Lock form but not fillable fields
I'm sure this has been discussed and the answer is somewhere, I just can't find it.
I created a form from a blank page.
When opened in Reader the user is able to move around my text and fields.
How do I lock the form from being altered and still allow people to enter their data?
The problem in WORD was likely you created the form (don't bother with the fields, do that in Acrobat) without the Adobe PDF printer selected in the print menu. WORD reflows text based on the printer attached. Thus you created the form with maybe a laser jet printer attached and then printed to PDF, changing the layout.
When I say AcroForms of forms in Acrobat, I mean using the tools at TOOLS>Advanced editing that provide the form field tools. If you use the forms menu, that typically takes you to Designer to create the form, something that may appear to be transparent. Either is OK, but it is worth being aware of how you created the forms.

Locking form but not fillable areas so Adobe Readers can use it.
I made a form in Adobe Acrobat 9 that has fillable fields in it. When I email it to people they are unable to save it. The pop-up message they get is below.
I use security setting to make it compatible with Acrobat 3.0 and above, set Permissions with Changes Allowed (Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing existing signature fields)
What do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks,In Acrobat, select: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
This will give the document certain usage rights and allow Reader users to save a modified document. -
Webutil - works in the form but not in the forms menu
Hi
Forms: 11.1.1.3
Dbs: 11.2.0.2
I have some code which calls webutil to do an AS to client file transfer.
This works fine when called from a button in the form.
If I have a menu on this form, and perform the same code to call webutil I get an error:
oracle.forms.webutil.fileTransfer.FileTransfer bean not found WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.getMaxTransfer will not work
So the same code will work when in the body of the form but not when in the menu.
The forms has opened up and instantiated all of its objects at both times I try to run it. But it fails from the menu code call.
Any thoughts on why one works and the other doesn't gratefull received.
cheers
TonyHi Tony
We also had the problem.
solution:
We have created a wrapper-form with in the webutil functionality has been implemented (with a dummy-Item).
In the form we have created a When-Timer-Expired trigger and implemented the Filetransfer functionality. Then Exit_Form.
This wrapper-form was then called from the menu.

Textbox Data Binding in VS 2008, Works on a Main form but not in a Dialog!
I got a perplexing problem here with Databindings. I'm using a POCO class for XML serialization that implements the INotifyPropertyChanged. I'm using Visual Basic 2008 and unfortunately I have to keep the program that way!
I have two projects: One is a Main WinForm, and the other one I'm working with another engineer and I'm trying to create a dialogbox for the users to enter in data (ie: user name, calibration data, etc)
In my Main Winform, I'm doing databinding like this:
TextBoxUserName.DataBindings.Add("Text", data, "Name", False, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged)
And it works fine, but when I do this in the dialogbox form, NOTHING is being updated. Not the textbox nor the data.name member (which is also a string)
So what's the problem then? How come it works in the instance of the Main Winform but not in the dialogbox?Duplicate post with :https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/04720835-d2a9-47cb-a0d9-ca457e6bb377/textbox-data-binding-in-vs-2008-works-on-a-main-form-but-not-in-a-dialog?forum=vbgeneral

Using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 I like how I can have my notifications appear on my lock screen (usually for a new email) but dislike how every time I receive a notification, my iPhone screen lights up with the notification. Is there a way to continue receiving notifications on my lock screen but not have the screen illuminate every time I receive one? It's a constant distraction when I am at work, and I like to keep my phone turned face-up on my desk in case I get a call.

Adobe 9.2. Prints some fields on a fill-in form but not others.
I am using Adobe 9.2. I filled-in the fields on a form. When I printed the form, some of the fields were printed and some were not. At first, I received a message that there was a problem and I should uninstall the application and reinstall the application. I did that and re-booted. Then it said to check for updates. I did that, found an update, installed it and re-booted. Nothing has worked. Any ideas?
You are not at the latest version of Acrobat 9. Keep updating. The latest is something like 9.5.3

How do I make a form viewable on a Blackberry, can see form but not data in fields
I have many clients using Blackberries, when they recieve a form via email, they can open the form but the fields are blank. Do I have to save the form as a certain type for then to be able to view it. Have extended the rights
Your users would have to be using a PDF viewer that supports form features. I can't recommend any in particular but you can try looking around to see what's available.

Database link works for form but not report
I have created a database link to the scott.emp table in a remote database then created a local synonym in my Portal.
I then created a Form and a Report referencing the local synonym. The for works and allows me to insert record but the form does not. The report compiles fine but I get a message that Portal can't find the underlying table. It seems that if the form works then the report should too. Does anyone have a recommended solution?
Thank you.
Sam MasiasThere is a bug filed for this issue. And it should be taken up for fixing most probably in next release.

Form guide not displaying fields
Hi,
I am creating a from guide using the RenderFormGuide component. The rendered form guide does not display any fields. I am able to preview the same XDP as a form guide in the designer, and it works perfectly fine. Are there any properties in the RenderFormGuide thats preventing the fields from being displayed?
Also, this form guide is not for use in workspace. This is to be opened up on the browser.
Thanks.
Regards,
VidyaI used the guide builder in designer to create the guide. I chose the guide layout, dragged fields to the guide through the add/bind fields option. The fields do not show up for me even with default values.
I tried to create a form guide with no fields, just the default section and panel. Even this results in the same problem.
When I pass the sample form guide that comes with designer install through the render form guide component, only the guide layout gets created - there are no sections or panels. I am wondering if i am making a mistake in setting the form guide properties?
These are the properties that I set:
Application Web Root : http://[hostname]:[portno]
base URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
Content Root URI : repository://
Target URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
The only property that I modified in the Form guide render options is "Cb = True"
Thanks.

Record disappear on the form, but not in the table
Hi,
I have a main form which ties to table tab1 and subform which ties to table
tab2
User entered a record in the main form and not completely finished and go to another form and try to setup something else. And click "Refresh All"
When the user went back to the main form, the record is lost on the form, but the record in tab1, I think information of the subform is not entered, and maybe because it is an inner join, that's it is not shown on the form?
Please advice how I can fix this or how we can prevent this in the future.
Thanks in advance.I think you are right about the inner join causing the problem. Can you post the SQL of the query you are using as the main form's record source? Usually, when you have a main form/sub form setup, each form has a table (not a query) as its record source.
If you set up the master/child links between the two it becomes an implied outer join.

How do I know if a login site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a visual lock icon in the web browser window, but not so in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/security/identity/
This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want a padlock icon also then there is this Extension.

Locking orientation but not for media.
Hi all, having a bit of a problem here. My book looks great in landscape but not in portrait (a common problem!). I can lock the orientation, however I've embedded some images using the widgets that go full screen upon tapping. I really need these images to be able to be viewed in portrait but the orientation lock applies to these images as well as the book pages. Anyway to change this?
This is so frustrating. I wouldn't have this issue if all of my content didn't disappear upon changing to portrait. I'm tearing my hair out here, I was initially delighted with the fact that Apple seemed to have created a fool-proof way of creating great eBooks but little quirks like this are ruining my designs. I'm currently sat with two entire iBooks where NOTHING works in portrait and I can't lock the orientation due to certain images needing to change orientations.

Paragraph format used in Form, but not defined in Para formats of the form.
Hi friends,
I was trying to edit a form window, which has paragraph formats of the name HN HT etc being widely used .
But when i check the paragraph format defenitions for this particular form , i dont see these being defined there.
I doubt its because of the same reason, when i try to change the editor to PC editor , the message comes "cant open PC editor,
Format HT not found" ( when i remove all HT from the ediotr , it shows that HN not found).
please help me on this .
Thanks ,
Shyam.

Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE Standard edited forms do not display fields
I have a user who has Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE Standard, she uses it to fill out an editable form created with Adobe and send it to clients. When this form is saved and attached to an e-mail, anyone who recieves it and opens it in Reader 9.0 the fields that were edited do not display. However, If It is sent through the "Send by e-mail for review" option under the "File" menu option in the Adobe Acrobat 6.0 CE. It arrives and opens up with the input data in the fields.
Can anyone tell me what the difference is and why It cannopt be opened in Reader if just sent as an attachment in Outlook?Lolanda,
Do you know if your users that cannot use the forms have access to the ADSCerts view in the Key Storage service? Check out slide 26 in the below link:

Adding image BUT not overwriting field info? Or Not saving name to DB?
I've got a database that calls the image by a link using an image path:
/images/jewelry1.jpg
The image field contains the full path in its thumbnail field or its full
size directory.
I've created an insert record behavior which allows the client to create the
path, but I want her to be able to upload the images.
Right now, the image upload and resize behavior demands a table field, but I
can't use the thumbnail field or it will overwrite the
/thumbnail/jewelry1.jpg with the image name jewelry1.jpg and I'll lose the
path.
How can I add images to the directories without updating the the wrong
fields? The same problem exists for the multiple file/image uploads. It not
only asks for the images, but then wants to save the names to a database.
ThanksSorry. I'll take care that this wont happen again.
I've two more queries. How do I store this image in a database. I'm using Access database and defined a field as OLE Object which allows me to store as either Linked or embedded object. Should I store the captured image directly or the buffered Image.
1) Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection db=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ds1","","");
Statement st=db.createStatement();
String str="insert into visitor (name,photo) values('"+t1.getText()+"','"+img+"')";
int rs=st.executeUpdate(str);
if (rs==1)
System.out.println(t1.getText());
2) The JFields whatever I've defined allowing me to enter more than what I've defined. How do I restrict those fields to the no of characters I wanted.
