Creating a test using the form wizard

I need to create a multipart test that will be used for editors applying for jobs. Part of the test will be a multiple choice spelling test, with 20 questions. I created the file in Word and am trying to use the form wizard to create check box fields. It looks like this:
1.
initative
intiative
initiative
enitiative
I want the blanks to the left of each word to be a check box field or a radio button.
When I created the pdf form and saved it, I found that when I checked any one of the boxes, all four check box fields were automatically filled in. I know I'm doing something wrong, but can't figure out what.
Do these forms have to be created in one session? Or can I save the form, close it and then contune editing the form fields later?
I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5
Any advice anyone can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have gotten the hang of creating check boxes and radio buttons so that they behave the way I need them to behave. Thanks for the help on that.
I create these tests 2X per year and each test is to be used at least 500 times.
Here's my next apparent dilemma: I am creating this test in Acrobat Pro 9.5. The test takers are in three different cities in India. They use Reader X.
When I "distributed" a test of the only section I have completed to myself I discovered all of the distribution mechanisms (saving to a network folder, distributing via email, etc.). All of these options are far too complicated for my users.
Isn't there a way to create a form in Pro 9.5 that can just be saved with Reader X enabled so that anyone who opens the file in Reader X can just "save as" and have their filled-in data saved? I must emphasize that the saving process must be as simple as possible.
I need to keep this as simple as possible because I distribute these tests once and they are used over and over and the completed tests are collected by HR people who are not tech savvy at all. They are emailed to me from the three diffferent locations.
Previously I used Word but frankly there were two many ways people could cheat: That's why I want to switch to Acrobat forms. But this is looking like it's not going to work.
Perhaps I am missing something?

  • Creating a custom link using the Action Wizard

    Hi everyone! I hope someone can help me.
    I would like to create an action, using the Action Wizard, to make custom links. I work with extremely large PDF documents at a major airline. I am in charge of watermarking and linking all support manuals for the airplanes. We have a custom watermark that we apply to particular pages, and also link them to updated pages on our own private server. I think the linking process could be made faster with a custom action.
    Currently I use this code:
    app.launchURL("CODE", true)
    The "code" is the web address of the document online. This works fine, however, I still have to click the link button, reposition the link, and edit the code for the particular page. Then I have to do that hundreds of times a week.
    I'd like a link action, where I can click one button and the link is perfectly drawn and placed in the exact location I require (this never changes; The link is always the same size and in the same location). I'd like this to work the same as my custom watermark action works. With my watermark action, I simply specified where the watermark went on the page, what type size, color, etc. using javascript. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with a link; Simply state what diminsions the link box needs to be and where it's located on the page.
    If this is possible, I'd be able to do both in one click; Apply my watermark with a link box already drawn on top of it. Then all I'd need to do is edit the link with the web address of the file I'm linking to.
    I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated!
    Matthew~

    Okay, I'm really close to what I want. If you could help me with this one little thing, I'll be golden.
    My watermark is text that says "See Supplemental Information". I'm using a script that finds words and draws a link around them. That's perfect for me, except I need to search for the entire phrase "See Supplemental Information".
    Here is my code:
    /* LINKING */
    for (var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)
                        var numWords = this.getPageNumWords(p);
                        for (var i=3; i<numWords; )
                                  var ckWord = this.getPageNthWord(p, i, true);
                                  if ( ckWord == "See Supplemental Information")
                                            var q = this.getPageNthWordQuads(p, i);
                                            // Convert quads in default user space to rotated
                                            // User space used by Links.
                                            m = (new Matrix2D).fromRotated(this,p);
                                            mInv = m.invert()
                                            r = mInv.transform(q)
                                            r=r.toString()
                                            r = r.split(",");
                                            l = addLink(p, [r[4], r[5], r[2], r[3]]);
                                            l.borderColor = color.red;
                                            l.borderWidth = 1;
                                            l.setAction("app.launchURL('https://website.com', true)");
    The code works if I only search for one word, but when I try to search for a phrase, it doesn't do anything. Is there a way to search for an entire phrase like what I need?
    Thanks for all your help.
    Matthew~

  • Error while using the 'Form and Report' wizard

    Hello,
    I’m trying to create a form and report on EMP, using the APEX wizards, but I’m getting the following error message:
    ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create query and update page. ORA-20001: Unable to create form on table. ORA-20001: Error creating shortcut id="" ORA-00001: unique constraint (FLOWS_030100.WWV_FLOW_SHORTCUT_IDX1) violated
    This is something local, on my APEX instance only, but any ideas what is wrong here?
    Thanks,
    Arie.

    Hi Scott,
    >> Do you happen to know where that PL/SQL shortcut came from? Created by you or an apex wizard?
    The original shortcut was probably created by an APEX wizard, but then I changed its type to ‘PL/SQL Function Body’. The shortcuts are not included in the translatable components, so I need a function to determine the application language, and issue the message accordingly.
    >> The type of the shortcut is not part of that constraint
    So changing the shortcut type back to the type I need, after the wizard finished its job, should not have any side effects. Correct?
    >> and the sequence always seems to be 1
    And we don’t have access to it, so we can’t change it manually.
    >> Our bug
    Can you please fill a bug report on that?
    I will post an enhancement request about including shortcuts in the translatable components, but I’ll appreciate you mention this issue also.
    Appreciate your time and efforts,
    Arie.

  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Form Command over Creating a User Form in VBA?

    I’m in the early stages of creating a spreadsheet that will require data entry into the worksheet. The worksheet could get to 1000s of rows, depending on the particular user.
    When I refer to the ‘Form Command’ I’m referring to the option of adding a Quick Access Tool bar button by selecting ‘more commands’, ‘all commands’, ‘Form…’
    My questions/concerns would be relating to ‘should I develop this spreadsheet with the Form Command or a User Form in VBA?
    Concerns/Questions:
    Deployment to other users
    Protecting worksheet cells so the user can only add records using the form command or the user form in vba. In other words, don’t allow users to edit cells that are not within the table structure of the sheet or add rows if they’re not using the form
    Data validation when entering data…
    Keith
    Keith Aul

    Hi,
    Both variants have pro's and cons. If you plan to use VBA you have to consider the deployment settings on other p.c.'s where you have to allow macro's where as a regular form doesn't have the need for that.
    That said the userform gives you much more control because the form command is not saved. it is simply a temporary form which you have to setup every time. It's perfect for data entry. If you are looking for data validation the userform is the one to go
    for. You also have the possibility to work on placements of the data entry.
    So if you are looking for speed and simplicity then go for the form command. If it is handling control you are after I'd go for a userform.

      I created a table using the ranking field and now I need to delete the "dots/buttons" and turn them into text fields, is this possible?

    It sounds like what you are trying to do is edit the choices in a likert field to something other than the default radio button. This is not something that you can do in Formscentral at this time.

  • Is there a way to make the Form Wizard group things in the order I want it to?

    I am creating a multi-page checklist. Each question has a radio button with the possible answers of yes, no or n/a. When I run the Form Wizard, it detects the boxes I created, in Word using the Developer, but it puts all the yes's in a group, all the no's in a group and leaves the n/a's out. Is there a way to make it so when the Form Wizard creates the radio buttons, it puts a yes, no and n/a in one group? I don't want to have to create a sepearte group for each question. These checklists are long and there are hundreds of questions.

    The auto field detection feature is designed to look for Yes/No text labels next to each radio button group -- not specifically n/a. Do you have a group label to the left or above each group? This is how each group is determined -- if it's not there they'll default to check boxes. For more detail on how the auto field detection feature works, check out the tutorial Designing Forms for auto field detection. Also, there were a few improvements in the 9.2 release, so make sure you're using this point release or later.

  • Will indesign allow me to create a calendar using the lunar cycle?

    I need to be able to create a calendar using the lunar cycle instead of the standard gregorian cycle. Does Indesign's calendar wizard/software allow me to do this or would I have to create it manually through something like photoshp/illustrator?

    InDesign does not come with a Calender Wizard script, so you probably downloaded this elsewhere. you'll have to ask where you got it from.
    (If this "lunar cycle" thing is not in the feature list of that script, chances are it's not hidden in there somewhere either. If I included such a feature, I'd make sure to advertise it. If it isn't available, you can probably contact the author and see if s/he is willing to add it.)

  • IIs there any way of loading in a MM54C221J component into multisim with out having to use the component wizard?

    Im trying to use a MM54C221J multivibrator in multisim, but it's not in the library.
    Does anyone know if I can get hold of one with having to use the component wizard?
    Many thanks 

    Hello GFear,
    There are several sources for components that aren't native to multisim.
    You can directly contact the manufacturer of the component should they have the multisim model available.
    You can also search the web incase another user has created the component.
    I have searched for the MM54C221J and have not found one available online.
    If you are having trouble using the Component Wizard here is a useful link that breaks down each of the steps.
    To create a component you will need a spice model of the component which you should be able to acquire from the manufacture.

    Hello. Can I still use the forms central to modify my pdf.-files after the software is not supported by adope?

    Formscentral isn't designed to allow for the modification of PDF files, forms or otherwise. If you have saved forms created in Formscentral as PDF you will continue to be able to modify them in a program like Acrobat. Hope this helps.

  • Importing form data per XML - Using the form interface?

    Hi!
    I'm developing interactive forms by adobe and I want to import my form data per XML file. The xml file and the email are created by my pdf document.
    Now this xml file has to be parsed by a report or something like this.
    Is it possible to use the form interface, I implemented, or do I have to parse it manually?
    I think it has to work with this interface because it makes the pdf and it "knows" what to import/export.
    Am I wrong with my suspicions or can you help me with this problem?
    Thanks & greets,
    Philip Gillißen

    I'm pretty impressed of Adobe and their stuff (I do NOT refer to the community), how helpful they are.
    Perhaps I didn't understand  the meaning on the offical customer support website, stating:

  • How to create a partition using the free space of an existing[SOLVED]

    Hi Guys,
    Since I could not install fifa 09 using wine on linux, I need to create a partition where I can install windows first in order to install fifa 09 on it. How can I create a partition using the rest free space of my , for example, /home partition?How can I do it in a secure way (meaning without doing something to my existing archlinux installation files and system files) ?
    Thanks.

    Use Parted Magic. But you *should* backup any important files just in case, regardless of method you use. You never know. Someone could unplug your computer, a power surge might happen, etc. A cousin of mine actually did something similar while I was gaming, the extension cord has a red button which he "accidentally" pressed. I would've cracked his skull had he done it while resizing a partition.
    Anyway, the partitioning scheme should be the first thing you do when you decide go this route (dual booting). I remember about a year ago I forced myself to use Linux by formatting the entire drive to ext4, except for the 2 GB + 20 GB ntfs partitions. It was what kick-started me on this path. Here's my partitioning scheme for both computers, maybe you'll get an idea and do something similar:
    Older computer:
    2 GB ntfs - MicroXP
    8 GB ext4 - Arch Linux + Home dir (to keep the dot files organized in one place)
    20 GB ntfs - games partition
    Rest is for media, formatted as ext3 with inode 128 (so it can be loaded as Read-Only in Windows too via Ext2fsd so they won't be affected in case of a virus infection)
    New computer:
    20 GB Windows 7
    10 GB Arch Linux + home dir
    50 GB games partition
    Rest of the space is ext4 mounted to /media
    Note that they're all primary partitions for remembering easier (sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4) instead of a combination of primary and extended which would probably look like sda1, sda5, sda6, sda7, etc.
