Script to verify fields on form are locked

Does anyone have any script examples or any links that we could tie in with a pdf submit button to verify all fields are locked before submitting them?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you have set up a collection for the signature field, then you can specify the fields that are to be locked when the field is signed. This is under the Object > Signature palette. This is the best route and should work robustly. I would be inclined to test the form/signature field using the collection first.
You can test to see if the access property of a field is not "open" and then take appropriate action:
if (Textfield.access !== "open") {
// field is locked proceed with submission
else {
// field is open, stop submission
This is a simple example. A function would need to be set up to run through the whole form.
However, I don't think it will give a good user's experience. For example, if the user fills in the form and signs it and there is an issue with the script. The submission may fail, but the user may not know how to solve it.
I would recommend setting up the collection of fields that you want locked and then test that. No script involved.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Help - all data fields in all my forms are locked in design view

Working in LiveCycle Designer ES2 v.9 - I have 10 forms that I've designed for my client. I opened them this morning to edit the design and all the data fields are locked. In the Hierarchy tab, the names are greyed out. I haven't done anything to the forms since saving last night. Some of the forms are really complex and and no way do I want to recreate them. I tried saving with a different name but that doesn't work either. NB. The forms work OK when opened in Acrobat (for filling). It's just the design edits in LiveCycle that I can't do, now.

Thanks. I figured out that I had inadvertently clicked on (enabled) Lock Fields. It took awhile as when that is turned on, the menu item doesn't show that you've turned it on e.g. no check mark or default to "Unlock Fields". If it changed to "Unlock Fields", I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to figure out what happened:o).
Something the LiveCycle team may want to change in that menu.

Killing all sessions at once who are locking the objects

Hello all,
i am working in 9i Oracle RDBMS on AIX IBM OS
most of the time we face locking issue and there comes more then different 50 sessions which locking different tables.
here is my script to find out what sessions are locking what tables.
set lines 200
set pages 50000
col SID for 99999
col SERIAL# for 999999
col username format a12
col sql format a55
col event format a50
col program format a40
col MINS for 9999
col ID1 for 999999
col object_name for a35
col locktype for a8;
select /*+ ORDERED */ s.sid,s.serial#,s.status,round(s.last_call_et/60) MINS,s.program,l.ID1,d.object_name,d.object_type,l.type as locktype
from v$lock l,v$session s, dba_objects d
where l.sid = s.sid
and l.ID1 = d.object_id
and s.username = 'MULDMS'
and last_call_et > 120 and l.type <> 'TX' order by s.status,MINS,l.ID1,l.type; and the out put it gives something like

Karthick's script will 'kill' the sessions but before you use that script you may want to read the docs about the KILL and DISCONNECT clauses.
See the DISCONNECT SESSION and KILL SESSION clauses in the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_2013.htm#sthref4724
>
DISCONNECT SESSION Clause
Use the DISCONNECT SESSION clause to disconnect the current session by destroying the dedicated server process (or virtual circuit if the connection was made by way of a Shared Sever).
The IMMEDIATE setting disconnects the session and recovers the entire session state immediately, without waiting for ongoing transactions to complete.
KILL SESSION Clause
The KILL SESSION clause lets you mark a session as terminated, roll back ongoing transactions, release all session locks, and partially recover session resources.
IMMEDIATE Specify IMMEDIATE to instruct Oracle Database to roll back ongoing transactions, release all session locks, recover the entire session state, and return control to you immediately.
>
For DISCONNECT the IMMEDIATE clause will recover the session state 'immediately'.
Using KILL, even with the IMMEDIATE clause, you are telliing Oracle to roll back any ongoing transactions and that can take a lot of time.
Make sure you are really doing the operation you want to do. If you want to get the locks released immediately you need to use 'DISCONNECT IMMEDIATE'.

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information. However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data in the field which we have this edit. Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting. any idea how we can get around this issue?

You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

Why does Livecycle Designer need to lock scripting on objects with children that are fragments??

Can someone tell me why Livecycle need to lock scripting on objects with children that are fragments??
I mean, just because I have a fragment (which you can't edit the script for), why does Livecycle need me to NOT edit say the initialise event on the Main form.
Yes, I can remove my fragments, edit and reinsert. Also if the event already has a script, I can edit the xml. But neither of these are terribly convenient.
Couldn't there be a better way?

The purpose of the fragment is to create re-usable or standard components. In most cases the fragment is not created by the same person designing the form and they do not want the from designer to modify any part of the fragment (it is a separate XDP file). There may be code in that fragment that relies on the structure that exists. If you have the rights you can always edit the fragment and when your PDF is created the changes will be picked up.
If you want to be able to modify the fragment while it is in Design mode sounds to me like you want to add a component to the object library. This will allow you to have a reusable piece of a form that you can modify on a form by form basis. To do this simply build the piece that you want. Lasso the entire form and drag it onto the Custom library. When you release it a dialog will pop up allowing you to name your component. Now on any form design you can drag your new component onto the canvas and all methods/properties and code will come with that component (allowing you to modify it for that form as you see fit).
Note that you can create your own libraries to hold your components if you see fit. Also if you put your libraries on a shared drive, you can share components between Designers.

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

In Acrobat, I wrote a script to turn fields gray if a checkbox was checked. How can I get it to reset to white (or clear) when the reset form button is clicked?

Thank you so much for your reply . . . but . . . I should have shared my original script with you -- it was a little more complicated than I led you to believer. I was triggering a group of text fields to become disabled as well as gray. Below is the original script so that when the checkbox is checked, it causes several "Co" fields to be disabled and gray.
// Mouse Up script for check box
// If checked, certain fields should be disabled
var f_prefix = "Co";
// Get a reference to all of the "Co" fields
var f = getField(f_prefix);
// Reset the Co fields
resetForm([f_prefix]);
if (event.target.value === "Off") {
    // Enable the Co fields
    f.readonly = false;
    f.fillColor = color.transparent;
} else {
    // Disable the Co fields
    f.readonly = true;
    f.fillColor = color.gray;
To recap -- my goal is to get those gray fields to revert to transparent if the form is reset. I'm willing to create my own custom "Reset Form" button but I'm not sure I understand how that would look. Wouldn't it be quite lengthy? I think I'm having a brain freeze -- can't figure it out!

We now use Acrobat xi for special active forms we created that include certifications and signature fields, some of the forms are programmed to create other forms, will we have a problem upgrading to DC
Our users use a form template to create other adobe forms with calculated fields, signature fields (using digital signatures)
, and buttons. Will we be able to continue developing these forms if we upgrade to Acrobat DC?

Hi Alex ,
In general ,you would not have any issues and problems moving to Acrobat DC .It has a different user interface and with more enhanced features .
You would be able to develop the kind of forms you are referring to .
You could refer to the following document to get more information about Acrobat DC .

Hi gurus scripts are clint dependent & smart forms are clint indipendent

hi gurus scripts are clint dependent & smart forms are clint indipendent what is the meaning that

SAPscript are client dependent.
They need to be copied from one client to another for testing. this can be done from SE71->utilities->copy from Client.
For transferring between server as like other objects they need to be transport.
As for smartforms they are client independent and all changes are available at the same time in all clients for execution.
Unlike smartforms, if you want to use or modify a sapscript in a different client you need to copy it from that client or client '000'.
This is applicable to it accessory components like graphics, texts..etc
NOTE:
When u execute a smartform it generates the Function Module, which allows u acces the smartform in any cleint
Hope it will make some sense

Invisible Text in fields after highlights are deactivated

Completed fields in the sent adobe form are invisible. I have deactivated the highlighted field as instructed but the completed fields stay invisible. If I were to type a character in the field, the information in that field will stay visible. As the forms have confidential information I cannot sent them for samplings. Any suggestions?

Unless you can verify what caused the problem, I would go with the most common cause of this issue which is Apple's Preview program.
There have been a couple of scripts that can repair the form have been posted and are a free download.
One could also export the data to an FDF file and them import that exported data into a good copy of the form.

Same script..works in one form but in another keep getting "Date is not a constructor" error.

Using this javascript in one of my forms to timestamp it, (just a simple protected text field.)
form1.MainPage.DateTimeStamp::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
if (form1.MainPage.DateTimeStamp.rawValue == null) {
        var now = new Date();
        form1.MainPage.DateTimeStamp.rawValue = nowtoDateString() + now.toTimeString();
This timestamps the form as it should. The problem is on another form I'm building I'm using the identical script, (with different absolute paths of course,) and I keep getting a javascript error about date not being a constructor. I've type the script in ten bajillion times and I'm at a loss for what is causing this.
All I want is a simpel javascrip where I can display the time/date from the users system in a text field.

Hi,
You are missing a . inbetween "now" and "toDateString()"
Also you can simplify the script as it is in the docReady of the textfield:
if (this.rawValue == null)
     var now = new Date();
     this.rawValue = now.toDateString() + " " + now.toTimeString();
Hope tht helps,

Please, help with text field on form

Hello,
I am creating a form. I have a text field where the person will type a number into text field and I need it to also enter in another text field. For example, the person enters 23 into text field 12, I also need the entry of text field 12 to show up in text field 63. Is this possible? I'm VERY new to this, so a step by step response would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!!!
Debby

This requires a script as you have to first verify that the denominator is not blank or zero, or you'll get an invalid operation.
Something like this should work as the custom calculation script of your field:
var s1 = this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
var s2 = this.getField("Text3").valueAsString;
if (s1!="" && s2!="" && Number(s2)!=0) event.value = Number(s1)/Number(s2);
else event.value = "";

How to get 'exit event' script to execute again when form file with saved data is re-opened?

I have created an Adobe Dynamic XML Form using LiveCycle Designer with many fields / subforms that are ‘visible’ or ‘hidden’ dependent upon the options selected from various Drop-Down Lists. The form has also been save-enabled. Users can successfully complete the form and save a copy with the data that has been input.
The problem I have is that when the saved file is re-opened the ‘hidden’ fields / subforms which were previously made visible by selection of the appropriate options from the Drop-down Lists are now NOT displayed. However if you make the same selections from each of the Drop-down Lists AGAIN the hidden fields / subforms are displayed and do contain the data that was entered.
The problem appears to be that the script which determines whether a field / subform is ‘hidden’ or ‘visible’ is an
<event activity="exit" name="event__exit">
which is followed by
if (this.rawValue == "0")- (i.e. the value of the Drop-down List)
sfCompanyDetails.presence = "visible";
sfRecruitmentAgency.presence = "hidden";
etc, etc
and, therefore, it is not executed again when the saved file is re-opened.
Can anyone please advise how to achieve this?

Need help with tool bar button to clear 10 fields on form

I have 167 forms with 138 fields, I need to blank out or clear just 10 of them or so, can I create a butotn or script that is outside each document so I can open each one, andc lick this button?
I don't want to add a button to all 167 pdf files. Or better yet script to open them all and blanks out the fields, evey form is the same so the field names are the same.

This would be easy to do as a batch process (aka Action). The following JavaScript will do it:
// Create an array with the list of fields to reset
var fa = ["text1", "text2", "text32", "text4", "text5", "text6", "text7", "text8", "text9", "text10"];
// Reset the fields
resetForm(fa);
This will set each of the named fields to its default value. If the default value might be different than blank, replace the last line with:
for (var i = 0; i < fa.length; i++) {
getField(fa[i]).value = "";
Replace "text1"..."text10" in the first line with the actual names of the fields you want to clear.

Validate or calculate one text field in form

I have a form (several pages long) which has the same text field name on each page. I have to have the same text field name as it is pulling the information from another source.
Example: Page 1 has text field FormValues.accountNames_1
Page 2 has the same text field.
I want to do two things really
Seperate the fields so they are not really linked. The script will fill in the fields from each page seperately from the javascript inside the program
I will try to show example as I know I will not explain well
Page 1
Sponsoring Members
FormValues.accountNames_1
FormValues.accountNames_2
FormValues.accountNames_3
All sponsoring members listed on page 1 will automatically be signing authorities.They will prefill in from the web program. Staff are to delete those prefilled names IF one of the signors is not to be a sponsoring member. Lets say the person that fills into FormValues.accountNames_3 is deleted by staff from page 1
On page 2 we set up account authorization
So again there is a list of signors
FormValues.accountNames_1
FormValues.accountNames_2
FormValues.accountNames_3
For each of these I need to tick if they are an Authorized Signatory or Authorized User
At present, if I delete out accountNames_3 on page 1 it also deletes out accountNames_3 on page 2. I do not want that. I want them to be mutually exclusive.
I then want to state that IF accountNames_3 IS NOT listed on page 1, then tick the box Authorized Signor
Is there anyway to do that in Adobe PDF (not LiveCycle)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You can't "separate" fields that have the same name. They will automatically have the same value, always.

Script to verify fields on form are locked
