Print hidden subforms

Hi
I have a form in which last few pages are in the hidden state.
Now, On a click of a button I should be able to print the pages only which are in hidden state.
I have used xfa.host.print(...)
But the problem here is, the whole form is in flowable state in which page numbers keep on changing so we cannot fix the start and end page to print.
Pls help.
Thanks,
Abhiram

Hi,
Make your hidden subforms also flowable, so that they will be always in last pages.
Should this help.

How to get a hidden subform to appear?

In my Adobe LCD book it tells me I can do all this nifty stuff with invisible and hidden subforms and objects. But it doesn't go into detail as to HOW to do it.
I know I need to set the presence of the subform to hidden... but after that??
Background:
I am creating a dynamic form which will have 2 radio buttons at the very top -
one for "changes required"
one for "no changes required"
Between the radio buttons and signature boxes I have a subform (with some instructions and a text field) with presence set to Hidden (exclude from Layout).
At the bottom of the form are signature boxes.
Two problems -
1) The space where the hidden subform is stays exactly the same - in other words, the signature boxes do not move up.
2) In the interest of having a nice, tidy printout, I want to have the subform containing the instructions and the info text field appear when "changes required" is selected. I know this is not a big deal except that I cannot find a simple instruction on how to do it.
I appreciate help - everyone has been so good to me on this forum. I hope someone can come through for me again. Even if you provide an example from which I can extrapolate the answer, or a snippet of code, or anything. I find that many books and help systems speak to what the software can do but without explaining how we actually make it work. Thank you!

Hi Bruce, thanks for your reply.
I think I was not clear in my question, though you have a point about the subforms.
My form is 1 page. It's dynamic, but I don't have fields that will be expanding down the page.
What I want to happen is when someone clicks the "Change Needed" radio button, a subform appears with a text box of instruction and a text field in which the person can type what the changes are.
Initially, when someone sees this form, it is not visible. Only upon clicking the Change Needed button does it appear. Or at least, that is what I want to make happen.
I decided that it's not important that the signature boxes at the bottom move at all whether the Change subform is visible or not, based on the clicked button.
Does that explain better what I want to happen? It's pretty simple yet I cannot figure it out. Do I use java script? Do I type something somewhere? What tools do I use to make this appear?
thanks

Hidden subforms when form is opened

I am having a problem with hidden subforms. I have subforms that are orginally hidden, and become visible when an item in a drop down list is selected. When I save the form, and re-open it, the subforms are hidden again. The only way to make them visible again is to manually re-selct the item on the drop down list.
I have the following script for them:
form1.SubFormPage1.Information.Row5.DropDownList2::exit - (FormCalc, client)
form1.SubFormPage1.Information.Row6::initialize - (FormCalc, client)
Information.Row6.presence = "hidden" ;
and
if (DropDownList2.rawValue == "Aircraft Operation" or DropDownList2.rawValue == "Aircraft Maintenance") then;
Row6.presence = "visible" ;
else
Row6.presence = "hidden" ;
endif
I know that my issue is that I have the row "hidden" in initialize, but when I don't have that line of script, the subform is always visible.
Hope that makes sense.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Leslie

1. Change to subform presence is hidden . (always . )
2. While initializing the subform just check wheathere the required data is selected from the list box or not .
3. If the value is selected then it should be visible . otherwise it should be hiddden .
the above 2 and 3 is missing in the code .
Add the code in theinitaialize of subform whatever you written in the list box .
like same as
if (DropDownList2.rawValue == "Aircraft Operation" or DropDownList2.rawValue == "Aircraft Maintenance") then;
Row6.presence = "visible" ;
else
Row6.presence = "hidden" ;
endif
Now while openeing the PDF it will check the above condition and if its selected it will be visible otherwise it will be hide .

Need Help scripting Multiple Dependencies to show hidden subform.

I'm trying to make it so two boxes have to be checked to show a hidden subform. I thought the script would be something like this:
if (Check1.rawValue==1)
&& (Check2.rawValue==1){
Sub1.presence="visible";
else{
Sub1.presence="hidden";
It's not working at all though, so I'm obviously mistaken in my logic.
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Kind of a stand still until I get this one figured out, otherwise I have to change how my document will be designed. Thanks.
Mike

I don't have LiveCycle but you from a javascript standpoint yuo might not need all those parenthesis in your if statement. Try:
if ( Check1.rawValue == 1 && Check2.rawValue == 1 ) {
Sub1.presence = "visible";
} else {
Sub1.presence= "hidden";
That is assuming that the "Check1", "Check2" and "Sub1" variables are setup to properly reference your live cycle form elements. If those variables are right then my if statement above should work for you.
If this still doesn't work for you, you might try posting this in the LiveCycle forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle

How to print hidden text in answer box

How can you print the hidden text in answer boxes on PDF forms?

I am not sure I understand your question. Are you importing a PDF with Hidden Fields into FormsCentral?
If this is the case FormsCentral ignores hidden fields and doesn't create column in the response table for those.

Printing hidden text in a PDF form

I have created a form to be filled in by a large customer base. Some boxes have the ability to type in more copy than the box will fit creating a scroll bar.
My problem is then how does the user print the text that is hidden I just get the copy that can be seen and nothing else.
Here's hoping for a reply.

Select the whole text.
Copy the text in a text editor.
Print the text.

Acrobat 9.3.2 printing hidden fields automatically

We have a few clients internally running Acrobat Standard 9.0.0 and their documents are printing fine. One user upgraded to 9.3.2, and now when they try and print some of our documents, a hidden field area is automatically printing. I can't seem to find a way to turn it off. It doesn't appear in the document, or in print preview. Choosing to Examing the document and remove it removes the text, but not the spacing that the hidden area added. is there a setting to never print this? It's not something we want to have to adjust each time we open a document.

Glad it helped; (for any nit-pickers out there I should have typed 8.2.2, sorry).
There are others with similar issues:-

Printing hidden / visible fields

Morning
I have an interactive form that hides and shows particular subforms when printing. It's currently set so the subform on page 1 will hide when printing. The content on page 2 is separated by a page break as it must always sit a page away from the content on page 1. The problem I'm having is when the content on page 1 hides the content on page 2 won't shift to the first so I'm left with a blank page. Is there a command so I can set the content on page 2 to move to the top of the document wheN printing?
Hope this makes sense
Advice would be appreciated
Many thanks
Ben

1) Select your subform on page 1
2) In the Object palette, under the Pagination tab, select After: Go To Next Page.
I'm not sure how you're currently using a page break but you might have to remove it in order for this to work.

Issue with hidden subforms and fields becoming visible when scrolling

Hi all:
Was testing an XFA form on a 13" macbook air when I noticed something odd: Page 1 (which had a presence of "hidden") became visible on-screen when scrolling down Page 2, which was set to visible. For lack of a better description, Page 1 "bled through" the currently visible page but then disappeared after the scrolling action was complete.
Here was the sequence:
- FYI: 4 pages in the form; only one page is visible at a time. When the document opens, Page 1 is visible and all the others are hidden.
- Opened on a MAC with Reader XI
- Answered questions on Page 1 and clicked a "next" button which set Page1 to hidden and Page 2 to visible;
- I zoomed in for a better view on Page 2 (again Pages 1, 3,4 are all "hidden" at this point)
- When I placed two-fingers on the track pad and scrolled down, the bottom of hidden PAGE 1 was revealed during the scroll, not the bottom of Page 2.
- When I lifted my fingers OFF the track pad, the bottom portion of Page 1 that became visible while scrolling disappeared and was replaced by the bottom of Page 2.
Same thing happened with pages 3 & 4. If I zoom in and scroll up, down, left or right using the track pad, Page 1 (even though it is set to hidden) "bleeds through" during the scroll and then disappears when fingers are lifted off the track pad.
I've done some testing and it happens on Macs running Reader. Mac with Acrobat and PCs with either Acrobat or Reader appear to be fine but not finished testing.
Made a simple working example. Again, be sure to open on a Mac with Reader if you want to see it happen. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jnf4uxntuzvrk7p/bleed%20through%20tests.pdf?dl=0
Has anyone else experienced this?? How can we stop it from happening as it is extremely confusing to the end-user to have two different pages mixing together when scrolling.
Thanks much.
Brian

Just reaching out to the community again on this. Any thoughts or similar experiences?
FYI, I tested the new Reader DC for this issue yesterday and it's still there. Hidden pages still bleed through.

How to not make a report NOT print hidden fields

I have a report were i have alot of hidden fields under my real report. My report uses calculations from the hidden fields.
My problem is that when i run the report and export it to for example PDF. It generates 4 pages. 3 of them are empty and the first one is the one i only want to use.
I think this is because i have so meny hidden fields. So can i do something so that the pages with hidden fields do not get exportet?
Systemdeveloper @ 4film

Hi Edvard,
According to your description, when exporting the report, you don't want to have the hidden fields exported. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we export a report, all the parts in this will be exported including all the hidden report parts. In this scenario, even you cancel the page break and make it together on one page, those hidden fields will still be exported
as blank space in your report. And if there are too many hidden parts, it will exceed the page size and still have blank page in your report. So for your requirement, we suggest you use some function like Lookup(), LookupSet() in expression to do calculation
for other data fields instead of using a lot of hidden fields.
Reference:
Lookup Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
LookupSet Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
Correct, i don't want them exported. when i generate the report all my required data fits on one page. And then i get three blanks.

Pdf printing hidden lines

Hi there,
Acrobat X Professional 10.1.3.
I keep bumping into files that contain & print horizontal lines throughout the document. I'm at a loss. These documents were sent to me from a client and not created here.
You can see these lines in the thumbnail view as well as the layer.
I tried to hide it as a separate layer in preflight, re-pdf, blast to tiff, etc.; all to no avail. I have a few hundred files that are like this.
Here is the file with layers.
expired
Here is the original file.

Any suggestions on how to remove these lines and/or print without them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

Submitted Data File Not Showing Hidden Subforms

I've just started with Livecycle and can't seem to find an answre to my problem.
I've got 4 radio buttons that each unhide one of 4 drop downs in a subform.
When I submit the form by email (Button with type set as submit) the correct radio is displayed but it is not unhiding the subform.
It is set to be a dynamic form.
I've included the the form as it is so far. I would love feedback / suggestions on better ways to do things if anyone is willing to help.

In Form Properties off the File Menu go the Defaults tab and under Scripting select Automatically under "Preserve scripting changes to form when saved."

Could someone help me figure out why after saving a form some subforms are hidden again

I am asking this on behalf of a coworker. We have a form she is working on with a drop down (ddlDropDown) with 1, 2, and 3 listed (same values,,1,2,3) That trigger hidden subforms to appear (Employee1, Employee2, Employee3). Initially, Employee1 is visible. If form user selects 2 or 3 in the dropdown then Employee2 and Employee3 become Visible. Once the form is filled in, saved, closed and reopened Employee2 and Employee3 are hidden again even though the dropdown says 2 or 3. The script behind the dropdown's change event is:
subSELECT.Employee1.presence=this.rawValue==1?"visible":"hidden";
subSELECT.Employee2.presence=this.rawValue==2?"visible":"hidden";
subSELECT.Employee3.presence=this.rawValue==3?"visible":"hidden";
I have tried adding this code to the form's initialize, docReady, preOpen, postOpen, layout:ready events but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Here is a sample I created based on your comments and it works just fine for me after saving the form.
Employee2 and Employee3 subforms have their presence property set to hidden. I have the script in the exit event of the dropdownlist.
Here is the sample:

Help with Hidden Drop Down Lists in RBList subforms

I have created a form that contains 3 isolated Radio Button lists, each with hidden subforms that are unique per each button.
Two of my RBLists and subforms work perfectly, showing hidden Drop Down List options and other fields as they should when a button is selected.
However, RBList3 presents the Drop Down lists as user entry fields only. Each hidden subform in RBList3 contains one drop down menu and one text box for instructions.
I've used the same javascript to hide/show hidden fields when buttons are selected. All settings seem to match up. Here is a sample of my code:
if(RBList3.F.rawValue != 2)
    this.presence = "hidden";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
else if(RBList3.F.rawValue == 2)
    this.presence = "visible";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make my Drop Down Lists in RBList3 show as functional Drop lists?
I have attached the form for reference.

Hi Paul,
I see that the code works for radio button G selection in the change event. However, what I really need to happen...is for the RBList options to be present on the screen without any subform data until the user clicks button E, F or G. If either E or F is selected, then the drop list and the text box would pop up as you currently have them placed on screen.
My original problem was that the EdgeDropDown2 list loses its functionality when wrapped in a hidden subform (i.e. SubformE or SubformF).
Can I add code to the change event to make EdgeDropDown2 and PanzDrawTxt appear only if either E or F are chosen. The code you wrote below works only for G selection.
if(this.rawValue != 3)
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "visible";
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "visible";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "hidden";
}else {
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "hidden";
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "hidden";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "visible";
