Can I copy a form with spry text fields?

I have two forms that are almost identical with the exception of a few fields. Instead of completely redoing the 2nd form I would like to just save the document in dreamweaver with a new name and change/add the fields I need. I've used spry text fields though. Will I have any issues with just copying and then changing this form as far as the spry files are concerned or am I just better off creating a whole new form?

Keep in mind that form field names need to exactly match your form-processing script.
Spry was abandoned by Adobe in late 2012. Since I don't use Spry for anything, I can't honestly say if the form validation will continue to work or not. I much prefer the ease of HTML5 form validation alone or with jQuery for older browsers.

I need help with a 1 Page Form with scrollable text field (5000 limit characters) and printing

Hello, I have no training in using Adobe Acrobat Pro or Livecycle Designer so I need major help with a 1 page form that I am attempting to create. Basically the form will be used to nominate employees for a Job Well Done Award.
The form contains the following:
1.) The name(s) of the employees being nominated and the date of the accomplishment.
2.) In the middle of the page I have a section for a write up, limited to 5000 characters, this is were I am needing the most help. A couple of things, about this section: The font is set at 11 and I don't want it to change. The text field has multiple-line, scroll long text enabled. The text field is a certain size and can only hold so much text, then it starts to scroll, which I am ok with, I like that feature. The issue I am having is during printing. I would like to keep the text field scrollable but when I print I would like to be able to print everything in that field. Executing this is the problem, I have no clue how to do it. I was hoping for some setting within Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle to be available, but the more I read and research this, it appears that it may require java, xml, basically some coding. I don't know for sure.
3.) Below the text field I have another field for the person nominating to type their name and right next to that another field for a digital signature.
4.) And finally below those two fields I have a Submit button that is setup to start email application so the form can be emailed to the proper inbox.
Thank you in advance.

With an Acrobat form the only thing you can do is export the text to
another location (like a blank field on another page) or to another file
format. With an LCD form you can expand the text box itself, but you'll
need to ask about that over at the LCD Scripting forum.

How do I print my form with long text ?

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 with fillable text fields. Some of our users need to print the form after completion, and my form is creating scoll bars to read text that is long and extends beyond the text box. How do I modify the form where all text will print? Does the text box just have to be larger or is there a feature I can change on the original document to enable this? I read in another post that it can be fixed in Acrobat but it did not say how to fix.

Beside the options pointed out by George, there's another option: to copy the text from the original fields to fields that are located on otherwise blank pages at the end of the document. So the original field will say (in the printed copy only!) something like "See the last page" and on the last page of the document you will have the full text from the original field.
This can be achieved using a custom-made script that is embedded in the file and executes just before the file is printed.

Form Size with one text field 442kb

I started work on a new version of a three page dynamic form because the old version was 1,537kb.
After setting up my new blank master pages (3), I placed a text field on the blank "cover page". The from size went from 12kb to 442kb with one text field. How can one small text field with no caption increase the file size so tremondously. That's a factor of 36! Any suggestions? I am using:
Microsoft Windows 7
Adobe Acrobat Pro X 10.1.6
Livecycle Designer ES2 Version 9.0
FYI: I have read that there exists some tools out there to inspect your pdf/xml and see what objects are increasing your file size. This would be very helpful, however I work for a company that gives very little freedom in downloading unapproved software. So unless there is an Adobe way to inspect for an object and its impact on size, I am in a tough situation. Thank you for your time.

Remove the embed fonts feature to reduce your file size:
File > Form Properties > Save Options
Old version file size went from 1,537kb down to 132kb

I have created a form in DW 5.0 using spry text fields. I am wondering what I did wrong to make the form fields show text?
Thank you.

Thanks again. There's one other thing I wanted to achieve here. I need the date format to be displayed like "dd/mm/yyyy" and not like it's doing by default at the moment (i.e. mm/dd/yyyy)
I don't have any knowledge of jQuery but had a go anyway at trying to fix this using this link http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/ as aid to try adjust my code. Obviously I couldn't get it to work so far... So I'm looking for a little bit of help from anyone who knows a bit of jQuery.
Here's the original default code (just the stuff that goes in the 'head' of the page):
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
</script>
And here's what I tried adding to make it work:
<script>
$(function() {
      $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
      $.datepicker.formatDate( "dd/mm/yyyy" );
</script>
Obviously I tried other combinations including .parseDate instead of .formatDate etc etc none of which worked.
I'm wondering whether the extra code should perhaps go inside where the XXs are - $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker(XX)
Anyway, if somebody could help me out that would be great. Cheers!

Mailto form with spry validation won't open in IE

Hi,
I've created a mailto: form using Spry validation fields and have two issues.
1. I create the form, transfer it to the webserver and the validation fields work. But when I reopen the form in Dreamweaver to make changes, an error window comes up saying that there are widgets that no longer exist and some of the fields have lost their validation code.
2. The form works fine in Firefox, but in IE, you click Submit, it brings up the email window, but the content is empty.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the code:

var sprytextfield6 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield6");

var sprytextfield13 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield13", "email");
var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield2");
Don't do this, it invites BIG trouble

How can I copy test plan WITH ITS RESULTS (PASS/FAIL) to other project in MTM??

Hi odedn,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, you mean that you want to copy the test plan with test results from the current team project
to other team project, am I right?
If yes, as far as I know that when we copy test plan with test results to other team proejcts. It is default that
there just will not copy the test plan with test results (pass/fail) to other team project in MTM.
You can refer the following MSDN document’s
what gets cloned, it explained that which objects are copied from the source test plan to the destination test plan.

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

You need scripts for this. Try this jQuery tutorial

Spry text fields "invisible" on ie6/ie7

Hi, Attached is a screen shot of how spry text fields look in their initial state under ie6 and ie7 on a project at www.printingcommunication.com/wa/seattle/contact.html
They are "invisible".
I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and spry 1.6.1. I have not made any modifications to the default spry yet. This works ok on every other browser. Does any one know what modifications I need to make to have these text fields show ok under IE6/IE7? Thanks...

With all associated files (including the apparently interfering css file) linked, open the page in Dreamweaver.
Make sure your CSS Styles Panel is open;
select "Current" on that panel to get a look at the styles that are in play.
In the bottom of the Styles panel, select the asterisk-asterisk-downarrow icon at the bottom left, so that you see only the styles in use.
Then (if you have the option) select the right-hand cascade button...it looks like a little flight of stairs.
Okay, in Design View, click on one of your input fields. Leave the cursor there and look over at the CSS Styles Panel. You will see the cascade of styles that are affecting that item. The lowest-most will be the most specific, but all that affect your item will show in a list.
Make sure the bottom of the styles panel is opened up...you may have to drag it open if you haven't used it; close other panels below to make more room.
You will see there all the attributes that have been defined for the particular style you are working with.
This should help you to focus on what is exactly going on. The form tags come with their own styling, so you'll have to look for styles that explicitly state something like input {border: none;} You may need to step up the list (pausing to check the attributes list) to find the affecting style.
By the same token, you can alter the styling as you wish, for instance:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
Of course, if you are using Spry Validation Text Fields, you might not want to make them red, as I have done! They will have their own set of colors.
I hope some of this helps your situation. If anything, it will let you get "up close and personal" with your CSS Styles Panel

Line item text field from MIGO are not copied into FI line item text field

Hi all on SCN, please, I need a help.
It was created as required by the user a field status group with the text field required.
This field status group was assigned to some accounts, in order to make my unit tests.
u2003
In development envirionment was made some tests directly in FI area, and it works properly.
u2003
But the user made a test using MIGO transaction, choosing in this transaction an account that he changed its field status variant to the one created in development environment, that make the text fiels required. So, to start, he donu2019t fill the text item of MIGO, and a message error appear stating that he needs to enter values in this field.
After fill in the text fiels, he can save his work.
u2003
But the FI document generated donu2019t receive the line item text typed in MIGO, but receives the values on Reference document and Document Header text entered in the header of MIGO, what is missing, donu2019t is automatically copied MIGO text line items to FI documents line Items, does there is some additional configuration missing?
Hope someone help me with this issues.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
Material document will get updated in reference field in FI by default. If for any reason, want to get this updated in text field, you need to define a subsititution in GGB1.

Earliest Adobe Reader Version with Editable Text Field Functionality

Hi all,
Can someone inform me of the earliest version of Adobe Reader with which you can edit a document with editable text fields? I've designed a form using LiveCycle and, prior to distributing it to customers, would like to determine the minimum spec for Reader.
Thanks, JB

Editable fields came in with 3.0, but if you use LiveCycle Designer,
which is new technology, it's 7.0 or so.

Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field

Hi,
Is there a way to print the check register with the Text field and also each item's Text field?"
When we enter a invoice we enter a generic text on the Basic Data tab then enter a "+" on each individual line item which in turns defaults to the generic text. Just wanted to know if the check register could draw in the individual line item detail where we can enter text that relates to just that line item. Sort of like the MIR7 draws in the detail for each item.
Kindly help me in full fill the above requirement.
Thanks

Hi,
Can any one help me on this issue?

Best Solution for Creating an Onlne Purchase order form with multiple calculation fields

I am a bit confused. Our school has a Forms Central account which works great for our registration forms but I need to find a solution for creating an online purchase form with multiple calculation fields - I know that forms central does not support calculation fields (too bad) but I know that Acrobat Pro does... soooo...
Can you create the forms in Acrobat and then somehow integrate the advanced features into forms central? Do they talk to each other? Is this easy to do? .... I guess another way to putting it is can you create the forms in Acrobat including all of the advanced features for payment calculation and then host it online using Forms Central to manage and collect the data? (I guess that really is my question)
Thanks (how does this compare to a solution like Formstack?)

Hi, thanks.
The naming convention was the consistant up until a point when I read that you need a '.' syntax (?!) - does anyone know if this is true?
Attached is a version with Bernd Alheit's suggestion and with all the naming of the fields being consistant. It's still not working for me though after doing this and I'm stuck as to why, because I think it should work. I've also tried writing the calcualting line of code in the same manner that Bernd Alheit suggests before I came on here, and it wouldn't work then.
As with any coding, it must be something to which I have done, but I can't see it anywhere
Any ideas? Thanks for helping me
Cheers

Paging a data table with input text fields

I've created a datatable with input text fields so that contents can be edited. I have 'save' and 'cancel' buttons on the page so that changes can be saved or abandoned. That seems to work fine.
However, I have a problem with paging. If I modify an input text field, page to the next page in the datatable and then page back, the modified input text field reverts to the original entry in the database. Does anyone know how I can preserve this change (without issuing a commit) until the user clicks on the save button?
Here is a snippet of jsp with datatable.
<h:dataTable binding="#{DocTypeDetail.doctypeMetadataTable}" headerClass="list-header" id="doctypeMetadataTable"
