Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

The simpliest method would be:
Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

  • Help with repeating text field data on subsequent pages

    I am very new to adobe live cycle designer. I developed a form and I would like some of the text fields on page 1 to fill automatically with the same information on pages 2 and 3 so the user does not have to be filling out the same information over and over.(The information on the other pages is going to be the same as the one on page 1.
    Is there a way to do this? THANKS!
    Matty

    Thank you so much for your quick response. IT WORKED and you have saved me a lot of time. Are there any books available in the market for those of us who want to get more proficient in the program? I just came from a very well known bookstore and they did not have any.
    THANK YOU AGAIN!

  • Unable to capture field values in Master agreement  Line Items

    I am trying to get the field values from master agreement line items page. I have written the following code to get the line item details which is working fine to capture part number and quantity->
    agreementBean = doc.getRootParentIBean();
    lineItemCollection = agreementBean.getLineItems();
    collectionsize = lineItemCollection.size();
    for(i=0;i<collectionsize;i++){
         collectionbean = lineItemCollection.get(i);
         partNum = ""+collectionbean.getPartNumber() ;
         Quantity = ""+collectionbean.getQuantity();     
         throw doc.createApplicationException(null,partNum + " , " + Quantity );
    Now, my problem is that I am unable to capture the following field item values in the master agreement > line items page.
    1. Price Unit
    2. Unit Price
    3. Product Category

    This will return the name of the plant.
    .getExtensionField("PLANT").get().getDisplayName(session);
    Check if this returns the product category
    collectionbean.getExtensionField("ITEM_CAT").get().getDisplayName();
    This will Return the Price
    collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getPrice();
    (return type :BigDecimal)
    This will return the currency
    collectionbean.getExtensionField("PRICE").get().getCurrency;
    (Return type:String)
    Similarly to retrieve other fields for which there are no standard functions, use .getExtensionField("Field ID")
    Hope this helps

  • How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

    I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks so much - it works!

    Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
    var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
    var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
    if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
    else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

  • How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

    I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
    Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
    Caroline

    Hey Mandy,
    Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
    And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
    Thx,
    C

  • Want to hide the drop down based on text field value

    Hi,
    I want to hide some of the values in drop down based on one text field value.
    I have the field called name which has the value A, B, C, D and also one drop down list which has the values 1,2,3,4,5,6. I want to hide the some of the values in drop down based on A or B or C. Let say, If it is A, drop down value should be 1,3,5. If it is B, Drop down value should be 1,2,3,4. Like this for every record.
    Can you please help me out.
    Thanks
    Ram

    Hi Robert,
    I am trying it in two different way. Please suggest which is the right one and feasible.
    1) I have the drop down list which has all the status. I am trying to hide the drop down values based on one text field value for all records.
    2) I have collected all the drop down values into table in webdynpro method. Rightnow I have two tables.
      one has line items details and another one have drop down values. both tables having common fields.
      I have to show second table values for that particular key, move all of them to drop down.
    Which is the best and feasible option.
    Thanks

  • Fields on the master page - NOT saving in Reader!

    I have forms that I've setup through Designer 7.1 and enabled through Acrobat 8. I'm currently using Reader 8 to open and fill in the forms. The fields that are on the master page (i.e., "Page ___ of ___" footer) DO NOT save, either in Reader 7 or 8. I can type in my info and it shows up just fine in the PDF preview pane (nothing seems to be blocking it and it is appropriately setup within a subform). I'm hoping this doesn't mean I have to go through all 800+ of my forms and redo what I've already created....

    Check the binding tab for the fields. They may not be bound. By default, when you add a field to a master page, it is not bound (i.e. default binding is "none").

  • Text Field value display twice in Adobe Form.

    Hi Experts,
    I want to display a text field value twice in a ADOBE FORM but it only display at first occurance of the text field.
    Please suggest me possible solution.
    Regards,
    Abdul

    Why don't you have two different text fields in the interface and bind them separately at the two different places in the form. In the driver program you can control the value being passed to be same for both the fields.

  • Customize text on Book Album Master Page?

    How can I change the text style of the text in a metadata text box on a Book Album Master Page, other than selecting from the limited choices in the "Set Text Style" drop-down list?  I would like to customize the font family, size, and color.
    I am working with a Custom Theme (having given up on modifying the existing themes).
    I can change the text parameters applied to the text boxes on the Master Page, but those changes are not applied to the text boxes based on that Master Page (even after reapplying the Master).  Those changes _are_ "held" by the text boxes on the Master Page, however.
    Thanks!

    With Metadata Boxes, when I select the box in "Edit Layout" mode, no changes made via the Fonts dialog are applied.
    The metadata boxes seem to be built rigidly into the themes.
    Assuming that is correct  , is there any way to add to or modify the styles shown in the "Set Text Style" drop-down?
    I have not tried to change the behaviour. There is a list of textstyles for the custom book template inside the Aperture Application bundle:  
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate/TextStyles.plis t
    When I open this file in Xcode I am seeing a list of fonts for Title, Cover Title, etc.
    The EXIF properties are formatted in
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate/TextStyles.plis t
    Probably you could create a new custom template by creating a copy of /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Resources/CustomBookTemplate  and editing these files in the copy, but as I said, I never tried this.

  • Dynamically bind website text field values to PDF document

    Hi there,
    I am in search of a step by step tutorial on how to generate a pdf document based on values from website text fields.
    I have a form produced in Live Cycle Designer ES3 and a website in which we insert test results for our company to a MySql database.
    My thoughts was that when we have inserted values on the website we could have a link to the pdf document and the same values would
    somehow magically appear on the pdf. Have read somewhere that this can be done with XML and the use of different 3rd party programs.
    Is this possible?
    What approach would be the easiest? Perhaps someone knows about a tutorial on the matter?
    Data is stored from PHP website to MySql database. Website produced in Dreamweaver CS5
    Thanks in advance for any tips/help!
    Regards,
    Christian

    It's possible with an XFA form as well as an AcroForm, but to do the work on a server additional software is needed as you mentioned. Adobe's offering is in their LiveCycle lineup and possibly . Others from third-parties include FDFMerge, PDFlib, iText, Debenu Quick PDF Library, and others. The idea is you merge the data with the PDF on the server and serve it up or save it on the server and provide a link on the HTML page that's returned. Documentation for these libraries will include samples, but you'll also have to learn how to do this securely if that's important for the system you're putting together.

  • Change the font typeface of text object in form Master Page

    Dear all,
            I am creating a Adobe Livecycle form with multi-language support. Simply, there is a header title that is a text object in master page. I want that it can be converted to simplified Chinese from English and change its font typeface to “SimSun” when printing begins. I try the following code on its “Initize” event to do this.
    Simply, I configure a print flag(Y/N) in form so that it will convert into simplified Chinese and change the font typeface to ‘SimSun’ when the flag is reset to ‘Y’.
    Int langInt = i ;       
    If (pFlag  == “Y”) {
               PaymentRequisitionApp.pageSet.Page1.MasterSubform. Text1.value.text.value = l_XML.Record[i].TITLE.toString();
               PaymentRequisitionApp.pageSet.Page1.MasterSubform. Text1.font.typeface ="simsun";
    I found that it doesn’t work. There is something else in the form to reset the title to English. So I try to paste the code above in “calculate” event of tex1 object. It’s work!
    Question:
    1.      Anyone can tell me that the implement order of the events in the form?
    2.      Does it exist other better way to do this?
            3.  Which event, function or any else let the master page’s object to be reset?

  • Trying to use web app text field to redirect a page.

    I am trying to create a web app, that will provide 'members' with a page that they can use to redirect to other pages of their choice. What I want to do is allow the member user to select (from a dropdown menu, or even input their own into a text field) a specific url (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage) on their customer page. Once they select the url they want, and save their info, that url will be used in a redirect page, (i.e. <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url={tag_redirectURL}"> or something to that effect. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to do it? Ultimately, I want the user to be able to change on the fly where someone goes when they share their user link with a friend (i.e. http://www.mywebsite.com/userpage/ will take someone to a facebook page or to a youtube video, or some other page they redirect to) so they can switch it on their own when they choose to.

    Hi Scott,
    You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    window.location = "{tag_your-url-field}"
    //-->
    </script>
    Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.
    Cheers,

  • Data from one text field to another text field on the next page

    Hi all,
    Hi I have a form, which has data coming in from the data binding, the thing is the data is mapped to a certain text field and if that text field is filled up it should be continued on to the other text field which is on the immediate page following it. the reason for using text field instead of  Subform and make it expandable is  the client does not want to change the position and structure of other fields following that field, they are o.k with the amount overflowed in to the next text field .
    is there any script for the same condition in Java script or form calc.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is not as simple as it sounds. You will not be able to split the field up during the time of binding. The entire string must go into the field and only after it has completed the biinding can we change it around. A colleage of mine did this for an interactive field and it involved some pretty complicated code. Here is a link to her blog entry that describes what she did:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lcdesigner/2008/07/an_example_of_splitting_text_a.html
    But that is only part of the problem.....once you split the information across two fields you will need to recombine it back into a single field so that the data that is submitted can represent it correctly again. So you will have to reverse the process in a presubmission step.
    Make sense?

  • How to get readonly text field value in backing bean?

    Below is my code in JSF.
    <h:inputText id="prodLine" value="#{fbackingBean.value}" required="true" styleClass="readOnlyField" readonly="true"/>
    This is a readonly field, and the value will been pass in by a pop up window. after the value had been passed in, i try to store the data which i had selected, but the value in readonly field (which show in above) return a null value.
    May i noe how can i get the readonly field value in backing bean? thanks!

    Why not keep track of the value in the backing bean? If it's a read only value set from a backing bean it should be simple to retrieve from a backing bean.
    I'm new to JSF, but one thing that I have figured out is to try to put everything in the backing beans possible and to do as little as possible within the JFS web page components.
