Form Parts

Hello everyone,
I need to know a way on how to create PDF documents by just dragging and dropping custom controls components (like user information, custom paragraphs, pictures, etc.)  from a custom built application (flex, silverlight, wpf...) andl render the desired PDF form based on the elements dragged. So far on other posts I haven't get any answer on how to solve this problem.
I heard there is something called "Form Parts" but I can't find information about it.
We currently generate PDF forms using PDF templates along with XML data files from a .Net application but we need to have a customized PDF designer.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

To turn javascript on in Safari, go the the Safari menu and select Preferences and then go to Security. Check the javascript box.
What Rick mentioned is correct, web designers sometimes do restrict their work to Windows. It is because they're lazy, but the extra work is due to Microsoft's arrogance in following standards. My favorite example is PNG, which is a great graphics format with alpha transparency. But Microsoft never implemented it with alpha transparency on Windows (they did on Mac!), so a web designer has two choices: go with the cheesier GIF, or detect which browser you're using. Now what do you think most designers do?
The only way I know of to dectect browsers and change code accordingly on the client side is to use a scripting language and the most ubiquitous one is javascript. So because of Microsoft's policies, most designers need to use javascript to check if you're using IE on Windows. Check out my web site http://www.philsmith.com/caravan/ on a Mac and on Windows to see what I'm talking about. There's javascript to tell what browser you have, and the graphics and music are implemented differently in either case. Without javascript, I couldn't make this happen.
So your choices as a designer are to use javascript or go with one platform. And you can guess which platform most are going to choose.

  • Why do I need to declare "defaultButton" ? (In a component form part of view stack)

    After doing some research and some help from FlexGuy in another thread, I realize that I need to make sure I have custom components initialized before accessing parts of the component.  Just recently I was thrown for a long time when I tried to first click on a form field that was part of a component in my view stack, I'd get:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
        at mx.managers::FocusManager/focusInHandler()[C:\autobuild\galaga\frameworks\projects\framew ork\src\mx\managers\FocusManager.as:601]
    With the debugger it's occuring in the focusInHandler method of FocusManager.as: (apparently _defaultButton is null.)
    // restore the default button to be the original one
                    if (defButton && defButton != _defaultButton)
                        defButton.emphasized = false;
                        defButton = _defaultButton;
                       _defaultButton.emphasized = true;
    This prompted me, on a whim, to delcare a defaultButton:
    <mx:Form id="empForm" defaultButton="{submitButton}">
    which refers to my submit button:
    <mx:Button id="submitButton" click="submitEmployee()" label="{submitLabel}"/>
    My question, is why is this necessary? In some examples I don't see this declared at all, but I seem to need it? (I'm calling creationPolicy="all" to make sure my components are initialized but I still seem to have to this defaultButton declared?)

  • Reader, fillin forms, partly empty

    We have fill in forms that users have filled out and saved. When they open the file again, it shows part of the filled in information but not everything. If they click in a field it will show the rest of the document.

    I don't know which program they were developed in. Let me give you additional info. Most of the fields are currency or numeric fields. There are a couple of text fields. They one line fields that will allow the user to write beyond the field but then adjusts the font size so the whole text fits within the field.

  • Are Live Web Forms part of Adobe Creative Suite?

    I work for a small business and we're looking to use a lot of Adobe's products through the Creative Suite. One thing I need to know before ordering, though, is if the suite allows for use of Live Web forms and response collection. I'm not sure if this is something that has to be paid for separately - although I do see Acrobat Pro is included in the suite. These forms would be used in email marketing. Is there an extra fee or is it all in one?? Thanks.

    Illustrator is not working as it should...
    I want them to compare the original size and date of creation with what I have installed on my computer... I have installed several times with my original CD and I tried once downloading the files from the adobe site (using my own license). I suspect the files has been modified or renamed on my laptop by an external unauthorized user causing the malfunction of the application. 
    Customer services does not support CS3 anymore and the updates / patches in the adobe site does not solve the problem... They redirect me to the forums for support...
    Presently, my problem is that after creating a swatch and drag it to the swatch panel, it does not fill as it should a new form... Now, after deactivating and activating my license the swatch seems to fill the new form but when the filter that the swatch has is persistence in the next filling object created even though a different color is being used as a fill (X)... Help in the creation of a swatch over the internet just complicate the issue.
    That's why I would like to know whether updates on my product are being received or files are being replaced without my knowledge...
    Thanks...

  • Adobe Form - to fade oute a Form part

    Hello,
    what I have:
    A Adobe Form with Masterpage and page1 and page2.
    an interface with many variables.
    Two of them are the name for appraiser1 and appraiser2
    Problem:
    If the field appraiser2 is empty, the second page shouldn't print.
    manual I have made a partform about page2 and under Object it gives the section partform. here I have the chance to fade out the partform with the page2.
    How can I do this in the script automatical, if the variable appraiser2 is empty.
    Gives a attribute vor visible/output?
    Thanks four your help.
    regards dse

    Hi Dirk,
    There are 2 approaches to your requirement.
    1) when you say if appraiser2  is null page 2 should not be printed, here why don't you make the page 2 invisible altogether, so if the value to this field is null user sees only page 1 and on print only page1 is printed ...?
    2) fine lets say even the appraiser2 value is null you will show all the pages but when you click on the print button you need only the page1 is printed.
      here lets say your form is of n pages so if appraiser2 is null page n should not be printed and all the n-1 pages to be printed then replace this below code on the print button click event.
    Note: this is in java script
    var appraiser2Value = <<form1.form2.subform1.appraiser1.rawValue>>; // this is your apparaiser2 field value.;
    var lastPagenNo = 0;
    lastPagenNo = (appraiser2Value!= null) ? (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString() : (xfa.host.numPages -2).toString();
    //here page number is is calculated by -1 or -2 because the indecx for pages start from 0 in java scripting language.
    xfa.host.print(1, "0", lastPagenNo, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    Try this out, and let me know if this works out or my understanding your requirement is wrong.
    Cheers,

  • Advanced Search Form - PART II

    In the insert page: People introduce the birth date of the
    dog.
    In the search page:
    I have a pulldown menu with the values "Baby"; "Young";
    "Adult" and finally, "Oldies".
    For each of this values I will need to have a range:
    Baby - until 6 months.
    Young - From 6 Months until 3 years.
    Adult - From more then 3 until 8 years.
    Oldies - more then 8 years.
    I have a SQL script that gives me the Age in years:
    SELECT CURDATE(), (YEAR(CURDATE())-YEAR(data_nasc_an)) -
    (RIGHT(CURDATE(),5)<RIGHT(data_nasc_an,5)) AS Age
    The problem is that if the little dog as less then 12 months
    he will return 0. This will be not a big issue, but dogs grow a lot
    in the first year, so we cannot put a dog with 2 months and a dog
    with 11 months like being the same.
    1) How can we show the age in a way that the first year can
    be show in months?
    2) How can we, for this case of Age, get a range of values
    associated with the combo box?
    Any feedback on this please?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm getting the following error:
    Notice: Undefined index: idade in
    /home/cantinho/www/www/admin/cantinho/encontrar_animal.php on line
    86
    And this line have:
    switch($_POST['idade']) {
    I have tried to use if (isset($_POST['idade'])) to try to
    avoid this error, like this:
    <?php
    if (isset($_POST['idade'])) {
    switch($_POST['idade']) {
    case 'bebe':
    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM dogs WHERE data_nasc_an <
    SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 6 MONTH)';
    break;
    case 'jovem':
    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM dogs WHERE data_nasc_an >
    SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 6 MONTH) AND data_nasc_an < SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 3 YEAR)';
    break;
    case 'adulto':
    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM dogs WHERE data_nasc_an >
    SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 3 YEAR) AND data_nasc_an < SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 8 YEAR)';
    break;
    case 'velhotes':
    $sql = 'SELECT * FROM dogs WHERE data_nasc_an >
    SUBDATE(NOW(),
    INTERVAL 8 YEAR)';
    else {
    echo '$_POST[idade] not valid or something the point is, I
    have no idea what to put here :(';
    but no luck either.
    My drop-down menu are defined like this:
    <select name="idade" id="idade">
    <option value="%" <?php if(isset($_POST['idade'])
    && $_POST['idade'] == "%") echo 'selected="selected"';
    ?>>Qualquer</option>
    <option value="bebe" <?php if(isset($_POST['idade'])
    && $_POST['idade'] == "bebe") echo 'selected="selected"';
    ?>>Bebé</option>
    <option value="jovem" <?php if(isset($_POST['idade'])
    && $_POST['idade'] == "jovem") echo 'selected="selected"';
    ?>>Jovem</option>
    <option value="adulto"<?php if(isset($_POST['idade'])
    && $_POST['idade'] == "adulto") echo 'selected="selected"';
    ?>>Adulto</option>
    <option value="velhote" <?php
    if(isset($_POST['idade']) && $_POST['idade'] == "velhote")
    echo 'selected="selected"'; ?>>Velhote</option>
    So it should not give this error.
    This will not be a big issue since its only a notice, but the
    query does not work either - When I press Submit he gives me all
    always all ages - so maybe its related somehow?
    Thanks again.
    ADD-ONS to this post :
    I have test the querys in a new f"aketest" recordset but they
    are not accurate.
    I have change the querys for this:
    Select CURDATE(), (YEAR(CURDATE())-YEAR(data_nasc_an)) -
    (RIGHT(CURDATE(),5)<RIGHT(data_nasc_an,5)) as Idade FROM animal
    HAVING Idade < 3
    It does not solve the months problem, but It was only for
    testing proposes, and this query worked ok in the fakerecorset BUT
    the form stills ignore the value of the drop-down because no filter
    was made.
    So, before que mysql querys, the drop-down in the form must
    be connected with the values of the database, and that's not the
    case right now.
    Anyone please?...

    I cannot link my new MacMini with my TV's sound system. It's a Pioneer screen & receiver with an independent Pioneer Amp. The Mac Mini does not pick up the sound through the hdmi cable, so how do I get sound going through the MacMini so I can appreciate the music and films I want to hear. Do I need another piece of Apple kit? I have seen 'Express' on Apples web site. Surely I dont have to pay for this as well?
    I used to have an Apple TV box which had a seperate audio connection from my Pioneer Amp and it worked great.
    Help will be appreciated

    The Mac Mini is going to be used for an Internet connection on the Pioneer Plasma/receiver so I can also play stored films from a seperate hard drive. The receiver has an HDMI connection which I have connected the Mac Mini too. the picture is fine, but there is no sound. I have checked the 'sound' settings on the Mac Mini and it registers the Pioneer PDP receiver is connected but states it has no audible connection?

  • JSP part of HTML form

    i have an html form (part of code included below) and don't know how to write the JSP for the results page. I want to be able to click "submit" and have the inputed information placed in a text file and saved in the same folder as my HTML files. I am new to JSP and am trying to learn. thanks in advance.
    code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Form</title>
    </head>
    <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get" >
    Model Name:

    <input type="text" name="lenghtunit">
    <br>
    <br>
    <TEXTAREA ROWS="5" COLS="50">

    You need to learn some java first. Then learn a bit about JSP. It isn't like classic ASP.
    Then write a java class that takes arguments and writes them to a file. It will be good practice for making the full bean. :)
    When you're comfortable with the class and it does what you want (writes things to a file), make the class a bean (use a package) and make the arguments be gettable and settable properties and have a method do the write using those properties (instead of main doing it).
    Put the bean in a JSP and set the properties and call the method that writes them to a file.
    If you can't follow that, you're not ready to write it. Go, read, learn more about java and java beans, and come back to this.
    Note that you may have permissions problems if the directory the class writes to is not writable by the user that the web server runs as.
    Note on your html page: you should be targetting a JSP page, not ASP, and you should be using POST, not GET, as the method.

  • Oracle Forms (Support & Certification) on Linux RedHat AS 4.0 (Intel 32bit)

    Hello,
    Does anybody know for sure if Oracle is certifying Forms (part of Application Server 10.1.2.2) on Linux RedHat AS 4.0 (Intel 32 bit). We are trying to move from v3.0 to v.4.0, however without Oracle support, that might not happen.
    Any help or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards
    Kunal Bansal

    I did search in Metalink indeed. This document is really the latest certification they have. But funny thing is that the rda.sh script Oracle released checks for RH4 in addition to RH3. I have my test iAS server (10.1.2.0.2) and iDS (same version) installed on RH 3 (just in case) but I have installed iAS server in 2 different places (for deployment) on RH 4 - both went just fine. I know there is a document on Metalink, explaining how to install on RH 4 - basically, they released a small patch set for those who wants to install on RH 4. I did apply that patchset (it is for OUI not for the forms). My quick solution to implement this patchset was to create a staging directory (disk1, ...) and then replace couple of files located under disk1 staging directory with the files that comes with the patchset (unzipped into a separate place), then start the installation of 10.1.2.0.2 on RH 4. Everything then went just perfect on RH 4. No problems reported so far (2 separate installations on 2 separate sites on RH 4). I don't know if this helps but just wanted to provide some feedback.

  • How to have digital signature in a Sharepoint 2013 custom list form created in InfoPath 2013?

    I have a requirement that they want a form in SP13 that would allow Mobile mode.  Supervisor then can sign off the form in mobile mode.  Because Document Library form doesn't have Mobile client support so I decided to create this as a custom List
    form.  Now I'm finding out that when I right click on the section on the form to enable e-signature, there is no such option.   I appreciate it if someone can give me some suggestion on how to have a form that has both Mobile mode and e-signature
    support in SP13.
    I also noticed that the people picker doesn't work in Mobile mode.  Is that so or is there something-else I need to configure?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create an InfoPath form which supports Mobile mode and e-signature in SharePoint 2013.
    Per my knowledge, the browser-based forms cannot support signature in Mobile device.
    Here are some other products which are not free can achieve this goal for you to take a look:

  • Scripting error when opening Interactive Form

    Hello Jeroen and welcome to the SDN!
    It seems like an error in the WebDynpro-part, not in the Adobe forms-part. Please check if all your elements (views, windows, controllers, etc.) are in valid namespaces.
    Could you try to create an application for the WebDynpro-project in the NDS, and try to <i>deploy new archive and run </i>? Does this work?
    Perhaps you could even copy the project, and replace the Adobe Inter Form element by a static text, to test if it is in the WebDynpro part or that it really has something to do with the Adobe.
    Good luck,

  • Adobe form creation with fillable=X fails

    Hello experts,
    I am working with a form designed in SFP - in the PDF preview everything is fine, the fields are fillable.
    When I create the form with the generated function module, it only works when docparams-fillable is empty (but then it is a static form)
    If I call the function module with fillabe=X I get a FPRUNX error. I need a fillable form (unfortunately).
    I have seen in the forum that others had the same problem - but have not found a solution yet.
    What do I need to tell the basis people for checking ADS configuration or installation?

    If you want yo make form fillable that means it becomes not just print form, but interactive form. Even if you are not planning to send data back to SAP and just want to change smth in the form before output - it is still sort of interaction, isn't it?
    Unlike print-forms part of this solution (which is included in you SAP license), interactive part requires additional licensing and installation of special credential on ADS server.
    Only if you have credential installed at the server you can make form fillable.
    See this note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/736902">736902</a>
