Newbie and floating fields

Hi, I'm a newbie to LCD and I'm currently working with LCD as apart of my job... I'm currently working on and XDP that has floating fields defined within the document, i.e. {floatingfield} however within my XDP there is a piece of text defined as %signature% does anybody know what the %'s indicate/mean?
Is there any useful guides for a newbie to LCD.
Thanks

Sorry,
Here is the good one !

  • What am I doing wrong when trying to create a floating field?

    I am trying to create a floating field that is 'connected' to a global Text field. To my opinion I followed all instructions as in the help file, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyhow, the information I type in the text field does not pop-up in the text. I have setup the floating field as follows:
    Type = Text field
    Appearance = none (I do not want a box or something around the text)
    Field format = plain text
    Presence = hidden (excluded from layout)
    Value = calculated (read only); I have tried all other options too, but nothing seem to work
    Calculation script
    Binding = global (and name is the name as used for the text field)
    I have used another text field that is connected to the same text field as referred to above and that works just fine.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks!

    If anyone is following this thread, I found the solution to my problem where the Floating Fields did not work.  BTW, I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 4.
    Under Form Properties/Defaults, you need to change "Choose Target Version" to "Adobe and Adobe Reader 9.1 or later".  Save the change, and floating fields should work now. 

  • Floating fields and fragment subforms in Outlook 2007 do not display correctly

    I'm using LCES Forms 8.0 Update 1 to render a non-interactive HTML forms using dynamic content (customer info). The email appears ok in clients except in Outlook 2007.
    The Floating text and Text Fields appear multiple times on the form (scattered around their placement point on the form) and the subform fragments are appearing with borders surrounding them.
    I have heard that there are issues with Outlook 2007 not displaying HTML correctly. Is there a way to setup the Text Fields/Subforms in Designer so they display correctly in Outlook 2007?
    Thanks!

  • Union two tables with diffrent count of fields with null and float value

    Hello,
    i want to union two tables, first one with 3 fields and second one with 4 fields (diffrent count of fields).
    I can add null value at end of first select but it does not work with float values in second table. Value form second table is convert to integer.
    For example:
    select null v1 from sessions
    union
    select 0.05 v1 from sessions
    result is set of null and 0 value.
    As workaround i can type:
    select null+0.0 v1 from sessions
    union
    select 0.05 v1 from sessions
    or simple change select's order.
    Is any better/proper way to do this? Can I somehow set float field type in first select?
    Best regards,
    Lukasz.
    WIN XP, MAXDB 7.6.03

    Hi Lukasz,
    in a UNION statement the first statement defines the structure (number, names and types of fields) of the resultset.
    Therefore you have to define a FLOAT field in the first SELECT statement in order to avoid conversion to VARCHAR.
    Be aware that NULL and 0.0 are not the same thus NULL+0.0 does not equal NULL.
    In fact NULL cannot equal to any number or character value at all.
    BTW: you may want to use UNION ALL to avoid the search and removal of duplicates - looks like your datasets won't contain duplicates anyhow...

  • Floating fields and added pages

    Hi everybody,
    My problem is to know how I could bind some floating fields when I get several pages. The user fill in the page 1 of a form and the text appear on the page 1 and on the two following cards. But, but it doesn't work when I add many pages. The text is different on the page 2 and so on.

  • Generic data source with float field possible?

    Hello,
    when creating an generic data source using a view with a float field I get error R8359 (extract structure: You tried to generate an extract structure with the template structure .... This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field ... refer to a different table.).
    I changed the data element from ATFLV to e.g. FLOAT but it did not help.
    SAP hint 335342 deals with this issue, but I just want to use the float number without the unit.
    Is this possible or do I need to write a function module?
    Best regards
    Thomas

    Hi,
    you could try to add the unit table and field to your view. When saving the datasource in RSO2, you can choose to hide these fields if you don't want them extracted into BW.

  • Comparison with a float field

    Hi,
    I have to compare two float fields, one fetched from database and one passed as importing parameter.
    Now, i get "0.1" as a value in importing parameter for comparison. and the same is stored in the database, i.e. "0.1".
    But when I put a select query on the table and read the value, the value i get is 9.9999999999999995E-02.
    as a result, my comparison fails and the rest of logic crumbles.
    I am aware of the usual standard - not to compare two float variables, but in this case, it is a equipment reading - it has to be in float, which i am comparing against a threshold, which again has to be float.
    Is there any way to fix this through ABAP program?

    There are no conversion exits for floating type of data fields.
    The fields used for comparison are MRMIN, and MRMAX from the table IMPTT.

  • Floating Fields CSS2 directives not honored

    I have a form whose boilerplate will be dynamically populated based on a XML file. The variable content is bound to a floating field, and there is a draw that references this floating field. The issue is that the orphan and page break control CSS tags (orphans, widows, page-break-inside) are not honored when they are referenced from a floating field. See referenced form.

  • Floating Fields with Designer ES2

    I just did an upgrade to Designer ES2.
    I created a new form with static textfields and floating textfields
    then i created a button that filles the floating field with a text using javascript.
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[0].Textfield1").rawValue
    = "it doen't work";
    But it doesn't work
    When i make the floating field visible, so i see the normally hidden field, the i see that the script works, but that te tekst doesn't show in my static textfield
    Anyone else with this problem?
    Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
    In the previous Designer ES it worked fine and opening those forms in ES2 still work
    But creating a new form with a floating text doesn't work

    I reinstalled Both Designer 8.x and ES2 several times, but i have the same problem with both versions.
    Now i only have Designer 8.x installed on my WinXP.
    i created a new empty form and add a static text field and a button.
    within that static textfield i insert a floating field.
    i add a Formcalc script to the click function of the button: Field.rawValue = "hello"
    i save it as a dynamic form.
    preview the form and when i click the button nothing happens
    Then i change the presence of the floating field to visible, so a normally hidden field is visible
    Now without changing anything i preview the document en click on the button
    Now i see the text in the field i just made visible, but still not in the static textfield where i inserted that floating field.

  • Floating Fields

    I am trying to add a Floating Field into the body of some text on my form.
    This field will simply add the first name of the customer into the text paragraph.
    When I select the location where I want the field and insert it, {TextField} appears.
    I then create another text field (also named TextField) on the form that I want to link to this one.
    However, the customer's name never appears into the floating field.
    Is there a proper way to link them?
    Thanks,
    MN.

    If I understand correctly, you want the floating field to reflect what someone has typed in a field somewhere else? So if they type in their name as Hubert, when they scroll down the floating field will also show Hubert?
    If that's correct, then I don't think it can be done, as floating fields are basically variables in static text, and I don't think static text can dynamically change like that after the form is rendered. Floating fields need to be bound to some data source (ie: xml data, or database) where the value is available before the form is rendered.
    You could probably do what you want using a Text Field instead of a floating field, but you wouldn't be able to inbed the Text Field in static text (though you may be able to design it so that the user doesn't realize this).

  • Floating Fields with .replace()

    Hi All,
    I'm having a problem with my floating fields.
    I have a variable declared in my function (floatingFunction), lets call the variable sPara.
    to sPara I assign a long Paragragh for example; sPara = "I, the undersigned FN in my capacity as a CP..." 
    In my hierarchy structure I have foating fields: fullName and capacity and an empty text call it displayfield, these three are in a subform hdDisplayText
    I also have  textfields called fullName & capacity.
    On exit event of the fullName textfield I have these two lines :
    header.hdDisplayText.fullName.rawValue= this.rawValue; floatingFunction.sPara
    = floatingFunction.sPara.replace('FN', this.rawValue);
    and on prePrint event of hdDisplayTest subform I have this:
    this.presence= 'visible';displayfield.rawValue
    = floatingFunction.sPara;
    When u click the print button for the first time it works fine, now the second time you enter a different Full Name and click print, it still prints what you entered the first time, now that is my problem, I've tried xfa.host.resetData(); after printing but that didnt help. Please assist, please.

    Ok I got it, I 'nm using xfa.form.remerge() just after printing.

  • Hide floating field

    Hi everyone,
    I know this is pretty comon question. But somehow its not working for me so pls help.
    I have a text element with 4 floating fields in it one below the other. I want to hide the 3rd floating
    Field if it has null value and the 4th floating field should move up to the 3rd floating field position. I tried java script on the 3rd floating field, also tried wrapping all the elements in a subform and had a java script at subform level. Still did not work. Please suggest.
    Appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Is there any reason for its being a floating field...?
    If i were you I do the below.
    Lets say you have 4 fields to be displayed one below the other in the text object.
    So for these fields I create hiddenfields rathar floating.
    On the text object I have on floating field.
    On the form ready event of this floating field, I concatenate the 4 hidden fields value excluding the null ones and separated by "\n". "\n" is for javascripting new line.
    There might be otherway which I am not aware of.
    But this is simple....what do you say ...?
    Cheers,
    Sai.

  • Printing 2 copies of a document where a floating field change

    hi experts,
    Context:
    I have an interactive form compiled by a user.
    when compiling is finished, I'd need to print 2 copies of that document; the 2 copies are exactly the same but a floating field that has to change, i.e. 'Copy for ME' and 'Copy for the CUSTOMER'.
    Placing  2 print buttons it's not a problem, in the first button I set the Floating field to 'Copy for ME' and send a print command, in the second I do exactly the same with the 'Copy for the CUSTOMER'.
    Which is the best strategy to print those 2 copies clicking the print button only once and showing the printing window only once with the whole printing spool (2 copies)?
    Best regards,
    Dariush.

    Try this in a click event of a "Print Form" object:
    form1.#subform[0].PrintButton1::click - (JavaScript, client)
    // First copy (with printer dialog):
    xfa.host.messageBox("Company copy (send this copy for blah blah blah)","Printer:");
    TextField1.rawValue="COMPANY COPY";
    xfa.event.re
    xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    // Second copy (without printer dialog):
    TextField1.rawValue="CUSTOMER COPY";
    xfa.host.messageBox("Customer copy (save this copy for blah blah blah)","Pritner:");
    xfa.host.print(0, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    The problem is messagebox. if second messagembox line is omited, no changes shown in texfield1 fields .
    First messagebox can be ommited but second messagebox sentence is mandatory.
    Other idea is using "post print" event for "reprint" entire form but untested for me.

  • Create Multiple Signature and Date fields with a custom Toolbar Button

    First off, thanks in advance!  I am a scripting newbie and I am trudging my way through with very little experience with scripting of any kind.  I am good at taking other's scripts and forming them into something I need, but I can't seem to find anything to do what I want.
    Using Adobe Acrobat X, I am trying to create a toolbar button that I can press to create multiple signature and date fields with predetermined locations.
    Below is the script I have that is working to create just a single signature box, but I can't seem to figure out the exact syntax to have that same button create multiple fields.  In total it is 9 signature fields and 9 date fields need to be created.  If you can just give me an example of what the button would look like with multiple scripts?  I was assuming I would set up multiple variables and then in the cExec property of the toolbar button I could just call out all of those variables? 
    var sigswm = "addField('sigSWM', 'signature', '0', [108, 198, 494.64, 72])"
    app.addToolButton({cName: "dotbutton", cExec: sigswm, cLabel: "Place Signature and Date Blocks",});
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
    Billy Sweeney

    Thanks!  That was probably the only thing I didn't try.
    I do have one more question.  What I want is when the signature field is clicked it fills out a specific date field. I beleive the script I want would be:
    var currentTime = new Date()
        var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
        var day = currentTime.getDate()
        var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
        var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year
        var f = this.getField("dateSWM"); 
        f.value = signingTime;
    I found this on another thread that mentioned it could be placed in the Signed tab of the signature properties dialog.  I am assuming it would be placed in my button script file as a setAction script for each signature, but I am not real sure exactly where or how?

  • Line breaks within contents of floating fields

    Hello everyone,
    I have the following question regarding the usage of floating fields and line breaks:
    I have a text that incorporates a companies name using a floating field.
    If the name of the company is too large, a line break is forced automatically. In some cases the companies name is like "Company 123 N.V.". When the line break is forced on this company, its shows "Company 123 N." on the first line and "V." on the second line.
    How can i prevent the line break at "N."? I suppose the break is because of the "." in the text. But I want it only to be a line break if the "." is followed by a space, not if there is more text to it.
    The same sort of issue we face with floating fields containing for example telephone numbers ( format: "+31 (0) 20 - 123 456 1", line break at the "+", "(" or the spaces) and e-mail addresses ( [email protected], line break at the "@" or the ".") .
    Thanks for any reply on this.
    Regards,
    Joris

    I have the same problem. Does anyone have an answer for this one, please?
    Thanks,
    Vanessa
