Making forms question

I really do not remember what it is called so I hope someone can help me.
I need to make a pdf form where if an answer is given (through yes/no button) a new question appears.
For example, if the answer to question 1 is yes, it should show question 2. If the answer to question 1 was no, it should show question 5 next.
I need to be able to send this form via e-mail where people need to be able to fill it out, print and sign and return to me.
I hope someone can help me.
Angie

Yes. Try the LiveCycle Designer forum for more info on this issue.
It can be achieved in Acrobat forms, but it would be much more complex than
doing it in LC, and you might have to leave empty spaces in the file for
the additional questions.

Master-Detail Form Questions

Master-Detail Form Questions
I have two questions in regards to master-detail forms:
First, the form I am working on has 25 detail rows displayed to the user. If the user has more than 25 detail records for the master, I want them to be able to add more. For instance, after they enter the 25th record, I would like a pop up window to ask them if they would like to add more detail records for this master. If they select yes, then the records they have entered would be saved and then the form would repopulate with the current master record and another empty 25 detail records.
Second, I would like the Detail Action to be set to Insert if the user moves to a new detail row and selects an item from a combo box.
Thanks for any and all help.
Jeremy.

Hi Sharmila.
Is there a way to repopulate only the Master information without populating the detail after the 'Save' button is pressed? I have written code that uses the session variables and repopulates the form with all the data that has just been saved, but I need only the master without the detail.
Thanks.

Object class deployment - Basic form question

OK, I subclass calendar object from Oracle provided standard
object class. What do I need to deploy to use this form now
apart from calendar.pll and my fmx. What about the object class
from which I sub-class. Do I need to compile and deploy that
also? How will form resolve this on run time the parent object
class as I really did not copy, just sub class and we do not
deploy original class? Basic form question. Thanks.

You can set the "help" property on the field (which gives you the little "information" icon link beside the field).
You could also try adding another field of another class above or below:
<Display class='InlineAlert'/>
<Display class='ErrorMessage'/>
<Display class='HtmlPage'/>
..etc

How do I add a Handwritten Signature to my form? And other Form Questions

Hi there,
I'm making a form for parents who's kids are going to drive a motorcycle for the first time.
Now I want to use my laptop with touchscreen for people to fill it in.
the normal boxes (name, adres etc) with keyboard.
But the important part is the SIGNATURE which has to be handwritten.
It's for insurance and legal autorisation from the parents that the kid is allowed to drive and they know the risks and rules.
How do I add a box in which parents can sign.
Or is there another solution to make it legal?
Another question now I might have someones attention:
After a parent is done filling the form and presses OK or DONE
Is there a way a parent can choose to use a new blank form or the same form again without date of birth/name/sex
so he/she can fill the forms faster for the rest of the kids?
OR
Is it possible to let a parents say I have 4 kids (with a choice menu)
and the parent wil get 4 name/age/sex openings and the rest of the form will stay the same?
And
Is it possible to export the whole bunch into a excel for easy usage
Thanks in advance
and all tips are welcome!
Love
Kim

Just to share some info for this:
I used to do this sort of thing quite a bit. What I used was a scanner to scan my hand written signature to an image file. I would then paste the image file, which supported transparency, over the signature line. More recently, I used Photoshop to draw a signature saving in a transparent image file.
Just to warn you though: you are asking for legal advice, and you are not going to get that here. I would consult with an attorney to find out exactly what is legal.

Fillable forms question - FrameMaker to PDF - Without losing copy protection options

Hello,
I'm looking for a solution that will allow us to integrate fields in a Chapter Review-style question area where users can comment their answers (instead of using StickyNotes). It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements. I've dug through all of my options and can't seem to find any viable method without allowing the "Edit Content" option which allows users to copy the content.
We're currently using FrameMaker 9 but will be jumping to TCS5 soon.
As an example, we would want something like the following question, which exists in a FrameMaker document, to be commented on:
2. Which DID/DNIS mapping is recommended for mapping a single extension?
Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

> It must disallow printing/copying etc to meet content protection requirements.
ebook format copy protection is largely an illusion. Leaving aside the availability of euphemistically named "password recovery" software, the widespread availability of low-cost (often bundled free) OCR software means: If you can see it, you can recover the text, unless it's heavily CAPTCHA'd.
Even if the user is blocked from reading the computer's frame buffer (i.e., prevented from using the PrintScreen key on Windows), most cell phones now have cameras with more than sufficient resolution for full text recovery. Some users even know how to turn off the flash .
If the supposedly eyes-only document is available on the web, I would not be the least bit surprised to learn that one or more search engines has already OCR'd and indexed every word in it (you can be sure that the NSA's has).
Managers asking for copy protection need to realize that they are making the authoring task much harder for little benefit, and often creating pointless annoyance for end users. Copy protection might briefly deter casual copiers, but is no obstacle at all to anyone the least bit tech savvy.
If copy prevention really matters, each copy of the document needs to be computer-generated for the specific licensed end user, with user-customized, easily traced content.
All that aside, and assuming management can't be dissuaded on the copy protection issue, does TimeSavers support insertion of form fields while preserving security settings?

Form question in Tracker

I have successfully distributed several forms. The problem I am having is that after a while there is a red message in tracker that says "you do not have access rights to the network resource". What is this about? It seems to happen at the same time when the forms in question are no longer accessibe by the person to whom it has been directed.

Ok, now I see your perspective. The NO represents a third option. Not very clear is it for the less knowledgeable person? If I could misunderstand this so can probably others too.
I think you could fix this dilemma like this
Are you using HTTP Streaming or Flash Access 2.0?
Yes      No, none of the above
Or better still making it three choices and you could stipulate what the NO option stands for.
Are you using:
* HTTP Streaming
* Flash Access 2.0
* "Name of the third choice"

Designer is making forms incompatible

After editing forms in Designer, I am no longer able to edit the form in Acrobat Professional.
Also, Designer seems to be changing the names of botton controls within the form. For example, I named a button "DCSubmitFV1_0" within Designer. Inside Designer, the button name shows correctly, but in actuality, the button is named "F[0].P1[0].DCSubmitFV1_0[0]" making it not work with our system.
Is there a way to revert the form to the Acrobat Professional format, after the form has been edited in Designer? Or is there a way to specify how Designer really names form controls?

Hmm, big question. You'd want to get experiance by using Designer to try to do what you are doing in your AcroForms in order to get used to the new UI and field types. The biggest thing will probably be the new scripting model which is quite different. While you can still use some of the Acrobat script objects to do some things, you'll want to convert to the XFA scripting model as much as possible if you want to have success.
You can check out the Designer Dev center here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/livecycle/designer/devcenter.html . There's a link to some samples you can look at, and also a link to the XML Form Object Model document, which is extremely useful when writing script. As an example, here's what your script would like using the XFA object model. I'm just typing it into this window here, so I can't guarantee it won't have a typo or a little mistake, but should be pretty close.
var dcProceed = true;
// Get the field containers from each page.
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
if (!(this.ui.oneOfChild.className == "button") && (this.mandatory == "error") {
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "") {
app.alert("The field with name " + dcLoopField.name + " is required. Please enter a value before submitting.", 1, 0, "Field is required");
dcProceed = false;
break;
if (dcProceed) {
var dSubmit = xfa.form.formName.resolveNode("DCSubmitFV1_0");
dSubmit.presence = "hidden";
dSubmit.execEvent("click");
//where dSubmit is a submit type button that points to your URL
Also, XFA forms do not use FDF, they use XML, so depending on what you are doing on the server after the submit you may need to change what's going on there too.
Anyways, the first question I would ask if I was you is why you want to switch. If you already have everything you want working and your just switching because it is the "new" way to design forms it's probably not worth it. If your looking to take advantage of functionality it can provide that AcroForms can't, or your looking to use it with the LiveCycle server products then go for it. It's a big change with a definate learning curve, but in the end I think you'll be happy.

Conditional form questions

I am making an interactive web form the will respond in XML via E-Mail or Print & Fax methods. My issue is that I have radio buttons and I would like to make some questions/information required if one radio button is selected and not required if the other is selected.
i.e. Radio Button "Lodging Needs"
If "Yes" then require two (2) Radio Buttons for "Room Size" and "Room Type".
If "No" then the above Radio Buttons are NOT REQUIRED.
Thanks for your assistance,

I put in a sample file for your reference..
https://acrobat.com/#d=iYBBrSQfUYqgreemBuJCrA
To test this file, choose No and click on Submit button. This should open a email for you..
If you choose Yes, then it will make the other two Radio buttons as mandatory. When you click Submit, then it will display a message that some of the required fields need input..
Where to place the coe, follow the below image.
Thanks

Mail Form Question

Hi Folks,
I'm VERY new to Dreamweaver, have just created a Mail Form in
PHP and have absolutely no idea what to do with it now. It's one of
those typical forms with To:/Email:/Message: I know this is a
painfully basic question but I can't seem to find the answer in
books, training videos, my hosting provider, etc. I know I need a
URL to "point" the file to on the server but my internet host had
no idea what I was talking about.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, Cynthia

you can use php on this hosting?
I'd suggest using the phpformmail script.
here's my stock cut 'n paste on what to set to what, and why
1)go to
http://boaddrink.com
-->phpformmail
download it.
extract the ZIP file.
More detailed instructions are in the docs folder
2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
on)
2a)
line 4,
define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
change to:
define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
restrict this.
2b)
Line 43
$referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
change to the domain name of your web site.
reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
referrer
checking off. but change it anyway.
2c) *this is to hard-code the recipient address into
the php
file, where it is totally invisible *
Line 46
$recipient_array = array();
change to:
$recipient_array = array('me' =>
'[email protected]');
**of course, replace [email protected] with
the email address
you want to receive the form data. Also note the single quote
marks.
reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
sent to.
You can also make a list of possible recipient alias values-
see the readme
in the docs folder.
2d) give the script a default "From" address to use.
Go to line 41
Change:
define('FROM', null);
to:
define('FROM', 'Example Name <[email protected]>');
substituting your name and email address.
3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
this Local Site
folder. save it as anythingyouwant.php
4) in dw's File Panel, find anythingyouwant.php and upload it
to the remote
site.
5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver,
5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
<form> tag on the
lower left margin of the design window.
In the Property Inspector, it should now show the properties
of the <form>
tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
line, click the
folder icon and browse to and select the anythingyouwant.php
file
you've saved to within this site.
5b) now click within the form area and go to dw
menu-->Insert-->Form
Objects-->Hidden Field
This inserts a hidden form field.
In the property inspector, change the NAME/ID of this field
to: recipient
And the VALUE of this field to: me
the code should look like:
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
value="me">
This tells the script to use the "me" recipient_alias value
as the email
address to send the form to.
5c: Do you have a form field to collect the user's email
address?
If yes, if this field is named exactly "email" then the
script will use the
user's email as the reply to in the outgoing email
6) Save and upload the form page.
Try the form from the website.
Optional:
1-make a new page for a thank you for submitting message.
In the form, insert another hidden field.
Name: redirect
Value: the full absolute
http:// address to the new thank you page.
If you don't set a redirect value- the form script will build
a "thank you,
here is what you submitted" page. If you want to use that
dynamic page-
upload the .css file that it uses.
2- If you have a field in the form to collect the visitor's
email address,
IF you name this field in the form exactly
email then the visitor's
email address will be the Reply To address in the outgoing
email.
There are 30 or so other optional form fields to control the
form- see the
readme in the docs folder. One of those optional control
fields is
verification.

More forms questions, cannot get form to align

I tried the methods suggested here and at various sites, but could be missing something.
I cannot get the form to drop into my template. I created one at wufoo and one a freeback, published my site to a folder, then edited the page in textedit by search for my "formcode" word with the html.
The problem is the form posts at the top of the file and not on the actual page.
Any ideas why?

Thanks folks, I went ahead and bought iweb enhancer and it worked where my efforts failed. Very good program and very reasonable price as well.
Chad, the developer, is amazingly fast with replies to questions and with good advice.
I can still post the code if you are curious. I really thought I followed your instructions and still could not get it to work.
thanks again for your replies.

Designer 7x Forms Question

I'm not sure if this question has been asked or not, so here goes.
I have a list box with 50 different items in it. Depending on the item selected by my user, I want an associated interactive PDF form to be retrieved. I've set up a master page in Designer and have identified a subform (although I'm not sure if that's necessary) and have saved this file as a template.
I could take the "easy" route of just having bookmarks of all 50 PDF forms but I want to make it work "slick."
I've been searching through every bit of documentation available trying to see if this is even possible.
If there's an answer, please keep it as simple as possible. While not completely new to Designer, I'm not a programmer and if this is something that's going to require java scripting then I'm lost.
Thanks!
Barb

Hi Barbara,
Unfortunately what you want to do will require that you write some java script.
I have put together a sample with a list box that contains three files. To get the sample to work select the list box, click on the object tab and then on the binding sub-tab. Change the Value of all three Items to point to a different PDF files on your system.
If you then open the sample in acrobat and select a item from the list the associated PDF will be opened.
The files are opened by the following line of javascript which was added to the change event of the list box.
app.openDoc(xfa.form.form1.ListBox1.boundItem(xfa.event.newText));
The xfa.event.newText returns the text of the selected item.
The xfa.form.form1.ListBox1.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) returns the value associated with the selected item which is the absolute path of the PDF file to be open.
The app.openDoc(...) opens the file specified.
Hope this helps

Acrobat Forms Question

Hi there,
Quick question on forms, I created some forms in Acrobat, but when the user fills them out, they can't save and email them, it doesn't let them, how do I remove this protection?
Thanks!

Acrobat 7.0.9 also lets your users reply to forms with User Rights Enabled (albeit a bit more work in the process in Acrobat 7.0.9 than in 8 ). But it works.

Forms question - Error validation

Gurus,
I have a question .. Please suggest me a suitable answer .. I am using forms 6i, in which i have created a data block (which isnt associated with a table or any procedure), in which i have 3 items, custno (customer number), custname (customer name), toknno (token no)..Its a multi record block (displaying 10 records at a time) ..
Now when i enter value 1 in custno, ABC in custname, A1 in toknno items, and when i move to the next custno text item, if i once again enter 1 in the custno text item, immediately it should display a message stating that "value has been entered already" ... it should happen only for custno ...
One important thing is, i amnt saving changes to database .. I amnt marking the text item as a unique key (without marking as unique key in the property sheet), i should get the solution
Can any guru help me

Enrollment form question

Hi,
I have a quick question (or maybe) two about sending enrollment form. Do I have to wait for enrollment form to be accepted, before submitting application ? I've read already in some other post that I do not have to, is that right ? As far as I understand, the enrollment form will be needed only in case, when total value of all sold copies exceeds 100$, right ? And finally, what about Intel AppUp, does it work the same way as for Marketplace ?
Thanks for any clarification and answers to these questions!
best regards
Mateusz

Hi Mateusz,
Enrollment form is not required for free application. If you are submitting a paid application, you can submit your enrollment form after publishing the application. You need to ensure that you have submitted the enrollment form in order to get paid for your application that you distribute through AIR Marketplace or through your own website.
Both Intel's and AIR Marketplace's payment policies are covered in the InMarket documentation: http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/InMarket/07+Settlement+and+Payment
I would highly recommend you to go through it as it covers detailed answers to all your questions.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
