Help! How do I get the cursor to start at the first field of my form?

I've just built a dozen forms fo rour business with Acrobat 9 Extended and would like the cursor to start on the first field of the forms when the PDF is first pulled up. I've looked everywhere, read all the Helps but can't find anything on how to make this happen. Is this so easy I'm missing it or what?

You're right, its not a big deal but its the little things that make life
more interesting.
Hey, thanks a lot for your help. You're making me look smart and that
really is a big deal.
Regards,

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

(JTable) How can i get the first columns cell in a selected row?

Hello. I am trying to figure out how i can get the first columns cell within a selected row no matter what cell is selected in that row. I have a class that extends AbstractTableModel which represents the table. Now i have another class that extends DefaultSelectionModel. Each model is added to the JTable via setModel(TableModel dataModel), setSelectionModel(ListSelectionModel newModel). Now i don't understand what i have to return from getMaxSelectionIndex(). Any ides? Thanks.
class xTableModel extends AbstractTableModel{
     private static String[] cols;
     private Object[][] data;
        public void setTableModel(Object data[][], String[] cols){
         this.cols = cols;

         return data.length;
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
         return data[row][col];

int row = table.getSelectedRow();
Object data = table.getValueAt(row, 0);

PPD field grayed out.....How do I get the PPD field populated? Windows 7 x64

I have an employee running Illustrator in the Creative Cloud and for whatever reason her PPD field is grayed out when she goes to print. My other two employees running this both have the Fiery file for the printer we have as an option. Any idea how I can get the PPD field populated?

Permissions issues on the PPD files or the printer... Or the driver has never been fully installed in the first place due to whatever technical or again permissions issues...

EBS field how can we get the information that on which form this filed is

we are doing some data mapping activity for datawarehousing if we are given some EBS field how can we get the information that on which form this filed is located is there any good method

Hi Kapoor,
please give also others a chance, and excuse that I get up late on vacation ;-)
Anyway, I'd keep the story creation responder to recognize the copy, then combine it with an observer on the backing xml story to catch the associated XML element which is created there. Something like below:
UIDRef xmlStoryRef = Utils<IXMLUtils>()->GetBackingStore(doc);
InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject ( xmlStoryRef,IID_ISUBJECT );
subject->AttachObserver(observer,IID_IIDXMLELEMENT,observer->GetAttachIID());

I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB.

Hello Lisa,
Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes. Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

Plz Help, How can I get the Information from the net conneted machine?

Suppose Person x has login on the network by using
dial-up network connection? I want to know that wheather he is on the network and get the data from his machine ?
Suppose I know his username/Password and phone no
for dial up...
Plz, suggest me how can I do this?
How can get information from that machine?
Thanks
Pramod

Hi,
I dont know whether I understood your question completely.Anyway,let the users be X and Y and be on diff machines,
Since X is logging in using a dialup network the ip is allotted dynamically and so, Y cannot know X's ip till he logs in and tell Y about it explicitly. Workaround is that either X's or Y's ip must be constant/static or there should be another way that X know about the ip of Y each time he logs in.
If X's ip is static, Y can poll certain port at X where u's alpplication is running and if conn. is succ, after some authentication, get the information u want. For writing u'r own services there should be u'r own components at both ends, one requesting connection and other accepting. Please get back to me if more doubts or if I have'nt understood u'r problem fully..

How do I get the text in a fillable form to print?

I have a unique problem in that I frequently use fillable forms downloaded from one particular site (court forms). All of the forms I can fill in and print without a problem...except for one. I can fill it out, save it, but when it prints, it prints out blank. I assume there is somet mistake with this particular form that the permissions are set to not allow the text to print, but I can't figure out how or if I can change that. Again, it's only with this one form (see link below). I have no such problem with any other fillable PDF on this or any other site.
http://www.courts.state.hi.us/docs/form/hawaii/3FP272.pdf
Thanks for any help.

Report this issue to the form's authors. Since it's secured it's not easy to find out what the cause of the problem is, but more than likely they set up the fields as "visible, but doesn't print", instead of "visible".

How can i get the value from a HTML Form

hi,
I am using HTML form (logfrm). there are userId field,password field, submit button,reset button, and a link.
when i click on the link, it should fetch the value of userid.
How it is possible?
AE

use jsp:
which lets you embed java statments in your html -so you when you click on the link you can use request.getParameter("userID") to get the userid.
Ideally with html forms use a combination of jsp and java beans, where the fields in the form are also fields in your java bean, which you can access through setters and getters.
google for some jsp tutorials.

How do you get the custom fields added to a address book to show up on Pages 09 when merging fields?

I created some custom fields in the address book and want to get them merged into a Pages 09 document. When using the merge fields feature in Pages, only the standard fields are displayed. I am looking for a way to have the custom fields from the address book inserted into the document.

I believe you will find them if you go to table - unhide all columns. When you drag and drop card(s) into pages, it automatically shows default fields. The others are there but hidden. I hope this works for you!

How do I get the active field of DateEditor in JSpinner?

Hi Everybody,
I have a JSpinner which uses a DateEditor and displayes the date in "dd/MM/yyyy" format in it. I have over ridden the default behaviour of Up and Down arrow button components of it as per my requirements. Now I want to extend the functionality to change the value of the date on the basis of what is the highlighted field.
ie if the month is highlighted then the day and year need to
remain the same but month should increase.and if day is higlited it
shud follow the normal pattern and if year is highlighted the year should
move forward keeping the month and date same (no doubt after 12 months increment it is supposed to go to next year). Here is my code:

Simmi,
you need to check in SE11(data dictionary) with the specified tachnical names.
comming to selective deletion...
divide the data into segments based on the organizational values.
take the material group. check with any consultant. ask simple qustion how many material group we have?
take the case 5 mat1, mat2, mat3, mat4, mat5. Delete the values based on that. Menas that... entire infocube defined into 5 segments.
Before deleting make sure u have taken correct charecterstic. if you can give us the scenario we can let you know how can we delete the data with out effecting existing business process.
alll the best.

HT1918 how can i get the first device i put in out and the second one to stay in without time restrictions?

So I've been having an apple account before I got my first and only iphone. But I plugged in my friend's device first into my account and the account read it as the owner device of the ID. Two days later, I plugged in my device and read it as a second device in the accound and therefore, my device is just "borrowing" the ID and it set a time limit to use it. But it needs to be the other way around. The first device is not mine and I want it out, and I want the second device in as the owner of the apple account.
What do I do?
I've already removed the first device,but it still has a time restriction on the second device. THE SECOND DEVICE IS MY DEVICE AND ITS MY ACCOUNT!

"Well, since its the first device into the account, I guess the account read it as the "owner" device of the account."
There is no such thing as "owner" device at all.
"Apparently, the account read it as the second device and thought that it was "borrowing" the account since it was the second device"
There is no such thing as "borrowing" the account. You can use your account from ANY device/computer that has itunes.
You seem to completely misunderstand the way it works.
There is no time limit. You are confucing your account with associated devices:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
If you want to buy music from your iphone, simply go to Settings and sign into your account.
The musci your friend bought using your account belongs to you and it is not legal from your friend to use.

How do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

HELP, how do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

iPhones are not designed to be user servicable.
There is no reason to remove the battery.
If you believe the battery is defective or no longer holding sufficient charge, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
Attempts to open the device by anyone other than Apple will void all rights to support from Apple.

Hi,
Please use the following function to get first fiday of any month, we have to pass month,year as varchar2 as input to this function and it will return the
date in char format, we can convert it to date.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION find_fri
(p_month VARCHAR2,
p_year VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
p_friday VARCHAR2(15);
BEGIN
SELECT (CASE triM(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(p_month||'-'||p_year,'mm-yyyy'),'DAY')) WHEN 'MONDAY' THEN TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(p_month||'-'||p_year,'mm-yyyy')+4 ,'DD-MM-RRRR')
