Completion certificate that autofills name and date?

I need to make a certificate for the end of the class that will put in the current date and student name automatically. I've been round and round trying to figure something out.
The certificate widget is almost useless. It won't let me change anything and just doesn't fit our needs at all.
The student needs to print a hard copy when done.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi there
And this is why Learning Management Systems are popular. Think it through. If they can navigate back a slide and you manage to stop that, what's to stop them from simply reloading the lesson and working their way back to the slide again? I suppose some randomization of slides and question pools might help that case.
To prevent returning to the "gather the name" slide, you might use a variable to track the number of times the page has been presented. If greater than one, hide the Text Entry Box and present a hidden caption with the existing name. (using the variable)
Cheers... Rick

Custom's certificate in Captivate with learner's name and date

Hi,
is it possible to create a learner’s course certificate for printing (PDF) without using a LMS? I thought of a javascript running at end of the course. At the beginning of the course the learner would have to be asked to enter his name and date.
Shall it be feasible to generate such a certificate in CP (without using a LMS)? May you help me to get it done?
I really appreciate your help.
Best regards
Philipp

This might get you started.

You would also need some JavaScript to write the query strings to the URL.

Require name and date before printing form

I have a 13 page PDF that a customer or our staff prints from our website. Often the customer or staff does not name and date each page of the form. Not having a name and date on each page of the form causes problems when they customer returns the form to the office, and the form pack gets divided for scanning into different areas of the customer file. 1) Is there an Adobe product that changes a PDF to require the downloader of the form to place a first and last name in the name field before printing. 2) Also, I would need a date stamp placed on the form when it prints. Is there I product that could help me program this PDF to do these 2 things? This post is the first time I can recall posting in this community. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

>> 1) Is there an Adobe product that changes a PDF to require the downloader of the form to place a first and last name in the name field before printing.
Many fields have a "Required" property. This is used when a form is submitted to a scripted web page for processing to throw an error message if any required fields are not completed.
One can use this property within a an action for a form to check if required fields are competed.
>> 2) Also, I would need a date stamp placed on the form when it prints.
I would add a form field that is filled in with the print date and time by some JavaScript in the Will Print action.

Reading MS Project column names and data on the fly from a selected View

Hi guys,
I have several views on my project file (MSPROJECT 2010) and I want to build a macro so that;
1. User can select any view ( Views can have diffrent columns and the user may add new columns as well)
2. User runs the Macro and all the coulmns along with the tasks displayed in the view will be written to a excel file. ( I don't want to build several macro's for each view, I'm thinking of a common method which would work for any selected view)
The problem I'm facing is that how will i read the column names and data for a particular view on the fly without hard coding them inside the vba code ?
The solution needs to work on a master schedule as well.
Appreciate your feedback.

Just to get you started the following code writes the field name and data for the active task to the Immediate window.
Sub CopyData()
Dim fld As TableField
For Each fld In ActiveProject.TaskTables(ActiveProject.CurrentTable).TableFields
If fld.Field >= 0 Then
Debug.Print Application.FieldConstantToFieldName(fld.Field), ActiveCell.Task.GetField(fld.Field)
End If
Next fld
End Sub

Pdf portfolio source file name and date in file details

Is it possible to import the source file name and extension as well as the source file created date in the portfolio file details? Need to document source to portfolio in working with 3rd parties that will only have the original source. Need to document what was converted into pdf as not all files in a directory will successfully convert to pdf. Sometimes need to convert 100's of files. Manual entry is inefficient. the file names and modified dates are displayed on the Combine Files dialog. is there a way to capture the detail on that page?

I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio. I
need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
created date of that file for control of information.
That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

File name and Date Display as an obj not the data

All,
     The issue that I am having is that when I view a Visio file hosted on SharePoint. The file was created in Visio 2007 and when it is opened by Visio 2007 and Visio Viewer in SharePoint. The file name field object and date
modified object show the information. The issue is when the file is opened by a device that has Visio 2010 the information does not show. Is there something that I can do for these users to have it show correctly.

Hi，
Which way did you open the Visio 2007 file in SharePoint？Opened it in the browser or downloaded it to open？ I had test in my environment. Insert a text box>Add a data/time field, it worked fine both in Visio 2007, 2010.
Thus, let‘s do some test to narrow down the issue’s reason.
1.Download the Visio 2007 file and open it with Visio 2010.
If it worked fine, the issue seems more related to Visio object and sharePoint connection.
If it does not display the information in Visio 2010 by a device client, the issue was more related to Visio 2010 client.
2.Create a new drawing included file name and Date
field in Visio 2010.
If the new drawing displays correct, the issue is more related the original, please try to repair the file or re-create the file name and Date filed.
If the new drawing still displays incorrect, please try to start Visio 2010 in safemode, some third-party add-ins my be casued the issue.
If the issue still exists, try to repair Visio 2010.

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet?

Is it possible to enter events into a specific iCal calendar, then print a list of those events with the name and date on a single sheet? I don't need the calendar grid. I just want a list of events on a particular calendar, and their dates. Is that possible?

Not easily. Two possibilities:
1) If all the events have some common feature (eg you have included "XXX" in all the summaries), search for that feature then select and copy the found items at the bottom of the window. You can then paste them into TextEdit or a spreadsheet for printing
2) You could write an Applescript to locate the events and write them into a text file for printing.
The first one will probably give you what you want.

Repeating User input (such as name and date) on each page automatically

Is there a way of having the information provided by the user on one page, such as name and date, automatically repeated on separate pages (perhaps as a header/footer.) The input would be via Reader only.
I have an application form of four pages, after the first page there is no direct unique evidence linking the remaining pages to the first.
Basically I want each page when printed to have an identifier, so that in the event of the pages getting mixed up, they can be put back together.
Any advice gratefully accepted

Hi,
you can sole your problem with many way...
- You can use Global binding, so user nter data one time and every field with the same name automaticaly get the same value.
- You can use some Javascritp to obtain similar effects (more complicated but more fexible):
Create a Js Object (name it Global for Example).
Create some variables, i.e.: var field1;
Place one field in master pages and in their initialize event use the statement below:
Global.field1 = this;
In this way you obtayn a refernce that you can use everywhere in your form.
For example you can write: Global.field1.rawValue = "Hello word";
I hope this helps :-)
Bye.
Roberto.

Collage Screensaver - names and dates don't show up

In the collage setting of Screensaver, the photo dates and names don't show up, even though I selected the option to include them. I could not figure this out, so took it to the Genius Bar. After about 20 minutes of trying this and that, he rebuilt the cache, and voila - the names and dates were there. I shut it off, took it home, turned in on - same problem. So I rebuilt the thumbnails. Nothing. Cannot get the names and dates to show. Seems like a silly little problem, but I love the collage; and when the pictures come up, I'd like to be reminded of what year they were taken!
Thank you if you've had this problem and figured it out!

Went back to the Genius Bar today, and he reinstalled Leopard. That did it! Thanks to my Genius for not making me feel silly for caring so much about a label for my pictures!

How to print file name and date on document

Not the print dialog for iWork but in the app itself. Here is Pages:

If it's asking you confirm anything or in any way provide personal information, then yes, it's almost certainly a scam. See:

Just delete the message; do not reply to it or provide any sort of personal information through any of the links in the email. You can sign into your iTunes Store account directly through iTunes and confirm that nothing has changed.

Printing FILE NAME and DATE PRINTED?

when i was on a mac i used to be able to have a default in the printer dialog so that every page printed showed the file name and the data printed. i would like to do this in the mac but i am guessing that this has to be done in either the specialized software dialog box or perhaps in a mac dialog box?
in any event, can anyone help me figure out where i might find a place to do this? i haveadobe acrobat but i wold also like to do it in something like Preview as well.
TIA

Consider using Find from the File menu or Spotlight to search for the document. In one of your previous posts, you stated that you name documents with a date and name. Then perhaps search for the name. Also, with your method of naming documents, if the document is a letter, wouldn't the date on the letter and the person to whom the letter is addressed to give clues to the filename and thus finding it on your computer?
this is a major organizational issue over here and customizing a template for all my various software should be unnecessary IMHO.
I do not know how many documents you deal with but I do know that there a many organizations that deal with billions of documents. In addition, if you share documents with others or others with you, there is not a filenaming method that works for everyone. People adapt to each other. A date in a filename could have several forms such as month-date-year or year-month-date, two digits or four digits for year and so on and so forth.
Are you saying it IS necessary to have this dual file type that has a Pages document which then prints a PDF?
No. Please re-read what I wrote and the Pages Help Center articles.
also, is there in fact a way to save a PDF back out as a Pages document?
Yes, re-read what I wrote (that which you quoted).
"Acrobat has the capability to save a PDF in other formats such as Microsoft Word, which can be opened in Pages. That said IMO, a separate Pages document for each "custom" letter/report would not be necessary."
alternatively i guess i could create a Pages TEMPLATE - that has a DATE in the header that automatically updates .../but/ i am realizing that this has the unfortunate consequence of having the DATE updated if i open the Pages document again
But that is what you stated you wanted because
...and try to remember to SAVE AS this document with another name with the original FILE NAME but a NEW DATE. this does not always work and sometimes i write over the original accidentally.
anyway, maybe the answer here is to create a Template for any new document type and simply use this template any time i need to create a PDF and then not save or delete the original Pages document but this seems a bit hairy and dangerous in terms of possibly losing a file if i forget to print to PDF or something.
You have redundant backups, yes?
It seems that your understanding of a template is different from what it actually is, its purpose and its use. If you have not already done so, try using one of the included Pages templates to create a document that you would reuse to get a better understanding of how it works and to help determine your workflow. What you wrote in the last post seems to be a lot of what ifs but not hands on experience with the software itself. My response was based on my experience of using many types of software and in particular to your questions, Pages and Acrobat. Perhaps you will find better responses in the Pages forum and for Acrobat there is a forum at the Adobe web site.
is there a lock file functionality in Pages in Mountain Lion or was this in Lion?!
Perhaps reviewing the tutorials for Pages or searching with Google would help answer many of your questions.
