Hiding field borders in Designer form based on PDF static artwork

Anyone know the logic behind this?
It seems that if you create a form from scratch in LiveCycle Designer ES3, you do have the possibility of setting edges for e.g. text fields to be None - rendering them usable (you can tab to them), but invisible. However, given there is no underlying artwork, you probably would not want this.
However, when you are basing a form design on a PDF artwork (e.g. from InDesign) when you are far more likely to want your fields to be 'invisible' - Designer does not allow it.
So, if - for example - your PDF artwork contains some great 'graphic' field areas that you want to make fillable in Designer, you seem to have to endure having Designer plonk its own 'lines and squares' on top (not so pretty).
This seems an odd state of affairs - it seems obvious that if you are bringing in pre-existing artwork, then in most cases the fields will have been done by the DTP person (to keep the graphic integirty of the design). So, anyone bringing it into Designer would assume that Designer could put interactive fields on top, but as 'see through' fields - just as Acrobat can do.
Is there any technical reason why Designer can't do this? Seems a bit weird.

  • How to change the fields in a JSF form based on a URL parameter

    I am trying to build a generic JSF form of parameters which I want to dynamically change (i.e.
    change which field is visible, what the label text should be, etc) based on a URL parameter.
    I can set the fields using logic in the backing bean as an action on a command button pressed.
    But how do I do it based on the URL parameter ? I can retrieve the URL parameter but I
    don't know where to put (or hook) the Java code to do this initialization prior to
    the page being rendered for the first time.
    The fields in the JSF is being configured dynamically using a database table.
    BTW I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.5
    Thanks
    CK

    Thanks. I decided to set a Session bean to store the value of the URL parameter (if it is set)
    and then to use the session bean to initialize the attributes of the fields on the JSF Page.
    There also seems to be some caching of the inputText fields (i.e. it reverts back to the first
    initialized value) even though I tried to change it using the URL parameter in the requestScope
    backing bean. So, setting the values into the Session bean and retrieving it back from there
    seems to be more reliable.

  • How to populate a field in an Infopath form based on the people picker input - only OOTB approach

    Hello,
    I have 3 lists : Resource , Project, Contract
    In "Contract" list i have created a form with MS Infopath 2010. This form is used to collect data of a new resource joining a project . This form also takes the information about the resource's costs.
    Scenario :
    Project informations are already present in the "Project" list.
    Any new resource who will be joining a project will be added in the "Resource" list at first . This list has its own form to do so. While adding this resource the form asks for the project which should be assigned. This is dealt with.
    "Contract" list : In this lists form their is a people picker field where the resource email id(already inserted in "Resource" list earlier) will be typed by me. There is a field which will capture the project name.
    Issue in "Contract" list:
    When i type the resource email id and click on the people picker icon , the project field in the form should get auto populated with the corresponding project of the existing resource so that i donot have to type the project name again. This project info
    should be fetched from "Resource" list only.
    Please let me know how i can achieve this by OOTB approach .

  • How to autopopulate fields in a portal form based on database procedure?

    Dear gurus, I am a newbie to the portal world and i have a rather unique problem. I have searched online but still cant find a solution to my problem. I have a portal form (AS version 10.1.4) based on a db procedure that accepts only one parameter. The form has about 12 fields, two of which are combo boxes. Because of the relationship b/n combo box 1 and combo box 2 and the rest of the form fields, the user has to start out by selecting a value in combo box 1. This auto populates combo box 2 (based on the previous selection). However, when the user selects a value from the populated combo box 2, this is supposed to trigger an action to query the database and retrieve values for the remainder of the form fields and populate them accordingly.
    I tried to use p_session.get and set values but discovered that one cannot do this with form fields that are based on a procedure. I could write javascript to call a database procedure but i am not sure how to pass the return values from the database back to the javascript routine and then populate the remaining fields accordingly.
    HELP ME PLEASE!!!
    Thanks

    Hi Venkat, create a section (section control) for each set of columns you want to hide/reveal. Put your columns in that section. Then set a rule on the dropdown so that if dropdown = "this" then show "this" section.

  • Fields on single-row Form based on Query

    We are implementing a front-end for Oracle Reports using HTMLDB. We have all of our reports and their parameters set up in tables, along with the specification for where to obtain the values to display for the parameters. The tables also specify the display order for the params.
    In HTMLDB we need to have the "parameter screen" display when the user selects a report from the tree based on report_id. I created a report based on a query referencing the :p_rpt_id from the tree which lists the parameters for the selected report.
    So far no problem. Now, then next step is to implement conditional lists of values on the parameters based on the definitions in the parameters tables.
    Some parameters have an unconditional source for values, some have onchange requirement (ie, when you pick a region in p_region the values available in p_customer would include only those in p_region). Each parameter in our table also includes an attribute to specify the type of htmldb_item to render (select list, popup, checkbox etc).
    I can get the parameter "report" setup to render the lov's based on the correct sources, but I cannot see where to incorporate the onchange trigger for the "parent" parameters (p_region in the example), or how to get the value from p_region when rendering the lov for p_customer.
    Any tips on how to get around this problem?

    I think I've managed to work thru the previously stated issues except for one remaining stumbling block:
    Test Case:
    Report ID: 36
    Parameters:
    1 Year FISCAL_YR_V
    2 Month/Qtr MTH_QTR_V
    3 Month FISCAL_MONTH_V
    4 Chain ADDR_CHAIN_V
    etc.
    Params 1,2,4 are generated with htmldb_item.select_list_from_query and htmldb_item.popup_from_query depending on the LOV type specified for the parameter.
    Param 3 is also generated by htmldb_item.select_list_from query but its query parameter includes a WHERE clause referencing the value set by param 2 when the onchange event fired.
    The problem is the generated lov for param 3 returns no values. Depending on the selection of param 2 (M or Q) the values for param 3 would be 1-12 or 1-4 (respectively). I've tried both of the following in the query for the dependent lov:
    where reference_id = :P10_F02
    where reference_id = v('P10_F02')
    Neither returns any values. I've verified that the correct value for param 2 (M or Q) is being set in the session state by the onchange event on that parameter.
    Is there something I'm not setting to cause the query for the dependent lov to bind the new value of P10_F02 when the onchange event fires?

  • Livecycle designer form accessibility in PDF

    HI!
    I have created a form in LiveCycle.  When it opens in PDF and I run the accessiblitiy checker it says that the language is not defined for the form?  How do I define it.
    Also In PDF there is a Keywords section that I can't figure out how to populate in Livecycle so if filters over to PDF.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    jodi

    Hi,
    I am not sure about the language specification. I could only run an accessibility check on a static PDF form. Like you, it could not determine the language specification for the text objects. I would have expected the Form Locale to have set this, but it seems not to be the case:
    In relation to the Keywords, you can add these to a form in Designer. However you have to do this manually in the XML Source tab:
    Add your keywords into the <rdf:Description> tag after <pdf:Producer>. Bound by a <pdf:Keywords> tag.
    Hope that helps,

  • Create form Based on PDF and import template

    Hey, I am printing a standard document to a PDF file. We then want to take this PDF file and add an editable comment fields. I can do this manually, but it takes awhile to add all the comments fields, and it has to be done for several PDF files. Is there anyway I can import the PDF file, then apply a template that would simply add the editable comment fields?

  • Syntax for sum in Smart Form based on Selection criteria in Program.

    Hi,
    We have created smart form for printing confirmation entries in desired format. We have given some selection criteria in the program. Now, we want to do the sum of certain fields in the smart form based on selection criteria given in program and selection screen.
    But we are getting wrong sum in the smart form than expected.
    When we debug the program during run time, we are getting correct records as per our expectations. But result of sum in the out put is not as per given selection criteria.
    Do we need to establish link between "select option" and "Smart form"? How can we use internal table created for select option in the smart form?
    Thanks & regards
    Vijay

    Hi,
    There will be no option to sum the values in smartforms, You just have to sum and append the data to internal table and display the internal table data in the form.

  • Customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer

    Hi,
    i have a created a Custom approval workflow using SharePoint Designer 2010. This is two steps approval WF, All i did put the variable "CancelonRejection" Value "Yes" and one Approval action with 2 different users as Serial. Right now
    Status, Requested by, Consolidated comments and comment fields are available on the approval form. Now i want to add some fields with radio buttons on Approval Form, so that 1st approver can select those radio/check box. Once 1st approver will approved this
    then display all the values on 2nd approver approval from or send email to 2nd approver along with all the information from 1st approver.
    Thanks in advanced!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to customize Approval Form to add custom fields using SharePoint Designer.
    In the SharePoint Designer, you can customize the task form.
    Here is a great article for your reference:
    Creating Custom Workflow Task Approval Forms with SharePoint Designer 2010
    However, every task can only have one task form.
    That is to say, the two approvors will have the same task form.
    As a workaround, I recommend to customzie the task form using InfoPath.
    You can create different view for the approvors.
    You need to add form load rules to swich views based on the approvors.

  • Create Custom list form and validate fields using sharepoint designer 2010

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to create a custom job application form which will be filled and submitted by anonymous users. I have a an option to create custom user control web part but I wanted to
    create it using custom list form using SharePoint designer. My requirement is below
    Date of birth (user age should be above 22yrs )
    Email Validation
    Phone validation
    Resume attachment (should attach only word documents or PDF)
    Qualification (If other is selected then show textbox else hide)
    Can above validations be done using SharePoint designer (JavaScript or validation controls)? Or do I have to create custom control web part?
    MercuryMan

    Hello,
    I think jquery/javascript can be used to put validations on those fields. Fortunately some of validation can be done via sharepoint itself like: email, phone, age. For Attachment and Qualification fields use jquery/JS.

    Hi sushmita,
    Thanks for ur reply.
    The solution which you have given i have  already tried but not working.
    my requirement is like MGR or HR can initiate the process.
    if only MGR intiates the process the solution which u have given will work.
    but here i have a diff scenario.i have created separate process for HR also but im not able
    to see that process on the process list.
    so i have to use only one process and resolve this.whatever im writing validation is working
    only when MGR initiates the process but fails when HR initiates.
    Hope u got my point.any suggestions will be helpful.
    Thanks,
