Highlighting required fields when printing?

Is there a way to make it so that required fields are highlighted when the PDF is printed?

Hi,
Script migth be something like this. Put it on Change event of the check box
if (this.rawValue == 1) { Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();
else
{ Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,0,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();

Need help in LiveCycle Forms - Highlighting required fields when the check box is checked / Un-highlighting the fields if I un-check the check box...

Hello All!
I am relatively new to creating forms within LiveCycle but I have learned quickly so bare with me on my question.
I have figured out how to highlight a field when a check box is clicked on, however, I cannot get it to remove the highlight when the check box is unchecked?
This is what I used for the highlight:
Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
Can anyone provide any insight or suggestions on how I might fix this script issue?
Thanks in advance!

Highlight required fields/Clear fillColor upon data entry

So here's what I'm trying to do in LifeCycle Designer 7. I have a dynamic form that I highlight the required fields by setting their fillColor to a blue upon form initialization. I then want the fields to go to transparent after data has been entered into them. But then if they delete that data, I want the color to return so they know they still need to put data in that field.
I've gotten some help from these forums, but I just can't seem to get it to where it needs to be. I can go between blue and white (w/ a visible border that I don't want), but I cannot get the fields to go completely transparent. If there was a way to automatically check the "Highlight Fields" and/or "Highlight Required Fields" boxes upon opening the pdf, I wouldn't have to do this at all.
So here is my code for the exit event of the fields:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "")
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "hidden";
this.fillColor = "153,255,255";
else
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "visible";
this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
If I take out the fill in the else statement, it always stays blue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem, cannot get the fill color back to transparent.
Could you find a solution?

Chris

Highlight required fields via script...

Does anyone know how to highlight all of the required fields via script?
Acrobat displays a checkbox for highlighting required fields, but it
is unchecked by default and the user has to click it each time they open
the document. I have yet to see a way to set it as a preference in
Acrobat or Reader and I don't see any way to enable this via an
initialize script either.
Any ideas?

Yolanda,
This highlights ALL fields. I want to highlight only the required
fields.

Require a field when printing

Is there a way in which you can require input when you are simply printing the form?

I'll have to be absolutely specific then (unlike the original request).
Pages does not do this. No matter what version you are talking about.
Excel has a hide data format, but I don't think it is triggered by printing. it just is hidden on screen, unless you select it.
I imagine some databases such as FileMaker may also have this, but Pages is not a database. It is a Word Processor with DTP features.
This is where a relatively simple, easy to use application can rapidly spiral into a tangle of Rube Goldberg feature requests.
Some users want a single buttion to push for everything and those single buttons have to be in clickable sight along with the other hundred buttons for obscure tasks that can be much more easily be handled individually, if really and only absolutely necessary.
The average person can drive a car competently because the dash doesn't look like a jumbo jet console.

Require Fields Before Printing

I've been looking through the documentation of Adobe Live Cycle Designer and cannot find my answer. I have two fields, which I would like to be required. Upon a user pressing the print button, if these fields are empty, require it before the form will print.
I have looked everywhere and can't find my answer. I'm assuming the form will still print if the fields are blank if the user were to use the File>Print option through their specified browser?
Any help would be appreciated.

i found a super cool secret code to validate the whole form in one line of code!
F.execValidate();
so my print button is a normal button (not a print button)
with this code for onclick:
if(F.execValidate())
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages - 1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
easy as that!
IMPORTANT:
- unfortunatly it does not check if required fields are empty
- it only checks the "validation pattern" under Object > Value
- the "Error" box beside "validation pattern message" MUST be checked (if it is not checked, your validation errors will still popup, but the function will return true when it should be false - and therefore the print box will popup)

R12 OM Copy does not navigate to required field when OK button is clicked

We are upgrading from 11.5.10 to 12.1.3.
When a user is copying a Sales Order to a Return in 11i and the user leaves the return reason blank, the form will navigate to the return reason and raise ORA-40202 Field must be Entered.
In R12, the navigation to the required field does not happen. The ORA-420202 is still raised, but the user must click through the tabs to find the return reason.
I have examined OEORDCPY.pll and found the procedure OE_ORDER_COPY_WINDOW.action_ok, which is called when the user clicks on the OK button.
The code below is from R12. Only the section for bug 4879216 is new since 11i. It is clear that the intent is for the form to navigate to the line type or return reason when they are missing (null, required, and enabled).
I have attempted to use forms personalization to navigate to the return reason, when it is missing. However, I could not get the desired result using when-new-item-instance or when-button-pressed as the trigger. Anyone have any suggesstions to correct this change in behaviour?
procedure action_ok IS
QUERY_HEADER_ID NUMBER;
BEGIN
/* Added for bug 4879216 */
validate(ITEM_SCOPE);
IF NOT FORM_SUCCESS THEN
raise form_trigger_failure;
END IF;
/* End of bug 4879216 */
OE_Navigate.g_exec_post_forms_commit:='N';
IF get_item_property('COPY.LINE_TYPE',REQUIRED) = 'TRUE' AND
get_item_property('COPY.LINE_TYPE',ENABLED) = 'TRUE' AND
     NAME_IN('COPY.LINE_TYPE') IS NULL THEN
--fnd_message.debug('go line type');
go_item('copy.line_type');
ELSIF get_item_property('COPY.RETURN_REASON',REQUIRED) = 'TRUE' AND
get_item_property('COPY.RETURN_REASON',ENABLED) = 'TRUE' AND
     NAME_IN('COPY.RETURN_REASON') IS NULL THEN
--fnd_message.debug('go return reason');
     go_item('copy.return_reason');
ELSE
--fnd_message.debug('copy');
OE_ORDER_COPY_MAIN.copy_main(QUERY_HEADER_ID);
END IF;
/* OE_ORDER_COPY_GLOBALS.G_HEADER_ID_TO_QUERY := QUERY_HEADER_ID;
hide_window('COPY');
go_block(OE_ORDER_COPY_GLOBALS.G_SOURCE_BLOCK_NAME);
app_special.enable('MODAL',PROPERTY_ON);
app_special.enable('file.save',PROPERTY_ON);
app_special.enable('file.accept',PROPERTY_ON);
END action_ok;

We have obtained a one-off patch from Oracle to address the issue. Is the patch available for public access? If yes, it would be great if you could share the patch number with us.
Thanks,

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

How can I hide fields when printing?

On a form I have created for our field staff, we have many conditions of what options will show based on different selections on the form. When printing their responses, the entire form prints, even with items that have nothing to do with the selection as they were hidden from the person filling out the form. How do I hide/ suppress these blank fields?

Hi,
Thanks for asking. FormsCentral currently only support hide fields in html form, not pdf form. So printing from a pdf form would show all fields.

Need to show leading zeros in the number field when printed from RDF

We have a requirement to show leading zeros in the rdf output.
We cannot use a format mask to achieve the same as the length of the field is not fixed.
for ex if we have 0.68 then the same is printed in RDF as .68
we cannot use a format mask as the length of the field is not fixed.
we need to
Kindly suggest if any solution exists for the same.

the numbers after the decima can be anything..
it can range between 2 to 10 or more...
as told by you if we put the format as to_char(.68,'90.99') it shall give 0.68 but what for numbers like0.678,0.4567,0.765433 it will display only 2 digits after the decimal...
The requirement is to dispaly the number as it is ,only the zeroes before the decimal should stay intact..
we are not able to achieve this in rdf output..
if it is
0.678 then 0.678 shld be dispalyed
0.4567 then 0.4567
0.765433 then 0.765433
one format mask shld wrk for all the above..
we would not be changing the format mask for each number....

Unable to save a form with missing required fields

I have a form, with required fields, as part of the new hire process. I would like to make sure the user fills in the required fields before closing/saving the form.
I have a custom script that highlights the missing required fields when the complete/validate button is clicked.
This, however, doesn't stop the user from saving the form. As a result, we are getting incomplete forms returned.
Is there a way to stop the user from saving the form until the required fields are filled ?
Thanks in advance.
Aditya

I have a "validate" button that sets a flag (for workflow). This button will perform the check and highlight the missing fields.
Once the user completes the form, he/she saves and emails the form. The reason for not having the email button is because not all users will have outlook and wouldn't want to go through the wizard.
I understand your point but I need to know if there is some solid way of not allowing the users to return the form without completing the form.
If I include an email button, the users can still save, by using the toolbar menu, and email the incomplete document.
As we are planning to implement Digital Signatures, would it be possible to have the check in the presign event. Will this prevent the document fron being signed until the required fields are filled ?
Thanks

Partial trigger and required field

We developed an ADF JSF application which some of field has partial trigger .
Then we add some required field.
when runtime when we change any partial trigger target item all field validated and "required field missing message" occurs.
How can we prevent this behaviour ?
why all field controlled against partial triggered items?
is it normal?
How can we solve this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
in JDeveloper 11 the implementation has changed and the issue wont be the same in most of the cases. There also is a notion of subform that allows you to only submit the field of interest - not affecting any other field.

Problem when printing the records of database

Hi all,
Although I can use the PrinterJob class to print the records of certain table in database directly to printer, it is difficult to deal with the different length of fields between different records so that, say, the first field of some records overlap with the second field when printing.
I find any layout/table method in java cannot be used in the PrinterJob class, only Graphics can be used. Does anyone know how to print the database in a good way?
thanks!

Perhaps java.text.MessageFormat is what you're looking for.
Note that in v1.4 there's also the new Java Print Service API (javax.print). (I haven't used it yet).

Inline table throw "make a selection" error in required field upon PPR

Hi,
I have a dropdown in a page and when change, will do a PPR and render the inline ADF table which contains selectOneChoice, inputText components.
Here's code snipplet:
<af:selectOneChoice label="Action" shortDesc="Action" id="soc17"
rendered="#{!viewScope.FaParamConfigBean.paramConfigMode
and pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.flowParamConfigMode}"

immediate="true">
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.name}"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.label}"
id="c4">
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{row.bindings.ParameterUid.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.label}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.ItasFlowParamConfigsFullVO1.hints.ParameterUid.tooltip}"

id="soc99" immediate="true">
<f:selectItems id="si88"
value="#{pageFlowScope.backing_flowFaParamsBean.parameterListDrop}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>
</af:column>
The issue is that after changing the value in "Action" dropdown, the inline table got refreshed accordingly, and ADF throws error "Please make a selection for Parameter Uid" on the required selectOneChoice value in the inline table. How can I prevent ADF having the validation checking of required fields when doing a PPR? I have already set the dropdown and table immediate=true already.
Please advise.
Thanks
