Forms central - creating fields that total

Anyone know if you can create fields that total based upon user's response?  example field A is 50, Field B is 25,  Field C the total is 75?

Not with fields on a web form created with FormsCentral. You can use PDF forms that include automatic calculations with FormsCentral, but you'd have to use Acrobat to set them up.

    You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if the article doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Creating a form with a field that contains a simple math problem.

    I am creating a form in Acrobat 9 Standard that contains a field that requires a simple math function (divide).
    if (QuantityRow1 > 0)
    ExtensionRow1 / QuantityRow1
    Take the value input in ExtensionRow1 and divide it by the value in QuantityRow1. I have included an IF statement to prevent an error that occur if QuantityRow1 were equal to zero.
    After inputting the data into the two fields I tab past the field where I expect to see my result and the field remains blank. I don't receive any error messages.
    Any ideas? Thanks - jb

    Hello All,
    I'm currently running into difficulty with my Outlook Form. I have been tasked with creating a routing form within Outlook that will replace a pdf form. The form/email will be routed from 1 person on done the line as each person has inforamtion to eitehr
    enter or to makr that they have viewed the form/email. I'm trying to create a field that would allow each individual to place their name in the apporatie box from either the Outlook contact list or create a dropdown list with the individuals in

    Not possible in my opinion. You may try a code solution.

  • How do I create a form with text fields that can continue to multiple pages with out it over lapping

    I have created a form in Livecycle and have made every object a sub field. But I am still having the same probably. The text field only continues on to a second page and overlaps the footer I have created at the bottom of the page. I am new to livecycle and have tried a lot of different things to fix this problem. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I've found this blog http://blogs.uoregon.edu/developments/2010/12/29/pdf-making-text-fields-grow-to-accommodat e-text/ and this example file : flowableTest.pdf? Is it close to what you search? I cannot go deeper into example now, but will.

  • Can an Acrobat form have a field that allows you to select and display an image?

    Hello,
      I'm trying to streamline my most frequent job duty. I work for a box plant and I spend most of my day creating or updating Print Cards. These are letter sized pages that contain the job information along the top and an image of the package laid flat below. What I'm trying to do is make the Print Card a form that I can fill in, and have the final field ask me to select the image. I would then browse for my package design and drop it into the specified field.
      Is this possible? It seems like it should be. I'm fairly illustrator savvy, but I've yet to really get my hands on Acrobat (though I get more excited about it the more research I do).
      Eventually, I want to turn this single form into a full portfolio that would be linked pdf versions of every form we currently use. The info would then be uploaded and assessable by anyone on our team. I don't know how to do half of that, but I'm learning.   So I guess, expect to see me post on this for a while.

    Yes, you can set up a button that has a layout other than "Label only" and  use the following as the Mouse Up JavaScript for the button:
    // Mouse Up script for button
    event.target.buttonImportIcon();
    You will then be prompted to select a file as the source of the button icon. You can choose form a number of file types. You should then set the button to read-only before sending the PDF.
    To trigger the import from a different button, bookmark, link, etc., the script would be:
    getField("image_button").buttonImportIcon();
    Replace "image_button" with the actual name of the button that will display the image.

  • Jgoodies form layout creates screens that look different

    Hi,
    I am creating GUI screens using FormLayout. These look great on my laptop-15". The minute this goes to a desktop 17" monitor or to a 14" laptop some of the screen content is not displayed. I am forced to use a scroll pane and bring in horizontal scrolling! Even though the desktop has a 17" screen, the aspect ratio is different from my laptop's.
    For example, please take a look at the below specification:
    FormLayout totallayout=new FormLayout("1dlu,fill:pref:grow,8dlu,10dlu,8dlu,328dlu,1dlu",
                                                               "1dlu,fill:pref:grow,1dlu");I am putting a panel in the 2nd column-Panel A and another panel in the 2nd last column-Panel B. The remaining ones are for gaps and a vertical separator (4th column). Panel B gets hidden in the smaller screens. I thought form layout uses dlu sizes that lays out the frame based on the screen resolution, screen size and the font size of the target computer. In that case why does Panel B get hidden? All the computers I tried this on has the screen resolution the same! 1280 * 800.
    So this must depend on the screen size - 15" or 17" or 14" or ...... Is there anyway I can cater to different screen sizes, without my application looking all ugly?

    Better ask wherever you got this FormLayout, it's not a part of the JDK. Or use one of the [_standard layouts_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html].

  • Problems importing PDF file to Forms Central

    I am trying to import a PDF file to Form Central, last week the file imported fine, we had to make some corections, and now when I try to import the file I get this response
    FormsCentral could not import the PDF form because it has more than 500 form fields.
    can someone enlighten me on this,  I did not add any more fields, I just adjusted the tabs and labeled the form fields.
    Thanks New

    Thanks Josh...that's what I ended-up having to do. The problem is this will now produce two separate responses. I now have to devise a way to track/connect submissions from part A & part B (i.e, by adding a reference ID to both forms), otherwise we wouldn't know which data applies to which responses - considering the applications will now be submitted at different times vs as a whole. Just another setback with Form Central.
    The other issue is with Form Central reordering certain fields in the Response table.  My field names and tab order set in Acrobat are 100% in sequence - in terms of the names in the tab order panel matching the actual placement of the fields on the page. When I upload/import the PDF to Form Central, certain fields are placed out of order and I have to scroll through "miles" of headers just to find the misplaced field to manually reorder it.  Is there any progress in having this issue resolved in Form Central? I have no idea what Form Central is reading when it imports the PDF, because it doesn't appear to looking at the form structure in terms of the tab order.
    Also, will the 500 field max ever get increased?
    i think Form Central offers a good solution for being able to submit data but these quirks are casting a shadow on the brand.

  • Conversion of trial forms central forms to use with subscription license

    Is there a way to access forms created in forms central on a different machine under a trial license on a new machine so the work can be continued?

    Hi;
    Certainly.
    Assuming the forms are "online" all you need to do is sign into FormsCentral using the same AdobeID as you used to sign in for the trial on the previous machine.
    However, if you were using the desktop FormsCentral application that comes with Adobe Acrobat XI and had created "local" forms you have two choices for how to move those.  You can either "Move Online" (signed into the same account, using a Basic or Plus level account so you can have more than 1 online form) and then those would be available from any machine you sign into the same account.  The second option is to "Export Design File" from the File menu (with the form open on the Design tab) which will save a design file (FCDT) that you can import into FormsCentral from any computer.
    If you are not signed into FormsCentral using the desktop application then all forms you create and that you see in the My Forms tab are "local" and you would need to sign in to move those forms online, if you are signed into FormsCentral the "local" forms would show a computer icon by them where the online forms show a cloud icon:
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

    OR
    How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
    Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
    Thank you!

    Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You  should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

  • Is it possible to edit forms IN forms central that were created in Adobe, then uploaded to forms central?

    I would like to be able to edit forms that were previously created in Acrobat after uploading them to FormsCentral in the same way that I can edit a form which was created directly in forms central. Is this possible?

    No, all LCD forms can only be edited in LCD.
    And the second trial is probably not going to work, unless you install it
    on a different computer.
    The best way to salvage your form, in my experience, is to print it to the
    Adobe PDF printer, creating a new flat PDF file and then running the Form
    Detection Wizard in Acrobat on it and continuing from there. It probably
    won't do a perfect job, but it should recognize some of the fields.

  • Creating a date field that autogenerates when form is opened but the date is fixed upon signing.

    Hi,
    I have been creating a series of PDF forms on Adobe XI Pro that are designed to be filled in using Adobe Reader (hence are saved as Adobe Reader Extended). Once the form is complete there are signature fields that the user digitally signs which then deactivates specific form fields from further editing. Alongside the signature field I have got a date field which, at the moment, is using JavaScript to auto-generate the current date upon opening. However, the issue I am having is that I want this date field to be fixed when the form is signed, rather than updating again when the form is next opened. Is this possible?
    The document JavaScript that I am currently using to generate the date is as follows:
    this.getField("PR_Date1").value = util.printd("dd/mmm/yyyy", new Date());
    But obviously this is independent of the date field.
    I am very new to Adobe in general so I don't have much of an idea about how to go about doing this. Could somebody please help me to do this if it is possible?
    Thank you
    KC

    Hélène-
    Thanks for the detail regarding validation script, but I still am having a problem with it.
    I have tried what you told me (remove reset the value) the popup no longer appears when the form is opened. But the validation does not seen to be working. It is not working either in the validate or exit event. This is what I have now on that text field.
    ----- form1.#subform[0].Y::exit - (JavaScript, client) ---------------------------------------------
    //Verify year is current or year+1
    var today = new Date();
    var year = today.getFullYear();
    if (this.rawValue == year || this.rawValue == year+1)
    app.alert("Year is invalid.\n\nOnly current or next year is valid.");
    ----- form1.#subform[0].Y::validate - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
    //Final verification
    ScriptObject.ValidateField(event.target, this);
    This final verification script I have taken from the samples on the
    LiveCycle Developer Center (Validating field content in a form hosted in Adobe Acrobat).
    The alert only displays when 2007 or 2008 is entered. I am really confused now. I thought I had a handle on this with your explanation.
    I do not know where to go now. The Object Pallet is setup as:
    Field Tab
    Allow Plain Text Only and Limit Length are checked with a Max Chars: 4. Edit Pattern: 99999
    Value Tab
    Type: User Entered - Required
    Validation Pattern: 9999
    Validation Script Message is checked - in Message box Invalid Year.
    Binding Tab
    Default Binding: Normal
    Data Format: Plain Text
    I am hoping that you can explain what I have wrong.
    Thanks so much,
