Signing: Empty list in "Field Selection" when picking fields to mark as read-only on signing

I have a PDF form with some signature fields. I am attempting to mark some of the fields in the document as read-only when the document is signed. This is what I did:
1. Modify the "Signed" properties of the signature field.
2. Choose "Mark as read-only" and "Just these fields" in the drop down list beside this option.
3. Click on the "Pick" button to select the fields to be marked read-only when the user signs this field.
In the "Field Selection" dialog that comes up, nothing is shown in the list.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I need to do to add fields to this list, or should it be populated automatically allowing me to choose what I want?
I noticed this feature is only available for Acrobat 6.0 and later. The compatibility level for the document I created is 1.6 (Acrobat 7 and later). It is created in Acrobat X.
Just figuring my way around these things. Did a google search for any solutions, but couldn't find anything on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,
It certainly sounds like you are on the right track.What version of Acrobat are you using, is it Pro or Standard, Mac or Win? I see where you mentioned the file was created in Acrobat X, but I'm not sure that the app that create the PDF file is the same version as the one you are using for editing.

Make field editable when checkbox is checked, otherwise given read-only value

I'm attempting to make a fillable PDF form, from and existing document, using Acrobat Pro that does the following:
Purpose of form is to provide customer a way to agree to purchase a custom artwork.
The artwork has a base price, ArtworkPrice. (The ArtworkPrice field is editable)
The customer can choose to include a picture frame. (AddFrame checkbox 'Yes'.)
Choosing 'Yes' to add a frame adds an amount. (The FramePrice field is editable only if AddFrame checkbox is checked)
Otherwise, Leaving AddFrame unchecked fills the FramePrice field with a value of 0.00.
The TotalPrice is calculated as the sum of the ArtworkPrice and the FramePrice fields. (The TotalPrice field is read-only)
So...this part of the form looks essentially of like this:
AddFrame? [ ] Yes
ArtworkPrice $__________ + FramePrice $__________ = TotalPrice $__________
The FramePrice field must be 0.00 (and not editable) at all times unless the AddFrame checkbox is selected.
How can I do this?

Add this code to the MouseUp event of AddFrame:
if (this.getField("AddFrame").value=="Off") {
this.getField("FramePrice").value = 0;
this.getField("FramePrice").readonly = true;
} else {
this.getField("FramePrice").value = "";
this.getField("FramePrice").readonly = false;

Any difference in signature lock function, read-only field property, & signed tab "Mark as read-only

Is there any real difference between
1) simply setting a field to read-only in a custom script on the Signed tab of a signature field by:
this.getField("field name").readonly = true;
2) including the field in the "Mark as read-only: " list of fields on the Signed tab of a signature field
and, 3) including the field in a call to the setLock() method of a signature field?
As far as I can tell there isn't, but am I missing something? And if they are all the same, then since setLock() must execute in a priviledged context, it seems the harder way to get a read-only field.

Make all text fields read only after signing form

Hello,
I have a live cycle form which needs to have all of the text fields set as read only after signing.
The java script has been placed in the post sign event of a digital signature field.
for(var i=0;i<this.numFields;i++) {
var cNm = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (cNm.type = "text") this.getField(cNm).readonly = true;
After signing the form the following console error is shown:
this.getNthFieldName is not a function
Can anyone please advise how to revise the script so that when the form is signed all of the text fields become ready only?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't need any JavaScript to do this.
In Designer you can setup the signature field in that way, that all fields will be locked after signing.

Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only.

Trying to follow Serge Luca's Step by Step Tutorial. Creating Workflows for Windows Sharepoint Services and MOSS2007. http://sergeluca.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E8A06D5F2F585013!859.entry
I have an onWorkflowActivated, followed by an ifElse condition and a log to history.
In the IfElse, each branch has a code segment, that trys to update the status column in the list that the workflow is attached to.
private void Authorize_ExecuteCode(object sender, EventArgs e)
// tried serveral methods
WorkflowProperties.Item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
// tried all of the following (one at a time)
item.update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.Update();
WorkflowProperties.Item.SystemUpdate();
//tried this as well.
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem item = WorkflowProperties.Item;
item["Status"] = "Automatically Approved";
item.Update() ;
On the update call I keep getting "Invalid data has been used to update the list item. The field you are trying to update may be read only."
Could someone explain how to update "Status" column of the list item that the workflow is working on?
Thank you very much.
Bill

Hi:
you can do the following:
add the following code to the workflow.xml file (under the MetaData section)
Code Snippet
<ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch1</StatusColumnValue>
<StatusColumnValue>Branch2</StatusColumnValue>
</ExtendedStatusColumnValues>
then add 2 SetState activities one in each branch of the IfElse.
for the code behind of setState1 (branch1) write the following code:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max);
for setState2 (branch2) write the following:
Code Snippet
state = Convert.ToInt32(SPWorkflowStatus.Max) + 1;
where state is the variable assigned to the field State in the properties of the SetState(design lever), or instead of state u can use the following code:
Code Snippet
((SetState)sender).State
where sender is the object sent through the function parameter.
hope this answered your question

Hi.
I am getting below error while adding value to look-up field.

Try some thing like below,
your data value that needs to be update should be in this format "ID of the lookup";#"Title of the Lookup"
For example,
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "1;#iPhone";
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "2;#Mobile";
Hope this helped you....

Read-Only after signed.

Hello,
I am trying to make some forms that can be filled out, digitally signed and made read-only when the content is sent back to us. I have been through most of these forums and looked at a lot of samples and can't find how to do something in Live Cycle Designer that was easily done in Acrobat Pro. I have the forms done, but one problem. I want to make the local form read only once digitally signed, and/or the data submitted via e-mail.
In Acrobat, you simply go to the Digital Signatures - Properties - Signed Tab and select the box for Mark as read-only.
In live Cycle Designer though, it has me delving into java scripts (which I know a little bit about but not a programmer) and such but none of that is clear on the subject. So, I was looking to these forums to see if someone could help this old jar head out.
Thanks

Good Morning,
Derek S Jones, which Adobe Designer Version are you talking about?
I'm trying Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, and I can't find any "Document Signature tab" on the Signature's field Object palette!
Have I to configurate any toolbar?
Thanks a lot.

How do I resolve: Field Selection dialog [Pick... button] in "Mark as read-only" section of Signed tab for Digital Signature field is not working

I am using Acrobat Pro X on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 to create a form. When I have a simple form with a few fields, I am able to use the "Pick..." button to select the fields I want to select, but in a more complex form (20 fields with 3 Signature fields) The Field Selection dialog does not work. I can make the selections, but they are not saved. Removing fields does not resolve issue. IF I start with a blank form and add a few fields, the dialog will work, but after adding more, it quits working. Reader XI is also installed.

And that is why many responders use only the custom JavaScript calculation option.
The UI for the select fields and simplified field nations are only a way to pass field names to a JavaScript function that performs the actual calculation. Sometimes these functions call other functions and pass the parameters can lead to errors in the attempted code.
I would start to learn code JavaScript for Acrobat.
The pick field dialog is for performing calculations involving sums, products, averages, minimum, and maximum. I am not sure how that would work with a digital signature. Once a signature is applied the form fields could be locked.

Display value in custom field selection of standard field

Hi,
I want to display the country value based on the Account selection, that is the country associated with the selected Account.
I created Contact extension BO and added country field with data type CountryCode. Account is a standard field.
I am able to fetch country value but assigning the value to Country field can be done in only BeforeSave.absl
I have also provided validation for this country field.
Issue here is:
First Validation-OnSave.absl gets called and then BeforeSave.absl.
I want the country value to be displayed once the user selects Account.
Regards,
Vijaya Chavan

Hi Vinod,
I got the issue.
AfterModify.absl gets called when the Contact Quick Create screen gets loaded and not after selecting the Account field value.
So I tried geting the value directly from the following path without firing a query in BeforeSave.absl.
this.CurrentDefaultIsContactPersonFor.BusinessPartnerRelationship.FirstBusinessPartner.AddressInformation.GetFirst().AddressSnapshot.PostalAddress.GetFirst().CountryCode;
But BeforeSave.absl gets called when I click on "Save". I wanted the value to be displayed soon after the Account Value is selected.

How to update other field values when one field value is updating

I am creating one ADF page.
In one form suppose there are two fields ->
Bank A/C [a combo box or "select one choice"]
Balance [one Input Field]
Now, when I am selecting one value in "select one choice" it will automatically make a query in database and fetch and show the balance in the "Balance" input field.
How can I do that?
Please note that I have done my development by creating entity object>view object.
I have not used any EJB.

Hi,
is it ADF Business Components that your use then or POJOs? In either way, you set the select component's autosubmit property to true.
If using ADF BC you can then create a method entry in the set<attributeName> VORowImpl file of the ViewObject that - whenever a new value is set - looksup the dependent value and sets it - call its set<attribute> method within this method.
Define an ID property on the selectOneChoice component and set the same value to the PartialTrigger property of the textfield that you want to update

Add a custom table for field selection while creating field catalog for LIS

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a Custom table to be available for field selection while creating a field catalog for LIS. Its required as there are many custom fields to be used for field catalog creation and adding them in one of the existing tables listed is not a feasible option for us. Please let me knw if its possible..?? If yes how to get it done..??
Regards,
Akash Sinha

hi,
You need to add your field in the Data Dictionary first. For example, if
you want the new field in the Order Item field catalog do the following.
Look at structure MCVBAPUSR (SE11). If you already have a user structure
appended to this structure then you can add your new field to your existing
structure. If there is no structure already appended to MCVBAPUSR then you
must create a new structure with your field in it and then append the new
structure to this one.
If you look at structure MCVBAP you will see the data appended to the end
of it.
Now you should see it in the field catalog.

Why doesn't OS X keep me signed in on outlook and Facebook when I have the box checked to keep me signed in What a pain this is

Why doesn't OSSX keep signed in on outlook express and Facebook when I have checked the box to keep me signed in I have to sign in almost overtime What a pain Also on other sites it asked be to answer my security question

Long shot.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Is there a script for making a digital signature read-only after signing?

When the user signs a PDF Form, the user can clear his own signature. I want to disable the "Clear Signature" feature. I noticed I can run a Javascript in the digital signature's property. Is it possible to execute a Javascript to make just that signature Read-only?
Thanks.

If the person who signed the document has Acrobat Pro, you could use the flattenPages() method, which lets you specify the page(s) to be flattened.
For example:
this.flattenPages(0) //flattens page 1
this.flattenPages(0, 2) //flattens pages 1 - 3
But if they have only Reader, they can't use flattenPages().
