Changing Properties of Existing Form Fields at the Same Time

Hi,
I am trying to turn a paper application that has been scanned into a PDF format into a digital document that applicants can fill out on their computer. The application is 71 pages long and I have completed 3/4 of it. I probably have over 1000 text boxes that I need to change the properties on. I am trying to change the text size to auto on all of them, but I would hate to have to go through and do this one at a time. Is there a way to change the properties on all existing text boxes at once?
I have already changed the default properties for the text boxes so that any new textboxes I create will have the proper settings.
Thanks,
Ravyn

Oh, it worked! Thank you so much! You have probably saved me at least 5 hours of work!
As innapropriate as this may be, if you were here in person I would hug you lol.
I have 3 other co-workers who are working on this same type of project, I am going to spread the word. : D

  • CRM2007 Factsheet - updating custom fields at the same time

    I need to change our Factsheet in CRM2007. So far, I've managed to get a new view on the Factsheet and have managed to hard-code some data into it from the Get_* method for the field in the CN** class.
    However, my requirement is to grab some data from ECC6 and populate a number of fields in the same view at the same time. I'm ok with grabbing the data but I'm not sure where to do this to populate all my fields. Can anyone offer some advice please ?
    thanks.

    Hi Malcolm,
    You can write a code similar to this in any method of the IMPL Class liek DO_INIT_CONTEXT or DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT
    or EH_ONENTER based on your reqirement. Replace the Context Node Name and Attribute Names with yours.
    DATA:lr_xxx                  TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access,
                lv_customer_type   TYPE string.
    * Get the First Entity
      lr_xxx ?= me->typed_context->CONTEXT NODE NAME->collection_wrapper->get_first( ).
      IF lr_xxx IS BOUND.
    *     Get the Vlaue in Attribute Customer Type
          lv_customer_type = lr_xxx->get_property_as_string( iv_attr_name = 'CUSTOMER_TYPE' ).
    ENDIF.
    To set the values, do this way...
    lr_xxx->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'Z_CUSTOMER_TYPE'
                                             iv_value     = lv_customer_type+0(2) ).

  • FRM: 10270 Cannot attach the library when two forms run at the same time

    I get the error message FRM: 10270 Cannot attach the library SYSLIB while opening menu BMENU but only when i try to open a second form while the first form is still running.
    Both forms are working fine as long as they ar not running at the same time.
    It seems like the second form opening does not have access to the FORMS60_PATH, because you can not open a third form because it can't find it.
    All the forms anf libraries (plx)is in the FORMS60_PATH.
    I am running developer_6i forms & reports on a HPUX 11i machine and I am trying to access them through jinitiator 1.3.1.9 on a XP machine.
    Best regards
    Macke

    Thanks a lot for the tip. I used truss and realised that it found the library but was not allowed to open it. The kernel parameter maxfiles was set to low.
    I increased it and everything works ok

  • File changes from more than one user at the same time

    Hi,
    two of  my colleauges opened a photoshop file at the same time and both could make changes. Saving the file kills one person's changes, which actually shouldn't be possible. How can this be avoided?
    Thank you

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Changing properties of duplicate form fields.

    If I am duplicating a text box field on several pages of a form, how can I set the properties of the duplicated fields (ie. pages 2 & 3) to be read only, displaying only what I have typed into the original? I don't want users to have to tab through these fields again. I have noticed that if I change the duplicates to read only then the original is also changed. Perhaps there is an alternate way of doing what I have described? (Acrobat 8 Pro).

    Yes, you have to name the fields on the other pages to a different name and add a custom calculation script renamed field to set the field value to the field on the first page.

  • Upload images & database fields at the same time

    ASP VSBasic dreamweaver 8
    I can browse & upload 2 images to the server using
    aspupload (browse to
    images click upload)
    I can populate the MYSQL database using text fields &
    recordset (enter data
    in fields press save to upload)
    I now need to work out the following on one button click
    Browse & select first image
    Browse and select second image
    Pass the image paths to 2 text fields
    upload the images
    update the database
    I end up with 2 images saved eg (C:\temp\image1.jpg &
    C:\temp\image1.jpg)
    A record in the data base with
    Time
    Date
    "Path to image 1"
    "Path to image 2"
    The reason for the above is to keep the end user interface as
    simple as
    possible therefore the risk of them sending the wrong data is
    reduced
    Cheers

    I'm not sure uploading several files at once is possible. I have yet to see anything like that.

  • How to change blending mode on multiple layers at the same time

    I'm using CS5. I have a document with about 70 layers. I would like to change the blending mode to "lighten" for each layer. Is there an easy way to do this?

    Photoshop doesn't allow multiple layer editing. That's why the styles are grayed out. Only 1 layer at a time.
    What version are you talking about?
    CS5 definitely let’s one apply a Style to multiple Layers.
    rfcommagere, I don’t know how to make it much clearer:
    • set the Blending Mode on one Layer
    • with that Layer selected create a Style with »Include Layer Blending Options« checked
    • select all other Layers that should have that Blending Mode
    • click the Style in the Styles Panel

  • How to mask and format an input field at the same time?

    Dear Experts,
    I need to have an input field, which has the following behavior:
    1. The input field accepts only number, i.e. characters other than number are ignored (not displayed on the text field).
    2. The number is automatically formatted to ###,###,### as the user enter the number.
    Example as the user enter 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, the sequence of number displayed in the text field is:
    1
    12
    123
    1,234
    12,345
    123,456
    1,234,567
    I have done the following:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    class FormattedTFDemo {
         NumberFormat cf;
         JLabel jlab;
         JFormattedTextField jftfSalary;
         JFormattedTextField jftfEmpID;
         JButton jbtnShow;
         public FormattedTFDemo() {
              JFrame jfrm = new JFrame("JFormattedTextField");
              jfrm.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              jfrm.setSize(240, 270);
              jfrm.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              try {
                   MaskFormatter mf = new MaskFormatter("###,###,###");
                   jftfEmpID = new JFormattedTextField(mf);
              } catch (ParseException exc){
                   System.out.println("Invalid Format");
                   return;
              jftfEmpID.setColumns(15);
              cf = new DecimalFormat("###,###,###");
              jftfSalary = new JFormattedTextField(cf);
              jftfSalary.setColumns(15);
              jftfSalary.setValue(new Integer(7000));
              jfrm.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("First field"));
              jfrm.getContentPane().add(jftfEmpID);
              jfrm.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Second field"));
              jfrm.getContentPane().add(jftfSalary);
              jfrm.setVisible(true);
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                   public void run() {
                        new FormattedTFDemo();
    }The "First field" adopts no. 1 behavior, i.e. it does not allow any character other than numbers, but the "," are always displayed and the number displayed as I enter 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 are:
    1 , ,
    12 , ,
    123, ,
    123,4 ,
    123,45 ,
    123,456,
    123,456,7
    which is not according to behavior no. 2
    The "Second field" displayed 1,234,567 only after the focus left the text field and not while typing. Moreover, characters other than number can still be displayed and only rejected after the focus left the text field.
    I need a guide of what text field and what filter / format / mask I should use. Am I correct to use JFormattedTextField? Is the only way to accomplish this by using JTextField and create my own PlainDocument for the textfield, where
    I rebuild the displayed output after each character is entered?
    Thanks for any advice,
    Patrick

    So exactly what do you want the user to put in? and what do you want to see?
    I need to have an input field, which has the following behavior:
    1. The input field accepts only number, i.e. characters other than number are ignored (not displayed on the text field).
    2. The number is automatically formatted to ###,###,### as the user enter the number.
    Example as the user enter 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, the sequence of number displayed in the text field is:
    1
    12
    123
    1,234
    12,345
    123,456
    1,234,567The user should type only numbers and when he types other than numbers, the field ignore it.
    What I want to see, as the user, for example, types 1-2-3-4-5-t-6-7 is:
    1
    12
    123
    1,234
    12,345
    <beep / ignore> (because t is invalid)
    123,456
    1,234,567
    Thus, I need a guide of what swing components should I use to accomplish this task. If you can give me the code, that will be perfect.
    Hope you can advise me,
    Patrick

  • Is there any way to set a property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Che

    In versions of Acrobat prior to version 9, selecting a particular form tool (Textbox, Checkbox), etc. would only display Fields of that particular type in the Acrobat Designer (not LiveCycle).
    If one wanted to change a particular property of all check boxes for example, one would select the Checkbox Tool, Click Edit>Select All>Right Click one of the Checkboxes and Set the Property for all of the Form's Checkboxes.
    Selecting a particular form tool in the Acrobat (not Lifecycle) Designer in version 9 appears to no longer filter the display to that particular form field type. Is there any way to display only 1 particular form field type in or set a particular property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Check Box, Text Box, etc.) in Acrobat 9?

    Thanks for the tip..Am aware of this option and have used JavaScript to batch change properties in the past...

  • How to Validate a Portal Form field from the database

    I created a Portal Form based on a procedure, which requires three parameters. One of the parameters is Item Number. I need to check if the Item Number exists in database. I am trying to use pl/sql button event handler, where I try to use the select count(*) statement to verify. However, I don't know how to reference the form field in the where clause. Please advise. Or is it possible to achieve this by creating a javascript? If you go to 'Shared Component' provider and click on javascript, you will see some system validation scripts, which you can call in the form level validation. My doubts with javascipt is how I can talk to database in the script? Any input is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You cannot access the DB from the script. If you want to access the values of a field you should use session variables. Here is a sample to access the values of a form field.
    declare
    ticket_no varchar2(20);
    flight_no varchar2(20);
    blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    ticket_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
    flight_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    end;

  • How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

    Hello Somdeb,
    To use the Tax form field say T003 in PDF,  there check box 'Form Processing Indicator' should be checked then only the field is available in PDF to be linked.
