You can download the Developer Suite from here:
Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Links to documentation and sample code can be found here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/index.html
Be aware that most of the documentation for Forms 9.04 and 9.0.2 apply to 10.1.2.0.2 in most cases. This may be helpful to know since there are more docs for these older versions.
That said, one of the strengths of the Forms Builder is its Wizards. Without writing any (or at least very little) code you can create a basic application. If you understand the Oracle Database and have a basic knowledge in PL/SQL you should have no problem. Of course a working knowledge of how a web server works is also help since you will need Oracle Application Server to deploy your app if you ever go into production with it.

How to create a form that requires thousands of checkboxes?
Hello forum members,
I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I've been searching the internet/forums for the past few hours and I can't seem to find any information on how to create a form with many checkboxes. I do not want to have to give individual names to thousands of checkboxes. I'm hoping there's an easy solution to my problem. Maybe I don't even need to use checkboxes.
Here it is...
I'm a DJ and wedding season is coming up. For each wedding that I do, I usually give the bride and groom a list of my songs and they choose a bunch of songs that they'd like to have at their reception. In the past, I've just been sending them a webpage word document with the songs and they'd send me their selections in a different document or directly in the reply email. I'd like to make this process easy for them (and myself) by making a pdf document where they can simply place a checkmark beside the songs that they want and then send it back to me. As a bonus (if it's possible) i'd like to be able to export the songs that they selected into a separate document so that I don't have to go through the entire pdf (with thousands and thousands of songs) when they send it back to me.
I would be ever greatful if somebody help me or direct me to a link with some additional information.
Thanks in advance,
MikeGeorge, thank you very much for your quick reply and good advice.

Quick Tip: How to create editable form fields | Acrobat X Tips & Tricks | Adobe TV
A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
http://adobe.ly/wzXkmLI have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

How to create a form based on table using dynamic page?
Hi,
I need to create a form using dynamic page. How do you pass values from the html form to a oracle procedure that will get executed on submission of the form ? I could not find any documents which shows how to do that. Can anyone please help me out with an example ?
thanks,
MainakHi,
Something seems to get added to the form action because of "http". Hence I am removing it.
You need to write a procedure with the values in the as parameters. Say for example you want to insert a record into dept
table then
Dynamic page code
<html>
<body>
<form action="portalschema.insert_dept">
<input type="text" name="p_deptno">
<input type="text" name="p_dname">
<input type="submit" name="p_action" value="save">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Procedure code.
create or replace procedure insert_dept
(p_deptno in number,
p_dname in varchar2,
p_action in varchar2)
is begin
if p_action = 'save' then
insert into scott.dept(deptno,dname) values(p_deptno,p_dname);
commit;
end if;
end;
grant execute on insert_dept to public;
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How to create a form based on table@databaselink
I have created a database link under OracleXe to access an Oracle 9i and it works very well. I can manually access the tables that I like to see. Want to experiment to create a form under HTMLDB based on a table from another database that I have created DataLink to. When I go choose Create Application in HMTLDB and then select Form from page type under table or view I tried to do this tablename@databaselink but it seems it can not find the table this way. Any idea how to do this?
ThanksMike,
As I am trying to test and learn more about htmldb I was trying to get some data from oracle 9i to oracleXe, create some forms, reports and etc. At first I tried to use views and forgot to add the primary key, got the error so I posted the message on the board.
Then I did try out the long way creating tables with package and procedure and some other fun stuff to create an application which by the way it worked very well. Then I created some users and changed some password. When I tried again to run the application I start getting invalid login credentials. After many attempts finally I went home, as I was driving home I thought about something and at home I tried it.
I did some testing and noticed if I create a user under admin say userA+passwordA then login with userA+passwordA, create a table and then create an app base on that table and then run the app, with userA+passwordA I can login and app works perfectly. Then I logged out and as admin logged in, changed the userA password to passwordB. I logged out and logged in with userA+passwordB and then when I tried to run the app I get the invalid login credentials, when I change the passwordB to passwordA the app will works again. This is suppose to be this way!
Again thanks to all -
How to create a Form based on a dynamic table?
Hello,
The Select statement below creates a table based on a string (string is a value of an item):
select * from table (pkg_util.fn_get_table (:P18_VALUE))I need to create a region on a page with a Form based on this table.
I was able to create a Report, but not a Form.
I need to create a Form, which would return updated string to the page item.
How can I solve this please?Hello Gentlemen,
I have created a Tabular Form, based on APEX_ITEM API, as you suggested, here is the code below:
SELECT apex_item.checkbox (30,
CATALOG_ID,
'onclick="highlight_row(this,' || ROWNUM || ')"',
NULL,
'f30_' || LPAD (ROWNUM, 4, '0')
) delete_checkbox,
CATALOG_ID,
apex_item.hidden (31, CATALOG_ID)
|| apex_item.text (32,
LANG,
80,
100,
'style="width:100px"',
'f32_' || LPAD (ROWNUM, 4, '0')
|| apex_item.hidden (33, wwv_flow_item.md5 (LANG, DESCRIPTION)) LANG,
apex_item.text (34,
DESCRIPTION,
80,
100,
'style="width:255px"',
'f34_' || LPAD (ROWNUM, 4, '0')
) DESCRIPTION
FROM V_SYSTEM_CATALOGS_PR
UNION ALL
SELECT apex_item.checkbox
(30,
TO_NUMBER(9900 + LEVEL),
'onclick="highlight_row(this,' || ROWNUM || ')"',
NULL,
'f30_' || TO_NUMBER (9900 + LEVEL)
) delete_checkbox,
NULL,
apex_item.hidden (31, NULL)
|| apex_item.text (32,
NULL,
80,
100,
'style="width:100px"',
'f32_' || TO_NUMBER (9900 + LEVEL)
|| apex_item.hidden (33, NULL) LANG,
apex_item.text
(34,
NULL,
80,
100,
'style="width:255px" ' ,
'f34_'
|| TO_NUMBER (9900 + LEVEL)
) DESCRIPTION
FROM DUAL
WHERE :P180_TEMP = 'ADD_ROWS1'
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 1however, the update process doe not work on that form:
DECLARE
lc_string VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*30*.COUNT
LOOP
lc_string := lc_string|| '[' ||APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*32*(i) || '|' || APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*34*(i) || ']';
END LOOP;
--Database processing using the concatenated string here
END;Can you please see what's wrong with the code?
Also, I tried to set a temp. item with the value, to see if the process returns something, like that:
DECLARE
lc_string VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*30*.COUNT
LOOP
lc_string := lc_string|| '[' ||APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*32*(i) || '|' || APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*34*(i) || ']';
END LOOP;
:p18_temp := lc_string;
END;and it did not work.
Also, it is the second Tabular Form on this page. The first one is created using wizard, and it works perfect, with the same update process:
DECLARE
lc_string VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*01*.COUNT
LOOP
lc_string := lc_string|| '[' ||APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*03*(i) || '|' || APEX_APPLICATION.G_f*04*(i) || ']';
END LOOP;
--Database processing using the concatenated string here
END;Also, both forms are opening in a modal pop-up dialog window.
I use a Dialog Region plug-in for that.
May be this is causing a problem?
But still, the first form works fine!? -
How to create a form value bean.
Hi to all,
In my page I have one lov. It gives Address and Addressid. I want to show the address details (only ) to User. I dnt want to show the addressid. But I passed the addressid to database.
Set the Addressid in form value and set the Address in msgtextbean. Pass the Addressid to database. Is it possible?
I want to know how to create formvalue bean dynamically. Anyone knows plz let me know..
Thanks in Advance
Regards
SenthurHi Senthur,
Why you want to create it dynamically? You can create it at design time itself.
For your requirement create on formvalue item, create another LOV mapping that provide and set there item name from LOV region and return item.

How to create a form for identifying people in a photo?
I have a group photo of about 60 people that I have imported into Acrobat Pro XI. I would like to be able to send this photo pdf to others to get help identifying all of the people in the photo. None of the recipients is likely to know all of the people, but it's likely that the contributions of all will end up identifying all of the people in the photo.
It seems like I ought to be able to create a form based on that photo pdf that includes a blank next to each person and that I can email to others to fill in as many of the blanks as they each can and return the form to me.
However, I've never created a form before, so I'm not sure how to get started and go about creating it, including which field type to use, how to collect the data when the completed forms come back, etc.
Has anyone done this sort of thing before?
ThanksIt might be better for people to use the various commenting tools that are available. If you Reader-enable the document, they will be able to use the various markup tools to add text and otherwise annotate, which is more flexible than form fields. For example:
But you may have to include some instructions. -
How to create fillable forms for users of reader IX or X in acrobat pro XI?
I created fillable forms in Acrobat Pro XI. How can i make them fillable also for users with Reader IX or X? As Adobe Reader für Vista or Linux is only available in version IX or X, it is not possible for these users to fill in the forms?
Open PDF Form in Acrobat XI then choose File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (inclues form fill-in & save)...
Then, save the form with new name and it's gonna work.

How to create new form fields in several columns (spreadsheet) and have them named consecutively?
Hopefully someone can help. I created a new form from an Excel spreadsheet, but the form field recognition didn't "take" well and very little of the spreadsheet translated into form fields. I need to create new fields (31) for each column (about 10) and I want the fields in each column to have a keyword from the parent column and the fields numbered consecutively. I'm really hoping I don't have to do this manually!
Next, is there a way to total the values in a column of fields (the same as the SUM function in Excel?) or does the form user have to dig out a calculator and add everything?
Can I create an email (submit) button and direct how (ie email) and by what method the form is sent?
Once the form is completed, is there a way for the user to lock it before sending it - ie a button they could press to make it no longer fillable? Or can I set the document to be a regular .pdf once it leaves the host machine?
I think that's it! Hopefully someone can help soon - this is a work project that could be potentially very time consuming if I have to create each form field manually. Thank you for any assistance!
Cheers,

Rats! Thank you for your link - I may take you up on that... however for the purposes of this form I'm more than halfway done, so I might as well keep plugging away. A workaround I found was to creat 32 of something I only need 31 of, then delete the parent. Somehow even playing with spacing on the "create multiple fields" option as the fields are being created only gets the vertical alignment close - no matter what I do I still end up manually aligning (vertically) 31 little boxes for each column so they fit visually. Grrrr.
Yes, this can be very tricky. If you don't get the exact right offset between each field, the difference will accumulate and after a while it will be completely off.
You just have to play around with it, until you get it right. Or almost right, and then adjust it manually.
Another thing I've noticed, is that when you select one field and right click for properties, you get an expanded version, as opposed to select/shift/enter for a bunch of cells only yields an abbreviated properties box - what's up with that? Is there a way to change this? For instance, I had set the properties for a column of 31 cells to be number, 1 decimal place. Halfway through my project, the lady I am doing the favor for tells me she would like 2 decimal places, requiring me to manually change each box for 62 cells! Apparently cell formatting is not an option in the abreviated properties dialogue! Is there a fix for that?
No, there isn't. Some propeties you have to set manually (or get right the first time, before copying and pasting...). There is a way to do it with a script, but it's a bit complex and requires using an undocumented method.
This next question is a bit more complicated, and may not be possible. The form I am creating is for payroll purposes, so at the moment it is generic (31 days) and the user fills in the month manually. Is it possible to get the form to recognize a month value (or create a pulldown menu with a selection of months to choose from) and limit the days accordingly? Or better yet, run a calendar function so that weekends and stat holidays are highlighted on the affected row? Kind of like what you can do with an Excel spreadsheet, which is what I designed the form in at the start (then printed to .pdf - the form field recognition did NOT work well on my spreadsheet! hence me doing every cell manually). Is this even possible, and if so, is it something I could learn to do?
Yeah, it's possible, but requires quite a bit of scripting knowledge. If you wish, contact me personally (by PM or email at try6767 at gmail dot com) and I could possibly create this for you.
If you want to do it yourself, you would have to learn a lot about both the Date object in JS and about the various date printing and scanning methods in Acrobat JS.
