Forms & Changing Information

I am not "new" to InDesign. I have used it to create some basic forms. What I am trying to do now is something that I have never tried. I am wanting to know if it is even possible with InDesign. Here is a brief description. I want to create a Interactive .pdf file where the user can select an item from a drop down list and that choice to appear on a text field (or some other field). I also want to be able to set up an array of several rows and a few columns. I want to search that array for the index (the item in the first column) and return the other other columns. I also want to set up if statements that will return specific data to a field. Is this possible. If yes, is there some kind of tutorial that I can follow that will teach these skills.
Thanks in advance

Got to http://www.indesignsecrets.com and look around for a link for one
week trial to Lynda.com.
There's some good video instruction there.

    Hello,
    Please check these FMs:
    CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS    Change document: Read change document header
    CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS  Change document: Read change document items
    These FMs are designed to read change logs of specific fields. They access data from tables CDHDR and CDPOS.

  • Saving fillable forms with information

    Adobe Reader on a remote computer is not allowing me to save a form with information.   Any workarounds?  Please be very basic. 

    I have Acrobat Pro XI - if you were referring to the version of Reader I can update to the latest version (I believe also XI?). 
    Only I would be using this form - but on a large number of computers.  I would likely always have on a network drive and save onto that same network drive. 

  • How to publish infopath list form changes from one environment to another

    How can we move InfoPath customized list form changes from one environment to another example Development environment to UAT environment? We can save that as source file and update url on the .xsn file. But is there any other way we can do it?
    Rajasekar A.C

    Hi,
    You can save the list as template in source environment. Download the template for List Templates, upload in the same location in Destination site. The customized infopath should go with it. Let us know if that doesnt work.

  • Detect Form Change

    Hello Everyone.
    I'm using Apex 4.0.1 against Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Linux.
    I created an Apex form in which I included the following JQuery code that detects changes to fields or drop downs on the form. Note that I got this code from a previous Forum post contributed by someone named Vee in this Forum.
    $('#RSID1').find('input,select').change( function(){
       $s('P120_FORM_CHANGED','Y');
    if (document.getElementById('P120_FORM_CHANGED').value == 'Y') {apex.confirm(htmldb_cancel_message,'EXITPAGE');}This code resides in the "Execute When Page Loads" section of the form page. And it works fine. If I attempt to change any field on the form and then, subsequently, click the "Cancel" button on the form page, the form page variable P120_FORM_CHANGED is set to "Y". Then the javascript "if" statement checks the value of this page variable. If it is set to "Y", then the following Apex confirmation message appears:
    The form has changed.  Continue Cancelling?The problem I'm having is that, prior to the "apex.confirm" confirmation dialogue window even appears, I see all of the form field values revert back to their pre-change state. And so, even before the confirmation dialogue window appears, the user's form changes are "lost". If the user subsequently clicks the "OK" button displayed in the confirmation popup dialogue window, control returns to the previous page. This works as expected. In this case, of course, it doesn't matter that the form modifications were "lost".
    Unfortunately, when the user clicks the "Cancel" button on the confirmation popup dialogue window, the user is left on the same form page (which is what it is expected to do) but with all of the form fields back to their pre-modification values.
    I suspect the problem I'm having is somewhere within the above JQuery itself.
    Would someone be able to help me figure out why the user's form changes are always being reverted back to their pre-change values even before the confirmation dialogue window appears?
    Thank you very much for any help on this.

    Have you tried using this plugin:
    http://www.apex-plugin.com/oracle-apex-plugins/dynamic-action-plugin/skillbuilders-save-before-exit_43.html
    there, you can define exceptions easily.

  • Direction of Text in Forms Changed Strangely?

    Dear All
    I develop an application by default and its Direction was from LEFT to RIGHT in all data fields- as Engish writing default direction.
    After 2 months successful implemention and running on a PC, the direction of Text writing into all fields and in all forms changes strangely and it now take input from RIGHT TO LEFT?
    Can anyone help me to resolve this problem? where the things gone wrong? what i have to do now? what to modify?
    I do have more than 20 Forms and so hundreds fields there?
    Lookng forward ur urgent help.

    This is going to sound like a really obvious question but what have you changed since it started to do this?
    My guess would be some sort of NLS setting in Forms or in the O/S - does this happen to any other applications? What about a brand new Form; do you get the same. If you are running on the web does it change if you use a different browser?

    Hi Mehdi ,
    You can check out the VPD concept provided by Oracle in which you can apply the security on the required schema/table only and it thus meet your requirement of providing security option to one schema and not to the other of same database.

    Hi Bhagwat,
    As far as I know, I dont think there is any standard provided to get the number of days worked in PE51.
    Of course you can write a custom rule in schema to get the hours worked based on the time sheet days and get the number of days worked in RT Table and then use them on PE51.
    But I would suggest you to go with ANZHL i.e. number of hours worked..
    Let me know.

    Thanx a lot Arti,
    I had already tried it but I'm getting only Total number of hours worked by that employee. Whereas I need the exact number of days that employee had worked for that month, including the sundays as the sundays are also paid. Specifically I need the number of days.
    Please Gurus help me in this.

    If the shifts are all the same duration( like 8 hours per day), you may take a workaround, use formula : working days=total working hours / working hours per day.

    Thanx for ur instant reply,
    But the thing is I have 6 days working. In those 6 days, 5 days is 8 hrs & Saturday is only 6 hrs working.
    Your formula can be implemented if I have an uniform working hours shift.Since we have a slight deviation here, we have to change the formula a bit.
    Could u also please tell me how to implement the formula & also bring into calculation into SAP.
    Please also suggest me if there is any other way out.

  • Material price change information

    Hi,
    Is there any table which provides the material price change information in company code currency and group currency value? I need to findout list of materials which has price discrepencies. I can use MBEW and CKMLCR but the problem is some materials doesn't have the cost estimates and CMLCR is not much usefull in this scenario
    I really appreciate your input.
    Thanks
    Reddy
    Edited by: beri reddy on Jan 27, 2011 9:38 PM

    Hi Beri Reddy,
    You can check with the below:
    "S_ALR_87013182- Transaction History for a Material". You will be able find the Standard and Actual Price, MM Material Price Change, Price change by rleasing of new standard price, ML Settlement, etc.
    "S_ALR_87013181- Material Ledger Data Overal Several Periods". You will be able find the Standard Price, Actual Price, Price Varinace absolute, Price variance %.
    You try with Query using tables (CDHDR & CDPOS) or Z development.
    The logic for the development:
    CDHDR-OBJECTCLAS = MATERIAL
    CDHDR-OBJECTID (Material No)
    There are other fields like User id, date and time, t-code, etc.
    By passing the above details pick CHANGENR from the same table CDHDR.
    And pass the above value in table CDPOS-CHANGENR
    CUKY
    New value
    Old value
    You have mentioned that "some materials doesn't have the cost estimates".
    Are these materials are RM, SFG & FG?
    Are these materials are part of BOM or not?
    If my understanding is correct that few of materials which has price discrepencies, to analyze these type of issues the better to use the below t-codes:
    -CKMTOPPRICEDIF - Materials with Largest Moving Price Difference
    -CKMTOPSTOCKVAL - Materials with Highest Inventory Value
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How can I change Information/Error Heading texts

    I want to change Information/Error Heading texts that are shown during error and message notifications
    at top of the UIX pages. (I am using UIX/Struts/BC4j with jhs 9.0.4.5)
    I have changed the values of "ERROR_HEADING" , "ERROR_PAGE_HEADING" , "INFORMATION_HEADING"
    keys in the generated resource bundles, but nothing has changed.
    It looks that modifying these keys has no effect at all.
    Where is my mistake?
    Does anybody have solution for changing these headings ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Navid,
    These entries are used when generating JSP pages.
    In case of UIX the error and information headings are controlled by UIX, just like the detail disclosure text you mentioned in the other thread. So, change the language of your browser and you should get a different heading.
