Show/hide objects/fields in PDF application (form) ...

Hello,
I'm creating a PDF application (form).
The layout is being done in InDesign then the fields/buttons/drop-down boxes are being added in Acrobat Pro.
I have a situation in the application where the user will select an option from a drop-down menu ... let's say the options are "car" and "airplane". (These are just examples.)
when the applicant selects "car" it should only show the following fields ...
Tires
Engine
Fuel Economy
When the applicant selects "airplane" it should only show the following fields ...
Wingspan
Max. Altitude
Seating Capacity
How do I do this? I only want the applicant to see/access the fields that are relevant to the selections they make earlier in the application.
From what I've found online, "Java Script" is what I need to work with ... but I have no idea how that works.
I have no ability to write code from scratch, but I have been successfull at modifiying existing code.
Some examples or some code that I can copy/paste and modify would be great.
Also, where do I go within Acrobat to access/modify the code?
Thanks in advance!

Show/Hide JSF field based on SelectOnceChoice using Model Driven List

Hello All,
I have a use case where I want to show or hide fields based on values populated in SelectOneChoice. I have View master and View Lookup, master has a field named product which displayed selectiononechoice of product name built using lookup view as accessor. I am storing id of lookup type inside product column. Based on a product name say "abc" I want to hide subsequent fields. Can anyone please tell me how to implement this?
I am using ADF 11g version 11.1.2.
Thanks,
Dipal

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to show/hide subsequent fields based on the value selected from a selectonechoice?
Did you try using partial triggers and EL for setting the rendered attribute on subsequent fields and setting autosubmit to true on selectonechoice?

APEX4: Is it possible to show/hide a field on form based on Radio selection

Hi,
On a form, I've a radio group (with two values) and two select list. Based on the selection in radio group, I want to show/hide the select list.
Like, when the user clicks Radio Group Value - RG_A, SL_A has to be visible, and when user clicks Radio Group Value - RG_G, SL_B has to be visible.
Is this possible in APEX 4? How can I do it?
Thanks for the help.
--Hozy

Hi,
Yes, you can do it using Dynamic Actions.
See this thread as well. APEX4: Populating fields from database based on the SelectList value
In Radio Group you will need to identify the button clicked from its ID and / or value. Thats because the Radio Group Item creates as many IDs / Items as there are options P1_ITEM_0, P1_ITEM1_1, etc.

As of now we are able to send the data to Adobe form from Web Dynpro.
But we are facing the following problem.
i) Unable to edit the form data for entering/changing the contents of the fields in PDF document, which is presented to user with a Web Dynpro application URL.
We have already unset the 'ReadOnly' property of the interactive UI element.
We are currently working on ZCI installation with SAP SP08, GUI patch level 20, Adobe Reader version 8.0
Please advise...

Hi,
Check your ADS settings, I feel it's due to lack of some config in ADS only.

Is there a way to show / hide email campaign newsletter opt-in form based on current opt-in status?

We have a secure zone with email campaign opt-in as both a part of the registration form and as a stand alone form for users logged into the secure zone.
We want to only show the opt-in form to users who are not already registered for the campaign, but cannot find a way to do this via modules / tags / liquid / API.
I have searched the forums and cannot believe this is not possible. If not possible, it should be put on the list of development requests.
Is this possible and if not, any suggestions?
The best workaround I can think of is to use a CRM field to track campaign opt-in status and then js/css or liquid to show / hide the form.
Thanks.

You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

Downloaded pdf application form will not allow save action. What is the problem?

I have downloaded a funding application form from Harcourts Foundation. They require me to fill it in save, and send it back to them. However when I try to save it states that you cannot save data typed into this form. If I try to "save as" it just states Adobe can only save a blank copy of this form.
This problem started when I downloaded the latest security update from Adobe today. I would appreciate some help. Thank you.

What is your operating system? Reader version?
Can you post a link to that form?

Viewing and printing PDF files
You must have a program on your computer which is capable of viewing and printing PDF files.
Although any viewer works, we recommend using the GhostScript under both Microsoft Windows and Unix systems and the GSView front end under Microsoft Windows. To install GSView you need the GSView and GhostScript for Windows 95/NT program from it's home page. If you have Windows 3.x you can still run this program using the Win32S emulator program available on it's home page. Since there are so many Unix flavors, there is no point in publishing the executable GhostScript in all possible binary formats, you can rather download the source code of the GhostScript program from it's home page and compile it yourself.
You can also use Adobe's Acrobat Reader to view PDF files. To install Acrobat Reader you can download it from it's home page.
In order to make your browser start the viewer automatically you have to set a new MIME type in your browser. If you use Netscape:
In the Options menu choose General Preferences.
Select the folder Helpers.
Click the Create New Type... (
dog breeds )button and fill out the dialogbox Configure New Mime Type:
file/MIME type : application
subtype : pdf
Click the OK button.
Fill out pdf for file extensions.
Click radiobutton Launch The Application at Action.
Find your GSView or Acrobat Reader executable file with the Browse button and click OK if found.
Leave General Preferences.
If you have Internet Explorer:
In the View menu choose Options.
Select the folder Programs.
Click the File Types button and then the Add button.
Fill out the dialogbox:
Description : PDF files
MIME type : application/pdf
Suffixes : pdf
Encoding : binary
Find your GSView or Acrobat Reader executable file with the Browse button and click OK if found.
Leave Options.
If everything is set up correctly, then (when you click on a link to a PDF file) your browser will dowload the PDF file and start your viewer automatically. From the viewer you can now view and print the file.

Showing/Hiding certain fields based on Radioset selection

Hello all,
I'm like to know whether it is possible to Show/Hide certain fields using a RadioSet selection as it is done in Forms in ADF UIX. Kindly go through this post.
Showing/Hiding certain fields based on Radio Group selection
kindly help me out on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Arun.V

Hi Arun,
Here is what I do with my checkboxes, but I think that the radiobutton will do the same:
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox text="selectBooleanCheckbox 1"
                      label="Label 1"
                      binding="#{backing_page1.selectBooleanCheckbox1}"
                      id="selectBooleanCheckbox1"
                      autoSubmit="true"
                      immediate="true"/>
<af:inputText label="Label 1" binding="#{backing_page1.inputText1}"
                      id="inputText1"
                      disabled="#{!backing_page1.selectBooleanCheckbox1.selected}"
                      partialTriggers="selectBooleanCheckbox1"
                      value="#{backing_page1.selectBooleanCheckbox1.selected}"/>

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

How to show/hide a form field?

Hi all,
Is it possible to programaticlly show/hide a from input field at runtime?
best

You can use javascript to achieve this and following is the code I'm using in one of the forms to hide a field when this form is being opened.
..after displaying page...
declare
v_id number(10);
begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_NUMBER(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_index => 1
If v_id is null then
htp.p('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function get_index(p_name) {
var i;
for (i=1; i<document.forms[0].length; i++){
if ( document.forms[0].elements.name == p_name) {
return i;
var j = get_index("FORM_NAME.DEFAULT.FIELD_NAME.01");
document.forms[0].elements[j].style.visibility="hidden";
</SCRIPT>');
End If;
