Populating text fields

I have an application that loads variables from a text file.
It loads them into several dynamic text fields by using the
variable property. I tried populating other text fields with these
values but doesnt seam to work.
i tried this.
username.text = username;
I tried this because i need the value of the variable
"username" to appear in the username text field.
Why didnt this work. How can i correct this?
Thanks

it's a component? Why do you need that? Create the username
simply with a dinamic text field and assign the data to it.
I think your missing something. from what i remember and i'm
not so good at this ( i must first see an exemple of something made
by me) you must have a variable which contains the variable in
which the data is loaded.
I have to check out first some work i did to remember. If
problem not solved i will come back in a few hours with the
answer.

Reading CSV file, populating text fields, saving each as image to folder

I need to generate a bunch of images by reading a CSV file of records, populating various text fields over an image and then saving each iteration as a new image in a folder. Is Illustrator the best solution to this problem? And if so can someone help me get started?

In my opinion...
While Illustrator is an awesome tool its scripting DOM is a little limited, you may have better luck using InDesign as it has a much broader DOM.
If it is just simple text manipulations and you only require an image (not a document) Photoshop may work well for this as well.
Both the InDesign and Photoshop scripting forums seem to have much more activity as well.
For PhotoShop you can also use the awesome resources @: http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/

Populating Text Field from Dropdown in Repeating Subforms

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a dropdown in a repeating subform that populates a text field in the same subform depending on the option selected.
I used the functionality described here to acheive the text field population in the first row, but I have trouble when I add additional instances of my subform. In subsequent instances, when I select an option from the dropdown, it changes the text in my first textbox and does not populate anything in the repeated textbox.
I'm not sure how to get this to work for each added instance and/or how to keep each instance separate from one another.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you repost the question - some funny formatting issue

Populating text fields with previous info in drop down

Hello.
I am using acrobat 7... creating a fillable PDF
The completed project cues the user with a drop down under the text field of everything anyone has ever typed in the text field before.
How do I stop the fillable form from populating previously used info?
Thanks

Thanks so much..
I knew it was easy.. I just couldn't find it!

Populating text fields from dynamic select

I have been searching the net for a javascript/ajax solution
that will populate a number of text fields based on the selection
from a dynamic select field. Specifically, when the person selects
a company name, the companies address and phone number gets pulled
from a second recordset that gets filtered by the choice from the
dropdown. This needs to be done without postback.
The page is built using php/mysql and the select is populated
by one of the recordsets.
Any direct help or steering to a solution would be
appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
Right now I'm starting with a blank form and once I get my head wrapped around this then I was going to modify what is already in use.
I'm attaching my scheme and xml file.
Thanks!

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Populating text field with pl/sql expression or function

Hi all,
I have a function which return an object.
create or replace type emp2_oty is object (server_name varchar2(20),
status varchar2(4),
refresh_on date,
dw_refresh date)
create or replace type emp2_nt is table of emp2_oty
create or replace function testserver12 return emp2_nt
is
v_emp2_nt emp2_nt:=emp2_nt();
a number;
b number;
c number;
begin
for r_emp in (select * from testing)
loop
a := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.dw_refresh);
c := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.refresh_on);
b := extract(DAY FROM SYSDATE);
if (a != b) or (c != b) or (r_emp.status != 'on') then
v_emp2_nt.extend; v_emp2_nt(v_emp2_nt.last):=emp2_oty(r_emp.server_name,r_emp.status,r_emp.refresh_on,r_emp.dw_refresh);
end if;
end loop;
return v_emp2_nt;
end testserver12;
The pl/sql code to get the return value displayed. It works very fine in sqlworkshop.
declare
v_temp_nt emp2_nt;
i number := 1;
begin
v_temp_nt:= testserver12();
for i in (v_temp_nt.first)..(v_temp_nt.last) loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_temp_nt(i).server_name||' '||v_temp_nt(i).status||' '||v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' '||v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh);
end loop;
end;
I want it to get display the output into the text field.
Please could any one help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
bye
Srikavi

Pretty easy, add a CHR(10) (ASCII for carriage return) in the string concatenation.
e.g.
   l_result:= l_result || (v_temp_nt(i).server_name || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).status || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh) || CHR(10);Also why over complicate the whole process by using objects and types by simplifying the code and also improving readability and maintenance by replacing the PL/SQL function body with something similar to (the conditions have been negated and may have not been what you meant in the first place)
DECLARE
   v_text_return VARCHAR2(2000);
   l_cur CURSOR IS
      SELECT t.server_name,
             t.status,
             t.refresh_on,
             t.dw_refresh
      FROM   testing t
      WHERE To_Char(t.refresh_on, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    To_Char(t.dw_refresh, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    Upper(t.status) = 'ON');
BEGIN
   FOR r_emp in l_cur
   LOOP
      v_text_return := v_text_return || r_emp.server_name || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.status || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.refresh_on || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.dw_refresh || CHR(10);
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_text_return;
END;Hope this helps

Populating Text Field from Multi Checkboxes

Need help with formula. Not sure whether or not I should be using FormCalc or Javascript as I am not extremely familiar with either. I have a form that has three checkboxes (Box1, Box2, & Box3) that need to auto populate a text field (EmpAck). I have tried three different ways to get this done and none are working for me. What I need to happen is if "Box1" is checked "Text1" is inserted in "EmpAck" field and if "Box2" is checked "Text2" is instered & so on. The texts are never the same and never added together. I have set "EmpAck" to be read only, allowing multiple lines, and have the "Expand to fit box marked as the texts' are different lengths. Any help would be great.
1. // This would go in the Textfield under calulate using FormCalc
if (Box1 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text1"
elseif (Box2 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text2"
elseif (Box3 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text3"
endif
2. //This would go in the checkbox "Box1" changing "Text1" to "Text2" or "Text3" as required under mouseup using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/2489082#2489082)
if (this.rawValue == 1)
{EmpAck.rawValue = "Text1";}
else {EmpAck.raqValue = " ";}
3.//This would go in textfield under calcuate using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/4108395#4108395)
var a =" "
if (this.getField(Box1).value == "Yes")
{a="Text1"}
if (this.getField(Box2).value == "Yes")
{a="Text2"}
if (this.getField(Box3).value == "Yes")
{a="Text3"}
event.value=a

Found my problem. Was using different subforms without including in the formula.

Populating Text Field using Dynamic Actions is not working

I've a Select List (P14_ACCOUNT) and Text Field (P14_BILLING_ADDRESS_1) on a form. On selecting a value on the Select List, I've to populate the Text Fields by fetching its values from the database by using the Select List value as the primary key. To do this, I created a Dynamic Actions (Advanced) on the Select List, with event onchange and Set Value as SQL. However this is not working.
Below are the sqls of Select List and Dynamic Action respectively:
select ACCOUNT_NO || ' - ' || COMPANY_NAME display_value, ACCOUNT_ID return_value
from ACCOUNT
order by 1
select a.address1 from account a where a.account_id = :P14_ACCOUNTNow when I substitute the Dynamic Action sql with any of the below sqls, the value shows up:
select address1 from account where account_id = 41
select address1 from account where rownum=1
select user from dualI thought of seeing the value of :P14_ACCOUNT in session or debug, but session does not show any value and on clicking debug it throws a popup message "Debugging is not enabled for this application."
I've been trying since few hours but with no luck. How can I debug further?
Thanks for the help.

Hozy,
Take alook at your application on apex.oracle.com
The session state for items, when SQL is used, is set using the Page Items to Submit parameter as has been set in your application.

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

Auto-populating text fields

How can I set up a series of pdfs in a folder so that text from a text field (such as a name) on one pdf will populate the same text field on other pdfs in a folder?

There is no automatic way to do this.
You would need to write a plugin or extra application that talked to Acrobat to do it.

Auto-populating text fields based on dropdown option

This has probably been covered on this forum before. I would like to auto-populate multiple text fields with pre-programmed data based on a user-selected option from a drop-down list. The file here should explain clearly what I want to do:
https://acrobat.com/#d=ID7ezZN5ZzIKgVvmgkyMiw
Where can I find an example code that would accomplish this task? Thanks.
-Paul

Your form data hierarchy is different than mine. You need the brackets also, otherwisethe first assignment statements executes only.
// form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var char = this.rawValue;
TextField41.rawValue = "Data " + char + "1";
TextField42.rawValue = "Data " + char + "2";
TextField43.rawValue = "Data " + char + "3";

Auto Populating Text Fields Default Values

I am using Acrobat X Pro. I have a multiple page form and would like the "Legal Address" field entry/value after typed to auto-populate, or be the default value, of my "Mailing Address" field further down the form. I can accomplish this if the fields are the same name, ***HOWEVER*** I just want it to pre-populate it and if the "Mailing Address" differs from "Legal Address" be able to type over that (Mailing Address) on the form entry without also changing the Legal Address. If the fields are named the same, both will always be the same / updated together.
Any help - or examples!

Hi Michael,
Thanks that was helpful and worked although I now appear to have another problem.
When I enter data into current title (eg Manager, Finance) data in proposed title field (eg Manager Finance) is auto populated as expected - correct
When I change the data that was auto populated in the proposed title field (eg Manager, FInance) to the new title (eg Director, Finance) is keeps the new tltle - correct
When I select something from another field eg cost code, the data I manually keyed into the proposed title reverts back to what was entered into the current title (eg Manager FInance)
Is there a way of committing the data that is entered automatically or manually so it remains in the field?
Regards,
Michael

Populating Text Fields from XML Based Drop Down

Hello,
I'm new to the Adobe Livecycle I have been challenged to make a PDF form that pulls information from an XML file.
I have been able to get the from to read the XML file and I have successfully created a dynamic pull down, but what I am having a problem with is that when an item is selected in the dropdown I want it to pull other information stored in the XML file.
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>123</csrExt>
<csrFax>123-123-1234</csrFax>
</user>
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>321</csrExt>
<csrFax>999-234-1322</csrFax>
</user>
My pulldown reads each csrName and I can select whom I want, but how do I get <csrExt> and <csrFax> to pull over for the correct <csrName>? I figured it needs to be done by some code during the "Change Event" but I have not figured out what code is needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated, if anymore information is needed just let me know and I'll share what I got.
Thanks
Derrick

Query a view w/data entered into a text field populated by 2 table fields

Hello, Looking for advise!!! I have a tabular canvas thats datablock uses a view to populate. In this canvas I have a text field that has been populated with first_name || ' ' || last_name in the database node of the property pallate column name. The text field is not in the table or view. I have created it in the data block and make it a database item. However, I would like to have the user push a search button to go into ENTER_QUERY mode then the user would enter the criteria to search on in this text field. The user would then push button to EXECUTE_QUERY. The result is I retrieve all records. I want any search criteria entered into this field to be used against the last_name field to retrieve any records equal to the search criteria entered, for example A%. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi!
You have to use PRE-QUERY trigger to compose the search criteria. Below I put an example of it. You have to have at least one item in the block wich is true database item (e.g. it has to exist in table or view on which your block is based). In the following example EMP_DESC is your non-database search item and EMP_ID is the database one.
Declare
Dummy VARCHAR2 (2000);
begin
if :EMP.EMP_DESC IS NOT NULL and :EMP.EMP_ID IS NULL
then
Dummy := '#IN (SELECT emp_id FROM Employees WHERE Upper (emp_first_name)||'' ''||Upper (emp_sec_name) LIKE Upper (''%'||:EMP.EMP_DESC||'%''))';
Copy (Dummy, 'EMP.EMP_ID');
end if;
end;
Thats it. Note the # sign in the first position of the Dummy assignment. This is required by forms to glue your search criteria and block's where clause. You may analize LAST_QUERY property of your block in order to understand how this work. Remember also to set the QUERY_LENGTH property of the EMP_DESC item to the value that could contain the whole Dummy string (otherwise it will give you an error and cut the mar the query).
Hope this helps.
Sergey.
P.S. And set your EMP_DESC database item property to NO.
