Dropdown boxes selection-additional form field

FormsCentral -->Templates tab --> Trade Seminar R.S.V.P Form ( https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=fFzLm5nQP1QqDDU2UeQTsw&preview# )
In this form there is a feature I would like to create in one of my forms. Under "meals" if you select "other" an extra form field appears...how do I create this?
Thx!

When you create the drop down there is a "Include Other Choice" option on the field property panel - check it.

INDEED HELPFUL FOR MY PROJECT PLEASE SEND ATTACHED PDF FORM

Hi Praveen,
Your form is not shared so I have not been able to access it. But I have updated mine. There are now two approaches, one that follows on from the above method and updates each drop down list in each row. The second updates a separate dataset that the drop down list is bound to. This second approach requires the remerge() method which can cause problems if your code has updates some form properties like a borders color as these will be reset, but the code is simplier and you will only have one list to maintain. The add button click code is;
var particulars = xfa.datasets.resolveNode("particulars");
if (particulars === null)
    particulars = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup","particulars");
    xfa.datasets.nodes.append(particulars);
var particular = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","particular");
particular.value = ItemName.rawValue;
var boundValue = xfa.datasets.createNode("dataValue","id");
boundValue.value = BoundValue.rawValue;
particular.nodes.append(boundValue);
boundValue.contains = "metaData";
// find sorted position to insert
for (var i = 0; i < particulars.nodes.length; i++)
    p = particulars.nodes.item(i);
    if (p.value > particular.value)
      particulars.nodes.insert(particular, p);
             break;
// add to end if greater than all existing items
if (particular.parent === null)
    particulars.nodes.append(particular);
// clear source fields
ItemName.rawValue = null;
BoundValue.rawValue = null;
// remerge form data to pick up new item
xfa.form.remerge();
And the binding looks like;
I have updated my sample to include both methods, https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=OwysfJa-Q3HhPtFlgRb62g

Can we selectively flatten form fields in a PDF file?

I have a PDF with some form fields in it. I want to selectively flatten a few form fields in the PDF using a java API. I have checked the documentation and found a method transformPDF in the OutputServiceService. But this method flattens all the form fields in the PDF document.
Can we selectively flatten form fields in a PDF file? If yes how?
This was possible in Adobe Document Server V6.
Regards,
Ragha

You will need an event in the form that will indicate that you want the flattening done. Once you determine what that is it is simply a single statement for each field:
fieldname.access = "readOnly";
Now when the form is rendered, the user will not be able to get access to these fields.

Get values based on Dropdown box selection-Important

Hi All,
In first table, i have an two textfields one is for "item no" and other is "item desc" and in the second table I have an "dropdown box" and "item desc".
Whatever is entered in the "item no" its populating in the "dropdown box", when an dropdown is selected any item that item desc should be displayed.
For example: In first table
Item no Item Desc
item 1   abc
item 2   def
item 3   ghi
and in the second table
Dropdown box   Item desc
item 2   def
item 3   ghi
When am selecting item2 in dropdown box the related text is not getting dispalyed. And moreover the using instindex and the value is populating 0, below is the script
var Instindex = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.Subform1.Table1.Row2.Calculation").rawValue;
app.alert(Instindex);
var my_concatcomm = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.Itemtable.Table2.Row2[" + Instindex + "].EnterItemDescription").rawValue
var my_concatcomm = "Page1.Itemtable.Table2.Row2["+ 3 +"].EnterItemDescription"
app.alert("Index value::"+ xfa.resolveNode(my_concatcomm).rawValue);
Can anybody please help me on this.
Thank you for your help in advacne

Yes one more thing, i do not want any buttons or anyother webitem to be clicked to get this. this should be set with some commands if avilalbe or some other guess ?

then based on the choices above the
second cascading list box has the various people's names from the first list box (can select more than 1 person)(separate List )

and selection 2 dropdown doesnt lookup into selection 1. but they do have a related column.

How to display data in tableview based on a dropdown filter selection

Hi All,
I have implemented a flow logic based BSP page to display the SFLIGHTS table when I open this page it displays all records in the table SFLIGHTS. I would like the set a drop down box filter on CARRID and CONNIND. Only once the user selects the CARRID and CONNID and presses on display buttont the data for that selection in the drop down box should be displayed.
Can you kindly share the code how I can put 2 drop down boxes and make the data retrieval on the page occur based on the dropdown box selection. The layout page is as below. Appreciate if you could kindly share the code to implement this.
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page>
    <htmlb:form>
      <htmlb:tableView id              = "tv1"
                       visibleRowCount = "10"
                       selectionMode   = "lineEdit"
                       table           = "<%= flights %>"
                       filter = "SERVER"
                       sort = "server"
                       iterator        = "<%= iterator %>" />
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
Thanks

Yeh Karen,
What i have written is that only.. ok fine i will tell you in detail ok...
first what you do is if ur wrking with MVC concept in *do request * add the code for the dropdown as
select single connid from sflights into wa_sflights.
this code will give you the coniid in the dropdown ok
if you not wrking with MVC ,if its just a Flow with page login then write the same code in Oninitialization
now if you select the connid from the dropdown and you want to display the details of the that connid in the tableview .. rite?
then in do handle event write the code when i have written before if itsnot MVC add in oninputProcessing
DATA: HTMLB_EVENT TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_EVENT,
W_ID TYPE STRING,
W_VARIABLE TYPE STRING,
tvdata TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW.
IF HTMLB_EVENT IS NOT INITIAL.
W_ID = HTMLB_EVENT->ID.
IF W_ID EQ 'dd_project_name' . ------>this is the name of the dropdown
    DATA ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA( REQUEST = RUNTIME->SERVER->REQUEST
                         NAME = 'dropdownListBox'
                         ID = 'dd_project_name' ).
    IF DATA IS NOT INITIAL.
      W_variable = DATA->SELECTION.
    ENDIF.
if w_variable is not initial.
select * from sflights into table lt_flights where connid eq w_variable.
endif.
now in the view you should
<htmlb:tableView id = "tv1"
visibleRowCount = "10"
selectionMode = "lineEdit"
table = "<%= lt_flights %>"
filter = "SERVER"
sort = "server" />
Hope it works fine

Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

Hi there,
I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful. Here it is:
I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields. I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields. I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page. I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better.
I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing. The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.
Beth

Hi Beth
How big are these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

Printing form fields only on Reader

Before I get to the meat, a little background. We are in the process of converting all of our forms into PDFs so to keep everything the same across the company. My company is a contract packager, and we ship out many items. We have purchased forms for Bills of Lading and Packing slips that have duplicate copies for the back.
We would like to be able to scan the form into the computer, and create a PDF with text fields to type in the information, but then only print the form field data. Basically, I want the form to show up on the computer screen but only print the data that's entered. With Acrobat, I can select in the printer box to print form fields only, but when I put the form on the system and tried it on a computer that only has Reader it doesn't give me the option of printing the fields only. (I'm the only computer that has and uses Acrobat).
I'm not a programmer of any sorts, but is there a way to have Reader do what I want it to?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Bret

Hello Eveyone
My solution for this is simple
In Adobe Pro, go to menu bar in:
Documente-->
Backgroup-->
Add and Replace or Update
in Apperance select
Apperance Options
remove the check for "SHOW WHEN PRINTING"
This solved the problem to print forms with background in your company.
GOOD LUCK

Dropdown help on Interactive form in Web Dynpro ABAP.

Hi all,
we are creating an SAP Interactive forms for the Material Master Creation.
We want the value help to be displayed in dropdown boxes for various mandatory fields to be filled up by the user.
Please suggest how to do that??
These helps are there when we create a material master through Transaction mm01.

Hi Sasidhar,
Could you please clarify.
I had taken a value node in the Context of the view for the field for which i have to display the value help.
I have also bound this value node to the dropdown list on the form by specifying it in the binding tab. Still i am not getting the help.
Do we have to write some code for that in the method tab of the view??

Dropdown boxes do not work on Firefox 5.0.

When using the address bar or any dropdown box on Firefox, the drop down menu flashes but will not stay open so that I can use it. I do not have this issue in IE. I have started Firefox in Safe Mode and the dropdown boxes still did not work.
I can't even use the dropdown box on this form.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

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?

Select all the form fields , select first the hold shift key and select the rest Then right click or control click and choose properties. then look for "Fonts" choose desired font. If this works your all set otherwise you will have to choose each indivually and change.

Form fields remain interactive after form is saved

I have built a number of forms by importing static pdf's in to Live Cycle and applying the form fields and scripts there. Now I am finding that if I save the form and then go to Acrobat XI to enable the form so that Adobe Reader users can fill it out, then when they do fill out the form and save it the result still has all of the interactive form fields of the original form.
The objective would be that the user opens the interactive pdf, fills it out, hits a Save As button, and the form will save as a static copy with their information in it and the original interactive pdf will remain and can be closed without saving their personal data.
I do have the option of forcing the user to print instead of save, but the user is then prompted if they want to save changes when they finish printing and go to close the original.
This was not an issue previously, so I would like to know exactly what I am missing in this very basic step.

Hi;
All of the fields in the downloaded "response PDF" are marked "Read Only". You can change this using Acrobat by editing the form and unchecking the "Read Only" box in the form field Properties dialog box.
Thanks,

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.
