Copy/paste of multiple fields in form to eg. Wordpad

Does anyone know if it is possible to mark more than one screen field in a form so that ctrl-C ctrl-V can be used to copy all the information in one single operation to a text editor outside the Forms environment.

Not with Copy Paste - however the normal way of doing this kind of thing is to write some kind of Export Function which writes the data in all the fields into a suitable file - usually something line a CSV file using Text_IO.

  • Copy text from multiple fields to one field

    I would like to copy text from multiple fields into one field. Each of these smaller fields will only be allowed to have one character. The larger field will not be able to be edited.
    So far, I have thought of creating a naming heirarchy for these fields. I was going to then call upon the array of the parent and set the value of the parent to equal this array.
    var parent = this.getField("everything");
    var array = everything.getArray();
    var v;
    for(parent=0; parent<array.length; parent++)
    v = a + " " + v;               //Im guessing this line is incorrect
    parent.value = a;
    Any suggestions? or a better way of doing this.
    Thanks

    The code sample you provided is using AcroForm scripting and will not work in this form. There is another post similar to this one...have a look at this one it might help you out. It is doing the opposite of what you want but the concept of the loop and how each field is addressed inside ofthe loop is what you wil need.

  • Unable to paste to multiple fields in infopath 2010

    Hello all,
          I have been pounding my head against a lot of other sites to see if I can find the answer to this question. MY company has created a sharepoint for the sales team and in that SP they have created info path documents that contain
    "packages". In the packages they have multiple fields like drop down boxes, text boxes, etc. The document comes with the ability to copy all the fields in one fell swoop and, in some cases, allows you to paste those fields in a newly created package.
    All computers are up to date including the SP 2010 server. We are running Windows 7 64bit OS as well as Windows 8.1. This does not affect all machines. Only three so far.

    Hi JimRHunter,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy InfoPath forms with multiple fields form from one library to aother library.
    How did you do for the copy ability in the packages library?
    For implementing your requirement , you can try to add a workflow in the packages library, the workflow contains the ‘Copy ListItem’ action. In the action, you can set it to copy current item to the goal libray. About this workflow, you can start it when
    a new item is created or when  an item is changed, and you can also set it to start manually. Once you start the workflow, the item will be copied to the goal library. Please have a try.
    The workflow is like:
    I hope this helps.

  • Numbers: Copy/Paste from multiple tables into 1 single Table?

    I would appreciate some guidance in creating a copy/paste script from multiple numbers tables into a different single table within the same numbers document.
    The columns in the source table are in different positions to the destination table.
    So for example, i would want to copy…
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell A3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell B2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell B3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell C2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell C3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell E2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell D3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell F2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell E3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell G2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell G3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell I2
    Sheet 1, Table 1 Cell J3  copy to Sheet 2 Table Z Cell H2
    and repeat the copy/paste on subsequent rows of each table until there is an empty row in Sheet 1 Table 1 (or if this is difficult, say set the repeat to a max of 30 rows).
    The script would then need to move on to Sheet 1 Table 2, and do the same copying to Sheet 2 Table Z (from where the previous copy/paste finished in Table Z).
    Repeat process would finalise with Sheet 1 Table 6.
    The Paste part would need to be pasting values, as the cells in the source tables do contain some formulas.
    At the moment this is all done manually and does take some to to undertake.
    If anyone can help, i would be very grateful.
    Thanks,
    Colin

    Interceptor,
    are you trying to aggregate data from severl tables into a single table?  If so you whould be able to do this without a script.  The function indirect() will allow you to construct the proper formula, which you may fill over (in the same row) to the appropriate cells, then fill down.
    Here is a small example:
    There are three data tables ("Table 1", "Table 2", and "Table 3").  And a summary "Table Z"
    In table Z make the first row a header (as shown):
    Use column A to enter the Sheet name and colomn B to enter the table name.
    In row 1 (the header), enter the cells you want to get
    in cell C2 type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
    =INDIRECT($A2&"::"&$B2&"::"&C$1)
    now select cell C2, copy now select cell C2 thru H2, paste
    now select the cells C2 thu H2, hover the corsor over the bottom edge of the selection, and drag the yellow cirlc down as needed to fill the formula down.
    Update the sheet and table names as needed for each row

  • Problem with copy/paste into WYSIWYG field?

    In using Robo HTML X5 my helpfile design is a simple one, but
    one issue is stumping me.
    -From the TOC tab I will create a new topic, and then edit
    the WYSIWYG field on the right, insert graphics, etc. But if I cut
    and paste from Word 2003 into the WYSIWYG topic field, all
    formatting like bold letting is stripped out, along with graphics.
    The graphics have to be cut and pasted individually and I manually
    have to reformat the text.
    Does anyone know why a copy/paste into the WYSIWYG field is
    being stripped of formatting somehow? Is there simple project
    setting somewhere?

    Hi reiver12367 and welcome to our community
    Trust me on this. Mixing Word and RoboHelp HTML are like
    mixing oil and water. You really don't want to go down any road
    where formatting is maintained during a copy/paste operation.
    You might see better results by right clicking the folder
    (inside RoboHelp HTML) where you want the topic to be, then
    selecting Import. From there, choose the Word document file type
    from the drop-down on the bottom of the dialog, navigate to and
    choose your Word document. You will have a couple of dialogs to
    deal with and the stuff should import in.
    Personally, I even avoid going that route if I can. I instead
    opt for saving the Word document as pure ASCII text. Then creating
    a new topic and copy/pasting the text into the topic. From there I
    format as needed.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Copying data to multiple fields

    I have a number of forms which have been created in Acrobat 8 Professional using the Acrobat tools (not LiveCycle) where I need data entered in one field to copy to another. Usually this data is text. I have used the following Javascript in the Calculate tab in field properties:
    event.value = this.getField("SOURCE FIELD").value;
    In order to allow for a single point of data entry, the fields to which the data is copied are locked and flagged as read only. Most of the time this works, however I have been getting multiple support calls where the forms fail to follow the script. I've tried many options including PDF optimization. I've ensured that users are using the same version of Acrobat Reader (8.1.2).
    Is there a better way to accomplish this task?
    Is there something wrong with the JavaScript?
    I'm not very sophisticated with Javascript and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

    There is a user preference that controls whether automatic calculations are performed. Perhaps some users have turned this off. The most likely possibility is the field calculation order is not correct.
    If you've checked both of those things and it still doesn't work, can you give an example of some text that this doesn't work with?
    A different approach that avoids these issues is instead of setting up a custom calculation script in the read-only field, you can use something like the following in the Validate script of the text entry field:
    getField("destination_field").value = event.value;
    This way it will work if automatic calculations are turned off, and the calculation order doesn't come into play.

  • ICal bug: cannot copy/paste into location field of exchange 2007 calendar

    when you copy text from any application (cmd C) and then try to paste it into de location field of a new or existing appointment of a calendar synchronizing with an exchange 2007 account in iCal 4.0, then .... well nothing happens. You can paste it in a subject or a notes field but not in de location field.

    My experience as well (hooked into google calendar), and a frustrating one. I assume this is related in some way to the "yellow exclamation point in edit mode - can only select entire block"? I see that normal "on my mac" calendar locations don't have the yellow exclamation point, and I can select any portion of the text. What's up with this? Is iCal suggesting that google's "Where" field is incompatible somehow? Yet there seems to be no trouble exchanging data between the two...

  • How to disable Copy/Paste to a field in Siebel 7.8

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there a way to disable paste into a certain field in Siebel 7.8?There is a way to do that in normal HTML but is it possible in Siebel.

    One option that comes to mind is to intercept the HTML that is generated for the field on the applet and append to it with the HTML/Javascript that would prevent the pasting.
    For example on the login applet we put some code in capture the enter key since it did not work out of the box.
         if (ControlName == "Password" && Property == "FormattedHtml")
              //onkeypress='JavaScript:null'
              var iOnKeyPressLoc = HTML.indexOf("onkeypress='JavaScript:null'");
              if (iOnKeyPressLoc > 0)
                   //.... REMOVED FOR DISPLAY ....               
                   HTML = sLeftHTML + " " + sMidHTML + " " + sRightHTML;
         }

  • How do I move multiple fields from the end of the document to another section?

    For some reason when I click Cntrl+V, it pastes the multiple fields at the end of my form rather than at the point of paste within the document.

    Select all of the fields that you wish to copy then use Ctrl-C.  Scroll to the part of the form where you want to paste the copied fields.  Select the field that you want the paste to occur after (ie, the pasted fields will appear after/below the selected field) and use Ctrl-V.

  • Can you copy multiple fields in a pdf form and paste them elsewhere?

    I have created forms in Adobe Standard 9 and have posted them on our company intranet for users to access. All the forms work well, but one group would like to be able to copy and paste the form data into our call tracking software for future reference. It can be achieved now by copying and pasting each field one at a time. My question is there a way to copy more than one field at a time and paste the data elsewhere as even simple text, no font recognition required.
    Kerry N

    Thanx graffiti, you're right that Adobe 9 Standard had that option and it saves it as a seperate .txt file. and you can cut and paste from there. What I was hoping for was a Reader 7, 8 or 9 copy and paste solution, like the Adode version of "shift + c" to choose and add individual cells in Excel.
    Any tricks of shortcuts would be appreciated.

  • Fields multiple copy / Paste

    Hi Experts,
    one of the requirements i have in my project is to have multiple copy paste from an Excel sheet to
    a web dynpro form we have. Basically the user select multiple cells in excel and paste them in the WDA form.
    Your opinion is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Abdul.

    HI
    As abhimanyu pointed out that there is no API to catch the clipboard data.
    the FM which are availabale in GUI for copy paste clipboard data also don't work in web page.
    so if you want to have it at any cost, only solution will be some work around.
    create a text edit and paste the data there using CTRL+V and then read it from there.
    using the string operations to seperate and then fill the fields.
    thanks

  • Update pages in form by import then copy/paste

    I have inherited a dynamic interactive PDF. Essentially what they did was take multiple pdfs and put them in one, visually shown below.
    form1.pdf, 1 page-----
    |
    form2.pdf, 2 pages----
    |---------> formall.pdf
    form3.pdf, 4 pages----
    |
    form4.pdf, 3 pages----
    |
    etc...----------------
    Well now they have made massive changes to form2.pdf and form4.pdf and I am supposed to update formall.pdf.
    Is there any way to pull NewForm2.pdf into the existing formall.pdf, and then copy/paste the fields from the current form2 in formall.pdf onto the new one, then delete the old form2 pages?
    The changes in NewForm2 are extensive and it would take quite a while to just redo form2 inside formall.
    I do not think they thought about updates when they created formall.pdf. I would like to separate the forms and use something like Forms Server, or even add each form into a library where I could add the new version and create a new formall, but I do not have time.
    The only tools I have are LiveCycle Designer 7 and Adobe Reader 7.05. I do NOT have Acrobat.
    I have seen several posts about inserting pdfs from Designer into Acrobat to update, but not inserting pdfs into Designer to update.
    I tried importing NewForm2.pdf into Designer with formall.pdf already open, but it always creates a completely new form.
    Thanks

    I exported a PDF from Pages v5.2.2. This uses Apple's Quartz PDFContext, not Quark.
    In Windows 7, I opened this PDF with Adobe Acrobat Reader v11.0.09. I then copied/pasted a paragraph of this PDF content into LibreOffice Writer (v4.3.2.2). Since there was Baskerville in Windows 7, this comment pasted correctly including font-size. I did not have to make any adjustments to LO to accept this text.
    On Ubuntu Linux 14.04, with the latest updates, I opened the same PDF in Evince, the default PDF viewer. Adobe does not offer an Acrobat Reader download for Linux. Again, I copied and pasted a paragraph of content from the PDF viewer into LibreOffice Writer. As there was no Baskerville installed, Writer defaulted to the Liberation font, at the correct point size.
    In either of these platform scenarios, there were no anomalies with sentence/paragraph newlines .vs. carriage return issues from the PDF document during copy/paste operations. These were default control-v pastes that did not use the Paste Special menu item in LibreOffice.

  • Selecting Multiple fields from fillable form in Adobe Reader

    I created a form in Adobe Pro, and want to be able to select multiple fields to cut and paste the results in other parts of the form.
    Does anyone know of a way to do this?
    I would appreciate any help! Thankyou

    Go to Form Edit mode, and then you can select multiple fields either in the Fields list, or on the page itself (using Ctrl), or by holding down the mouse and dragging the selection square over them. Then just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the other page, and you'll get copies.
    Edit: This can only be done in Acrobat, though. Your title talks about Reader but you post is about Acrobat...

  • Copy/Paste more than 64K from Excel to Oracle Forms

    We need to copy from Excel more than 64K of data into Oracle Forms 10g. After the copy/paste action. The data will be split and saved in the database. The data contains 6000 fields of each 14 characters.
    What we tried: Create a Long field in forms (maximum size 64K) and process the data which is in this field. But by using PLSQL the maximum size is only 32K. So currently we can only copy and process 32K at a time.
    Is there a way to process over 64K from an excelsheet via Oracle Forms 10g R2?
    Can it be done via Java and how?
    Is it possible to read the clipboard in parts of 30K blocks and paste it in the Long field block with multirecords?
    Restrictions:
    We are not allowed to do file upload and process it on the server side.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello,
    In the form, you can use Text Items that have datatype as long, so you can strore 64K.
    I do not understand the problem with the PL/SQL, because you can pass 32Ko chunks as many as needed.

  • How to copy paste a table structure from word document into Text Field [field format Rich Text]

    In our current implementation we have a Blank page with Text Field [field format Rich Text] on generated PDF Document.
    Once the PDF document is generated, user can copy paste content form any word/rtf document to into the Text Field.
    Pasted content retains all text formatting [Bold, Italic, Underline, Indentation] except the Table format. Text Field is removing table metadata from the content and converting it into plant text.
    Is there anyway to copy paste table structure as it is from word document into Text Field?

    Hi,
    I don't think you can! While you can paste formatted text into the rich text field, the table metadata means nothing to the textfield.
