Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint. I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason. The error says "an unexpected error occurred. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF. How do I fix this?

Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Yes, correct - values of form fields. If one is blank, then the field would be blank - yes? If two or more have the same value that is fine.
A standard dropdown ... As shown here. If there is an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Creating multiple PDFs from an xml form

Hello--
I am a LiveCycle Designer beginner, so please bear with me.
I'm hoping to automate the creation of multiple PDFs from within a LiveCycle XML form I created. We have a database with vendor contact information. Each vendor could have multiple records within our database (currently they range from 2-60). We currently send to a pointperson at each vendor an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the records associated with that vendor. That person then modifies, adds and deletes the records in that spreadsheet. We then input those updates into our database.
We recognize that this is an antiquated form of contact management, and want to improve. Of course, the challenge is that we do not have our own server to use, and we are not able to use any third party service that costs anything. Since we already have LiveCycle Designer, I'm hoping XML forms can make things easier for our administrators. I really hope there is a scriptable solution for this.
Here is what I've done (much of it to learn how LiveCycle Designer works).
I created an XDP with all the appropriate fields.
I also created separate XML files for each vendor.
I was able to create individual PDFs when I associate the vendor-specific XML file to the XDP using the Locate Data File field in the Defaults tab of the Form Properties.
While this works, I essentially have just done the same amount of work as our current solution. Nonetheless, since LiveCycle is scriptable, I'm hoping that I can automate a number of these tasks. Is it possible to automate from within Designer, the creation of multiple PDFs—one for each vendor—using the same XDP form? Do I need to make the XDP form a TDS file? Is this even the right approach? Is there a way to connect to the database and filter out by vendor the information I need?
I apologize if this is all over the place. Any and all advice would be most appreciated!!!

The Split command also allows you to do this with a few more options like contol of the file naming and number of pages. Here is a quick tip on how to do this if you're interested.

Can I port content from one pdf form to another, from within the form fields?

WE have been given a seasonal update to our pdf forms - with one new additional form field. Is there a way that I can port all the content from my ready filled form into this new one, without having to copy and paste each individual field?
Thanks.

What is it that you want to do
- you are the form filler; you want to keep the contents of a filled in form (and put them back into a changed form)?
- you are the person responsible for adding/changing form fields; you want to keep the design and location of the form fields while changing the underlying PDF?
- both of these?

How to extract a value from a dynamic form field

Hello everybody!
I created a field by the following command:
htp.p(HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(1,'',20,30,'','VAL4','VAL5'));
Then I created submit button.
Question: In what way I can address to that value after I submit my page? Does anybody know?

you'd be able to reference that value while your page is being submitted by pointing to the associated value captured in an array with something like...
htmldb_application.g_f01(1)
...so you could do an...
insert into my_table (my_col) values (htmldb_application.g_f01(1));
...to trap that value. but having said that, i don't know if you want to go that route. if you render an element using the htmldb_item api, that element's value won't be stored into session state. you can only get to it when you page is being processed/submitted (in an html db process, computation, or validation). if you really only just want one text field to display on your page, i'd strongly suggest just adding an html db Item of type "Text Field" to your page. that way you can refer to the value stored to that item from anywhere in your app. anyhow, you might already know that. getting back to your question, though, the htmldb_item items are stored to pl/sql varchar arrays when submitted to the html db engine. i explained that briefly in...
Validations in Updatable Report
...(except i was calling the two api's wwv_flow_item and wwv_flow), and it's explained in better detail in our tabular form how-to document at http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html please do take a look and let us know if you need further assistance.

Insert multiple files from a single form

i'm trying to create a form to allow users to upload and attribute 10 image files at once to a single table. i followed the howto document:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL
and was able to create a form w/ten blank rows for insertion. however, the htmldb_item package that is used to write out the form controls does not provide an api to write out a file browse form control. is there another api i can use? if not is there a known kludge?

Scott,
i modified your suggestion and came up w/a more straight forward solution. here's the complete solution...
1. create a report based on a sql query:
select
x.IMG_SKEY
,x.IMG_TITLE_TX
,x.IMG_SRCH_KEYWORDS_TX
,x.file_browse
,x.CATEGORY_CD
from
(select
htmldb_item.hidden(1,IMG_SKEY) img_skey
,htmldb_item.text(2,IMG_TITLE_TX,12) img_title_tx
,htmldb_item.text(3,IMG_SRCH_KEYWORDS_TX,12) img_srch_keywords_tx
,'<input type="file" name="f50" size="30">' file_browse
,htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(4,null,'select category_name_tx , category_cd from image_categories order by 1',null,'NO',null,null,null,null,'NO') CATEGORY_CD
from "#OWNER#"."IMAGES"
where rownum < 0
union all
select
htmldb_item.hidden(1,null) img_skey
,htmldb_item.text(2,null,12) img_title_tx
,htmldb_item.text(3,null,12) img_srch_keywords_tx
,'<input type="file" name="f50" size="30">' file_browse
,htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(4,null,'select category_name_tx, category_cd code_value from image_categories order by 1',null,'NO',null,null,null,null,'NO') CATEGORY_CD
from dual
union all
select
htmldb_item.hidden(1,null) img_skey
,htmldb_item.text(2,null,12) img_title_tx
,htmldb_item.text(3,null,12) img_srch_keywords_tx
,'<input type="file" name="f50" size="30">' file_browse
,htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(4,null,'select category_name_tx, category_cd code_value from image_categories order by 1',null,'NO',null,null,null,null,'NO') CATEGORY_CD
from dual
note: union the null selects to get as many null rows as you want. i named the file control f50 to avoid conflicts. this control name is an array parameter in the wwv_flow.accept procedure that the form submits to. also, i unioned the null selects to the original table query which fetches no rows. this probably isn't necessary, but i left it in from the original example and had it select nothing because i wasn't sure if htmldb refrenced the column datatypes at all.
2. create a page item with the same name as your file control(f50) and change the display = never.
question: Scott, can you give me some insight into why you need this page item for the files to be uploaded. the files won't upload w/o the page item.
3. create a submit button which submits the page to itself. *make sure the button "database action = SQL INSERT action" or your files will not be uploaded to the wwv_flow_file_objects$ table
4. create a process to handle the processing of the form:
process point - after computations and validations
run process - once per page visit(default)
process:
declare
v_img_skey number;
begin
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f50.count
loop
if htmldb_application.g_f50(i) is not null then
begin
     select universal_seq.nextval
     into v_img_skey
     from dual;
insert into images(
img_skey
,img_title_tx
,img_srch_keywords_tx
,icat_category_Cd
,img_owner_name_tx
,img_last_updated_dt
values(
v_img_skey
,htmldb_application.g_f02(i)
,htmldb_application.g_f03(i)
,htmldb_application.g_f04(i)
,:APP_USER
,sysdate
end;
end if;
end loop;
end;
note: the value returned from the array htmldb_application.g_f50(i) will be the internal name of the file uploaded. i stripped down my code and removed the sections that move the file from flows_files.wwv_flow_file_objects$ into an image object and inserts it into my custom table, but anyone can use the technical notes on otn and metalink to figure it out.

Multiple Formats within a Single Form Field

I really could use some help with this one...
In a fairly simple pdf form I've created I need a field that handle text and currency formatting....within the same field. Is this possible? If so, can you provide the code for this situation?
Thanks!

If you have the freedom to change the design/layout, I'd suggest adding a check box to indicate N/A. You can set up the check box to clear the amount field and make it read-only.
If that's not going to happen, what you want to do is possible, assuming that if the value of the field is a valid number then format it with that currency format, and nothing otherwise. This will require a custom format script. Post again if you really want to go with this approach.

Creating two rows from a single row information

Hi,
I have data that will always be returned as a single row from a join of tables t1, t2.
However I want the single row to be split into two rows. i.e First row containing some fields and second row containing th remaining fields.
I think there might be a thread already existing. Can you please point me in the right direction if it is.

t1.c1 t2.c1
t1.c2 t2.c2

How do I create mutliple events from a single event?

I have a large event clip which I want to divide into multiple smaller clips.
The edit commands only seem to effect the clips in a project. In view of this I inserted the clip into a new project and then split the clip. However I cannot now transfer the new clips back into events.

First set your importing option to encode as MP3 (I believe the default state is AAC). Then put in your CD. Now hit import and all the songs will be imported as MP3s into your iTunes library.
If you want to see the actual files, then in the Finder, go to the Music folder then into the iTunes folder then into the iTunes Music folder where you will find folders by artist and inside those it goes by album.

Creating vertical text box form field in Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro

I'm very new to AAPro10. I've serched the forums and internet and couldn't find out how (or if it is possible) to do what I want to do.
I started with a premade pdf form with LOTS of potential form fields. I used the wizard to create a form. It did fairly well, but I'd like to replace a column of x number of boxes with a single form field that when i type into it, will orient the text vertically as the data will apply to all the rows in that column.
I've read things that say I can change the orientation of the form field in properties, but when i go to properties, none of the options (that I can find) allow it.
Thanks so much for the help.

Thank you so much. I feel like such a dunce... it was staring me in the face for the last 3 hours.

Modifying a PDF created from an Adobe Forms Central form.

I've created a PDF from an Adobe Forms Central online form (Create PDF from web page). I was surprised that all of the text fields were created for me, but was happy that I may not have to reverse engineer everything.
However the layout for the form is for a web-based submission and not really the right size for a PDF that I can attach in an email, potentially for printing. I'd like it to be printable at 8.5X11 if possible. There are also a few aspects of it that I would like to remove since it has instructions and the button for online submission. I want people to have the option of printing or filling out the form, saving it, and replying with it as an attachment.
Is it possible to modify the PDF at this point to reduce its size? Can I remove the instructions on what to do as well as the submit button, especially while saving the background coloring? It seems like there is quite a bit of wasted space with the headers/footers too. At 8.5X14, it still hangs over into page 2.
The form can be found at: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=oEsnPs*6J8xiF7XlraAsLA
Any help would be appreciated, since I'm not the one who created the form and don't have any templates or anything that were used.
Steve
Acrobat Pro Ver 9.4.5

Steve, if you have access to the form in Formscentral, you can temporarily add a second page in Formscentral. Go to the place you want a page break, and click on the + button on the left top of the field where you want the break, and click on the "Page break". Now when you go to the HTML form it should show you only one page, with a next button to go to the second page. You could then copy the URL into Acrobat's "Create PDF" and get tha page. Then click on the next button in the HTML to go to the second page. You should be able to create the second page from that one too, and then combine the 2 pages in your PDF. When you're done you could remove the page break back in Formscentral.
Hope that helps
