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.

Hidden/Visible fields

I am stuck on one thing.
I have a radio button that is clicked that will bring up certain fields. I have included the hidden/visible fields that work just fine.
I have a check box further down that when clicked brings up certain fields based on the radio button mentioned. I have hidden the fields and coded to hide the fields and show the fields where necessary. But, I need the fields related to the checkbox to execute the same instructions as the radio button. If 1 is true for the radio button, I need it to show for the fields at the top and also for the fields at the bottom. At this point, if I have it visible for the radio button then it is visible for the checkbox regardless of what I input there. I really hope this makes sense. Not quite sure how to explain this.
Thank you!
Coding for the radio button:
if(this.rawValue=="1")
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Ince.presence = "hidden";
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Incf.presence = "hidden";
else
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Ince.presence = "hidden";
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Incf.presence = "hidden";
For the checkbox:
if (this.rawValue=="1")
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Ince.presence = "visible";
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Incf.presence = "visible";
else
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Ince.presence = "hidden";
FORM.Main.sfConventional.tblChecklist.B2Incf.presence = "hidden";

Hi,
I am also not clear what are you trying to explain here. What am assuming here is you want to execute the same code in the CheckBox as that of radioButton. In that case you can call the event of the RadioButton in the Click/Change event of the CheckBox.
Lets say you have written the code in the Change event of the RadioButton.
In the change event of the checkbox you can write the following code.
RadioButton1.execEvent("change");
Thanks,

Visible fields in Acrobat or Live Cycle

I have used both LiveCycle and Acrobat to make this PDF that my clients will be able to download and place their own company name in the text field I have provided.
The problem is the text field shows up as a blue box.
Now I have gone through every option i.e. visible, hidden, visible on screen only, etc..
I want my clients to have the option of sending this to their client or to print it out, whichever they choose. But I don't want the blue box on it at all, in print or on screen.
The MAC I have doesn't show the blue box at all which is perfect. But all the PC's have it on the screen.
I would almost bet it can be done I just don't know how.
Thanks in advance
Wade

I believe what you're talking about is controlled by a user preference. Specifically, "Show background and hover color for form fields", or some such. See "Edit > Preferences > Forms...". In other words, you cannot control this from a PDF. FWIW, it does not show up when printed.

How to print out fillable fields only

I'm a newb, help! I am trying to create a form in LiveCycle.
I have brought in a pdf, made some fillable fields. So far so good, here's where I'm struggling.
I want the recipient of the pdf to fill out the forms, (while still seeing the pdf in the background), BUT when they print, I want them to ONLY print out the information that they filled in the fillable fields.
So basically, they receive a document in Adobe Reader, it has a pdf in the background, and they fill in some fields, then they place a page in their printer to just print the fillable fields only.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

"You can control the visibility of objects using the presence property"
Here is where I get confused. I understand that you can change the visibilty in this area, but I want the pdf background that is part of my form to be the area that doesn't print, so I can't understand how I highlight that particular area to switch it to "screen only" because it isn't really considering a text field or anything like that, it was just a pdf that I imported from the start and then built all my text fields on top of.

How Do I Display A Hidden Form Field On Executing A Button (Yes Again But In More Depth)

Hi,
Yes, I just asked this question but was not specific enough. Ive looking for code within a JavaScript that will enable a hidden form field within a PDF to be displayed.
What I am attempting to do is to display form field 'Text1" when the button is pushed executing a check of the system date. Im looking for the code to execute the following:
If the system date is equal to or greater then '2009/02/01' (yyyy,mm,dd), then display 'Text1'.
I'm using Adobe pro 8.
Thank You for any help.

You could so something like the following in the Mouse Up event of the button:
// Get system date
var Now = new Date();
// Get cutoff date
var End = util.scand("yyyy/mm/dd", "2009/02/01");
// Set the visibilty of field Text1 based on the date
getField("Text1").display = (Now > End) ? display.visible : display.hidden;

I have developed a fillable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Professional X but when I try to use the Airprint feature the form print minus the field data, have anyone been able to resolve this issue?

Hi,
I had a similar problem and found help for it. Go to the "Advanced" menu and select Extend features in Adobe Reader. That will enable rights which may resolve your problem. If that doesn't work, there is a really helpful guy in here, Robert Levine. You may want to ask him directly.

Hi,
Since you're on 9i some available functionality unfortunatly isn't at your disposal.
This should work, however, using your sample data:
MHO%xe> create table t as ( -- generating sample data:
2 select 1 cid, 'AB' cname, 120 cvalue from dual union all
3 select 1, 'BC', 150 from dual union all
4 select 1, 'CD', 130 from dual union all
5 select 2, 'AB', 111 from dual union all
6 select 2, 'BC', 112 from dual union all
7 select 2, 'CD', 113 from dual
8 );
Tabel is aangemaakt.
MHO%xe> select cid
2 ,      max(decode(cname, 'BC', cvalue, null)) BC_value
3 ,      max(decode(cname, 'CD', cvalue, null)) CD_value
4 from   t
5 group by cid;
       CID   BC_VALUE   CD_VALUE
         1        150        130
         2        112        113For reference and future challenges, see:

Printing the "country" field on envelopes

I noticed that there is a setting to print the "country: field, but then another setting called "except my country". What is this supposed to do?
The reason I ask is that this option always hides this field, regardless of whether it is my country (United Kingdom) or Germany, or United States or whatever.
Is there somehwere I should set my own country so that Address Book knows which country I live in? My own entry in the Address Book already has this, but perehaps there's somewhere else?

I think I have got it working the way it is obviously intended to. It doesn't matter what you have on your "me" card, Address Book assumes that "my country" is the one selected in Preferences/General/Address Format. After that, it doesn't matter what you have in the country field of a contact, it will decide if they are in "my country" based on the address format selected for their card. You can change this in edit mode by clicking the type (home, work etc) label of the address field.

Getting two session varibles into one hidden form field

In a hypothetical exaple, if my first session variable is kt_user_name and it's value is bestperson, and my second variable session is kt_exerreference and it's value is ex1a, I'd like have the value submitted in the hidden form field to be bestpersonex1a (without any spaces if possible). This is the code that I have for the hidden form field that submits the server variables:
 
 
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="exerreference" id="exerreference" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['kt_user_name'].$_SESSION['kt_login_user']; ?>" />
 
 But the form also has a php section above the head that seems to add the values to the databse. Here is the beginning of the code with the the first 4 values:
 
 // Add columns
 $ins_exer1->setTable("exer1");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("user_name", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "kt_user_name"."kt_login_user");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("exerreference", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "kt_user_name");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("Shapes_present_with_target", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Shapes_present_with_target");
 
 My question is how do I also configure the code in the 2nd string of this "Add Columns" code to insert both server variables? When I put one server variable as the value in this code (0n line 2), it only inserted the one session varialbe value (not 2 as are in the form field). As you can see, I currently have "kt_user_name"."kt_login_user" which is givig me server errors.
 
 Here's another idea that didn't work yet:
 
 // Add columns
 $user = $_SESSION['kt_user_name'].$_SESSION['kt_login_user'];
 $ins_exer1->setTable("exer1");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("user_name", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "$user");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("exerreference", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "kt_user_name");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("Shapes_present_with_target", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Shapes_present_with_target");
 
 Any ideas on the correct syntax?
 
 Thanks for any help.</form>

Günter,
 
 I think I did as you suggested. I put this as the form field:
 
 
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="exerreference" id="exerreference" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['kt_user_name']; ?><?php echo $_SESSION['kt_login_user']; ?> " />
 
 and changed back the Add columns section to this:
 
 // Add columns
 $ins_exer1->setTable("exer1");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("user_name", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "kt_user_name");
 $ins_exer1->addColumn("exerreference", "STRING_TYPE", "SESSION", "kt_user_name");
 
 The form does submit now, but only the kt_user_name server varible is showing up in the exerreference field of the databaswe, not also the kt_login_user server variable.
 
 Any ideas on what to do to get it working right? Do I need to modify the exerreference string in the Add columns section?
 
 Thanks - Dale</form>

Why won't Contacts print the "company" field?

When trying to print a list from Contacts, it won't include the Company. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1. This problem doesn't exist on my old iMac with OS 10.6.8. Contacts on the Cloud will let me print the company field.

Hi,
Same problem here.
The printable lists from Contacts exclude the Company name. The photo also sometimes excludes, sometimes does not. Same with Nickname, and some other fields.
Yes, I check off the items in the Attributes selection when printing the list. The information is also excluded when choosing "Export as PDF..."
If I export the contact as a VCF, the information is exported. Re-importing it does not help, though.

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:-

Hidden/Visible text fields in saved PDF

I got some very helpful advice yesterday about deleting content from hidden boxes (text fields). I have another related problem that somebody might have an answer for. I have text fields that are hidden or visible depending on selections made in drop-down lists. This is working fine but I've noticed something strange. When a user completes the form, saves it, closes it, and re-opens it--all of the text boxes are visible. Has anyone run across this? If so--is there some script I can add to fix this?

You are not saving the state of the form. You can do this programmatically but there is a facility in Designer that will do it for you. If you open the Form Properties under the File menu then click the Defaults tab, you will see a section called Scripting. In that section make sure that the "Preserve Scripting changes to for when saved" radio button is set to Automatically.

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.

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.
