Can you grey out/lock a certain part of a form you created after a check box has been selected?

In Acrobat Pro 9 can I set up the form that I created to allow customers to select a check box and after they have selected the check box, the form will grey out/lock all of the information that they don't need to fill out and keep the rest of the information that needs to be filled out open?

You can do this through scripting (if you are a JavaScripter). Check out this article by Thom Parker on Conditional Execution: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/conditional-execution

SCN document: 'Insert Image' greyed out at a certain stage/size

I noticed a similar issue likeTammy has reported in discussion/thread .Cannot insert or upload an image
After having inserted text and several images to a draft document, the 'Insert Image' icon became greyed out at a certain stage/size.
I did some tests following document Solution for Error: Cannot Insert Images on SCN Content, but the the behavior remained the same. Only after having deleted the last inserted image in the document > Save Draft > Edit again the 'Insert Image' icon was not greyed out anymore which is argueing for a size restriction.
The same html coding as in the document put into a blog does not grey out the ‘Insert Image’ icon. But I found out that after clicking on the ‘Insert Image’ icon > ‘From your Computer’ tab ‘Browse’ is greyed out. Strange and argueing against a size limit is, when I choose ‘Uploaded Images’ I can select images and still insert them into the blog.
Does someone have similar experiences / can assist.
Thank you, Barbara

We have a recent discussion in SCN support.
He has same problem. Have a look into the discussion Issue with 'Insert Image' button while creating document in SCN
I suggest to split you document into two part as part 1 and part 2.

Greyed out "locked" button/ strange behaviour

anyone got any idea why virtually all my files and folders have the "locked" button greyed out? (g4 under osx 10.3.9). even if i make a brand new folder it's lock is greyed out (i thought it might have been a permissions conflict from copying stuff from other computers/ drives at first, but it seems that now this function is simply unavailable. the permissions all look ok (i am the owner of the files/ folders, i have read & write access, as do all groups and users. i have a great freeware application called File Examiner that will over-ride any permissions and that will sort out any essential files, but it is just plain wierd that when i am the owner i can't perform this simple function. is it advisable to repair permissions on the whole computer or is there some risk involved? bearing in mind that i have 1200mb of external drive storage (mainly music stuff). i have selected the main folder on some of the drives and changed every permission to Read & Write and then clicked "apply to enclosed items" and that made no difference (although it did correctly change the permissions)
These same folders have been copied to another drive downstairs, attached to a mac mini (under tiger). this has resulted in another strange problem whereby my music library behaves like it is locked and won't let me move files/ folders around. The "locked" button on the folders is actually available (which is strange as they were copied from the 10.3.9/g4 with the grey "locked" buttons), but not selected. i "solved" this problem by clicking it on, then off again.
something wierd is happening. help

thanks again for your help & patience - much appreciated
my os is exactly the same as the one you described [Mac OS x 10.3.9 (7W98), Darwin 7.9.0.
however, that menu item is definately nowhere to be found...i know the menu you are describing as i use it all the time, but i don't remember ver having seen this "file util" option.
i am slightly concerned as i'm wondering whether this has something to do with another issue i'm having: i have built a music library on various external drives connected to my g4/panther. when i connect a drive to my intel mac mini (tiger 10.4.10) and delete files/ folders they still show up in searches afterwards (in spotlight, or using the search bar in the finder) - however, it shows up with a blank icon, uses zero k, does not give any location, is "read only", and if you double-click it a message comes up saying that it is an alias and the original can no longer be found. it then gives me the 3 options usually associated with a broken alias - "delete", "fix alias" or "ok". none of these achieve anything. it is like it has retained a "ghost" of the deleted file. as you can imagine this could gradually become ridiculous as searching will show endless nonsence that no longer really exists.
never seen anything like it. if i create and delete a file or folder on the same drive from the mac mini things behave as normal....it just happens with data written to the drives when connected to the g4/panther
conversely, if i reconnect the drive to the g4 and search for any of these "ghost" files it does not find them.
i also had a brief period the other day where i couldn't move anything around in my root "mp3 library" folder on a drive connected to the mac mini (as if my root "mp3 library" folder was locked or read only - niether of which were indicated). i eventuallly "solved" it by locking the root "mp3 library" (under "get info"....by god! it actually works in tiger!) and then unlocking it again. maybe, due to the wierdness gong on with the greyed out 'locked" folders coming across from panther, tiger saw them as locked when they wern't.
sorry to ramble on but this is bending my mind
some very strange things going on

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.

>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
So this what I'm trying to do:
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
(     )   |                  |
(     )   |TEXT FIELD|
I have a radio button: (     )
and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
Thanks in advance guys

Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
Thanks,

How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how. I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click. Help?!!

If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).

My iPod has a problem. I cannot fit the charger into the bottom of the device, nor can I fit it on to the docking station. It is as if the bottom mechanism has been bent out of shape. Where would I get it repaired? Would it be expensive?

Creating a persistent check box in a Content Editor Web Part

I'm using the following HTML in a Content Editor Web Part to display a check box. It works great, but how can I make the checkbox state persistent? (i.e, it remembers whether it is checked or not between sessions).
HTML: <input name="Completed" type="checkbox" value="Completed" />

Hi
Adoukusa ,
For creating a persistent check box in a Content Editor Web Part, you need to use cookie to store the state of the checkbox and maintain the state by reading / writing cookies.
Here is JavaScript cookie sample code:
function createCookie(name,value,days) {
if (days) {
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
function readCookie(name) {
var nameEQ = name + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
return null;
function eraseCookie(name) {
createCookie(name,"",-1);

Can I duplicate the design and layout of an old form to create a new form?

Can I duplicate the design and layout of an old form to create a new form?

Hi;
You sure can.
From the "My Forms" tab with the form selected there is a "Duplicate" button on the toolbar along the top, there is also "Duplicate" in the right click context menu on a form:
Also, you can export a "Design file" (basically a template) of any form locally that can be implorted into your or anyone elses account. With the form open click "File" - "Export design File". This will save a design file to your computer which you can use to "Import Design file".
Thanks,
Josh
