Saved text fields and check-boxes empty when 3D window activates

I've created Text Fields and Check-boxes in a pdf template, using LiveCycle Designer.
I create the 3D work in Reviewer, and use the pdf template during Export to 3D pdf.
Using 'Extend Features in Adobe Reader' the user can fill in the text fields, and click the check-boxes then save them with the pdf  - just using Reader.
So far this is great!
The problem comes when the pdf is opened again and the 3D window (A3DR_3DFrame) activated.
All the completed fields empty!
This is not great at all!
I've did some tests and found that the filelds only clear if I include the Configs selection list box with the special name 'A3DR_Configs' in the template pdf. (A3DR_Configs lists the Configs stored in the 3D Reviewer file and the user can select the config from that list).
This is unfortunate, as the A3DR_Configs window is useful since it indicates to the user which 3D config is currently being viewed (ie the name of the current config stays highlighted).
Is this a bug that can be fixed or is there a workaround?
thanks,
Ian

  • Cannot get acrobat to autodetect text fields and check boxes

    I am attempting to take an existing pdf document (life insurance application) and turn it into a fillable form that I can use interactively to complete and sign on screen instead of having to print and fill out by hand.  The document has multiple pages including one page 18 that already has fields in it.  The rest of the document does not have fields in it.  When I attempt to create a form, it does not detect any of the other fields before page 18.  It does detect fields after page 18 where the previously fields were already in the original document.  What can I do to get Acrobat to detect the fields needed in the first 17 pages of the document and automatically insert them?  This is the reason I'm purchasing the software, for the automation of field insertion.  If it doesn't do that, there's many other software options that I can build a form in and insert the fields one at a time manually.  I don't want to do that because of the volume of documents I am going to be working with.  I can email the original document if that will help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Josh

    - You can't run the Fields Detection Wizard on a file that already has
    fields in it.
    - The reasons why the Wizard does or does not recognize a field, and what
    type of field, are not made public by Adobe. So basically if it works,
    great, if not, then you're out of luck...
    At any rate, be prepared to do some manual adjusting after running it
    because even when it works it often creates unwanted fields, fails to
    create wanted fields or creates fields with the wrong type (text boxes
    instead of check-boxes is a common problem).

  • Interactive fields and check boxes don't stay in tab order

    Hi everyone. I'm creating a census form for my parish which contains questions and check boxes. I've laid out the first section of this form (called Household Member 1), then gone back and added all the text fields / check boxes in the order in which I want the user to be able to tab through the form. When I open the Tab Order dialogue box to make sure the user will be able to tab through the form correctly, all the fields / check boxes are in the correct order. Now I need the exact same sections repeated... Household Member 2, Household Member 3, etc. In total, there will be 7 sections on the form that request the exact same information. So after I get the first section the way I want it, I copy and paste, or drag and duplicate the section with all it's fields onto the next page. However, when I check the Tab Order on this subsequent sections, all of my check boxes have moved to the end of the list, requiring me to have to manually move each check box back into its correct position in the section. This happens every time I duplicate the section... I have to manually put the tabs in their correct order. I tried duplicating the entire page rather than just duplicating the section, and the same thing happens. These fixes are tedious to say the least. Any thoughts about how to fix this would be appreciated.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Display text fields from check box?

    Hi
    Is there a way to display hidden text fields in a form
    whenever the check
    box is clicked?
    For example I have an option which asks how may we be of
    service to you?
    One option is 'estimates on conveyancing' , once this is
    clicked I need to
    display further text fields (estate agent, name of property,
    price of
    property etc)
    Thanks for any help

    Nope.
    First, I had trouble figuring how to apply the Form Calc to the Button, as opposed to the Button List.
    I actually had to edit the first line in the Script Editor, which seems pretty lame.
    That is to say, I just don't see how to get to the radio button, not the Object named RadioButtonList
    BUT, I can't UNCHECK the field once it's been checked. That is, if I click "on" the Radio Button, it won't revert to unchecked if I try to click it "off".
    In other words, if the person unchecks the Radio button due to some error, I need it to click off and the TextFiled to go back to being hidden.
    Like I said, this can't be that hard, or maybe I'm just missing what you're trying to explain. Any other ideas?

  • Check for text in a text field and make checkbox mandatory

    I have a text field where if the user has entered a value, then the checkbox that follows must be mandatory. I have this script that works (sort of), but I'm not sure which event to use to get the results I want. I want the message and the checkbox to be mandatory only if something is typed in the field.
    Here's the script:
    if ((this.rawValue != "null") || (this.rawValue != ""))
         CheckBox3.mandatory = "error";
         app.alert("Please indicate that you have reviewed the similar profile and approve it");    
    else if ((this.rawValue == "null") || (this.rawValue == ""))
         CheckBox3.mandatory = "disabled";
    Thanks,
    MDawn

    That worked. Thank you. I have another problem now. If the user deletes the information typed in the text field, the message box still displays and the checkbox is still outlined in red indicating it's required and it shouldn't be.
    Thanks,
    MDawn

  • Captivate 8, knowledge check radio buttons and check boxes not diplaying correctly in HTML5

    Hello. I am working in Cp 8 on a pc (Win 7, 64-bit) and publishing in HTML5, SCORM 2004, 3rd ed. My issue is with knowledge checks. In preview they look fine, but when published, the radio buttons and check boxes are oversized and do not appear as they should. Additionally, the rollover highlight that covers the distracters is skewed and does not cover all the text in cases of long answer choices. When published as a SWF, there are no issues but project requirements are for HTML5 output only. Help?

    Create an XML Schema (XSD) and define that as the default form schema. The form data will conforms to the order of fields defined in the XML schema.
    Hope that helps.

  • Text Field and Checkboxes

    Ok... i wish i can show my form without  letting everyone have axx to it.
    But anyway, ive searched and i think i found part of the answer but i am still confused.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/2033382#2033382
    I have a form created completely. It has radio fields, text fields and checkboxes.  I have two problems
    One when ppl are typing in the text field area, it seems to lend in with the question, so if not paying attn, u wont know that they answered a question.
    Currently i have the stuff set at Myriad Pro  size 10.. Thats what i used to type comments and what not.
    But when the end user flls out the form, i want it to at least be in bold or something.. Or maybe Times new roman Or something different from the question font itself.
    Two.. in checkboxes, the default is X. Thats very light.  I need that to be noticeable... So either make em a bod X or  a way to increase the size of the tick without increasing the size of the box itself.. I just tried to use the STAR..And its bold enuf, but its small. It would be better if the star was a lil bigger.
    Currently i think i have 150 checkboxes and about 50 text area and fields.
    I thought about making the text thing rich format, but they cant do that for every field...  id rather tdo that by default in the back end of the form itself.
    I hope im not sounding confusinf

    i know the square and circle are a bit ugly - but there is no chance you'll miss them
    alternatively try adjusting the size a bit under -size you can take a standard checkboxes size from 10 to 12 without increasing its area for example - select the checkbox-objects-field-size - change to 12 eg - adds a bit of weight
    i use squares when i need visual weigh -
    for the text - might be worth having a test at setting input field values with a baseline shift -- thats basically make text bigger or smaller than, you guessed it, baseline -- this from the livecycle scripting reference
    TextField1.font.baselineShift = "+5pt"; should do it for example --
    scripting reference follows --- good luck
    ""baselineShift
    Specifies a positive measurement that shifts a font up from the baseline or a negative measurement that
    shifts a font down from the baseline.

  • Turkish Character and Check Box "?" Problem in XML Publisher

    In aplication and XML Publisher I must use Turkish Characters e.g. 'ş','ı','ğ','ç','ö' and check boxes. In html preview there is no problem, I can see all of them correctly. Hovewer in PDF preview in XML Publisher and also PDF output in Oracle Application all these Turkish Characters and Check Boxes looks like question mark (?). How can I solve this problem ?
    Thanks for helps....

    Hi Tim,
    Related to Special Italian characters, when I try with "Courier New" font with static data,the XML Preview display those characters.But when those chars come from XML source file,they get vanished.I tried two cases:
    Case1 ) IN EBS,I have attached courbi.ttf(font file) to the template manager(followed as per instructions in Font mapping section in User Guide).
    When I try running the report ,its getting completed with Warning.
    Case 2) I have also modified xdo.cfg ( as per Doc ID:400755.1 www.metalink.oracle.com)-
    In both cases ,I am not acheving the desired results.
    Please let me know where I am going wrong.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How can I get text from a text field and display it in an alert?

    Hello!  I am BRAND NEW to Objective-C and Xcode and iOS, so PLEASE be forgiving of what is going to be a stupid question.  I have a text field.  I want to enter some text, click "return", and see my text in an alert.  It doesn't serve any useful purpose, but this is how I learn.  So far, I am unsuccessful.  Here's my function from my HelloEarthViewController.m file:
    -(IBAction)showInputMessageUITextField *)textField
    if ([textField.text isEqualToString:@""])
        return;
    UIAlertView *helloEarthInputAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                                         initWithTitle:@"Name!" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Message: %@", textField.text]
                                         delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    // Display this message.
    [helloEarthInputAlert show];
    Then I go option+click the text field and drag it to File's Owner and connect it to "showInputMessage:"  Then I run it and the build succeeds, but nothing happens when I click my "return" button on the iPhone simulator.
    What have I missed?  Where have I gone wrong? 

    Okay, here's where I am.  I have this in my view controller .h file:
    @interface HelloEarthViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
        IBOutlet UITextField *textFieldTest;
    @end
    And this in my view controller .m file:
    -(IBAction)showInputMessage
        if ([textFieldTest.text isEqualToString:@""])
            return;
        UIAlertView *helloEarthInputAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
                                             initWithTitle:@"Name!" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Message: %@", textFieldTest.text]
                                             delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        // Display this message.
        [helloEarthInputAlert show];
    And I have connected the text field to showInputMessage.  When I hit "return", however, I still get nothing.
    Is an "action button" a real button?  From my limited understanding, the alert should launch when I click "return" since showInputMessage is attached to Editing Did End on the text field.
    Thanks for the help.  The transition from writing C# for web applications to writing Objective-C for iOS applications is not going as smoothly as I'd anticipated.

  • Icons and check boxes in report output ?

    i want to display output with icons, and symbols (like Telephone) and check boxes in output of a report ?
    how pzzz anybody send the example ?

    Hi,
    We can use in alv output icons and check boxes
             ICON(1)        TYPE C,        " as icon
             SYMBOL(1)      TYPE C,        " as symbol
             CHECKBOX(1)    TYPE C,        " as checkbox
    in field catolog we can use these fields and you have to assign like remaing fields how you are using like that only.  If you know Icon function code or symbol you put there,  I think it may works.  
    Thanks

  • Creating List box and check box in structure

    Hi
    I have to include List box(Drop down) of lenght 20 and check box in a screen area.
    The fields on screen are to be transported from structure CI_PROJ in table PROJ.
    How can i Include List box and check box in my structure CI_PROJ.
    Also wat data type is required

    Hi,
             For the list box if you have the data element along with the search help then you can use that dataelement. If you dont have search help at dataelement level then for the structure you have to assign a search help directly. If you dont have data element it self then domain's fixed values will be shown in the drop down. For the check box you have to use a data element with a domain having CHAR and length 1.
    For the list box you will KEY and VALUES. Key is the one that is transfered to your program data and VALUE is the one that is shown to the user. You have to use the data element of your KEY for the list box.

    HI Suneel,
    Hide and filed only are depend on each other... For example u have done the enhancement to the data source with the Revenue field. And revenue is nothing but Price * Quantity. And price and quantity u have these fileds in data souce already but u dont want them in BW. U want them in the calculation.
    So we select Hide to not to come into BW and Field only to use them in the calculations.

  • Bug? Text field & Button are still visible when solid-filled rectangle is placed on top of them

    Adobe Live Cycle 7.1
    It cannot work when i tried to make the text field and button invisible without JavaScript:
    1. Create a text field with any default value and button.
    2. Create a filled color rectangle.
    3. Set the rectangle on top of all objects (right click it and select "bring to front")
    4. View in Pdf.
    5. Result:
    Text field's caption and border are invisible (covered by rectangle) ,but the text field's raw value and the button are visible.
    Is this a bug?

    It's difficult to tell. I can see what you're trying to accomplish but it's possible that Acrobat is giving priority to fillable fields over static objects (such as the rectangle) regardless of z-order (i.e. "bring to front", "send to back"...).
    You can make objects invisible without having to write any script by selecting the objects which should be invisible and setting the Presence property, on the Object palette's Field tab, to
    Invisible or
    Hidden - Exclude from Layout. The former means the objects won't be visible but they will still be a factor in the way in which objects are placed on the form while the latter means they're totally hidden from the form.

  • Field only check box

    Hi Friends,
    what is the use of field only check box iam littelebit confused, could you explain me clearly.
    Thanks and Regards
    Venkat.Marneni

    Hi,
    If you do enhancement for a datasource it will be used:
    The indicator Field known only in Exit is set for the fields in an append structure, meaning that by default, these fields are not passed to the extractor in the field list and the selection table.
    So by default it won't get data, so remove the tick mark and then do the mapping in BW.
    Thanks
