I've made a fillable form and need javascript assistance

I've created a fillable form (for internal company use) and would like certain fields to auto fill based on what other field values are.
Here is snap shot of the form
Here is an explanation of the table.
The top fillable row: model = user fill in model; Serial No. = user fill in serial no.; DOP = user fill in DOP; Warranty = user select valid or void (combo box)
Fillable row under "IDX Diagnostics/warranty/parts/labor/qty/cost/total/action/date complete": IDX Diagnostics = user fillable diagnostics; warranty = user select valid or void (combo box); parts/labor = user fill in parts/labor time; qty = user enter a number; cost = user enter a number; total = auto fills based on qty * cost; action = user selects repair/no repair; date complete = user fills in date.
The "total cost" field adds up all the totals.
Here is what i'd like to accomplish
1. When the second "warranty" (combo box) is set to "Valid", i'd like the total cost value to be $0 no matter what
2. When the action is set to "no repair", i'd like the total for that row to be $0 and override the qty*cost value.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Which program are you using? If you are using Livecycle Designer you can use the Action Builder to make your fields do what you want based on user selection. If you are interested in this there is a good tutorial here:

    What version of Reader are they using, exactly? And are you sure they're
    using Reader itself and not opening the file inside a browser window, for
    example?

You know, for example if you have customers, I need to be able to write the usual , name, last name, address, and some other details and then using a standard letter I would like the form to be able to populate these fields automatically in a standard pre formatted letter by our company and then be able to print it.

  • When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

    When creating a fillable form and saving it as a pdf, the default color of the data fields is a light blue. How do I change the color to something else that will copy better, e.g. a light yellow?

    It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

  • I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

    I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Steve Odem,
    If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Mac OS 10.9.2 Reader 11.0.7 does not initialize, cannot fill in fillable forms and side scroll bars does not operate.  Can you please help?

    Mac OS 10.9.2 Reader 11.0.7 does not initialize, cannot fill in fillable forms and side scroll bars does not operate.  Can you please help?

    Perhaps you missed that you started a discussion at I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar. and you did not respond to the last post there.

  • Help needed creating a fillable form and emailing it.

    I'm new to all this and have no clue where to start.  If there is a document that lays out how to do this, a link to it would work.  I need to create 2 fillable forms.  1 will need a submit button and once you click submit, it automatically sends the form.  The 2nd one will need to allow the end user to select to whom the document is to go to.  I think it will have to open an email message to do this, but I'm not sure.  Please advise.

    It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

  • Fillable Forms and Distribution : Flatten Author's text but not Form Fields

    Ok folks, first time posting on this forum though definitely not my first time searching for answers!  I've been pretty successful with other questions though I think I've stumped myself on this one.
    I've created a "generic" Fillable Form that I will be using to distribute to various contacts for certain upcoming projects that we will be participating in.  Because each project will be different, instead of having to create a new form each time, I am hoping that with my base model form I can input various information with the type writer tool and somehow protect this information from being edited/deleted while still allowing my contacts to input their information within the form fields.
    I've tried applying different variations of the security features, but the drawback of doing this is that it will not allow me to "distribute" my form so that it can be track with Adobe Tracker.  The only way I can succefully distribute this form to the masses and track responses is if all security settings for the document are turned off. 
    I hope this all makes sense how I'm explaining it.  Because the information (not the form fields) on the document being sent out is changing every week, I was hoping there would be an easier way other than creating an entirely new Fillable Form for each.  I'm not an expert with Actions but would it be possible to create an Action that would "Flatten" the type writer text only?  That would at least prevent others from manipulating or deleting the information I have placed on the document.

  • I created a Custom list New Form and need to make the text fields read only

    When I use SharePoint Designer and add the read only attribute  to the  SharePoint form field, then it throws  a web part error.
    but here is the thing, I have current user Filters populating the Form Fields. So the form fields  populate First name , last name etc. and I need these fields read-only....
    the Client doesn t want the end user to Change those fields.  Is there any way to "LOCK" the form fields?
    As I have only 7 text fields that need to be locked down. and one field is a signature line that is a true input field.. where the  user has to inter their initials.
    Any ideas? as I have tried most of the items available thru searches nothing works, or it throws that web part error message.
    Steve Athey

    Daniel: ( I'm now at work, a different ID is logged on for me)
    I used SharePoint Designer.
    Steps:
     created a web part page
    then on the SharePoint Designer ribbon I then went to insert:
    new item form
    Then I selected my data source (list)
    then I placed the 8 columns on the page
    a page viewer web part to pull the manual that people have to read.
    and 7 current user filter webparts. (1 for each form field) Yes it is over kill, but I'm trying to keep this straight out of box as much as possible...
    then for the form fields
    I added a parameter and the read only tag see below in bold:
    <asp:TextBox runat="server" text="{$ParamEmployID}" id="ff17{$Pos}" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff17',$Pos),'Text','TextChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Employee_x0020_ID')}" 
    ReadOnly="True" />
    I also  added the parameters in the ribbon area
    the error message doesn't tell me much, it just send me to web part maintenance page... 
    if I removed the  ReadOnly = True then the error  goes away.....   So I was trying to find a  quick simple  JQuery and or javascript   code item that would  make  the 7 text fields readonly and leave the
    8th  text field alone  to allow people to place their initials on the page to say that they read the manual.
    I have  created hundreds of these types of pages .. this is the first time I have run into this issue, but it also the first time I have tried to use the ReadOnly = True item.
    Any Ideas  and or thought on how to make the  items read only? and not throw the error.

  • How good is the new Adobe Reader IOS for fillable forms and interactive pdfs?

    At last adobe reader for ios has been updated so now fillable forms can be completed on ipad/iphone but how good is it?
    I've tested a form and reset form/print form and save as buttons do not seem to work.
    Form submit seems ok, just wondered what others thought?
    Also the new Adobe Reader IOS is now able to display interactive pdfs with buttons such as go to next page etc yet page transitions do not work? Again whats everyone elses opinion on the reader ios update?

    My preliminary experience is that Reader does better with forms than with interactivity.
    I've written a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about PDF readers for tablets. Here's the latest one:
    Finding the Best Tablet PDF Reader
    You should also check out PDF Expert (US $9.99) which handles interactivity better than Reader if that is important to you.

  • Info on fillable forms and usage rights settings

    I have created several different forms in Acrobat 8 and saved the forms on multiple office computers for employees to fill out. My first question: I have enabled the user rights to be able to fill-in, print and save completed forms.  I am wondering if there is a way that when save as is used and they save the completed form, that this is their only option.  Right now, if they fill it out and hit save instead of save as, it will save their filled form but will overwrite my original form file???
    My second question: Once my employees have saved their filled form, when they go to email this filled form to a client, is there a setting to make the file they send read only?
    I thought on my second question that maybe there was a way to save the filled form as read only, but ive had no luck figuring out how.  On the first question, I have no clue so any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • Fillable Forms and Excel

    Hey there,
    I'm new to these forums, so maybe this problem has already been addressed.
    I've got about 800 PDF forms that we're trying to create about various property information.  That information exists in GIS software in a .dbf format, and I converted it to an excel spreadsheet.  I've got a fillable PDF that I would love to populate automatically with that data from excel, but so far I'm only able to do that 1 document at a time by creating tab delimited text files (and only after exporting form data as a .txt file and saving the excel data as the same name).  Acrobat is pretty robust, so I assume there's a pretty easy solution here.  Anybody have any ideas?

  • Fillable Forms and Gathering responses

    I have created a form in Adobe lifecycle using nothing but subforms since I need expandable fields.  I use distribute but it is giving me the opition of emailing the form. I need to be able to post to form on our website and have people access the form for completion and when they hit submit the responses are sent to electronically.  Not sure how to do this.  I know I can't use Forms Central as if won't let me have the fields that expand based on the amount of text I put in.

    If you want help in creating a script to do what you want, then the Acrobat Scripting forum is the place to ask. If you wish to throw a large chunk of change at the problem, there are LiveCycle products that can probably do what you want. It will probably require tens of thousands of dollars, specialized IT staff and a Windows or Unix Server.

  • I lost my recovery cds that i made for this computer and need to recover it? where can i get disks?

    I guess this is my last ditch effor to fix this computer.  All HP computers I've ever had had a hidden partition from where I could recover the computer, but this one doesn't.  I think it's too old or something. It is a:
    Presario V5000 (But I think this website called it a V5306US)
    Windows XP
    Error messages are Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller in Slot 3 & 4 -
    At this time I cannot connect to the internet wired or wirelessly.  I'm hoping nuking it will fix it
    No changes were made before the error started happening.  I've been using it as a DVD player for a couple years now.
    Anyways, I'm just looking for the XP disks or if there's a way to get them or should I take the computer target shooting or maybe use it as a extra large coaster?
    Thanks anybody

    Hi,
    Generally, HP do not stock Recovery Discs for machines built before 2006, but they are available from a reliable source Here.
    Regarding your Avatar, when you've logged on to the HP Forum, expand Resources and Settings in the top right pane of the page and select User Settings.  Under the Search box, click Avatars and change your icon here.
