Creating a form with dynamic components

I am rather new to LiveCycle, however I have made a few forms and distributed/collected them. I would like to build a form where the user can fill in the fields and the info will be transposed to a different area of the form where the user can copy and paste it.
Example: Form has the following feilds: First Name:, Last Name:, Address:, City:, State:, Zip:,
In another section of the form, these filled in fields would be displayed in full form as: Ex.
John Doe
124th St
New york, NY, 55555
Whereas the user could then copy and paste this info into another document. Is this functionality possible with LiveCycle?
Thank You in advance for any help with this matter.

If the fields are displayed as fields (one for one mapping) then changing the binding to global and ensuring that the fieldnames are the same will ensure that the values are kept in sync. If the second occurance is a single field made up of a number of other fields then you will have to populate the second field by script. On the calculate event of the second field you woudl use something like this:
this.rawValue = FirstName.rawValue + LastName.rawValue + "\n" + Address.rawValue + "\n" + City.rawValue + ", " + State.rawValue + "\n" + Zip.rawValue
The \n is a newline character in javascript. This will force the line feed in the final multiline field.

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time.

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Creating a Form with Report based on View

Hi All,
I wanted to create a form with report based on two tables so:
1. I created a view (called COMBO) based on two tables
2. I then created a form with report based on the view
Everything seemed fine thus far until I tried to edit existing records - I got the error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=2002082600001172, p_alt_rowid=REPATRIATION_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.NB: REPATRIATION_ID is the primary key of the Repatriation table. The other table is Applicant.
& when I tried to create a new record - I got the error:
ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.Someone please enlighten me!
Kind Regards
Kamo

Hello Kamo,
You need to create an 'instead of' (update/insert/delete) trigger on your view to process the inserts etc into the 'real' tables.

Troubles creating a form with Acrobat

I have created a form with Acrobat 9 Pro. However, when it is brought up with Acrobat Reader, the following message appears:
Sending data files by email: Please note, this form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file... However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember you cannot save a complete file of this form with Adobe Reader 9.
When the submit button is clicked, the following message is posted on a popup window.
Operation not permitted.
Here's the link to a form I am trying to get to work. It works fine if I use the Pro version, but the Reader version doesn't want to allow the form to be sent. http://www.drugfreedekalbcounty.info/pdf/interventionscholarshipform.pdf
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may have been improved with AA9, but at least up through AA8, Acrobat required the use of MAPI on the machine to deal with e-mail. If that has changed, then the other recommendation to use extended rights might meet your need. There is a 500 use limitation for the extended rights (more requires negotiation with Adobe). This may be a limitation that changed with AA9 Pro Extended.
The rights are not needed if the data file is sent and not the whole PDF. There is no need for the whole PDF since the data file can be opened in the original form document - giving the same result. Your observation that it works in AA9 for e-mail is making the assumption that everyone uses AA9. That is a dangerous assumption if you are developing a general use form. You should assume folks have back to AA7, or even AA5 (like I have on this machine). There are still a few that check in here on occasions with AA4. I have not seen an AA3 question for several years. Thus backward compatibility may be an issue, depending on your client base.
The cleanest way to work with forms is to submit to a web script. Then there is no question about the end result. The use of web scripts is even recommended for online html forms for much the same reasons. I was giving a heads up so that you have considered possible users that do not have the newest and best, assuming that the latter resolves the e-mail issue.

How to create a form with two column headings

I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
Thanks in advance

If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
Hopefully this helped,

How to create a form with DW CS3?

Hi all,
I want to create a form to gather email, address information on a website. Question, can I do that using
DW CS3? and what else do I need in order to do that? I know there is more to it than just creating a form
with fields, that there is programing behind it. I use 1 and 1.com for my hosting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need a form to email processing script. Ask your host if they provide one you can use. If not and your server supports PHP, I highly recommend this one from DB Masters. It is safe, secure and with good spam prevention built in.

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER THE IMAGES ARE BLACK BOXES.
THE FORM HAs (extend features to acrobat reader). THE FORM WAS DISTRIBUTED.
NON OF MY EMPOYEES CAN SEE THE IMAGES. WHAT'S WRONG? CAN YOU HELP?

However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Both sections protected by different passwords.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Neither should be able to edit the others. Can different sections be password protected by different passwords? I'm thinking there might be an "official use only" function.

You can use 2 forms in one portfolio.

Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?

Has anyone been able to create a HtmlDataTable with dynamic col and rows?
If so please explain. I am successfully able to dynamically add columns using the getChildren method of the htmldatatable object
BUT for each new column created no data is displayed.
I am only able to display data for columns originally created when i clicked and dragged the dataTable icon from the pallette in netbeans visual web kit.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have been searching the web and these forums for around 8 hours and no one seems to have a working example of this. Lots of similar posts asking how to do it though :(
Thanks in advance.

Creating a form with a skip pattern (skip logic)

Hello - Using LifeCycle Designer 7.0
I am creating a form with a simple: Yes/No radio button for one field(quesiton). I would like to have the form skip to a later field(question) if they answer 'No'. Can this be coded somehow in FormCalc?
Is there a way to easily put skip logic (not tab) in a form (Survey).
Thanks for your time/help.

You can use the setFocus methos to move the cursor to the field that you want..
Place it in the click event of the radiobutton.
In FormCalc:
if(radioButton1.rawValue == 1) then
$host.setFocus("<FIELDNAME>");
endif
In Java Script:
if(radioButton1.rawValue == 1)
xfa.host.setFocus("<FIELDNAME>");
Thanks
