Populating a field with multiple text strings.

Hi,
This is for a XML form.
I would like to populate a text field in a medical intake form. There would be a base intro to a doctor's assessment with the ability of the doctor the check off symptoms that would populate a expandable field to create a paragraph. The idea is to speed up and make more consistent the process of the medical professional entering data. As it stands now, between the chicken-scratch writing and variations in diagnosis terms, the intakes vary wildly.
So a sample sentence might be like this……….
“Patient is using [symptom]. There is no evidence of [symptom] or [symptom].”
The [symptom] (it could be called anything, like "item")would be clickable and bring up a box of choices I could tailor to that specific area, so there would be multiple instances of this with variations. It would trigger dialog to be opened that would contain a number of items to be selected from. That selected (or multiple if possible), would be inserted into the paragraph.
The box might look something like this....
Any assistance or pointers to more detail would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Joe

Thanks for your reply,
One more question, When I load master data, I donot see any request IDs in master data although it has loaded is it because this is mater data ? Also if had to delete a request how is it possible ? or If I have to remove a field from that Iobj that already had data how can that be done.

I have a PDF form that I want to pre-fill multiple fields with example text that disappears onFocus. Is there a way to do this?

Pretty much what my subject line says. My client wants example text in the fields of a PDF form that will disappear when the cursor enters the field. When I try this with show/hide layers, the layer becomes visible as soon as I enter form editing mode, and the action doesn't work properly. Any help? I was able to get it to work with a single field, but multiple fields with example text on multiple layers doesn't work for some reason.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Jeffrey ,
You need to use a custom Format script for the field.

I have created a form that contains fields with default text for a user to update/personalize. Is there a way to style the text so I can quickly identify changes to default text in a field?

George - Thanks you so much! Actually, i'd love for the text color to be red font color. Could you send me the script for that? And I assume I just copy and paste the script into the field properties (see screenshot)?
thanks again!

Mail Merge script to replace any blank fields with specific text

In InDesign Mail Merge I would like to replace any blank fields with specific text. For example if we have four fields (A, B, C & D) to merge, and field A is blank, it would insert field C.
In essence leaving no blank fields but replacing a blank field with another specific field.
I have read that inDesign does have Mail Merge limitations but if there is a script that we could run that would solve our problem.
Please let me know if you can help?

I take from the lack of response it is not possible to do this in InDesign.

How to create Using Formatted Text Field with multiple Sliders?

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

Text Field with multiple lines

I am trying to create a text field in the selection screen where it can insert a text with multiple lines for instance those text fields which you can see online where you can key in text lines after lines.
How do you do that in ABAP?

Hi
See any Std program code for CREATING long Text lines
See any application document HEADER or ITEM text and copy that code
first declare a field with some table field
like
PARAMETERS: p_text like Tline-tdname.
then keep a button (for Long text) and in the program write a code such that when you press on that line it will take you to text ediotr
using the CREATE_TEXT fun module
copy it from a std program text..

Searching a Table field with multiple values using a shuttle item

Hello All,
I have a shuttle item whhich of course users can select multiple values:
eg: Orange:Pear:Banana
Now I have a table where I want to get the Crate Numbers where these fruit items reside.
The Fruit field has multiple stored values
eg:
Crate Fruits
=== ====
12487 Apple:Orange:Pear:Banana
17653 Orange:Pear:Grapes
12874 Apple:Banana
13655 Grapes:Watermelon:Pineapple
87643 Pear:Banana
53626 Strawberries:Apple
I would like to see a final report similiar to this
Crate Fruit
=== ===
12487 Orange
12487 Pear
12487 Banana
17653 Orange
17653 Pear
12874 Banana
87643 Pear
87643 Banana
I thought maybe this needs to be done using collections but I am not familiar with this function, if their is another way I would appreciate it
Hope u can help
Frank

Hi Frank,
I find that in this sort of case, it is easier to create a link table containing the individual values rather than lumping them into one column.
so the data is stored in the 'Crate, Fruit' format, rather then the 'Crate Fruits' format.
It is a bit more work maintaining the link table when the values are amended and populating the shuttle, but it is a 'proper' relational table then.

Creating Profile type report that hold fields with multiple values

Really hoping someone can please help me out as I am very new to Crystal Reports.
We use Maximizer CRM and we have been in need of some custom reports to rule out risk for regulators. I contacted Max and they suggested the only possible way is to create through Crystal. Its been almost one month already and I still cannot for the likes of me get this report operating properly. I have been inside and out on all sorts of forums, posted topics but no luck! So I will give it one more attempt in hopes that one of you geniuses can show me the way.
In Maximizer CRM there is date, numeric, alphanumric and table. Our table fields items can be set to either single value or multi-value. So in crystal i did a default join of Client.tbl and the user-defined fields from view and joined the client id and contact number from all the view fields to client table. See Image:
and I have dragged all the relevant fields in rows (in details section) rather then columns because we would be reporting on more then 1 record at a time. My problem is - If there is a table with multiple items selected (values), the records triple in count and it will show the same record over and over with just single field value changing at a time.
The formula field you see in the image is from when I posted a discussion and Abhilash assisted me by providing the formulas I should add:
1) Create a formula with this code and place this on the Details Section:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar s := s + {field_with_multiple_values} + ", ";
2) Next, move all the fields (except the formula field above) from the Details section to the Report Footer
3) Create a formula with this code and place this on the Report Footer. This field would replace the existing field that contains multiple values:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar s;
Left(s, len(s)-2);
This method is not working out for this type of report. When I add the formula Crystal is still counting my 2 records as 5 records but I can only view it as a single record and the multi-field has all the values for both records and displaying as a single record. See image:
Can anyone please assist and advise where I am going wrong?
-Jared

Hi Jared,
Thanks for taking down memory lane that is Maximizer. Nice to see their table structure hasn't been simplified in the last 20 years.
If I understand what's happening, you should only see 2 records and not 5. That means your joins are creating duplicate records. For now I'm going to skip over trying to optimize your query because I still have bad dreams of linking Maximizer tables.
There are a couple of ways to work around the duplicates, one is to create a group and instead of having your formula in the Detail section, put it in the Group Header. The question is what would you create your group on that would get you a unique record?
If you know where the duplicates are coming from, create a Record Selection Formula that will remove the duplicates.
There is also the menu option Database | Select Distinct Records. I've never really had success with this one but there's no harm in giving it a shot.
I would have you try and find which table or combination of tables is generating the duplicates but that requires playing with your links. Normally I'd start by adding one table at a time and dropping one field onto the report. If it doesn't repeat then add another table and field and repeat until you get your duplicates. Once you know where they are coming from then you can either drop that table from your query or create a selection formula that removes the duplicates.
Good luck,
Brian

Can I format a paragraph in illustrator, with multiple text sizes?

Hi,
I have a number of paragraphs in illustrator that have the following...
a title = Arial bold 18 pt.
body text =Arial reg 14 pt.
and indents with bullets
It seems that illustrator only supports one font, size, color, etc. for each Paragraph style. I would like to be able to set the title to Arial bold, 18pt, Blue, and the body text to Arial regular, 14pt, white, with different leadings, within the same style setting. Does anyone know if this can be done?
Thank you in advance.
Knewt

What are you guys talking about? Since when does InDesign support multiple text attributes for a single Paragraph Style? At least in CS3 InDesign's Paragraph Styles have settings for nested Character Styles and drop caps, but you still define one set of text attributes for the Paragraph Style itself.
In principle it's basically the same in Illustrator. If you want to actually have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, you apply Character Styles to text ranges within the paragraph. Illustrator's implementation of it is pure crap in that inheritance and style redefinition does not work correctly, but the fact remains you certainly can have multiple text treatments in one paragraph, but it is not done with a single Paragraph Style. If using Styles (as you should) it is a matter of nesting Character Styles within paragraphs that have Paragraph Styles applied.
But I strongly suspect that what Mr. Harley is describing is not really a single paragraph at all. He wants different text sizes, different indents, and bullets. That clearly involves multiple paragraphs.
Harley, in part of your description of what you want, you seem to be referring to a single textframe object as a "paragraph." A paragraph is a range of text separated by a carriage return. When you define and apply a Paragraph Style, the carriage return defines the range of the Style. When you define and apply a Character Style, the selected range of characters define the range of the Style. You can use multiple Character Styles within a paragraph that has a Paragraph Style applied.
But you are talking about the need to define several Paragraph Styles to use in one block of text, or "story" (one or several textframe objects). You just need to define three Paragraph Styles:
Heading: Arial Bold 18 pt.
Body: Arial Regular 14 pt.
BodyBullet: Same as Body, but with different indents. Set a tab at the bullet location and at the left indent. (You type your bullet characters; you don't just select "bullets" from a setting.)
Type all your text, using carriage returns as you would expect. Each carriage return marks the beginning of a new paragraph. (This is as true in Illustrator as it is in InDesign, Word, or anything else.) Click inside a paragraph and apply the appropriate Paragraph Style.
Now suppose you want to use a convention within your document that emphasizes certain words or phrases by painting them magenta instead of whatever color is defined in the Paragraph Style. Create a Character Style. Name it Emphasis. In that Style, set the character color to magenta. Now swipe across a word in one of your paragraphs and apply the Emphasis Character Style. The whole paragraph still has the Paragraph Style you applied to it. But now the color of a few characters is overridden by the Character Style you have applied to those characters.
Again, like many things in Illustrator, its implementation of Paragraph Styles and Character Styles is very sloppy compared to other programs. But it is not true that 'InDesign can apply multiple text treatments in a single Paragraph Style, and Illustrator can't.' At least not up to CS3.

Print fields with multiple lines

We set the field for multiple lines in a pdf form. When
entering info, a scroll bar appears so they can enter multiple
lines. However, the mutiple lines don't print. If we increase the
field height, the scroll displays when info is typed beyond the
height and we cannot turn off the scroll.
Also, the field is in the middle of a form and the rest of
the form needs to adjust to accommodate the number of lines entered
in the expandable field. How??

I'm assuming you are authoring this pdf in Acrobat. If so,
double-click the text box field to open it's properties. In the
OPTIONS tab, select the "Multi-line" check box, but DESELECT the
"Scroll Long Text" check box. This will prevent folks from entering
more text than the box will allow (has space for). Therefore,
nothing will be hidden when the page is printed. If you DO want
folks to be able to put as much as they want in that box but are
limited in space on the page, printing will not be an option as the
printer will not realize text is hidden in that box. Hope this
helps!

Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.

Populating descriptive field with itresource name?

Hi everyone,
After my AD account is provisioned i need to update request description with resource name. but when i map the descriptive field it populateds descriptive field with key but not the resource name. How can we populate descriptive field with resource name?
Thanks,
doki

ASAIK, you can not see the resource name in map descriptive field. But you can do a workaround like, create a hidden field(UD_ADCS_RESNAME) in AD Process Form and use pre-populate adapter to populate this field with your resource name.
Now in Map Descriptive Field of AD Provisioning, select the field UD_ADCS_RESNAME under the Process Data. You will be done.

Livecycle populate text field with multiple records from list box

Can someone tell me how can I populate a text field from list box when I have multiple select.
Here is example:
List box consist: Hello
                         World.
I want to see this in text field: Hello,World.
Thanks!

Hi Legro
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you can do something like this:
----------------- java script begin ---------------------------------
//Reset text field
TextField.rawValue = "";
//loop through items in listbox
for(i = 0; i < ListBox.length; i++)
          //if item selected
          if(ListBox.getItemState(i))
                    //check if Text field value if null
                    if (TextField.isNull)
                              TextField.rawValue = ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
                    else
                              TextField.rawValue = TextField.rawValue + " " + ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
----------------- java script end ---------------------------------
I have attached an sample PDF so that you can see how it works!!

Difficulty creating rich text fields with autoresizing text on my mac (Mavericks?)

I'm a new user so I could be making a simple error, but here goes:
I'm trying to make the text fields in a pdf form be rich text with the font autoresizing as needed, but these setting seem not to save when I do this on my new mac desktop. When I open the same file on my iPad, the field appears to have the rich text setting preserved and resizes text as necessary; this also isn't a problem on my work commuter (PC with windows)*. It's very weird; I change the option settings to allow rich text and uncheck line scrolling, then lock the changes, then try to input text and the settings appear not to have taken effect. When I reopen form editing, the old settings (multiple lines, scrolling) are checked again even though I locked it. Hopefully someone out there knows why this might be happening?
*When I email the iPad pdf file to myself and open on mac, the text seems to "autocorrect" the form field text back to multiple lines/scrolling, and looks terrible.

I suppose a possible solution is if there's a way to add the text form fields in Illustrator... or if there's a way to add an invisible marker (besides adding a rule line) that Acrobat will automatically read as a text field location?
