How to set a field that automatically generates a unique 'code'/'ID' for fillable PDF form?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a PDF fillable form with Acrobat X Pro.
Can Acrobat allow a function, so that it can automatically generate a 'number'/'code' which I could use as an 'identifier'?
eg. A hidden field named: 'DOC ID' and provide 100001 when added to response file as it's submitted and '100002' to another file when it another is submitted/added onto the response file etc...
I am aware that Response files, if submitted correctly, could automatically generate numbers like 001, 002 etc...
But I'd like to see if I could create a field, that 'numbers' the document for me automatically and uniquely.
Any help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
to do this you need kind of interactivity in your form.
You can achieve this either by:
1) using JavaScript onchange-events on forename and surname items, or
2) use the AJAX Computations option of ApexLib, see: http://www.oracle-and-apex.com/ajax-computations-rich-client-feeling/

Learn how to view and filter responses to your fillable PDF form and how to send data from your PDF form to an Excel spreadsheet using Acrobat X Std. or Pro. You can also check for responses on Acrobat.com.

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.
Disappointed, If you like I can make better ones for you

How to create a Date or time field that automatically saves current date or time?

hello,
i want to know that how to create a Date/Time field that automatically shows current Date/Time when .pdf form is opened.
also want to how to stop user to give input in Date/Time field
currently im putting a Date field but it is accepting user input.
hoping for quick response
Thanks in advance!

You can place the below code in the initialize event of the field to display the current date and time.
Set the language to FormCalc.
You can play around the formats to get the desired format of date and time.
if($.rawValue eq null or $.rawValue eq "") then
$.rawValue = Concat(Num2Date(Date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")," ", Num2Time(Time(), "h:MM:SS A"));
endif
You can not restrict the input area in Date time field instead you can validate the input while existing the field.
(OR) set the field to either readOnly or protected mode.
Thanks

How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi..
How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi experts,
For the component 'ICCMP_EMP_SRCH' there is a view 'BUPAEMPSEARCH' , which has 2 context nodes 'CUSTOMER' AND 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , i need to add the field 'NICKNAME' which is part of the 'CUSTOMER' context node on the search screen. Currrently all the fields on the screen screen are from the 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' context node. when i did the configuration , the 'NICKNAME' field is greyed out . I have already generated the Getter ,Setter , GET_I, GET_M methods for the 'NICKNAME' field and the context node and controller class and context class are all active .
on debugging the GET_I method, i see that rv_disabled = 'TRUE' and the current = collection_wrapper->get_current( ) is returning empty value .
for this rv_disabled to be set false , the code below is not triggered since there is no value in current.
IF current->is_property_readonly(
'NICKNAME' ) = abap_false. "#EC NOTEXT
rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.
when i check for other search fields of context node 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , all the fields are set to rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
can anyone suggest how to approch this. iam i missing any binding between context nodes or any activations ?
The field properties are set as Input field and the display checkbox is not checked.

How to set key fields in a Database view

Hi guru's
iam balaji,plz guide me with how to set key fields in a view.......that field is a non key field in the base table....
thanks in advance,
Balaji.S

take a look at this:
Diagnosis
    In the view, not all of the mandatory fields were included as key
    fields. The key of the view therefore is not unique.
System Response
    All the fields are regarded as key fields in order to guarantee that th
    key lengths are unique.
Procedure
    For views with a large number of fields, this could have a negative
    effect on the performance for the language construction described below
    In this case, all the mandatory key fields should be included in the
    view.

How to get a field that using variable in order to create a query

Hi,
I found a difficulty when creating a query. so, I would like to ask you some question.
1. How to get a field that using variable which that field I want to put it in my query?
For example, I would like to take quantity field in inventory audit report. And when I put my cursor in
quantity field, there was only variable, item, etc. How to get this and put it in query?
2. How to combined the invoice quantity with inventory audit report quantity?
3. I have a query like this:
SELECT distinct T0.[DocDate] as 'Tanggal', T0.[DocNum] as 'No.Faktur', T1.[ItemCode] as 'Kode Barang',
T1.[Dscription] as 'Deskripsi', T1.[Quantity] as 'Quantity', ((T1.[LineTotal])/(T1.[Quantity])) as 'Harga
Satuan', T1.[LineTotal] as 'Harga Total', T3.[CalcPrice] as 'HPP Satuan', ((T3.[CalcPrice]) * (T1.
[Quantity])) as 'HPP Total', T4.[ItmsGrpNam] as 'Jenis Barang', T5.[SlpName] as 'Nama Sales', T1.

[DocDate] >=[%0] and T0.[DocDate] <=[%1] and T4.[ItmsGrpNam] =[%2] and T1.[WhsCode] =[%3]
Is it possible if I just take one invoice with invoice quantity and only show up at once although I have a

Please help me.. cause I'm stuck with this thing :l.
Thank you very much, and I'm waiting your respon soon.

... and, of course, if you have Lion and you leave the "resume" feature turned on, Safari will always start up in the state it was in when you quit it.

Nadeem,
If you have database 10g, look into function REGEXP_REPLACE. Otherwise you can also try this (you might already know).
SELECT SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001', 1,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' ,3,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 5,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 7,3)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 10,2)||'-'||SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 12,2)||'-'||
SUBSTR('CHHOCMIPO07020001' , 14,4)
FROM dual
CH-HO-CM-IPO-07-02-0001
If you have to use this at many places, create a function, pass the raw value, manipulate the string and return.

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

Can I create calculated fields using formscentral on a locally created, fillable PDF form? If so, how?

I am using Acrobat XI Pro to build a fillable PDF form that can be used by customer who have Adobe Reader installed. I would like to create calculated fields, including the summation of two or more currency fields and the product of a currency and number field. The procedure for creating these escapes me. Does anyone have any insight?

Hi Gilad,
thankyou! - yes it seems though I was using the text tool when I had this problem: When I had created a few fields in the 'form edit' mode I then may later have added some normal 'comment' fields of text in the normal mode to highlight certain aspects on a form - I used the text tool thinking that was the right way in to add or edit text - I can now see I double click with the hand tool to still be able to access any text field I want to. Yay!
Many thanks for your kind assistance - I shall try this method later on a new form I was trying to create and which was giving me grief.
One last thing then: what is that default text field that can't be deleted actually for - why is it there? After all, a 'blank pdf' should surely be a truly blank pdf? Perhaps this is one for mighty Adobe....?
Kind Regards,
Pete

How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice". Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen. Others for just the iPads for their larger screens. So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment. When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive. Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.
