Highlighting field, if it's a repeat/duplicate throughout report

I want a field to highlight if it's an repeat/duplicate through out the report. I'm using =iif(Fields!PART_ID.Value =previous(Fields!PART_ID.Value), "yellow", "transparent") and currently it only works within a group section of the report.
Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Shi,
According to your description, you want to highlight an repeat/duplicate data for one field ([Group]) when the field isn’t a group section.
In your scenario, we can add a sorting based on [Group] field within the tablix. Then we can specify the BackgroundColor for [Group] field with pervious function. Please refer to steps below:
1. Open Tablix Properties, add a sorting based on [Group] field on Sorting page.
2. Open Text Box Properties for [Group] field, specify the fill color with expression below on Fill page:
=IIF(Fields!Group.Value=previous(Fields!Group.Value),"Red","Transparent")
3. Preview the report.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

  • Is it possible to change the colour of the highlighted fields in a form? And if so how?

    Hi there,
    I would like to know how to change the highlighted fields that show up on a form once it has been designed and PDF'd. I know i can turn it on or off but i would like to just change the colour so it matches our styling of the company.
    Is there a way to do this and if so how??? If not thats fine i just need to know if there is a way.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What do you mean by travel? Is that when it wont change all settings across the board? e.g another staff member with adobe acrobat wont have the same settings as i do?
    I am the only one creating the forms and using any adobe settings anyway so i guess it wont really matter that they dont have the same settings as i do but its not hard to change them on all pc's anyway.
    Thanks though.

  • Filling up a pdf form which I received as email. I opened it on my adobe reader 11 and filled up the highlighted fields. Yet when I click on the send via mail it says changes will not be included. How do I send the form with changes?

    The add annotations field shows as not allowed in the security options. So how do I send this form back with the changes??

    I think you you need to click 'save' first, then it is saved to acrobat, where it will prompt to send.

  • How to disable the blue highlight fields around links in a PDF in Adobe Reader 10.2?

    I've created a document in InDesign CS5, and when viewed on Adobe Reader 10.2 (on an iPad) all the table of contents links within the document, and all links to external websites have a blue highlight field around them. While I appreciate the fact that it makes it obvious where links are, it looks remarkably ugly to have huge blue highlights all over the document. There must be a way to turn these highlights off, right? Either from the source document within InDesign before the PDF is created, or from within Adobe Reader or Acrobat after the PDF is made? I have all the links within InDesign set to "Invisible Rectangle", and it looks great when viewed on older versions of Adobe Reader or in iBooks. Unfortunately, older versions of Adobe Reader don't support hyperlinks on tablets. So somebody using Reader 10.2, however, is now forced to view this document with ugly blue highlights. Is the only option to avoid the highlights to recommend everyone use iBooks to view the document, or is there a way in Reader 10.2 to disable these?

    Might be better to post this in the Acrobat or Indesign forums.

  • Highlight Fields as default for PDF Forms

    Hello all,
         I've recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which get marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users have to click first on "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is there a way to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?
    Cheers,
    David

    The suggested code didn't work for me with Adobe Reader 8.0.  However, since I am a novice at this, I may not be adding the code correctly -- can you please tell me if this JavaScript client code for layout:ready is correct or not?  I added the code in red.  (I am using LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496).  It seems to be in the right place because if I alter the code to unconditionally set app.runtimeHighlight to false, then when I open up the form with Reader 9.0, the highlighted fields are off.
    form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.CurrentPage::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
    this.rawValue
    =xfa.layout.page(this);
    // Turn on highlighted fields
    if 
    (!app.runtimeHighlight){
    app.runtimeHighlight
    = true;}
    form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.PageCount::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
    this.rawValue
    = xfa.layout.pageCount();
    // Turn on highlighted fields
    if 
    (!app.runtimeHighlight){
    app.runtimeHighlight
    = true;}

  • Disabling forms/highlight fields in a PDF

    Hello, all,
    I've created a button-heavy PDF in inDesign and the exported result is giving me some problems. It's prompting the highlight fields/"please fill out the following form" in Acrobat. How, how, how in the WORLD can I get rid of it? There is no form to fill out, only a lot of buttons (some of them within text) and I can't delete them or else I lose interactivity. I just need to force the forms prompt to go away, if possible. Is there a Javascript solution out there?
    Thanks so much!

    Thanks for replying! I had no idea about the buttons being form fields! The Javascript idea (though I'm crap at it) is a good one for the future, but this project has gotten out of hand as it is.
    I think I may have solved the problem, though -- by accident! I need to assign password access to the document for read/write, and it seems to have taken away the dialog box. I can only hope...
    Thanks again!

  • Highlighted Fields in forms to be switched off when opening a pdf form

    I have created a simple form and understand that when different machines open the forms that the "Highlight Fields" is either on or off depending on how each user has their reader setup. Is there any way that when I create the form and tell reader when it is opened to have the highlight fields switched off?

    Yes, but it's an app-wide setting and it's is considered "rude" behaivour
    to make such changes without at least informing the user of it, or (better
    yet) ask for their permission to do so.

  • Highlight Fields when PDF is opened - LiveCycle 8

    LiveCycle 8
    Win XP
    Hi,
    I'm trying to automatically highlight the form fields on a PDF when it is opened. I want the form to act as though the user has chosen the "Highlight Fields" option/button.
    I would prefer a javascript function to fire (on itialize?) so I don't have to attach code to every field and possibly allow me to easily use it on future PDFs.
    My current thoughts are to loop through all fields on the form and set the fillColor property to a light blue "221,228,255". Here's the javascript I'm currently trying to use:
    for (var i=0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++){
    ]var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i,"fields");
    ]var nodesLength = oFields.length;
    ]for (var j=0; j< nodesLength; j++){
    ]]var oItem = oFields.item(j);
    ]]oItem.fillColor = "221,228,255";
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to get it to work. Also, I'm not sure where to put it once it does work so that it fires when the PDF is opened.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    In the File > Form Properties menu opens the dialog window. Go to the Defaults tab and check that the "Save script changes" is set to 'Automatic'. This will make sure that changes to the form from script changes will be saved with the form and honored when the form is reopened.

  • "Highlight Fields" option disappeared

    I have been creating a bunch of editable PDFs (PDF forms) using Acrobat 8 Professional. I simply created a PDF from a Word doc, and, using the Forms Toolbar, inserted text fields, checkboxes, etc - no problem.
    When I open any of the PDF forms I created in the first round with Acrobat Reader, I get a purple bar along the top that allows me to toggle a "Highlight Fields" setting.
    For some reason, PDF forms I now create no longer have that purple bar along the top. I don't recall changing any settings, but imagine I must have at some point.
    Can anyone help?

    I've tried creating new PDF forms with a single and multiple (3) text fields.
    Also, I don't think it's a setting of Adobe Reader, as users see the purple bar for some PDFs, but not others - without changing settings ...

  • Highlight Fields Option on Forms

    Hi, I have noticed when I place form fields in documents in Acrobat 8 professional, that sometimes it automatically creates an icon at the top left, just above the "Pages" icon, for having the purple bar accross the top of the page with the button to highlight the fields. But sometimes after placing form fields in a document it doesn't enable this option. And even when I look in the "Forms" menu dropdown the option to highlight fields is grayed out. Why does it lock this option off on some files and how can I manage this option? FYI: I don't have the box checked under edit preferences for "Forms" that says "Always hide forms document message bar".
    Thanks

    Ok thanks that seems to be it. I added two more fields to a file that only had one and it did seem to enable it. Seems odd that Adobe requires at least three before this can be enabled instead of simply if the file has fields or not.

  • Syntax or Flag to enable automatically "Highlight Fields" in Adobe Reader

    Hi all.
    I'm searching for a syntax or a flag in LiveCycle Designer that enables you the option "Highlight Fields" automatically in Adobe® Reader® 7+.
    Is it possible to do that?
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards Corsin

    "app.runtimeHighlight" holds the value and you may turn on by setting it to 'true' or off by setting it to 'false'.
    In my case I set it to off at form:ready event.
    if (app.runtimeHighlight == true) app.runtimeHighlight = false;
    Good Luck,

  • Highlighted field

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Adobe Reader 8.1 and the Highlighted fields.
    There is a form A designed in designer 8.2 and the form properties are set to be compatible with reader 8.1 or later.
    In this form, there is just a "Textfield".
    "A" is render with the Default Render PDF form service.I open the form in Workspace.
    -->The field works well in Reader 8.1 and 9.
    I add a step at the end of the render to apply Usage rights. I open the form in workspace.
    -->The rights are well apply.
    -->The field doesn't appear anymore in blue with red border even in click the button in workspace (Reader 8.1).
    -->The field works well with reader 9.
    I save the form outside the browser on my desktop. I open the form (Reader 8.1).
    --> The field works well.
    Thanks you for any advice.

    Hi Howard,
    First thanks for your solution.
    I try it but there is no results.
    I remove the Form Augmenter service in the "Render PDF Form ES Update 1" and add the Form Bridge component in my form. I'm not use to use this object, I just drag and drop the object into the form, is there anything else to do ?
    Thank you.

  • Highlight fields in a calendar

    My project involved in creating a Google like calendar allow users to highlight their schedule. Is there a way to do it without using JSF and Ajax? How about just using javascript and jsp? If it not possible, is there any example codes/links on using JSF and Ajax to allow users to highlight fields? Thanks for any help!
    Regards,
    Johnny

    Highlighting is just a change of background-color (and maybe also the foreground-color) of the style. You can do it with JavaScript using the onclick attribute.
    onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#ff0000';"oronclick="this.style.className='highlightClass';"With JSF you have to submit the form to the server and then just use EL to change the style. Basic example:styleClass="#{myBean.highlighted ? 'highlightClass' : 'defaultClass'}"Using AJAX you can do it asynchronously.

  • Forcing on Highlight Fields upon Open and Saving in Acrobat Reader

    I'm using the Actions panel in the Page Properties to turn on the Highlight Fields when my PDF document is opened using:
    if (!app.runtimeHighlight){
    app.runtimeHighlight = true;
    and this works perfectly, however this document is being viewed mostly in Acrobat Reader. In order to allow my users to save the content in the forms I turned on, "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader".
    The first time this new file is opened, the field highlights turn on, however after content is saved to the forms and the document is resaved the Highlight Fields no long turn on when the document is opened.
    How can I utilize both of these options even after the file is resaved?
    Thanks

    It should work better if you add this script as a document-level script, instead of a pageOpen script.
    However, keep in mind that you are changing an user's preference setting, which is considered to be not so nice.
    Hope this can help.

  • How do I turn off highlighted fields as a setting within a specific document?

    I need to turn off highlighted fields on a specific document, regardless of the users' 'highlight fields' setting. The fields are being filled out with information obtained from an input page on my website (not the pdf itself). After a user hits submit, this pdf pops up, but the fields are: a) highlighted b) changeable. Bonus points if you can tell me how to make the fields so they cannot be changed. Using the 'security' feature and locking with a password does not work if I choose to make the fields uneditable because I don't believe the site can enter the info onto the pdf. Thanks very much.

    Thanks. Read-only might work. Just wondering if changing the fields over to Read-only would preclude my website from being allowed to enter the information which the user has inputted on the website?
