How to mask a particular field depending on the user for a protected pdf?

Hi,
I have a requirement of showing a particular fiels data to only one user and to hide that critical data to others. For example, suppose I have two users viz, Primary user and Secondary user. I have a field named UID in my protected pdf form which has some critical data. I want only my Primary user enter and view the information entered in the UID field. When the Secondary user opens the document using his credentials, he should not be able to view the data in the UID field. It should be displayed in astrix as in a password field. Can anyone help me how to acheive this for a protected document?
Thanks and Regards,
Maria Johni

It is possible. You should be having a field in your XSD schema for the username. Bind the username to a hidden field in your form.
In the designer, in form initialize event,
write the code: if hiddenfield.rawValue == "person A"
                             subform1.presence = "hidden";
                       if hiddenfield.rawValue == "person B"
                             subform2.presence = "hidden";
                             subform1.presence = "visible"   }
In your process, when your moving from one step to other step, update the uname accordingly and the form will respond according to the username.

How do I populate form fields depending on the value of a list box?

Hi,
Can anybody help me out here?
I'm creating a form where I'm needing to populate a number of fields (first name & last name) based on the value of a list box (values are 1,2,3,4,5,6) ie: if 3 is selected 3 sets of the first name and last name fields populate on the page for the user to fill out.
At this stage it is just a prototype site and there is no database running behind it.
Thanks
Hayden

This can only be solved if you have javascript coding skills. Without knowing more about what you want to do and why, I can only show you a skeleton of how your code should look, but consider this form select field -
<select onchange="populateForm()">
When a value is selected from that list, the "onchange" event will fire, and will call the javascript function called populateForm(). You need to define a function by that name somewhere on the page -
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function populateForm(value) {
 if value >0 { document.getElementById("fieldID").style.display='block' }
 if value >1 { .... }
 etc.
//]]>
</script>
The page itself would need to have ALL the fields already in the form, but with those that are to be revealed set to a style of display:none.
Obviously, this is a skinny skeleton. Each test in the function would reveal a new field on the page by changing its display style from "none" (which is how they should be set in the code) to "block". You would need a separate function for each type of field that might need to be chosen.
If this is well over your head, then I'm afraid you will be out of luck for this particular approach....

How to keep a calculation field blank until the user enters a number?

I am building a sales sheet for a school that sells scrip as a fund-raiser. I have the document set so that when the user enters the number of scrip certificates he wants (say, two $25 gift certificates at Lowe's), the program will automatically calculate that this user owes $50 for that scrip category. However, there are more than 100 companies that one can choose from, and if the user doesn't enter a number, the calculated field shows $0. Is there a way that each field can stay blank until the user enters a number bigger than zero? By the way, I'm using this calculation to determine the value (borrowed from a user on this forum): event.value = 50 * this.getField("Lowes").value
Thanks!

There are two approaches. You can either add the following Validate script:
// Custom Validate script for calculated field
if (+event.value !== 0) event.value = "";
Or you can change your custom Calculate script and set the Format type of the field to "None":
// Custom Calculate script
(function () {
var v = +getField("Lowes").value;
event.value = (v !== 0) ? util.printf("$%.2f", v) : "";

How do I make multiple fields dependent on a checkbox?

I've got about 10 fields in an adobe form that I want to appear and be accessible if a checkbox is checked. If the checkbox isn't checked, then I don't want them accessible or visible. Is this possible?

Sure it is. The code can be made much simpler if you use hierarchical naming for the fields. For example, suppose all of the fields that you want to show/hide have a prefix of "group1.", (e.g., group1.name, group1.address, group1.state, etc.), then you can use the following code in the Mouse Up event of the check box:
// Get the value of this check box
var v = event.target.value;
// Show/Hide the group1 fields depending on the value of this check box
getField("group1").display = v === "Off" ? display.hidden : display.visible
It's often a good idea to reset the fields whenever they are hidden or shown, especially if the form data will be exported, so that the form data is consistent with the state of the form. If you want to do this, you could add this line to the beginning of the script:
// Reset the group1 fields
resetForm(["group1"]);
If you don't use such a naming system, the second line of code would have to be repeated for every field in the group, using the indivudual field names of course, and the resetForm statement would have to include multiple array elements for the names of the individual fields.

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?

How can i transfer a field value in the main report to its sub-report?Please eloberate with example if possible!Thanks... 

You can do a couple of things - one would be to pass the information using the data linking expert. Right click on the subreport, choose 'Change Subreport Links' and select the field(s) you are wanting to pass to the subreport. CRW will build parameters and a record selection formula for you in the subreport, and if that's what you want, then great. But you can also remove the selection formula from the subreport and work with the parameter fields in the subreport however you would like.Alternatively, you can look to passing Shared variables back and forth from the main and subreport. this link talks about the method to do this: http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/251

How to preven JButton of generated actions when the user keep pressing down

How to preven JButton of generated actions when the user keep pressing down the key or the short cut
The code below to show the issue when the user keep pressing Alt+ O
We want to prevent the JButton from generating multi actions just one action only
A sample of code shows the behaviour which has to be prevented. Continue pressing "Alt +O" and you will see the standard ouptput will print time stamps
Please notice, I am NOT interested in Mouse press which has a solution by adding a threshold ( setMultiClickThreshhold(long threshhold) on the JButton as an attribute.
public class TestPanel extends JPanel
 private JButton btn;
 public TestPanel()
 btn = new JButton("Open");
 this.add(btn);
 registerCommand(new MyAction(), InputEvent.ALT_MASK,
 KeyEvent.VK_O, btn, btn.getText(), 0);
 public static void registerCommand(AbstractAction action,
 int mask,
 int shortCommand,
 JComponent component,
 String actionName,
 int mnemonicIndex)
 InputMap inputMap = component.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
 KeyStroke knappKombination = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(shortCommand, mask);
 if ((component instanceof AbstractButton)
 && mnemonicIndex >= 0
 && mnemonicIndex < actionName.length()
 && (shortCommand >= KeyEvent.VK_A && shortCommand <= KeyEvent.VK_Z))
 ((AbstractButton) component).setDisplayedMnemonicIndex(mnemonicIndex);
 if (inputMap != null)
 ActionMap actionMap = component.getActionMap();
 inputMap.put(knappKombination, actionName);
 if (actionMap != null)
 actionMap.put(actionName, action);

Reading from a file. How to ask the user for file name at run time????

I have the code to read from a file but my problem is how to prompt the user for the file name at run time.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.InputMismatchException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class FileRead {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner scan = null;
        File file = new File("Results.txt");
        String number;
        try {
            scan = new Scanner(file);
            while (scan.hasNext()){
            number = scan.next();
            System.out.println(number);}
        catch (FileNotFoundException ex1){
            System.out.println("No such file");
        catch (IllegalStateException ex2){
            System.out.println("Did you close the read by mistake");
        catch (InputMismatchException ex){
            System.out.println("File structure incorrect");
        finally{
            scan.close();}
}Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have read through some of the tutorials that you have directed me too and they are very useful, thank you. however there are still a few things that i am not clear about. I am using net beans 5.0 I have placed a text file named Results.txt into the project at the root so the program can view it.
When I use the code that you provided me with, does it matter where the file is, or will it look through everywhere on the hard drive to find a match?
This code compiles but at run time it comes up with this error
run-single:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NamedFile
Exception in thread "main"
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 3 seconds)
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
class NamedFileInput
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
    int num, square;
    // this Scanner is used to read what the user enters
    Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );
    String fileName;
    System.out.print("File Name: ");
    fileName = user.nextLine().trim();
    File file = new File( fileName );     // create a File object
    // this Scanner is used to read from the file
    Scanner scan = new Scanner( file );
    while( scan.hasNextInt() )   // is there more data to process?
      num = scan.nextInt();
      square = num * num ;
      System.out.println("The square of " + num + " is " + square);
}his is the code that i used. It is the same as the code you posted for me (on chapter 23 I/O using Scanner and PrintStream) Sorry im just really stuck on this!!

In the Date Picker, How can I default to select * dates if the user does not select a date.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
Now lets say l want everythingCould you post some sample data and the output that you want to get..? It would be much easy to understand the requirements...
When you mean everything, I am assuming you need all possible dates possible between date1 and date2.
you can use... (from asktom.oracle.com).
1 select to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
2 from ALL_OBJECTS
3 where rownum <= (to_date('20-jan-2009','dd-mon-yyyy') -
4* to_date('12-jan-2009','DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )
sql> /
TO_DATE('
12-JAN-09
13-JAN-09
14-JAN-09
15-JAN-09
16-JAN-09
17-JAN-09
18-JAN-09
19-JAN-09
20-JAN-09
9 rows selected.
For your case, since you have date1 and date2...
select to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') + rownum -1
from ALL_OBJECTS
where rownum <= (to_date(:p12_date2,'dd-mon-yyyy') -
 to_date(:p12_date1,'DD-MON-YYYY') +1 )Should work.. in my opinion...Haven't tested the second one in Apex .
Is this what you were looking for ..?? If not, please elaborate...
Thanks,
Rajesh.
