Secure, multi-section form with administrative rights

I want to create a form that has sections we'll call "yes", "no", and "maybe". Only one section is visible at any time, and only someone with administrative rights can choose which section is visible. Once the section is chosen and the form saved, that section cannot be changed by anyone without admin rights. Can this be done in Acrobat?
The proposed use process would go something like this:
1. Admin receives order and pulls the form.
2. Admin clicks "yes", "no", or "maybe" (tab? radio button?) to reveal the applicable section.
3. Admin fills in some portions, saves the form, and passes it down the line.
4. Down the line, the form is opened and the rest of the form is filled. If "yes", "no" or "maybe" is clicked, nothing happens because this user has no admin rights.
5. The completed form is saved.
I know it would save a lot of effort to make three separate forms. The reason for the single, multi-section form is so the other two sections can be filled on a later date. This saves the effort of refilling the other parts of the form with same data, or changing same data on three separate forms. In addition, admin can open a filled form and click among the different sections to review each section off the one form.
Did that make sense? If so, can it be done in Acrobat?

Please also tell me if what I have in mind can't be done so I can stop chasing this idea.

Multi-stage form completion

Hi,
I have been searching for an answer to this for a few hours and hopefully someone can answer it for me.
In head office, we have created a form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. (We also have a license for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro)
Currently the form is submitted using an email submit button which sends a copy of the PDF back to our head office - this works fine.
However, what we need to do is this:
1. Someone fills out the first part of the form which is an application for a position within the organisation.
2. This then needs to be submitted to the next person in the chain of command, where they will write their comments regarding the application and tick either "Supported" or "Not Supported"
3. There can be as many as 6 levels that the form needs to pass through, each time collecting more information until is finally received at head office for processing.
The problem we have is that most of the people in the chain only have Adobe Reader - which is fine for just the basic filling out of the form and submitting, but it doesn't allow the next person to fill in the next part of the form.
My question is this:
- Is there any way to do this with the software we currently have?
- if not, what would we need to purchase to allow this process to happen
- if there is inexpensive non-Adobe solution that anyone is aware of, I would also be interested in the details. (Remembering that we are not-for-profit and do not have money to purchase expensive licenses for the many people that are involved).
Thank you very much for any assistance you may be able to provide.

You will need to Reader Extend the file to allow Reader to do a local save.This can be done in Acrobat and is a one time operation.
Open the form in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose Extend Reatures in Adobe Reader. Just follow teh wizard and distribute te saved form from that wizard.

Creating a cfhttp multi part form post for google docs upload

Hey all,
If you saw my last thread, you know I am working with google docs and uploading documents to it. Well I got basic document uploading working, but now I am trying to include meta data. Google requires you to include the metadata with the actual file data and seperate them by using a multi part form upload. I don't know exactly the process for doing so, but they have a handy code snippet of the desired results at
http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#UploadingDoc s
So I am basically trying to mimic that payload, however I am continually getting an error stating that there are no parts in a multi part form upload.
<errors xmlns='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'><error><domain>GData</domain><code>InvalidEntryException</code><internalReason>No parts detected in multipart message</internalReason></error></errors>
to be exact. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong here. I figure it is one of two things, either I am not including the actual data in the payload properly (I am currently using a body type param for the payload, but I have also tried a formfield named content to deliver it. Neither worked). So maybe I need to do something else tricky there? The other thing which I am not reallly sure about is the content-length attribute. I don't know exactly how to calculate that, and I read in another forum that a content length attribute was messing that guy up. Right now I am just taking the lenght of the payload string and multiplying by 8 (to get the number of bytes for the entire payload) but hell if I know if that is right. It could be I just don't know how to set up the parts for the message, it seems pretty straight forward though. Just define a boundary in the content-type, then put two dashes before it wherever you define a new part, and two dashes trailing the last part.
Anyway, here is my code, any help is much appreciate. I'm a bit beyond my expertise here (not really used to trying to have to roll my own http requests, nevermind multipart post form data) so I'm kinda flailing around. Thanks again.

Multiple form fill-ed's open at one time - crashing

I have many form fill-ed documents created using Live Cycle. Issues have been reported regarding adobe shutting down in the middle of filling out a form. Tow of our employees have this crashing issue. They both have Windows 7; Adobe Reader XI, and IE X. I have trouble shooted several different options. I have used the acrobat_ittools_cleaner to remove old acrobat (recommended by acrobat).
I had the Two employees use one form fill at a time to determine the cause of the crashing. If they use only ONE form at a time, there is not crashing. The minute they open two forms, and start to fill in the form, it crashes.
These forms are not new, They worked fine with mulitple forms open in the past. I created these forms in Live Cycle (which came with Acrobat Pro 9). I figured with the added security in Acrobat XI, I needed to update the forms using Live Cycle Designer ES4. That did not help either.
What else can I do to correct this problem?

Maggie,
There are some things you need to consider:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_mass_update()
var counter = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < document.wwv_flow.f03.length; i++)
{var curr_id = document.wwv_flow.f03.id;
if ($x(curr_id).value == 'COMPLETE')
{$x(curr_id).value = 'CANCELED';
$x(curr_id).style.color = "darkred";
$x(curr_id).style.fontWeight = "bold";
$x(curr_id).style.background = "yellow";
$x(curr_id).style.width = "103px";
counter = counter + 1;}}
if (counter == 0)
{alert ('There are no more statuses to change!');}
else {alert(counter + ' Records updated!');}
</script>is the correct script if you escape COMPLETE as 'COMPLETE' and CANCELED as 'CANCELED'. The same rules apply for javascript as for the most other programming languagas - numbers do not need to be escaped but character strings do.
The second thing is the question of your tabular form id. In my case it was f03 but in your case it is probably different. If you created a wizard tabular form and didn't touch it, you could count the columns.
If your column is the first editable column than it will be f03. The second will be f04 and so on. My recomendation is to use Firefox and download the extension Firebug. With firebug you can do HTML > Inspect and go with the mouse over any element on your page. Click on the actual tabular form cell and it will show you some code like this:
<input type="text" id="f03_0001" value="10" maxlength="2000" size="16" name="f03"/>so, the name of the element is f03.

Last pass password manager and auto form filler have disappeared from my tool bar. How do I get them back or do I have to start all over again.

I am using Windows Vista. Both LastPass and the auto form filler have disappeared from my toolbar. Is there a way to retrieve this information or do I need to start again?

Do those extensions still show as installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions?
If not then it is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":

If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file if toolbar buttons are missing.

How to enable a field on the person form?

Hello,
I am working in UK Legislation and I need to enable a greyed out field on the person screen. It's the "Disabled" field (to capture the disability of an employee).
This might sound an easy thing to do but I couldn't find any function or profile option that controls this. I couldn't find any metalink note on this. Could any one tell me how to do this or let me know of any metalink note on this?
Many Thanks,
Baloo

Both answers were helpful. Thanks a lot.
In the interest of other users I am pasting the answer below:
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) is the main piece of legislation which makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person in their terms of employment, promotion opportunities, by dismissing them or by subjecting them to any other detriment. This act had been further amended, cumulating in the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 which is related to disability generally and extends outside the area of employment although some provisions will relate to employees.
Parts of the Act came into force in December 2005, other parts relating for example to transportation are applicable from December 2006. The above provisions replaced the concept of Registered Disabled Persons and
employment quotas which had been in existence since after the second world war.
In releasing the enhanced Disabilities functionality, it was intended to facilitate the maintenance of disability records through the Disability form and not the Disabled field on the person form.

How to commit primary key in a multi level form

Hi ,
I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.2.3. ADF - Struts jsp application.
I have an application that has multiple levels before it finally commits, say:
Level 1 - enter name , address, etc details -- Master Table Employee
Level 2 - Add Education details -- Detail Table Education
Level 3 - Experience -- Detail Table Experience.
Level 4 - adding a Approver -- Detail Table ApplicationApproval
In all this from Level 1 I generate a document number which is the primary key that links all these tables.
Now if User A starts Level 1 and moves to level 2,he gets document no = 100 and then User B starts Level 1 and also gets document no = 100 because no commit is executed.
Now I have noticed that system crashes if User B calls a vo.validate().
How can I handle this case as Doc no is the only primary key.

Hi,
This is what my department has been doing even before I joined and its been working for our multi user environment for these many years.
We have a table called DOC_SRNO which will hold a row for our start docno , next number in running sequence. the final number. We have this procedure that returns next num to calling application and increments the next num by 1 in the table. and final commit on the application commits all this.
I am not sure how this was working so far but each of those applications were for different employees. I am assuming this is how it worked.
Now in the application that I am working on, has no distinct value. So two users could generate the same docno and proceed.
I will try the DB sequence but here is what I tried. I call the next num from DOC_SRNO and I commit this table update and then proceed with this docno so at a time both gets different docno's.
But my running session crashes when I go to next level to insert into the detail table of my multi level form. Here when I try to get the current row from the vo which is in context, it crashes.
Here's the steps.
Three tables : voMainTable1 and voDetailTable1 and voDetailTable2.
voMainTable1 on create row1- I generate new docno - post changes
voMainTable1 on create row2- I genrate another docno - post changes
set voMainTable1 in context
Now I call voDetailTable1 and to get the docno to join master detail, I try to get voMainTable1.getCurrentRow. Here it crashes.
How can I avoid this

How do I create a form that enables the user to save the form filled in?

When I create the form, save it and open it later, I get the message that the form can only be saved empty - without whatever the user filled into the text fields. Why is this and how can I enable the form to be saved including the content of the fields?

It should only say that when used with Reader versions prior to version 11. If you have Acrobat, you can Reader-enable the form, allowing it to be saved in versions prior to 11, and 11 as well. Exactly how you do this depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
A9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
A10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
A11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)

Hi,
I understand that when you click on Edit this task in the message bar in InfoPath 2010, nothing happens. Does this happen when you open the email which contains the ‘Edit this task’ link?
If so, you can try to check whether this key is in your regedit. If so, you can delete this key and have a test.:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

MS Word 2007 form fill in

I have a document in MS Word 2007 that is a fillable form. I want to save it to Adobe Pro and retain the form fill in capabilities. I just downloaded ADOBE Premier Pro. I would like instructions on how to do this. Thanks.

I moved this thread to the Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs forum.
Depending on how the word document is formated I believe Adobe Acrobat Professional maybe able to detect it as a form. You can try the trial at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en.
