PDF Form Sum

- I want to create a form that adds up the sume of 5 (yes, no, or NA questions) with each Y answer worth a value of 3 and N worth a value of 0. Easy enough but here is the kicker, if any of the 5 questions are answered N then the total must be 0.

What are the field types?
text box
What are the exact field names?
main text box is called
Model Call Score
which should equal the total of the following
6 List Box 1
6 List Box 2
6 List Box 3
6 List Box 4
6 List Box 5
where Y=3
N=0
NA=NA
Thanks so much!

Preview does not sum column data in PDF forms

Preview is way better than Acrobat for most purposes, but it has some basic limitations that just make it hard to use. for example I have to use this form that asks you to enter $ in a table, however Preview does not sum the column, it just puts a "0" in. Why doesn't Preview add? Plus, this default behaviour makes it harder to paste in my own number as there is a zero in the way. At least it would be nice if it could just remove the 0 and leave me with an editble section. Is this just the product of a badly created PDF form or, as I suspect, a limitation of Preview?

I'm having the exact problem. I have a fillable PDF form that has many checkboxes. Saving the pdf (doesn't matter whether it's 'Save', 'Save All', or 'Save As' under the File menu) will clear/reset the checkboxes in the file.
Anyone know of a workaround for this? Or, is Apple fixing this soon? I really don't want to get Acrobat Pro 9 (well, I don't think it's compatible with Snow Leopard yet anyway)
If you'd like a sample PDF file to try it out, let me know.
Thanks.

How to calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF Form in A. Reader

Hello,
I need to know some way for calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF form using JavaScript, hereby:
b ******************************************************************
i var service_url = http://some_webservice/;
i var send_type = "PDF";
i var doc = event.target;
i doc.submitForm( { cURL: service_url, cSubmitAs: send_type } );
b ******************************************************************
b The reason:
I need to indicate the percentage of bytes sent to the server, in real time. Adobe Acrobat shows a progress bar and the transferred quantity in bytes, but Adobe Reader doesn't. Is in this case, when I need to find a way in order to make something similar.
b Than you for your time.

You can use SharePoint Designer and calculate the total in xslt view. Refer to the following post for more information

Fill a PDF form from Excel

Hello to all.
I've been googling around for days to find some examples to solve my problem but was unable to find a good one.
I’m using Excel 2007 and Visual Studio 2010
Normally I report the data using Excel itself (a workbook). Now the request I have is to fill a PDF file containing a form with a huge number of lines. This means the data i have in the columns and lines of the Excel Worksheet have to be entered in the PDF form fields.
The PDF file was created withAdobe LiveCycle Designer 11.0 and has the ability to allow the creation and deletion of as many lines as we need.
I do even have a way to know the PDF form fields names...
Can someone please give me a clue of how can i achieve this using VB?
Thanks in advance for any kind help.
Octavio

In that case the for loop would be:
for (var i = 0; i < 8; i += 1) {
sum += +getField("Total." + i).value;
So initially, the counter i is equal to zero, so the field name used with the getField method is:
"Total." + 0, which results in the string "Total.0". With each iteration, the variable i is incremented by 1, so the subsequent field names are the following:
"Total.1"
"Total.2"
"Total.3"
"Total.4"
"Total.5"
"Total.6"
"Total.7"
The script gets the value of each field, converts it to a number, and adds the number it to the running sum.

PDF form auto-notification/pop-up on 3rd Party PDF readers

My livecycle generated PDF form wants to work only on Acrobat reader for user input and most importantly when summing numbers in the table field. I currently enable usage rights under Acrobat 9. The problem is that when people attempt to open the form with 3rd party PDF viewers I receive complaint that the form doesn't work; no numbers are summed, buttons and fields don't operate.
I'm searching for a method that will automatically manage and direct a user to execute the form through Adobe reader. The compliment to this statement is that I am searching for a method to detect and alert a user against trying to use a 3rd party pdf viewer. When the user does run the form in Adobe reader, my objective is to hide this particular instruction as it is not relevant. I'm very open to the method of instruction such as throwing a splash screen, adding javascript methods or dynamically writing text across the document, such as a water mark, that informs and instructs on how to successfully use the form.
Can anyone offer methods, techniques, behind code examples on how to manage this issue?
Any input and suggestion is greatly appreciated as I am at a road block.
Thanks,
DJG

Hi George,
Thanks for your interest. I looked carefully at possibly using dynamic form option but decided against adding the unnecessary complexity. Given the simplicity of the form, dynamics isn't needed. To your point, static is the most "robust" solution for my needs. I've tested with with reader from 9 on up and it works..... I just need to educate the user in a way so that this will be usable.
Often with web searches hitting the right key words is often critical. Problem is that I don't know enough about the PDF model that I may be missing key words. Am I missing something really obvious? In your opinion am I even describing this in the correct manner? Never hurts to get a second opinion.
Thanks much,
DJG

Problems with digitally signed PDF FORM

Hi everyone,
I am having a situation as follows:
I have a adobe form that is digitally signed. In Adobe 9 once it is signed, the two properties are set as -
1)Document assembly not allowed
2)Changing the document not allowed.
By saving the pdf into .ps file and reopening it with Adobe pro, I was able to put some links from the text in PDF, using "LINK TOOL" button. But if I redo the links again, then comes the problem. And also, When I merge this pdf form with another the signatures are lost!!! Can anyone please help me and shed some light on this.
Appreciate all your help.
rgds,
Suma.

Hi Suma
One thing to realize is one of the purposes of a digital signature is to provide proof of document integrity. With that in mind, although in Acrobat 8 and earlier you were allowed to make changes to the document, and thus invalidate the digital signature, beginning with version 9 we have disabled that functionality. If you need to edit the core PDF don't sign it. The signature should be applied after all of the document layout has been completed. You can fill in form fields and add comments and annotations post signing, but it makes no sense to modify the document structure when all it will do is invalidate the signature.

[JS - CS6] dynamic PDF forms

Hi guys,
I just come across the new PDF forms and the possibility to add them directly from ID.
Is it possible to create a PDF with several forms and make them dinamically interactive?
For instance, I have a "Quantity" field for a product that costs $5.00 and I need that when the user insert a value in this form I automatically get the sum (5 x $5.00 = $25.00) and display the refreshed sum in the PDF document.
Hope you understand what I need...
Thanks!

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and just created a pdf form from a MS Word document. I need to find out how to have a date field in my form which will update automatically. Can some one out there help me?

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

I have created a PDF form with field but for some reason I cant type in them

May be that the text fields are read-only.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

Published pdf form is unable to connect with database

Hi Guys!
I have created a PDF form using Adobe Live Cycle Designer which have some text fields namely RECORD and NAME. I have connected this form with a Database. When I enter a record in the RECORD number field the NAME field of this form has been populated with the help of XFA Script which is written on the exit event of the RECORD text field. When we publish this form, a new interactive PDF is created which works fine and populates the NAME field from the an SQL database but when I access this PDF form (which is located on a shared location) from some another location (not on the same machine where i designed this form) it is unable to connect to the database and does not work as expected.
I think there is some thing i am missing for the database connectivity.
If any body on this forum can help me out.
thanks
Here is the Script for the above form which i used to populate the NAME FIELD on the basis of enetered RECORD number.
----- Document.Page1.txt_MRN::exit: - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------------------------
/* This dropdown list object will populate two columns with data from a data connection.
sDataConnectionName - name of the data connection to get the data from. Note the data connection will appear in the Data View.
sColHiddenValue - this is the hidden value column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating.
sColDisplayText - this is the display text column of the dropdown. Specify the table column name used for populating.
These variables must be assigned for this script to run correctly. Replace <value> with the correct value.
var sDataConnectionName = "DataSource"; // example - var sDataConnectionName = "MyDataConnection";
var sColHiddenValue = "RecordNum"; // example - var sColHiddenValue = "MyIndexValue";
var sColDisplayText = "Name"; // example - var sColDisplayText = "MyDescription"
// Search for sourceSet node which matchs the DataConnection name
var nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName)
nIndex++;
//var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex);
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1);
oDB.open();
oDB.first();
// Search node with the class name "command"
var nDBIndex = 0;
while(oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).className != "command")
nDBIndex++;
// Backup the original settings before assigning BOF and EOF to stay
var sBOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("bofAction");
var sEOFBackup = oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.getAttribute("eofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayBOF", "bofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute("stayEOF", "eofAction");
// Clear the list
this.clearItems();
// Search for the record node with the matching Data Connection name
nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex).name != sDataConnectionName)
nIndex++;
var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item(nIndex);
// Find the value node
var oValueNode = null;
var oTextNode = null;
var sRecordNum = $.rawValue;
for(var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex++)
if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColHiddenValue)
oValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex);
else if(oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex).name == sColDisplayText)
oTextNode = oRecord.nodes.item(nColIndex);
var found= 0;
while(!oDB.isEOF())
if (oValueNode.value== sRecordNum)
txt_FirstName.rawValue = oTextNode.value;
txt_LastName.rawValue = oTextNode.value;
found = 1;
break;
//this.addItem(oTextNode.value, oValueNode.value);
 oDB.next();
 if (found == 0)
 txt_FirstName.rawValue = "";
 txt_LastName.rawValue = "";
// Restore the original settings
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sBOFBackup, "bofAction");
oDB.nodes.item(nDBIndex).query.recordSet.setAttribute(sEOFBackup, "eofAction");
// Close connection
oDB.close();

Finally achived the database connectivity for the published pdf form developed in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
There must be the same driver version of the DSN on both machines. The machine which published the form and the one accessing it.
Use the Admin account to add the DSN on both machines.
Get rid of the error: Connection for Source "DataConnectionName" failed because the environment is not trusted.
Thanks
