How Do I Highlight Any Form Field

I would like to know how to highlight any element put in a
form, when it is click on
Thanks

Depending on your source, you can do one of two things. If
you are trying to get the yellow highlight that comes default with
FF2 & 3, you can just use CSS:
input:focus {
background-color: #FFFEEE; // this is a light yellow
Another alternative is to use javascript on the elements
onclick event
onclick="highlight(this)";
function highlight(element) {
Spry.Widget.Utils.addClassName(element,
"highlightClassName");
There are other alternatives as well, depending on your exact
needs, but these should get you started at least.

There is no key because that is an important dialog. Why would you want it to go away?

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
Best,

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.
Elie

Validating and highlighting a form fields.

Hi all!
I have a form, with a lot of fields, which must be NOT blank. And they must NOT be highlighted.
So, on the one hand: i have to make these fields required, for don't let users print the form with blank fields. But if I’ll do it with standard settings, the fields will be highlighted with a red color (default settings of the acrobat reader). Yes, these settings can be changed in Acrobat Reader, but as the form will be used by a lot of users - i can't force them all change their settings.
On the other hand: If the form fields are set to be optional, then validation scripts don't work on empty fields.
So, is there any ways to solve this problem?

Well, then not only red borders disapper, but also the blue highlight of fields background, so, users can't see where to type text. And that is bad(
So, the only way i can see - is to turn off highlight (app.runtimeHighlight = false;), and also, chance fields fillColor, like that:
enter: this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
initialize: this.fillColor = "204,215,255";
exit: this.fillColor = "204,215,255";
prePrint: this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
But this way there will be a lot of "monkeyjob" to change color setting of every field...

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 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.

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 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

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 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
