Creating a form field with Arial MS Unicode and Identity-H encoding

I need to create a text field on an Adobe Acrobat form that has a font of Arial Unicode MS with the font encoding being set to Identity-H. However when I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (v9.5.1) to do this the encoding is always set to UniKS-UTF16-H. I can't find a way of changing the encoding to Identity-H. Any suggestions on how I can achieve this.

I have a 3rd party form filling app that needs the encoding set to identity-h to support the range of characters that could be input. I could ask the vendor to change the app to fix the problem but there would be significant process involved in that. I have a small demo that shows that creating a form with the encoding set to identity-h provides a resolution. The demo was created with iText but as the real form is considerably more complicated I'd rather not use iText if I don't have to. Since the form was originally created with acrobat the question remains as this would be the "least painful" route to a resolution.

How to create new form fields in several columns (spreadsheet) and have them named consecutively?

Hopefully someone can help. I created a new form from an Excel spreadsheet, but the form field recognition didn't "take" well and very little of the spreadsheet translated into form fields. I need to create new fields (31) for each column (about 10) and I want the fields in each column to have a keyword from the parent column and the fields numbered consecutively. I'm really hoping I don't have to do this manually!
Next, is there a way to total the values in a column of fields (the same as the SUM function in Excel?) or does the form user have to dig out a calculator and add everything?
Can I create an email (submit) button and direct how (ie email) and by what method the form is sent?
Once the form is completed, is there a way for the user to lock it before sending it - ie a button they could press to make it no longer fillable? Or can I set the document to be a regular .pdf once it leaves the host machine?
I think that's it! Hopefully someone can help soon - this is a work project that could be potentially very time consuming if I have to create each form field manually. Thank you for any assistance!
Cheers,

Rats! Thank you for your link - I may take you up on that... however for the purposes of this form I'm more than halfway done, so I might as well keep plugging away. A workaround I found was to creat 32 of something I only need 31 of, then delete the parent. Somehow even playing with spacing on the "create multiple fields" option as the fields are being created only gets the vertical alignment close - no matter what I do I still end up manually aligning (vertically) 31 little boxes for each column so they fit visually. Grrrr.
Yes, this can be very tricky. If you don't get the exact right offset between each field, the difference will accumulate and after a while it will be completely off.
You just have to play around with it, until you get it right. Or almost right, and then adjust it manually.
Another thing I've noticed, is that when you select one field and right click for properties, you get an expanded version, as opposed to select/shift/enter for a bunch of cells only yields an abbreviated properties box - what's up with that? Is there a way to change this? For instance, I had set the properties for a column of 31 cells to be number, 1 decimal place. Halfway through my project, the lady I am doing the favor for tells me she would like 2 decimal places, requiring me to manually change each box for 62 cells! Apparently cell formatting is not an option in the abreviated properties dialogue! Is there a fix for that?
No, there isn't. Some propeties you have to set manually (or get right the first time, before copying and pasting...). There is a way to do it with a script, but it's a bit complex and requires using an undocumented method.
This next question is a bit more complicated, and may not be possible. The form I am creating is for payroll purposes, so at the moment it is generic (31 days) and the user fills in the month manually. Is it possible to get the form to recognize a month value (or create a pulldown menu with a selection of months to choose from) and limit the days accordingly? Or better yet, run a calendar function so that weekends and stat holidays are highlighted on the affected row? Kind of like what you can do with an Excel spreadsheet, which is what I designed the form in at the start (then printed to .pdf - the form field recognition did NOT work well on my spreadsheet! hence me doing every cell manually). Is this even possible, and if so, is it something I could learn to do?
Yeah, it's possible, but requires quite a bit of scripting knowledge. If you wish, contact me personally (by PM or email at try6767 at gmail dot com) and I could possibly create this for you.
If you want to do it yourself, you would have to learn a lot about both the Date object in JS and about the various date printing and scanning methods in Acrobat JS.

Creating dynamic form data with SetValue QPAC

I'm creating form data in a workflow process, and using it to populate a dynamic XDP with a subform. In my test form, the subform is named "Item", with a text field named "ItemData". Initially, I can create the form field via the SetValue QPAC and using these parameters;
location: /process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item/ItemData
value: "first"
However, I need to add multiple instances of the Item subform. For example, if I fill out the test form with 3 items and export the data to XML, the data structure comes out like this:
first
second
third
So, the question is, how do I use the SetValue QPAC to create multiple instances of the items? I've tried various locations;
/process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item.x/ItemData
/process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item[x]/ItemData
/process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item/ItemData.x
but none of them seem to work. I know I'm probably just missing something simple. Anybody care to fill me in on the obvious?

Hi Clifton
Looking back on this thread, I think you're saying that the data is eventually going to come from a MySQL database.
In that case, our SQLPlus QPAC will do the job perfectly.
You just specify the query, specify the repeating element:
/process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item
and then map columns in the result set to sub-element of the Item.
eg mycolumn -> ItemData
The SQLPlus qpac will create all the repeating items for you.
Does this work for you?
If not, please specify what you'd like to see.
A couple of options are:
- A setValue qpac that correctly inserts for expressions like: process_data/form/form-data/data/xdp/datasets/data/fields/Item[2] (probably difficult to do)
- An InsertSequence qpac that takes a repeating element and a count as an input, and creates that many repeating elements. You could then refer to them using the regular SetValue qpac. (Probably easier to do.)
- Something else. Go wild :-)

I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

Can we create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP, or Java

Hi,
I would like to know if we can create Interactive forms only with ABAP & without using GP or Java. We want to develop an offline solution using Interactive forms, but would like to use only ABAP for creating the forms. All the documents so far either refer to creating the forms, in reference to / in sync with: ISR (Service Requests), GP (General Procedures) or Java. Can this be done with ABAP alone?
Regards,
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,
You should be able to create Adobe Interactive Forms using only the ABAP stack (without GP, Java, etc). Please refer to the thread below. Hope it helps.

Form field with comma delimited value list to cfc

I have a form that passes a field to an action page with a
comma delimited value.
For instance the field name is: Program_ID
value for program_ID is: 31, 32
I am able to treat this variable as a list and check its
length, and loop over the list prior to passing it to a cfc using
the attached code:
When I try and pass the variable as a string to a cfc and
invoke a query, cf no longer recognizes my var as a list.
Therefore the code attached does not function...
Is there a specific var type that will pass through as a list
and allow me to run the code block attached?
thanks
Craig

Ok answered my own question.. Here is the answer for those
who are interested...
initialize var for cfc in cfinvoke statement
<cfinvokeargument name="Program_ID"
value="#Form.Program_ID#">
pass argument to cfc as a string
<cfargument name="Program_ID" type="string"
required="true">
use listqualify to parse list in cfc and set new var
<cfset selectedProgramID =
ListQualify(Program_ID,"'",",","CHAR")>
use the new var in the following statement in sql code:
((Program_ID) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(selectedProgramID)#))
The following code handles a form field with a single value
or a comma delimited value.

Contact quick create for AET field with contact subtype

I enabled the account quick create function in CRM 7.0 EHP2 environment. The funtion works well in the opportunity with standerd account and contact fields.
In opportunity, I created 2 AET fields with the application subtype of ACCOUNT and CONTACT. The account quick create function works well with the ACCOUNT type field, however, it does not work on the AET field with CONTACT subtype.
Is there anything I need to turn on or just the function is not there yet?

How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.

Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
Thanks in advance
Atishay

I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
size/processing?

If it is longer available then you can't get the app on your phone.

I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to create entry form/fields in Numbers.

Can anyone let me know if there's a way to create an entry form/field in Numbers. The idea would be to have already created a list of contacts, then at an event on an iPad, people can check off if that person is there and also enter new contact info. Thanks in advance.

Isnt this just a table? A list of people, with a check box field in the second column, followed by a few columns for contact info to be entered in?

How do I create a Form Field Template?

Does this not exist in the new version of Document Cloud? I would like to be able to add form field layers for signing an Invoice where the account information is going to be different each time I use the form - so the standard template will not work.
Thanks!

First of all, it's still possible to add library documents for pro agreement. This discussion centers on creating and use re-usable form layers.
So instead of having a document plus fields, this feature let;s you create a template of just the fields, which can be stamped on uploaded document.
The help article from earlier, only discusses the second part on how to stamp these layers on an agreement.
It doesn't explain how to create field layers. Creating form layers is done by going to the dashboard>add Template to library.
In an account that support it, it's here you get the option to create a reusable form layer.
now as far as I'm aware this field layer feature only ever has been a feature in multi user accounts. (So old echosign team accounts and higher) In the Document cloud that would be Document Cloud Enterprise premium.
I even checked with an old pro account which hasn't been updated to the Document Cloud, and that doesn't this feature either.
if you did indeed used to have reusable form layers as an option, were you using an Echosign pro, or a different type of account?
However I'll check with our Product management to see if perhaps this feature can be made part of the Pro account.
