Clear form after submitting, Adobe X Standard

I am trying to set up a form in Acrobat X standard that will clear the fields after it has been submitted. The form is on a local network and is being distributed using the Forms tool. Employees need to fill in the form then click the submit button on the top right side of Adobe reader, not a button field in the form. I am trying to keep employees from having one person answer the questions then letting others change the name and resubmit. Is there a script that can do this? I am new to Javascript so I have no idea how to do this or if it can be done.

I guess I'm not making myself clear about a major problem I have. I do not know anything about Java or JavaScript programming. I understand what document level means but I have No idea how to write a script. I can open the debug console but that is as far as it goes. With that said, I would like to figure this out but it will take a lot of hand holding. The way I see it, I need to know how to call the Adobe Reader "Submit" button, "not a form field" so that when it is clicked on "mouse up" it starts a timer. After the form has been submitted the "resetForm" command activates and all fields reset.
So how does all that get to be a JavaScript? I have no clue..........

How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App

How can I clear a form after submitting and saving the data in the iOS Acrobat Reader App

Darrell,
Thanks for this response. After I posted mine, I saw that the resetForm JavaScript method is documented as being supported starting with version 10.5: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Mobile/js.html
But I haven't been able to get it to work. Can you clarify if support was indeed added and if it works for you?

After submitting adobe forms, nothing happens

Hi Guys,
Our scenario is, from R/3 Enterprise we are RFCing to NW04s based adobe system. The form gets displayed in R/3 and then after keyin the input, it submitted. At this moment, nothing is happening, I wonder if the relevant event is getting triggered. However i have no way to validate this, we have run http trace,smicm trace and system trace in SAP however after sumission nothing happens and we get a message stating "page cannot be displayed". How i can validate whether after submission any event is getting triggered. We are using 3rd party Adobe forms.
Regards
Kalyan

Hello,
there are things that must be clarified:
- RFCing to NW04s based adobe system --->>> I am not aware of any adobe based netweaver, do you mean ADS installed on that system?
- The form gets displayed in R/3 and then after keyin the input, it submitted. --->>> why is the form displayed? from where you get the form? what happens next? what is the submission process? send form from one system to another... and what is the handler program/ job/ anything in the reciever system?
- We are using 3rd party Adobe forms. --->>> What does that mean? Not a SAP integration, no ADS etc.?
Please clarify and we can dscuss that further,
regards Otto

Clear form after CREATING record

Right now when I fill out a form then click the CREATE button, the record shows up in the report but it also remains in the form in "edit"mode.
What I want is after I click the CREATE button, the form clears and the CREATE button remains so I can add another record.

I don't want to clear it for the whole page because I have 2 regions on this page. One region has a report, the other region is the form. So, when I create the record in the form I want the report to populate, but I want just the form region to clear cache. So, how do I clear the cache for just a region, not a page.

Ipad form ....help needed please. Clear form after email as read only and sequential numbering

Hi
i am a complete novice at this however this is what I want to achieve.
i Have a paper duplicate report sheet that I want to get electronically, I want to be able to add sequential numbers to each report and be able to email the report to the client from a email field in the form
so far I have so I have created the pdf form, I have a button that runs a JavaScript that will hide the submit button and then send to the clients email and to bcc myself so I have a copy of the report also. This has been tested and works
i Am struggling with sequential numbering and once the form has been emailed it's un-ditable as the JavaScript has converted it to read only for emailing which is good as it can't be edited. But Is there a way on my submit button to email the report as read only and then clear all form fields in the report ready for filling with the next sequential number?
I Have had a good look sound for a resolution to this but am struggling
many thanks in advance for any feedback
paul

Hi Paul,
I presume that you are using the desktop version of Acrobat Pro to author the form.
I will move this discussion to the PDF Forms forum so that the experts in the forum can answer your question.
Please note that the Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.) have limited JavaScript support.
JavaScript for Reader Mobile API Reference (iOS)
You may be able to make the form work as you want in the desktop version of Adobe Reader/Acrobat Reader DC. However, some functionality (e.g adding a sequence number to each PDF) will not work in the mobile apps due to the limited JavaScript support. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Clearing Form after Error

Hi All,
The form I'm working after commit, the records don't disappear, whereas, now I want when there is error, then also the records must not be disappear. How do I display the records with just the error meassage, and also validate the item for right or wrong data entered.
Thanks In Advance, please reply, its' urgent...

Doing a commit does not clear the form. If the form is being cleared, then you need to look at the code to see where a clear_form is being executed (after the commit_form).
Once you find where it is occurring, you can write code to check for an error and display the error message before clearing the form.
If you need to validate the data before doing a commit, use a validate trigger on the item or block. The Help documentation provides examples.

Livecycle Designer 8 - Is it possible to have button to clear fields after user has clicked submit by email button so user can reuse form to send another response with different answers?

Users will use form to fill in stats for enquiries so they want to keep form open, complete a form, click button to submit by email, then click another button to clear form, form now ready to accept form's responses. They dont' want to keep opening form each time form needs to be completed.
Hope you help.
Thanks Sandra

Hi,
Thanks for your response, not sure what you mean by a loop. I put together
a draft form to show staff in our Knowledge Centre the sort of thing
Livecycle Designer can do.
(See attached file: Library Request Form_pub_0001.pdf)
They are currently writing out on form and manually putting into excel to
keep stats on the requests.
Due to current Global Financial Crisis my section does not want to spend
extra money at the moment seeking assistance from our tech heads. So we
are looking for least work no expense option for keeping stats. I am a PA
who just happens to have Livecycle program on my computer.
We use Lotus Notes so I thought the staff could save copy of Library
request form in the stationery folder. The staff using the form want to be
able to do the following:
1. open the Library request form at the beginning of the day;
2. when a request comes in, complete the form and click on Send by email
button
3. click on a Clear Data button to clear all data from all fields so the
form is open ready for when the next request comes in.
Staff are time poor and, as this is only one of their numerous duties, they
don't want to keep going to a location and opening a file which can be very
slow on some days
Each day form may be filled out by approximately 15 staff who may receive
anything from 0 - 4 requests a day.
I am not a tech head so script writing is a deep, dark mystery. Can you
help using the form above as an example for achieving step 3 above.
Thanks,
Sandra Smith

if i understand this correctly, you just want everything cleared whena
buttons is pressed?
you can either do it individually:
on button click:
mytextField.rawData=""
or do a loop, using child/paretns..

Unable to save a document after signing it in Adobe Acrobat Standard XI.

I have a user who is unable to save .PDF files that he is opening in Outlook via an embedded link in the email.
When he clicks on the link, Acrobat opens the document without issue. However, when he applies his signature and goes to save it over the existing document on our internal network file server, he gets the following message: "The document could be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk."
The network drive has a significant amount of space available, at least 500 gigs.
This was not an issue up until Friday of last week. Prior to Friday, he had no issue signing documents emailed to him that contained a embedded link pointing back to the file on our internal network file server. If I have him browse directly to the file in Windows Explorer however, he can open sign the document and overwrite the existing copy. While that works, I would like him to regain the ability to save his file after opening it from his email; as unless I show him how to get to the file directly via Explorer, he is unable to do so. (And he has to sign many documents a day as well)
Other users on my network are not encountering this issue, however some are running a different mix of Office and Acrobat. (Such as Office 2010 and Acrobat X, etc)
I've researched this issue for prior versions of Acrobat and tried to applied the same resolutions for this issue without a positive result. So far I have been unable to find any solutions for this issue dealing with XI.
Has anyone else run ino this issue with Acrobat Standard XI? If so what did you do to resolve the issue? Thank you for any help that you can give me.
Here is the basic setup that his computer is running:
Windows 7 Profesional 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Adobe Acrobat Standard XI
Internet Explorer 9
Also my user is has full Admin rights to his workstation and has the appropriate security rights to the folders he is trying to save the signed document to.

I would like to confirm the exact same message is happening with us.
Several users have been receiving the error message shown below when trying to save PDF’s to their desktop or other server.
We are experiencing the issue with earlier versions of Acrobat (8 & 9) as well.
This is only started happening this week?

IE error while submitting Adobe Form

Hi All,
I am facing an unusual problem while submitting Adobe form. When I try to submit Adobe form a dialog box will appear, which shows some missing dll information.
"sapadobecontrol.dll" and force me to close that dialog box which ultimately leads to closing the application.
Till now I have done several things like
1. Repair/upgrade the IE.
2. Modify/ repair Adobe Life Cycle Designer.
I am using Portal Sneak Preview 7.0
Please give your valuable views.
Regards,

I too am having the same issue. My process is also very simple, and I can't seem to find where I could have made a mistake.
I googled the error and found only one or two possible solutions that involved changing my data source. I don't think that is exactly the solution to either of our problems. It seems a bit complex for such simple workflows.

Problems printing a form with Adobe 8 Standard

I created a form using LifeCycle Forms ES and sent it out for use in our company.
I have received comments back from Adobe 8 Standard users that when they print the form the form rearranges itself. Has anyone ever run into this issue or know how to fix it?
Thanks!

This is basically the same question as : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5405961#5405961
You can only fill out the PDF forms in Adobe Reader, Adobe Acobat and Acrobat Mobile. Some browser will have Reader plug-ins which would allow you to fill out the form dirrectly in the browser but that is not guarenteed. This is a limitation from the browser (like Chrome) pdf capabilities (they just don't support all the PDF form's features and scripting).
You will not have the option to embed the form when it is an PDF imported into FormsCentral. This is a feature only available for forms's designed in FormsCentral (web forms).
We always suggest to people to have a button to download the PDF from their website (not embeded) and that they warn their fillers that they need to fill out the form using Adobe Reader, Acrobat or Acrobat Mobile

Form Wizard-Adobe X Standard

Does Adobe X standard have the Form Wizard that allows you to create a PDF form from scratch?

If you're asking about a form element that allows that, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006055?tstart=0
But it doesn't work with Reader: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823?tstart=0
If you're asking about editing the page contents in Acrobat to add an image, Standard is not as capable as Pro. The link to the Acrobat Standard online help should help.

Clearing the forms after default Save Button pressed

HI,
in forms 6i how to clear the form after the save button is pressed, ie the form uses default menu and smart bar. the user wants to clear the form once he selects save from the menu or after pressing the save icon...
any idea...?
regards
Kris

try on-commit trigger on form level through clear_form procedure but cursor remain stay on the same record
I think your requirement is that when user commits a record a new blank record appear so also add "create_record" procedure ;
.but u have to apply some logic on that trigger also it ever fires when user edit/insert/delete a record and commit;
Hope it clears now!

The "File Edit View Window Help" menu disappears after opening Adobe Acrobat X Standard

After installing Adobe Acrobat X Standard, when I run the program the "File Edit View Window Help" menu is visible for only a brief second then disappears. I tried to press F11 or other functions keys to bring it back. I also installed Adobe Acrobat X Pro which I also have a license for and it would do the exact same thing. Reinstalling the programs did not seem to resolve the problem. Is there an issue inside the registry?

Thank you for your comment. However, F9 does not seem to work.
When I press F9, the menu bar appears but the words "File Edit View Window Help" are still missing.
When I press F9 again the menu bar will close.
This is a screen capture before the words "File Edit View Window Help" disappear. After only about a second they are gone.
