Infopath 2013 Print Function

Hi Folks,
I need to understand Infopath Print functionality. It's a basic question, but please help me.
My Infoapth form has 2 views. View A and View B. I want Print version of both forms. I have created a separated print view for both forms Print_ViewA and Print _ViewB (I have removed Submit buttons and other buttons from print version). Now when users fills
View A , how he will be directed to Print the form? I mean should I give a separate print button and on clicking print button shold i redirect to print_viewA or what.
I need a basic understanding of print function.
Please suggest.

I have already gone through the link before. I did all the thing. Now what i want is a Print button on my View A. and when user clicks the Print button it should print the print version of my form.
Am I clear to explain the problem?

InfoPath 2013 - Rich Text box - Expand to show all text option not working

I have create an InfoPath form and created a view which will be used for printing. I have a rich text box in this print view and the scroll option for this rich text box is set to "Expand to show all text". However, it is not working and it doesn't
expand the size of the text box based on the content length.
same thing used to work in InfoPath 2010.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neelesh

Hi Wendy,
Here are the steps I have used:
1. On default view added a rich text box.
2. Created another view called Print and mapped it to the same Field which I added to default view
3. Set the Wrap text and Expand to show all text on both the Rich Text Box Properties - in default view and in Print
view. Also set the height of the rich text box to auto.
4. Set the print views as the print view for default view
5. Deployed the form to SharePoint Form Library
6. Opened the form in browser
7. Entered the content in the rich text box in default view. It expands well if I have much content
8. Clicked on Print preview and that opens up the print preview and it shows the rich text box only one line in height and with scroll bar
I missed to mention that it is a web browser enabled form and I am using InfoPath 2013 and SP 2013.
It does work fine in InfoPath client.
Thanks.

Read-only textbox and/or disable buttons in Infopath 2013

In a InfoPath 2013 custom list form, my requirement is to make textboxes read-only, disable buttons, and/or create new buttons so users can not update fields in a custom list once the user has updated data in the list. Basically after the user hits the 'save'
button so that the data is saved.
The requirement is not to set up custom permissions since my SharePoint administrator said I should find another option. This administrator said he does not see a reason for only an 'add' permission.
Thus can you tell me how to meet my requirements? Can you show me screen prints, pictures, or urls on how to solve the problem?

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to prevent users from editing the existing items.
There are two workarounds I can provide as below:
As the first workaround, you can remove Ribbon from SharePoint InfoPath List Form via modifying the OOTB settings of InfoPath Web Part.
Here is a link about more details, you can use it as a reference:
http://the-north.com/sharepoint/post/Remove-Ribbon-from-SharePoint-InfoPath-List-Form
As the second workaround, you can apply the CSS code below to your page, it will hide the “Edit Item” button in the Ribbon:
<style type="text/css">
#Ribbon\.ListItem\.Manage\.EditProperties-Large{display: none !important;}
</style>

InfoPath 2013 in SharePoint 2013

Our SharePoint 2013 is run on IE8 - 64 bit. On a site landing page, I had InfoPath 2013 built. There is field of rich text. When I tried to add text in this field, it said that the browser does not support the InfoPath rich text edit control."
Our SharePoint 2013 is run on Windows Server 2008 R2.
Also, couple weeks ago, I was able to edit and to design everything because I am site collection admin, later on, I could not do anything. It is said "an error has occurred with the data fetch."
On the other hand, when I log into server, I was able to edit and design from there. IE version browser in server is IE9- 32 bit.
Can anyone tell me what is going on?

From this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx
Some functionality in SharePoint 2013 requires ActiveX controls. This produces limitations on browsers which do not support ActiveX. Currently only 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer support this functionality. All other browsers have the following limitations.
InfoPath with ActiveX / 64 bit is not mentioned there, but in general only the 32 bit version of IE (and Office in general) should be used with SharePoint.

Auto Numbering in InfoPath 2013

Hello,
I am brand new to InfoPath. I was trying to follow some videos and tutorials I found on auto-numbering a field in a form. I had a hard time following because it seems there are slight nuances between versions, and 2013 acts and looks different
than the tutorials I found. For instance when assigning a value to a field like max(@ID) + 1, whenever I use the @ sign I get an error in the formula. Does anyone have a complete InfoPath 2013 'how to' create an auto-number
field on a form? Thanks

Hi,
Depend your description, you want to get some information about how to create an auto-number field via InfoPath 2013.
The steps below about how to create an auto-number field are that I have operated in my InfoPath 2013, and you can follow it：
Create a custom list, named "Auto".
Create a column in that list, type number, named "Auto No.".
Clicked List -> Customize Form and edit default form in InfoPath.
Clicked Data -> Data Connections -> Add in InfoPath.
In "Data Connection Wizard", set New Connection to Receive Data -> SharePoint library or list -> set URL of my "Auto" list -> only select ID column -> checked "Automatically retrieve data when form is opened"
In InfoPath design view, right click "Auto No." text box -> Properties -> Default Value -> fX button -> Insert Function -> Math -> Max -> OK -> double clicke on the formula to select field -> Show advanced view ->
in "Fields" drop-down choose secondary data source (named as my "Auto" list) -> selecte 'ID' node in 'dataFields' -> OK -> back in formula type '+ 100' (so the whole formula is like: 'max(ID) + 100')
Publish it to SharePoint list.
Here are the links about the details of creating an auto-number field, and you can take a look：

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

Infopath 2013 SOAP Web Service Data Connection - Error: The file is not a valid XML file

Here are the steps to replicate the issue I’m having when adding lists.asmx or any other SharePoint web service in InfoPath 2013. This web service opens fine in the browser from my desktop. My account is a farm administrator and is added to the
web application’s User Policy. I can use these services just fine using Nintex 2013 Workflow.
Open InfoPath Designer 2013.
Select Blank Form and click Design Form button.
Click “Data” tab.
Click “From Web Service” and select “From SOAP Web Service”
Enter https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL for the web service definition.
Click Next.
Windows Security window pops up.
Enter a credential. I tried both my account and the farm account. My account is a farm admin and is added to the web application’s User Policy with Full Control.
Click OK. It prompts for credential multiple times.
I get below this error messages:
Sorry, we couldn't open https://mysiteurl.com/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
InfoPath cannot find or cannot access the specified Web Service description.
The file is not a valid XML file.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
We have a project that is in need of these services using InfoPath so any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Brian_TX,
For your issue, try to the following methods:
Change your service binding in web.config to:binding="basicHttpBinding". It seems in VS it defaults to wsHttpBinding.
Replace all instances of "parameters" from the web service wsdl with the name "parameter"
There are some similar articles about the issue, you can have a look at them:

How do I use infopath 2013 with visual studio 2013 to modify forms with code?

Dear all,
I am using sharepoint online and infopath 2013, I wonder how do I edit infopath 2013 forms with visual studio? When I try to edit form code it says I need visual studio 2012 and some other tools, I installed them and visual studio 2013, I wonder how
do I get rid of the message and start coding? Can someone provide a detailed procedure of doing so? I am having trouble with creating multiple items with single infopath form with repeating table on sharepoint online. Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create InfoPath form with code using Visual Studio.
More information about develop InfoPath form with Visual Studio:

The print function on websites doesn't work in Firefox.

I want to print information from a certain website by selecting the Print View button. That works. But when I select the Print function, nothing happens. In other words, Firefox has stopped printing from websites. Other print functions (such as Word 2007) work just fine.

Same problem, could not print web page. Deleted HP Smart Web Print program. Print function worked after removal. Firefox 4 Beta 8

Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

I can no longer print off a web page (eg Flight booking confirmation). Other printer functions are OK. Any ideas?

My printer will no longer print off web-pages, either from the tool bar command or from the "print page" command. This has only just happened and seeems to have followed a MS up-date, but can't be sure.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
All other printer functions work OK.
Many thanks.

My printer is HP Photosmart C4650 Series. I can print from everything but the Web. I don't get an error message or anything it just will not print.
I'm using Windows 7, it had been doing fine than it just decided to quit printing from the web.

Cannot print with a Samsung ML2160 printer (mono laser) and Pages. Print function doesn't work, only drag and drop in printer's queue

Hello,
I just purchased a Samsung ML2160 printer and it doesn't work with nor my Pages program, nor the Preview (to print PDF). No matter the way I tried, the Print function doesn't work and I cannot neither print or even enter the printer preferrences menu! My MacBook Pro has worked before with other printers, but now with the Samsung it doesn't work at all... Though, if I drag and drop a document, jpg, pdf in the printer queue, it prints just fine, but that method gives me absolutely no freedom to the printing... Could it be something from the Computer -> Machintosh HD -> Library -> Printers? Because a friend of mine was recently trying to save me some disk space, and therefore erasing part of the HP printer (to remove the previous printer I owned)...
If anyone has any idea, that would be much appreciated
Thank you in advance

Do the sensible thing, as you say neither Preview nor Pages print, try other programs eg TextEdit. If none of them print then it is a System problem and very likely the printer drivers are AWOL or were never installed.
Go to Samsung's website and download their software for the Mac:

Infopath 2013 - Values are not appearing in a drop down field referencing site column which uses lookup in custom list

I have a master custom list that has a set of site columns. For each site column there is a lookup to a custom list with reference data. When I edit the list in data entry view all values in drop down fields work fine, but when I customize the form for
the master list, no data appears in the drop down fields. I can change the data binding on the form so it references the the correct data and when I preview the form it works. But when I publish it, no data is available in these drop down fields.

Hi shakonarson,
According to your description, I try to reproduce your scenario but the lookup field works fine.
When we customize the form for the list in the InfoPath 2013 , it is by design that the Drop-Down List Box control cannot display its value.
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
Go to lookup List Box on your form in InfoPath 2013 , right click it and choose “Drop-Down List Properties” from the bottom of your field menu.
Make Sure you select “Get choices from an external data source” and correct Data source.
Make Sure the Xpath of Entries is “d:SharePointListItem_RW” under the dataFields.
Here is a good blog for sorting lookup column DropDown by customizing your list form with InfoPath you can have a look:
Sort SharePoint lookup column Dropdown by customizing your list form
with InfoPath
Hope this helps!

Access Denied Using REST in SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013 environment

So here is the story. I developed a simple application in InfoPath 2013 (saving as InfoPath 2010) and published to a SharePoint 2010 server.
A major component to my form is the use of REST to query a SharePoint list. Everything works fine and dandy through the web browser within the SharePoint 2010 environment. Now that I have moved the source list to SharePoint 2013, saved the form as InfoPath
2013, reset the REST data connection, and published to SharePoint 2013, I get the following message on the Form Load.
Warning
An error occurred querying a data source.
Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.
