How to do a two-page form field?

I'm trying to build a two page letterhead with two fields, but I need to make the text continue from one field to the next (similar to a Word doc automatically continuing onto the next page).
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
B Miller

Yes, you can use something like this as the custom keystroke code of your first field (of course, you might need to adjust the name of the second field in the code):
if (event.fieldFull) getField("Text2").setFocus();

How do I lock a PDF form field after it has been completed by a user?

We have a problem with privacy on our downloadable Pdf Forms for customers, they are required to complete personal details within the Pdf Form Fields and then must be processed by our account team.
But we would require customer completed forms to be disabled from any third party or employee tampering with the entered details.
Once the data has been input into the form provided online and saved and sent-on it needs to be read ONLY from then on!
Help please, Chris.

It depends how secure they need to be. You could include a script in the form which sets the fields to be read-only when the form is submitted, but that can easily be bypassed (and may not be respected by third party PDF applications). Search this forum topic for examples, it's been asked many times before.
If you have Acrobat you can flatten a form, turning the fields into regular page content, but that's not possible in Adobe Reader X. While the flattened page can no longer be edited in Reader, it can still be edited in Acrobat via the touchup tools, so for complete security you would need to apply encryption to the flattened PDF (via a certifying signature or DRM).

How can I have two pages in the same Oracle Drive Path?

I have been using OracleDrive for some time to publish a specific kind of document once every week.
Now I have on my front page a content area that show the newest 3 of these documents. However, I'd like to place a link at the bottom that says "Show All", and that should link to a page that shows all my items in this folder.
So basically I want to have two pages that are based on the same folder..
How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks,
Botzy

Greetings,
When you say two monitors do you mean two separate computers (like 2 iMacs)?
If you mean 2 seperate macs then you could either:
Use a network keyboard / mouse sharing program like Teleport: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14042/teleport
Use a physical KVM switch: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=267031
Hope that helps.

SYSDATE
17-OCT-07
SCOTT@EBOS> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') FROM DUAL;

Two Page Form

I am working on a report that is two blank form that I am developing in Reports. I am getting an error on the first object past the bottom of the margin.
The error states that object B-273 is not fully enclosed in its enclosing object BODY. I updated and moved the margin higher and the error just changed to another object that is still outside of the margin. There are too many text boxes and objects to put everything within the one-page margin. What do I do to allow it to run?

In the Layout Section properties, change the number of vertical panels per page from 1 to 2

How do I add a tax form field to a tax form magnetic tape structure?

I'm in version ECC 6.0:
I copied SAP's tax form HR_F_1099R_TAPE and created ZHR_F_1099R_TAPE, bringing in all the entries.
The only change to ZHR_F_1099R_TAPE is to add tax form fields T102 (STATE withholding) to position 139 and T103 (STATE tax) to position 151. However, when I run PU19 the values are blank. All other fields are populated as expected.
If I stick in T002 (FED tax) and T004 (FED withholding) into positions 151 and 139 I have no issues, but I need state not federal.
What step am I missing to get the T102 and T103 to show in my magnetic tape structure output?
The PDF form works brings in P103 and P102 instead of T103 and T102, but the P's don't work either for the mag media.
Please help.

Good Morning Arti,
Tax Form Field T102 pulls from Tax Form Group 0001, and the same for Tax Form Field T103.
On the magnetic tape structure, my entry is as follows:
03 Payee "B" Record 139 Payment Amount 8 T102
03 Payee "B" Record 151 Payment Amount 9 T103
I'm using the take from field option.
Thanks,
Kerri

Select all the form fields , select first the hold shift key and select the rest Then right click or control click and choose properties. then look for "Fonts" choose desired font. If this works your all set otherwise you will have to choose each indivually and change.

How Do I Display A Hidden Form Field On Executing A Button (Yes Again But In More Depth)

Hi,
Yes, I just asked this question but was not specific enough. Ive looking for code within a JavaScript that will enable a hidden form field within a PDF to be displayed.
What I am attempting to do is to display form field 'Text1" when the button is pushed executing a check of the system date. Im looking for the code to execute the following:
If the system date is equal to or greater then '2009/02/01' (yyyy,mm,dd), then display 'Text1'.
I'm using Adobe pro 8.
Thank You for any help.

You could so something like the following in the Mouse Up event of the button:
// Get system date
var Now = new Date();
// Get cutoff date
var End = util.scand("yyyy/mm/dd", "2009/02/01");
// Set the visibilty of field Text1 based on the date
getField("Text1").display = (Now > End) ? display.visible : display.hidden;

How to make Acrobat Pro 7 form fields same size

I can manually enter form fields in my version of Acrobat Pro 7 but I have to hand draw them. is there a good way to make them all the same height? I know that if I copy the form field that I draw, it will link itself to whatever form field I copied it from.
TIA

The best way is to copy & paste the fields, and then rename them so that
they are no longer "linked".
If you have many such fields to rename, you might want to consider this
tool, developed by me:

How to update session state from form field values without submitting page?

Hi,
I am new to Oracle APEX. I am using Oracle Apex 4.2 on Oracle 11g release 2. The problem is that when I am entering data on a form, when I enter a value in one field and move to the next field, how can I use the value of first field in the validation procedure of next field? I know that when we enter data in fields, the session state is not updated with these values until we submit the page... right... but I have seen that if there is a control of List box type, then Apex gives an option "Action When List changes" where we can choose option to update corresponding session state field with the value of list box item, without submitting the page.
Now my questions is why this option is only available for List box items? why not for other item types like Text box, Check box,... ? can someone please help me with this?
(the issue with update of session state depending on page submitting, is that we need a complete network round trip from client to server in order for it. However if we can update session state variables without submitting page, then we can avoid this network traffic).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Create a dynamic action on change and run a PL/SQL process there with the following code:
BEGIN
NULL;
END;Page items to submit > your item.
This will set the session state without submitting the form.

How can I use two tabular forms on the same page.

I have create one tabular form in page and try to create second tabular form so
it gives below error.
1 error has occurred Updatable SQL Query already exists on page XXXXX.
You can only add one updatable SQL query per page. Select a different page.

I can get this to work but the page is submitted, either when I use a button with URL link or from a link on a display only text field.
Is this how it is supposed to work? I thought it was supposed to work just on the browser so it is fast.
IGNORE THIS!
=============================
I resolved it easily by modifying the URL from f?p=blah blah to #LINK_NAME

How to compare two currency form fields and display a message if the fields do not equal?

My form has 2 fields named Total_1 and Total_2. If one of the fields does not equal the other, a hidden field will display a message in red on the form alerting the user. Otherwise, the message does not display. Looks like a validation script but I would greatly appreciate help in getting it started. Any ideas?
Thanks, Charlie
charlie6067

Since the field values that you want to compare are the results of calculations, you should not normally compare their string values, but rather their numeric values when rounded appropriately (and perhaps then converted to a string). For example, if you have two values that display as 3.14, one could be 3.1400000001 and the other could be 3.13999999999991234. When you get the field values as strings and compare them, they won't be equal though they appear to be. Even some values that are numerically identical won't be equal when compared as strings ("0.0" != "0.00") So the code could be changed to:
// Get the two field values, rounded to two decimals
var v1 = util.printf("%.2f", getField("Total_1").value);
var v2 = util.printf("%.2f", getField("Total_2").value);
// Hide/Show the error message
event.value = (v1 === v2 || (+v1 === 0 && +v2 === 0)) ? "" : "Error message here.";

PDF template : how to have a multiple pages repeating field group

Hello,
I'm trying to create a PDF template.
My problem is that my repeating field group is composed of 2 pages, so what my request has to generate will be N * 2 pages.
But when I put the <?rep_field="BODY_START"?> and the <?rep_field="BODY_END"?> on two different pages, I can't generate the output.
It looks like those BODY_START and BODY_END has to be on the same page.
Could anyone confirm and/or provide help regarding my issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nicolas

Nicolaus, it appears as if Oracle is not willing to support templates generated using Adobe. They give us over a hundred pages on how to define an rtf template and then spend a measly 15 pages on PDF Templates. I have been successful in creating their example using the PO in the User Guide, but unsuccessful in repeating the outer group(which they don't tell you how to do or provide examples). So in summary you can print one PO at a time and the feature works great, but try to print more than one and you are screwed. Maybe it is time for someone from Oracle to make a post and make a believer out of all of us.

How can I view two pages side by side in the new Pages?

I can not find the feature to allow me to do this (which was available in the old version). This is really causing problems with some of my documents that have been created to be viewed this way. Any help would be great!

I am a loyal Apple user because Apple form always follows function. Deleting this feature from Pages was a stupid decision. Amateurish, really. Makes me question the new design team's competence.
One of the key principals in good user experience design is providing value - simple, clean functionality that users find useful. Side-by-side edititng is a great example. Yes, the document is stored internally as a linear stream, but from the user's point of view the presentation should be as a reader sees it. I don't know why it was removed, but I suspect it was either to conform with the internal form of the data, or to the least-common-denominator presentation device, or both.
I bought a Thunderbolt display so that I could edit documents 2 pages at a time. My intended audience sees the document this way, and so I would like to write it this way. But I can't with the new Pages.
Apple, please restore the side-by-side view in Pages. I have work to do. (And while you are at it, fix the EndNote plug-in.)

How do I make two page spreads export correctly to pdf with a book file?

I have a book I am working on in the book pallet. I have several documents in the book and have it set to auto update page numbers and keep it all organized, which is all good. However, when I export to pdf, though the page numbers and order is correct, for some reason, if it is an odd number of pages I get spread, spread, single page, spread.
Just how the first page is always single, any last pages of a document that has an odd number of pages always gets singled out and the next document resumes in spread format. This is all in one pdf file, which I exported from the book pallet with none of the documents selected or open. I have the box for spreads checked, and it is doing spreads, but just not linking documents as spreads.

You can use a multipage importer to import a single Page PDF into InDesign.
Create a single page PDF
Create a facing pages document the same size as your original file
Multi-page place the entire pdf into facing pages (automatically done by script)
Export entire book to PDF as spreads.
http://indesignsecrets.com/zanelli-releases-multipageimporter-for-importing-both-pdf-and-i ndd-files.php
I say to do this with a singe pages PDF - because I don't think it will import multiple InDesign files, you'd have to place them individually - and with my experience it takes longer to import multiple indesign files - so I just use a single pages PDF.
