new PC with Windows 7

I cannot find any place on the Firefox browser to add my basic contact information for filling out forms.

I cannot find any place on the Firefox browser to add my basic contact information for filling out forms.

Overnight, my Auto Fill button has disappeared, & I'd like it back!

Left computer running overnight. This morning, several buttons are missing, including Auto Fill. (Can't remember what the others were; apparently don't use them much!). Can anyone help me get Auto Fill back?

See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Restore+the+default+Smart+Bookmarks+Folders
Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

HT1692 Auto fill information has changed unexpectedly

The auto fill function on my New IPad has suddenly changed my information for filling a form to a Facebook email address that I've never seen before. All other contact items are missing. How can I reset to original auto fill? I use auto fill for forms that require address, phone, etc. now all of that is clear and I can't reset the form in safari>settings>autofill

I also have this problem!! Sure hope there is a solution.

HT201320 Why does auto fill not recognize my email address

I have set up auto fill. It use to work fine till I cloud was installed. Now when I use auto fill all the information is filled out. But when the page refreshes, it comes back as a invalid email address even though everything is correct. Is there a solution.

Was this group email successfully sent by your .Mac
account?
No; that was the first time I received the error message.
How many recipients were included with this group
mailing?
30+
Do you send a number of messages to a large number of
recipients on a daily basis with your .Mac account?
No; I do periodically, maybe 3-4 times a year to announce major changes with firm. Emails have worked in the past but possible I did them from my road runner account.
As with most other email accounts, .Mac has a sending
limit on the total number of recipients per message
and the total number of recipients for all messages
sent in a 24 hour period.
You ISP at home is RoadRunner but you use a different
ISP at the shared office?
Yes; trying to find out who it is.
If you are also accessing your RR email account with
the Mail.app and RR is not your ISP at the shared
office, are you able to send messages with your RR
email account and SMTP server when connected to the
internet at the shared office?
I access the RR email via the RR website, not via the Mail App.
Just hitting all angles in an attempt to eliminate
possible causes of this problem.

Need Help: I need a check box to auto fill a set value in separate text field.

Hi, this is my first time with inserting scripts into a PDF Form.
We have a form that requires the user to check a box regarding medical conditions they have (i.e. Asthma, Diabetes, Hypertension). Later in the form, they have to type out the same condition into a text box. (I know stupid to double document, but it is required). Is there a script that will auto fill the text box when they check the box? For example, if they check asthma, the text box on a later page in the PDF will say "Asthma, controlled." Is this possible?
In addition, if they don't click Asthma, and do click Diabetes, could it add Diabetes to the first text box, but if they check both, it would add Asthma to box 1 and Diabetes to box 2?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I'm using Acrobat 9
Thanks!

Hi, I'm staring at the code trying to make it work for my needs, which are similar to Austin's.
I have a 16-page form with 2,988 checkboxes in the entire document (a little over 200 in each page besides the first and last page). The last page contains a textbox labled Summary, and it should provide a summary of all the items checked in the document. Theoretically only one page will be populated at a time, so there will be no more than 200 checkboxes checked in the entire document.
Is it possible to use the same code? And do I just put the code under the text in the script that reads:
form1.SummaryPage.SummaryText::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
The JS I am trying to get to work is the following from a post above.
// Custom Calculate script
(function () {
    var i, v, s = "";
    // Loop through the 2988 check boxes
    for (i = 1; i < 2989; i += 1) {
        // Get the value of the current checkbox
        v = getField("checkbox " + i).valueAsString;
        // Concatenate check box value to string if not deselected
        if (v !== "Off") s+= v + "\r";
    // Set this field value
    event.value = s;

I have a user on Adobe Reader X. whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box. Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

Auto-filled fields linked to other selectable fields

I would like to create a set of numeric fields that auto-fills with default (but user-editable) values, with the selection of a radio button. I would like to be able to create a different set of values for different buttons, all pointing to the same set of numeric fields.
Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thanks,

Hi carphuntin_god,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click a hyperlink which redirect to other files , the file are opened very slowly via excel client.
How about you download the same file and open it using excel client? If it is opened quite fast, the issue should be caused by some third-party add-ins in the office program or antivirus soft.
Here is a similar thread you can have a look:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ff0c5306-5300-4010-a760-c4cca320b6fc/excell-file-taking-long-time-to-open-and-edit?forum=officesetupdeploylegacy

If you want to open the files using excel service after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
General Syntax:
http://<server_name>/<site_name>/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=<workbook path>&range=<location>
For example:
http://CorpServer/DeptA89/_layouts/ xlviewer.aspx?id=http://Mfct/Stats/Shared%20Documents/Parts.xlsx&range=Widgets!A1:F25
For more information:

If you want to open the files using Office Web Apps after click the link in the excel file, you can create the hyperlink in the following way:
http://<server name> / <site name> / <library name>/<your file name> ?web=1
For example:
http://sp/Shared%20Documents/exceltest.xlsx?Web=1

Auto-filling proceeding fields from user's initial input - Possible? How?

Hi there,
I'm quite new to LiveCycle (and scripting). That being said, I'm trying to create some automation in forms for work.
I've been asked to create a product order form in which the Order Administrator would choose the product from a list of Product Codes. Once s/he chooses the Product Code [numeric field] from this list, the Product Description [text field] appears right next to it, and then the Product Price [numeric field] would populate the last field. I will duplicate this over multiple rows into a table, then autosum the last column which should be filled with various product prices, taxes, S&H, etc. (autosumming the Price field is easy enough - this is not my issue so let's just focus on the major concern of auto-filling descriptions and prices for now...)
For e.g.
Product Code
Description
Price
6759-85746-098 [Order Admin chooses from list]
Large textbook (x1) [Automatically inputs based on Product Code]
$30.00 [Auto-inputs from Product Code]
5864-98723-124
Black pens (x10/set)
$5.25
I've tried for days to figure out how to script this, going through numerous forums, printing off reams of Adobe help documents, trying to learn Java and/or FormCalc in solitude, and yet I still can't figure this out. To explain, I'm not a coder/developer but a print-focused graphic designer.
If anyone knows how I can solve this I'd be very grateful. I'm now wondering if a) I need to somehow connect (bind?) the information in an external database or sheet (Excel?), b) figure out some elaborate script that would automate these descriptions and prices, and/or c) bang my head against the wall in fruitless frustration.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

A simple example. May not meet your needs depending on the number of products.
Droplist named ProductCode
Text Fields named Description and Price
Java Script the droplist on the change event
if (xfa.event.newText=="5864-98723-124")
{Description.rawValue="Black Pens"
Price.rawValue="$5.25"

Privacy Browsing on, web history auto-fills into new tab URL field

Even with Privacy Browsing on, when I go to open a new tab and then start typing in the URL field of the new tab, it tries to auto-fill or offer up a list of previously visited websited, ones only visited with the Privacy Browsing on.
How do I clear those and prevent them from appearing?
Thanks

Hi, Peter.
Well, again, the issue was reported with Chrome, so I'd use that to test. (IE might 'fill' the form in a way that ADF can detect it, whereas Chrome may fill the form in a way that ADF doens't sense it.) With Chrome, (using an address as the example), you'd go to the street address field, and Chrome would display a drop-down list of saved addresses. (You can set up the addresses in the settings page that I described above.) Once you pick from one of the addresses, it would fill in ALL of the address fields (e.g. street address, city, state, zip) for you. It is these other 'auto-filled' fields that ADF doesn't sense have anything in them.
I'll see if I can put together a simple ADF project and instructions for how to reproduce using Chrome....
Thanks,
Karl

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,
Sara

Auto-fill text box field values based on pulldown selection

Trying to fill in address, city, state, zip text fields based on option selected in a select form field. The following code works great in Internet Explorer, but in Chrome or Firefox, after making selection, text fields are populated with the word "undefined."
I've found a PHP version of Jquery script here that would probabably fit the bill.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3657127/jquery-populate-text-input-from-table-based-on- select-value
Maybe someone has a CF version they could share?
Thanks in advance to any who can point me to a solution for this code, or a better way to accomplish my need.

Thanks a million for the help Steve, the array is being created in source as follows:

   "locationName": "Airport Park School",
   "locationAddress": "",
   "locationCity": "",

   "locationAddress": "1001 Golf Club Road",
   "locationCity": "Wausau",
   "locationState": "WI",
   "locationZip": "54403"
but I'm lost at the
// reference as address[index].locationName...address[index].locationZip where index = 0-[arraysize-1]
direction, and just to double check, you named the Javascript var "addresses", so the "reference as address" s/b "reference as addresses" right?
I've tried many iterations of "onchange" adding other variables (locationCity, locationZip, etc.) but coming up empty.
Anyway, I wish I could buy you a beer or two for the help . . .
Here's where I'm at, which ain't working. If you have a minute to look over, it would be MUCH appreciated. Try not to laugh at my (what's probably ugly) Javascript code:

   "locationState": "#jsStringFormat(locationState)#",
   "locationZip": "#jsStringFormat(locationZip)#"
<cfset variables.fs = "," />
</cfoutput>
// reference as address[index].locationName...address[index].locationZip where index = 0-[arraysize-1]

Form is auto filling fields

I have come across pdf applications online that let you fill them out right there and submit them which is awesome but I have come across a few that auto fill all of the boxes in the section. Mainly when it wants previous employers, I will enter my current employer and it will put that info into all of the other previous employer fields. When I go to one of the other previous employer fields and change it to the correct info it changes all of the others to that information... I am very confused about what is going on and can't send in these apps because it shows that all precious employers are the same one... Any help? Thank you in advance

This means that the form was not created correctly and all of those field names are the same. If you're able to edit the form in Acrobat, you can correct it by giving each field a unique name. If that's not possible, try to get the form corrected by whoever supplied you the form.

Mac Mail contacts no longer auto filling in the 'to' field

I have suddenly lost the ability to have the contacts from my account in my contacts program auto fill int he 'TO' section of Mac Mail
Yosemite 10.10.2
the contacts are there in Contacts and they were auto addressing as I typed a few letters now they are not.
Then when I go to prefs in Mail I can't select all contacts in Compose.
Why did I loose this auto feature all of a sudden,
how do I set Compose to use All Contacts for all my accounts
"Send new messages from" has no selection for ALL CONTACTS.
THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.

Ok, I don't know if I can do this but I'm gonna reply and explain how I fixed my problem.
Seems my main email contacts, I exported my ALL CONTACTS to Gmail and now in my Gmail account the address's show up with just the first couple of letters in the address.

"TO" field in Thunderbird 31.4.0 doesn't auto-fill as well as previous versions. Why so?

Previous versions of TB wold auto fill "TO" field as soon as the characters were unique. E.g., I have Manny in my address book. In earlier versions, if I typed "man", the field would autofill to Manny. Not true now. Que pasa?

I did a bit more research: I tried setting the CodedCharacterSet to utf8 myself:
exiftool -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet="UTF8" LR1.4.jpg
...thus forcing Exiftool to interpret the iptc tags as UTF8, but that didn't give me readable IPTC tags:
[IPTC] Object Name : ? ? ^' * ? Erik
[IPTC] Caption-Abstract : Her ?r n?get m?rkeligt text. J???*@
Which led me to believe that Lightroom for Mac OS X isn't writing IPTC tags in UTF8 after all.
Finally I tried saving the content of the IPTC tags to a file, and opened that with TextMate, forcing it to interpret it as MacRoman. That worked. There were still a few weird characters here and there, but the danish characters were displayed.
So apparently Lightroom 1.4.1 and 2.0b on Mac OSX are saving their IPTC tags in MacRoman encoding. I would *really* like an option to have IPTC tags written in UTF8, because the IPTC tags currently generated from my Lightroom on Mac cannot be read properly on Windows or Linux systems.
