Create stamp with empty textfield

I want to create a dynamic stamp with an empty textfield.
After placing the stamp on a drawing I want to be able to type a random text in the textfield.
Can anyone help me?

That's not possible, I'm afraid.
Once a stamp has been applied it is flattened and can't be edited anymore, including any form fields in it.
What you can do, however, is prompt the user to enter the text into a response box, and then populate the text field into the stamp just before it is applied.
Have a look at this tutorial to see how it's done: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/02/dynamic_stamp_secrets

  • How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record?

    I would like to use a popup to create new record.
    I created a af:popup by drag and drop a VO from data control to jsff. then, I created a button and place a af:showPopupBehavior. I was able to popup window by click the button.
    however, the window filled with the information from the 1st record. and when I select a record in table and click popup, the popup is filled with that record.
    How can I make the popup with empty fileds and create new record by saving the popup?
    Thanks

    You can have edit and new buttons, in the PopupFetchEvent identify button source (using popupFetchEvent.getLaunchSourceClientId()) if new button clicked clear the binding using below code.
    If you want to see empty fields, in the popup PopupFetchEvent clear the input component bindings.
    resetBindingValue("#{bindings.<componentid>.inputValue}", null);
        public static void resetBindingValue(String expression, Object newValue) {
            FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application app = ctx.getApplication();
            ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
            ELContext elContext = ctx.getELContext();
            ValueExpression valueExp = elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext,expression,Object.class);
            Class bindClass = valueExp.getType(elContext);
            valueExp.setValue(elContext,newValue);
        }

  • How to display a JClient LOV with a empty textfield at startup?

    Hi,
    we develop an application using JClient to connect a swing client to a bc4j middletier. In one special form consisting of three LOVs (3x label,textfield,button ->LovBinding) we want two of the LOVs to display a empty textfield when the form is opened the first time. The standard LovBinding shows the first row of the corresponding viewobject initially, pretending that the user already has chosen a value. Is there an (easy) way to override this behaviour?
    And what to do in the following scenario:
    The user chooses a value from a LOV, that value is displayed in the textfield. Now the user changes his mind and wants to be the LOV-textfield empty again. Currently there's no solution for this.
    We can think of several workarounds, but none of them seems to be a good solution...
    Any ideas for that?
    Thanks,
    Torsten

    Sorry, I try to be a bit more precise:
    It's not clear whether you want the "Lov dialog" to show no selection on startup or the form that uses the LOV to display nothing in the "textField" on >startup?
    Could you elaborate on this? A simple scenario may help. It's NOT the Lov dialog that should show no selection on startup. I wanted the textfield to display nothing, until I press the button which invokes the Lov dialog. The lov dialog allows me to select something and after pressing ok in the lov dialog I see me selection in the textfield.
    The scenario is the following:
    Imagine a form showing a combobox which allows the select a special type of value, does not matter. Additionally you have a lov combination consisting of a textfield and a button. The textfield should display a lookup value which can be selected via a lov dialog, which is invoked by the button.
    And you have a "calculate" button, which has no binding. This "calculate" button runs some kind of code that takes the value of the combobox and the value of the lov's textfield (if a value was chosen) and does something.
    The problem is the "if a value was chosen". I like to see an empty lov's textfield to indicate that nothing has been chosen solong. If I press the "calculate" button after choosing a value in the combobox and having nothing in the lov's textfield, the lov's textfield should be ignored by the following method.
    Again, if you are using JComboBox/JListBox for Lov, then the default windows key to clean selection is Ctrl+(Mouseclick on the selected row)
    If you want to display/allow no selection in the JULovButtonBinding's LovDialog, you pretty much have to do this by providing a custom LovPanel instead of >using the default one and implement the "no-selection" logic there.
    And in case of no-selection, set the currency on the LovRSI to no row (call reset()). Are there more shortcuts like Ctrl+MouseClick in JClient?
    Ok, what I intended was the following:
    We have the scenario described above. The user selects a combobox value, then opens the lov dialog by pressing the button, chooses some value and presses ok in the lov dialog. Now he sees his selection in the lov's textfield. But: he changes his mind and thinks it would be better to reset the lov's textfield to the empty state, before pressing the "calculate" button. Because there is no kind of reset for the lov's textfield, the user has no chance to do what he wants.
    Question is, can you think of an elegant way to solve this problem?

  • Bug report: Naming a Bin after creating it with drag'n'drop

    There seems to be a small bug when giving a newly created bin a name after creating it by drag'n'drop of several clips onto the "New Bin" icon. 
    To reproduce:
    Select some clips in your project browser
    Drag them onto the New Bin button
    A new bin is created with the clips in it
    - the bin name for it appears to be selected, and editable - just as if you had created a new empty bin by clicking the New Bin button
    - type in a new name - it accepts the name fine, now press enter.
    - your new name disappears, and *now* you are really in the mode to edit the bin name
    - type your name again, and it works.
    Work around:
    When creating new bins by using drag'n'drop of clips onto the New Bin button, first press enter once to enter into the proper edit mode before giving the bin a new name.
    (is there a better place to file bug reports?)

  • Aperture keeps creating a new empty library in my Pictures folder

    Hi, I am a noob with Aperture, so forgive me if this seems like a stupid question. I have searched through the manual, threads here and Apples help pages but have not found my problem described or my question addressed.
    First the problem:
    I have set preferences in Aperture to set up and point to the Library on my External Firewire Drive. I exited as instructed and went back in the program and my new library came up without issue. I was able to import files from camera, iphoto, and some from files relatively easily and created new projects for them w/o much trouble. I closed the program and did not use it until the next day.
    When I opened the Aperture from the dock the next day, a BLANK library greeted me pointing to my picture folder of my Mac user account. Sure enough I opened my pictures folder under my user account on the finder and there is a brand new Aperture library without any files in it. I checked my Firewire hard drive and (thankfully) the Aperture library I created there is still intact. When I clicked on the aperture library icon in my firewire drive, the program opened with my library listed. I then closed it, opened Aperture from the dock again and it opened to my firewire's drive library again...
    So now I'm thinking this must have been a weird glitch. I deleted the Aperture library in my pictures folder on my user account and thought that would be that as the program continued to perform well all day...opening my created library when I opened from the dock each time...
    Then, again the next day, I open Aperture and am greeted with a blank library...again pointing at my picture folder in my user account...sure enough the Aperture library icon is back in my pictures folder!
    Does anybody know why this keeps happening. I want the default library to be the one I created on my firewire drive, but it keeps creating a new empty library in my user account picture folder, and defaulting to that when starting the program from the dock.
    I am the only user account on this computer and the only person using the Aperture program.
    Short of creating a desktop shortcut to my wanted firewire drive library and starting Aperture that way, is there any other workaround...as the blank library in my pictures folder keeps coming back even if I delete it.
    Now the question:
    If I want to create 2 different Aperture libraries (not 2 projects, but 2 distinct libraries) on my firewire drive, is there any way to access one then switch to another within the main program without having to go all the way out and start up by selecting the icon from the wanted one to do so?
    Thanks for your anticipated help and (hopefully) your patience with a noob user.

    The setting is in Aperture-->Preferences. Just select the library you want to use, then exit the Prefs. Quit Aperture. Relaunch. It will use the library you selected.
    If you double clicked on a library to open Aperture, it will make that setting in Prefs for you so the next time it should open that library again (assuming it's available at the time, not sleeping as externals often do).

  • Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

    Help needed!

    It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
    There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:

  • Show rows with empty values

    Hello,
    We are creating a cross tab report, with products as the columns, and relationship managers with direct and shared revenue displayed across the rows.
    For Eg
    Relationship Manager    Coverage         Product1   Product2   Product3   Product4
    Bob                                Direct                 100,           0,               35,            50
                                          Shared                0,              0,               15,            0
    Alex                               Direct                  15,            25,             40,            10
                                          Shared                5,              0,               5,               0
    George                          Direct                  0,               0,              0,               30
                                          Shared                0,               0,              0,               5
    The problem lies when either one of the products has no values, or one of the relationship managers has no direct or shared revenues. If one of the products has no revenues, it disappears, and also when one of the RMs has no direct or shared revenues, the Direct or Shared row disappears.
    I have tried to create a second query just included the Coverage variable, and using this variable in Query 2 with the RM variable from query 1, along with checking the "Show Rows with Empty Measure values", "Show Rows with Empty Dimension Values" and "Show when empty", but it still does not appear to work.
    It only shows rows with values in them, and shows the rows with empty values at the end with no RM.
    I have not tried to solve for empty columns yet.
    Help with this would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!
    Thank you

    Hi ,
    I think you can resolve this issue following ways ,
    you need create another query  ( Ex :Qauery2 ) add Product object and RM (Direct,shared) object only without  conation. So now query2 result wil have all product and RM(Direct,shared).
    Merge the Product object and RM  between query1 and query2
    Now create table using Product and RM from query2 and measure value from query1.  Now you will get row even there is no data.
    If you want try this sample report using efasion unvierse.
    1) Add year ,state and Discount objects  and apply condition Year Not in list "2004"  and state Not in list "California "
    2) run this query and create the cross tab table . Now you will not get 2004 column  and California row in table.
    3) Create query2 add Year and State only without any condition , run the query. Now query 2 will display all state and year .
    4) Merge the column Year and State between query1 and query2
    4) Create the cross table ussing Year and state from query2 and Discount from Query1
    Now cross table will show 2004 and California ,even there is not in query 1.
    I hope this will help you.

  • FileAdapter Write file with empty payload always error

    Hi All ,
    I run on 10.1.3.3.1 with patch Patch 7375080 only esb not have bpel.I have to use webservice for verify data.
    and response with set of objects.

    2.
    I must write log file with FileAdapter . I want to append file so I add attribute Append=true
    to wsdl
    <jca:operation

  • User Stamp/Create Stamp Fields

    Updated By [field type : User stamp]
    On record create - all of these fields are supposed tobe populated but in SP06 HF 04 - when we use  "Shift+Delete" to save the record  - in record detail  the auto id and all the above fields are not populated . Refresh or click anywhere else away from the record pane & then come back to the record detail - you see all values populated .

    Hi Vinay,
    Whenever you want to create a record in MDM data manger.
    - Rt click on the record pane and select ADD
    - On adding a new record you need to fill in all the deatails of the record under the record detail tab
    - You will be bale to make entry in the editable fields but not in Sytem populated fields such a suser stamp and create stamp etc
    - After entering the valid data you have to just click on the main data manager record pane-
    - A processing icon will be shown for sometime afterw hich your created record should get filled with all the sytem defined fields
    - Shift+Enter is also one way to save the rec.
    I have worked on SP06 and it is fine with this funtionality.it is the way it works for any version for SAP MDM.
    Hope it helped
    Kindly Reward points if found useful
    Thanks

  • Find files with empty properties

    Hi experts,
    We use SAP KM and have some properties which are mandatory when you upload a file.
    Now we have the problem, that there are still some files in the KM with empty (mandatory) properties, e.g. when they are uploaded with the portal drive.
    Is there a way to find these files? With a KM report, with the TREX (is it possible to search for NULL in the fields), ...?
    Best regards,
    Manuel

    Hi,
    You can ofcourse write a KM Report, which iterates through all KM Resources and check for this property for null.
    Check this to know, how to create custom KM Report:

  • Error when creating PO with reference to PR

    Hello Expert,
    When creating PO with reference to PR I encountered with one error i.e. system is taking into consideration one to one relation of PR line item to PO line item. For example: I have created PR with one line item for XYZ value and with reference to PR line item I am creating one PO but with two line items in PO that means I am splitting PR value into two line items in PO, 1st line item with zero tax and second one is with tax.
    So there is one PR line item but in PO I am creating two line items with reference to single PR item. In this case system is giving error saying Item 001 WBS element XXXXXXXXXX budget exceeded. message no: BP604. However if I create single line item in PO then it wont give any error.
    Please suggest any customization setting is done for such kind of behavior of the system.
    Thanks
    Shyam

    Hi,
    SAP creates the requisition with item category "U" even in case of cross-company (intercompany) purchase requisition.
    When converting it to PO the item category becomes blank - as I tried and I got no error message.
    Please check your settings under SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types (V_T161). You will see (if standard settings have not been changed) that NB requisition type with "U" item category is allowed for NB purchase order type with " " (empty) item category.

  • Can only get the "Draft" stamp when insert customer stamp with C#+JS

    I am trying to insert customer stamp in batch files with C#+JS.
    My JS works well in Acrobat. However, it doesn't work when use C#+JS. I always get the Acrobat's "Draft" stamp other than my own ones (the AP value is confirmed correct).
    In c#, it runs as this ( with the objectype.InvokeMember())
    1. initial an annotation with addAnnot first and get the properties object with method of getProp().
    2. Set the type entry of the properties object as "Stamp"
    3. With setProp(), modify the annotation to a Stamp annotation, and then get the properties object of the Stamp annotation.
    4. Set the entries (rect, page, AP ) of the properties object. Then use setProp() again to modify the properties of the Stamp annotation.
    The program runs without any error message. But I can only get the default stamp "Draft".
    One thing I found so far, in JS console in Acrobat, if I set the AP properties AFTER set the annotation type to "Stamp", it also get the "Draft" stamp only. as this,
         annot = this.addAnnot();
         prop = annot.getProps();
         prop.type = "Stamp";
         annot.setProps(prop);
         prop = annot.getProps();
         prop.page = 0;
         prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
         prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
         annot.setProps(prop);
    If I set the prop.Ap before the forth line in above para, I can get the right stamp.
         annot = this.addAnnot();
         prop = annot.getProps();
         prop.type = "Stamp";
         prop.AP = "#xxxxxxxx";
         annot.setProps(prop);
         prop = annot.getProps();
         prop.page = 0;
         prop.rect = [0, 0, 100, 100];
         annot.setProps(prop);
    Or, if I set the props in the typcial JS format like below, I also get the right one
    annot = this.addAnnot({
    type: stamp,
    page: 0,
    rect: [0,0,100,100]
    AP: #xxxxxxxx)});
    But, the problem is, in C#, the AP properties can only be set after set the annotation type as Stamp (step 4). I think this might be the reason, but I don't know how to get over this.
    Please help. Thanks!

    No, it can't – but you could do that yourself as part of the watermarking process (ie. Two watermarks or fields)

  • Problem with creating links with WPC (SP 14)

    Hi,
    I have a problem creating links with the WPC (SP14): When I want to create internal links (Browse and select the target item) via the right button (choosing a website as a reference link). If I do so I encounter the problems either that the linked site (outside the WPC) shows a blue background and/ or has no navigation frame (on the left side & no breadcrumb-navigation on top).
    If I create links with the left button in the WPC via URLs I have the problem with the inserted URL, because sometimes (I don't know why und when) some parts of the code in the URL changes, so that the linked Website is empty (besides the navigation fram - the content isn't displayed anymore). To me it looks like as if the originally website cannot be "found" anymore.
    Does anyone has the same problems and is eventually able to help me? This would be really great. Thanks!

    Hi,
    you have also to deploy the following file from Service Marketplace:
    Patch for SP14 for KMC WEB PAGE COMPOSER 7.00
    Than it will works. The best way is you deploy WPC SP 15.
    If you want i can send you this file via email.
    regards,
    Sharam
