How do I create a save button to hide a dropdown and pass on the dropdown data to a label?

Hi InDesign Scripting Experts!
I'm desparetly looking for some help to get this issue resolved.
Essentially I've a lot of PDF forms that've been designed by using InDesign CS4 and then converted to an interactive PDF via Adobe Lifecycle. The final 2 page PDF form has multiple textfields, a drop down and a save button. The users partially fill-in the form, select their name from the dropdown and then hit the save button prior to sending the PDF form to the client.
The Save button does the following:
- Passes on the data from the drop down to a label
- Hides the drop down and
- finally, hides itself ('Save' button)
I understand InDesign CC has a lot of the Livecycle capability built-it. Hence I'm trying to design the inteactive PDF within InDesign CC. The textfields, dropdown etc. are easily done. The part that I'm stuck on is to get the 'Save' button to perform the above listed tasks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Elizabeth,
Presuming that editing the exisiting BOSTON is not an option, you may:
1) Create a nostroke/nofill rectangle that covers all all word, then give it a white fill;
2) In the Transparency palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked.
That should remove the BOSTON from sight so you can retype it.
You could use a black fill and leave Invert Mask unticked (if the black is black enough).

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!

How do I create a "Save" folder in email?

How do I create a "Save" email folder? I have seen tutorials where you can go into your email and click on edit to create a folder but my iPhone 4S does not give me the edit option. I would like somewhere to save emails without keeping them in my inbox. Thank you.

When you click the email there's a file icon with a arrow pointing down called the move file. I did this with my gmail and I could move it to anywhere like for example personal. Also you can archive by moving a finger from left to right on the email. By doing that it puts it from new to all mail. But that's gmail under mail on the iPhone. I think all mail accounts have the edit at the top of the page

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

Hi Ed
Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that. To explain
further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files. This is very tedious
process when you have alot of files to save. So my question was is there a
way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
prodcution folder I want.
I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
would be nice if I could do everything automatically. Microsoft makes this
capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
do the same thing. Your help with this would be appreicated,
Thanks

How do I create a print button to print a specific range of the document.

How do I create a print button to print a specific range of the document. I've found JavaScript to print a specific page, but a range or even multiple ranges. Form is created in Adobe 9 Pro. Any help would be truly appreciated!

Sure, I'll give it a test. Its just that I have a 128 page form that not all of it needs to be printed.
Currently, I have an index page where I want to set up a print button queues per form, however there are several form scattered throughout the document that make up a specific section, but it does not require printing the entire document. Does that make sense?
I did find this JavaScript during my reseach, but have not be able to get it to work.
var pp = event.target.getPrintParams() ;
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
pp.printRange=[[1, 1], [3, 4]];
event.target.print(pp);

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 do I create a product or item database so I can search fr the product and its files with hte pro

How do I create a product or item database so I can search for the product and its files with the products name or four digit code

Ok so I made some progress on this. I have figured out, that I can add a chained "add to cart" to certain items, then when they click the button for Buy now, it will add both items to the cart. However, this would require me to manually build each product page and generate a custom button for each one with both product IDs in it.
Can anyone offer help on how to put some JS in that would append a second function to the onclick function that BC Generates dynamically?
For the products that require a set up fee, I would assume I would add in to either the product templates or in to the item description some JS that would find the onclick of the buynow button and append a second function to also add to cart the setup fee product. The end result being code that looks like this:
<input type="submit" class="productSubmitInput" onclick="AddToCart(188536,6314368,'',4,'','',true);AddToCart(188536,6314367,'',4,'','',tr ue);return false;" value="Buy Now" name="AddToCart_Submit" />
Except of course, the product ID on the first AddToCart would be the main product with the second one being the one appended.
Does any of that make sense? lol

How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file? I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page. I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image. This is for a very simple question/answer book. The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something. I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified.
Is this possible?

Have yiu tried the PopOver widget? You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.
