Help creating a grid/form?

Hello, I'm new to Illustrator here (I have an older version when needed, but I used to use Freehand)
I'm used to setting up grids/forms by creating the first row, then duping it, aligning it, then dupe the aligned copy on down the page. (Cmd D)
(takes just a few seconds).
How do you do this in Illustrator?
Copy/Paste or option drag 30-40 times .... seems rather ineffective?
Also, I can't figure out how to get multiple items to align (left) and distribute(heights) with the paths touching without having to manually position them.
(It's one thing to position the first dupe, and then have it auto-align all subsequent dupes, but it's making me grind my teeth to manually position each row all the way down the page).
Can someone point me in the right direction here?
Thanks for any help or pointers!

Pictrix,
1. If I'm going to make grids (with variable widths of cols, and random numbers of rows) is that better accomplished in InDesign? Probably, but you may DirectSelect and move gridlines; and at some stage you have to decide the number of rows/columns.
2. Illustrator won't print to my printer (Photoshop does, however). I can get a PDF from AI to print though... do I use "Bridge" to tell it where to put the PDF's and what to do with them? (I'm a REAL newbie to Bridge, and everything but PS). I didn't see any options for that in the "print" dialog in AI. You should use a PostScript Driver (emulation) if printing from Illy, otherwise PDF is the way.
3. Does Illustrator only allow for one page per document? Basically, especially in older versions (where you may use Page Tiling), but multiple pages are easier in InDesign in any case.
4. Is there a pref setting that will just highlight the bounding box of the selected GROUP, rather than highlighting all the paths within the group when it is selected? No, unless introduced in later versions.
(It's more than a little discouraging that the first 3 things I try, aren't happening LOL-- although it did open up Freehand docs just fine, so there is that)
Thank you for your time.

Help create a start form.

I am just started learning workflow. Please tell me how to create a Start Forms.
I am create my first workflow and create a ABAP dictionary structure to hold the fields. Put the dictionary structure in a workflow container element. But when I try to create start forms in Basic Data i get a message saying "The container does not contain a suitable element for the form data".

Hi Igor,
Have you created the Workflow container with structure? Please try with any standard structure like ekpo.
Or if you trying with any Custom structure, then make sure that the structure is active.
If everything fine, but still not working then, in the workflow container tick the check box of import and export in Properties Tab.
Thanks,
Viji.

Need help creating a simple form in Dreamweaver CS3!!

I'm trying to create a form in Dreamweaver CS3, and while I have the form built I'm confused as to how to make it actually function. What I'm trying to do is create a form that when the visitor clicks submit, the data is emailed to me. Can someone help me figure out how to accomplish this?
Thanks so much!

Ute's answer is spot on - you need a FormMail script to process the form. Check with your host (or via the control panel) and see if they supply such a form for free.
If not, google for "formail script' and you'll find quite a few available - all free to use.
You just need to add a couple of lines to your html code, change a few things in the formmail script and the form will process. Sounds complicated but most scripts come with a help file to help you get off the ground.

Help creating .csv from forms 6i

Hello all, I we are running forms 6i webforms. The webforms are located on Unix. What is the best way to take the data from the webforms and create a .csv file? The ultimate goal is to have a file the user can open in excel. It would be great if Pseudo or actual code could be provided. How can would I go about creating a file with the file||datetime and have the user open the file. I'm thinking about calling reports and then using web.show_document, but how could I rename the Oracle report file? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
You can take customize the code and put in the required trigger.

Help creating scrollable content/ form

I am trying to create a scrollable from for a mobile phone,
but how can i get the form to scroll?
i also want to be able to have a large menu and form scroll
on the same screen.
does anyone know how to do this?

Hi soundsdead,
What is your experience of Flash development? If you are new
to Flash, then I suggest going through as many tutorials as you
can, because if someone tries to explain a scrollable menu and form
to you in one go you will become very confused very quickly.
There are lots of tutorials here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/devices/flashlite.html
and here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/
If you have been using Flash for a while, then developing a
scrollable menu and form for mobile would be exactly the same as
you would do it for the web.

Hi,
The first thing to do is concatenate the HIDDEN items in front of a displayed item:
SELECT DISTINCT
apex_item.HIDDEN(1,PE_BID) || apex_item.HIDDEN(2,PE_TERM_CODE) || apex_item.HIDDEN(3,PE_CRN) || apex_item.HIDDEN(4,PE_INSTRUCTOR_ID) || PE_BID PE_BID_DISPLAY,
..etc..That way, you don't have to worry about the first 4 columns in the report.
Then you need to double-check that the process is actually being run. Immediately after the BEGIN line, enter:
raise_application_error(apex_application.g_f01(1));When you submit the page, you should get an error showing the PE_BID value in the first row. If you don't get the error, then the process isn't being run - in which case, check the process to (A) make sure it is triggered by the Submit button and (B) is before any other sequence (especially if you have a "reset page" process). If you do get the error, but there is no value shown, then f01(1) isn't pointing to the PE_BID value - in which case, you should do a View Source on the loaded page and check for input items with a name attribute of "f01". If you get the error and the value is correct, then remove the above line and let the process run - it could be that concatenated the columns may resolve the issue. If, after all that, the process still won't save the data, let us know.

I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
I Have used a template from another site with the following
input boxes:
Name: __________
Email: __________
Comments: ____________
However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
script,
when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
messed the script up somhow.
When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
here is the code:
on submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
sent email messege
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
and the php script (mailer.php)
php form email.pho
<?php
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
// now we can add the content of the message to a body
variable
$message = $_POST["message"];
// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
sent?
Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
I want something like this:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Mobile:
Email:
Website:
Comments:
Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
a form that actually works, then add more text fields
Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
and php to add more fields easy.
I really need some help with this, its turning into a
nightmare for me.
I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
to take a look at what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Pan
ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
this line i know i must put in my own email.

This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
variables created on that timeline are sent.
So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
form timeline.
Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
we can tell you more specifically.

How do you create THIS "grid" in Oracle Forms

Hi,
I am new to Forms. I have to develop a grid very similar to the one shown here.
How can you create the grid in the bottom??
I can't see using any of the standard Oracle toolbox items (like multi-record blocks) for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
User 122...

Hi Soofi,
Appreciate your quick response.
In the image, can you see a huge grid?
Grid column headings are days of the week, Mon, Tue, Wed etc.
Grid Rows also have names, like Room, Status and Rm. Type.
Cells have various values in various colors (red, blue, green etc) and signs like ">>".
Can you see that??
My question is, how to create a grid like this in Oracle Forms??? We cannot do it using a multi record block.
So, how have they done it??? The form in the image is an actual Oracle Form from a hotel reservation system.

i did this exchange grid in web grid..any one can share the document or ppt or video clip related to this..which will be helpful for me...

Hi...
Its better to create the Exchange Rates in a Data Form than in an Data Grid, so that you can easily Import and Export the form and even can feed the values easily....
Select the POV like in Scenario-Actual,Year-Your particular year,Period-In Period Dimension do not choose any option so that it can be selected in Columns and Rows,View--the same as Period Dimension,Entity-[None],Value-<Entity Currency>,Account-Do Not select ,ICP- [ICP None],Custom 1-[None], Custom 2-[None], Custom 3-[None], Custom 4-[None]...
In Columns Select Scenario -Actual,Period-{[Fourth Generation]},Currency-#USD(Default Currency)
In Rows Select-Account-A#AVGRATE,View-w#Periodic,Currency-C2#EUR
A#AVGRATE.w#Periodic.C2#CFA and so on for rest of the currencies....
and same in the below rows for the Closing Rates---- A#CLORATE.w#Periodic.C2#EUR
A#CLORATE.w#Periodic.C2#CFA
This might help you.....

My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business.

My mail forms created by muse 2014.0.1.30 do not work. PHP 5.4 is enabled by my hoster, so they should work. Can anyone help me, for these forms are crucial for my business. The forms confirm delivery, but the mails are not recieved. No spam filters enabled.
Meanwhile, I was able to narrow the problem down: PHP seems not to accept a re-directed mail address as sender of the mail in some cases. So, it has nothing to do with the mail form itself.

Hi Ingo,
Please refer to this document, Troubleshooting Muse Form Widgets Used on Third-Party Servers
Last section, "I've uploaded my new Muse form, and tried submitting it in the browser, but I never receive an email with the form data. What's wrong?"

Need help in creating multiple signature forms?

need help in creating multiple signature forms that can be digitally signed in adobe reader

Automator gets a bit unweildy when trying to vary things outside of what the actions provide. Since you are already using an AppeScript in your workflow, might as well do the whole thing:
set baseFolder to (path to desktop) -- the location to create the folder
display dialog "Please provide a new folder name:" default answer "test"
set folderName to text returned of the result
repeat -- keep repeating until a number is returned
display dialog "How many subfolders?" default answer "5"
set theNumber to text returned of the result
    try -- test the result
      set theNumber to theNumber as integer
      exit repeat -- success
    end try
end repeat
tell application "Finder"
try -- make new folder
    set newFolder to (make new folder at baseFolder with properties {name:folderName})
on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    set newFolder to ((baseFolder as text) & folderName) as alias
end try
repeat with X from 1 to theNumber
    try -- make new subfolder
      make new folder at newFolder with properties {name:folderName & X}
    on error number -48 -- skip errors if the folder is already there
    end try
end repeat
end tell

Unless I am reading this incorrectly, in Acrobat Help, webpage http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html, it looks like step 5 under header "Distribute (send) forms to recipients" is incomplete.

Re: Help creating digital forms from paper forms on a mac

This is a pretty general question but does anyone know of a way to create a digital form from a scanned paper form on a mac? I know that people use software such as Nuance's Omniform on the Windows platforms but I can't seem to find such a program for the mac. Is there someway to pull this off using Adobe PDF files? I would appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks,

You can use Filemaker Pro and in the Layout section you drag "fields" around to represent any form you wish, draw lines and boxes, place pictures just like a page layout program but it's a database program.
You can then use these "fields" in any layout you wish, each record in the database will change the associated fields accordingly, name, address, phone etc etc.
I haven't used it in awhile, so I don't know if you can import a scan of a present paper form or not for a template, but it's rather easy to copy by measuring with a ruler.
Filemaker Pro so happens to be owned by Apple, but it's a seperate company, so you know it will work well.
If that's to much money for you, you can check out Appleworks, but I hear Apple isn't putting out any more updates for it, no Mactel version.
As always, learn to clone that boot dive before disaster strikes

Need help creating form that people have to submit to access a page

hello,
I am trying to create a form that people would have to fill out and submit to access a specific page. The info they fill out would have to go to an email address. Does anyone have the simplest solution for this? It wouldn't have to be stored in a database just go to an email. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not to great with the backend of things.

Thanks for getting back to me. What I have is a pricing page. The feedback form is so we can see who views or is interested in services. We want only people who fill out this form to be able to view it. I have created simple contact forms that are sent to an email and directed to another page. The problem I am having is trying to figure a way to where hopefully if the same person comes back they won't have to fill out the form again. I know if they fill out the form and create a user name/login it could be a possible fix but I am trying to make it simple. I am just starting to learn PHP/XML (which I have copied from another sources) and haven't written my own. Maybe creating a cookie that is checked once the page is loaded? I have no idea how to do that either though... I am a front end "designer" and a lot of this is greek to me.
