How to Pick fields for calculations in forms?

I have all the fields in place, with all apparent formatting required for each. Using Properties > Calculate > Pick, Adobe will show me the list of all of my fields, but will not let me populate them in the Pick field individually. I can Select All and Deselect All, but choosing individual fields is totally hit or miss (~95% miss), with no apparent reason. I've been able to select fields that are not formulated as numbers, but cannot select those that are. I was able to select QtyRow9 and UnitPriceRow10 for TotalPriceRow1, but nothing else. I can even change the quantity and unit price in Preview and it calculates correctly. However, there are over 50 more calculations in this form.
My manager was able to open my file and Pick fields on the Calculate tab. After he saved the file and sent it back to me, I still cannot Pick as I would like to. I have Adobe 10.1.1 Standard, while he has Adobe 9.1.2 Standard (he was able to open my file with no problem). We both used Tools > Forms > Edit, although his buttons are located differently than mine. Any ideas what I might be missing?

Pravender --> Yes fields are available when testing datasource in RSA3, but replication does not bring anything new (no selection possible on those fields)
MD --> Ok for the fields not allowed, but here is the need on my side. Maybe somebody knows a workaround to get this selection available ? (or another way to perform it)
I can see in the 4th tab (name is "update") in infopackage screen (BW), a frame named "time-dependant data", and here i have a possibility to filter according dependance period, but only 3 possibility :
- fixed time interval
- routine time interval
- variable for interval
but none of the three allows me to do what I want ...

Can't pick fields for calculation

This is very frustrating.
I am editing the fields of an invoice form and want to use the last field of the line to create a total. I select the field and go into its properties. Under the "Calculate" tab, I select "Value is the 'product' of the following fields" and then click the "Pick" box to select which fields to calculate. I'm then provided with a list of all my fields and I tick my selections and click OK. But once I click OK, I am taken back to the Calculate tab with none of my selections in the fields box. Basically, it does not register my selections.
I have tried this every possible way I can imagine, restarted everything, etc. Still, no matter what I do I cannot get it to register the field selections I make for calculation. I managed to do this successfully for the first line in the form (seemingly at complete random) and haven't been able to reproduce any success for subsequent fields. I check the fields and once I hit OK it completely ignores them.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Consider using one of the other calculation options. For example, to use the simplified field notation option you'd enter something like this:
Text1 * Text2 * Text3 * Text4
This will work if your field names don't have any spaces or punctuation characters in them. It's possible to escape space and punctuation characters with the \ character, but it can get messy
The other option is JavaScript, which would look something like this:
// Set this field to the product of some fields
event.value = getField("Text 1").value * getField("Total1.1").value * getField("Another field name").value;
Note that you can include any field names you want inside the quote characters, so it's more flexible/cleaner than the previous option.

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

But seriously...
Is there any development being done for this? I have a careers section on our website that I have been asked to "make easier for applicants" (right now, there is a link that just opens an email). I'm going to make a full version of an application, but I would really like a way to upload resumes and CV's.
I'm going to have to look into some kind of service if this isnt something on the Muse radar. A reply of some kind would be fantastic!

SharePoint 2013 July 2014 CU - People Picker fields empty in Edit forms

After applying the July 2014 CU for SharePoint server, I discovered that Person or Group (People Picker) fields are not populated with server values in list item Edit forms. However, the field values can be viewed in list views
and in Display forms. I examined the client side code and determined that field data is not being returned from the server for Edit forms.
In a test environment, I uninstalled SharePoint 2013, reinstalled SP 2013 with SP1 and the issue went away. I then applied the May 2014, June 2014, and July 2014 CUs. The issue did not exist after applying the May and June CUs. It
did exist after applying the July 2014 CU.

There is a workaround for this issue. It's a little convoluted, but hey, it's SharePoint. First, you must have a list that has at least one entry in it.
To begin with, you must first
have a list with at least one item in the list.
Next you edit the item with a role that has at least Design privilege, but don't save your changes.
Instead you Edit the page so you can then edit that web part. You can edit the page by clicking on the cog icon and selecting Edit Page
Edit the web part itself
Under “Miscellaneous” section on the just exposed web part window, select "Server Render (Server Render)" in the drop down labeled “CSR Render Mode
Click on “Apply” button within the web part
Save
I was told also the Sept CU would fix the issue but it is under review and to wait until the first of October. Incidentally we found that if you put the entire list into Quick Edit mode, the issue does
not appear.
I hope this helps someone.

How to correct fields in a fillable form?

I have created a form that has approximately 70 check boxes. The fillable form is showing them as text boxes. Is there an easy way to convert them to check boxes without having to create new fields for each entry?

Ok! I think I've got the hang of how to edit and distribute the form. I see that Adobe records user responses, is there some way to block this feature?
For my purposes, I really just need to send the fillable form as an email attachment to users, have the users enter and save their responses into the form, and then have them send the modified form back to me as an email attachment.

Cannot select fields for calculating other fields~

Help -- I am tryiing to get certain fiels in a form to calculate based on selection of other fields. The fields to be selected already have values in them. (The same format I have used for several years, just new set of forms)
I get through the point of setting up the field properties to calculate and I select Sum of... Then it simply will not let me select any fields to use for calculations -- unless I select all fields.
Please -- this is time sensitive and urgent any help responses needed and welcome!

Sounds like you are having issues with Acrobat and not FormsCentral. You would get a better help if you post your question on the Acrobat's forum

Disable Field for Line Details Form

How do I trap an event on a Line Details form to disable a field?
The FormType for all the Line Details forms is 1 so I cannot differentiate one from the other. Also, there does not seem to be a Form Mode for Line Details forms so I cannot differentiate Add mode from Update.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't think you can disable a field in line detail. You can only disable a column... SDK didn't even allow you to disable a row in a line details-matrix, let alone a field... Let us pray then

How to edit fields on a distributed form?

Hello all, I am very new to adobe so please excuse me if this is a basic concept I have missed.
I created a PDF form and then generated a distributed file that I have been using to do a significant amount of data entry. I assumed that the distributed file was what I send to all of the data entry team. I now want to make changes to some of the fields, e.g. adding new ones, deleting old ones. I tried doing this to the distributed file directly and every time I attempt to edit the form fields Adobe crashes on me. This raises a number of questions.
1) Am I not intended to be able to edit the fields directly on the distributed file? Do I need to go back to the original file and edit there, then create a new distributed file?
2) If I don't create a new distributed file and there is a way to add/delete fields, what happens to :
A) the new fields that did not exist on prior responses, will values in this column simply be blank on old responses in my spreadsheet?
B) the old fields that no longer exist on new responses, will there similarly be a column that is perpetually empty in new responses that will contain data from prior ones
3) If I do have to create a new distributed file for every edit I do of the original form, is the easiest way to merge data into one spreadsheet by an en masse copy and paste from one excel spreadsheet into another? Is there a way to ensure the columns will all line up (e.g. do I need to make sure that the tab order places newly created fields at the end?)
Thank you!

Yes, you should make edits to the original form, as it was before you went through the Distribute Form process.
If you make changes, you will have to distribute the new version. The data won't get collected in tracker as though it were the same form. And yes, you will need to somehow manage the differences in the spreadsheet for the different forms since they will likely have different columns. Acrobat won't help you with this.

How to integrate Flashisland for Adobe interactive forms

Hi Experts,
Can you please help us in understanding how to integrate Flashisland with adobe interactive forms?
We need to add swf file in the interactive forms, which will be used in webdynpro abap application.
Any idea will be helpful for us.
Thanks for the support.
Regards
Sathish

Hi Sathish,
You can not add swf file in interactive form, however you can integrate you flash island with web dynpro ABAP application.
Adobe flash island and adobe interactive form are two different things and have different purposes.
You can have adobe flash island and adobe interactive form in a single WD application(even as part of the same screen), but still there will be integration on the data level not on UI level. The UI elements for both will react separately from each other and there can't be any integration of adobe flash island inside adobe form.
However you can develop a flash application using which you can view adobe interactive form similar to adobe reader and use this flash application as part of your WD ABAP application but that doesn't make any sense as without flash island we can show it in WD ABAP view.
I hope this will clear your doubt.
Regards,
Vaibhav

Restricting User Editing Date Picker Field Manually In Adobe Form

Hi Experts,
                   I have an Date Picker field, which list down the calender to select date. But, along with that, it allows user to input any data manually. I want the user to select the date only from the calender and the user should not be allowed to edit the field manually. As option to do that ? I tried all available types and nothing seems to be fulfilling my requirement.
Regards,
Satheeshkumar.M

Hi satheesh
This is possible with a script in the EXIT event of the date field.
It uses a regular expression to check the entered value for a specific pattern.
Allows are dates in these way: [9|99] [.|/|-] [9|99] [.|/|-] [99|9999].
Javascript code
if (! this.formattedValue.match(/^\d{1,2}[\.\/\-]\d{1,2}[\.\/\-](\d{4}|\d{2})$/g)) {
          xfa.host.messageBox("Enter a correct date!", "Invalid Date", 0, 0);
         xfa.host.setFocus(this.somExpression);

I cannot believe the quality of the Acrobat X tutorials. Why can’t they be like the ones for CS. Some balloon text boxes flash by so fast they cannot be read, timing is also an issue for other balloons.

How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
- Michael

Hi M. Krebs,
Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Best,
Sara
