Inputting commas in a numerical form field

I downloaded NY State Tax Form IT-203. The numeric fields accept numbers but not commas. How do I enter commas? I am using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. Thanks.

You better use it the way it is. It's possible it will auto-format, and if
it doesn't that's probably how they want it to be.
If you start editing the file you're risking it being discarded, and in
some places it can even be considered an offense to mess around with
governmental documents.

Inputting Chinese text into PDF form fields

Hi there,
I'm trying to input Chinese text into an interactive PDF and although the properties for the form fields are set to Hiragino Sans GB, when inputting the text is appearing in English. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Staff have been migrated from Windows XP and now have Windows 7 on their PCs. They all now have new versions of Adobe Reader
(version 11.0.06). In some cases they now cannot insert or update variable data in fields in PDF forms. They are not using online PDFs -

Typing a comma in a numeric, currency field

Hello,
I have a Rate of Pay field that has the Pattern set as num{('$'z,zzz,zz9.99)}. However, if the user types a comma in the entry, the entry defaults to 0.00. How can I set the field to properly display the dollar amount regardless of whether the user types the comma or not?
Thanks,
MDawn

Okay,
Just tried it and see the issue. However if you just run with the Display pattern on the numericfield, it should automatically not allow the user into inout a comma. Is that what you are seeing?

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.

This free JavaScript-based tool for Acrobat is what you need: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/
The Typewriter tool creates a type of text box, so you'd select just that check box to flatten them.

In Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, how do I validate a form field so that it's numerical value is less than or

I have one numerical field named "B," and I need to validate it so that it is less than or equal to the value of another field named "A." I can't figure out how to do that!

OK, so the custom calculate script for field B could be something like:
(function () {
    // Get field values as strings
    var sA = getField("A").valueAsString;
    var sC = getField("C").valueAsString;
    var sD = getField("D").valueAsString;
    // Only perform the calculation if all fields are filled
    if (sA && sC && sD) {
        var sum = +sC + sD;
        event.value = sum;
        // Alert the user if the sum is more than A
        if (sum > +sA) {
            app.alert("Error message goes here");
    } else {
        // Blank this field if all fields are not filled in
        event.value = "";
Instead of (or in addition to) an app.alert popup, you could place this message in a read-only form field, and clear it if there is no error condition.

I have created numerous forms in Designer and for some reason, "Edit in Designer" from PDF, I cannot edit any of the fields in Design View.

Is it possible you accidentally put the fields on the master page?

Help... Populate pdf form fields with html form inputs.

I have a website that allows users to choose the pdf document they want and create. After selecting which pdf they want to create they are redirected to a web page with a html form. The html form has questions that corresponds with the the form fields of the pdf document the user selected. When submitted the code (ASP, PHP whatever is the easier) runs a script that populates the pdf document form fields. The user is then prompted if they want to save or open the document. The newly created pdfs and the user inputs do not need to be saved on the server.
I create the pdf templates using PDF 6.0 professional
Server can be windows or linux
I understand ASP a little but will use whatever is feasible
Purchasing a program is okay as long as its reasonable and is changeable by me and I have full control.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
John

Strip comma from a numeric field

Hi all,
Will you please help me providing sql statement to strip commas from a number/numeric field in the BI repository logical column? I do not want to use cast function to convert to character because we need to keep that field as numeric.
I could only find string expressions to remove commas. I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Thanks,Commas in a Numeric field, I could not understand it. It must be a VARCHAR column with only Numeric data, is it?
you can use something like
with data(col) as
select '10,000,000' from dual
select replace(col, ',') rep, translate(col, '1234567890,', '1234567890') tr
from data;Maybe, if you can post some example table and sample data, we might be able to help better.

Form field with comma delimited value list to cfc

I have a form that passes a field to an action page with a
comma delimited value.
For instance the field name is: Program_ID
value for program_ID is: 31, 32
I am able to treat this variable as a list and check its
length, and loop over the list prior to passing it to a cfc using
the attached code:
When I try and pass the variable as a string to a cfc and
invoke a query, cf no longer recognizes my var as a list.
Therefore the code attached does not function...
Is there a specific var type that will pass through as a list
and allow me to run the code block attached?
thanks
Craig

Ok answered my own question.. Here is the answer for those
who are interested...
initialize var for cfc in cfinvoke statement
<cfinvokeargument name="Program_ID"
value="#Form.Program_ID#">
pass argument to cfc as a string
<cfargument name="Program_ID" type="string"
required="true">
use listqualify to parse list in cfc and set new var
<cfset selectedProgramID =
ListQualify(Program_ID,"'",",","CHAR")>
use the new var in the following statement in sql code:
((Program_ID) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(selectedProgramID)#))
The following code handles a form field with a single value
or a comma delimited value.

Subtracting numerical fields in form fields

I am looking for a way to subtract a numerical field in one field from the other. On the form field, when calculate tab is chosen, there is no drop down for the (-) side of the equation.
Is there a way to do a simple Javascript code to do this task?
Thanks,
Donald

Try placing a minus symbol in front of the number it will subract from the number above it. I am looking to find a way of subtracting a number from another witout having to use that minus symbol. I need to "dummy" down all of my forms for the users. Anyone, anything?

Upload multiple files WITH correct pairs of form fields into Database

In my form page, I would like to allow 3 files upload and 3 corresponding text fields, so that the filename and text description can be saved in database table in correct pair. Like this:
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo1.jpg','happy day');
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo2.jpg','fire camp');
INSERT INTO table1 (filename,desc) VALUES('photo3.jpg','christmas night');
However, using the commons fileupload, http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/, I don't know how to reconstruct my codes so that I can acheieve this result.
if(item.isFormField()){
}else{
}I seems to be restricted from this structure.

When one hits the submit button - I then get a 404 page error.What is the apaches(?) error log saying? Mostly you get very useful information when looking into the error log!
In any case you may look at how you are Uploading Multiple Files with mod_plsql.

How do I add borders to the form fields in the checkout page of my BC shop?

I am setting up my Shop for my website www.myartscreative.com. So far, so good. I am testing out going through the steps of ordering a copy of my sketch book, adding the appropriate shipping, etc. However, I notice when testing the checkout page, most of the fields do not have a border around them which makes it hard to see where to fill in the pertinent info. How do I add a border or fill (or both) the form fields so my customer can easily see where to type in their information? Here is the link to my shop's "check out page".

Ok, got it! So, I kind of figured it out by going into the Develop tab in the BC Admin and going into the modulestylesheets.css and modifying that. Check the link above again and you will now see the borders around the input fields. Probably no big deal to you pro's out there, but I am a total newbie up to this point. Thanks again!

How do I allow a single symbol in numeric-only field?

Good morning all,
I could use a little help with this one. I am using Acrobat 10 today working with form-fields in a document.
Currently I have several fields where I have limited input to numbers only (max three digits) using the folowing script:
function triDigKS
{    // Get all that is currently in the field
    var val = AFMergeChange(event);
    // Reject entry if anythig but digits
    event.rc = AFExactMatch(/\d{0,3}/, val);
They have thrown me a curve on this one. They want to be able to dispay negative numbers by using the minus (or dash/hyphen) symbol as well.
so before the field would display any 3-digit number but nothing else. No dashes, dots or anything else. I am limited by the fact that they only want to allow this single symbol and no other as well as up to a three digit number like so (-300, -27, -1 etc).
Any help out there?
Steve

Actually, I figured it out…I was removing too much from the code you gave me originally. To clarify, I did need to get to where the field would accept a or nothing…but I think I have it sussed.
Thanks!

Mapping a parameter to the form field (OIM 11g)

Hello, people!
How can I get an information from a created form field?
In more details: I have to assign a manual creating of a resource to a concrete group of users. So I made a form that contains a field named "Admin Group", made a process for this form that contains a manual task "manual create user", in assignment tab of this task I'm using a task assignment adapter. This adapter has one input parameter - Group name using what I want to find a group key. So the problem is in mapping this parameter. I expected to find my "Admin Group" field and map to it, but i didn't find that. How can I get information from this field?
Regards
Anton Litvin

I think you have created Object Form. Are you seeing Object Data while mapping.
Create one process form. Populate Process Form Field using Data Flow under Process Definition.
While mapping you'll see Process data to map with your Admin Group.
Sorry don't know how they have handled in OIM 11g... Above is for 10g.
