Suppress Fields Upon Printing

Is there a way of suppressing certain report fields upon printing? These fields need to be visible when the report is viewed, but I only want to print some of them to small label printer (need to suppress unnecessary information as to not waste labels).
Thanks in advance

YOu will need to use a parameter such as {?Print}
User can select Y or N from your default settings.
Then use that parameters to suppress fields as required
{?Print} = 'Y'
User will not ba able to print from the normal version, they will need to rerun report with this param set as Y

Suppress Fields on Printed Page

Post Author: RCRich
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Is it possible to suppress a field, so that it can be viewed on the screen at all times, but not appear on the printed page.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I've not tried this but conceptually it could work
Put the following in the Suppress for the field you want to hide :
WhilePrintingRecords = 0
I'm also not sure if 0 or 1 is true, you'll have to play with that one.

Multiple text fields in Print Module

Allow multiple text fields in Print Module with flexible editing.

I'm with you on this. LR 3 has come along way on the print module but placing text anywhere on the page at any angle using any system font would go long way in making a great looking album page. If you are in the senior market you could add the customers name to a wallet sized image.

Print just what is typed in the text field without printing the text fields

Hello,
I'm trying to print a form after I filled in the text fields, but would like it to print just what I typed in the field, not the text field and the color in the text field. I use CS3.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Teddy and wellcome to the group!
If you want to change fonts or other things then you might need to use the PrePrint method. What I normally do is select PrePrint from the "Show" section in the Script Editor (If you do not have it go to the toolbar at the top, Windows, and select Script Editor). After you select PrePrint you can now either type the name of the subform and field you want to change (or you can put your cursor in the Scripting Dialog box, hold CTRL and then select the field with your mouse) and then type in the JS to change the font. it is something like TextField1.fillcolor = "255, 255, 255"; (that changes the background fill to white). You can also replace fillcolor with font or border to change the color of the font or the border. I put a link to an Adobe website that goes over JS color changes below. You just need to add a PrePrint method for each field that you wish to remove the necessary highlighting on. Then once the user either hits a Print button that you have on the form or uses CTRL+P to print the form it will remove any highlighting.
Now On the Text Field not printing itself that I am not sure what you are asking for. Are you asking for the caption not to print or for there not to be a box around the data that is entered? If you do not want to have a box surround the text field that is in the Object section of the field (see image below). You just need to select None if you just want the text. If you want to change that with JS I put another link below that has the code to change the border color to white and the user cannot see it. If you do not want the caption to print the only method is to delete the caption from the text field and replace it with static text that can be hidden, but I am assuming that is not what you are talking about (correct me if I am wrong though).

Expandable field should print at top of next page not in middle.

I have a report that has three expandable columns in the middle of the report. Each has its own frame. There is repeating and non-repeating frame above these three expandable fields. I want these fields to print at the top of the next page when they expand not in the middle where they are initially on the first page.

I solved this myself by changing the vertical elasticity of the fixed frame above these fields to variable.

Drop Shadow is Causing a Colour Box to Appear Upon Print

I am in the midst of creating a brochure which I am wanting ot use some drop shadows on to create separation between colours.
I have noticed that in the three locations that i've used drop shadows (one is a white square shape, one is on font, and one is on a graphic with a transparent background) there is a light, almost transparent, box that is appearing upon print. This box does not show up in any way on the .pdf, but appears when printed.
Is this an issue with my printer, or am I somehow causing an error with my drop shadow settings?

Sounds like it might be this: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Eliminating YDB (Yucky Discolored Box) Syndrome
Are the background colors spot colors?

How to keep vertically arranged fields to print on the same page?

Hello,
my report contains fields that are vertically arranged. I want the report to print all the fields on the same page and not if the page is too small at the end that the half of the fields are printed on one page and the rest on the next page. But there should be more than one data sets on one page (it is no solution to generally make a page break before the fields - it only concerns the end of a page).
Is there a printing mechanism to anchor fields together?
Thanks in advance for your help.
kind regards
Monika Anna

1. Are these vertically arranged fields within the same group? If so, you can try right click on the Group section, Select Change Group, and then Go to Option Tab and select Change Group together.
2. Otherwise, if you want to fit certain amount of rows into one page, then you can write your own running total and Set New Page when that running total reach eg: 20 rows.

SUPPRESSED fields in the queue in message mapping

Hello Experts,
I have stucked in a graphical mapping because of suppressed fields in the queue. I would like to remove these fields without loosing the context.
I tried writting UDF but still they appear in the queue as <null>
my queue looks like
<null>
SUPPRESS
1
2
3
Context Change
SUPPRESS
1
Context Change
SUPPRESS
SUPPRESS
1
2
Context Change
( All above suppress appears in GRAY and not in GREEN )
and I need it as
<null>
1
2
3
context change
1
context change
1
2
context change
Your expert comments will be appreciated.

your input is like below:
<null>
SUPPRESS
1
2
3
Context Change
SUPPRESS
1
Context Change
SUPPRESS
SUPPRESS
1
2
Context Change
( All above suppress appears in GRAY and not in GREEN )
if you use mapWithDefault() node function before the UDF with this queue and use any Default value for e.g. "XYZ" then your SUPPRESS will be replaced
with value XYZ and your input to the UDF will become as below:
<null>
XYZ
1
2
3
Context Change
XYZ
1
Context Change
XYZ
XYZ
1
2
Context Change
Now you can write the UDF using this queue as input (cache= queue)
for(int i=0; i<input.length;i++){
          if(input[i].equals("XYZ")){}   // do nothing
          else if(input[i].equals(ResultList.CC)){         // add context change to the output queue
          result.addContextChange();
          else {                                                   // add the required value in the output queue
          result.addValue(input[i]);
after this you will get the output Queue as below:
<null>
1
2
3
context change
1
context change
1
2

Suppress fields & tabs on Customs Declaration

Hello,
How can you suppress fields or tabs in the GTS Customs Declaration so that they don't display to the end user if they aren't needed? I have read that this is possible, but cannot find where to do this.
Thanks for your help.

When transfering the DATA to GTS the Program fills the API for the transfer, you can go and change the information there. For this you can use the BADI's that are found in the feeder System under
SPRO / Sales & Distribution / Foreign Trade/Customs / SAP GTS Plugin / BADI for SAP Global Trade Services / Edit control for document transfer.
As mentionned above you may replace the GU number by your container Number (Field EXT_ID) or you can try by filling EXT_ID2 / or use any of the additionnal Fields of the Declaration, or in GTS you have the possibility to add supplementary fields in to the declaration (but I never tried it up to now) in the API which is called at "Perform api6800_csd_Synchronize" during the document transfer.
Regards,
Marc

Require Fields Before Printing

I've been looking through the documentation of Adobe Live Cycle Designer and cannot find my answer. I have two fields, which I would like to be required. Upon a user pressing the print button, if these fields are empty, require it before the form will print.
I have looked everywhere and can't find my answer. I'm assuming the form will still print if the fields are blank if the user were to use the File>Print option through their specified browser?
Any help would be appreciated.

i found a super cool secret code to validate the whole form in one line of code!
F.execValidate();
so my print button is a normal button (not a print button)
with this code for onclick:
if(F.execValidate())
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages - 1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
easy as that!
IMPORTANT:
- unfortunatly it does not check if required fields are empty
- it only checks the "validation pattern" under Object > Value
- the "Error" box beside "validation pattern message" MUST be checked (if it is not checked, your validation errors will still popup, but the function will return true when it should be false - and therefore the print box will popup)

How can I hide fields when printing?

On a form I have created for our field staff, we have many conditions of what options will show based on different selections on the form. When printing their responses, the entire form prints, even with items that have nothing to do with the selection as they were hidden from the person filling out the form. How do I hide/ suppress these blank fields?

Hi,
Thanks for asking. FormsCentral currently only support hide fields in html form, not pdf form. So printing from a pdf form would show all fields.

Perry

Expanding text fields for printing

I have created my first form and saved it as a pdf. in general it looks good but even though the text fields are expandable and grow I can't see all of the text once the form is printed. What can I do? Is there a setting somewhere I am not aware of?
Help!!

Hi;
In the PDF you download from the "Distribute" tab that users fill out the text areas don't "expand" but they scroll to accomodate the text. In PDF in general printing will not print the entire multi-line text fields, however, we made an enhancement in the "Response PDF" that you can downoad. If you go to the "View Responses" tab and "Download response as PDF" you will get a PDF of the form with the users responses, in this PDF the multi-line text boxes are all expanded to fit the text so that when you go to print this PDF it will print the entire response text.
Thanks,
Josh

Text fields in Print Module

I was really hoping to see the ability to add text fields in the Print module. In my work, I frequently need to add captions or titles to the prints. At the moment, I have to round trip to Photoshop to make this happen. I also make folios (see Brooks Jensen) where that require such captions. Thanks.

I could see that being useful too. As it may not make the final release, and we wouldn't want the request to get lost in beta land, might I suggest adding it as a suggestion on the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family where it can easily be tracked? If you post the link to your request here, others can also vote on your request. If you search there, you may even find similar requests that you might like to add your vote to.
