JS - Close Form Action Button

Hello!
I'm not sure if this would be the best forum for this, but here is my question:
I'm trying to make 2 forms that link together, and so far I have been successful in attaching one PDF in another, so that it opens the attachment when you click a button. My boss requested that there be some sort of way to go back to the original form, since it may be confusing for some people once the attachment is opened, because it appears over the original document and covers it.
I apologize if this is convoluted, but the only solution I could think of was to have the attachment appear in a new window, with a JS button with an action that will "close" the attachment. But I am not sure if this is even possible.
I know this is redundant (why couldn't they just hit the red x in the corner??) but when dealing with non-technology people, sometimes you have to make it as blatantly obvious as humanly possible.
Would anyone know a way to make a button that does this? Or have another solution that might work better?
Thank you so much in advance! I apologize if my request requires further clarification.
Best Regards,
Ashley

One of the options in a button's action is to execute a menu item... Use it
and select File - Close.
You can also use a script, if you want. The code below will close a file
without prompting the user to save it, even if it was edited.
this.closeDoc(true);

Converting PowerPoint with Action Buttons To PDF Form Question

I am currently using Acrobat Pro 9.5.0 on Win 7 and Win XP sp3
I have created Power Point Slide with one Action Button. When I set the Action Button to Hyperlink to a video file, and use Acrobat > Form > Start from Wizard ..", the PDF file created by Acrobat has my Action Button as a field.   This field allows the click of this field to execute a certain action.   This is what I want.
When I set the Action Buttion to hyperlink to an internal slide on my Power Point presentation (which has video inserted on that slide), and when I use Acrobat > Form > Start from Wizard ..", the PDF file created by Acrobat doesn't have my Action Button as a field.    It appears just as a regular pdf with no fields.
Is there a way to get the wizard to convert my Action Button when I hyperlink to a slide to show up as a field (as in hyperlinking to an external file) ???
I am using PPT 2007 (which doesn't allow true embedding of video within the PPT slide.   On PPT 2010 has this embedding feature.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank You,
G

Hi Pascal,
Add this script to the click event of your button. It will close the window containing the form.
app.execMenuItem("Close");

Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

I have created many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
Can this be done ??
Any suggestions where to start ??
Thank You,
G

NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

HTML Form Submit Button to call a procedure

hi! been looking high and low across all forums and it seems there are specific users like myself having problems with submit button and pl/sql procedures. Hope someone can clarify on this.
Scenario: created a html/dynamic page with a submit button(no java scripts, just plain <form action="schema.procedure" method="post"> etc) to pass values into a procedure to update database. In my case, i've hard coded the values in the procedure for testing purpose(thus my procedure don't receive any in parameters).
Problem:
Clicking on Submit button will result a page not found error.
Solution read so far:
Ensure that at least the Public has been granted Execute Access on that procedure, which i find funny cos I am logged in as the adminstrator having all the rights, heck, i even created the schemas, procedures and tables.
Result for me:
Page not found displayed, but when I highlight the url on that page (which is the complete address)and press Enter, the procedure went through and display the message in my procedure?!
But if I clik on a link (pointing to the same procedure), the procedure went through immediately.
I have tried:
a) clearing the browser cache
b) deleting archive versions of the page
c) entering the whole address
d) recreate the html page using pl/sql
but still the same problem.
Any advise on this? Is this a bug? how to go around this?
Rgds.

Hi,
I did the following :
1) created a procedure called test1 in schema portal30
create or replace procedure test1
as
begin
htp.p('Hi there');
end;
2) granted it to public
grant execute on test1 to public;
3)created a dynamic page like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form action='portal30.test1'>
<input type="Submit" value="click me">
</Form>
<H1>Example of A Dynamic Page</H1>
<ORACLE>select * from PORTAL30_DEMO.emp where deptno = :department</ORACLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
4) ran the dynamic page ,works fine
Thanks,
Anu

Problems with file uploading servlet, the form action doesnt capture url

Hi, i have one problem. I am working on a project , i have created a servlet that takes uploaded files and processses them and links them back to user to download. The servlet works perfectly from my computer, I am using apache-tomcat-6.0.16 and java 1.6 , I have two forms called encrypt.html and decrypt.html, I will post both of them, now the problem is when somebody access it on the internet while i am running apache, they get a connection was reset on a firefox browser and same stuff on Internet Explorer.
i have checked my server logs and saw nothing unusual there, So please if you can help me, it is my project.
I am pasting html file and error message that other users where getting remotely.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=utf-8'>
<title>Stego Form</title>
<link rel='STYLESHEET' type='text/css' href='encrypt.css'>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<form name='encrypt' enctype='multipart/form-data' method='POST' action='http://localhost:8080/examples/temp2
' accept-charset='UTF-8'>
<input type='hidden' name='sfm_form_submitted' value='yes'>
</input>
<input type='hidden' name='eord' value='e'>
<select name='encryption' size='1'>
         <option value='Select an encryption' selected>
         Select an encryption
         </option>
         <option value='DES'>
         DES
         </option>
         <option value='Tripple DES'>
         Tripple DES
         </option>
</select>
         <input type='file' name='overt' size='20'>
         <input type='file' name='covert' size='20'>
         <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>so it works for me even if i access the page with my ip , but for others it doesnt work,
now the user got this xhtml page that i will show, i cant find attach button so i am pasting here.

Hi, thank you for your replies, I found out few things about my servlet, and its portability
and i have few questions, although i marked this topic as answered i guess its ok to post
I am using javax.servlet.context.tempdir to store my files in that servletcontext temporary directory. But i dont know how to give hyperlink
of the modified files to the user for them to download the modified files.
What i am using to get the tempdir i will paste
File baseurl = (File)this.getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
System.out.println(baseurl);
baseurl = new File(baseurl.getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"temp"+File.separator+"files");
baseurl.mkdirs();so i am storing my files in that temp/files folder and the servlet processes them and modifies them, then how to present them as
links to the user for download ?
and as the servlet is multithreaded by nature, if my servlet gets 2 different requests with same file names, i guess one of them will be overwritten
And i want to create unique directory for each request made to the servlet , so file names dont clash.
one another thing is that i want my servlet to be executed by my <form action> only, I dont want the user to simply type url and trigger the servlet
Reply A.S.A.P. please..
Thanks and regards,
Mihir Pandya

Still no solution to adding a 'close this window' button to a page

Hi can anyone help please with this problem? I have used the following html in snippets
<form>
<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form>
which shows a button but it does not close the window in all browsers e.g. not in Safari beta or firefox.
Thanks in anticipation
Jimbob

Where do you see the target='_top"? I went looking for the original button from my original post which was in the http://web.me.com/toad.hall/HelperSite//Page1_files/widget3markup.html page via the Activity window and view source and this is what the code of that widget page is:
<xmp>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title></title></head><body><form>
<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form> </body></html>
</xmp> (Ignore the <xmp></xmp> tags when using)
I don't see the target='_top" in there. What am I missing? This was my first post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9134142#9134142.
Thanks for the help.

File Upload Action Button are not working

Hi ,
In the File Upload Process when the processor are open change request there are Action Buttons Approve/Reject ,
When the CR Processor are Click on either Approve or Reject these two Action Button are not working (means its not show any activity) , while rest of all action button like save,close check , Run validation are working ...
While Processor has authorization to Approve/Reject that CR ...

Hello Nikhilesh
These buttons are dependent upon the workflow steps. Check that. Check the linkage for workflow. Check SWI6 - CR number and the step. Based on the step you can identify whether the proper step is assigned or not.

Why is my fillable pdf "Email to" action button giving security warning. Can someone help me?

I created a fillable pdf form with an action button that I would like users to use when submitting forms via email. I have double-checked to make sure of the correct email address, but I keep getting a security warning pop up. It states: "This document is trying to connect to: file..." and when I click allow it tells me I need to be running inside a browser to submit the form. All I want to do is allow users to send their form to a specific email address. Please help. I needed this assignment completed yesterday.

No, I am not opening the file in a browser window. I was trying to preview the file to make sure that it would work when it was sent to the individual via email. Will the function only work if the user downloads it from a web page? If so, that might explain a great deal.

From the HTTP spec (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html):
14.36 Referer
The Referer[sic] request-header field allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the Request-URI was obtained (the "referrer", although the header field is misspelled.) The Referer request-header allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. The Referer field MUST NOT be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard.
Referer = "Referer" ":" ( absoluteURI | relativeURI )
Example:

Form Reset Button.. works in Pro., Doesn't in Reader

I created a form in MS Word 2007 and converted to Actobat Pro 9.2.0 and included a reset and print button.
When opening the document in Reader 8.1.3, the reset button only resets some of the fields, although all of the fields are checkmarked in the reset dialog. Also, when I click the print button, nothing happens. I've created dozens of Acrobat forms with reset and print buttons and this is the first time I've noticed that they aren't working in Reader.
Both functions work fine in Pro. Yes, I am sure that the button behavior is linked to a specific action such as >File>Print for the Print Button. This happens on more than one computer, so I don't think the problem lies with just my machine.
Any ideas?

As a test, what happens if you replace the Reset Form action with the following JavaScript?
// Reset all form fields
resetForm();

Disabling Action Button for only manager in Manager Self Service

Hi people,
I have a requirement in SSHR. I created one SIT for training assessment and added this function to Manager Self Service. So, if a manager logs into the system and clicks this function, he will be able to see the subordinates reporting to him. He can choose Action button against any of them to fill the assessment form. But the Action button is also visible against the manager name. My client Wants the Action button to be hided for Manager (as manager should not be allowed to fill his own form) and only wants action button to visible for subordinates reporting to him. Is there any way to achieve this through any profile option or personalisation
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure if it is possible through personalization please, give a try.. If this doesnt work I think you can go for user hook and put validation like if selected person is same as initiator then throw an error.
Thanks,
Avinash

Calling PLSQL Stored Procedure From HTML Form Submit Button

Hi there,
I am having a little difficulty with calling a stored procedure using an html form button. Here is the code I have right now...
HTP.PRINT('<form action=ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete>');
HTP.PRINT('<input type=''submit'' value='' Yes '' onClick=''document.getElementById("mypopup").style.display="none"''>');
HTP.PRINT('</form></div>');Here is the issue - I need to find a way to pass variables to this stored procedure so it know what data to operate on. This stored procedure will delete data for a specific database record and I must pass three variables to this procedure to make it work.
Lets call them class_number, term, conf These three variables will be passed and the data will be deleted and the person will see a confirmation screen once the delete query has been executed.
So ideally I would want: ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete(class_number, term, conf) and then the stored procedure would handle the rest!
Seems pretty simple but I am not sure how to make this happen... My thoughts were:
Pass the data to this html form (the three fields I need) in hidden variables. Then somehow pass these using POST method to the procedure and read using GET?
Can someone clarify what the best way to do this is? I have a feeling its something small I am missing - but I would really like some expert insight :-)
Thanks so much in advance!
- Jeff

This stored procedure will delete data for a specific database record and I must pass three variables to this procedure to make it work. The browser generates a POST or a GET for that form action, that includes all the fields defined in that form. Let's say you define HTML text input fields name and surname for the form. The URL generated for that form's submission will be:
http://../ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete?name=value1&surname=value2The browser therefore submits the values of the form as part of the URL.
The web server receives this. It sees that the base URL (aka location) is serviced by Oracle's mod_plsql. It passes the URL to this module. This module builds a PL/SQL block and makes the call to Oracle. If we ignore the additional calls it makes (setting up an OWA environment for that Oracle session), this is how the call to Oracle basically looks like:
begin
ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete( name=> :value1, surname => :value2 );
end;Thus the PL/SQL web enabled procedure gets all the input fields from the HTML form, via its parameter signature. As you can define parameter values with defaults, you can support variable parameter calls. For example, let's say our procedure also have a birthDate parameter that is default null. The above call will still work (from a HTML form that does not have a date field). And so will the following URL and call that includes a birth date:
URL:
http://../ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete?name=value1&surname=value2&birthdate=2000/01/01
PL/SQL call:
begin
ZWGKERCF.P_confdelete( name=> :value1, surname => :value2, birthdate => :value3 );
end;There is also another call method you can use - the flexible 2 parameter interface. In this case the PL/SQL procedure name in the URL is suffixed with an exclamation mark. This instructs the mod_plsql module to put all input field names it received from the web browser into a string array. And put all the values for those fields in another string array. Then it calls your procedure with these arrays as input.
Your procedure therefore has a fixed parameter signature. Two parameters only. Both are string arrays.
The advantage of this method is that your procedure can dynamically deal with the web browser's input - any number of fields. The procedure's signature no longer needs to match the HTML form's signature.
You can also defined RESTful mod_plsql calls to PL/SQL. In which case the call format from the web browser looks different and is handled differently by mod_plsql.
All this (and more) is detailed in the Oracle manuals dealing with mod_plsql - have a search via http://tahiti.oracle.com (Oracle Documentation Portal) for the relevant manuals for the Oracle version you are using.
Alternatively, simply download and install Oracle Apex (Application Express). This is a web development and run-time framework and do all the complexities for you - including web state management, optimistic locking, security and so on.

Create Form Print Button

Acrobat 10.1.2
Mac Snow Leopard
I am not particularly experienced with Acrobat fillable forms but I've created 6 or 7 that work pretty well. My question is how do I create a Print (or Email) button on the form so that when a user filling in the form using Reader can print the form and /or email it to someone? Do I have to use Java Script to do this? Anyone have an example?
Thanks
John

To print you can set up a button to execute the "File > Print" menu item or the doc.print JavaScript method. The latter is documented here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.511.html
There are quite a number of options, but at its simplest you can just do:
// Show Print dialog
print();
If you want to email the entire filled-in document, you have to Reader-enable the document, assuming it needs to work with Reader. This should be the last thing you do before distributing it. Reader users will then be able to save and manually attach it to an email as they can with other types of files. You can also set up a button to initiate the email, either using a "Submit a Form" action or the doc.submitForm JavaScript method, or the doc.mailDoc JavaScript method, or by using the Distribute method in Acrobat. The latter will cause a Submit button to appear in the purple forms document message bar that appears at the top of the page display area.
