TextInputCallback changing form field

I have developed a custom security provider which works!
I can get logged in AND using the TextInputCallback handler I can set form fields
to access
when coming in from the login page.
However I can't seem to change or retrieve those values
on the next jsp using the setText function. Do you have to force the event listener
to fire on the TextInputCallback somehow or how do you access those properties
being set?

The easiest way to do that is to have two separate text fields, and then
show/hide them based on the selection in the check-box.

  • Acrobat 9.0 Changing Form Field Properties

    When working with Form Fields in Acrobbat 9.0, how can I quickly and easily change a Text Field to a Check Box field without having to delete and then add in the new field?  I thought right-clicking would do the trick, but it doesn't give me the option to change from a Text field to a Check Box field or vice versa.

    Cannot be done. Its like asking how to change a chicken into a duck, they are both fowl but...

  • Actionscript & changing form field values

    I am building a form using flash forms. I have a particular
    field that by default the value is 0.00. I want to make an onchange
    actionscript that will dynamically change the form field value to
    0.00 if the end user deletes the value out of the field and leaves
    it blank.
    Please be gentle...I know my actionscript'ing is poor (and
    probably looks a wee bit more like JS than AS) LOL
    <cfsavecontent variable="zero_myfield>
    if (myfield.text == '') {
    myform.myfield.text == "0.00";
    </cfsavecontent>
    <cfinput type="text" name="myfield"
    onchange="zero_myfield">
    I know you can manipulate the value of a form field easily
    with javascript, but how to do the same thing with actionscript?
    Any pointers would be appreciated!
    Thanks!!

    ROFL, I figured as much...like I said, my AS is *very*
    rudimentary right now heheh
    I picked up an AS book yesterday evening to hopefully help me
    out some, I know not all AS is available to use in ColdFusion flash
    forms, but it will give me a good reference I hope.
    I'll try my hand at the listener and see what I can come up
    with. Thanks for the pointer!! :)

  • Changing form field attributes to multiple fields simultaneously

    We have to edit a grid of, say, 10 rows by 10 columns. Every column must be of the same type (date, amount, phone number, etc.) and yet I have to change 100 attributes, one at a time. Multiply that times lots of forms.
    Currently, only the justification and a few attributes can be multiply edited.

    From what I can see, InfoPath doesn't seem to fit what I need.  Is there a way to edit the default edit form or the DataFormWebPart to change a 'Single Line of Text' Field to be a 'Multiple Lines of Text' field? 
    I appreciate the help,

  • Can I port content from one pdf form to another, from within the form fields?

    WE have been given a seasonal update to our pdf forms - with one new additional form field. Is there a way that I can port all the content from my ready filled form into this new one, without having to copy and paste each individual field?
    Thanks.

    What is it that you want to do
    - you are the form filler; you want to keep the contents of a filled in form (and put them back into a changed form)?
    - you are the person responsible for adding/changing form fields; you want to keep the design and location of the form fields while changing the underlying PDF?
    - both of these?

  • Changing text size in form field (rich text formatting enabled)

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I've created an interactive PDF with form fields with "Rich Text Formatting" enabled.
    My client has filled in the fields and would like to make the text bigger. When right-click, there are only options to change the text style (bold, italics etc) but nothing to change the text size. I'm not keen on disabling and then re-enabling the "Rich Text Formatting" options as the text have been formatted (bold, italics, superscript, subscript etc) and approved, and this will remove all the existing formatting.
    Can anyone help?

    Thanks so much!! Really appreciated!
    Strangely enough, I found the Form Field Text Properties dialogue box by randomly choosing "Hyperlink" in the right-click options. Who would have thought!

  • How to change the fields in a JSF form based on a URL parameter

    I am trying to build a generic JSF form of parameters which I want to dynamically change (i.e.
    change which field is visible, what the label text should be, etc) based on a URL parameter.
    I can set the fields using logic in the backing bean as an action on a command button pressed.
    But how do I do it based on the URL parameter ? I can retrieve the URL parameter but I
    don't know where to put (or hook) the Java code to do this initialization prior to
    the page being rendered for the first time.
    The fields in the JSF is being configured dynamically using a database table.
    BTW I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.5
    Thanks
    CK

    Thanks. I decided to set a Session bean to store the value of the URL parameter (if it is set)
    and then to use the session bean to initialize the attributes of the fields on the JSF Page.
    There also seems to be some caching of the inputText fields (i.e. it reverts back to the first
    initialized value) even though I tried to change it using the URL parameter in the requestScope
    backing bean. So, setting the values into the Session bean and retrieving it back from there
    seems to be more reliable.

  • Can a change be made to the original Word document without losing form fields in a saved PDF form?

    I have a new fillable form created with Acrobat 9 that has 10 pages of fields on it. I noticed a typo in the original Word doc I created the form from and wondered if there is anyway to make changes in the source document without having to recreate all fields again.
    Thanks!
    Frank

    Yes, just create a new PDF and replace the pages of the old one that has the form fields with the pages from the new: Document > Replace Pages
    Any fields, code, bookmarks, links, etc. will be retained.

  • How to change font in multiple form fields?

    I am creating a form - there are about 2 dozen form fields that are set up.
    I had Acrobat detect form fields.

    I have tried selecting all the fields [cmd A] and double clicking to get to the appearance tab.
    The only changes the font in the 1 field I double click.
    thanks everyone!

    Select all the form fields , select first the hold shift key and select the rest Then right click or control click and choose properties. then look for "Fonts" choose desired font. If this works your all set otherwise you will have to choose each indivually and change.

  • Filling of form fields changing depending on how PDF is opened, why?

    First of all, here is the error message that I am trying to deal with:
    "This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
    Software & PDF details:
    Adobe Reader 8. V8.1.1
    PDF Producer:     Toolkit http://activepdf.com
    PDF Version:       1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
    The PDF is set to with:
    Filling of form fields: Allowed
    After investigation I have found that:
    If I open the file by double clicking, I am able to fill in the fields and save without any problems.
    If the file is opened as a result of a software process trigger (which is what I actually want to achieve), the "Filling of form fields" is changed to "Not Allowed". This then results in the error message described above.
    Also, I have another PDF with exactly the same settings as above (PDF version and Producer etc), which successfully generates as a result of the software process trigger. This file that works does not change the "Filling of Form Fields" value.
    So, my question is, why would a particular PDF change the "filling of form fields" value depending on how it is opened?

    Ok, that is a useful result, telling us a lot.
    Some background you need. Reader 8 CANNOT SAVE FILLED IN FILES normally. To be able to save them they must be specially prepared. This is called "Reader enabling". (In your original message, "rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader") To prepare a file Acrobat can be used, or a server product which has had many names but is currently LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If this is not done, the form cannot be saved, whatever its origin.
    Now, a file may not be changed/damaged in even the slightest way after this preparation. This will produce the message seen.
    So, your test seems to show
    - the original file is OK, undamaged
    - by the time the file is delivered from the database to the user it has been damaged/changed.
    So, you now have a path to pursue through the software.
    (To clarify: this only applies if you used Windows Explorer to save the file, NOT any save function in Reader; if you saved in Reader please repeat the test with Windows Explorer).

  • How to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?

    Hi guys,
    I created an Field Symbol, in a Interface which I use for Adobe Forms. The type of the Field Symbol is STANDARD TABLE, and this field symbol I fill with data from another program.
    But the problem is that in adobe forms, this Field Symbol is taken as TEXT FIELD and not as Table... and this shows me a Dump because it can't convert Internal Table to type C (the dump is like that).
    What I need, is how to change the Field Symbol, so Adobe Forms takes it as a Table?
    I looked at Adobe Form, and found this:
    The Type Category of the Field Symbol is DICTIONARY TYPE and I think I need to change it to Internal Table as shown in the right picture.
    Does someone have any idea?

    Hello Taly,
    To what i understand your requirement, you need to pass data from Field symbol to internal table in Adobe form.
    You have done it correct partially. I have replicated your scenario and steps are below -
    1) Create a Z structure
    2) Create Z Table Type
    3) Create Adobe Interface with Table & Field Symbol. Also do coding as shown to assign the internal table populated in driver program to filed symbol.
    4) Design Form as -
    5) Code driver as -

  • Change hidden form field value

    hi everyone...i'm hoping someone can help me figure out how
    to change the value of a hidden field in a form. i have a page
    setup where users pay a website fee. since the fee is always the
    same, i have the amount setup in a hidden field in my form. my
    question is, i'd like to use promo codes. so i'll add a box in my
    form that says "enter promo code." then there's a link in the form
    that says "apply promo code." i'm thinking that link needs to
    refresh my page and take the value entered by the user in the promo
    code form field and place it in the url. that way i can write a
    cfif statement to change the value of the hidden field. the problem
    is, i can't figure out how to "refresh" the page and take the value
    out of the form field and place it in the url. hope this makes
    sense. maybe someone can offer a better way to do this? i'd truly
    appreciate any help anyone can offer. thanks!

    You would change the amount on the processing page with
    ColdFusion (after the form is submitted), but prior to the CFHTTP
    call. You really should familiarize yourself with CFHTTP (check
    online documentation). It sounds like it is exactly what you need.
    The format of your application would be something like:
    promocode.cfm:
    ====================
    <form name="someform" method="post"
    action="process.cfm">
    <input type="text" name="name">
    <input type="text" name="address">
    <input type="text" name="promocode">
    <input type="hidden" name="order_price"
    value="#OrderValue#>
    </form>
    process.cfm
    ======================
    <!--- Apply promo code --->
    <cfif form.promocode eq "Promo1">
    <cfset form.order_price = .75 * form.order_price>
    </cfif>
    <cfset sales_tax = .1 * form.order_price>
    <!--- Send data to processor gateway --->
    <cfhttp url="https://www.myProcessor.com/gateway/"
    method="POST">
    <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="price"
    value="#form.order_price#">
    <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="tax"
    value="#sales_tax #">
    <cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="cc_number"
    value="#cc_num #">
    </cfhttp>
    <!--- Check response --->
    <cfif FindNoCase("Success Text", CFHTTP.fileContent)>
    Good Response
    <cfelse>
    Bad Response
    </cfif>

  • Font changes in PDF form fields created in InDesign

    I wasn't sure where to post this -- InDesign or Acrobat forum -- I created a lot of form fields in InDesign and when I exported to PDF, some of the form fields ended up using Times and some using Helvetica. When creating the fields in InDesign, I copied and pasted most of them to duplicate them and then changed their names, so it seems like they should all be using the same font.
    I know how to later change the form field font in Acrobat, but it's not efficient to have to do that.
    If anyone knows how to specify which font is used in an InDesign form field and make it stick in the resulting PDF, I hope you'll help me out.

    Check if there is everything OK with the &lt;ORACLE_HOME&gt;\tools\Common90\uifont.ali file.
    You can alias specific styles of font there. For example
    Courier.12... = Courier.14....
    changes courier 12 to 14 in the report output.

  • Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?

    Formscentral - how do I change required date format to long date (e.g. January 2, 2014) in a form field?  I can't seem to change it from the short date format.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to change the form language to English (UK), Here are the steps:-
    1. Open your form in FormsCentral
    2. Clik on Options tab
    3. Click on Language and Formatting and check out the selection for Form Language and make sure English (U.K.) is selected and the default date format should be day/month/year.
