How to override a calculated field in acrobat pro xi

I have fields that will normally be calculated. However, it may be possible to offer discounts and the rep may want to enter a flat fee. How do I make a field be either calculated or user entered? Older versions seem to have that capability.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

How to create a calculated field

Hi. I'd like to know how to create a calculated field for a master- detail form. For example: having two db fields price and quantity, i created a the total item (price * quantity) as pl/sql function like this:
begin
:p13_item_total := :p13_price * :p13_quantity;
end;
However, the item is not calculated. It is not and instant calculation. I mean if i modify either price or quantity, how to recalculate item total immediately

You must submit the page to do it with PL/SQL. If you do not want to submit the page, you must do it with JavaScript.
Thanks,
Tyler

Creating an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X

I want to make an empty signature field in Acrobat Pro X, so that Acrobat Reader users can later sign it. I know how to enable that last part ("extended PDF Reader"), but don't know how to make an empty field.

Is a blank signature field what I need to create if I want my document to be signed by someone else? I am just the editor of the document. I will not officially sign the document. The signature will come from a managment postion. Everytime I try to create a blank signature field though Adobe wants to sign the document with my personal signature.

How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

I tried to use "Edit Document Text" Function. There is an error pop-up as " All or part of the selection has no available system font. You cannot add or delete text using the currently selected font.". How can I add system font to Acrobat Pro X?

It is referring to the fonts installed on your computer - to edit text within a PDF you must have the same font installed (i.e. one with the same PostScript name). Acrobat doesn't have a separate way to load fonts, you install them in the normal way through your operating system control panel after downloading/purchasing the font files from a vendor.

Is there a limit to calculation fields in Acrobat 9?

Hi
Using Acrobat 9 on Mac OS 10.6.8
    I have a 4 page form with about 30 or more calculation fields.
     When I look at the set calculation order there 24 names there minus the 3 that I am trying to get to work on save.
     3 of the calculation fields will not save.
     Sometimes they will show in the "Set Field Calculation Order" but when I save and reopen they will no longer show up and will not calculate.
     Does anyone have any idea as to why this is?

Hi George
I was trying to help the previous questioner.
Your script is good and I saved it.
However I think the form is corrupted and would not save the changes and function.
The other person found a solution by doing a document level script and it will save and give the total, but you can retype the total and it will not recalculate unless you change one of the fields the total is derived from.

How to add a calculated field in a list definition (schema.xml)?

Hello,
I'm currently trying to add a calculated field to a list definition (schema.xml).
I have put the following code at the end of the schema.xml for the list I want to create. But when I deploy and activate the feature for the list, it doesn't appear in the list field.
<Field ID="{EE20EC4B-4216-4259-A84F-C478CE42B70F}" Name="EC_EventsMgmt_CalculatedTime" StaticName="EC_EventsMgmt_CalculatedTime" Group="EC_EventsMgmt" Type="Calculated" DisplayName="Calculated Time" Required="TRUE" Hidden="FALSE" ReadOnly="FALSE" Format="DateTime"> <Formula>=DATE(2009,1,1)+TIME(EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleHour,EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleMinute,0)</Formula> <FieldRefs> <FieldRef Name="EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleHour"/> <FieldRef Name="EC_EventsMgmt_ScheduleMinute"/> </FieldRefs> </Field>
Could you please give me some help and explain me why it is not working?
Thanks a lot.

Hi there.
If I understand correctly, you create this list within the same feature?
If so, the list isn't available during the propagation, and therefore the calculated field can't be added.
If this is the case, then you could work around this by adding a feature activated event handler to your feature and add the calculated field programmatically in that event.
Hope this helps.

Magnus

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) : "";

Annotation/tag numbers on fillable fields in Acrobat Pro 9.pdf

I would like to know how I can prevent the annotation or tag number from displaying and printing when I create editable fields on my document using Acrobat Pro 9. This ruins my documents because these numerical annotations/tags display on top of any editable or fillable fields in my document. I cannot seem to find an option or setting that will make sure that they never display on the document.

I think this is due to some sort of bug. A number of people have reported this but I've never been able to dupplicate it, even when I've had access to the same document. All I can suggest is trying (in this order):
1. Apply the latest updates to Acrobat 9
2. Repair Acrobat (Help > Repair Acrobat Installation
3. If there's no difference, deactivate, uninstall, and reinstall Acrobat

Linking text form fields in Acrobat Pro

I am using Acrobat Pro. I have successfully entered javascript that links multiple text fields so that when reaching the end of one field it automatically advances to the next. My problem is that if I am in the middle of a word it will split the word instead of carrying the entire word to the next line. How do I fix this?

I'm having a simliar problem except for some reason, if I am typing a word, the sentance will advance to the next field but will be missing a letter and looks like this:
This is an example of what Acrob
t is doing.
There is a letter that disappears and I can't seem to find how/where to fix it. I think it involves something with the java code but I'm not sure...

How to access a missing font in Acrobat PRo XI

I am editing a PDF using a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. The text font in the PDF is Zurich BT. However, that font displayed below the Format DDLB, but greyed out so it cannot be clicked upon. Instead, Adobe has replaced Zurich BT with Minion Pro. How can I get the Zurich BT fond made available for my use? Do I have to download and add this font?
You can see from this image clipping that when I change the address to the new location this text appears in Minion Pro, not Zurich BT.

Need help with Java Script to perform a calculation in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 form

I have a form (test) that I am creating in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.
I need help creating custom Java Script so I can get the desired answer.
1) There are several questions in each group that require a numerical answer between 0-4
2) There is a total field set up to sum the answers from all above questions
3) The final "score" takes the answer from Step 2 above and divides by the total possible answer
Any help on what Java Script I need to complete this would be greatly appreciated!
I've attached a "spreadsheet" that shows it in more detail as well as what formulas I used in Excel to get the desired end result.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the "The field is the average of:"?

Creating an editable text field in Acrobat Pro 9.5

I create editing tests for applicants to my company. Previously I used Word, but I want to these tests to be pdfs moving forward because when I use Word there are various ways the test takwers can cheat. For most of the sections of the tests I can use various Acrobat form fields, radio buttons, etc. But there is one section that is typically a 700-word text sample that the test taker is required to edit. Would I be able to insert this much text in a text field so that it is editable? I want to limit the test taker's ability to refomat the document, which is another reason I want these to be pdfs.
I am using Acrobat Pro 9.5.
I'd appreciate any suggestions from users.
Thanks.
dg

You can enter as much text as you want into a text field. Just need to
leave enough place for it on the page and make sure to set it as multi-line.
Regarding limiting the ways the document can be edited: Are the test takers
going to be using Reader or Acrobat? If the former, there's no problem.
They can't do anything except fill in the files and save the file (if you
enable that) or print it or submit it back to you.
If they are using Acrobat, or have access to it, then you should password
protect the file to prevent it from being edited in undesired ways.

How to create a Xfdf doc. in Acrobat Pro 10 through code?

Hi All..!!!
I wanted to know whether there is a way to create an XPdf document in Acrobat Pro 10. I know that we can create a pdf document through code using the SDK.. I wanted to know whether the same can be done for XPdf documents..
Thanks!!

Writing an XFDF is not that difficult; all you need is a tool allowing you to assemble text strings.
The preferred way to get a sample on how the XFDF should look like is to export one from the form concerned, and to repeat it using your code. In this case, the document knows best how the XFDF should look like.
Hope this can help.

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.
