FormsCentral is discarding dropdown export values when importing PDF form

I would like to disclose that I am fairly new to this process.
I have created a pdf from a word document. After creating the form portion in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and adding in javascript validations and calculations, sourced mainly from these community forums I am encountering an error when importing the form to FormsCentral.  I have dropdown boxes that contain numbers (1,2,3, etc.) to select the amount of guests the recipient will invite. In turn, when selecting a certain number, the export value ($100,$200,$300, etc.) will show up in an adjacent text box stating in the amount it will cost.
This works fine in Acrobat, however when I import it I get a message:
     FormsCentral has successfully imported the PDF with the following exceptions:
     The choice field AddtD contains both display and export values. FormsCentral must discard the export values and this may cause existing calculations and validations to fail.
     The choice field AddtG&D contains both display and export values. FormsCentral must discard the export values and this may cause existing calculations and validations to fail.
When it comes to efficiency, I am aware I may be doing things the tedious way. But I would like some insight on how to make the textbox more active in this scenario. I will include my properties / validations and calculations:
Dropdown box 1 (AddtG&D): Export values, as previously discussed
Text box 1 (TotalAddtG&D):
Validation Script:
// null filed value if entry is zero
if(event.value == 0) event.value = "";
Custom Calculation Script:
// Set this field value to the value of the combo box
event.value = getField("AddtG&D").value;
The same goes for Dropdown box 2 and Text box 2, as they are identical. Any help would be great!

Well that simplifies it a lot, since all you need to do is multiply the field value by a constant amount in both cases. So the new calculation script could be:
event.value = 100 * getField("AddtG&D").value;
and for the other:
event.value = 45 * getField("AddtG&D").value;
though I'm not sure if that's the correct field name.

  • How to Supply the form field values to a pdf form when loading it

    I am working on a web site project using Asp.net where the user has to fill in a PDF eform in acrobat reader. Then when he clicks on submit it returns to my asp.net app and the PDF form supplies the values back to my asp.net app. So my asp.net app has the values that were filled in the PDF form and can save those values and work with them...
    OK.
    What I need to know is when I am in my asp.net app, and the user wants to go back and reopen the same form, from my asp.net app..... then how do I pass back the values that were saved back to the PDF form??
    I know if I had a way to pass the values to the PDF form in some way then in the Doc.open or doc.load event of the form I could easily write a little javascript to plug in the values in the PDF form fields.
    but how do I pass those values from my asp.net app to my PDF form???
    thanks

    Thanks bcweed for all the info. I fixed my problem, it had something to do with LiveCycle Designer. If I just use Acrobat to add the form fields, then the FDF works fine. As to your situation with the SavToBuf, that happens to be the method that I am using, so I will just post my code here, and maybe you can pick out what is different from yours. The Response.BinaryWrite(FDFin.FDFSaveToBuf)is at the bottom.

  • Can I change default crop options when importing PDFs?

    When importing PDFs into Photoshop CS3, the default cropping is Bounding Box. I change the popup to Media Box, but it reverts when I quit Photoshop. Is there a way to make Media Box the default?

    I tried it and a Scripted opening of a pdf doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the dialog’s settings.
    If You open with the same settings usually it might be possible to create a Script that opens pdfs with those settings right away – one would have to trade the comparative convenience of dragging the pdf on the psd-symbol and hitting OK for an open-dialog though, I guess.

  • Can I make a web link for Imported PDF forms?

    I imported a PDF form onto formscentral.  When I click the distribute tab I do not get the same options as if I created the form on formscentral.  Can I create a web link for my imported PDF form?

    Hi;
    No, the Import PDF feature allows you to save a new version of your PDF form that has a "Submit" button that submits the data back to FormsCentral which is available for you to view, analyze and manage on the View Responses tab.  It does not provide a "web" version of the form. 
    In order to make the PDF form available online you will want to create a link to download the PDF and instruct users to fill it out using the free Adobe Reader (or Acrobat), you do not want to allow the PDF to be opened inside of a web browser as that will not work for most users.  The FormsCentral PDFs must be filled out using Adobe Reader/Acrobat.  Here is an FAQ on PDF in a web browser: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142

  • How can I force a group of checkboxes using imported PDF forms

    how can I force a group of checkboxes when using imported PDF forms,
    My checkboxes are single fields rather than a group, the form is design using indesign?

    The PDF file format doesn't support grouping check-boxes into a multi-choice field. Because of that, FormsCentral just represents them as check boxes.

  • How can I import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11.0.3.268 without garbling fields?

    When I try to import .pdf forms into RoboHelp 11, the fields get garbled.
    Is there any way around this?

    Hello again
    Okay, you first open or give focus to the Project Manager pod. Once there, you will either be in Global View (where you see all files combined - CSS, Images, HTM and others) or you will be in Classic view. Classic View has separate folders, One for HTML files, another for CSS, another for Baggage, etc. See image below for reference.
    If you are in Global view, just right-click somewhere inside the Project Files and choose New > Baggage File. If you are in Classic view, right-click the Baggage Files folder and choose New > Baggage File.
    Then you navigate to where the Baggage File exists and you add it to the project. When you generate, the Baggage File should be automatically copied to the output folder with the other files.
    To link to the Baggage File, you generally select the text or image the user will click to display the file, then click and drag the file from the Project Manager pod to the selected image or text.
    Or, if you wish to leave the PDF where it is on the web, just determine the URL that would open it. Create a hyperlink from an image or text that will open the file.
    Cheers... Rick

    query from the data abse and pass values to a pdf form
    Hello
    Hello i have this html report that i have written to output a
    report.
    now, i am assigned to pass the same fields to a pdf form so
    the fields in the adaobe form can be populated or the term
    Pre-populate the form.
    can anyone help me get started.
    first i would like to know if it can be done.
    second, what do i need to get started (tools )
    third how do i do this.
    i am really lost at this point.
    can anyone give me tips in how to approach this
    subject??

    It can be one using Adobe Acrobat Designer which is packaged
    with Acrobat
    Professional Pro 7. It uses all XML to create and populate
    forms.
    If you had the time, you can also create <cfdocument
    type="pdf"> to have
    them ready and just pass the info to it so it autogenerates
    the PDF on the
    fly.

  • Is it possible to get a check box's export value when it is OFF

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if I can set a check box export value to something like "S".
    I'll want to check all boxes whose export value is "S", but I want to detect if the export value is "S" when the box is NOT checked. Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance.

    Another option is to use COUNTIF for the column of checkboxes.
    =COUNTIF(B2:B9, TRUE)*3.75
    Any of the cells between B2 and B9 with a checkbox will be included in the count of people that paid the 3.75 amount. It does of course assume that the amount received is always 3.75.

  • Corrupted characters when importing PDFS to combined PDF

    When I import PDFS they are showing up in the combined PDF with corrupted characters. What's up?

    You probably nailed it on the head.  The fonts in the separate PDFs have issues already.  So when you attempt to combine them Acrobat tries to save and ... Voila!  Garbage characters.  You might be able to test this by exporting the separate PDF files to MS Word documents.  My guess is that you will get garbage characters on the same pages as you would when you combined the PDF files.
