Hiding field in SAP PDF form

Hi Experts,
I am hiding a field in PDF form.
But the problem is , form reserving space for that field after field hidden.
Could any body tell how we can remove that space if we hidden the field.
regards,
subba

Hi,
You have an option in for the field you want to hide in Palettes - > Object where you have mentioned it as invisible
Instead of Invisible make it as Hidden (Exclude from Layout) so your space will not get reserved and it will not be printed on the form also..
Hope this is what you have asked for.
If not please explain the requirement more clearly.
Thanks&Regards

I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form into Microsoft Word or notepad....Help! thank you!

I am unable to copy fillable fields from a pdf form I created in Adobe X Pro into a Microsoft Word or Notepad document. Please help! Thank you!!

I have created a fillable form. Part of the information from that form needs to be copied and sent to another department at work. Once i complete the fillable form (e.g. select options from a drop down, enter test in test boxes that are on the form) when i copy that section, i only get the non-fillable information pasted into word or notepad, the drop down selections and fillable text do not copy.

Updating a user text field in sap system form in Find Mode

Dear All,
                I created a Edit text field in Sap System form [FormType :149] -Sales Quotation. I want to update a value to the text while clicking OK button in Find Mode. the code is given below.
If pVal.ItemUID = "1" And pVal.FormMode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE And (Not pVal.Before_Action) And pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CLICK Then
        oForm = SBO_App.Forms.Item(FormUID)
        oForm.Freeze(True)
        oItem = oForm.Items.Item("txtUID")
        oEdit = oItem.Specific
        oRS = ConSBOdb.Execute("Select * from BG_CAMPAIGNSHDR where CMIDENT ='" & Trim(oEdit.Value) & "'")
        oItem = oForm.Items.Item("txtCampgn")         ' // User created field
        oItem.Enabled = False

Hi,
Try This..
If pVal.FormType = 149 And pVal.ItemUID = "1" Then
            If pVal.FormMode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE Then
                If pVal.Before_Action = False Then
                    If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED Then
                        Try
                            oForm = SBO_App.Forms.Item(FormUID)
                            oForm.Freeze(True)
                            oItem = oForm.Items.Item("txtUID")
                            oEdit = oItem.Specific
                            oRS = ConSBOdb.Execute("Select * from BG_CAMPAIGNSHDR where CMIDENT ='" & Trim(oEdit.Value) & "'")
                            oItem = oForm.Items.Item("txtCampgn") ' // User created field

                            oEdit = oItem.Specific
                            If oRS.EOF = False Then
                                oEdit.Value = oRS.Fields("CMNAME").Value
                            Else
                                oEdit.Value = ""

Table fields to match pdf form

I found this on my formscentral help file.
Note: Some types of form fields aren’t supported when you import a PDF form. For example, text fields with formatting applied, such as numeric or percentage fields, are converted to plain text fields. And, signature fields aren’t converted, as Adobe FormsCentral doesn’t support this type of field.
For more information, see Issues encountered while importing an existing PDF form.
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2533
What I have experienced.
Formscentral does not allow you to format the table in their views when you use a pdf as the form, only if you use the online form.
I found that when out when I got 6 decimal points when multiplying tax, which was .04166. On the pdf it defaults to 2 decimals.
Another thing I noticed. My pdf form date field was set to MM/dd/YY. When I just put in 5/06 in that field, on the pdf form it auto corrected it to 05/06/13. When that pdf form was submitted to formscentral, that field showed 5/06. So it is pulling exactly what you input into the pdf form regardless of how the pdf form corrects your mistakes.
My real question is if Formscentral Is working to allow you to set the table format to work with pdf's too?
If not are you working to add calculated fields to the online form?
Not complaining just wanting. The product is awsome as is but this would take it a step further.

Javascript to fill text field from other PDF form

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to add javascript to a text field that when initiated pulls text from another field in a closed pdf in the same directory.
For example I have a NAME field in the pdf form I am working in....
When I initiate the script the NAME field is filled in with the same data from another PDF that is closed.

I have looked up the 'disclosed' property and it looks like that is what I want to do..
I have "this.disclosed = true" in a PDF with the name field. On the other PDF that I want the information replicated I am going to add a javascript to an action somewhere on the document, my problem is which script do I use to get this data from the other pdf? Is the pdf that is now accessible via javascript (disclosed) a data object?

Linking a radio button to a text field in a pdf form

Forgive my ignorance but does anyone know how to link a radio button to a text field in an Acobat pdf form?
I have a series of 4 radio buttons. If you click on one of them I would like to activate a text field which you then have to fill in. In addition it would be good to have it so that if you don't click on the radio button you're not able to fill in the associated text box.
I am a designer not a programmer so I don't know much about javascript. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

You might want to look at Hiding and Showing Form Fields by Thom Parker. You might also want to clear the text field when the radio button changes.

How do I change the order of the fields in my pdf form?

I am using pdf. form I made in Acrobat and distributing with Adobe FormsCentral. We use a table format for our teachers to fill out their field trip schedules and therefore use many different fields.
How can I change the order of the fields (not for tabbing, we figured that out)...so that when we receive our notification email, I can see the inforamtion in a specific order (Date, Time, School, Program, etc).
We would also like this same order to appear in the "View Responses" table. I know you can drag and drop the order in the table but we have over 100 fields and that is going to take a really long time.
Please help???

What do you mean by the "order they appear in the pdf structure"? What is the "Pdf structure"?
thank you for your help... this is really upsetting, as I thought we finally found a solution with Adobe Forms : (
We really need the fields to report back in a specific order and wouldn't have time to rearrange over 100 fields with every form that is submitted. We receive about 10-20 different forms a day (same form layout, just some of the fields will have to be prefilled depending on school/teacher reservation... so we have to name each form a different name, for each school).
Thank you again and maybe one day they will change that. Is there anyway to set it up in the web verison of Adobe FormsCentral to look similar to the table we have created?

Can I auto-populate fields in a pdf form based on responses in other fields (using Acrobat XI PRO)?

I am creating a fillable pdf form using Acrobat XI Pro and would like to be able to auto-populate text fields in one section of the form based on responses entered by respondents in an earlier section. Is this possible? If so, would it function for respondents using Adobe Reader to complete the form?
Many thanks,
Andy

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

Delete leading zeros for a field on the pdf form

Hi,
i know it is possible to delete leading zeros via abap coding in the interface.
But is it also possible to this directly on the pdf form - scripting or a setting?
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

I believe you can set this up as a field display pattern (if you use LCD 8.1 or something like that).
Or you can script that out. In formcalc you can easily process characater by character, test if that is zero and remove it.

Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?

How to fill in fields in a PDF form? I have downloaded the Adobe Reader x 10.0.1.

I have the Adobe Reader x 10.0.1. Free version.
I downloaded a PDF form and open the document but cannot fill in any of the fields. With the form opened I look at File/Properties/security which shows "Filling of the form fields": Allowed.
I do not find "Typewriter" under view.
How can I type in to fill the fields

Unlinking Copied Fields in a PDF Form

I've created a PDF form with 100+ text fields which have identical size and properties. To place those fields in the form, I simply copied them, giving each one a different name. In the sample below, the fields are the blue squares.
When I fill in the first field, that value appears in the other fields. For example, when I keyed in the number 3 above, that number automatically appeared in the field directly below. How can I unlink all of them so that each field might have a unique value which doesn't automatically appear in the other fields?
I realize one answer would be to tediously create each field as a separate entity, but that would so time consumming.
Many thanks for any suggestions!

Dear George,
Many thanks for replying so quickly.
I tried your suggestion. When I right-clicked on one of the 100+ fields in the form and selected "place multiple fields" I received the following error message:
I'm not sure what to do next. Would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks,

How could I fill in the fields in a PDF form.

Hello,
I received a form in PDF format that has fields to be filled in.
I coulld not type in the fields in my computer that has Win 7 or in my Mac Book Air that has Snow Leopard.
The pdf form protection -> Security Properties-> has "filling of Form Filelds" as -> Allowed.
Regards

Are you sure those are real fields, and not just graphic elements that looks like fields?
At any rate, if they are fields but they are locked, for example, then there's nothing you can do. You need Acrobat to unlock them.
