JavaScripting linear fill

Trying to get a linear fill, top to bottom, in a button or field using JavaScripting so I can change the colors when needed. Adobe documentation says it can be done, but is not clear as to how to get the desired result. Any ideas?
Thank you.

OK now I understand. You will have to setup your field with the appearance the way you want (i.e. Linear toBottom) with white to white before you run your script. This will give the same appearance as a normal field but it will put the neccessary nodes in the XDP to allow you to manipulate them. Once you do this you will need three commands to complete your change.
1. To set the style of the appearance:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.linear.type = "to Bottom";
2. Set the color that you are fading to:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.linear.color.value = "0,0,255";
3. Set the colro of the field that you are starting from:
TextField1.ui.textEdit.border.fill.color.value = "255,0,0";
Lastly you will need to put fous on the field to have your changes applied:
xfa.host.setFocus("TextField1");

Linear fills -changing

Hi
If I have a linear fill using 4 shades of orange and I wish
to change the
fill to shades of blue do I have to start from scratch or is
there a way of
linking colours?
thanks

You may try placing a copy of the object above it, set fill
color to solid
blue, then change merge mode from "Normal" to something like
"Color".

Javascript to fill text field from other PDF form

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to add javascript to a text field that when initiated pulls text from another field in a closed pdf in the same directory.
For example I have a NAME field in the pdf form I am working in....
When I initiate the script the NAME field is filled in with the same data from another PDF that is closed.

I have looked up the 'disclosed' property and it looks like that is what I want to do..
I have "this.disclosed = true" in a PDF with the name field. On the other PDF that I want the information replicated I am going to add a javascript to an action somewhere on the document, my problem is which script do I use to get this data from the other pdf? Is the pdf that is now accessible via javascript (disclosed) a data object?

Content Aware Fill doesn't work on large images

When stitching together a large panorama, the content aware tool doesn't work if the image is >30,000 pixels. When you use the tool on large images (after I have flattened the layers and using the magic wand to select a white area at the top), it runs through the process as if it is going to fill and then after the "fill" window completes, the selected area remains white.
I noticed on some other forum posts that jpg saving couldn't occur on >30,000 pixel width images, so I changed the image size to 29,999 (from ~39,000) and the content fill tool worked.
Any ideas from the community if Adobe has a fix for this bug?

I found that I could get around this problem by doing sections instead of a complete linear fill (when you do panoramas, you tend to have a long white area on the top and bottom of the image - this is what I have been working with).
The downside with working in sections is you get some pattern matching issues so you have to go and do spot work until it looks the way you want.
Another interesting artifact from doing long linear sections is you have an edge (a line) between the fill and the original image. To remove this, I zoom very close and use the lasso tool to select only that line. Using the content fill tool to fix this is a very easy, clean solution.

Fullscreen background

How have they done they done the backgound in this site?
http://www.whitevoid.com/application.html
It looks like the backround is a linear filled m.c....
however if you were to create the background as an m.c. it would
not stretch correctly to fill the browser window... therefore
please can anyone tell me how they have done it. regrds J

the functionality of the resizing is run out of javascript at the moment, so I can't really do that.
the best thing for me to do is replace it with an AS3 based script for resizing the background, but i'm not really that talented and I can't find a tutorial that shows it in AS3... don't know where I could find one or a sample script do you?
cheers,

How to change the content of the URL on the fly.

Hi,
I am creating a label for sold items. To create this, I've created a html template which fills the data dynamically.
In Silverlight,
System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(someUri, "_blank");
is the way to open html files.
My requirement is before navigating to the page, I want to replace the data in the file. and when we navigate, it should show the modified content. So that I can print the label.
The steps are:
Read the template file
Replace the values (Don't save)
Navigate to the page with modified content.
Please advice me to get this functionality.
Thanks,
Tahnks & Regards Kiran Chinthakuntla

You can save data to a cookie and navigate to a html page which reads from that cookie to display it's contents.

Your process is silverlight > cookie
Navigate to page which is served from your server.
page reads cookie and fills itself.
Other options.
You can actually do xsl transforms from javascript within the page to build html.
Or you could pass the data as query strings, but that's a bit rubbish as the user sees them.
There was a similar question a while back you might want to search for.
I found a link which demonstrates live update between two web pages via cookie.
You could change the cookie dynamically in silverlight and that is reflected in the web pages.
I don't think that's your requirement here but....
Hope that helps.

Importing previously exported data (from local file)

After having searched to no end I still cannot find the answer to my question....
Our current environment is an SAP and FLM system (forms livecycle management) using livecycle designer for design and all users on at least reader 9.
I would like to know if it is possible for a user to fill in a form and save the entered data (to a local file) so the following week they can then open latest version of the PDF (requested from the FLM portal to be either completed online (portal) or offline (email)) they would then import the data, make any minor updates and submit. The forms should have reader extensions applied but as yet unsure of the exact settings (if any) as this happens automatically within FLM. The form shouldn’t change in future, more than some additional validation, but allow form numbers and versions within FLM to be better maintained. Plus to ensure users do not keep or use outdated forms.
From my understanding there are 2 ways to import data, either folder level javascript or via certifying the form. For our setup folder level scripts are a non-starter as would have no way to maintain these on every PC (far to many) so that leave us with certifying forms....from the limited information I have found on this it appears that the certification may break when importing data, have very very basically tested this and appears to be true.
So the last thought was if I can import data programmatically via javascript and fill fields in etc would this still have the same affect of breaking certification?
Appreciate any advice

Hi
I haven't tried the MDM Import manager..but I solved it with LSMW. I created a recording for one record entry, then I specified the rest of the data in a text file, and passed it to LSMW..It worked (almost) perfectly!
Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll give it a try some other time

A few tips about using the Text Panel

A recent question about the text panel set me to working with it and I thought I'd share some tips I discovered, since the help files don't explain the text panel at all.
At one time I called the text panel "useless", but I've changed my mind -- it's a nice thing to have. Essentially it's a quick way to instantaneously
Create a new layer with a semi-transparent layer style.
Create a rectangular shape on that layer.
Add a drop shadow effect to that shape.
All with a double-click!
You access the text panel from the "Effects" panel and its "Photo Effects" icon, choosing the "Frame" effect:
Double-clicking on it creates the layer and the shape. By default, the text panel layer has a semi-transparent layer style applied to it and this has caused great grief for those who want a completely opaque background behind some text. Not to worry, that's easily done. To whet your appetite, here are a few effects that can be achieved with the text panel:
Let's start with the "Big text" box:
Create the text panel.
Because we want an opaque panel, right-click on the shape in the Editor and select "Clear layer style". POOF! Instantly you've got an opaque white shape with no drop shadow.
Move and resize the panel. (It's still horizontal at this point.)
Add some text (which will come in on its own layer).
Size and position the text relative to the shape, and when you're satisfied, select both the shape layer and the text layer (using the Ctrl key) in the Layers panel and click on the "Link layers" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This links the shape and text so they can be moved and rotated as one. The layers wind up looking like this:
Now, let's look at the "small text" box:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel and add and position some text as before.
Because we want the text panel to be a dark grey (instead of the default white), with the text panel layer selected, select the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and select "Hue/Saturation...". Be sure to use the "Clip to layer" icon, and lower the "Lightness" value:
This gives the nice transparent grey background so the white text shows up very well, even against the bright white of the clouds.
Select all three of the layers and link them together:
Finally, you can have some fun with the "Fancy" effects:
Create the text panel.
Position the panel, add some text, and set their positions.
Add a "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer as before (clipping it to the text panel shape layer).
Colorize the text panel by using these settings:
5. Don't forget to link the layers together:
6. Double-click on the "fx" icon to the right of the text panel shape layer, which will bring up the "Layer effects" dialog box. Here you can create the bevel and adjust the size and transparency of the drop shadow.
You can also get this nice faded effect on the text panel:
After following the steps listed above, add a mask layer to the text panel shape layer and draw a gradient fill on that mask layer to fade the layer. I used a linear fill going from white to a dark gray because I wanted some of the text panel to always be showing:
N.B.: Make sure you always clip the "Hue/Saturation" adjustment layer to the text panel shape layer so that the H/S adjustments only affect the text panel.
That's it! Enjoy!
Ken

Call a function from a href in my irpt page

I have an irpt that has three rows to a table. The middle row is my iFrame. The bottom row contains my hyperlink menu selections. I would like to take my mouse over the particular word and do a hyperlink that calls a function to load the iframe with the irpt and its params. How can I call a function using a href?

What is wrong with this?
 
 
function iFrame(X) 
{ 
 var strUrl = "../Administrators/xMII_Projects.irpt?Product=" + X; 
 document.ifrReport.window.location.href = strUrl; 
} 
 
 
<td class=normalBackground nowrap> 
 div class=internalBottomButtonOpenRight> 
 a class='stylLink' href="javascript:iFrame(Cored Wire);">Cored Wire /a 
 /div 
</td> 
<td class=normalBackground nowrap> 
 div class=internalBottomButtonOpenRight> 
 a class='stylLink' href="javascript:iFrame(Filler Rod);">Filler Rod /a 
 /div 
</td> 
I purposedly removed the (<>) around 'a' and 'div' inorder for me to show you the code.

Problems with Dynamical SQL Querys on Access Databases!

This thread is for everyone who has the same problems like me.
I tried to change SQL-Querys via Javascript to fill in my PDF sheet some data from my database.
But whenever I want to change the Query, I never get some data back.
The main problem was:
THE ACCESS DATABASE
Access has locked the database whenever I tried to run the Query.
Now Iam using MySQL and everything is working fine.

Button styling LC Designer 8

Hi
Two questions: 1. why doesn't 3d styling stick in pdf view or preview 2. how to control the ugly default highlight color?
I am trying to create a button with a 3d affect. Looks great in design view, however all the styling diapears when viewed in pdf. The second issue is control of the highlighted color when the button is selected. Currently displays and puke green and no control over text color.
This is the xml
<field name="Button1" y="19.05mm" x="66.675mm" w="28.575mm" h="6mm">
 <ui>
 <button highlight="none"/>
 </ui>

 <linear type="toTop">
 <color value="255,255,255"/>
 </linear>
 </fill>
 <corner presence="hidden"/>
 </border>
 <bind match="none"/>
 </field>
Thanks in Advance

The banner at the top of the screen is called the Document Message Bar (DMB), it is purple for forms, and blue for certified or signed documents.
The document message bar can only be turned off by changing the program preferences. You can NOT script the DMB per form.
In Acrobat or Reader, you can go to Edit --> Preferences, Locate the Forms category and check the box "Always hide forms document message bar". Turning this off in Acrobat does not turn it off in Reader, each applications preferences are independent.

Any examples of using OVS in interactive forms?

Hi All,
I'm trying to use OVS input help in Adobe forms (which was suggested by OSS support as a workaround to another issue) and I see there some people in this forum asking similar questions but I don't see an answer posted in any of the threads.
When I import the SDN tutorial example for OVS "WebDynpro_OVS_Valuehelp" and I add an interactive form to it and implement a call to the OVS, nothing appears to happen.
Note that the way I implemented it (and the way OSS suggests) is to use the "value help button" from the native pallet and the and then change the Javascript by filling in the field name in this section of code: var fieldName = "*INSERT_NAME_HERE*";
So my question is, can somebody point me to a sample project that I can download and import to show me OVS working in Adobe?
Many thanks,
-Tom

Is it possible to create interactive drop down lists that reference tables on separate pages of the PDF?

I am looking to create a user input PDF in which drop down lists are utilized to search tables, however, I am not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible? Also, is it possible to write a background code that could read user inputted text to run a search or even solve some equation? Can someone let me know if these items are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be necessary to accomplish these tasks? Thanks!

PDFs have no concept of "tables" like MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.
Acrobat JavaScript does know about arrays and form fields. So one could have an array in JavaScript and fill in a series of fields that looks like a table. One can then use JavaScript to search the table.
JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user input in fields and pop-up windows.
It is possible to solve user imputed equations if the proper notation or coding is used.

AjaxServlets

I have a problem with the usage ajax on the page.
This is a class overwrites method doPost.
public class TemplateAjaxServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
String name = request.getParameter("name");
String load = request.getParameter("load");
response.setContentType("text/xml");
response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
String answer = "<save>";
if ("true".equals(load)) {
answer += "true</save>";
response.getWriter().write(answer);
response.setStatus(200);
return;
} else {
answer += "false</save>";
response.getWriter().write(answer);
response.setStatus(200);
This is javascript.
function fill() {
var name = document.getElementById("FORM:TEMPLATE_NAME").value;
var load = document.getElementById("FORM:SAVE_TEMPLATE").checked;
var req = initRequest();
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (req.readyState == 4) { /* Request processing complete */
if (req.status == 200) { /* http: success */
var url = contextPath + "/templateAjaxServlet";
req.open("POST", url, true);
req.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
var params = 'name=' + name + "&load=" + load;
req.send(params);
This js returns error on line 7 - Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.status]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: https://localhost/***.jsf :: anonymous :: line 471" data: no]
It means that req.status have not been initialized.
What I have to do to repair this error?
