Changing the background of a text field in adobe interactive forms

Hello All,
Is there any way to change the background colour of text field in interactive form dynamically.??
Thanks,

Naresh,
Change the language to JavaScipt in Script Editor of LiveCycle Designer and use the following code to highlight the area of TextField where R,G,B means that you have to give the RGB values of the color you want.
<YourTextFieldName>.border.edge.color.value = "R,G,B";
For eg:- If you have a textfield with name TextField1 then this will highlight the TextField1 area in red color.
if ((TextField1.rawValue==null) || (TextField1.rawValue==""))
TextField1.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
You can use this on exit event of Textfield1 or at the submit button where you check the form data.

Change the background of a text field when a checkbox is checked?

Hi,
I'm new to Adobe JS, having done some browser scripting previously.
I'm making a form in which I would like to change the background of a text field to bright yellow (RGB code 220,220,0) when a corresponding checkbox is checked?
I have a checkbox named chkCD56, with an option value set to 1.
I have a text field named CD56 with a transparent background.
Can someone help me with the JS code?
Thanks.

Hi
To make your number filed in Red :
Right click on the field and go in format field click on Font tab and go in Color formula editor and give the following formula :
If Sum(fieldValue} < 0 Then CrRed else CrNoColor
Now go in Style formula editor and give the following :
if sum() < 0 then Critalic
This will make your field red and italic when it is less than 0
Thanks,
Sastry

How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

Hello all!
First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Everyone

All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

How do I change the background color of text in Pages quickly?

I know that I can highight the words with my cursor, then press the little "a" in the toolbar, then select the color I want. However, I have to hihglight a ton of separate sentences in documents that have a few hundred pages.
Is there a shortcut for changing the background behind the words to a specific color? Or is there a way to do it with just one click? I don't want to have to carefully select the color I want each time. I just need one color, and I'd like to be able to set it easily.

Thanks, didn't even know about the styles drawer.
In summary for others...
Perform the background change on some text, and put the cursor on the text (click the text).
Command+Shift+T to bring up style drawer.
Click and hold the "+" button and click on "Add new Character Style" from selection.
Click on the arrow beside "Include these character attributes."
Deselect all of the attributes except for the "Fill."
Change the name to "Highlight Yellow" or whatever.
Then whenever you click on it in the styles drawer, it will apply the fill.

How to change the font used to fill in a text field in an interactive form.

Can you please tell me how I can change the font that comes up when you go to fill in a text field in an interactive PDF?
Can this be set in InDesign or does it have to be done in Acrobat?

Only in Acrobat. Tools > Forms > Edit. Double-click on the text field to change its Appearance.

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

Process data of none bound fields in Adobe Interactive Form (stack 13)

I use a Adobe interactive form (made in Designer 7.0)which is a combination of fields bound to Web Dynpro Context fields and fields which has no binding at all (in Designer: Default binding = Normal). The Adobe Document Services on the J2ee server is of stack 13.
When I save the Adobe Form (off-line scenario)from the Web Dynpro Application, only fields bounded to the Web Dynpro Context are saved in the Form on my local file system(no warning that data isn't saved).
When I open the Form for off-line editing, I can change bounded fields and none bounded fields. But when I save and re-open the form, the data in the none bounded fields is lost.
I used the same scenario in a stack 11 j2ee/portal system, but then all data (bounded or not) in the form was saved!
Could anyone explain the difference, but better tell me how to save both kind of fields in the off-line form (and bounding all fields is not a solution).
Thanks in advance,
Richard

Hi,
Check your ADS settings, I feel it's due to lack of some config in ADS only.

Hiding a field in adobe interactive form

Hi All!
I am working with Adobe Interactive form. I want to make a subform invisible based on the selection of one of the options in the dropdown list. I tried the following javascript in the change event of the dropdown list:
xfa.resolveNodes("subformName").presence = "invisible";
but nothing happens when i change the value of the dropdown list.
Please suggest some solution for this.
Thanks!

Hi Temp,
We can use a data driven approach for setting the presence. The Minimum Occurrence property has to be set as 0. In this approach if data does not exists at runtime for that particular node, the complete subform will be invisible without any reserved space. (In this approach also layout has to be set as Flow Layout only).
regards
Sumit

Currency fields on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
I have placed a currency field on the Adobe Interactive Form.
Local has been set to 'Viewer's System Locale'.
But if I try to put any amount in this field, the following error message is displayed:
"Distance Between Separators for Thousands Must Be 3."
I tried with following amounts:
10000
10000.54
10
1
Note that my default decimal point is '.'.
Regards
Sagar

Sagar,
Goto Object Palette --> Value Tab --> Check if you set any Validation Pattern for the currency field.
If you don't want, remove the validation.

How does one change the "rollover" value in text field of fillable PDF

I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values. I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company. I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how. I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

I guess you are referring to "Tool Tip" you can update those in "Accessibility" Pallet...in designer you would access this by Shift+F6.

How can I change the background color in text box using RGB format

Can some one tell me if Mac Pages (version 5.0) allows users to customize the background color of a text box using RGB color format? It appears that the text color can be changed using RGB but background color is limited to a few standard colors. Thanks

They are just sample swatches, use the Color Picker to choose anything you want.

Change the maximum length of a field in oracle apps forms.

Hello all. The form which is used is POXPOEPO(purchase order) and the corresponding field is Supplier note(NOTE_TO_VENDOR).
The note_to_vendor field is stored in the table po_headers_all .The length of the field which actually is *480bytes* but if we have to enter more than 480char, what we have to do.
I used the custom.pll and tried to change the property of MAXIMUM_LENGTH using app_item_property2.set_property('PO_HEADERS.NOTE_TO_VENDOR',MAX_LENGTH,500). But there is no such property it seem. Is there a solution to enter more than 480 bytes in the field Supplier note(NOTE_TO_VENDOR).
Thank in advance.

Changing the lenght of the note_to_vendor field in the database or form is not advisable.
You should create a short text attachment at the header or line level.
Oracle seeded PO printing programs print this attachment on the PO /FAX.
This attachment can be much longer.
Hope this helps,

Sum the values of a text field in a tabular form using JavaScript

Hi Folks.
OK, I put my hands up. I don't know Java script but I'm picking up the basics and I WANT to learn.
Here's my situation.
I have a tabular form which has lots of Standard Report Columns and ONE text field.
I want to sum the values entered in the text field, real time, using Java Script without the need to have a round trip to the database.
I'm guessing this will involve some kind of loop. Once I have that SUM figure I will store it in a hidden item and it will be used for validation when the user submits the form.
If anyone can give me a simple Java Script to do this, or point me in the direction of one, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks.
Dogfighter.

Hi Arie.
Thanks for the link.
That's a great start,
What I've got working so far is the following...
<script type="text/javascript">
function f_calculate_delta(p_this,p_rownum)
var amt = $x(p_this).value;
alert (amt);
var display_item_to_set = 'f08_'+ p_rownum
$x(display_item_to_set).innerHTML = amt
</script>
This is working fine.
Where I'm stuck at the moment is how I can 'get' the value of another cell in the same row. They have all been set up using the APEX_ITEM API with their own unique IDs.
I will continue looking but if you could give me a steer, that would be great.
Many thanks
Simon
PS. APEX 3.1
PPS. Trying to get the value of another row using...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $x(display_item_to_get).value
PPPS. Also tried...
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get)
and
var display_item_to_get = 'f04_'+ p_rownum
var expected_amt = $v(display_item_to_get).value
None of which are working at the moment.
