JavaScript disallowed on certified form?

I have a dynamic form that is submitted using an HTTP Submit Button (pdf). The server responds with an FDF payload of JavaScript that gets executed immediately. This works fine when the form is not certified. However, once the form is certified (non visible), instead of running the JavaScript on submit, a popup says "operation is not permitted". Is there a way to return JavaScript to execute within a certified document? Using Designer ES4 and Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Sample FDF:
%FDF-1.2
1 0 obj
<<
/FDF
<<
/JavaScript << /After ( JavaScript Goes Here ) >>
>>
>>
endobj
trailer
<<
/Root 1 0 R
>>
%%EOF

Hi Santosh,
In this case, the PDF was signed by GlobalSign which chained up to the Adobe CA.
Note that the following FDF payload works:
1 0 obj<</FDF<</Status(Some Kind Words Here)>>/Type/Catalog/Version/1.3>>endobj trailer<< /Root 1 0 R >>%%EOF
It appears that the simple inclsion of the JavaScript key is enough to cause the error message.
Here is what my submit button looks like (xfa)
<field name="HTTPSubmitButton1" y="76.2mm" x="82.55mm" w="28.575mm" h="6mm" relevant="-print">
            <?templateDesigner isHttpSubmitObject true?>
            <ui>
               <button highlight="inverted"/>
            </ui>
            <font typeface="Arial"/>
            <caption>
               <value>
                  <text>Http Submit</text>
               </value>
               <para hAlign="center" vAlign="middle"/>
            </caption>
            <border hand="right">
               <edge stroke="raised"/>
               <fill>
                  <color value="212,208,200"/>
               </fill>
            </border>
            <bind match="none"/>
            <event name="event__click" activity="click">
               <submit format="urlencoded" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="http://localhost:51786/Submit/TestFDF#FDF"/>
            </event>
         </field>
Let me know if you need anything else to diagnose this issue.

Problem with using javascript in interactive adobe form

Hi All,
I have a problem when accessing text field value which is present inside a subform using javascript.
I tried giving data.page4.sub-5.<fieldname>.rawvalue but its not working. Please provide a solution.
Thank you in Advance.

Since this question is related to JavaScript running within the Form and not the connection between the form and Web Dynpro - it really belongs in the Interactive Forms by Adobe Forum.

Using JavaScript to Determine a Form's Folder Name

We have an awful lot of forms, and in many cases, our custom JavaScript applies to all forms in a given folder. We would like to determine the form's folder name so that we don't have to list each and every form in a giant "IF" statement.
Has anyone figured out how to determine a form's folder using JavaScript?
Thanks!

I think the only solution to the "refresh" issue would be to somehow query the hsp_object table and grab the parent_id (which for a form is the folder ID). If anyone figures out how to query the application repository from JavaScript,that would be very, very cool.
As the database is server side and javascript is client side you would have to use something like an ajax call that passes the form id into an jsp script, the jsp script would query the repository and return the value to javascript.

Error "This operation is available only for certified forms"

We have developed the Adobe form in Webdynpro ABAP (NW04S SP9).When we test the form in the ABAP side it works fine. But when we deploy the form in the portal and try to perform the same action we get the error "This operation is available only for certified forms". Could someone let us know what the problem could be?
thanks

the first thing to check would be that there's
no logic error in your application that's causing multiple threads to try to close
the same folder.... and if there is, note that there is a timing-window problem between calling imapFolder.isOpen() and imapFolder.close(). Only one thread should be doing this anyway.

hi,
Please follow the suggestions for Saving a form:
// Saving the form is done at the application level, so you need to invoke the
Acrobat app model.
App.executeMenuItem("SaveAs"); // The end user will be prompted to specify a
file name.
// However, you must save the form silently if the form needs to be certified
and the certificate must be trusted for privileged JavaScript.
var mydoc = event.target;
mydoc.saveAs();
Thanks,

Problem with JavaScript in my PDF Form buttons

I am trying to have my user click on a button in my form on my website and e-mail the form data to me.
I am using the following JavaScript with my form button:
this.mailForm(false, "[email protected]", "", "", "Subject", "Message Body");
Protected mode is off.
When I use the above statement (whether the 1st parameter is set to true or false), nothing happens – no email gets sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change from this.mailForm(...) to this.mailDoc(...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, it sends the blank form without the filled-in data due to low user privileges.
How can I send the form data with this.mailForm(...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm(...) rather than mailto:(...) because this.mailForm(...) supposedly allows me to e-mail the form without user interaction.)
-- Don

Thanks for responding. I have been using “Submit a form” in the Mouse up event. I had that operation do a mailto: and it worked, but required user interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I have successfully created an equivalent JavaScript including:
    var url = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=mySubject&body=MyMessage";
    this.submitForm(url, true);
The above sent the FDF file successfully, but again, it required user interaction.
Then I tried this JavaScript - as I mentioned in a previous post - after you said to use doc.submitForm():
    var url = "http://mydomain.com/submit_notice.php";
    doc.submitForm(url, false);
The above script seemed to do nothing (with no error message). Shouldn't it bring up the PHP file in the web browser?
I have that php file, submit_notice.php, created, but I have not written any PHP scripts to e-mail the FDF file. I have never written a PHP script to take the posted FDF data and email it, but I have used the PHP mail() function and posted variables.
As for what I want to happen on the client side after the submit takes place: I simply want the FDF file to go to an e-mail that I specify. Additionally, I need it to happen without any client interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I can expect that visitor to have Adobe reader, but no add-ons or protected mode requirement.
Please give me an example that emails the FDF file without any user interaction.
Thank you.

How can I remove all JavaScript content from a form created in Adobe LiveCycle ES?

Dear all,
I have created a form from scratch (blank A4) that doesn't have any events with scripts.
Nevertheless I still get the usual error message in Adobe Reader where we have disabled JavaScript:
In Acrobat Pro 9 I can see 3 document level scripts in the JavaScript debugger:
I don't get any of this If I create forms in Acrobat so I suspect the scripts are not totally necessary.
We would rather not unsettle our users with the message and I therefore need to get rid of the scripts.
Do you know of any way?
Many thanks
Mike

I've attempted using Acrobat Pro to do the conversion, but it simply won't allow it. Are there easier ways to have an online or fillable form, created in an Adobe program, such as LiveCycle or Acrobat Pro, sent or saved in a pdf format?
For example: I make a form using an Adobe Program and put it online for people to fill out. They fill it out and click a button to email it to me. When I open it, is there a way to see it as a PDF document?
Thank you for your help thus far. It has been much more informative than many of the forums I've attempted to decipher.

Using Javascript to email a form in a workflow process

I've created an Acroform which will be routed around in a workflow process. The user will open the form, add information and hit a button which is coded in javascript usng the mailDoc function.
It works perfectly EXCEPT that each time the document is forwarded, "Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf" gets appended to the name of the file in the email. It doesn't actually rename the file, so the file does open properly, but the email looks pretty goofy.
Example. The filename is Form14.pdf.
When the third person signs off and clicks the email button, the email is created, with the address, subject line and body of the email completed, and the document attached has the little icon and then
- Form 14.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf
Is there some way to prevent it from concatenating like this every time the document is emailed?
Thanks!!!

Maybe you could try it like this... I saw this question answered not too long ago.
Submit Portal Form Values to Portal Report

Using javascript to redirect a form in portal to a report

Hi. I am trying to call a report or a dynamic page from a form I created. When I select the query button I want it to show the report or dynamic page based on the parameters I passed in the URL. I have the following javascript functions that get the parameters from the comboboxes.
Additional PL/SQL Code... before displaying the page.
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript">');
htp.p('function getItemInst(form,targetInst)');
htp.p('{var objname;');
htp.p(' var selectedInst;');
htp.p(' for(var j =0; j < form.length; j++)');
htp.p(' { objname = form.elements[j].name.split(".");');
htp.p(' if(objname[2] == targetInst)');
htp.p(' { selectedInst = form.elements[j].value;');
htp.p(' return selectedInst;');
htp.p(' }');
htp.p(' }');
htp.p('}');
htp.p('function getItemCip(form,targetCip)');
htp.p('{ ');
htp.p(' var objname;');
htp.p(' var selectedCip;');
htp.p(' for(var j =0; j < form.length; j++)');
htp.p(' {objname = form.elements[j].name.split(".");');
htp.p(' if(objname[2] == targetCip)');
htp.p(' { selectedCip = form.elements[j].value;');
htp.p(' return selectedCip;');
htp.p(' }');
htp.p(' }');
htp.p('}');
htp.p('</script>');
When I click the query button it uses this code:
using a query button->onclick javascript event handler
var v_inst = getItemInst(this.form, "INST");
var v_cip_course = getItemCip(this.form, "CIP_COURSE");
var exec_url = "http://"+window.location.hostname + "/pls/portal/MAJOR_APP.PROGRAMOFSTUDYSEARCHRESULTS.show?p_arg_names=p_cip_course&p_arg_values="+v_cip_course+
"&p_arg_names=p_inst&p_arg_values="+v_inst;
window.location.href=exec_url;
My problem is that it doesn't use the new url I created and go to the report. It just refreshes the form page I created. I am I missing a step or something?
Thanks ;)

Submit Portal Form Values to Portal Report

Using Javascript to reset a form on document load

I am trying to reset all field vaules on a acrobat form to the default values, when the form is initially loaded. I am trying to use the resetForm() method in a document level script, but not having any luck.
I have been able to reset fields after user inputs such as a button that resets the form, or a script the will reset a form prior to importing field data... but I need to ensure all data is removed from the form when the form first loads
Any ideas?

I believe you mean a document level JavaScript, Entering Document Level Scripts, since a Folder level script would require the placing of the code into one of the Acrobat Application's JavaScript folder on the user machine, Entering Folder Level Scripts. Placing the JS code as a Document Level Sept will clear the form when the form is opened. One could also use the Page Open action if additional code is added to prevent re clearing the form if part of a multi page document and one navigates back to the original page.
You should also consider turning off auto complete and auto caching of form data.

Problem using javascript to submit jsf form, values not submitted

Greetings!
I have a t:selectOneMenu where I want the page to be submitted when they change the selected value. At this point, I am able to get the form to submit and reload the page, which is all fine. The problem is that none of the values from the page are not set in the backing bean. I have break points on the setter methods that are not being hit.
I have tried a number of things from searching multiple forums, but here are snippets from my latest version...
<h:form>
<t:commandLink id="hiddenLink" forceId="true" value="test link"
action="#{pc_PageX.doBtnHiddenLinkAction}"></t:commandLink>
<t:selectOneMenu id="pageList_top" forceId="true" value="#{pc_PageX.ValueX}"
     onchange="jspellSync(); submitPageX();">
     <f:selectItems value="#{pc_PageX.ListX}" />
</t:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>
function submitPageX(){
     var hiddenLink = document.getElementById("hiddenLink");
     hiddenLink.click();
}Note that the <t:commandLink> is not hidden, though it will be in the final version if I can get this to work.
If I click the commandLink myself, the page is submitted with all the page values as expected. If I change the list value, thus using javascript to fire the commandLink's click event, the page is submitted with NO values.
Can anyone come up with an explanation for this behavior? Or better yet, a solution?
A couple other things I've tried...
- Not using a commandLink and using jsf's submit function -> onchange="jspellSync(); submit();"
- Clicking the link using other ways -> hiddenLink.fireEvent('onclick');
If all else fails, I'll just add a button that they have to click to submit the form.

I recall this problem in one of the ancient JSF versions. Which JSF version do you use? Do you have any room to upgrade to latest? We're using an IBM implementation of JSF, which is at version 7.0. The IBM implementation appears to be built on the JSF base 1.1.That's not an IBM JSF implementation, they do not have any one, they just have some component libraries which runs on top of some JSF implementation. RAD/WSAD ships by default with Sun JSF RI. Try upgrading to at least 1.1_02 which you can download from the aforementioned link. There's a gap of 2 years (and inherently a lot of bugfixes) compared to 1.1. If the application server used supports Servlet 2.5, you could even upgrade to the latest 1.2.
We've had other issues with the IBM implementation, which could be the cause in this case too. We've been talking about switching to MyFaces, but there is one feature of the IBM version that we like. It's basically a script collector (hx:scriptCollector) that allows us to do pre-processing on the page.As said before, IBM does not have a JSF implementation. So replacing RI by MyFaces wouldn't make any difference.

Using JavaScript to submit a form with multiple submit buttons

I am a newbie to JavaScript, so hopefully someone can answer
this for me.
On my user registration form, I have two buttons that submit
the form, 'check_availability' (to check if the username is
available) and 'register'. In my PHP script, I check which button
was pushed by checking which POST value is set,
$_POST['check_availability'] or $_POST['register'].
If I set the 'register' button to a JavaScript function that
validates the form and then submits it, how do I get my PHP script
to think 'register' was pushed?

Sorry I used my old captcha script there.
[php]
<?
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['button_name'])){
//DO SOMETHING HERE
} else {
//Add the page data
?>
[/php]

Javascript in Master Detail Form

I have a form which has an audit_date field in the master block. In the detail block there is a closed_during_audit field which is a radio button(2 choices either yes or no). Once the user selects yes in the radio button I want to populate the next field in the detail block, which is the close_date field, with the value in the master block.
I have tried using Javascript but I am not able to get it to work. I have embedded the code in the form test header section and the code is as follows:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function setCloseDate(form, fieldname)
var pieces = fieldName.split(".");
var closedatefield = new String ( pieces[0] + "." + pieces[1] + "." + "CLOSE_DATE" + "." + pieces[3] );
var closedduringauditfield = new String ( pieces[0] + "." + pieces[1] + "." + "CLOSED_DURING_AUDIT" + "." + pieces[3] );
var auditdatefield = new string ("AUDIT_MAINTENANCE_BACKUP.MASTER_BLOCK.AUDIT_DATE.01" );
var auditdate = form.elements[eval(auditdatefield)].value;
var cda = form.elements[eval(closedduringauditfield)].value;
if (cda == "Yes" || "Y")
form.elements[eval(closedatefield)].value = audit_date;
</script>
In the onChange event of the radio button I have placed the following call
setCloseDate( this.form, this.name);
1. How can I do this?
2. Where would I place the code?
Do I have to use Javascript?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You call the javascript function it should be part of the html source. You should create this javascript function in one of the additional plsql code section by using htp.p('<script language="javascript">
You can then call this function from the javascript event handler of the radio buton. Otherwise you should create the javascript under shared components and then use it if you want it to be a common javascript.
Thanks,
Sharmila

JavaScript issue in PDF Form

I am wanting to create a script in a PDF form format with Adobe 8.0 (or 5.0 if necessary, what I want it to do is when I fill out a form box "name" on page 3 I have the same thing "name" is there a way for it to bring the information from the first box to the second without me retyping it? I will be using this form A LOT. I am working for a hospice center and have to fill out a ton of paperwork and some of it is very repetitive. Any help would be great, I know a little javascript and I think it can be done with it, any ideas?
Nora

If you are using Acrobat and the Form Tool, just use the same name for the field name.
If you are using LiveCycle Designer, use the same name for the field name select "global" for the field's binding.
