How to create fillable PDF with dynamic content dropdowns?

I'm creating a March Madness bracket for people that don't really understand how they work.  What I'd like to do is have dropdowns for each of bracket lines (they would list the teams playing against each other for that game and they would select who they think would win).  I would then like the dropdown for the next game to auto-populate with only the two options for the next round. 
For example, team A and team B play against each other and teams C and D play against each other.  There are two separate dropdowns, one with A and B as choices and the other with C and D as choices.  The user thinks A and C will win their games, so the next dropdown would only have the options of selecting A and C.  To illustrate:
AA and B are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects A to win.
BA or C are listed in the dropdown because the user has selected A and C to win their previous games.
CC and D are listed in the dropdown, and the user selects C to win.
D
I can make the first round dropdowns just fine, but I'm not sure how to conditionally/dynamically populate the second round dropdowns based off of user selections.

I don't understand your request but my english is not the best.
But here you can see a script. You can copy this in the first dropdown in the exit-event.
In this example you will give the first dropdwon the entries
"123"
"345"
"678"
The first case describes what happens when the user clicks "123" the second drowdown will get the entries "456" and "789".
When the user clicks "456" the second drowdown will get the entries "123" and "789".
I think you can adapt this script as you need.
Hope I could help a little bit,
Mandy
switch (xfa.event.newText)
    case "123":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("456");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("789");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "456":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("123");
        DropdownListe2.addItem("789");
        DropdownListe2.selectedIndex = 0;
        break;
    case "789":
        DropdownListe2.clearItems();
        DropdownListe2.addItem("Please select a value");

  • How to create a pdf with the correct size?

    Hi there
    How do I create a pdf with the correct size? I created several albums and ordered them. Now I want to backup the album and I know how to create a pdf, but when I choose A5 it's to big, when I create my own size it's not the size it should be. The original (made with iphoto) is a small size album 200x150mm. But when I create my own size (200x150) it shows some white borders.
    Does anybody have some tips ore workarounds?

    Iphoto 11 (9.4.2)

    Books are designed for and printed on 8.5 x 11 inch stock, US Letter size.  You shouldn't have to select any size.  While viewing the All Pages mode in the book Control-Click on the page and select Save Book as PDF from the contextual menu. 
    That will create a PDF that iPhoto uses to upload and print.  Not all pages will be the same size as the dust jacket will be present in it's full size, 32.8 inches x 8.91 inches:
    If you want a PDF that's designed for your own printing the type Command+P while viewing the All Pages window.  In the first print window click on the PDF button.  It will present you with a contextual menu where you should select Save as PDF.  That will give you an 8.5 x 11 PDF file with all pages the same size.

  • How would I create a PDF with dynamic spelling notations intact?

    Hi Everyone,
    Is there a way to print a PDF version of everything I see on the screen when I run the Dynamic Spellcheck in InDesign?  I'd like to send everyone on my staff a PDF proof that includes all of the spelling suggestions. 
    I would be extremely grateful for your help.  Nothing I've tried seems to work, and this forum is my last hope.  Thank you!
    Brian

    Check this site: http://www.kerntiff.co.uk/products-4-indesign/spellproof-id
    Using it, and it works great. There is an option for highlighting words which can be turned off, if you just want the dynamic "squiggles".
    It works with printing, but if you want a PDF you have to create the PDF as a postscript and then distill it.

  • How to create automatically PDF with Adobe OLE/Automation without pop-up?

    Hi,
    I developped an application (langage Windev) which extract datas from  PDF documents and split them in many PDF documents.
    I use Adobe Arcobat Pro (version 10.1.8).
    I call the method "save" from the object AcroExch.PDDoc and  the method "close" from the object AcroExch.AVDoc.
    It works good mostly but sometimes, after the treatment of a document, I have this message at beginning of the treatment of the following document:
              Adobe Acrobat recovered one or more documents that have not been properly recorded before the Acrobat stop.
              Click Yes to open the documents retrieved.
    However, the methods "call" and "save" return no errors...
    Do you know what is the reason? Or how to catch this message?
    Regards,

    If you want dynamic content, then you want to use form fields and JavaScript.
    If you were to use a n Acrobat Template with the necessary JavaScirpt, you would need to add that template to each PDF and then run a JavaScript to overlay that  template over each page.
    It might be easier to use a Batch Process or Action to add the necessary Will Print script and form field on each page. You could even add a menu or tool bar item to perform this task.
    You can search these forums for the necessary code.

    cause of the error:
    After some extensive research on the web, it is found that that you are using an UTF-8 encoded file with byte-order mark (BOM). Java doesn't handle BOMs on UTF-8 files properly, making the three header bytes appear as being part of the document. UTF-8 files with BOMs are commonly generated by tools such as Window's Notepad. This is a known bug in Java, but it still needs fixing after almost 8 years...
    There are some hexadecimal character at the begining of the file, which is giving error"content not allowed in prolog". No solution is provided for this till now.
    Example: suppose your file start with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>. you will see this in a editor. But if you open this file with any hexadecimal editor you will find some junk character in the start of the file.that is causing the problem
    solution:
    1) convert your file into a string and then read the file from the forst character that in my case the first character will be "<".so the junk character will not be there in the string and then again convert it into a file.
    2) some people are able to solve this problem by changing the "utf-8" to "utf-16". remember only in some case. some times this problem also exits in "utf-16" file.
    3) some are able to solve this problem by changing the LANG to US.en.
    4) If the first three bytes of the file have hexadecimal values EF BB BF then the file contains a BOM.so you can also handle by your own.
    5)Download a hexadecimal editor and remove the BOM.
    6) In case you are not able to think furthe then please to more research in internet may be you find some other solution to this problem. But These solution are some type of hack not exactly a solution.

  • How to create a pdf-file dynamically

    Hi all,
    does anybody have a tutorial or self-made code, in which is illustrated, how to dynamically create a pdf-file.
    I am getting some information like this: "Line one has a textfield and an input-field", etc. These informations have to be translated as a pdf-file by myself.
    I read, that a pdf-file needs a xdp and the data as an inputstream. Is there anybody who can explain this issue?
    I think, that there are a lot of people, who are interested in this problem.
    Thank you for your help.

  • PSE 8: How to create a pdf with several pages?

    I want to deliver DINA4-Sheets (thats bacic European standard size of a sheet of paper for let's say writing an official letter) to print out in a copy-shop. Now the copy-shop-owner says, for him it will be much easier if I hand in my 10-20 pages in one pdf-file with 10-20 pages and not 10-20 single-paged pdf-files, cause then he only needs to do the colour-routines and adjustings once and not many times. Now there is the problem, in Elements 8 there is the option to save a psd as a pdf-file, but I don't know how to add the other files and make a pdf with more pages than just one. May be I need to do that with Scribus, a freeware prog.

    Hello Barbara!
    Your answer just proved extremely helpful. It worked that way. I first created a pse-file in the right document size. Then with copy and paste I imported the first page and flattened it to one layer. Then I chose to create the second pse-page, that shows automatically in the menue then with the pse-file open. Into the second page again with copy and paste I imported the second single sheet and flattened the second page too to one layer and so on. That way it works. Finally I first save in the pse-file and then save the whole thing as pdf.
    Very easy to do. Thanks a lot!

  • How to create a PDF with Only Read Property

    Hello Gurus,
    I have a big question:
    How can I create an Smartform which can be exported in an Only Read PDF ?
    I need to do that for creating a PDF file which information can not be copied.
    Is that Possible?
    Thanks!!!
    rgds.
    Miguel Angel.

    Hi,
    the nature of a PDF file is that it cannot be modified, only read with Adobe Reader, and not only once downloading the form from SAP but with any tool. What you pretend is impossible, because there are many tools in the market for making the PDF files either editable or per Copy + paste you can process the texts in Word or any software.
    Search in the internet (www.download.com) if there´s a software that can lock your file, but I am sure that this will not work in conjunction with SAP during generation of file; it´s going to be a manual work.

  • How to create a PDF with markup enabled for Reader users?

    I have a bunch of Word 2007 documents containing project specs. I would like to be able to turn them into PDF documents that other people can markup using Reader. Is this possible?
    I tried using the built-in PDF output module. It creates a PDF document, but it is not enabled for comments.
    About halfway down on this comparison page,
         http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html
    there is a row that says,
         "Review documents using familiar commenting tools such as sticky
         notes, highlighting, lines, shapes, and stamps"
    In the Reader column, there is a symbol in the Reader column that I guess is
    supposed to be some sort of half-full container or something. At the
    bottom, it says
         "When enabled by Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Pro Extended."
    This seems to indicate that Acrobat Standard cannot create comment-enabled PDF documents, but either Pro or Pro Extended can. Is that correct?
    If I buy Acrobat Pro, will I be able to use it to create comment-enabled PDF documents from my Word 2007 documents?
    If so, how does it work? Will it convert the Word document? Will it convert the PDF document I create using the Word add-in? Can I invoke it from inside Word?
    Thanks

    It's very simple. Create your PDF from Word, open in Acrobat and use the Comments>Enable for commenting and analysis in Adobe Reader. You cannot invoke it from within Word no.

  • How to create a PDF with Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac?

  • How to create small PDFs with reasonable quality images?

    Help me Obiwan Adobe!
    There seem to be several utilities around the web that claim to do this, but I figured I'd ask the experts first. There must be some sort of step by step technique outlined somewhere that enables you to create PDFs that have reasonable image quality but don't come with such extreme weight that they can't be emailed.
    I have seen suggestions ranging from using the Print to PDF function in InDesign (sometimes that works, sometimes not), to exporting out of InDesign using the PDF/X1a preset (used to work ok, but now does not seem to crunch the files down as much as they used to) to adjusting preferences to a lower screen resolution—not in the export or save as dialog box—then saving as reduced size. I've tried almost every technique I have seen but to no avail.
    So I assume there is something I am missing. In builiding an InDesign file that you want to severely compress, is it better to use JPEGs or other PDFs or something else for placed images?
    I know it is alot to ask, and clearly native Acrobat functions are not much help, but I have several uses for this. I do a lot of book design and prefer to send drafts to clients that are at least good enough for them to look at without fuzzy images. I also would like to put together a portfolio PDF document that does not require sending through FTP. In fact most places that ask for my portfolio PDF want it smaller than 1.5 MB. That seems to be impossible.
    So there you go. Somebody needs to write a book. In fact, if I get some good direction, maybe I'll do it.
    Thanks

    A lot depends on the types of images you have and the resolution. You may be best adjusting the resolution first in InDesign and then creating the PDF. For the options in the export, you may have to ask in the ID forum since the export is an ID function. Printing to the Adobe PDF printer is the other that was suggested (I usually hear that the ID export is the best way to go, but I don't have ID to confirm). In printing to the Adobe PDF printer there are several options to consider -- one is the selection of the job settings to use. The default is Std that embeds all but the Adobe fonts and has a slightly lower graphics resolution than Press or Print settings. Also, in the advanced button of the Adobe PDF printer>layout (may vary with Acrobat version), select the Graphic>Print Quality and lower it. I use 300 dpi and several others recommend 600. The default is 1200 that is useless unless you are expecting folks to zoom to see fine details.
    If you open the job settings Adobe PDF Settings>Default Settings (select one of the settings files - probably press or print, or try Std if you want) and check the graphic tab to see the resolution that will be used for the graphics. A combination of this resolution setting and the Print Quality should address your issues.

    Essentially you want to write a pl/sql function which returns a varchar2 string. The contents of the string must be a valid sql statement.
    Once you have done this, you need to add a report region as type sql report and you will have the option of writing it as a query or as a function returning query. Choose function returning query and enter in the function call.
    Note your function must be valid, and must be executable by your apex parsing schema.
    example:
    create or replace
    function test_report(   p1_tablename       in varchar2)
    return varchar2
    is
    v_query varchar2(4000);
    begin
