Dynamic dropdown in Acrobat?

Small business owner. Trying to create dynamic dropdowns in pdf that I open and fill with an ipad for on-site estimates. I know nothing about java, but I need a dropdown box that repopulates after a different one has a value selected: ie, Box one is material for a deck and box two is a color selection. How can I make this happen? I found this link which is virtually identical to what I want minus the label changes. (http://jsfiddle.net/e9XvP/) How can I incorporate this into a PDF?

Can I create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or do I have to buy Acrobat Pro?

I am researching options for the company I work for to take it's invoicing system paperless and I need to know if I can create a custom-scripted dynamic stamp in Acrobat Standard or is that possible only in Acrobat Pro?

You can create a custom dynamic stamp in Std. and Pro. and you can use the dynamic stamp in Reader as well. Here is an infographic on Creating a Custom Dynamic Stamp in Acrobat XI.

Dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X

Help needed!
How to create own dynamic stamps with Acrobat Pro X, without any knowledge of programming.
It was very easy with the program used before (Nuance); unfortunally it's not possible to export from Nuance to Acrobat.
Thanks in advance
vtosi

It can't be done without using a script, and not a very simple one, either.
There are detailed tutorials about how to do it, for example here:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials
If you're interested in someone to create the stamp (and all the required
scripts) for you, feel free to contact me by PM or at [email protected] .

Implementing a dynamic dropdown list

Hi All,
I am implementing an Adaptive RFC model that uses two custom RFC's. First RFC returns a table that has list of countries and the second RFC returns a table that lists the states of a particular country.
Now using these two RFC's how do I implement a dynamic dropdown...i mean the first dropdown should show the list of countries and the second dropdown should show the list of states depending on the country selected.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Please try this,
IWDNodeInfo multiplenode = multipleinfo.addChild("MultiNode" , null, true, false, true, true, false, true, null, null, null);
multiplenode.addAttribute("roles", "ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string");
Assign values for Dropdown
IWDNode node1 = wdContext.nodeNodeA().getChildNode("MultiNode", IWDNode.NO_SELECTION);
IWDNodeElement elem1;
for(int s=0;s<5;s++){
elem1 = node1.createElement();
elem1.setAttributeValue("roles","Value"+s);
node1.addElement(elem1);
Inside Domodifyview create IWDDropDownByIndex UI Element and Bind it.
IWDDropDownByIndex dropDownList = (IWDDropDownByIndex)view.createElement(IWDDropDownByIndex.class, "drop");
IWDAttributeInfo info = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getChild("NodeA").getChild("MultiNode").getAttribute("roles");
dropDownList.bindTexts(info);
dropDownList.setWidth("100");

Search issue with dynamic dropdown array - PHP

I'm currently trying to set up a search with a couple of
dynamic dropdowns, basically to search for cars - so the parent
list is car make, and the child is car model.
I've gotten as far as a page with the dynamic array working,
but not the search :
dynamic array
working
(Ignore the cars and vans radio buttons)
For testing there's an Audi A3 and and Audi A6, but this
search doesn't work.
The select code looks like :
<select name="Model">
<option value="" <?php if (!(strcmp("",
$row_rsModels['Model']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";}
?>>Select a Model</option>
</select>
And the array code looks like :
<?php
if ($row_rsModels) {
echo "<SC" . "RIPT>\n";
echo "var WAJA = new Array();\n";
$oldmainid = 0;
$newmainid = $row_rsModels["Make"];
if ($oldmainid == $newmainid) {
$oldmainid = "";
$n = 0;
while ($row_rsModels) {
if ($oldmainid != $newmainid) {
echo "WAJA[".$n."] = new Array();\n";
echo "WAJA[".$n."][0] = '".WA_DD_Replace($newmainid)."';\n";
$m = 1;
echo "WAJA[".$n."][".$m."] = new Array();\n";
echo "WAJA[".$n."][".$m."][0] =
"."'".WA_DD_Replace($row_rsModels["ModelID"])."'".";\n";
echo "WAJA[".$n."][".$m."][1] =
"."'".WA_DD_Replace($row_rsModels["Model"])."'".";\n";
$m++;
if ($oldmainid == 0) {
$oldmainid = $newmainid;
$oldmainid = $newmainid;
$row_rsModels = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsModels);
if ($row_rsModels) {
$newmainid = $row_rsModels["Make"];
if ($oldmainid != $newmainid) {
$n++;
echo "var rsModels_WAJA = WAJA;\n";
echo "WAJA = null;\n";
echo "</SC" . "RIPT>\n";
function WA_DD_Replace($startStr) {
$startStr = str_replace("'", "|WA|", $startStr);
$startStr = str_replace("\\", "\\\\", $startStr);
$startStr = preg_replace("/[\r\n]{1,}/", " ", $startStr);
return $startStr;
?>
..to try and find the root of the problem, I've gotten as far
as a similar page, without the dynamic
array, with the child dropdown populated dynaically from the
recordset :
search working
This seems to work exactly as advertised - all the car models
are listed from the recordset, and if
you search for Audi and A3, then it gets returned correctly.
The select code here looks like :
<select name="Model" id="Model">
<option value="">Select a Model</option>
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo
$row_rsModels['Model']?>"><?php echo
$row_rsModels['Model']?
></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rsModels = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsModels));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($rsModels);
if($rows > 0) {
mysql_data_seek($rsModels, 0);
$row_rsModels = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsModels);
?>
</select>
..so I guess the search is set up OK, but the issue is with
how to pass the model from the select code generated by the dynamic
array correctly....
Its presumably because the option value is empty :
<option value="" <?php if (!(strcmp("",
$row_rsModels['Model']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";}
?>>Select a Model</option>
So I've been trying various possibilities with no joy, such
as :
<?php if (!(strcmp("", $row_rsModels['Model']))) {echo
"selected=\"selected\"";} ?>
but without success.
Even then, I'd have though if the value was empty, "", then
it would return all results, rather than no results....?
hope that makes some sense, and someone can shed some
light...
Cheers.

But how come the class documentation says its possible.
Functionality
Using class CL_SALV_WD_UIE_DROPDOWN_BY_IDX, you make all the settings for the UI element index-based dropdown list box, from which the user can select from a range of values.
*You use the index-based dropdown list box if the dropdown list boxes in each cell of the column are to contain different entries.*
You use the key-based dropdown list box if the dropdown list boxes in each cell of the column are to contain the same entries.
To specify the entries in the dropdown list boxes, the context of your application requires an attribute for which the data type satisfies the following requirements:
The attribute is a table
The structure of this table contains at least one KEY column and a VALUE column.
Note
We recommend that you use the type WDY_KEY_VALUE_TABLE here.

Making a dynamic stamp in Acrobat 10

I tried to follow the instructions for making a dynamic stamp in Acrobat 9 for use in Acrobat 10, but my stamp is static, not dynamic. The date and time stayed the same as when I made it. What is the trick to make this happen. It's very frustrating that it is so hard to make a dynamic stamp. Thank for any assistance anyone can provide.

I've not done that, but here are some links which may help you:

Need Value and labed different for a dynamic Dropdown in an ADF page

Hi,
We have an ADF page with a drop down.
This is populated dynamically.
We have created using the below code.
Issue: what we need is that each value the Label set should be different.
Code : presently hard coded
In the Java file for the page we had the following code:
===========================================================
String haircolor;
SelectItem[] haircolorSelectItems;
ArrayList haircolorlist = new ArrayList();
public PatientAdvSearch() {
haircolorlist.add(new SelectItem("Black"));
haircolorlist.add(new SelectItem("Blonde"));
haircolorlist.add(new SelectItem("Red"));
haircolorlist.add(new SelectItem("Others"));
haircolorlist.add(new SelectItem("Grey"));
SelectItem[] haircolors = (SelectItem[]) haircolorlist.toArray(new SelectItem[0]);
haircolorSelectItems = haircolors;
public void setHaircolor(String haircolor) { this.haircolor = haircolor; }
public String gethaircolor() { return haircolor; }
public SelectItem[] getHaircolorSelectItems() {
return haircolorSelectItems;
===========================================================
And the JSPX will have the following code.
<af:selectOneChoice binding="#{backing_PatientAdvSearch.selectOneChoicerace11}"
id="selectOneChoicerace11"
unselectedLabel="<Select>">
<f:selectItems value="#{backing_PatientAdvSearch.haircolorSelectItems}" />
</af:selectOneChoice>
===========================================================
This populates both Lable and Value for the Select Item with one value.
We need two different value.
How do we go ahead with that.
Thanks

Yes.. actually i am also facing the same prob...
i need value and label to be different for dynamic dropdown.
Please help in case any one has faced the same issue.

Building a dynamic dialog in Acrobat with Javascript

I am attempting to figure out how to build dynamic dialogs within Acrobat using Javascript.
I am attempting to write a generalized PDF page splitter. The user selects a PDF document, and then the script analyzes the open document and determines that there are N pages in the document. I am going to run through the document and make each page its own PDF. Each page will be considered a certain kind of page, for example, Cover, Article, Ad, etc. and the type of page it is will affect the naming convention I use when making the new, one-page file. For example, let's say that pages 36, 37 and 38 are page, ad and article, respectively. Then the names I will be using for each output file will be as follows:
P12345Pg_036.pdf
P12345Ad_037.pdf
P12345Ar_038.pdf
But there is no way for my code to actually look at a given page and decide that it is page, article, ad, or one of four cover types, etc. So I want to build a dialog that looks something like this (assume a O is meant to be a radio button):
Page          Pagetype
1                  O Page      O Inner cover Front         O Outer cover Front     O Ad           O   Article
2
O Page
O Inner cover Front
O Outer cover Front
O Ad
O   Article
3
O Page
O Inner cover Front
O Outer cover Front
O Ad
O   Article
4
O Page
O Inner cover Front
O Outer cover Front
O Ad
O   Article
N
O Page
O Inner cover Front
O Outer cover Front
O Ad
O   Article
Beacuse each document varies in length, that means the dialog will need to be dynamic.
I have looked at the Acrobat API and determined that defining a dialog looks something like this:
var DialogABC = {
                                   initialize: function(dialog){},
                                   commit : function(dialog){},
                                   description:{}
app.execDialog(DialogABC)
What I do not know how to do is create the dialog specification on the fly. Do I treat it as a string or is there some other way of making this happen? How can I make a dynamic description that allows for a variable number of rows?
Please let me know if you have any thoughts. A good reference or example would serve just as well.
TIA!
John

There are two approaches to this:
1. Treating the dialog object as a literal object
2. Treating it as a string
If you treat it as a literal object you can manipulate it like any other object. Each function can be defined separately, and the items in the various arrays can be added or removed as you please.
If you treat it as a string then you can construce that string in a dynamic way, using loops or if-conditions, as you please, and then use the eval() command to convert it to an object when done.
Both approaches are quite complex and require a lot of scripting experience to implement correctly.

Print form with dynamic dropdown

Dear all,
I have a form (xdp) with dynamic dropdown inside. (i.e. The value list is empty in design time)
And I have a problem that the print out (via the sendToPrinter service) will have the data value (e.g. EN) instead of the display value (e.g. English) for all the dynamic dropdown.
Would like to know if there are any solution beside mapping all the values from data value to display value before print?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Bill

I'm also seeking the better solution instead of
a) creating 2 field - one for capture data, one for printing (and it doesn't work using LC ES server component)
b) creating 2 templates - one for capture data, one for printing (maintenance overhead)
Ideally & logically, this should be achieve by using one field since it has already come with the presence & relevant attribute.
Anyway, the main problem, why dropdown data is printed instead of display value?
The user doesn't even know what's the technical data behind the dropdown screen value he/she selected.
From user point of view, nobody wants to see the technical data printed instead of the display value...

Use this code to get all components of internal table.
Then build fieldcatlog.
DATA: tab_return type abap_compdescr_tab,
          components like line of tab_return.
perform get_int_table_fields using    <fs_it> changing tab_return.
loop at tab_return into components.
wa_fldcat-fieldname = components-name.               "Field Name

wa_fldcat-inttype    = components-type_kind.     "Data Type
wa_fldcat-intlen      = components-length.          "Data Lenght
wa_fldcat-decimals = components-decimals.     "Data Decimal Places
append wa_fldcat to it_fldcat.
endloop.
form get_int_table_fields using    t_data type any table
                            changing t_return type abap_compdescr_tab.
   data:
   oref_table type ref to cl_abap_tabledescr,
   oref_struc type ref to cl_abap_structdescr,
   oref_error type ref to cx_root,
   text type string.
*Get the description of data object type
   try.
       oref_table ?=
       cl_abap_tabledescr=>describe_by_data( t_data ).
     catch cx_root into oref_error.
       text = oref_error->get_text( ).
       write: / text.

Create a dynamic dropdown field in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

Hello all. I am trying to create a field in one of my forms using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I have a dropdown list of "main" items, and based on what is selected in that list, I want a second dropdown list to give different choices. I have searched and searched and have javascript that I thought might work, but maybe I am have a mistake or I am placing the javascript in the wrong place, becasue it is not working. I know very, very little about javascript, so any help would be so much appreciated.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I added a "new field", and selected "dropdown". The field name is ProvType. The dropdown options are:
     Inpatient
     Outpatient
     Physician
I have the "Commit selected value immediately" selected.The field is not validated. The format is "none." There are no actions or calculations associated with it.
I then created another dropbox, and named it SubProvType. Under Actions, I selected the trigger as Mouse Up, and then selected the Action "Run a JavaScript." I selected the add button, and typed this in the JavaScript editor:
switch (ProvType.rawValue)
    case "Inpatient":
        this.setItems("Hospice,Hospital,Nursing Facility");
        break;
    case "Outpatient":
        this.setItems("Adult Day Center,Home,Other");
        break;
    case "Physician":
        this.setItems("Surgeon,Family Practice,Neurologist");
        break;
What I want to happen is:
If "Inpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Hospice
     Hospital
     Nursing Facility
If "Outpatient" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Adult Day Center
     Home
     Other
If "Physician" is selected, I want the following options to be available in the second dropdown box "SubProvType":
     Surgeon
     Family Practice
     Neurologist
However.... when I close the form editing and try to select a different option in the ProvType field, the SubProvType field remains blank and there are no options available. There are also no errors.
I must be missing something, but I have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.

dbettis2.... Please understand that everything I am about to tell you is ONLY thanks to the help I received from Gilad D. I don't know if this will help you or not, but I want to try and pass it forward.
If what you are looking to do is have two dropdown fields, and the second one (concentration) be a list determined by what was chosen in the first one (newMajor) then this will work, if you are using Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Create a dropdown field and name it newMajor. In the "options" tab. Make sure that you enter all of the items that you want in that list AND that they match the javascript (or this will not work.)
In this case, I believe you want the initial list to be:
- Select One -
BA - Communication (BACOMM)
BA - History (BAHIST)
BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)
After you create the dropdown field and enter all of the options, go to the Validate tab, chose "run custom validation script", then copy and paste the following:
switch (event.value) {
    case "- Select One -":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["-----"]);
        break;
    case "BA - Communication (BACOMM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Mass Communication (MCO1)","Theatre (THEA)","Communication Studies (MC02)"]);
        break;
    case "BA - History (BAHIST)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Teacher Certification (HIS1)"]);
        break;
    case "BBA - Business Administration (BBA-BADM)":
        this.getField("Concentration").setItems(["- Select One -","None","Supply Chain Management (SCM)","Hospitality Management (HSMG)"]);
        break;
Then create a second dropdown field, and name it Concentration. Nothing further needs to be done with the second dropdown field (as far as entering options or any javascript.)
It should work. I have created a form using this code and field structure, and it is working. I hope this helps you, if in fact this is what you were trying to do. (I do not know how to attach a file to this post or I would send you the PDF that I made so you could see the fields. If you message me, I can send it to you.)

Dynamic Dropdown Field is blank

I am using LiveCycle Designer 8.05<br /><br />And I am trying to create a dropdown form populated dynamically I guess from an .xml file.(Unless there is a better method)<br /><br />Basically I need to be able to have people update the contents of dropdown field but they wont have access to do it directly in designer<br />So I want them just to be able to update the .xml data.<br /><br />So I had this for the .xml<br /><br />___CODE___<br /><br /><?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?><br /><br /><vehicles<br /> xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"<br /> xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation = "rank.xsd"<br /> ><br /> <nickname>E1</nickname><br /> <nickname>E2</nickname><br /> <nickname>E3</nickname><br /></vehicles><br /><br />___END_CODE___<br /><br />This is the .xsd schema<br /><br />___CODE___<br /><br /><?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?><br /><br /><xsd:schema<br /> xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"<br /> ><br /> <xsd:element name = "vehicles"><br /> <xsd:complexType><br /> <xsd:sequence><br /> <xsd:element name = "nickname" <br /> type = "xsd:string"<br /> maxOccurs = "unbounded"/><br /> </xsd:sequence><br /> </xsd:complexType><br /> </xsd:element><br /></xsd:schema><br /><br />___END_CODE___<br /><br />I have Show Dynamic Properties On<br /><br />I add a dropdown box<br />I go to the binding tab<br />Click Default Binding<br />Select XML Schema<br />Select the.xsd file from above<br />Click Embed<br />Click Finish<br /><br />Click specify item values<br />In the dynamic properties it says<br />Binding:<br />Items $record.nickname[*]<br />Item Text the only option is a dollar sign<br />Item Value the only option is adollar sign<br /><br />I click OK<br /><br />Save it as a dynamic xml form <br />Open it and the dropdown is blank.<br /><br />I feel like I have tried a thousand different variations but nothing works<br />I either end up with a blank dropdown or the dropdown gets converted to a text field and it is blank.<br /><br />Could anyone shed some light on my problem?<br />Thanks

Hi guys,
I don't think, that it is possible to change the values of the dropdown by changing only the xml-file.
I found another solution:
1. open the form in Acrobat Pro
2. select in the menu bar Form->Manage Form Data->Import Data
3. choose your current xml-file
4. save the form
Now the values are available.
To change the values, you have to repeat these 4 steps with a new xml-file.
regards
Martin

Autopopulate Dynamic Dropdown Field LC Designer

I am trying to autopopulate dynamically created dropdown fields within another section of a form.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a report (home inspection) that is also an estimate for repairs. I have several section of the report that have a button to add additional items (e.g. Kitchen, Living Room, ect). The button dynamically adds new items for each area (e.g. Kitchen, Living Room, ect). Code is below, what I want to do is have all of the dynamically created items appear in the estimate section of the report but am not able to figure out the best way to do this. Basically, all of the items that appear in the report also need to be in the estimate and I need to figure out a way to have the items duplicated from the report to the estimate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi guys,
I don't think, that it is possible to change the values of the dropdown by changing only the xml-file.
I found another solution:
1. open the form in Acrobat Pro
2. select in the menu bar Form->Manage Form Data->Import Data
3. choose your current xml-file
4. save the form
Now the values are available.
To change the values, you have to repeat these 4 steps with a new xml-file.

Mail values from dynamic dropdown

Hi all,
need your help to solve a problem.
With LCD, I create a form with a dropdown listbox and a send button.
If I maintain the values directly in LCD, everything works fine. The mail contains an XML with the chosen value.
I've also find out, how to read the value dynamically from an XML.
But when I do both, the XML contains the entire list instead of the selected value.
Does anybody have a solution?
Thanks and regards
Martin

Hi
This should provide you the clue.
Eg;
*// Call the function module to send mail notification
      CALL FUNCTION 'ZHR_EMAIL_SEND_NOTIFCATION' IN BACKGROUND TASK AS SEPARATE UNIT
        EXPORTING
          im_pernr = ipspar-pernr
          im_massn = ipspar-massn
          im_massg = ipspar-massg
          im_begda = ipspar-begda
          im_endda = ipspar-endda.
In this example, the preparation and sending the mail is done in the FM which is called in SEPERATE UNIT (different logical unit of work), so that, dynamic actions and mail sending are seperated and work in different space.
