How can I create a submit button that only saves?

Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place.  I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions.  I don't want to lose that part.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

Would something like this work for you?
var OKToSave = true;
if (tfSomething.isNull) {
          tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
          OKToSave = false;
else tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (!OKToSave) app.alert("Please fill in all required fields");
else app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

  • Can Designer create a submit button that works in Acrobat Reader

    Just got Adobe Professional 7.0 for Windows XP. Was able to design a form in Professional that works in Acrobat Reader (the majority of my users do not have the full product). To do this I set the email button to export the data in a .fdf format. I received the full form as an attachment in my email.
    I then brought up the form in Designer 7.0 to use its expanded design capability. The button choices for the email submit button did not allow me to select a format and the saved file would not work in Adobe Reader. I then changed the button to a plain button using the submit control type. I found several submit format choices (XML, PDF, etc.). I saved the file in a variety of the choices but could not get Adobe Reader to send the format versions. FDF was not a choice. XML works but I would rather see the full form directly as an email attachment instead of taking the extra step of importing the XML data into the form
    Anybody have a work around?

    Andrej -
    Can you be more specific about what is needed and how to do it? I just downloaded the trial version of Designer and Document Server 6. I've created the form with a submit button but it ain't working.
    I want the "Submit by email" button to do just that - send the viewable .pdf (not just the data).
    To take a step back - I can't even get the darn button to send anything. I have the info entered correctly in Designer but when the buttons clicked, an error msg. reads: "An error occured while sending mail". That tells me a whole lot of nothing. Is it because it's the trial version, or is there something else going on?
    Anyway can you explain how to use Reader Extension Server in conjunction with Designer?
    Thanks -

  • How can I creat a control button that will allow the vi to run?

    Instead of pressing the run button, I want to creat my own run button that will allow my vi to run.
    Any idea?
    Thank you

    First you need to set the VI to Run When Opened (VI Properties>Execution). Then you create a front panel Boolean. On the diagram what you need to do is have some sort of idle state where nothing is done until the Boolean is pressed. It could be a separate while loop that doesn't exit until the Boolean is pressed, an Event Structure, or as part of a state machine. Look at the shippings examples Queued Message Handler, New Event Handler, Using Buttons for Options to name just a few.

  • How can I create a smart folder that only searches one event?

    Is it possible to create a smart album but have it not search my entire library, but only a certain event?
    I have created a smart album to find unnamed faces, but I have many old pictures in my library with strangers in them so the smart album ends up quite large. If I could apply the rules of the smart album to only one event at a time I could find the photos i need with no faces recognized in them easier right after I import them.
    Or conversely, is there a fast way to delete all the unnamed faces boxes for all my pictures with strangers in them- there must be a faster way than going through and clicking the 'X' on each individual face.
    Thanks!

    Make the criteria: Event Contains XXXXXXX and Faces is unnamed.  That will search only that Event.

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • How can i disable a submit button and execute submit_action method on click

    Good Day,
    On my page I have a submit button that execute the submit_action method of the page backing bean that submit data captured on the page into a database and activate another class that send mail at the same time on a click of the submit button,the mail process takes a while before returning back to the page.I was able to disable the submit button to prevent the user from keep click while the process is running but the issue is on clicking the submit button it only disable the submit button without executing the submit_action method of the page backing bean.How can i disable the submit button and execute submit_method of the backing bean at the same time.
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried this out on one of my pages to see if it works.
    First, I added the following JavaScript to my submit button's onClick event:
    this.disabled=true; return true;When I clicked the submit button, it was disabled but the form was not submitted.
    I deleted the JavaScript from the onClick event and added the following JavaScript to the form's onSubmit event:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); button.disabled=true; return true;When I click the submit button, it was disabled and the form was submitted but the button's action method was not called.
    The next thing I tried was to change the onSubmit event code:
    var button = document.getElementById("form1:submitButton"); setTimeout("button.disabled=true", 500); return true;This seemed to work. The difference was that I added a 1/2 second delay before disabling the button.
    See if that works for you. If not then I'm fresh out of ideas.

  • I am trying to set up my newly purchased Apple TV but when I enter my network password while setting up, I am not able to enter the Submit button, any idea how to hit the visible submit button that is visible on screen but not responding?

    You need to use the right arrow on the remote to go all the way to the right. The submit button will be highlighted and you can then press select on the remote to proceed.

  • How can i put a submit button in a survey and it send to my email

    how can i put a submit button in a survey and it send to my email?

    Hi williamm89908146,
    You need to open the form in which you want to put the submit button,
    then you have to choose 'Add new field' under Tasks pane on the right Hand side of the window.
    Choose 'Ok' Button
    Place the button at desired Location
    Change the field name to 'Submit'
    Click on 'All Properties' (Button Properties window Will open up)
    Click on Actions Tab and then on 'Select Action:'
    Choose 'Open a web Link' from the Drop Down Menu and then Click 'Add'
    another window will appear in which you have to type this:    mailto:[your email address], eg: mailto:[email protected] later click close
    Click Close Form editing on the right hand side of the window
    Clicking on the Button would open up your default email client and your address would appear in 'To' field.
    Please feel free if you face any challenges in following through these steps.

  • How can I create a master PDX that pulls from multiple other PDXs?

    I process aviation maintenance manuals, with the individual manuals having their own PDX. How can I create a master PDX that pulls from the individual PDXs?
    I have access to myriad versions of Windows and Acrobat so there's that...

    I’ve got 100s of manuals each with their own PDX. I’ve been asked to create a master PDX that in effect combines all of the individual PDXs into a single (cross-manufacturer, cross-fleet, cross-manual-type) searchable PDX that can be easily updated.

  • How can we create such navigation buttons using Flash CS4?

    Hi,
    How can we create such navigation buttons using Flash CS4 is in the following website? Please help me with any such tutorial to make my custom navigation bar/buttons.
    http://city.reallusion.com/join.html
    Thanks.

    While the Note 4 is a reasonably large device it still falls into the phone layout bucket. We need this layout to function on very small screens some as low as 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. These sorts of devices don't have the space for a full toolbar.

  • How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.

  • How can i create a filechooser button inside the plugin window?

    Hi
    i'd like to create a filechooser button to load/save but inside the plugin window. Is it possible ? if yes how can i do that ?
    and i need the algorithm to be Mac/Windows compatible if possible
    thanks a lot
    *best regards*
    Jeff

    If by the "plugin window" you mean the dialog an automation or a filter plugin from the SDK sample code opens for you, you have to write platform-specific code using either Cocoa on Mac or regular WinAPI on Windows (e.g. by hooking GetOpenFileName()/GetSaveFileName() functions to a button you will add to the resource file or create dynamically). Take a look at any plugin that has a GUI (e.g. the Dissolve plugin) and you'll see that the GUI code is entirely platform-specific as there is no platform-independed GUI framework bundled with Photoshop anymore.
    Another option is to use some third-party cross-platform library such as Qt, but if you just need a couple of buttons and file selection dialogs it's probably not worth the trouble,.

  • How can I get one Submit button to perform three actions?

    I have a 2-page form. One page is completed by an HR person, entering fields that describe a new role, new pay, new hours or a new location for an existing employee. The second page automatically repeats the name, location and job role fields, but also completes the IT requirements linked to the job role (such as whether or not the role needs access to a particular piece of software or not).
    The users of the form will have varying degress of IT capability. I wan to enable them to press a single Submit button that does three things: first, print the first page of a two-page form AND e-mail the same page to one e-mail address. Second: e-mail the second page only to a DIFFERENT e-mail address.
    I am not a Javascript expert - or even a beginner. Can anyone help? I need to get this ready for Tuesday! Thanks in advance

    You will need two buttons on your form to be able to do this.
    One is the actual submit button (this will interact with th email system and do the submit). Note that you cannot write programs on a submit button. You will need to make this button invisible to the user. The second button will be a regular button which you can write programs on. Use teh click event of that button. This one will have logic to accomplish the things that you want ...here is some pseudo code to do this:
    use print command and one of the parms indicates which pages to print.
    Set up the submit button to hold the email address of the person recieving it.
    Programmatically click the hidden submit button.
    Note that the user will recieve a dialog from the mail client to OK before teh form will be sent.
    Set up the submit button to change the email address
    Programmatically click the submit button again
    User will recieve another dialog to OK the email submission
    Also you cannot email part of the form it will have to be the whole form. You coudl get a little more sophisticated and hide parts of the form but the whole form will be sent with the emails. This will need more programming on your part.

  • Create Email/Submit button that asks the user what email address to submit to

    Is it possible to have an Email/Submit button that will ask for the users to imput the email address in which to submit to?

    My own opinion is that you are going to tick off more people than you realize. I think you can handle this in one of a few better ways:
    1) Institute an interface/web service where the HR system can send you people that are terminated. If the person has sensitive company data or anything on your site it would be in their best interest to remove their access.
    2) Force password resets every x days. To reset a password, your page can send the link to their email. That way they have to establish they still work there to reset it.
    3) Along the lines of #2, just make them verify their account every x days. If they don't do it within a week timespan, lock their account until they can prove they work there.
    I mean unless you're dealing with top secret information, if someone gets a few extra days of your service its not a big deal. You have to balance the user experience with the reality that someone may get your service for free for a bit.
    I can still get into My Oracle Support with my old email address. I obviously would not dare to put in a ticket, but I can view bug notes, knowledge base..etc. So it happens.
