Indesign forms and combo boxes
Hey,
I have created an interactive document which is working perfectly, however I just need to clarify a couple of things.
• Combo boxes - can I change the actual appearance of these? Like colour, size of drop down arrow etc? I know I can change the fonts/size through Acrobat.
• Submit button - I have this so it sends the form to an email address, but the document is 4mb. Is there a way thet this submit form button ONLY submits the form, not the whole document?
Cheers
Go to edit forms in Acrobat and use a lot of options there.

Radio Button and combo box in Pdf Report.
Hi,
I have to make a PDF report with text box,radio buttons and combo boxes.
The data in the text box will populate from the data base table.
Similarly the radion button will enable the particular radio button from a set of available radion buttons as per the value from the database.
Same with combo boxes.
The report putput should come in PDF.
ThanksHi,
The report sud be pdf output with details like name of person showing in textbox ,then there will be list of radio buttons out of which particular radio button will be checked as per the option for that particular person in the database.same with combox with for example A,B,C option from the look up is coming but it will be showing the option as per the name of person.We can take the name of person as the primary key.
The Problem with input controls is that they can be used to filter the report as radio buttons and combo box but they can't be sown in the report itself. -
Looking for any insight as to what might be going on. Would appreciate any info if anyone knows about this or similar problems..
I have a panel with 18 children - text and combo boxes - that does not repaing correctly in IE when scrolling vertically. The 18 children do not fit in the panel, so a vertical scroll bar appears. The scroll works perfectly when i run through FireFox. But it does not work in IE in this case. The child controls appear as painted over parts of other controls.
thx.Wow ... wow... Magic. Your last suggestion of removing the wmode attribute worked. The page looks great. The scroll works flawlessly where before it mangled the child controls on the page making it look like a hurricane scene.
The html was originally set with wmode as "opaque". I tried changing it to "transparent" after your first response, but this made no difference. What fixed the problem was removing the wmode attribute altogether.
We've built a rather large application. Is there anything we need to be aware of, or anything we need to look out for by removing the wmode setting?
Thanks much. -
Push Button , Label and combo box
Hi Experts,
Currently facing a problem , please guide.
I have two push buttons say A and B and one combo box.
I am using Combo box with source data as filtered row options.
What I want to accomplish is when push button A is clicked then my combo box should have different souce of data say sheet 1 in excel and when Push button B is clicked then the same combo box should have source data from sheet 2 from the same excel.
I mean dynamic selection of source data and then destination data by using combo boxed.
is it possible ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
AnjnaHi,
Use 2 combo boxs CB1 n CB 2.
CB1 : source form sheet1
CB2:Source from sheet 2
when push button A is selected set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 1
when push button B is selected set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 2.
Case 2:
Insted of using 2 push buttons you can use a radio butoon and select the lables A or B so that these two combo box components dnt appear at once
Take a radio button component and map lables as A and B
under behaviour tab: >Insert selected item:>mapp it with a blank cell say Sheet3!$G$4
if radio button selection is A then set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 1
if radio button selection is b then set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 2
formula cells:
take a blak cell say Sheet3!$H$7 and write formula =IF(Sheet3!$G$4="A","",first label of combo box 2)
take a blak cell say Sheet3!$H$8 and write formula =IF(Sheet3!$G$4="B","",first label of combo box 1)
Combo box 1 :Behaviour tab-->Selected item :Sheet3!$H$7
Combo box 1 :Behaviour tab-->Selected item :Sheet3!$H$8
check if this suits ur req ...

Spaces always sends to the same Desktop, drop-lists and combo boxes broken
I have a new behavior that has just started. When I click on the Spaces icon on my dock - it has several weird behaviors. First, no matter what I click on - it will only send me to the upper right desktop. Second, when I move the mouse while using spaces - the animation flickers very strangely. Third, the animation when Spaces opens and closes is VERY VERY slow and it takes several seconds between clicking the Spaces icon in the dock to when the animation is complete and you can select a desktop.
Possibly related (because it started at the same time) all of the auto-complete menus (i.e. - those menus that help you type faster when you enter text into HTML forms etc.) are now un-usable. They flicker in and out so quickly that I cannot click on them. Ditto for any sort of combo-box or drop list control in any application.
Has anyone else started experiencing this problem?

A. System wide freak-outs can also be caused by bad or duplicate fonts installed or important fonts missing. Open Font Book and see if any fonts have a dot next to them. If you move or change fonts that are necessary for apps you get many problems.Here is a list of necessary fonts. The system fonts will not allow you to move them so it probably is not one of them. You can also try cleaning the system and font caches using Onyx.
B. Incomplete upgrades can leave your system in a mess. It would be easier to archive and install then to try and figure out what pieces you are missing.
C. I would also suspect any third party utilities you have installed, especially in the System Preferences or that activate on start up.
System Prefs:
• Out of date utilities for your third party mouse. Try updating the utility.
• Haxies for the system- try turning them off.
D. Antivirus programs often cause more harm then good. Do you have any installed? On Windows machine I have used when your subscription expires the software cripples your system. The solution is to completely remove it or renew your subscription.
E. If you are using a wireless mouse check the batteries.

Newb deserving assistance with Adobe Javascript (check boxes and combo boxes)
Hi, I'm a newb when it comes to javascript (using adobe acrobat pro 6.0).
I am working on a form that will allow me to autofill checkboxes based off of information chosen. Ideally, I would like to have a selection from a combo box autofill/auto checkmark check boxes. Alternatively, I would be willing to just have different selections presented with check boxes that when filled, would auto checkmark other check boxes (I know how to do this one, but I am not sure how to clear the check boxes if the initial one is unchecked).
I have the action button tied to the mouse up function. This just errors out.
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
Citrix.checkThisBox = false
Appro.checkThisBox = false
SAS.checkThisBox = false
I have this that works, but I don't know how to clear the buttons when "Associate" is unchecked.
if(this.getField("Associate").isBoxChecked(0));
this.getField("Citrix").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("Appro").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("SAS").checkThisBox(0, true);
The other way I was working on it, was to use a combo box to autofill/checkmark check boxes. But this code doesn't work either.
function calculateTextField()
// get the value of the combo box
var comboValue = this.getField("Select").value;
// get the state of the checkbox
var isChecked = (this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
var textFieldValue = "";
console.println(comboValue);
if (isChecked)
if (comboValue == 0)
textFieldValue = "";
if (comboValue == "Associate")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Specialist")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Team Leader")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
textFieldValue = "";
this.getField("Select").value = textFieldValue;
Can anyone please assist me with this?
Thanks,
ChrisHi Gene,
Thank you for the response. Are you saying that my initial formula should look more like this; ?
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
if (event.target.value=="Off")
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
Thanks,

Need help with xml and combo boxes
Basically what im doing is a ui for a electronic book.
The book is broken into 3 parts and each part has its own set
of chapters.
My xml schema is pasted below.
And what i would like is to have two comboBoxes .
The first one would list the names of the parts available,
ie.. Part I, Part II, Part III.
the Second one would list the chapters avalable under that
part. For example, If Part i, is sected then the secodn combo box
would list chapter 1-5, while if the second part is selected, the
second combo box would list chapters 6-10.
Im using flash 8 pro, and the xmlconnector and comboboxes.
Maybe there is an easier way. PLEASE HALLP! This is driving me
nuts.
XML Schema:Hi
I have just done this for another guy in this forum, I can
send you an example using UI Components - 3 Comboboxes each shows
the sub-options of its parent, one more than what you want. The
secret is in the construct of the XML file and how this creates the
correct Schema for binding.
Post me an email address and I can send you the files. -
Hi guys,
I need to add a actionscript and php code to the attached
codes. As you can see I already have the codes for the name, email
address, message etc...what I need is how to write the codes for
these six combo boxes:
Arrival Date: Day, Month, Year
Departure Date: Day, Month, Yearagain, you assign a variable. the selected radiobutton's data and/or label isn't going to magically be sent to the php file.
for example, if you have sendLV and receiveLV loadvars instances, you can use:
sendLV.rbData=yourradiogroup.selection.data;
sendLV.yourothervariables=yourothervariables;
sendLV.sendAndLoad("yourphp.php",receiveLV,"POST"); -

ModifyScript, Prompt and Combo Boxes (SSIS)
Hi,
I am trying to populate values into a Combo Box through the ModifyScript
Prompt() command: However I don't seem to be able to populate the combo box with more than 3 possible values, using the 3 available parameters. If I try and use Array Syntax, the values don't get split out.
Here's an example of what I mean by Array Syntax:
Prompt("ComboBox","Here are some values to Choose From",,{A,B,C,D},,,)
Here is the result; Only 1 available value {A,B,C,D}
If I omit the {} then it places the values in the available Parameter slots (upto 3), but I need more than just 3 available values for the user to choose from.
Can anyone move my cloud????
ThanksYes, that is the way to do it, just don't forget to addChild the mclip as well... here's a quick example using the built-in Tween class...
import fl.transitions.Tween;
var mclip:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
mclip.addChild(aComboBox)
mclip.addChild(aComboBox2)
mclip.addChild(aComboBox3)
addChild(mclip);
var tw:Tween = new Tween(mclip, "x", null, mclip.x, mclip.x+200, 1, true); -
I am working in access 2013 to update a database first created in Access 2003. It has been saved as an accdb but I have the same problem in earlier versions.
I have a Tab Control subform in my MainDataEntry form which has 5 different tabs. Each Tab has its own set of text boxes and combo boxes for data entry. At the top of the MainDataEntry form there is a Text box [Text393], which has a drop down with
the 5 TAB names, [Mobile Device],[Computer],[Loose Media],[Network] and [Original Device]. When I select one of these values in the Text box, I would like to automatically set focus on the first Textbox or ComboBox inside the corresponding TAB.
I have tried to do this using the MacroBuilder inside the "After Update" Property for the Text or Combo box that is on the MainDataEntry Form using "If" and "Else If" statements for the "GoToControl" action, however
I seem to be able to only get one Tab to work. I have tried several different variations of this, putting the If statement first and the action argument second...putting all arguments inside a group, or not grouped....nothing seems to work. What am I
doing wrong?
EXAMPLE:
If [Text393]=[Mobile Device] Then
GoToControl
Control Name Combo471
Else If [Text393]=[Computer] Then
GoToControl
Control Name Bios_Date
Else If [Text393]=[Loose Media] Then
GoToControl
Control Name Combo659
Else If [Text393]=[Network] Then
GoToControl
Control Name User Name
Else If [Text393]=[Original Device] Then
GoToControl
Control Name Combo814
End IfIn the Macro Builder's AfterUpdate event for [Text393]:
GoTo Control
Control Name =Forms!MainDataEntry.Controls(Text393.Value).Name
To ensure that the first control on each tab receives the focus, set that control's Tab Index property to zero (0). -
How to get the current selected value of a combo box or a option button?
Hello All,
I want to catch the current selected value of a combo box and also of a option button and want save it into different variables in my code. These option button and combo box are in a SAP business one form which I have created through VB dot.net coding.
But I don't know how to do that, can any one send any example code for this.
Regards,
Sudeshna.Hi Sudesha,
If you want to get the selected values you can do it as follows: The Combo Box value you can get from the combo box. If you want to get it on the change event, you must make sure that you check when BeforeAction = False. If you want to get an Option Button value you should check the value in the data source attached to the option button.
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
Dim oCombo As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
Dim oData As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
oForm = oApplication.Forms.Item("MyForm")
oCombo = oForm.Items.Item("myComboUID")
oApplication.MessageBox(oCombo.Selected.Value)
oData = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("MyDataSourceName")
oApplication.MessageBox(oData.ValueEx)
Hope it helps,

"Paste" problem in Combo box...
I have a number of forms with combo boxes in them. These Combo Boxes contain addresses. I want to "add" and "item" to the list.
When I try, it will only let me phsically type the addess into the add item box!
I have a dozen forms I need to add the exact same address to. PLEASE tell me this is some kind of sick joke that you cannot use a *basic* windows convention to "paste" into an input box!!!??? Please tell me that I am missing something very basic here. Adobe was supposed to *save* time, not waste it!
This problem is also compunded by the fact that there is no option to center items entered into the form from the drop-down list! So I have to manually add spaces to get it close to centered. C'mon guys.... where is the justification optin for this?
HELP!OK, there is a first time for everything....
Seems the computers in question have a little utility installed called "Pure Text". I have used this with no compatibility problems - until now. What it does is provide a key-stroke method for cuting and pasting only the text - so it strips out all formatting.
For whatever reason, this utility does not work with Actobat Standard 9. As soon as I exit the utility (it loads on boot), then pasting works just fine.
I have already e-mailed the Author.
Double checked the "appearance" tab - no alignment options there.
Live & learn! Now it's getting close to lunch... where are those crows... -
Hi there,
I have been searching for the answer for this question.
I am trying to write JavaScript for the following situation. If my check box is selected then the values of combo box 1, combo box 2, and combo box 3, will all read "N/A". My fields in each combo box is " " "yes" "no" and "N/A" If someone could help me out with this answer that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.Hi
You need to use following Javascript code in Acrobat form to achieve your requirement.
if((this.getField("CheckBox1").isBoxChecked(0)))
this.getField("Dropdown1").value = "N/A";
this.getField("Dropdown2").value = "N/A";
this.getField("Dropdown3").value = "N/A";
if((!this.getField("CheckBox1").isBoxChecked(0)))
this.getField("Dropdown1").value = " ";
this.getField("Dropdown2").value = " ";
this.getField("Dropdown3").value = " ";
Please see attached PDF for reference.
