Java Scripting Conditional fields

I am trying to enter a Java Script for a set of yes/no radio buttons, where if you enter yes it will require you to enter text in a nearby numeric field. The script i'm using seems to work, but once the user enters yes just one time, it will not let them change their answer back to no without getting the error message saying that they need to enter text in the other field. Can anyone help me with what I'm doign wrong? Here is the script I'm using.
'2' is the value for yes and comappNUM1 and commappFC1 are the field names I want to be required if yes is chosen. I'm guessing something needs to tell it to disable if no is selected.
if(this.rawValue =='2')
comappNUM1.mandatory = "error";
comappFC1.mandatory = "error";
else{

You have to use the script in the Change-Event from the RadioButtonList!
The ' ' is wrong.
//if (this.rawValue == "2") you can also use "2"
if (this.rawValue == 2)
comappNUM1.mandatory = "error";
comappFC1.mandatory = "error";
}else
comappNUM1.mandatory = "disabled";
comappFC1.mandatory = "disabled";
I hope this is helpfull,
Mandy

How to add java Script Form field acrobat with 3D Annotation in plugin?

Sorry but your question makes no sense whatsoever.

Using a multiple word choice in a dropdown field to fire a java script

I'm a complete beginner to java script, and relatively new to form building in Acrobat.
I'm using a dropdown field to auto-fill other fields based on my 1st dropdown selection.
The 1st dropdown field allows me to select a variety of vendors. Once I select the vendor, it auto-fills the contact info for that vendor.
I plagiarized the scripting from this link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field. I even changed my field names for the time being. I'll change my form field names back and the script to match once I have it working the way I want.
If I use a single name in my vendor dropdown (1st field), the script works perfectly and auto-fills the contact information as expected. However, many of my vendors are two or more words...and I need these full names to print out, so I cant just make a one word contraction. Here's the script as I'm using it:
Here's an example of a single word vendor name that works as expected:
// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure
var DeptData = { ADLEMI:{ contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",
                              email: "DOWNEY, CA 90242",
                              deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111" }};
function SetFieldValues(cDeptName)
this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData[cDeptName].contact;
this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData[cDeptName].email;
this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData[cDeptName].deptnum;
The single vendor name I used in the example above is 'ADLEMI.' If I add 'BEST' to ADLEMI (see below) I receive a syntax error. I really need to be able to use multiple words in my Vendor dropdown to trigger the auto-fill.
// Place all prepopulation data into a single data structure
var DeptData = { ADLEMI BEST:{ contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",
                              email: "DOWNEY, CA 90242",
                              deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111" }};
function SetFieldValues(cDeptName)
this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData[cDeptName].contact;
this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData[cDeptName].email;
this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData[cDeptName].deptnum;
The only difference is I added a space and the word 'BEST' after ADLEMI. Is there a way around this. I need to have multiple words in my dropdown, or at least the full name of the vendor showing in the field when I print it out.
Thanks

Place double-quotes around the item name.

Condition verification in java script on Adobe form.

Hello Experts,
I am using a interactive forma text element on my view. (java web dynpro)
It's a simple application. I am trying to figure out how it works with java script.
I have a text field. which displays employ is sales or production dept
the values in the data view and its the output element of a BAPI which returns XF,TF,HF and XK,JK,HK
(record.dept)
if its XF, TF, HF on the text field in the adobe form should print sales else production.
I have never used java script on adobe form.
I figured the strip above the form in adobe designer is used for java script.
can any one, let me know how I can manipulate. the record value
Here is what I am trying record.dept = XF |TF|JF . but i dont know how to run the java script or its syntax.
Your help is highly appreciated.

James,
xfa.host.messageBox should show you an alert dialog box to check data you are getting.
And yes you are right. You can set the value of textfield using code you mentioned.
if(record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("XF")
             || record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("TF")
                      record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("JF"))
   xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Sales");
   <Text-field id>.value = "Sales";
else
   xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Production");
<Text-field id>.value = "Production";
You can even set the texfields to be readOnly, hide some of them etc. But for that I would suggest you going thru the LiveDesigner help. It would solve most of your doubts :-).

Adobe forms-checking that required fields are completed-Java Script

I have inserted two Java Scripts into my form--one for checking for required fields are completed, and then one for generating an email pulling a custom subject line, as shown below:
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
this.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:"[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]",cSubject:"Bugzilla Form for: "+this.getField("Bugzilla Title").value+" - "+this.getField("Bugzilla ID").value})
Issue: After the error window displays fields that have not been completed, when I click OK the email window displays.
QUESTION: How can I stop the email window from displaying until all fields are completed?
THANKS!

Thank you so much for your quick response (and thank you for all the code that I am reusing!) I have another issue now.Can you see why the following is occurring....
I placed else in and now it edits the required fields, but once they are completed, will not initiate the email prompt. Here's what I have now
var emptyFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
     var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
     if (f.type!="button" && f.required && f.display==display.visible) {
          if ((f.type=="text" && f.value=="") || (f.type=="checkbox" && f.value=="Off")) emptyFields.push(f.name);
if (emptyFields.length>0) {
     app.alert("Error! You must fill in the following fields:\n" + emptyFields.join("\n"));
elsethis.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:"[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]",cSubject:"Bugzilla Form for: "+this.getField("Bugzilla Title").value+" - "+this.getField("Bugzilla ID").value})

Problem with Html field naming and java script

Java Script which references html fields uses the
notation "document.form[0].field". JATO generates field names which
include the page (view bean). A dot is placed between viewbean name and
field name(viewbean.field). However "document.form[0].viewbean.field"
doesn't work as a reference. I'm not a java script person. Am I
missing something?

that's correct. You can use the below code for AJAX request.
<script type="text/javascript">
var httpObject = getHTTPObject();
//create XMLHttpRequest object
function getHTTPObject() {
     var xmlhttp;
     if (window.XMLHttpRequest) // if Mozilla, Safari etc
          xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
     else if (window.ActiveXObject){ // if IE
          try {
               xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
          catch ( e ){
               try{
                    xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
               catch ( e ){}
     return xmlhttp;
//define the function to send the request
function sendRequest(){
    var currDesc = document.getElementById("description").value;
    var URL = "manageMaintAction.do"; //action mapping in your struts-config
    var queryString = "currDesc="+escape(currDesc); //get the currDesc value in your action class like request.getParameter("currDesc")
    httpObject.open( "Post", URL, true );
    httpObject.onreadystatechange = cbFn;
    httpObject.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
    httpObject.send(queryString);
//callback fn
function cbFn() {
    if (httpObject.readyState == 4)
         if (httpObject.status == 200)
          var result = httpObject.responseText;
          alert(result);

Saving form field data with Adobe Reader and Java script.

We would like to create some customized PDF documents with pre filled form fields for our customers. The documents will also have extended Java script functionality to check some entered data and to save the form data to a local disk.
Our customers will need to click on their personalized link on our web page and then download a pdf document with personal pre filled form fields specifically for that customer. From our site the PDF file will be dynamically created and partly filled out with our web application. (The application uses an external PDF library for the pdf creation).
They would then need to be able to edit the form fields and save/export them as a pdf whilst offline.
The saving/exporting of the data should be implemented by the extended Java Script functionality (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_developer_guide.pdf). Once the data has been edited they will send the pdf file directly back to us.
The issue we have is with regarded to teh EULA for Acrobat Reader. If we create those documents with an external application is the user allowed to open those PDF files with his Adobe Reader without breaking the Adobe Reader Restrictions in the EULA for the Reader? (http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-Combined-20080204_1313.pdf, chapter 3.2 Adobe Reader Restrictions)

Hello,
the problem which I have pertains only to the Adobe Reader. Because
our user will use Adobe Reader to open our pdf documents but it looks
like that the EULA for the Reader doesn't allow the user to open pdf
files which have the extended option to save data out of the form
fields unless!! this feature was created by an adobe product. But I
created the pdf file not with Adobe. So I don't want our user be punished...
It is actually a question of the law? departement of Adobe. But there
is no Forum for that
Or could you please forward my forum question to somebody of this department.
I don't want to publish a product where the user breaches the EULA
every time they are opening it

How to read the value of Inputfield in WAD in JAVA script?

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in WAD .
I have put an Input Field (text box), a button and a script control in the web template.
In my script control function , I want to read the value entered in the input field using java script. How do I achieve it?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
akshay

Hi,
To do this, first you may want to view the HTML source of the report. So, when you have the report launched with the input field, right click and select View Source. Usually it is under a <span> tag with id something like sapbi_snippet_YOURWEBITEMNAME. Most useful commands here are document.getElementById and document.getElementsByTagName.
You can also access the input web item value using standard sap command SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING. Take a look at the documentation on this.
Hope the above helps.

wira

How to Debug Java Script in Adobe Form

I have used an alert for empty fields . I have used Check button control for this.
But the button click is very inconsistent. Some times it triggers the event sometimes it doesnt. Is there anyway to debug the java script. I have installed Script editor for IE but I am unable to use it for Adobe Forms.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vasu

Hi Vasu,
i think that maybe is the check sequence is not very correct.. and maybe you can try to code it one check for empty fields at a time..
example
Name.
Address.
Tel.
Hp.
Email.
so u can try to code for one item at a time then slow try to debug it... as last time i use to insert the javascript inside each component then after it i implement into a button and slowly check for the check sequence which one need to be 1st and etc.
hope it help you. if not maybe u can give more information. maybe i can help you out at myside.
Regard,

Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script

Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script
Sub Problem:
I am making an array of quads of all the hyperlinks in a document. I would like to automatically skip over all the bookmarks in the starting pages of a document and just get the links of the hyperlinks.
Now I have to manually set the pages that contain bookmarks so they are not included in the array.
Is there any way to determine if a link is a book mark or hyperlink in java script?
It would help automate the conversion I need below
John
Main Problem:
I have been working on converting a set of pdf files with 1000’s of hyperlinks like www.site.com\folder1\file1.pdf#page=10
To jump to a local copy of the files with a relative type link
../folder1/file1.pdf and then go to the proper page.
I have found that it can be done manually by changing the hyperlink to a javascript
var otherDoc = app.openDoc('../folder1/file1.pdf', this);otherDoc.pageNum = 10 - 1;
and setting each destination file with a disclose()=true;
Based on the help so far that java script cannot access the hyperlink value in a link
See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1039908?tstart=60
I have resorted to the following plan using acrobat javascript, an external keyboard macro recorder and excel in combination to get around the problem
Four folder level acrobat javascripts with “buttons”
One to get all the link quads in an array, in the pdf and report the total number
The second creates a form field in the far corner of the first page and moves there.
The third jumps to each link found by creating a form field just to the left of the link and zooms in so it can be selected by a “mouse click” from the keyboard macro recorder
The forth deletes the form field
The keyboard macro recorder runs javascript 2 and then 3 then clicks on the link just to the right of the middle of the screen and uses keys to get to the advanced editing to get to edit the hyperlink .
The hyperlink is then copied to excel where it is converted using string functions to the needed javascript text to be copied back.
To the acrobat file into a java script (after deleting the hyperlink)
Rinse/lather/repeat
I have been able to convert about 150 links an hour.
Better then hand typing, but not like having java access to the links.
I am looking to improve the solution

thanks for your help.
I may have been confusing a "acrobat bookmark" and a bookmark in a word file that is converted to a pdf and ends up being a
link of the type:
"Go to a page in this document"
which I do not want in my array vs
a link of the action type:
"Open a web link"
Which I do want
John
My code, note how I have to skip pages with "Go to a page in this document" links depending on the document, I would like to use the same code for each document and skip over the "Go to a page in this document" links :
global.ilinkindex = 1;
global.aLinkquads = [ [0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0, 0, 0] ];
function GetLinkArray()
global.ilinkindex = 1;
var iTotalLinks=0;
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages - 8 ; p++)                   // end before bookmarks for each page of the file x.pdf
// for ( var p = 0; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // for each page of the file
for ( var p = 23; p < this.numPages; p++)                     // start after bookmarks for each page of the file y.pdf
var cropbox = this.getPageBox("Crop", p);
var alinksonpage = this.getLinks(p, cropbox);            // get array of links on page
for ( var ll = 0; ll < alinksonpage.length; ll++)
   var linkquads = alinksonpage[ll].rect;     // get link Quads
   linkquads[4] = p;          // add page number to link Quads array
    global.aLinkquads[global.ilinkindex] = linkquads; // add quads to global link Quads array
    global.ilinkindex++;
iTotalLinks = global.aLinkquads.length - 1;
global.ilinkindex = 1;
app.alert("Number of Links in Document is " + iTotalLinks );

How to populate a java script array from a bean.

Hi all,
I have a list "mdfProductNames" which is further comprising of two fields "subGroup" and "mdfProductName"
The list is coming is a part of the form bean.(struts framework)
Now i want to have the values of these two fields in two different java script arrays.
i.e. Array x -> mdfProductName
and Array y -> subGroup
can someone give me any idea as to how to do this ?
Thanks
Edited by: Ramit on 17 Jul, 2008 9:53 AM

hi,
assuming u use jstl, u need to create javascript variable during html generation out of the values got from struts form bean. it could look like this:
------ .jsp file ----
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<script type="text/javascript">
var X = [];
var Y = [];
<c:forEach items="${formBeanName.mdfProductNames}" var="grpProdName">
X.push( '${grpProdName.mdfProductName}' );
Y.push( '${grpProdName.subGroup}' );
</c:forEach>
// here u already have the two arrays filled up with data
</script>
------- end of .jsp file
"formBeanName" is a name of a formbean u use to store the list of your beans

How to remove a java script pop up

Hi,
I imported a robohelp document from another company and i am
catering it to my company's needs. The problem is they have popups
which refer to .bmp and it is in java script. If i highlight the
word which has the pop up and remove the popup and then highlight
the normal word again and refer it to my topic in the project
manger; it still refers to their image and not mine. It is strange
but true. I don't know how to remove the java script cos each time
i hover over the highlighted text there are 2 red squares on the
left and right hand side of the word highlighted which i want to
change from their image to mine.
Any help would be much appreciated .
