Is it possible to make a button that adds extra pages?

I'm trying to make a form that consists of three pages. However, I would like to have a button at the bottom of page 2 that can be used to duplicate page 2 as a continuation sheet - including the same button, which could then be used to create a 3rd copy as another continuation sheet if needed, and so on.
I can't think of a way of doing it. Even if I managed to duplicate the page, the new copy would be pre-populated because the fields would have the same names. Therefore I'm now wondering if it's possible to make a button that would effectively unhide entire pages to achieve the same thing. Then I could perhaps create the form with nine copies of page 2, and unhide them one at a time based on use of the button. Again though, I'm not sure that's possible, and even if it is it would be pretty inelegant.
Anyone have any bright ideas or alternative approaches I might not have considered?

It is possible to do using the templates feature. If it needs to work with Reader, the only version that supports it without having to apply usage rights with LiveCycle Reader Extensions ($$$$) is Reader 11, so all of your Reader users would have to update to the latest version.
Templates can be spawned so that the fields are automatically renamed, avoiding the issue you mentioned.

Is it possible to make a button with multiple paths?

Hello and good day Everyone
I want to make a flash game with a map leading to various places for example school or beach like this http://www.yotreat.com/sites/default/files/190-160_1286.jpg
if the player goes to the school she will find the teacher, and if the player goes to the beach se will find the coach.
How can I make the player (for example) talks to the teacher at school, returns to the main map, and goes to the beach to talk with the coach, yet if she goes to the school again, the dialogue with the teacher won't be the same with first dialogue?
=>>> Is it possible to make a button with different paths to go? As if you've watched frame A, then you push the same button again it will take you to frame B??? <<<=
Sorry for my confusing description... I hope you get the idea >,<
Im so desperate... I've been searching for articles about this since yesterday and I still can't find one to solve this problem of mine.
Making games is my dream... I've made some very simple games, but I want to try a new level of difficulty
Please help me? (>o<

Thank you for the advice, sir Ned Murphy!
Yes, I try to use variables now, but face another problem with it... would you please tell me what's wrong with my script?
Here, in label: "School" I type:
on (release) {
if (point = 0){
gotoAndStop("dialogue1");
else if (point = 10){
gotoAndStop("dialogue2");
else {
gotoAndStop("dialogue3");
(it's only a testing, so I only use these 4 labels)
and in label: "dialogue1", "dialogue2",and "dialogue3" I type:
on (release) {point += 10;}
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("school");
The result when I test movie:
1. At "School" (shows point=0), I click the button,
2. then occurs "dialogue2" (shows point=10), I click the button,
3. then back at "school" (shows point=20), I click the button,
4. then occurs "dialogue2" again (shows point=10)
even the first shot is wrong
point=0 should be the entrance to "dialogue1", but all I can get is "dialogue2"...
Please tell me what's wrong with my script, sir Ned Murphy,
Thank you very much

How can I make a button that on press the object appears and on second press the object to disappear

Hello,
I'm quite new to flash programing, and I don't know how can I make a button that will make the object appear and disappear.Till now I have this code for the appear:
on (press)
    _root.top1.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.topp.gotoAndStop(2);
    _root.mm1.gotoAndStop(2);
          _root.m1.gotoAndStop(2);
but from here I'm stuck.
Thank you for your help

What you can do is use the _visible property of the object to make it appear and disappear, or more correctly, use the opoosite of the _visible property. You should not put code "on" objects, keep it in the timeline.
If "object" is the instance name of the object you want to toggle, then in the timeline code you can use...
object._visible = false; // start with the object being invisible
yourButtonName.onRelease = function(){
    object._visible = !object._visible;
That one line in the function sets the object's _visible property to be the opposite of what it currently is.

Is it possible to have a button that will insert a table row rather than add it to the end?

I have an add row button that works correctly using addinstance, but I would like to have the add row button at the end of each row so a user could insert a row into the middle of existing/fiilled out rows. Is this possible? I would like to be able to do this using Formcalc as that is what all of my scripting in the form currently is.

Hi,
Yes, it is possible, but in effect what the script does is add a new row at the end of the table AND then move the row up to the approrpiate position.
See the examples here: http://assure.ly/gk8Q7a. Table 5 is a Table object, whereas Table 6 is built using subforms. In both cases the Index number is a button, that adds a row below the existing one clicked.
See does that help,
Niall

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCP, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work).

Is it possible to make is so that, immediately after I import a new clip into FCPX, the file is automatically selected in the Event Library? (Similar to how After Effects and Premiere work). Right now, after I import a new file, I have to then go searching for it amid all the other files in my project. It would be extremely helpful if the file I just imported was already highlighted and selected after import, making it instantly "locatable" and ready to go.

in a perfect world, you do know the recording date, and you simply scroll to that date.
in a very perfect world, all your other imports are already tagged, so just have to create a smart list 'unrated' ...
(I know those messy Events… a friend of mine constantly ignores my advice to check the time/date on his camera; on every battery swap, the cam creates a very erratic timestamp ... his actual recordings are listed as made in "2004" or in "2020" .... )

AS2 How to make a button that moves every two seconds

How can I make a button that moves every two seconds by itself in ActionScript2?
At the moment, I have to use the on(press) command, but what I really need is for the button to be able to move randomly by itself every two seconds. For example:
(insert the code here) {
bc1._x = random(250)
bc1._y = random(250)
Thanks!

You can use the setInterval function to have a function repeated for specific time intervals. Here is a link to a tutorial that explains how to use it...

I need to create a button that add "1" to a number box in "numbers" program

hi
I making an inventory list that often being change.
I want to create a button that "add 1" and a button that "reduce 1" so i can adjust it faster
how can i do it ?
thanks

Hi Yaniv,
With a single Stepper, I can't see how you can make it refer to different cells in your *locked* inventory.
Maybe this will work. Old Inventory (2012), then a mirror table with Steppers for every cell, then New Inventory (2013) with formulas to add or subtract Stepper values. Old and New inventories are locked. Stepper Table is not locked. That is where you enter the changes.
Formula in B2 of the 2013 Inventory is
=Inventory 30 June 2012 :: B2+Add or subtract :: B2
Where the Stepper Table is called "Add or Subtract".
Fill Down and Right.
Regards,
Ian

How do you enable 'Create Content' button on 'Add Content' page?

How do you enable ‘Create Content’ button on ‘Add Content’ page?
There is new functionality to a ‘Layout’ type personalization page like ‘Sales Dashboard’.
Bug 4503123 INCONSISTENT WAY OF ADDING USER-DEFINED REGIONS ON WYSIWYG PAGE:
There’s no way to add custom content to a configurable page.
Add a “Create Content” button and let the user create a piece of content that extends to a region he creates.
It says: Fixed->11.5.10.3CU
In Oracle® Application Framework Personalization Guide Release 11i Part No. B25439-02 it says:
p 4-5
If you personalize a non-configurable page (a page that does not have the necessary metadata to personalize its layout) or when you run your application in Accessibility mode (profile option Self Service Accessibility Features (ICX_ACCESSIBILITY_FEATURES) is set to Standard Accessibility), you will not see the Page Layout Personalization page, as shown below. Instead, you will see the Page Hierarchy Personalization page, page 4-12, where you can perform the same personalization functions, using a descriptive tabular user interface.
It tried this and can’t get it to display.
Has anyone run accross this before?

user587952,
Can you describe your issue in detail forgetting those references for the time being. What exactly are you trying to do?
Check this from the dev guide:
In order to be able to take full advantage of page layout personalization capabilities, it is important when you create your configurable page, to use flexibleLayout and flexibleContent regions at all levels when you create the page hierarchy structure under your page layout region. In Oracle Applications, this is required, as it is the coding standard.

Assuming the pdf is contained in the application folder when the app is then compiled? Is the pdf contained in the app, or does it get installed somewhere?
Sure, you can create an app that only opens up a PDF. The usual place for that kind of stuff is in the application's bundle, which Xcode will do if you add the PDF to your project.

Is it possible to make a forum that has pre-filled text?

I'm wanting to make a forum that has a message already typed out and so that when the user goes to use this forum, all that they have to do is put their name, email and then click submit. is this possible?

I think, you mean "form" and not "forum", right?
Yes, it is possible. Just choose the field and write into it whatever you want.

How do I make a print button that prints "current page" as default

I am working in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 and have created "print
buttons" in the pdf document I am working in. The print dialog box has "print all" automatically selected as the current default. How can
I create buttons that bring the user to the print dialog box automatically selected at "print current page?" I want the user to hit
the print button and have it automatically print the single page that they are viewing only, so that no one will accidentally print the entire book.

Is it possible to make an event that does not have an end time?

I want to make an event that says I have a meeting at 4:30pm. I don't know when they meeting will end, so how do I leave that blank?

Hi Bala, you are right, the user must be able to give discounts to items that can be discounted. Most often the discounts will come from the BP price list and associated special and hierarchic pricing.
As Rakesh suggested, I shall run it by our client if they would want to limit discount ability across the board for their users through General authorizations and perhaps allow for only some users who could override manual discounts to certain limits. Again it pertain to the ability to override manual discounts on top of BP discounts through list for all items for some users only.
Thanks again Bala and Rakesh.

Can you create a button that adds specific text to a form field?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a button in a PDF that, when clicked, adds specific text to a form field?
I am trying to make a product catalogue where you click on a product button to add the product name or code to a form field.
Each product in the catalogue will have a button and the more you click the more is added to the form field(s).
Then when you have finished adding products to the form field(s) I want to be able to save and email the entire PDF as an order form.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jim

Yes, it's possible. The most simple version of such a script will be something like this (used as the button's MouseUp event):
var v = this.getField("Products");
if (f.value!="")
f.value += ", ";
f.value += "Product1";

How can I create a form with a button that adds a new page of fields to fill out?

Hi,
I have a one-page form created in Acrobat Pro 9 that contains five fields for a user to complete. I'd like to give the user the option of adding a page with the same five fields to fill out. The user finishes those fields, presses an "Add a Page" button, and then gets another page to fill out, and so on. When finished, their PDF form might be 10 pages long, at which point the user can save it as a single PDF file. Is this possible to do in Acrobat Pro 9 or 10, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Andrew

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".

var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);

Print button that prints particular pages of form

Hi, I'm not familiar with scripting, but I'm thinking a script might be necessary for what I want to do. I have a form that is 4 pages long. The first two pages are instructions, the last two are the actual form. Can I add a print button to the document that will print the last two pages rather than the entire document? And would the button need to be on the 3rd page (top of the actual form) or the 4th page (end of form)? Thanks!

Can I add a print button to the document that will print the last two pages rather than the entire document?
Yes.
// form1.page1.printBtn::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.host.print(1, "2", "3", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
And would the button need to be on the 3rd page (top of the actual form) or the 4th page (end of form)?
The print button can go anywhere.
