Issue passing values to text symbols in Dynamic text PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I am facing a problem related to Dynamic texts in Adobe PDF forms (Text node of type include text). I am able to pass the dynamic values to the Text node properties but i am not able to pass the values to Text symbols inside the Text node. When tested it says the field not found. I have the same structure and field in the CONTEXT as that of the text symbol. The problem i see is because in PDF the field names have $record.(fieldname) ?
Please share your thoughts if anyone has faced similar problem or know how to handle it.
Thanks a million in advance,
Chandu

Open the report up in the Designer and Click on Edit, Subreport Links. Likely what you can do is use Shared Variables to pass values from the main report to the subreport.
You need to do this in the report first. If you are using RAS then you can at runtime. If RAS is not available to you then no way in code.
See these samples:

Also refer to the DSK help files for the Engine or RAS and search on the subreportcontroller.

    Thanks a lot,

    HELLO FRIEND
        ALL THOSE REPLIES ARE A KIND OF HARD CODING....THOSE WILL WORK IN THAT CLIENT ALONE...IF YOU TRANSPORT THAT REPORT TO ANOTHER CLIENT THERE AGAIN YOU NEED TO MAINTAIN THE TEXT ELEMENTS AGAIN BY GOING TO THE MENU.....
    BEST YOU CAN USE
    INITIALIZATION EVENT
    INTILIZE ALL THOSE TEXT ELEMENTS USING COMMENT SYNTAZ AND YOU CAN GIVE WHAT EVER THE TEXT ELEMENTS YOU WANT....
    THIS IS THE BEST WAY OF PRACTICING AND THIS IS FOLLOWED IN REAL TIME TOO...

  • How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

    What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

  • Adobe Reader for Android to work with dynamic XML PDF forms?

    Any possibility that Reader for Android will ever work with dynamic XML PDF forms created by Abobe Acrobat Pro?

  • Converting Livecycle Dynamic XML pdf forms to Word?

    How do I convert a dynamic XML pdf form created from Livecycle designer ES to Microsoft word? I have Acrobat X and when I click on File -> Save As - > and choose 'Save as type' as "Microsoft Word Document (*.doc)", I am getting this message: "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
    Is this because its a dynamic XML form with many javascripts in the form design? if not, what could be the cause of this that is making the file not savable to word format? All of these forms are created from Livecycle designer and I have tried using Acrobat X to convert them to word but it doesnt work.

    Hi,
    don't expect an exact result.
    The conversion always is an interpretation of the given layout and may be not perfect in all details.
    There is not script you can add to a button to automate this workflow, especially not  for Reader, as it doesn't have any export functions.
    I tested Adobe ExportPDF services, which are available in Reader XI, but those only export the shell PDF of a XFA form, so it's not usable for those PDF's (image below).

  • Cannot use text:TextField with dynamic text in 3.2

    Hi,<br /><br />I have a multi-lang app which uses English LTR and Hebrew-Arabic RTL.<br />I am using a properties file for each language, and I get the<br />right item using resourceManager getString.<br /><br />Until 3.2 I had to reverse the order of the words in each item when using<br />Hebrew (or Arabic for that matter).<br /><br />In 3.2 with the new Text layout framework, this is not needed (MAJOR IMPROVEMENT) but I cannot get it to work with dynamic text only static text.<br /><br />of course all works great if I upgarde to flex 4.0, and use the textBox component, but I do not want to do that, so late in the development phase of the application.<br /><br />Here is a small mxml which shows the problem:<br /><br /><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><br /><mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"<br />   xmlns:TryComps="appComponents.*" xmlns:text="flash.text.*"><br />   <mx:Style source="css/flashTypeStyles.css"/> <br />   <mx:Script><br />     <br />       import mx.resources.ResourceManager;<br />     <br />   </mx:Script><br />     <mx:Label text="Using text:TextField FIXED : THIS WORKS"/><br />        <!-- some text in hebrew if you dont see it you probably dont have it insalled --><br />     <text:TextField text="&#1506;&#1489;&#1512;&#1497;&#1514; &#1499;&#1493;&#1514;&#1489;&#1497;&#1501; &#1502;&#1497;&#1502;&#1497;&#1503; &#1500;&#1513;&#1502;&#1488;&#1500;"/><br />        <mx:Label text="Using text:TextField DYNAMIC :  THIS DOES NOT WORK"/><br />     <text:TextField text="{resourceManager.getString(Locales.LOCALE_BUNDLE,'BI_DIRECTIONAL_TEXT')}"/><br />     <br /></mx:Application><br /><br />Any one has an idea ???<br />The 'BI_DIRECTIONAL_TEXT' is an entry in the property file which has the same value as the static text above.<br /><br />The run time error I get is : <br />TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter text must be non-null.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Eli7

    If you look thru the TextField class in the help documents you will find all of the properties you can manipulate.  One property is the wordWrap property which will keep you text from going off the side of the textfield.  Another is multiline which will allow the textfield to have more than one line.  And another is the autoSize property which will make your textfield adjust to fit the amount of text loaded into it.

  • How to copy Report(including text symbols and Selection text) in Local file

    Hi,
    I have developed a Report in my testing system (Company dummy system) which contains lot selection text and Text symbols.
    Is there any program that will copy that prohram along with all selection text and text symbold and save it on the floder and form the same program or different program i can upload program??
    for example SAP has standard program <b>RSTXSCRP</b> from which i can export and import SAP Script to and from local file or system.
    Please let me know at the earliest.
    Regards,
    Prasanna

    HI,
    For scripts only that option is avaible in SAP.
    For reports u can copy that report to another name otherwise release the request no and transport to one system to another system.
    Final option is u have to save to one local file (green color icon) after that in which system, u want to upload the report  means u have to create new report and upload it including selection-text itself.
    Thanks,
    Shankar

  • Is there any way to add a text from html into a PDF form using javascript?

    I have a SCORM based package having only a PDF form to show. I want to add user name from SCORM LMS to be added on the PDF whenever user launches PDF from LMS.
    Please let me know if there is any way to execute this.
    Thanx.

    Hi, hbirkie, and welcome to Apple Discussions. No, there isn't any way to apply text to a photo in iPhoto — you have to do that in a different application. MS Word is the last one I would ever have thought of using for that purpose, but if it works for you, great!

  • Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

    Hi Tarek
    Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
    With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
    I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
    My Workflow as follows
    1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
    2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
    3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
    4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
    5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
    6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
    7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
    8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
    9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple  and free ADOBE READER.
    That's it !!
    could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance
    Ajo Joseph

    iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
    To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
    Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
    Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

  • Justify text in field on Adobe PDF form

    How do you justify the text in a form field in Acrobat Pro? The only options I have are left, center and right. I am using version 11 on a Mac. The text box is set to Georgia Italic 10pt, multi-line with rich text formatting. The size of the field is 150mm wide by 85mm deep. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    A user can justify the text in a rich text field, but this is not a property that you can set for a blank field, unfortunately. For the user to do it, they'd have to display the Properties bar (Ctrl+E) and use the Align Justified button:

  • Euro Symbol from Dynamic Text

    Sorry, me again! I understand that this seems to be a pretty common problem. My euro symbol isn't showing up in the XML text I bring into Flash. I've worked with our developer to replace the euro symbol with "EURO" in the XML so that at least it shows up in Flash and I'm trying to use actionscript to change it back to the euro symbol. I found some script here (see the 2nd post) and I thought it looked promising but it's not working for me. Have I adapted it correctly?
    function replaceSpecChars(txtField):Void {
        for (var i = 0; i < txtField.text.length; i++) {
            var euro:String = "EURO";
            var euroPos:Number = txtField.text.indexOf(euro);
            if (euroPos > -1) {
                txtField.replaceText(euroPos, euroPos+3, "€");
    replaceSpecChars(newsContent.articleHeadline.text);

    Hi Brian,
    Maybe this is a bit late, but I stumble in the same question and droped here, in your question, trying to get some clues. Hope my solution will help you or others with the same issue. It's not the ideal, but it's simple.
    I stumbled upon the same question as you did, although I used a font that had the "€". Tried every possible code in the XML file, but nothing.
    So I did one other thing. The values that I want to display are stored in a String variable, so there's a simple method of placing the euro sign where you want.
    I did the following:
    - In the XML file I replaced the euro sign by a keyword. Lets say: "eurosign";
    - Then in the actionscript, I detect where "eurosign" is and replaced it with the "€" like this:
    myPrice = myPrice.split("euros").join("€");
    This did the trick for me.
    Hope it helps
