Creating a form which allows the adding of rows to a table

Hi there,
I am trying to create a form to get declarations of trusteeships, directorships and large shareholdings of our company's directors, so that we can manage any conflicts of interest. Some directors will have one or two declarations to make; others may have a dozen or so.
I want to create a form for each director to make all of their declarations, but can't see how to create a table, with the ability to add more rows, if you have more declarations to make.
Is there a way t do this?

This is not really possible to achieve with a form created in Acrobat. You
can create the fields in advanced and then show/hide them, but you can't
"re-flow" the file on the fly and add more form fields to it, pushing the
rest of the content down the page. For that you would need to use Adobe
LiveCycle Designer, which has a separate forum here.

    Hello, thanks for replying.
    Yes they just copy to the next page, the fields are the same. The document is an observation to school lessons so it needs to be consistent but with different data on.

    I would like to create a form that gives the user opportunities to provide information on as many as 50 projects. Does Adobe FormsCentral allow for this "expandable" type of form, such that if someone only has 10 projects, they can complete the form as easily as someone with 50 projects. In other words, is there a way to make the form "expandable?"

    Hi Ms Buckner,
    Yes, you can do this with the Show/Hide "Skip" logic rules.
    1. Suppose, for example, you have your first ten projects showing by default.
    2. At the end of those fields, you would have a Yes/No question asking if the person wanted to add more projects.
    3. If they answer "No", they move on to the next section/area/question/etc.
    4. If they answer "Yes" you have the form display ten more project fields that you had already included, but you had hidden up to this point.
    5. Repeat steps two, three, and four as often as needed. (It helps that you can copy and paste fields, including groups of questions, so you don't have to manually re-create them each time.)
    It means you must anticipate the maximum number of times you want to provide project fields, but you've already done that, and you have to build the form with that maximum number, but only display smaller portions at a time until they have filled in all they need.
    I hope that helps,

    I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

    This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

  • Can I create order forms that calculate the exact total with taxes?

    Can I create order forms that calculate the exact total with taxes?
    The customer needs to know exactly how much everything will cost before submitting. I can handle the actual payment portion manually.

    thanks for the info;
    I'll inform the admin dude that they need an upgraded acrobat to do forms.

  • Always fill out the very last row of a table (which can expand)

    Hi, I'm having problems with a button in table A that adds a row to another table (table B) and then automatically fills out some of the table row data (table A) into the newly created row of the other table (table B)
    Here's my code (on click of button in a row of Table A) - I should also mention that Table A has a button to add more rows to itself:
    This almost works - however, it only works if the amount of rows in each table match - which they don't necessarily as the user may or may not opt to add the row from table A to table B. eg. Table A could be 4 rows deep, but table B may only contain 2 Rows.
    tableB.row.addInstance(0);
    var vCol1 = this.resolveNodes("tableA.row.cellA");
    var vCol2 = this.resolveNodes("tableB.row.cellA");
    var vCol3 = this.resolveNodes("tableA.row.cellB");
    var vCol4 = this.resolveNodes("tableB.row.cellB");
    for (var i = 0; i < vCol1.length; i ++) {
                 vCol2.item(i).rawValue = vCol1.item(i).rawValue;
                 vCol4.item(i).rawValue = vCol3.item(i).rawValue;
    I'm new to scripting (learning on the fly) so my question is, seeing that the first command is to add a new row to table B, can I alter the code so that var vCol2 and vCol4 always relate to the very latest row that has been created? In that way, any previous rows that have been added will shunt down the list and will not be affected but the new button click? Or is there a better way of doing this.

    Hi,
    I think the key here is that the addInstance method returns the row it has just added.  So your add can be something like;
    var button = xfa.host.messageBox("You are about to ADD this entry to Table B. Do you wish to proceed?", "Add to Table B Section", 1, 2);
    if (button == 4)
       var newRow = tableB._tableBrow.addInstance(0);
       newRow.cellA.rawValue = cellA.rawValue;
       newRow.cellB.rawValue = cellB.rawValue;
    I'm not sure how you want the table A remove button to work?  Should it remove the first table B row with a matching cellA and cellB?

    hi Jarrod, 
    i want to make a display iview where the data comes from a table, add image beside each data from the table,
    1) if i display data in table i am not able to add image beside each row.
    2)i have also tried using one form and one table displayed side by side where the table has data from data service and form has the images (static), but here again as the height of row can not be changed the image does not fit perfectly beside the rows.
    I have not worked in VC before, so dont know wat exactly cant be done,
    hope you will guide if you have any idea wat could be done
    I got the help given below but not able to understand the flow of what is done 
    First create a button to trigger an action (let's say the action is called "go").
    Drag a line and create a signal out set go as the event, name the signal out as "sig".
    Create 4 numeric fields in the signal out "num1",..,"num4".
    Map num1 <- 1
    Add a signal in to the model, name it "sig" and create 4 numeric field to it ("num1",..,"num4" as well).
    Drag a line from the signal in and choose a form from the context menu.
    4 recordsl will appear in the form. set them as visible and as spinner control.
    drag a line from the form's out port and add a signal out named "go".
    Map is as follows:
    num1 <= @num1+1
    num2 <= 1
    num3 <= if(@num2==1,1,0)
    num4 <= if@num3==1,1,0)
    Add a gaurd condition to the line @num1<4 and name the event "Next_Event"
    double click on num1 to open the properties popup.
    For num1 define a custom action named "Next_Event"
    For num2 define a custom action named "Pass1"
    For num3 define a system action move row - move next
    For num4 define a custom action named "pass2"
    drag a line from the form and add data store. Create 2 field in it "first" and "second"
    set the event to be pass1 and map the value you want from the table to "first".
    Create another line from the form to the data store with event pass 2 that maps value to second.
    Create a new form with 2 field which default vlaue is the value in the data store.

    Hi
    Oh!!  You should to  explain it at first thread itself that you want to display a JPG imange or other WDWebResourceTypetaken form the backend.
    1. So this is not at all a URL
    2. You have to convert binary data to WDWebResource then display it in either Image UI element or other (like PDF , txt etc)
    3
    try
                   //        Read the datasource of the FileUpload
                   IWDResource res = wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource();
                   InputStream in = res.read(false);
                   ByteArrayOutputStream bOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                   int length;
                   byte[] part = new byte[10 * 1024];
                   while ((length = in.read(part)) != -1)
                        bOut.write(part, 0, length);
                   in.close();
                   bOut.close();
                   IPrivateUploadCompView.IImageTableElement ele = wdContext.nodeImageTable().createImageTableElement();
                   ele.setImage(wdContext.currentContextElement().getResource().getUrl(0));
                   ele.setText(res.getResourceName());
                   wdContext.nodeImageTable().addElement(ele);
              catch (Exception e)
                   wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(e.toString());
    Here I assume that you convert that data to IWDResource type or
    4.
    WDWebResource.getWebResource(wdContext.currentContextElement().getresource(), type);
    // getResource of type binary which u read from BAPI and set it in local context , type is MIMETYPE or hardcode it as "JPG"

  • Is it possible to create a form which can be filled out during service work and then printed

    I want to build a form that I can fill out on my laptop as I perform service work.  The work being performed varies from job to job.  I would like to be able to print out only the work I perform, and not have a bunch of blank spaces for things not done.  Is that possible with this program?

    It might be, but the type of thing you're describing is perhaps better implemented with a dynamic XFA form created with Adobe's LiveCycle Designer, which came with Acrobat prior to version 11 and is now a separate product. It allows you do add/remove groups of fields (e.g., one or more rows, an entire sections, etc.) at run-time, causing the form to expand/contract as the fields are added/removed. This involves some scripting. There is a forum for Designer here where you can ask more questions.
    It's possible to create a form with Acrobat that dynamically adds entire pages (templates) at run-time, overlays the contents of a (normally hidden) template on an existing page, as well as show/hide fields, but automatic reflow of page contents is more problematic. This too involves scripting and you can ask about it in this or the Acrobat JavaScript forum.

  • Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

    I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible.  Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form.  I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

    Hi,
    You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
    However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Creating a form that allows multiple Digital Signatures

    I am trying to make a PDF form that allows multiple users to sign different portions of a single form. I have created the form and inserted the Digital signature fields. Which if I use my Acrobat 8 Professional to open I am able to sign each different signature field independantly, but if the form is opened in just Reader 8 it will not allow singing of any digital signature field at all. Seems the security settings revert to a default of not allowing the form to be signed. Anyone able to help, if I have not provided enough information please let me know as I am pretty new to LiveCycle.

    The previous post is correct.  Reader will not allow you to sigh an form unless it has been reader extended to enable the signing functionality.  Acrobat pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions can be used for this.

  • Create A Form That Has The Ability To Be Filled In

    Hi, I'm new to PDF creation and what I am attempting to do is create a PDF that I can email to clients, have them fill it out and then email it back to me. Right now, I can create the PDF with no problem. What I am having a challenge with is creating a PDF that they can fill in the blanks and then send it back to me. What am I missing?
    Thanks
    Don

    From what I read in your e-mail, you don't know where to start. The manual is the first place to hit (it is under the HELP). You have a choice of using AcroForms done directly in Acrobat. Just select the FORMS menu and then add form fields or such a menu item. You can also use Designer for creating forms (but can then no longer edit the PDF in Acrobat, only Designer). The tow methods have pros and cons, but I would suggest you start out with AcroForms.
    Allowing for the form to be saved depends on the extent to which you expect it to be used. If the use will likely exceed 500 over time, then do not use this option. Simply create a button field that will allow for submission of the form and submit the form to a URL for processing (you will need help there) or a mailto:<mail address> with the pitfalls of the mailing. You should not include any private info, like credit cards if you use the email submission, and even with web submission without a secure server. I would suggest you have the form data submitted as a FDF data file (one of the selections in the submission setup). When you receive such a FDF file, simply open the PDF and then go to the form menu and import the data file. The result will be identical to what the customer had.
    If this is confusing, sorry. It is best to start out creating a simple form and see if you can process it for yourself. Then go back and try to fix it with the desired form when you have a better idea where you are going.
