Coldfusion:Acrobat buttons and fields

I've looked everywhere and can not find an answer to this.
I'm hoping that the vast brain trust in this "room" can help me.
Here is what I am doing...
I want to attach a .jpg of a signature to a form. Every form
is different as to where that location is BUT I have a form field
(fSignature) where that signature needs to go.
In Acrobat, using javascript, I am able to determine the
location of that text field and place the watermark there OR use a
button and replace the icon with the .jpg.
I really want to do this from ColdFusion, though. With CF8,
I can do a <cfpdf action="getinfo"> and a <cfpdfform
action="read"> to get information, but none of it tells me WHERE
the fields are. Nor can I find a CF8 function that allows me to
either put a .jpg in a text field (understandably) or change the
icon of a form button.
So, in summary, my questions are:
Does anyone know how to change the icon of a PDF Form button
from ColdFusion?
AND/OR
Does anyone know how to determine the field.rect of a form field
from ColdFusion?
(It is my fervent hope that this is a simple issue that has been
well documented and that I am just too blind to see it)

Thank you! That was the problem for me too.
(I did do a search before posting, honestly! Paul and I were using different vocabulary to describe the same problem, though)

  • Partial Submit button and fields resetting

    Hello
    I have a button with partialsubmit=true
    In the button's action listner event I open a popup and this popup contain RichInputText fields.
    Before open the popup I am reset all of these RichInputText values by
    this.geRichInputText1().resetValue();
    AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(this.geRichInputText1());But each time I open this popup I don't see these RichInputText figures are reset. It just show off what was in the previous.
    when button's partialsubmit=false, this works.
    Is there a way to reset with partialsubmit=true
    Thanks

    Try setting the contentDelivery property of your popup to "lazyUncached". Otherwise the content of the popup is cached by default.

  • Bizcard customization of ESS for buttons and fields

    Hi All,
    I have some queries on ESS Bizcard Customization of Family infotype:
    1. How to hide delete buttons for one subtype when it should not be hidden for the others.
    2. How to add extra fields for one subtpe while we do not need the extra fields for other subtypes
    Well the above customizations can be done through content administration, but then it will work when we know the exact number of records for each subtype. When the number of records changes the extra records will not have this customization.
    Eg: if we remove the delete buttons for 3 child records through content admin and create the fourth record, then the fourth record will have the delete button on it.
    Could you please let me know if you have any solutions
    This is crucial, so appreciate ur help
    Thanks,
    Christy

    Hi,
    Both the requirements can be achieve very easily, as said in the above to replyu2019s, yes you will need NWDS/I.
    Now how to achieveu2026.
    There is a property in WDP called u2018Visibleu2019, create a attribute and set its type to visible (com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility).
    Now assign the attribute to UI element visible property, write the required code say for ex, you donu2019t require any UI to be displayed for specific subtype, set attribute value to BLANK.
    You can get the code and type related details in SAP Help link.
    Cheers,

  • Problems with Flash CC user interface. Mainly I can't seem to click certain buttons and input fields on various modal windows. (eg. Scale and Rotate, Sound Properties,

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues like this. I'm basically finding that a bunch of different buttons, fields, and tabs do not respond to my clicks. This seems to be spread out throughout the application.
    I've had to work around most of this by using the tab and arrow keys to navigate around modal buttons and fields... but it is a bit of a pain.
    There are some parts of the interface that can't be accessed via tabs and arrow keys... for example the ActionScript Tab on the Sound Properties window... there's no way to get to that... and clicking the tab itself does nothing, although I can see that the rollover state of the tab is activated.
    I've ended up having to run Flash CS6 in order to set the export classes of sound files and that's a bigger pain.
    Similar UI issues exist with other things... for example the color picker (eye dropper) seems to pick colors near, but not directly under itself.
    I'll be honest... I'm running on Windows 7... via boot camp... on a Mac Book Pro with retina display... so the issues could stem from this combination. However... Flash CS6 does not have any of these issues... so I can only think that it is a Flash CC issue.
    I appreciate any input you can provide. ( Although the obvious "run it on OSX instead" or "just use CS6" aren't the kinds of answers I'm looking for. I have my reasons for the setup. )
    Thanks.
    Cheerfully,

    Thank you for the suggestion. I've just done the uninstall, clean, re-install process.
    No luck.
    Even the first-run modal that comes up to choose Sync Settings has the same problem. All three buttons will go to a rollover state if I mouse over them... however, none of them are clickable. The only clickable item is the OS window close button. If I use the TAB key to move from button to button it moves the yellow button selector accordingly. If I press the ENTER key it responds correctly. For some reason clicking is not working on these parts of the Flash CC UI.
    *Note: This does not happen with all of the Flash CC UI elements... only some key ones (Save As - Confirm Overwrite, Symbol Properties and Swap Symbol dialog boxes also do not work with clicks, only with the keyboard navigation). Really a pain in the posterior.
    Again, I'm wondering if this is an issue particular to my hardware/os combination but I have had no luck finding answers online.
    Any other possible solutions out there?

  • All display's active buttons or fields are being marked consequently by a blue square

    All my iPad Air display's active buttons and fields are being permanently marked one after another by a blue square. This square appeared suddenly, no application was installed on the day when it happened. I've rebooted the  iPad and updated the software to the latest version, but it didn't help.
    I kindly ask for the suggestions on fixing this unusual iPad error. if needed, I could send a video on this problem.

    I Thought you meant you could upload it here or upload it to YouTube and post the link here.
    IF you can't do that, can you post a screenshot here? Hold the power button down and then tap the home button to take a screen shot. You will hear the camera shutter sound, the screen will flash white and the screenshot will appear in the photos app. You can tap the camera icon in the editing bar in the text block that you type your response in and then select the option to use an existing photo.

  • Problem with Buttons/Form Fields in Acrobat PDF when created in InDesign CS4

    So I have been working for quite some time on an interactive form for an internal client at my job. It has two major components, one is the side bar navigation, which I created using buttons in InDesign which link to bookmarks in the document. The second aspect is that I also created "check boxes" accoring to this video: http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/cs4/articles/lrvid4434_ds.html
    I have two major issues:
    1. Whenever I try to convert my boxes to form fields in Acrobat it will not recognize them unless I save out 4 pages at a time (rather than the whole document).
    2. I then have to combine the document and get multiple sets of bookmarks, and some bookamrks are corrupted (not working properly). Even when I try to convert the whole document some of the buttons are corrupted.
    UGH tired of this project, I am really bastardizing the whole thing to get it done, but want to figure out the problem as this is an ongoing document that we will be using over and over again in future years.
    I am attaching the pdf file--this is a pieced together one (saved out 4 pages at a time) (which I did do some fixes to to get buttons to go to proper locations) and the original indesign file (partial file due to size).
    PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!

    Acrobat's Form Wizard is good but not perfect when creating form data from a PDF. I have never encountered Acrobat not able to finish the process of creating all form fields, but have encountered very slugish performance afterwards when there was a lot of forms, buttons, and other elements within the pages. And I would say, from your attached PDF, it is pretty heavy with content. I am going to suggest an idea, but I have not tested this to see if it would work.
    In InDesign, create a layer for your navigation tabs, and a layer for your text with the check boxes. Create two PDFs from ID, one PDF with just your-nav tabs, the second with just your text with check boxes. In Acrobat, perform the Form Wizard on the second PDF and see if this will finish, the idea here is to reduce the cllutter for the Form Wizard to finish. If it does, you can merge the first PDF as a layer with the second to have a completed document. Again, I have not tested this theory.

  • Make a read-only text field open by using button and javascript

    Hello
    I have a form with text fields that I will pre-populate with data. The text fields will be read-only by default. I want to make it so that when a user wants to make edits, he will need to click on a button and in turn, the text field's background will turn gray and he can make edits to the text field. I can already make the background turn gray but I cannot make the text field open.
    This is the code that will run after the button is clicked:
    color.ltGray = new Array("G", 0.75);
    this.getField('TestField').fillColor = color.ltGray;
    this.getField('TestField').access = "open";
    The text field's background turns gray but it is still read-only. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's the online version of the Acrobat JavaSript documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhel p.htm?href=JavaScript_SectionPage.70.1.html&accessible=true
    It's also available as a PDF in the Acrobat SDK.
    Regarding your other question about adding a PDF to another, do you want to add it as an attachment, or add the pages from one PDF to another?

  • Upgraded to Acrobat X and signature field stop working

    Upgraded to Acrobat X and IntegriSign signature field stop working.  When I open the pdf and click on the signature field I get a "This plug-in is intended for validating signatures signed using earlier versions of Acrobat.  To sign using this version of Acrobat, use "IntegriSign for Acrobat 9.0 and later" handler.

  • How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window.  How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.
    In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.
    In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.
    Eg:
    On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2  value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:
    if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){
    else...{
    Hope this helps you.

    Hi,
    There are multiple aspects of your requirements. So let's take them one at a time.
    You can achieve it in the report program or you can use a combination of the both along.
    You can create a standalone report program using the ABAP Editor (SE38). In the report program you can call the SAP Module pool program by CALL Screen <screen number>. And then in the module pool program you an create a subscreen and can handle the window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting the text.
    For help - Module Pool programs you can search in ABAP Editor with DEMODYNPRO* and you will ge the entire demo code for all dialog related code.
    For Report and other Module pool help you can have a look at the following:

  • Adobe Acrobat as a server to create PDF using PDF templates and field values

    I'm writing a web page to create a PDF using fields that we ask for them in the screen.
    My idea is:
    1. Ask for field values (text values and a photo) in my web
    2. Run Adobe Acrobat to load a PDF template (PDF form) and mix with the field values
    3. Create a final PDF mixing values and template
    4. Show to document to the user in his client web browser. I guess the only way to do that is to create the PDF on a server with Adobe Acrobat Pro and send to the user browser a JPEG that will represent the  PDF: If I do this operation in the PDF visor at the client browser, the problem is that it will will be mandatory to install Adobe Acrobat in each cliente because only this visor can manage javascript.
    Can you tell me if this idea is correct? It is possible to use Adobe Acrobat on a Server to create PDF when some proccess needs?

    and what other Adobe product o procedure can we use to do that?
    I only need to create a PDF mixing PDF Templete, field values and javascript.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do you highlight iHelp Buttons and List Applet fields

    How do you highlight iHelp Buttons and List Applet fields? I've followed all the steps in the Bookshelf but it seems like buttons and list applet fields do not highlight. The highlight feature only seems to work in form applets. Is this a known issue? Are there workarounds for this?
    Thanks
    Bernhard
    Edited by: Bernhard on Dec 12, 2011 2:06 PM

    Bernhard
    I remember that colors of single list applet fields cannot be changed, since the whole list is regarded as one "control" itself. It works for single fields in form applets (as you said) but not in list applets. There is a document in MyOracleSupport pointing this out, but at the moment I can't find it.
    Regarding iHelp Buttons I have no idea.

  • How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

    You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
    Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
    or
    event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ",  this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
    If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
    The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
    There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.
