How do I create / print a unique form ID?

I have created a simple work order. I have the need of assigning the work order an ID of some kind. I'm not really concerned about the ID topology. The ID should not be incremented for page copies. So let's say I had a hypothetical ID of 9000 and I printed 5 copies. All 5 copies should have the same ID of 9000. This ID should be present and ready to go upon the user opening the FORM. It should be calculated value with no interaction required (or able) from the users perspective, just open the work order and it's assigned this hypothetical ID and is ready to go.
I have looked around but can not fine a canonical answer on how this could be accomplished. Do any members of the community have and ideas?

There is a FormCalc function for generating a unique identifier but it creates a pretty long and cumbersome string. The syntax is Uuid(0|1). Uuid(0) creates a string with no dashes and Uuid(1) adds dashes.
The following is a script I've used quite a bit, it creates a number based on the date and time. The result is a ten-digit number (number of seconds since the epoch).
You can take the null check out if you don't need it - it's there so that if the form is saved and re-opened the number stays the same. The script is on the Initialize event of a text field.
if (this.rawValue == null)
var d = new Date();
this.rawValue = Math.floor(d / 1000);

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes, loose what i've done and have ot restart.
I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

How do I create an interactive pdf form my clients can actually use?

In the new CS6 Indesign (which is very easy to use to make forms) I've gone through all the steps to make a beautiful form whose buttons, text fields, and hyperlinks all work (great!) but now I've stumbled across one VITAL problem: the submit form button does not work!
I’ve set it up as I’ve seen it done on videos, as a “submit form” type, with the address “mailto: emailaddress.”
Once I exported the file to a pdf interactive form, my "Print form" button works well, and I though I'd fixed the problem when I downloaded adobe reader to read my form, however, no matter what type of computer I use with it, when I hit the "submit form" button, a message saying something to the effect of “you must open in your browser” pops up.
When dragged the pdf document into my browser like the message suggested, not only did the “submit form” button still not work, but now I cannot interact with any of the buttons or fields!
My goal here is simple: make an interactive form my clients can access online (whether as a downloadable pdf or directly on my website) that they can fill out and submit to us directly to our email. As many of our clients are older, I’d like to make it as easy as possible for them to use our system, and be able to just hit the “submit form” button instead of having to go through the trouble of attaching the finished pdf they filled out to an email and submitting to us.
All the videos I’ve come across so far talk about how to MAKE these forms, but not how to set them up to be used realistically for a business. Any help I can have would be appreciated, I don’t mind so much how this gets done, as long as it is easy for my clients to access the form and fill it out easily and quickly.
Thank you in advance,
~Kara

How do I create an online PDF form that can be filled out by recipient?

I have Create PDF Online and am wondering how I go about creating a document that can be filled out by a recipient. This would be regarding a questionaire type form where I would ask questions and the recipient fills in the answers. I know I have received these in the past from other people, but do not know how to do this myself. I don't know if this is even possible with CREATE PDF ONLINE or if I need to purchase a special Adobe software package in order to do this.
Thank you in advance for any information that any of you can give me.

i'm afraid i can't help you. i've never tried to create a document that can
be filled out. hopefully, someone else can help you.

How can I create & print a whole sheet of the same label?

For example, a full page of return address labels, or "Thank You" on every label? Someone posted a similar question in '07 but there was no solution posted at that time. Does anyone know how to do this in Mail and Address? or even in Pages? Thanks.

Thank you for your input. I am trying to stay attentive to the things that Mac can do to better, or more so, than the PC. It hard to stay focused on that when the basics (things that I do regularly) seem to be just not even offered...like today, I wanted to get a "receipt" with an email I sent out from Mail and Address Book. However, as you probably know, it isn't a supported function. Again I noticed in the discussions that many folks are disappointed and questioning why something that has been around for so long in other mail software is not a part of Mac's. As far as using Word, I see your point, but I did pay for iWorks because the Apple Store guy told me I can do all the same things and even more than Word. I would have just paid for Word had I known, but now I'm not paying for both. I found avery.com and will use their free online label maker for now till I figure out another way to do it without having to incur another fee. So far, iWorks and Mail and Address not been impressive to me. Hopefully I will keep uncovering aspects of them that make them shine and impress me, and make life easier when on the computer. Thanks. Peace.

How do you create a bulletin

How
do you create a bulletin in form design
like this

Bryan;
On CS-MARS, you can create a user with one of the following roles:
•Admin—has full use of the MARS.
•Notification Only—for a non-user of the MARS appliance, use this to send alerts to people who are not administrators, security analysts, or operators.
•Operator—has read-only privileges.
•Security Analyst—has full use of the MARS, except read-only access to the Admin tab.
You should be able to make use of the Operator role.

How to create a Printer List in Forms 4.5

How can I create a Printer list on Forms 4.5 to show all
available printers?
Thanks.
null

I fear there is no direct solution.
May be this is a work-around:
1. Apply the older built-in: Display_item. You can't disable the item with display_item, but you can change the visual attribute and show the user that this item should not be checked.
2. To be shure that the user doesn't ignore this "disable", you need a trigger, which resets the item to the proper value after an illegal change.

Creating Forms: How to use Printing to Submit Forms?

Hello,
I am using Acrobat 9 and I am new to creating forms. I would like to create a form for users to fill out. Because the form will contain some sensitive information, I would like the user to print out the form and then mail it or fax it to us. I want to make sure that all of the forms sent to us have every field filled out.
So my question is, how do I create a form such that the user can print it if and ONLY if they have filled out all required fields.
Thanks for your help,
Dmitriy

There is no way to stop the printing. There is a "Will Print" action that will allow one to modify fields and perform other actions except cancel a save or print. So you can add the necessary script to check that the required fields are completed and if not issue a waring and display a hidden field that indicates the incomplete status. You can then use the "Did Print" action to once again hid the field.
You should be able to find post using search.

I created and distributed my form. How do I see and print the returned form?

I need to know how I can print the returned form?
Thanks

Yes - in both the "Basic" and "Plus" level account you will be able to "Download Response as PDF Form" which downloads a PDF that looks like the original form filled out. There are a few caveats to that, the layout may change in the PDF to accommodate fields where the text input was larger than the field, the field will "grow" to display all of the text so it can be printed correctly. Also, attachments would not be included in the downloaded PDF response.
Have a look at this PDF since it goes over designing for PDF, and the information on "Page Breaks" in "Page View" will apply to any PDF saved from the form (not only for distribution, but also the Response PDF), you will want to use that info to add Page Breaks in Page View for your downloaded PDFs: Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
