Form/Radio Button/Email Question

How can I fix the form on http://www.cec-waterjet.com/Contact/index.html so that it sends an email to the contact whose radio button is selected?

The script you have now should work, it's just not very secure. I meant find a different script where, instead of entering the actual email address in the recipient field, you entered a key or index that points to the address that's been entered somewhere in the script or configuration file, so the email address isn't anywhere in the HTML. I've got an (old-ish) PHP script that works that way here:
http://www.mindpalette.com/scripts/index.php#NMAnchor
...but if you need another CGI script like you've already got, I don't have any specific recommendations, sorry. It was just a suggestion :-)
I removed your code from your message #2 to try to prevent that from getting spam harvested.

Form Radio Buttons or Checkboxes not created in Acrobat 9 Pro

If this needs to be placed in another forum, please just let me know.
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro - current version - 9.4.3.
I am using Word 2010
I am running Windows 7
I have created a simple form in Word. Using the guidelines from the white paper - Acro9_designforms.pdf provided by Adobe, those fields where I want a radio button insert a checkbox instead when running the Form Wizard in Acrobat.
My sample is exactly the same as in the sample used in the white paper.
I used a circle symbol from the Wingdings font, as recommended by Adobe.
Salutation
O Mr.
O Ms.
O Dr.
The end result is still a checkbox, even though it is a circle in the display.
What am I doing wrong?
I do not want to use LiveCycle Designer, as once the form is created in LiveCycle, the form fields can no longer be edited in Acrobat and I must maintain the ability to edit in Acrobat.
Thank you for your assistance.

Oh, the Wizard is a fabulous tool for basic forms. And, since Adobe has given an extensive list of 'guidelines', which is what I am testing, I thought I would ask for feedback from those who do use it and from those who have had success in using it.
The Wizard is mostly terrific, if you use the guidelines when setting up the source document. It saves a lot of manual field creation and fixing later. This one, though, is not working as expected. So, I might be doing something wrong and the responses I seek are from those who have had success with the feature - not with manual workarounds, which of course we know can be achieved. :)
Nothing is "magic". I don't think either I or Adobe are implying that it should be. However, when they state a feature works in a certain way and I am not getting those results, I like to explore why. Silly me. hahaha
The example I gave in my initial post is the only thing in the form, as I am testing the features for when I present this topic.
I am merely trying to determine if others are having success (or not) when creating their document initially in Word (for example), using the guidelines that Adobe states for Radio Buttons being created. If there is a certain font that someone is having success with other than those stated by Adobe, I would love to know. For me, so far, it is not. If it's user error, then I would love to know from someone who has had success.
Here is what Adobe states as part of their Radio Button form field guidelines when setting up a document in Word, for example:
§ Use circular objects or numbered buttons to in a single row or column to indicate radio buttons.
§ Use group labels to the left of or above each radio button group – otherwise they will default to check boxes. Field names are determined from the group labels and individual button labels from the text to the right of each location.
§ Use the following text labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Yes/No, M/F, Male/Female, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Dr.
§ Use one of the following group labels to have radio buttons created automatically: Salutation, Sex, Occupation.

Acrobat 9-forms-Radio buttons print different than check boxes

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create forms.
I've used both radio buttons and check boxes (that are circles).
Forms were designed in InDesign with Zapf Dingbats as the open circles to be filled in.
I used radio buttons when the user had to pick one over the other.
I used check boxes when there were multiple choices or I wanted the user to be able to uncheck a box. (I used the circle style so they would look like radio buttons).
The radio buttons are printing differently than the check boxes. It looks almost like there is an overlay on top of the actual open circle created by Zapf Dingbats.
I checked the "appearance" window and there is no border or fill color on the radio buttons (same for the check boxes).
Under the <general> tab, <common properties> is visible. I'm assuming it should be in order for the radio button to appear on the form.
I would appreciate any input as to how to fix this.
Thansk!
Maureen

That's just the way radio buttons are, and one reason I rarely use them in preference to check boxes. If Adobe wanted to, they could allow you to use any appearance you want for both the selected an unselected state of a check box or radio button, but they've actually further restricted your options over the years.

Adobe Form- Radio Button!!

Hi Experts,
I am working on the Adobe Form in which the data is coming from the Backend RFC. So my DataSource is binded to the Bapi node.
Now my requirement is to add Radio Button for which I have defined in the Dictionary SimpleTypes and binded an attribute to it.
The problem is since my DataSource in the PDF Form is already binded to the Bapi node I cant get the data for the Radoi button from the attribute(Dictionary simpleType).
Can somebody suggest me how to go about it in my case. Any useful Help will be given points.
thanks,
Vikram..

Hi,
You will have to define a value node and then copy values from model node to value node. This way you can define additional attrbute apart from the atributes for data.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Ashutosh

Forms- Radio buttons

Hi,
I've got a form that has radio buttons included which work fine. But what I want is, when a particular radio button is clicked then a new sub-menu will appear, and there will be a different sub-menu for each radio button. Apologies if I haven't explained it that well but I will post any clarifications should you need them.
Thanks.

You want to do a search for javascript and dependant radio buttons. You should be able to get a script pretty quick.

Forms - Radio Buttons as check boxes which turn into circles - Need them to stay as check boxes.

Hi
I am working on some forms for Teachers Reports it is a generic document for student reports. I have set the document in Indesign 6 and edited the pdf form in Acrobat Pro.
The form consists of Radio Buttons (Check Boxes) as they have to score the child between 1-4 and the teacher is only allowed to select 1 box from out of the 4 boxes (hence radio buttons) .
The problem we are having is that there might be 2-3 teachers that have to write and score each child's in a certain section of the report and they might use a PC or MAC to do this.
For some reason, some of the reports have changed the Radio Button "Check Boxes" to a "Circle" both in the PDF and when printing and they need it to be a Check box. (In indesign this was set to Check Box and to print as a Check box)
Some how after the teachers have used different computers the check boxes have changed to circles and we need to change them back to check boxes but is there a way to change them without having to go "Forms" > "Edit" > "Select all circles" > "Properties" > "Options" > "Button Styles" > "Change to Check".
But it is not changing to all of the reports on some.
Is there an easier option can select properties and search the "circles" and change to "check boxes" for the whole document?
I really don't want to have to go into each report and have to change each individually or export and import the data in the forms and the teachers dont want to have to rewrite each report.
Someone please help!

Are all of the teachers using Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), as opposed to something like Preview on tha Mac or Microsoft Reader on Windows? Preview is known to corrupts PDF form in a number of ways, including converting radio buttons to check boxes. Microsoft Reader causes other types of corruption. Also, if you create the fields in InDesign, it uses non-standard appearances for the various states and even Reader/Acrobat doesn't always set them in the way you might expect, so it's best to create them in Acrobat.
Your description is a bit confusing since you're calling them radio buttons and check boxes at the same time. Can you clarify what the original field type is?
It is possible to set the various field appearance properties with a script, which could loop through all of the fields and make the needed changes, but without more information about what's causing the changes and exactly what the changes are, it's hard to suggest anything specific.

Cant fill a form (radio button)

Hey.
I frequently need to fill a form and I cant do so with my Ipad because at certain point I need to select an option with a radio button and the Ipad doesnt recognize it. The form also has square box and there I dont have a problem, I can check it. But when it comes to the radio (circular) button, I cant hit it and fill it.
Why is this so?
Thanks.
(Sorry for my poor english)

Radio button can be selected using the Safari App on the iPad, but the website has to be at least somewhat coded for mobile viewing. See if you can zoom in on the screen before tapping the radio button, this sometimes help. If in the end, you are still unable to complete it, try another browser like Chrome. Some websites don't play nice with mobile devices and touch screens so you may get mixed results. Apple uses Radio buttons in the forgot.apple.com website as well as many other I'm assuming and they all function fine from the iPad screen, so it is more than likely just the website you are utilizing. Good Luck.

SE54 - Recording Routine Radio Button - Transport Question

Greetings!
We have an issue in our development system where in T-Code SE54 the Recording Routine radio button selection was changed for a particular table so it's affecting one of our custom transactions.
We are looking to change the setting but there is some uncertainty around if anything else needs to be done. Is it just a change of the radio button setting and then transporting to our QA environment or would there be any additional steps involved (activation, etc)?
I appreciate it!

Workflow, Form Manager and email question...

Hi All,
We have a client with 36,000 world-wide users of Form Manager. They need all 36,000 users to default to getting an email when a work item hits their worklist. The default is normally that this option be "un-checked"
until each an every user goes to the Form Manager site, chooses
"Preferences" and then "Workflow" and then places a check-mark beside
"Send me an email when assigned a task".
They can't depend on getting all 36,000 employees to go to Form Manager
and do this, so a work item will surely get assigned to someone who
hasn't done this, and will never know they got a work item in their
worklist.
Does anyone know how we can change the default for everyone so that this
option is automatically "checked" for each of the 36,000 users?
Thanks.

Hello -
Firstly you should go into the AdminUI component and make sure the email settings are correctly set there - the settings in the admin for email notifications will be applied to a new user. A new user is either a user who logs in for the first time or who is assigned work in a user qpac.
Secondly for users who have already logged in you could write a simple db update statement to change all of the user's preferences. STMT would look like this:
UPDATE tb_workflow_user SET email_task_assigned = 1
There are other columns for the user preferences in that table as well. Also note that these fields may be of type boolean on databases which support it, others use a bit or short type.
Good luck!

Why are my radio buttons not renaming in pages spawned from a hidden template?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to PDF forms, and have never before tried to use JavaScripts. However, I have been able to learn a lot and I have followed many threads and have almost accomplished what I want, but have hit a block. I don't understand the JavaScript well enough to locate my problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
SYSTEM SPECS: Adobe Acrobat X Pro Mac OS 10.8.5
WHAT I WANT: To create a multi-page (100 pages) form for grading student assignments. Each page must have the same fields, but as each page belongs to a new student, it needs to have different values in the fields on different pages. Each page has 4 questions to score, with 4 score possibilities for each question (0, 1, 2, 3 points), and so only one score should be able to be selected per question.
WHAT I HAVE DONE, following the directions on this thread (Re: Multiple pages form) ):
1) Created a form with a field for student name and 4 sets of radio buttons (Labeled Questions 1-4, with score choices 0-3).
2) Placed a button at the bottom of the page that will spawn a new page and rename fields.
3) Defined this page as a template.
4) Spawned a page.
5) Made the template "hidden."
THE PROBLEM: Steps 1-4 above work perfectly--as long as the template (named "Form") is visible, when I click the button, a new page generates and the student name field renames the fields on Page 2 to "P2.Form.Student ID #" and the radio buttons rename to "P2.Form.Question 1" etc. Each time I press the button, it renames everything appropriately.
However, if I hide the template, then when I click the button on page 1, the fields on Page 2 are renamed to "P1.Form.StudentID ##1." AND THE RADIO BUTTONS DO NOT RENAME. They get the name "P1.Form.Question 1" etc. So the student name field did rename in a way that allows me to enter a new name on each page, but it isn't actually reflecting that I am on page 2, and as for the radio buttons, at that point, I cannot enter different scores on different pages because they are all part of the same radio button grouping.
If I use check boxes, they rename similarly to the student ID field, but I don't want to use check boxes because I want to return one possible score value for each question for tabulating the data. I don't want to leave the template visible because when I distribute this form to other graders, they may enter values into the template page without realizing it, and then when the spawn forms they will have wrong data already entered.
Here is the script that I have set as the button's Mouse Up script:
// Specify the name of the template
var template_name = "Form";
// Get a reference to the template
var t = getTemplate(template_name);
// Add a new page based on the template
if (t !== null) {
    t.spawn({
    nPage: numPages,      // Add the new page to end of document
    bOverlay: false,      // Create a new page, not an overlay
    bRename: true         // Rename the fields
} else {
   app.alert("The template named \'" + template_name + " does not exist in this document.", 1);
Thanks for your help

Hi again GKaiseril,
If you have the time, would you be able to tell me how to do that? I tried just changing the page number of the template page to zero, but I get the error "Please enter a starting value of at least 1." I definitely noticed that all of the discussions about similar subject do all say to somehow put the first page of the form before the template and then hide the template, but I don't think that I know how to do that. I read your response on this discussion "Re: Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)" before I ever started this discussion, but have to admit that I can't figure out how to follow your advice "When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template."
Thanks

Radio Button Settings

Is there a way to prevent a set of radio buttons from being congruent to the previous? For example, I have a PDF form with Questions 1-5, each with a 'yes' and 'no' radio button. If the radio button for 'yes' is selected for Q1, and the 'yes' radio button for Q2, the radio button from question 1 disappears. This happens for each set of radio buttons in order. Is there a setting so that each set of radio buttons for each question is their own and not connected to the rest? Hope this makes sense.
Thanks.

I found something that describes my issue better than I did--
There are two or more radio buttons within a single group which have the same value. Clicking on one causes the dot to appear briefly and then move to the other radio button with the same value.
When creating a form, how do I make it so a group of radio buttons don't have the same value?

Radio Buttons - Vertical versus Horizonal

In WebDB 2.2, I was able to get my form radio buttons to go across the page rather than down by adjusting the input width
of the row that they were on, making the width fairly wide. In portal, I cannot get this to occur.
Looking at the HTML source generated, portal puts a <BR> at the end of each button option, and WebDB does not.
Any way to accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi
You can achieve this custom forms. But the lov should be a static one. I am giving a sample below
to explain better.
Example
Create a custom form based on scott.emp. Run the form and from the html source copy the radio button tags.
Edit the form and goto the custom section and replace <TD><#DEPTNO.ITEM#></TD> with copied tags and remove
the <br> tags. It would look like something below
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01" VALUE=" ">
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="10">ACCOUNTING
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="20">RESEARCH
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="30">SALES
<INPUT TYPE="radio" NAME="FORM_0508231444.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01"
VALUE="40">OPERATIONS
You might run into problems if you change the form, because you are changing the way forms usually works. This is not
a documented way of rendering radio buttons. Everytime you edit the form to add or remove columns you might have to
redo the above steps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

My form has a list of yes or no questions. I want to use either cheboxes or radio buttons. Unfortunatly I can't make it work. When I check yes for one question, it marks all yes answers for all other questions. If I mark some radio buttons to answer, it unmarks later. Need immediate help!!!

Is it that you are using a PDF-based form? Did you copy and paste the Yes/No fields all the way down your form? If so, then all of the yes/no boxes are copies of each other and have the same name and properties in the PDF.
For example, if you had:
     Question 1 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 2 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 3 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
     Question 4 and Question 1 Yes/No checkboxes
Then whatever answer you selected in Question 1 would populate down through the rest of the form.
Changing the Yes/No field properties in questions two through four would eliminate the problem.
I hope that helps,
Brian
