Preview not saving check boxes in PDF forms

For some reason 10.6's preview will not save check boxes in PDF forms, you can click them but as soon as you save them they disappear.

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.

Want Print Priview of check box on smart forms

Hi Expert,
I want Print Priview of check box on smart forms.
I get the checkbox symbol when i give the print out but it not show in priview.
So pls suggest how it show in print priview.
Thanks & Regards
SwatantraPathak

Hi,
If you used the symbols then you cannot see the print preview of the checkboxes. This can seen in the print. If you want to have the print preview of checkbiex you have to create the Window of same size as check size and place it where you required. This cannot be possible with symbols

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.

"Check Box" in ADF Form is not Working in JDev11.1.1.2

11gR1 :
I created an ADF Form in a JSF Page and I deleted one column and draged the same column again as an "ADF selectBooleanCheckbox "
and in Edit Boolean Binding Dialog : I entered the value selected as 'True' and unselected value as 'False'
and when I run the Page the data did not Synchronize with the chech box item.
Note :- although the check box Item is working with Adf Table in example #145 at link http://blogs.oracle.com/smuenchadf
can anybody help me?
regards
Forakora

Hi,
just tried and found out that you have to set partial triggers for the af:selectBooleanCheckbox like:
              <af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bindings.Deptno.inputValue}"
                                        label="#{bindings.Deptno.label}"
                                        shortDesc="#{bindings.Deptno.hints.tooltip}"
                                        id="sbc1" partialTriggers="cb1 cb2"/>
              <af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Next.execute}"
                                text="Next" partialSubmit="true" id="cb1"/>
              <af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Previous.execute}"
                                text="Previous" partialSubmit="true" id="cb2"/>regards,

Combining pdf files in Preview not saved

I'm trying to combine screenshots into one pdf file. I clicked on the side bar button and dragged the files I wanted into the side bar and then saved this as a pdf file. It showed it as saving all the pages but when I closed it and reopened it, it had only one file. (It was now opened in Adobe Reader). Why is it not saving it as a combined file?
Thanks,
Kathy

Preview not saving when converting multiple .eps files to .pdf

Hi,
I have a macbook pro with snow leopard. I open a group of .eps image files using preview into the same window. I then shut the window with "cmd w". It says do you want to save all. I click save all. But then no saves are made.
If i open the group of .eps files using preview into separate windows and click "cmd w", then click save, it tries to save as untitled.pdf as opposed to "filename".pdf.
I previously used preview on a powerbook to convert .eps images to .pdf. In that version of preview the files would open in their own window. When i hit "cmd w" and save it would use save file as "filename".pdf.
Why does the newer version of preview not at least do this? Preferably the new version of preview would save all the .eps files as a batch as stated in my first sentence.
Does anyone have any ideas what i can do?

Possibly similar problem:
When I open a JPEG in Preview, adjust the quality, and try to Save As, it simply saves as the original, not the new reduced-quality file. This is true even if I save it in a new location.
- open a 200kb JPEG
- try to Save As with quality reduced to only 50kb
- it saves as the original 200kb file

Preview starts saving the changes in pdf doc and leads to freezing

I was reading a book in preview and i did some highighting work in the ebook.

How to use a check box in smart forms????

Hi All,
Pls let me know how to use check boxes in smartforms.....??
there are check boxe available which are crossed (i.e,, selected checkboxes) in the smartforms..
But i need a checkbox which are not selected.( i.e.., which are not crossed).
Its really urgent...
Quick responses are highly appreciable..

Refer this thread
Re: how to display symbols in smartforms
We can create symbols in smartforms. For this, change the editor to text editor and then goto insert->characters->SAP Symbols and select the symbol you want.
You cannot see the symbols in print preview, it'll appear only on a hard copy.
You can also create as Text Element. In the left side of the right window,you can see a icon called Editor.Click it.
Then in the Menu,
go to->Change Editor
Then in the menu,
Insert->Characters->Displayable characters,select the character you want.Otherwise,if you want to insert SAP Icon,select that option instead of Displayable Character.

Referencing Check Boxes on Another Form

From one form, I want to reference the rows that have been checked on another form.
The Process
I have a form with many items/rows. Each item/row has a check box and Unique Id on this form. I would like to click multiple check boxes indicating the rows I want to work with. When I click a button, I would like to open a new form with only those items I have checked.
While I have lots of documentation, I am so new I am not sure where to look.

And here's another: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/so-where-does-javascript-go-in-acrobat
Thom has a number of other tutorials on acrobatusers.com that shold be helpful as well.

Check box in interactive report is literal string not a check box ???

I'm trying to create a check box in an interactive report using the APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX function.
My select statement is :
select     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."ID" as "ID",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."START_DATE" as "START_DATE",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."END_DATE" as "END_DATE",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."DURATION" as "DURATION",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."EFFORT" as "EFFORT",
     APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,COMPLETED, 1) as "COMPLETED",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."ASSIGNED" as "ASSIGNED",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."CONSTRAINT_START" as "CONSTRAINT_START",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."CONSTRAINT_END" as "CONSTRAINT_END",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."DEPENDENCIES" as "DEPENDENCIES",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."NOTES" as "NOTES",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."PRIORITY" as "PRIORITY",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."ORGANIZATION" as "ORGANIZATION",
     "CUTOVER_TASKS"."TASK" as "TASK"
from     "CUTOVER_TASKS" "CUTOVER_TASKS"
This produces an interactive report with the COMPLETED column contents "<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="" 1 />"
The same sql in a regular report works properly and creates the check box.
Is there something else required for a check box in an interactive report ?
Using : Application Express 3.2.0.00.27

Go to Report Attributes and change the display type to "Standard Report Column" (instead of "Display as Text, escape special characters")
Go to Column Attributes for that column and change the List Of Values to None and uncheck all the column's interactive features (sort, aggregate, compute, etc)

Create Check box in Tabular form and report

This is Marilyn. I wanted to know if anybody can help me with the following scenario.
I created tabular form which has some LOV columns, and some check boxes. When the user clicks on "add row" button, I want to populate the row with the values from the LOV display to be selected by user, and some of the blank check box also display as empty check box in order for user to select check or uncheck them.
If this is possible, can you provide an example?
Thanks
