How do I cause a form field to raise its blur event?

I have a web form that displays an editable pdf document.  When a user clicks a button the form will get validated.  If one of the fields being validated has the focus its value will not get updated when I need to do the validation.  For example, if I am validating the First Name field and I type text in it and then click on a button (from the web) to cause validation, the document says the field is invalid because there is no data.  If I hit tab on the field to focus a new field the validation works fine.  How can I cause the field to get updated?  I have tried to create an empty form field and focus to that first but that does not work.

Nope, I have a button on the website that the user clicks to send a validation request.

  • I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable.  how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

    i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
    as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

    Hi kstine,
    I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
    What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described  here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files

  • In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, how do I validate a form field so that it's numerical value is less than or

    I have one numerical field named "B," and I need to validate it so that it is less than or equal to the value of another field named "A." I can't figure out how to do that!

    OK, so the custom calculate script for field B could be something like:
    (function () {
        // Get field values as strings
        var sA = getField("A").valueAsString;
        var sC = getField("C").valueAsString;
        var sD = getField("D").valueAsString;
        // Only perform the calculation if all fields are filled
        if (sA && sC && sD) {
            var sum = +sC + sD;
            event.value = sum;
            // Alert the user if the sum is more than A
            if (sum > +sA) {
                app.alert("Error message goes here");
        } else {
            // Blank this field if all fields are not filled in
            event.value = "";
    Instead of (or in addition to) an app.alert popup, you could place this message in a read-only form field, and clear it if there is no error condition.

  • How do I create a form field?

  • How do I lock some form fields, but not all?

    How do I create a form with interactive form fields where certain fields can be locked after being filled in, and others remain unlocked so the customer can interact with it?
    My workflow looks like this:
    I created a PDF with open form fields for my client to distribute to their salesmen.
    Salesmen receive a call, fill in the information gathered. (name, address, services, price quotes, etc)
    Salesmen email the pdf form to the customer. All fields that they filled in now need to be non-editable, EXCEPT an "I agree" checkbox and a signature line.
    Help is greatly appreciated!
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    Before I go too deep into a suggestion, I need to know if you are using electronic digital signatures for signing the document? Or, are you expecting the customer to print the document, sign it with a pen and fax it back? The reason I ask is you could use digital signatures to lock specific parts of the document, but if you're not using them I won't bore you with the details.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • How do I create a Form Field Template?

    Does this not exist in the new version of Document Cloud? I would like to be able to add form field layers for signing an Invoice where the account information is going to be different each time I use the form - so the standard template will not work.
    Thanks!

    First of all, it's still possible to add library documents for pro agreement. This discussion centers on creating and use  re-usable form layers.
    So instead of having a document plus fields, this feature let;s you create a template of just the fields, which can be stamped on uploaded document.
    The help article from earlier, only discusses the second part  on how to stamp these layers on an agreement.
    It doesn't explain how to create field layers. Creating form layers is done by going to the dashboard>add Template to library.
    In an account that support it, it's here you get the option to create a reusable form layer.
    now as far as I'm aware this field layer feature only ever has  been a feature in multi user accounts. (So old echosign team accounts and higher) In the Document cloud that would be Document Cloud Enterprise premium.
    I even checked with an old pro account which hasn't been updated to the Document Cloud, and that doesn't this feature either.
    if you did indeed used to have reusable form layers as an option, were you using an Echosign pro, or a different type of account?
    However I'll check with our Product management to see if perhaps this feature can be made part of the Pro account.

  • How To Make A Tabular Form Field Conditionally Readonly

    Hello.
    I am using Apex 4.0.1. I've created a tabular form on the EMP table and have made the ENAME column a select list that is being sourced from a simple SELECT query like:
    select distince ename d, ename r from emp order by 1
    When a user selects "KING" as the value, I would like this ENAME field on this specific row in the tabular form to become readonly. If some other value is chosen from the ENAME drop down, then this ENAME field should remain "changeable".
    If the user clicks the "Add New Row" button on the form, a new row should be added to the bottom of the form with this ENAME field as "changeable". Only if the user selects the "KING" value from this ENAME drop down should this filed become readonly.
    Does anyone know how to go about doing this kind of conditional readonly on a tabular form field?
    Thank you for any help.

  • How to Validate a Portal Form field from the database

    I created a Portal Form based on a procedure, which requires three parameters. One of the parameters is Item Number. I need to check if the Item Number exists in database. I am trying to use pl/sql button event handler, where I try to use the select count(*) statement to verify. However, I don't know how to reference the form field in the where clause. Please advise. Or is it possible to achieve this by creating a javascript? If you go to 'Shared Component' provider and click on javascript, you will see some system validation scripts, which you can call in the form level validation. My doubts with javascipt is how I can talk to database in the script? Any input is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You cannot access the DB from the script. If you want to access the values of a field you should use session variables. Here is a sample to access the values of a form field.
    declare
    ticket_no varchar2(20);
    flight_no varchar2(20);
    blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
    begin
    ticket_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
    flight_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
    p_block_name => blk,
    p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
    end;
    Thanks,

  • How do I create a form field ONLY template in Acrobat 9 Pro that will let the user enter and print only the form field data on a pre-printed form?

    This template will be used to type in information that will then be printed on an agency's official, barcoded form loaded in a printer (instead of blank paper.)  Only the user-entered info should print on the pre-printed form.  Users will use Adobe Reader to complete their templates; they do not have Acrobat.  Thank you!

    Use the template as non-printable background and add the form fields.

  • How to embed font in Form Field

    Hi All,
    I have created Form with few fields,
    I have used Chinesh licience font in form field and content; and i embeded the font in the pdf.
    But, the font which i embeded is not appearing in the fields, and it's taking default "arial" instead of embeded(chinesh) font when i distribute the form to public users.
    Those public has different OS windows/mac and different acrobat version, when i check Document Properties/Fonts/ the font are embeding with pdf
    I know, If font not existing in local system, it would go to Arial, but i embeded the licienced font.
    Why embeded font not supporting particularly in FormField?
    I'm using Acrobat X Pro,
    Please help to sove this issue.
    Thanks in adv.
    Cheers,
    Saran

    Normally when you choose a non-base-14 font for a field, the entire font will get embedded so it can be used with the fields. This is separate from any font embedding for regular text content in the PDF. But in the case of asian fonts, I don't think Acrobat will embed asian fonts for use with fields since they can be quite large.
    Adobe distributes the Asian and Extended Language Font Pack so that users can fill forms, comment, etc. with the asian fonts it includes: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5508
    Here's a bit more info: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS08EC9A35-484E-4ceb-B92A-9FADBC4CB267.w.h tml

  • How to automatically update InfoPath Form fields(Design) when a new Column is created in SharePoint list?

    Hi All , 
    We have a scenario to automatically update the Infopath form(List Form) fields(Field Name and Control) when ever a new Column is created in the SharePoint list. Is it possible to do this? any options or suggestions?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nandini

    Hi Nandini,
    I am not very sure will this be going to help you. Ideally, it's not so easy to communicate with infopath using object model. But still you can give it a try using below link :
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/sharepoint/en-US/00125fdc-2115-47ea-8e8b-1ca9e5942f83/update-infopath-form-field-in-event-receiver
    I think the above solution is trying to update the field. Addition to that you can try creating a field and control.
    Let me know if it helps  !!
    Thanks

  • How do I make a form field validate that it is the sum of two other fields?

    Hi there,
    I am creating a form, and I would like one of the fields to validate by making sure that this field is the sum of two other fields in the form.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this?  I know I'll need to run a custom validation script, but I'm not sure where to begin - I've never done one for validation before.
    Thanks for any help!

    OK, here's a sample script that I hope will clearly demonstrate the general approach. It is intended to be the custom Validate script of the field that the user enters that value that is supposed to be equal to the sum of the two others.
    // Custom Validate script
    (function () {
        // Get the value that the user entered
        var sVal = event.value;
        // If it is blank, do nothing else
        if (!sVal) {
            return;
        // Convert string to a number
        nVal = +sVal;
        // Get the values of the fields, as numbers
        var v1 = +getField("text1").value;
        var v2 = +getField("text2").value;
        // Add them together, rounding to two decimal places, converting to number
        var sum = +util.printf("%.2f", v1 + v2);
        // Compare entered value to the sum of the other two fields
        // Alter the user if they do not match
        if (nVal !== sum) {
            app.alert("The value you entered does not equal the sum of text1 and text2. Please correct.", 3);
            // If you want the entered value rejected, include the following
            event.rc = false;
    Replace "text1" and "text2" with the actual field names.
