Do InDesign table fields convert to form fields for interactive PDFs?

Does InDesign CC recognize table fields as form fields when creating fillable form PDFs - or do I have to create individual text fields on top of the InDesign table and assign form field text field characteristic in the buttons and forms menu?

I don't believe InDesign itself will apply any form of automated recognition to table cells...BUT...Acrobat's form field recognition certainly picks up empty table cells and assigns them as text-input fields.

How to Map Proces form field with Resource form field?

Hi,
How to Map Proces form field with Resource form field while creating Process form in Form designer

Are you talking about Provisioning ?
then you do that in Data Flow under Process Defintion in OIM 10g
In OIM 11g you use Request Dataset. In that you can directly map fields to process form.

WHICH FND TABLE KEEPS TRACK OF FORMS FIELDS ?

At the database level forms by application are kept in FND_FORM table. Columns and tables that are used in the specific application are stored in FND_TABLES, FND_COLUMNS, FND_APPLICATION_TL. By joining these tables it is possible to get tables, columns by application info. Also there is HR_FORM_ITEMS table where configurable form fields are stored by application and by form_id.
Which table stores by application_id, form_id columns/tables that are defined in each form ?

There are no such tables, as You only register the form but not individual blocks and columns used. The table registration API, on the tables You mentioned store only table definitions at database level. The case for HR is for a specific functionality and only serves that purpose, but not other forms in the hrms family store that info.

Table like structure with form fields

In flash - How can we organize the form fields like a HTML
table dynamically?

Since performance may be an issue when hitting BSEG table
Any of the below accounting tables can be used.
1.BSAD
2.BSAK
3.BSAS
4.BSID
5.BSIK
6.BSIS
These are normal database tables, not clusters. Normally every record from BSEG can be found in one of these 6 tables. The program which selects data
From these tables runs faster than from BSEG.
Plz reward if helpful.

Form with report, update field in the form = field is not updated in table

Hi,
I have a form with report. On Primary Key in the report is a link to the form. I select one row in the form by choosing the link in the report. Then I update a field in the form and press "Save". I see the success message "Action processed" and I'll be back in the report. I see the field in the report with it's old content. It is not updated. I don't understand why. Can anybody help me?
Thanks Daniela

Daniela,
Is the form field source set to the proper database column? It's either not properly defined or your Save button and the builtin update process have somehow become disconnected. Check to make sure that the Save button is set to perform an Update in the database operations setting.

Pupulating two database fields from one form field

Hopefully an easy query for someone with more experience than
me!!!
I have set up a form (PHP page) to add new users to a table
in a MySQL database. So far, so good.
The problem is that I want to use the value entered in one of
the form fields (Email) to populate two different fields in the
table (username and email). I realise that this is redundant, but
it is necessary for other reasons that I won't go into here...
I've tried using a hidden input field for username, but I'm
just not sure what I need to specify for 'value'...
The code for the input field is:
<input name="Email" type="text" class="RequiredInput"
value="" size="32">
and the code for the hidden input is:
<input type="hidden" name="username" value=Email>
As you can see, this puts the text 'Email' in the field,
rather than the value of the Email input...

When I try an post a reply with the code attached I get this
screen:

Update OIM field with process form fields

Hi,
I have configured AD as a target resource to my OIM. Now i have a requirement to update few fields of OIM , on the basis of change in the fields of process form when target recon will run. For this, as per my understanding i can use the post insert/post update adapter. I wrote the adapter code as well. But when now i am running the recon against my resource, and updating the field, it couldn't even run the adapter as nothing has been written in logs (not even the println statements mentioned in adapter code :( ). Could anyone please tell me where i am missing.

Hi,
I did create a task and assign it on "Event Processed" (Response) under reconciliation insert recieved and reconciliation update recieved. Now when i tried to run recon it is giving me error while processing the recon event. Error is "An error occured while processing the off lined reconciliation event. [xellerate.jms] processing reconciliation message with id <recon event id> failed" . Am i missing something.... Please help
TIA

In InDesign, how can I name individual cells in a table for interactive PDFs?

Hi, I'm creating interactive PDFs for a client that include tables with empty cells that will be populated afterwards (depending on what information a customer puts in on a form).
The forms are created in InDesign and exported as interactive PDFs, but I need to be able to name the live fields (in InDesign) before I export the Interactive PDF, so that I don't have to select each indivual field in the final PDF and rename them.
The reason I want to be able to do this pre-PDF production, is because the forms will be rebranded over and over again and I don't want to have to rename hundreds of cells time and time again in Acrobat Pro.
The deveopler who's populating the cells already has predefined names for them, so I can's simply give him the names that Acrobat automatically defines.

What version of InDesign are you using? If CS6 or CC, you can add fields and enter a name for each in the Name field of the Buttons and Forms panel.

Forms Warning with Interactive PDF from InDesign

Hi all,
I have created an interactive PDF in InDesign CS5 with a series of buttons, and those buttons link to bookmarked pages within the document. These buttons are setup on one of the Masters. It seems that whenever I get more than 10 buttons on the master, I get the following warning when I open the exported PDF in Adobe Reader:
"Please Note: You cannot save a completed copy of this form on your computer. If you would like a copy for your records, Please fill it in and print it"
I don't have any form fields in the document that I am aware of. Is there any way to locate form fields if they do in fact exist?
Is there a limit of 10 buttons per master perhaps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glen

Thanks Peter.
Is there a known workaround? I ended up using hyperlinks instead, I suppose there really is more than one way to skin a cat.

New user ?'s-indesign magazine template/convert to folio? how interactive?

i want to start playing with indesign and i've never used it.
my question is, can i convert a magazine template from the adobe market place into a folio file?
what i want to do is an interactive file just like the content authoring ad video examples on the content authoring page on adobe.
my other thought is can you import flash animations or other interactive files?
one of the things i'd like to do is when your finger swipes across the tablet, that an animation graph of numbers are being displayed.
maybe when you double tap a photo it breaks up to reveal the photo underneath.
any help are pointing in the right direction.
i've looked on active den but i have no idea what is i'm looking for is called.

InDesign is a professional application that takes time and effort to learn, let alone master.
What you are trying to do is akin to buying an airplane and expecting to be able to fly it.
So back up for a moment and buy Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide: http://amzn.to/sJlBkt
You should also consider a subscription to Lynda.com. This link will give you a free one week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI
As for your questions, Flash is out of the question with tablet publishing. It simply won't work, but there are way around just about everything. But you need to walk before you can run.
Finally, your questions are more about Digital Publishing Suite than InDesign. There is a dedicated forum for that: http://forums.adobe.com/community/dps

How do I make a Full screen button in inDesign for interactive PDF?

I posted this question in the inDesign forum and someone told me to post it in the Acrobat forums.
I would like to make a button in inDesign to give users the option to view a PDF at Full Screen. Much like the button the inDesign Magazine PDFs have.
Thank you for any help!
Best,

How do I add a Acrobat button to my inDesign button? I created a button in inDesign with a rollover feature and I want to preserve this feature in Acrobat. Can I apply some type of "invisble" button in Acrobat with a Acrobat JavaScript action?

Not able to assemble two interactive PDF forms to form a single interactive PDF

Hi,
I am trying to assemble two interactive PDF forms to form a single PDF. I am using LiveCycle process with Assembler and Invoke ddx file for this. But the resultant PDF is a flattened non interactive file.
Please guide me in obtaining a interactive PDF from two interactive PDFs.
Thanks in Advance,
Shabeer

Sabeer,
type of output document depends on the type of base document.
if base document is flatten\non-intractive, then you will recieve flatten\non-intractive form nd vise versa
ddx,
<PDF result="doc3.pdf" >
<PDF source="doc1.pdf"/> 
<PDF source="doc2.pdf"/>
</PDF>

Creating a Randomizer/Shuffle Button for interactive PDF in InDesign CS6 (PC)

I'm creating a set of flashcards in InDesign CS6 (on a PC) so there are two sides (question then answer). I'd like them to "flip over" using an interactive PDF. That's not the problem - the tough part is linking the two sides (ie pages) together and creating a "randomizer" button so the user can shuffle the deck of flashcards in a new order while keeping the question and answer pages of each card together. Is that possible with an interactive PDF? I'd appreciate any info! The company is printing the flashcards and then offering them in a digital format to it would be great to be able to use one document for both purposes.

Sorry, this is not possible in an interactive PDF file.
You could probably do with SWF. You could probably include it a tablet app using HTML5 and JavaScript.
But not in PDF.

How do I transfer text from a form field to another form field in different PDFs?

To clarify, I have a PDF form that is sent to me and has all of the text/data already filled out. I now have to transfer a majority of that data to a new PDF form. This isn't really that bad on a case by case basis, but sometimes it can be a large batch of files.
Is it possible to use the "Action Wizard" to accomplish this or will I have to use some sort of javascript?
Any guidance is very much appreciated.

If the fields that hold the same data in both forms have identical field names, you can simply export the form data from the first to an FDF file and import it into the other form. Exactly how you do this depends on which versio of Acrobat you have.
