Embedding HTML4 tags to Form Fields in IDM?

Hi, I've been trying to add the <Div> tag to a SortingTable field without success,
I tried inserting before a field of display class Html, but this doesn't work, I've tried other ways but it doesn't work either. Showing the result HTML code appears like:
<tr>
        <td class="formevenrow" colspan="2">
            <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
                <tr>
                    <td class="formevenrow" nowrap="nowrap">
                        <Div id="results_table002" class="tableResult"></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="formoddrow" colspan="2">
            <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
                <tr>
                    <td class="formoddrow" nowrap="nowrap">
                      <input type='hidden' name='resul table_page' value='true'>
                        <table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='1'width='100%'>
...the expected result is:
    <tr>
        <td class="formoddrow" colspan="2">
          <Div id="results_table002" class="tableResult">
            <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>
                <tr>
                    <td class="formoddrow" nowrap="nowrap">
                        <input type='hidden' name='resul table_page' value='true'>
                        <table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='1' width='100%'>
...Any ideas?
Thanks

I don't really understand what you are trying to do, but I thought I should make the comment that you want to be wary when using the <Div> tag. I was trying to add a login image to the login page of the user interface (like there is on the admin interface). My first attempt involved duplicating the structure of the admin login.jsp in the user login.jsp, which used a <Div> tag.
My solution worked fine in Firefox but I got a really weird error in IE: when a user was redirected to the force password change screen, the bottom of the page was sometimes cut off: that part of the page included the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons... so as you can imagine, that was a problem...
I got around this by using a bit of javascript to print a custom class tag ONLY when the page is the login, ie:
<%-- Instead of this:
<td class="mainbody">
Do this: --%>
<%
if ("login.jsp".equalsIgnoreCase(p.getPageName())) {
out.write("<td class=\"customUserLogin\">\n");
else {
out.write("<td class=\"mainbody\">\n");
%>
And then I just specified what i wanted for this class in CustomStyle.css.
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but you might be able to try something similar. Hope it helps!

Embedded SWF in PDF, "form" text transfer to said SWF

Thanks in advance for your help.

How to have a SWF (embedded in PDF) load a form text field: "value" ?
Objective: given;
~ SWF is embedded in a PDF
~ form field in PDF = "name1"
Coding task;
how to script the SWF's text field so that it can use the PDF's form text field
while embeded in the PDF (that has a form field / "value").
many thanks

ActionScript in the SWF has direct access to the Acrobat JavaScript model through the ExternalInterface object.

Adding form fields breaks tag structure

I have been teaching workshops at my university on creating accessible PDF forms from MS Word. I am very familiar with PDF accessibility. For the most part, the process of field recognition, marking up tables, writing tooltips, manipulating the tag tree, etc., all goes smoothly. I have noticed something that is creating a lot more work for our people, however.
After adding forms to the tagged PDF using recognition and the Tools > Forms > Add New Field tool, we adjust the field tab order and add tooltips. Once all of that is in place and we are ready to fine tune, we click the Tools > Accessibility > Add Form Fields to Tags button. Adding Form Fields to Tags does not work consistently if you edit the tag structure manually while in the Forms creation process. You can do some tag remediation prior to entering the Forms tool, but if you edit the tag structure while in Forms, the Adding Form Fields to Tags often does nothing -- this is certainly a bug in Acrobat X but it is not hard to work around.
The larger problem is that after we click Add Form Fields to Tags button, the tag structure reveals itself to be very much distorted and extreme amounts of tag structure remediation is required. Here are three screen shots that illustrate the point.
This first image shows the on-screen appearance.
Below is the expanded tags tree, prior to adding fields to the tag structure:
The tag structure is clean and elegant. If I were to publish this, no remediation would be necessary.
And here is the tag structure after adding form fields:
What has happened is Acrobat has grabbed recognized form fields and other elements in the document and has jammed them into the tag structure. Other things are affected as well. For example, headings in the page have extra, redundant textruns in them.
This has radically negatively affected the tag structure, requiring the author to do lots of remediation.
Any recommendations? solutions? similar experiences?
It seems obvious to me that this is a flaw in Acrobat that needs to be addressed, if accessibility is a goal. Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong??

Hi Daver1111,
Nope. No answer and nothing from Adobe.
I know something is going really really wrong, too: We have a product called CommonLook. It's an enterprise-level PDF accessibility remediation tool. It works well in fixing most structural problems in PDF through a relatively easy to use interface--you just drag textruns and elements around. It also has some tools that automate cleanup for accessibility.
I have no problem using this tool 99% of the time, but when I use it on forms I have made in Acrobat, the CommonLook plugin hangs when I try to save the PDF. It identifies a "structural error" in the PDF and crashes, leaving the PDF unchanged.
You can change the PDF in Acrobat by spending time moving around and creating new elements and deleting extra textruns and such, but, wow, what a royal pain in the *** that is!
Since no one is from Adobe is responding, I'm going to file a bug report.
Cheers,
ken

Publicly sharing PDF's with form fields, tags and bookmars.

I'm looking to be able to share a PDF document so that my coworkers are able to acces this document. I'm very aware of various ways to share the PDF, via email or Google Docs, but I need some sort of hosting that will support form fields, tags and bookmarks. It would be very beneficial if everyone would be able to access the PDF after 'sharing' and viewing on a URL. But, I really need them to be able to search and navigate easily through the bookmarks and buttons. We need this shared via internet because sharing the PDF document itself to each individual employe's computer, runs the risk of slowing computers down. Is there anything I can use, some sort of hosting site or program similar to Google Docs that will support these features?

Note The Adobe PDFviewer requires that users to use Safari or Webkit based Browsers only.
All gecko based browsers will not work. Adobe made conscious decision when OSX came out Not support gecko based browsers.
So if you have any of the following Gecko based Browsers you have to use another plugin.
SeaMonkey (equivelent to the Communicator All-in-one)
FireFox
Camino
OmniWeb
Opera and others.
You have to use a Plugin from a fellow named Schubert of Germany, called PDFBrowser Plugin
It supports all Browsers except Internet Explorer. Makes no difference whether gecko or webkit based. The plugin author is banned by Adobe from putting in forms support.
And using Apple's Preview will absolute corrupt a PDF Form making it unusable if opened in Reader or Acrobat after being viewed and saved in Preview.

Add form fields to tags - not working

I have a fillable form with one simple text form field. I run the "Advanced > Accessibility > Add form fields to tags" but the tags do not change. After I run the command it is grayed out so it looks like it's done. I can save, close and reopen to make that command available again, but it never affects the tags and the accessibility check continues to give the error.
Anyone have that problem or know how to fix it? I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.3.3
Thanks!

Rather than use TORU for form fields why not use the "Find" feature on the Options menu from the Tags panel?
Find "Unmarked Annotations" then use the Tag Element button on the Find Element dialog.
Select "Form" for the element ("tag").
Add something useful to the "Title" field.
[edit: n.b., this method lets you avoid putting a marquee down that inadvertently encompasses undesired text]
This won't affect use of AT but gives you something to locate as you look over the structure tree.
This method puts the <Form> element at the bottom of the structure tree; so, the elements would have to be manually moved to the proper location in the structure.
Alternatively, place focus on the appropriate parent element for the PDF page content.
The new <Form> element will be placed there - still may have to adjust it location in the structure tree - just closer to that location.
As to working within the structure tree when adding elements.
Yes, best practice that.
TORU - Read Order provides a gross/macro view via the highlight(s) and element desination.
Read Order should, in almost all cases, be harmonized to the structure tree's logical hierarchy.
You may find use of the in-line grouping element <Span> useful.
Be well...

Form Field Appear on Value Entered

I am running Coldfusion 9 and building a website using Dreamweaver from CS5.
Is there a way to make a form field appear only if a certain value was entered into the previous form field? If so how? For example I am creating a registration page and one of the form fields is "Property Type" where the user can choose from "Residential, Commercial, Other" from a drop down menu and if the user chooses "Commercial" I want an additional field to pop up for the user to enter a value in "Company Name"??? Thanks for your help

WolfShade,
My apologizes for posting this question in the wrong forum. Since I have already started the discussion here I will ask you my question here still. I put in the lines of code you suggested however when I go to the drop down list and select "Commercial" no text input box appears for the Company Name field. If you have a min I will post my code below. Your help is very much appreciated. I should let you know I also tried adding the on change to the actual option tag for commerical i.e <option onChange...>Commercial</option> and still did not appear. I put the work area in red text hope it helps.

Expanding Text to fit expanding form field

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have embedded some text fields in paragraphs which are dynamic and adjust but now I am having a hard time getting the text within the paragraph to adjust to the form field. Is there a way I can do this? Sorry if this is a simple question.

what you need is flooting field in the running text. You can use as many flooting fields as you need in text. Focus in that direction.

Weird behavior in form fields

I have a problem when trying to enter text in a form (on any webpage) or enter text in the Google search bar embedded in the top section of my Firefox browser. This also happens in a form field if I hit the <Enter> key.
When I start typing sometimes the Firefox "Find bar" opens or I get other strange behavior and am not able to type in the form. Several times when I try to start entering text in a form random text on the webpage is highlighted and the browser freezes up.
I confirmed that "Search for text when I start typing" is unchecked as is explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Quick%20find%20bar%20opens%20when%20typing%20in%20text%20fields?esab=a&as=aaq.
Any ideas what in the world could be going on and how I can fix this issue?
System information:
Firefox 16.0.2
Windows 7
Thanks much.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

You can also try to reset Firefox:

Is there a way to set up a form field in pages?

I would like to add a form field to document similar to Microsoft Word, (the little gray box that you put the cursor in and add text later). I am templating a medical report and would typically use form field boxes, (in MS WOrd), for the areas where I will dictate text into at the time the reports are dictated.
Any assistance appreciated.
Thanks,
Dr. S.

I think this is an unfortunate miscommunication of the term ”form," and I believe it has prematurely obstructed a proper answer to your problem.
Pages can place and define text (or other media) in a template as a placeholder block. Unlike MS Word, it does not incorporate form controls or macros to achieve this functionality.
You would position these placeholder blocks where they are needed within your document template. When you create a new document from this template, your boilerplate would have these embedded placeholder blocks, with their inherent instructions for content completion.
Try the following in your Pages > Help:

Is there a sensible way to import form fields from an old pdf into a new pdf?

I'm working with Acrobat X Pro on a Windows PC platform. I've been working with a file that was originally created in CorelDraw X3, in landscape orientation. That document was then saved as a pdf and set up with many form fields (it's an order form). The document needed to be updated with minor changes made in the Corel file. I resaved as a pdf and now want to transfer the existing form fields from the old document into the newly revised one. I've tried copy/paste, but have to do small sections at a time because the program doesn't let me bring in all of the fields at the same time. I then tried Document > Replace page, which I've seen described in other forum posts; but when I do that, the entire set of fields comes in rotated at 90 degrees counterclockwise. I did read that if the original document was created in a different orientation, that could affect how the fields paste in, but that is not the case here. The original file, and all successive pdf files all have been the same orientation. I'm boggled and think that there has to be an easier way than copying fields, a section at a time, and resizing them all over again.
This older post is pretty similar to what I am trying to do, but it seems I'm getting a different end result. Any suggestions?
Create fillable form with changing source document

I am using Acrobat Pro 10. I have the same problem and finally after numerous different attempts of solving based on all the suggestions, I resolved my problem by Printing to PDF via the print dialog in Word. When I pasted the fields that were previously rotating onto the new "printed" PDf, the fields retained their orientation as desired.
To clarify, I am using Word 2007, Acrobat Pro 10, the document is landscape, both the original (with fields) PDF and all attempted new PDF's were of the diemnsions 11 x 8.5. The only noticeable difference in the PDF properties for the PDF's were Tagged PDF and Fast Web View. The original PDF (with fields) was No in both cases and all attempts other than the Print to PDF were Yes, meaning that the Print to PDF was No. I am not sure if this made the Print to PDF work or not as I have already spent too much time trying to resolves this issue. Hope this helps.

Help needed in RTF form field to display yes or no based on xml value

Hi,
I have the data in xml as follows: <CP_ZERO_COST>2</CP_ZERO_COST>
Now my requirement is, if CP_ZERO_COST is 2 then the column should display 'No' and if CP_ZERO_COST is 1 the column should display 'Yes'. Now this 'yes' or 'no' is not coming in xml tag. I need to do that in RTF form field.
Could anyone please tell me how to do that?
Please help.
Thanks

Try this:
<?choose:?>
<?when: CP_ZERO_COST = 2?><?'NO'?>
<?end when?>
<?when: CP_ZERO_COST = 1?><?'Yes'?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?><?CP_ZERO_COST?> --- You don't have to include this if the only possible values are 1 and 2.
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
You can also use if then else logic. Ensure that you specify the correct path to get to CP_ZERO_COST
Thanks!

Cannot add form fields in document

Acrobat Pro version 9.1.2
Windows XP SP 3
I have a document that I cannot add form fields to. When I try I get a message that says "You cannot edit the file as a form due to its security settings.
When I go to Advanced->Security->Show Security Properties. The security method is set to No Security and everything is "Allow" under the Document Restrictions Summary.
Where is there a security issue?

Lori,
How did you identify the PDF/A option? I am just curious for my future reference. I could not find it.
==================
Rupey,
The fonts are not embedded and that may also be something to address. A lot of these issues may be related to the 3rd party product used to create the PDF.

How to embed font in Form Field

Hi All,
I have created Form with few fields,
I have used Chinesh licience font in form field and content; and i embeded the font in the pdf.
But, the font which i embeded is not appearing in the fields, and it's taking default "arial" instead of embeded(chinesh) font when i distribute the form to public users.
Those public has different OS windows/mac and different acrobat version, when i check Document Properties/Fonts/ the font are embeding with pdf
I know, If font not existing in local system, it would go to Arial, but i embeded the licienced font.
Why embeded font not supporting particularly in FormField?
I'm using Acrobat X Pro,
Please help to sove this issue.
Thanks in adv.
Cheers,
Saran

Normally when you choose a non-base-14 font for a field, the entire font will get embedded so it can be used with the fields. This is separate from any font embedding for regular text content in the PDF. But in the case of asian fonts, I don't think Acrobat will embed asian fonts for use with fields since they can be quite large.
Adobe distributes the Asian and Extended Language Font Pack so that users can fill forms, comment, etc. with the asian fonts it includes: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5508

How to view the Form Fields in Process data model?

Hi all,
I have made a form in LC Designer containing some name,ID and other generic details.Is there a way by which i can see those nodes in Proces data model when i load that document?.As of now it shows only attribute as Object. Can't I access those fields like name, id etc thru model directly.??

You have to define an XML Schema for the form and bind the form fields to the XML Schema. Additionally, embedding the XML Schema in the form makes life easier.
Given an XML Schema you will be able to navigate through the document hierarchy and access form fields in the XPath navigator.
If you would like a sample form, just send me a request at [email protected]
