Is it possible to create expandable fields in an interactive PDF? (not dropdown menus)

Need to design an interactive PDF that has expandable fields for respondents to include more that one group of answers. Specifically, they will be asked to list all previous employment. Some respondents may have had 10 relevant positions. The form will get too long if I create fields for 10 responses. Hoping to find a way that fields will expand if a respondent needs them.

Not really possible with PDF forms, unless you create an entire page
dedicated to this and allow the user to spawn new copies of it as needed.

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.
To download Adobe Reader

Creating Expandable fields in Abobe Acrobat 9.0 professional

Hello,
I am in the process of converting a standard PDF file to a interactive one. The problem I am having is that some of the fields need to be expandable to accommodate needs of the application. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 to convert the standard form into a PDF file to PDF interactive file.
I have looked in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Professional but I have not been able to find any documentation on how to expand the fields in the 9.0 Professional version.
Can you tell me if the LiveCycle Designer has the ability to expand fields and if so how can I set up the document to create the expanded fields. I have reviewed the help documents but it not very clear as to how to go about accomplishing this task.
I have attache the form that I like to expand.
I would really appreciate some guidance in this area
Thank you for your time
Gary

Hi,
Yes, LC has expandaple fields.
First you have to make your field multiline
Second - make it expand:
But you shaould remember tha field will be expanded only after you type smth in it and lost focus.

How do I create visible field labels in a pdf form that can be overwritten by text? I have tried add

I am creating a very straight forward fillable form and want to add a description of each field that can be visible to the user, but goes away when the person enters the appropriate data in the field. I have tried to suggested custom scripts. The script command were: if (!event.value) event.value = event.target.name; and
if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}. Both allow the lables to be visible but neither allow the user to either replace the label with the relevant information and if it does, then the replacing data does not print/remain viewable.
I am confident this is doable as I have seen forms that say something like "add your name here" and when you enter the data that field label is replaced with the information I enter.

Hi George,
I have tried this. What I get is a field label, and I can type into the field, but the label does not go away and the page prints blank. Should I try: if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.Print;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}, removing the .noPrint?
You have no idea how frustrating it is to try this and have such a simple function not work. Is there anothe script I can try?

How do you create a non linear InDesign Interactive PDF modelled on having a 'home screen' from which you navigate?

I am trying to create an interactive presentation for a seminar the institute I work for hosted. I want to have a 'home screen' in which you can get a digest of what happened and then the viewer can subsequently view any of the 6 presentations that happened at the event (six icons will be on the 'homescreen' as well). After they are done viewing, lets say presentation 1, they press a home button and return to the original screen to view the rest if they so wish. Is this possible as an interactive PDF? If not any suggestions on how I go about creating it? Thank you!

You can do it with hyperlinks, link to: page then export to interactive pdf.
Here is a test:

Programmatically filling in fields of an interactive PDF form from a database

I have a web app written in Grails, but it doesn't matter. I ask is there possible way to send the data from database into the the third party interactive PDF form? If yes, what tools from Adobe I would need to make this kind of web app plugin? Is it possible to view Javascript code of once made PDF?

You can simply create an FDF or XFDF file and return that to the browser.

Are there any tutorials on how to create a folio to an interactive pdf?

Is this feature possible at the moment? If yes, would appreciate exact how-to steps. Thanks in advance.

The interactivity in a folio and that of an interactive PDF only overlap
in very small areas. There is no way to convert a folio to PDF.

How do I create a button in an interactive PDF, which will forward the PDF via email?

Hi,
So, I have an interactive pdf, with a share button. This button goes to the correct mail program and fills in the subject field.
But I can't find out how you can add the pdf as an attachment in that e-mail.
Thanks
Indy

Hey vanhaelst,
You need to have Adobe Acrobat/Reader to attach PDF as an email attachment.
Select 'Send file as email attachment' icon from the toolbar (as shown below):
Hope this helps.

Is it possible to create bidirectional multiselect tables? Help.

Hey everyone (once again since you are in fact great in helping me out),
I was wondering if it would be possible to create bidirectional multiselect tables to interact to each other, like the behaviour qlikview has, since thats my goal.
Imagine that i have 3 tables in my schema/database:
Departments (from HR schema), with the following attributes: department_id (primary key), department_name, manager_id, location_id;
Salary_by_job (created for this purpose), with the following attributes: job_id (primary key), department_id, salary, min_salary, max_salary;
Employees (from HR schema), with the following attributes: employee_id,......, job_id, salary, manager_id, department_id
Can it be possible to creat bidirectional multiselect tables?
Like the following:
- I click on a department, it shows the data relevant to that department in the salary_by_job table and in the employees table.
And after clicking that, i could click on one employee and the department table would look the same (because its a employee from the same department) but the salary_by_job would only show the information regarding the job_id from that employee.
I'll try to show it from text in here:
Department (selected row = 1) = Department of Information (which has 3 employees)
Employees = X (with the job_id = admin), Y (with the job_id = manager) and Z (with the job_id = intern)
Salary_by_job = Admin, with data bla bla bla, Manager, with the data bla bla bla and Intern, with the data bla bla bla
And next i would click on the Employee X and the result would be:
Department (selected row = 1) = Department of Information (which has 3 employees)
Employees = X (with the job_id = admin)
Salary_by_job = Admin, with data bla bla bla
Can something like that be done? If so, how?
I'm thinking of doing that with bindings attached to each table and having the bindings go back and forth.
If someone has a idea of how to do this, please respond, it may be usefull.
Thanks so much for all the help. Have a wonderfull day!
Regards,
Frederico Barracha.
BTW, i'm using jdeveloper 12.1.2.0.0
Mensagem editada por: FredericoSB

FredericoSB,
Have you tried adding a setPropertyListener for the tables and change the collectionModel for the 3rd table accordingly?
Ex : Assume you have three tables, Parent (VL)->Child (VL)->GrandChild. There is a relation between Parent (VL)->GrandChild.
Now, you can have tree bindings for both the GrandChilds (say GrandChildViaParent and GrandChildViaChild).
Your jspx could be something like
<af:table id="parent" value="#{bindings.Parent.collectionModel}"...... />
<af:table id="child" value="#{bindings.Child.collectionModel}"...../>
<af:table id="grandchild" value="#{bindings.GrandChild.collectionModel}" ..../>
If all your tables are read-only, then you could change this to something like
<af:table id="parent" value="#{bindings.Parent.collectionModel}"...... >
<af:setPropertyListener from="Parent" to="#{viewScope.tableName}" type="selection"/>
</af:table>
<af:table id="child" value="#{bindings.Child.collectionModel}".....>
<af:setPropertyListener from="Child" to="#{viewScope.tableName}" type="selection"/>
</af:table>
<af:table id="grandchild" partialTriggers="parent child" value="#{viewScope.tableName=='Parent'?bindings.GrandChildViaParent.collectionModel:bindings.GrandChildViaChild.collectionModel}" ..../>
This is just a sample. You could implement the same for all the properties in the grandchild table as EL to make it editable as well.
This is without coding. If you care to code a bit, you could use a Dynamic Table in place and bind the value accordingly in each of the table's selectionListener (which would be a neat approach)

Generate Dynamic fields in an Interactive Form

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to generate dynamic fields in an Interactive Forms ?
Best regards,
A.Henry

Hi,
Yes it can be implemented by using scripts.
Here you can do the hide and visible things and once the field is binded in the interactive form that do not change.
We can utilize the context node elements only once we can put into interactiveform only . we can not use as dynamically as Context attributes.
What you are exactly looking for?
Thanks,
Lohi.

Hi,

I looked in the CL_SRM_XML_REC_MODEL but every methode I used gave me no results with the special user.
Regards and thanks for every beginning
Fanninger Thomas

Hi,
here an example.
When I use the method CL_SRM_XML_REC_INSTANCE->IF_SRM_XML_POID~GET_ALL( POID_TAB COUNT_USER_REST COUNT_POID_AUTH ).
When I used the user with no right for viewing the invisible nodes I get no elements in the tabelle POID_TAB and 38 in the value COUNT_USER_REST.
So did any one know a solution you can I create a nodes and change the restriction for the new node with the normal user?
