Populate a field on each page of formset without making formlevel changes

Is there any rule that can control at a master level, the population of a certain value from the flat-file extract on all pages of the formset?
There is a huge number of forms that need to be populated with the value from the extract without making changes to the forms. The field might have to be positioned similar to a footer field.
Is there any transaction level rule that can be used within the afgjob.jdt to serve this purpose?

If you do not already have the field on the components of the formset then your work will be a little more difficult - you will have to create an overlay section that contains the field, set the field scope to global and populate, then add the overlay section to all the forms (you can do this via a DAL script so you don't need to edit all the forms, but you will have to touch them to at least add the DAL).

As you can see the fields with CP_ tags are OUTSIDE of the List_G_Header tags, how can I Repeat those CP_tags on each page on Microsoft WORD RTF template?
I am failed to put these CP_ fields into Header of WORD RTF template.
Thank you for assistance ~!

Thanks Nishka and Ananth, do you mean that I should insert a field or form field into the Header? But how to do so? Since I am not allowed to insert a BIP field / form field into the header.
Error message: " You cannot paste form fields into comments, headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes ..." (MS WORD 2003)
Thanks BIPuser, I solved my issue with your suggestion.

When I open a saved document in pages, then close it right away without making any changes, why does it ask if I would like to save the page or all new info will be lost?

I have a few saved documents and when I open them to view them quick, sometimes when I close it, I will get asked if I would like to save the document or all my new info will be lost. I didnt change anything so Im not sure why it asks me that. When I open the document again, all the info is there and nothing is different. Thanks

Unless they were Word documents, Pages has done nothing really, but it is updating date information in the file.
It is annoying but just ignore it and don't save.

Duplicate a Text Field on Every Page of a Document?

Today I wrote my first vb.net/adobe app. I managed to open the pdf doc in adobe and create a named text field. I managed to insert a java script that gets the current date when the document is open and updates the text field. I would like to duplicate the text field on all pages of the document. Manually, I can right click on a text field and select duplicate. I don't see a property or method that allows me to program this. The field property "page" appears to be read only. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
page
The page number or an array of page numbers of a field. If the field has only one appearance in the document, the page property returns an integer representing the 0-based page number of the page on which the field appears. If the field has multiple appearances, it returns an array of integers, each member of which is a 0-based page number of an appearance of the field. The order in which the page numbers appear in the array is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order). If an appearance of the field is on a hidden template page, page returns a value of -1 for that appearance.
TypeInteger | ArrayAccessRFieldsallExample 1Determine whether a particular field appears on one page, or more than one page.var f = this.getField("myField");
if (typeof f.page == "number")
console.println("This field only occurs once on page " + f.page);
else
console.println("This field occurs " + f.page.length + " times);

I also tried the brute force method of moving from page to page and creating a text field on each page. I used pageNum to changes the page, but, adobe didn't seem to recognize that. I saw the page change on the screen, but, all of the textfields were created on the first page!

How do I click a key and have Firefox populate a field I am in with specified text?

I provide online assistance for a specific group of clients. I am finding myself repeatedly writing almost the exact same paragraphs. Which Add-on would allow me to simply populate a field on a page with the exact text -- I'm hoping to set up 20 or 30 responses that I can just select instead of having to retype everything. Thanks for any guidance.

Nailed it cor-el!!!!! I am so delighted! It's exactly what I've been looking for. I gave you a SOLVED with pleasure.

Editable text box on each page, but generated from Master Page?

I want to create a blank text box that lives on the Master Page so that it shows up on each page in the document, but I then would enter custom text into the field on each page ( or just leave it blank).
I know, I know, I can do simply copy a text box from one page, and paste in place on all subsequent pages... or set it up once on a page, then just keep duplicating that page... or some other work around. But simple as those work arounds are, I'd just like a blank text box show up automatically on each page as a master page item, then I can enter text as a see fit and not have to do any duplicating tricks. I've looked up a few tutorials, but none solve for my need.
So I guess the real question is, does InDesign allow the content of a master page text field to be individually edited on the pages of the document itself?

It's bet to NEVER use the override master page items command since it overrides ALL master items. That's like using a wrecking ball as a flyswatter. And you don't need to put random text in the frame either (especially since you said you don't want to use it on some pages, though it might be best for those if you create another master without the frame). To override any master object hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) + Shift and click on it with the selection tool.

Adding Digital Signature Fields to Multiple Pages in a Document

Hello,
I have a batch processing java script which will place digital signature fields in a drawing.
Sometimes the drawing could have multiple pages and the script needs to place the digital signature fields onto each page.
The problem with the script I have is that the digital signature fields are only appearing on the first page.
Can anyone please provide assistance with modifying my script so that the digital signature fields appear on every page?
// Drawing signature field rev 0
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked", "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed", "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App", "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App", "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Thanks very much.

Just index the field names:
var numpages = this.numPages;
for (var i=0; i < numpages; i++) {
var a = this.addField("Checked"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 174, 1724, 198]);
var b = this.addField("Designed"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 149.5, 1724, 173.5]);
var c = this.addField("Design App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 125, 1724, 149]);
var d = this.addField("Proj App"+i, "signature", i, [1783, 101, 1724, 125]);
Tho there's no point in signing each page in the same document, tho I also see engineering folk do this. They just love signing every data sheet.
And the result will not be good. Each signature will cause a problem/alert for the previous signatures.
Care to indicate your engineering company?

How to show header value in each page same as Page field value.

Hi there
It would be very helpful if anyone could tell us how to set header value based on the page field.
To make it more clear.. i have a field in my Rtf (which is basically a group by) so in each page it'll differ.. My Header should reflect the same as field value.
what my understanding is header wont change for each page. but ,my requirement is something like i have to show the header which is same as one of my filed value..
for eg:
HEADER: ABC page-1
Field - ABC
HEADER:XYZ page-2
Field - XYZ
Regards - Vijay
Edited by: Vijay Santhanam on 23-Oct-2008 3:51 PM

Hi Haiye ,
The Pointer you gave would keep Header ABC through out all the pages in report right, actually i had tried this and got same header for all pages,
but what i need is my first page Header should be based on one of the field of Page 1, second pge Header again based on the same field, but the value may differ... (coz the page field is group by ).
Would appreciate your help on this issue!!

How do I redirect to a page via a button but also populate a field on page2

I am trying to redirect to a second page via a button but at the same time populate a item on the second page from a function that returns a sequence.
I tried all sort of methods, adding page processing, adding dynamic actions, adding branching and cannot get this to work.
The button must create a new record on the second page, but populate unique key at the same time. Because redirecting does not Submit, adding page processing AFTER submit does not work. I get that, but the following also will not work and I don' know why
Create dummy field on page 1
Create page processing that populates the field via PL/SQL "On Submit"
Create Region button that simply Submits page
Create branch that on submit redirects to second page and moves the value from the dummy field on first page to the field on the seocnd page.
I am new to Application Express and love trying to figure issues out myself but am at a loss with something that should be so simple. Any help would be appreciated.
Stewart

Hi,
As i understand from your requirement,
I am trying to redirect to a second page via a button but at the same time populate a item on the second page from a function that returns a sequence.You want to goto page 2 from page one on click of a button, and when loading the page two you want to populate the item on page two with a sequence number.
if that is the case, try using Button,
Action: Redirect to page in this application
then on page two, create a page process,
Process Point:*On load before header*
Source >> Process >>
begin
select seq_name.nextval into :P2_ITEM from dual;
end;this should do your requirement.

How to populate text fields with data present in a table

Hi,
The page i'm building has got a select list for the primary key column and text fields corresponding to rest of the columns in the table.
upon selecting some value from the list, the data corresponding to that row should get populated in the respective items. I don't want to add source in each item. can't i create a process or something else where this is done for each item.
for eg there's a table with columns A(primary key) and B.
there is a text fields on this page.
this textfield should populate the data from the table whenever i submit the page such that teh value in B is select B from tablename where A = the selected value.
Thanks
Dhirendra

So I assume page was not built using a wizard. Why on earth you would want to I dont know, but you could create an "After Header" pl/sql process to populate the relevant fields, assuming the id was know on entry to the page. If you want to select the id on the page and then populate the fields, guess you will need to use a "Text Field (always submits page when Enter pressed)" and then use an "On Submit" process to populate the items.
If you are using an Automated Row Fetch, remember to select "Set memory Cache on Fetch" in that process.
Hope this helps.

Can Word 2010 populate fillable fields in a pdf fillable form?

Is it possible to define fillable fields in a word 2010 document (name, address, city, state, zip, date) so that after a save to pdf and [Page] add existing file, an existing pdf fillable form will auto-populate same named fields in the added pdf fillable form?

Thanks, George! In the form I am creating, I ask respondents to identify a number of organizations that they work with. For example, I ask "Please list up to ten organizations" and then I provide ten text boxes for organizations 1-10. I then ask a series of follow up questions (radio buttons, check boxes, and rating scales) about each organization. I would like to auto-populate the fields of those follow up questions with the names of the organizations that the respondents had written. Does that make sense? Will this require JavaScript? My hope is to avoid complicated scripts that may give respondents technical problems with the form. Thanks again,
Andy

How do I populate form fields depending on the value of a list box?

Hi,
Can anybody help me out here?
I'm creating a form where I'm needing to populate a number of fields (first name & last name) based on the value of a list box (values are 1,2,3,4,5,6) ie: if 3 is selected 3 sets of the first name and last name fields populate on the page for the user to fill out.
At this stage it is just a prototype site and there is no database running behind it.
Thanks
Hayden

This can only be solved if you have javascript coding skills. Without knowing more about what you want to do and why, I can only show you a skeleton of how your code should look, but consider this form select field -
<select onchange="populateForm()">
When a value is selected from that list, the "onchange" event will fire, and will call the javascript function called populateForm(). You need to define a function by that name somewhere on the page -
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function populateForm(value) {
     if value >0 { document.getElementById("fieldID").style.display='block' }
     if value >1 { .... }
     etc.
//]]>
</script>
The page itself would need to have ALL the fields already in the form, but with those that are to be revealed set to a style of display:none.
Obviously, this is a skinny skeleton. Each test in the function would reveal a new field on the page by changing its display style from "none" (which is how they should be set in the code) to "block". You would need a separate function for each type of field that might need to be chosen.
If this is well over your head, then I'm afraid you will be out of luck for this particular approach....

Blanket Fill in for same field on multiple page form?

I have a form that is many pages long and it has certain fields that appear on each page... (ie Name, address etc)
Anyone know of a way for the user to fill in the field on page 1 and the other fields will automatically populate on the other pages in the form?

In version 5 (which is what I use and currently don't intend to upgrade) you have to write a script that locates the duplicated fields and then sets their value.
Essentially, you obtain the number of times it is repeated from the underlying form object and use that to do a loop, using the loop index to reference each occurance. You can also go through the complete collection of objects and when one with the same name is found, you would set its value. The first method is more efficient. In version 5, at least, you do have to recognize when the loop is referencing the source field and not update it or weird things would happen.

Repeating a group element on each page of a report.

I have a report where I need to repeat a group element on each page. The element is from the first group in the data. It is in the center group. Currently, the values from this group only print when the group changes. Everything I try does not work. Does anyone have any ideas. I am attaching a sample of the data. Along with the rtf document. I am using the BI Publisher plug in in Word to create the template.

Hi,
You should add a first level of grouping in your subreport on a fake formula field with a constant value. Put your header and footer information in this group header and footer. In the group option make sure to check the "repeat group header on each page option".
This group will act as a page header + footer within your subreport.
good luck!
