Creating forms

Hi,
I paln to make templates for birthday invitations, where users just fill in the blanks. I also want them to be able to use a certain font, even though they might not have installed it on their computer. Is this possible with acrobat?

Yes, using text form fields. Note that the font you want to use must allow for editable embedding so that Acrobat will embed the entire font. If it doen't, Acrobat won't allow you to select it for use with the field.

    I haven't seen the ora-03116 problem.
    What version of Portal are you running? Are the databases at the same version? Does your table have longs or anything strange in it?
    Can you query the table via the synonyms and link in sqlplus as the application schema? This is a good test because it eliminates Portal.
    You should try setting up synonyms etc for the emp table. If you still get the problem then Oracle may be able to replicate it. If not, then there's sth funny about your table maybe.
    I agree with Vishnu about creating everything in sqlplus. I create all my links and synonyms in sqlplus. They are all public. I have 2 synonyms: one takes you over the link the other takes you to the right schema. It's flexible and it works.
    data database: D grants to P (local schema) on table T
    public syn T = D.T (sys) (get the right schema)
    portal dbase : public db link to data database connecting as P
    public syn T = T@dblink (sys) (over the link)
    P is a schema created in both databases.
    Test is: P in portal dbase can "select * from T" and gets the right data.
    I never, ever refer to a schema when defining a form. ie. never P.T or D.T or whatever. I always refer simply to a synonym. For the above my form would be defined simply on the table T.
    Hope this helps

  • How to override the create method invoked by a create form?

    Hello everyone, I'm using ADF Faces and have the next question:
    How can I override the create method which is invoked by a create form to preset an attribute in the new row (the preset value is not fixed, I have to send it to the method as a parameter as it is obtained using an EL expression)?
    In the ADF guide I read how to override a declarative method (Section 17.5.1 How to override a declarative method), but this explains how to do it with a method that is called by a button. I don't know how to do the same with a method which is called automatically when the page is loaded.
    I also tried overriding the view object's createRow() method to receive a parameter with the preset values but it didn't work, I believe that was because the declarative create method is not the same as the view object's createRow. This caused the form to display another row from the viewobject and not the newly created one (I also set the new row into STATUS_INITIALIZED after setting the attribute).
    Well, I hope my problem is clear enough for somebody to help me.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    I'm not sure you can do it with standard generated Create Form.
    In your view object you'll need to create your own create method with parameters, publish it to client interface and invoke instead of standard generated create action in page definition.

  • Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
    Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

    i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
    import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
    ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
    evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
    while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
    however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

    I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

    FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
    Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

  • User should only work on created Form

    Hi all!
    Here is my problem.
    A user is working in B1. For example:With a double_klick on a Textfield and a user created Form will be shown.
    No the User should only work with this Form until its closed! There should be no possibility to open an other form or so.
    Like if you get a MessageBox, there is no other "normal" way to work on until you close this Messagebox.
    May it is possible to let the Form act like such a Messagebox.
    Thanks for replies..
    Matthias

    The Sample you speak of show the hack/workaround (Not true modal functionality).
    From the sample:
        Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.ItemEvent
            ' Don't let the user to move to other forms
            Dim EventEnum As SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes
            EventEnum = pVal.EventType
            If bModal And FormUID <> "Modal" Then
                oForm.Select() ' Select the modal form
                BubbleEvent = False
            End If
            ' If the modal from is closed...
            If FormUID = "Modal" And (EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE) And bModal Then
                bModal = False
            End If
        End Sub
    In the sample the bModal bool set to true when opening the form block all events by selecting the modal form on each event and setting bubbleevent to false.. the EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE set the bModal to false so events can continue
    Biggest problem with this is if you use a eventfilter (which you should do)... here you need to remove the event filter along with setting the BModal (not in the sample), and reapply it after form close.

  • Creating Forms in Acrobat 9

    Is there any way to make the usual toolbars available when in the new form editing view?
    I find the Hand Tool and the Marquee Zoom indispensable when creating forms, but it appears I only have access to a very limited array of tools when working on a form (i.e., neither of these).
    Also, can I disable the ruler in form editing view? It just eats up unnecessary space.

    I know how to make all of the usual tools available *outside* form editing mode, what I want is to have those tools available when I'm creating fields, etc. I don't want to have to jump back and forth between modes.
    I see that the button tool has been duplicated in the Advanced Editing toolbar, why haven't the others been made available, even as custom buttons?
    So I guess there's no way to do this. It seems like the only "advantage" to form editing mode is a limited array of tools.
    Edit: Also, I know *how* to turn the ruler off in form mode, what I want is the ruler off by default in form editing mode. Since you suggest I should jump back and forth to use the usual tools when working on forms, I'd at least like to have the ruler in form editing mode off by default, but it currently has to be turned off every time form editing mode is entered.
    (Sorry if I'm coming off a bit abrupt, this change is really going to interfere with my workflow.)

  • Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

    Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

    What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

  • How to create form in LC to fill and save by Adobe Reader ?

    Hi there,
    please advise me, how I should do form in LifeCycle. I would like to send by e-mail this form, and I would like to be able to open it, fill and save customers by use of the basic Adobe Reader.
    Importantly, the recipient must be able to stop filling it in half and send it on, say, or return to it after a time. When it comes to functions in the same form it is about marked fields, enter text and add files (as attachments).
    Do you have any ideas? Suggestions?
    Best regards,
    Piotr

    You may want to go through this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2013/05/understanding-reader-extensions-licensing.html
    Your usecase can be achieved by using calculations and scripts in LiveCycle Designer created form and using Reader Extensions but go through above blog for licesing as to which product is better for your usecase.

  • Problems with creating forms in Acrobat Pro 9

    I like (sort of) the new style for creating forms. However; execution leave much to be desired.
    I spent 6 hours yesterday adding about 20 (a mix of Text and check boxes) boxes to one page on a two page pdf. about every 2 minutes or so I would have a crash.
    Using OSX4.11 on a 1.67 GB PowerBook (powerpc) 17" Laptop (system Ram is 2 GB). I made the mistake of instead of buying the CD package from Adobe opted to download from Adobe (on a 1 MB DSL line) took a couple of hours to download) I created a DVD installer disk. But anyway after a certain point the program asked for system password and did a reinstall/repair. Still didn't help.
    In previous versions there was a way to adjust memory Cache there is none in this version. usually I had to set to 1000 just to keep Acrobat from Crashing, looking at a PDF. Now there is no way to set.
    keeps on I am going to have to decompress acrobat 8 so I can do forms.

    No Haxies. I decompressed my back up of Acrobat 8 and used a original copy of the PDF to create the forms. Acrobat didn't have the first hiccup. took all of 15 minutes.
    I tried to do the same on Acrobat 9, after I used AppleJack to dump all my cache files. same results about ever 2-1/2 - 3 minutes Crash City.
    If you want to look at the original PDF with no form text and check boxes. I can send to you. its only page two I'm interested in.

  • Create form based on existing row : advice from specialists

    hello,
    i've coded a "create form" based on a row selected by the user.
    this create form displays the same information as the selected row (except for the primary key which is a sequence trigger-calculated) the user can then modify any field and then commit the creation. It's quicker for tables with many columns since the user will override only several fields instead of setting every field one by one.
    I've done it this way :
    1) creation of a createCustomMethod() in my ViewObject implementation class and published it in the client interface.
    2) drag and drop the method as a command button on the selection list page
    3) set the action of the command button to the navigation case value to open the create form when the button is clicked.
    the code of the createCustomMethod() is the following
    public void createCustomMethod() {       
    Row currentRow = this.getCurrentRow();
    Row newRow = this.createRow();
    newRow.setAttribute("Attribute1",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute1"));
    newRow.setAttribute("Attribute2",currentRow.getAttribute("Attribute2"));
    /* more initialization code here */
    this.insertRow(newRow);
    this.setCurrentRow(newRow);
    it works fine but as i'm knew to ADF BC is this a good solution ? are there any drawbacks to it ?
    thanks
