Javascript to create 2nd form from ansers of 1st form...

Hello,
I am collecting responses on one form and would like some of the fields from the 1st form to automatically populate certain fields of a 2nd form. I am told by Adobe tech support on the phone that this can be done with javascript but is not supported by Adobe.
Does anybody have any experience with this? Can anybody refer me to a javascript programmer that may have experience with Adobe Formscentral?
Thank you for your time.

Hello Josh,
I spent time on the telephone tech support line and was told that it can be done with javascript. The javascript would have to be hosted by me I suppose and both forms would have to be open (again that is what I would suppose). I am not a programmer and posted this question here because I am hoping to find someone that is familiar with formscentral that can refer me to a javascript programmer that can achieve this.
Thanks

How do I create an app from my Adobe pdf forms to use on any mobile device as well as windows and ios?

How do I create an app from my Adobe pdf forms to use on any mobile device as well as windows and ios? I have all the apps in Creative Cloud by the way.

If you already purchased it with the same Apple ID, then you will not be re-charged.

I just want to send one form from numbers not all forms.

I just want to send one form from numbers not all forms.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. I don't use Numbers and I would not know how to extract a sheet from the file - which it sounds like you need to do - based on my very, very limited experience with spreadsheet files.
Maybe this would be of some help to you.
http://help.apple.com/numbers/ipad/1.7/
Lets just keep the discussion alive and hopefull someone else will pop in with an idea.
You should probably post your question in here as well. You would probably get more help since this is the iWorks for iOS forum.

Using Javascript to create concatenated string from checkbox fields to one text field

Hi. I have a PDF form that I am trying to have output to a spreadsheet that matches my database schema. Here is the dilemna:
* I have a set of checkboxes for available languages (LANGUAGE_ENGLISH, LANGUAGE_SPANISH, etc.) When they export to spreadsheet, the value is TRUE.
* I need to take values from checked boxes and create a single string in a text field called LANGUAGE_DISPLAY (so my UI will not need to do the concatenation). If LANGUAGE_ENGLISH is TRUE (checked), append "English, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". Then, if LANGUAGE_SPANISH is TRUE (checked), append "Spanish, " to LANGUAGE_DISPLAY, else append "". And on and on
In the LANGUAGE_DISPLAY text field properties, I am inserting a Custom Calculation script to try to achieve this, but am not getting any results. I tried teh following even trying to pull the checkboxes default values and string them together:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toSrting();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toSrting();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toSrting();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
I also played with this to get the desired strings output...but to no avail:
if ( LANGUAGE_ENGLISH.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "English, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_FARSI.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Farsi, ";
if ( LANGUAGE_HEBREW.rawValue == true )
box1.rawValue = "Hebrew, ";
event.value = box1 + box2 + box3;
Then I tried to simplify to see one field output so used this script...still no results:
event.value = "";
var f = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH");
if ( f.isBoxChecked() == true) {
event.value = "English";
Couple questions:
1) Am I on the right track with any of these scripts?
2) Is there something else I need to do to get the script to run before running the Create Spreadsheet with Data Files comman in Acrobat to get my csv file output? Maybe there needs to be some event to get the checkbox values read by that field in order to calculate/create the string.
Appreciate any help you can provide.

LiveCycle Designer has shipped with all Acrobat Professional versions since the "Professional" version was introduced with version 6.
You do not let us know want results you get in the field or the JavaScript console.
Using:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value.toString();
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value.toString();
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value.toString();
event.value = box1 + ', ' + box2 + ', ' + box3;
returns "Off, Off, Off", when no box is checked and returns "Yes" for the appropriate box being checked when the default value is used for the creation of the check box. So if one would make the 'Export Value' of the box from the default value of 'Yes" to the appropriate language, one would get a more desirable result. But for each unchecked box the value would appear as "Off". So one needs to change the 'Off' value to a null string. But one is still left with the separator when there is an unchecked option.
Using the following document level function:
// Concatenate 3 strings with separators where needed
function fillin(s1, s2, s3, sep) {
Purpose: concatenate up to 3 strings with an optional separator
inputs:
s1: required input string text or empty string
s2: required input string text or empty string
s3: required input string text or empty string
sep: optional separator sting
returns:
sResult concatenated string
// variable to determine how to concatenate the strings
var test = 0; // all strings null
var sResult; // re slut string to return
// force any number string to a character string for input variables
s1 = s1.toString();
s2 = s2.toString();
s3 = s3.toString();
if(sep.toString() == undefined) sep = ''; // if sep is undefined force to null
assign a binary value for each string present
so the computed value of the strings will indicate which strings are present
when converted to a binary value
if (s1 != "") test += 1; // string 1 present add binary value: 001
if (s2 != "") test += 2; // string 2 present add binary value: 010
if (s3 != "") test += 4; // string 3 present add binary value: 100
/* return appropriate string combination based on
calculated test value as a binary value
switch (test.toString(2)) {
case "0": // no non-empty strings passed - binary 0
sResult = "";
break;
case "1": // only string 1 present - binary 1
sResult = s1;
break;
case "10": // only string 2 present - binary 10
sResult = s2;
break;
case "11": // string 1 and 2 present - binary 10 + 1
sResult = s1 + sep + s2;
break;
case "100": // only string 3 present - binary 100
sResult = s3;
break;
case "101": // string 1 and 3 - binary 100 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s3;
break;
case "110": // string 2 and 3 - binary 100 + 010
sResult = s2 + sep + s3;
break;
case "111": // all 3 strings - binary 100 + 010 + 001
sResult = s1 + sep + s2 + sep + s3;
break;
default: // any missed combinations
sResult = "";
break;
return sResult;
And the following cleaned up custom calculation script:
box1 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_ENGLISH").value;
box2 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_FARSI").value;
box3 = this.getField("LANGUAGE_MANDARIN").value;
if (box1 == 'Off') box1 = '';
if (box2 == 'Off') box2 = '';
if (box3 == 'Off') box3 = '';
event.value = fillin(box1, box2, box3, ', ');
One will get the list of languages with the optional separator for 2 or more language selections.

How do I prevent a 2nd website from nuking a 1st site?

I hope you can help me since I have not succeeded in my attempts so far. On one macbook I have a fully developed iweb website that I want to keep. When I attempted to design a 2nd site, with a new name, using iweb in my macbook pro, it simply replaced my original site. Yikes! The 1st site is www.nicholsloy.com/galleryzine. I thought I only had to use a different name say, www.nicholsloy.com/wordart to enable having 2 sites. What am I doing wrong?

When you publish more than one site to MobileMe using separate domain files its the index.html file of the first site that is overwritten by the second. The site folders should still be present and you can verify this by going to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.
This means that your personal domain name will now point to the second site. To avoid this you have to upload the index.html file for the first one after publishing the second.
Note that MobileMe only allows the use of one domain name forward using Cname. Others have to use masking....

Create HTML Form from PDF Form

Does anyone know of a quick way to create an HTML Form from an existing PDF Form?
Thanks everyone!
mars

From ID you can export to XHTML which is indeed consumed by DW but not via Acrobat...
So, can I import a PDF form into ID?
When I meant was - InDesign can export to XHTML
Acrobat cannot
Indeed, it would be great if forms could be created as ID objects and then exported to a PDF form but not yet (all fingers and toes crossed for CS5/CS6)
Cheers,

Re: Help creating digital forms from paper forms on a mac

This is a pretty general question but does anyone know of a way to create a digital form from a scanned paper form on a mac? I know that people use software such as Nuance's Omniform on the Windows platforms but I can't seem to find such a program for the mac. Is there someway to pull this off using Adobe PDF files? I would appreciate any help you guys can provide.
Thanks,

You can use Filemaker Pro and in the Layout section you drag "fields" around to represent any form you wish, draw lines and boxes, place pictures just like a page layout program but it's a database program.
You can then use these "fields" in any layout you wish, each record in the database will change the associated fields accordingly, name, address, phone etc etc.
I haven't used it in awhile, so I don't know if you can import a scan of a present paper form or not for a template, but it's rather easy to copy by measuring with a ruler.
Filemaker Pro so happens to be owned by Apple, but it's a seperate company, so you know it will work well.
If that's to much money for you, you can check out Appleworks, but I hear Apple isn't putting out any more updates for it, no Mactel version.
As always, learn to clone that boot dive before disaster strikes

Query about Calling One Form from Another using Personalization

Hi All,
I have created a Custom form using TEMPLATE.fmb and created functions in Apps and assigned to Responsibility etc and it all works OK.
Now, I need to call this Custom form from another seeded(PO form) Via Tools -> Menu.
using Forms personalization I can get the Menu Entry and Actions to execute the Form successfully from the PO Form.
BUT, I need it to automatically query records in my CUSTOM form based on my current PO_HEADER_ID value on my PO Form.
How can I do it ?
Do I need to modify my Block and add some parameters and then pass a value via Personalization ?
Please help !
Thanks
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
Please refer my article on metalink
Zoom to AR Transactions and AR Receipts Form from Collections Form using Forms Personalization - Doc ID: 430643.1
This article explains how to open the AR transactions form from another form. When it opens the form it automatically queries for the Invoice number of the calling form. You should be able to use this logic for your requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Anil

Hi ,
I found similiar solution on another forum as below.
http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/apps-traction-blog/how-to-create-a-zoom-using-oracle-form-personalization-12081
This works fine for the Purchasing form and allows me to zoom to the Supplier form.
But in my case, I want to zoom from the Supplier Form to my CUSTOM form. I replicated the exact steps as per the link.
However, it does NOT work as expected. It gets up to the ENTER QUERY mode in my CUSTOM form and remains in Enter Query mode. If I manually then Press key F11 to execute the query it brings back all records.
Do I need to do anything special in my CUSTOM form to make it behave in a similiar way to the Supplier Form ?
Thanks

You can set up a temporary button (or link, bookmark, etc.) and add the following JavaScript action:
// Mouse Up script for a temporary button (or bookmark, etc.)
// Change the font and font size for all text fields in this document
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i += 1) {
    var f = getField(getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Helv;
        f.textSize = 9;
It also sets the font size, but you can remove that line if you don't need to do that.

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages

I've created a PDF form using Adobe acrobat. I created the forms from a PDF that I made using pages and word on Mac running Mountain lion. How do I allow the user of the form to insert JPEG files when filling out the form and how do I allow the user to add more fields or groups of fields as needed.

The type of form yo're describing is possible if you create it in LiveCycle Designer. It may also be possible in Acrobat, but there are certain restrictions. The type of form is known as a dynamic XFA form. LiveCycle Designer is not available on the Mac, so you'd have to install the software on a Windows machine and learn how to create this type of form. The LiveCycle Designer forum here is a good resource for getting more help.
Reader 11 now supports creating new pages using templates with a form that you create in Acrobat (Acroform). This requires some JavaScript programming. It also adds support for using a button to display a page from a PDF, which can be an image or anything else a PDF can be. So the user would click a button, be prompted to import a page from an existing PDF, and the button (or a different button) displays it as its icon. This would require the user to convert the image to PDF first, which is relatively easy these days (e.g., using Preview on the Mac, or Word on Mac/Windows). This too involves a bit of JavaScript programming, but it's very simple and straightforward.
