Trouble with form fields

Upgraded to Mountain Lion but now filling out forms (i.e. signing into Yahoo Mail, Facebook, Wikipedia home page) is a complete nightmare. Is there any way to solve this issue? I was fine before I upgraded. It took me several minutes just to sign into my Apple account to post this question. I get the pinwheel and the page even freezes. Need help. Thanks.

You may have just pasted your code in a funny way but I noticed your 'if' statement is underneath the rest of your message. Assuming it is in the correct place and you change "Total[1] - 136.15" to "Total[1] = 136.15" it should work. Also just to let you know that in formcalc you can use the "$" to reference the field you are in (so you could use $ instead of Total[1] in your formula).

    1. Use the mouse to select the field and then press the space bar.
    2. A null string is the same as zero. What is the result for division by zero?

  • Link/RE-link to word docs with form fields?

    Trying something new, and when I took the InDesign 2 day class the instructor was not very familiar with linking to word docs, she just never used the feature.
    So, I have multiple contributors who will onlly work in word. I am trying to set up a template/form for them to fill in that I can link to my .indt.
    I have the styles set up and matching, and I'm looking for a way that I can lock everything but the areas where they need to fill in information. My plan is to do this by making a form in Word with text fields. Will this transfer over to the InDesign file when I relink? If not what is an alternative solution using Word with out having to copy and past all the time ?

    Ohhh k.
    OK Yes this is possible.
    I do mean for it to link, the content is dynamic I need the technical people to be able to edit content before I get it. The point is to have multiple contributors working in word (absolutely must be word), creating new content that can be fed into indesign relatively automatically while preserving the InDesigns styles applied to certain text frames.
    It does need to link back to get content updates so I have this option turned on in the general preferences to allow this.
    The word documet is set up, as follows:
    Form fields are created, along with their respective titles or headings. A style/structure element is applied. The style doesn't have to match what is in indesign but it is helpful.
    Click the text box and got to "Place"
    Select the document and select the "Show Import Options"
    Under import options select "Preserve Styles and formatting..." Then Select the "Customize Style Import" radial and click style mapping. I tried doesn't this with the Automatic Import and it didn't work properly, custom mapping will identify the right information to style while overiding the actual style information from Word and instead uses the InDesign Style.
    So... not necessarily a job for InCopy, though I realize that would be better, working in for a Microsoft Partner Network Gold Certified Partner, it would be impossible to get everyone to switch over to InCopy.

  • Combining various PDF files with forms fields: How To?

    Hi people.
    I have a problem with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and some PDFs.
    Each file has a lot of form fields and they has the same name. When I try to combine allowed files in acrobat, the "combinator" throw a message adverting me that the fields are the same and will have the same content. The only posibility is to create a "PDF Folder". But I need to distribute a simple PDF file compatible with Acrobat Reader (and the most usual issue is ... Acrobat Reader 6). So...
    Is there any possibility to create a single file from a PDF folder?
    Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much for your quickly answer but... if this is the only way... then I have a very very very serious problem.
    I have 45 PDF individual files (with two pages each one) and I need to generate a single file with my 45 files (90 pages). Each file has more than 30 fields...
    What should I do?
    Thanks!

  • Trouble with form on a view

    Hi,
    I have trouble with the ROWID (ORA-01445) error when running the standard doQuery function on a button in a Form.
    Is it possible to use doQuery or do I have to write my own PL/SQL code, if so where can I find information on this (like the code for doQuery would be nice).
    thanks

  • Optimize a PDF doc with form fields

    Hi All,
    I have completed a PDF with multiple form fields (about 70). It's only one 8.5 x 11 page. It is 2.2 mB large. I've tried different ways of Optimizer but it always removes the input field functionality.
    How can I decrease file size while maintaining the integrity of the form? Thank you so much in advance. PDF attached.
    Dina

    Generally, the only thing that I remove after creating a pdf file with forms that doesn't effect the fields is to remove embedded fonts. It would be best to to all of the other optimizations before creating the form fields.
    That's nice you say, but I've got the form fields already. Try reducing the size (as you have already done), then replace the page in the file with the form fields with the one whose size you have reduced. The form fields should stay. I don't know what happens to the size of the new file, let us know?

  • Combining Datagrid Dataprovider with form fields

    I am sorry I have know where else to go. I have a datagrid
    that gets filled in with an ArrayCollection. One column is a check
    box called "Include" So I would check a few records (rows) and then
    I have some formfields. I want the form fields to get appended to
    each datagrid record. I have this:
    private function update():void {
    var myobj:Object = new Object();
    myobj.dba = dba.selectedLabel;
    myobj.itemid = itemid.text;
    myobj.item = item.selectedLabel;
    myobj.programtype = programtype.selectedLabel;
    myobj.status = status.selectedLabel;
    myobj.priority = priority.selectedLabel;
    myobj.descrip = descrip.text;
    myobj.followup = followup.selected;
    myobj.trackcomp = trackcomp.selected;
    myobj.preslocal = preslocal.selected;
    myobj.tracksales = tracksales.selected;
    myobj.startdate = startdate.selectedDate;
    myobj.enddate = enddate.selectedDate;
    myobj.followdates = followdates.selectedDate;
    cfdataInsert.addData({user:myobj})
    //This is the part I am confused about!!
    for (var i:int = 0; i < myAccounts.length; i++ ) {
    var aAccounts:Account = myAccounts
    cfdataInsert.update( aAccounts ) ;
    }//end for loop
    The "myObj" parts works. I dont know how to update the
    arrayCollection (myAccounts) so that when Include is true add the
    form fields to this and then INSERT into a DB.
    I need to see a simple sample without other stuff clouding
    what im trying to do. I am using a RemoteObject for the call to
    fill the Datagrid. and another remote Object to send the results.
    Can anyone help me with the syntax?
    Thanks
    George

    Thanks for the reply, It did what you said but the foirm
    field are not the same as the datgrid columns. I really want to
    have my arraycollection that fills in the datagrid just add the
    checked records to another arraycollection and then update a DB so
    that each row from the datagrid has the firm field info with it.

  • Troubles with forms

    It's been months in since moving to Acrobat X and I still can't get it. It's so infuriating with all the menu items moved to the sidebar. Over all I find things take longer now. Good thing I kept version 8 on hand.
    But anyway, these are my current headaches:
    - how do you GET OUT of form editing mode? In Acrobat 8 you just click the hand tool. In X I click the Preview button to test out the form, but all other non-form functions are disabled. I have to close the file and then reopen it.
    - if I select several fields at once and then nudge their position using the arrow keys, it messes up the tab order forcing me to re-do the order. This doesn't happen if I nudge one form at a time but I don't want to nudge 20 fields on their own.
    - Click to Set Tab Order has apparantly been removed. I can't find it at least. While the ability to reorder via the list is handy, in many situations the click to reorder is much faster.
    And to top it all off, editing forms is slow. There is a lag of a second or 2 after each thing I do. I will be going back to Actobat 8 when dealing with forms.

    I do see the same delay, which is why I never edit forms on a Mac. The screen does multiple redraws whenever I open into edit mode, and when an item is added/removed/resized/relocated. It is impossible to get anything done in the Mac version imho, this does not seem to be an issue on PC (at least, not to me).
    I also keep older versions around - I almost never use Acrobat X. The interface is horrible (I liken it to Microsoft's switch to the 'Ribbon' in Office) I will agree that it takes a lot longer to do anything (I had to make changes that required me to constantly switch back and forth between different tabs on the sidebar instead of being able to select a single menu item). About the only thing in Acrobat which hasn't been a huge step backwards over the various versions is the Javascript editor (and that's only because they couldn't have made it any worse to begin with!)
    I will say this, though - with all of the issues in Acrobat/PDF forms, at least it isn't Microsoft Word. I am forced to work on several forms in Word, and I can tell you that experience is excruciating.

  • When printing a document with form fields certain letters don't print

    Hi everyone.
    I am from Iceland and we use special letters in our language (i.e.: þ,æ,ö,ð). I have made a pdf file that has form fields in it, but when they have been filled out with our special letters, those letters do not print out correctly.
    Here is an example with my name filled out in the form field:
    When I print, this is the result:
    Can anyone help me with this issue?

    Just some thoughts: 1. Be sure the fonts are embedded in the file. 2. Print as a graphic (you may have a printer that does not have the fonts and is not getting the proper results from the computer).

  • I/O error opening a pdf file with form fields, using itextsharp

    Hi,
    I'm using itextsharp PDFStamper to set the form fields in a pdf file. It works on my computer properly, but on the QA site and other developer's machine it only shows the values of the form fields, the original text does not show, and it gives the error message "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly". Please does any one know what's causing this error and how to fix it?.
    Thanks,
    Uyi

    I recommend you try tech support for the iTextSharp product (I believe
    there is a mailing list). This forum is for questions about
    understanding the PDF Specifications. You could try an Acrobat forum,
    but I think the first option has a better chance of success.

  • I cannot place an electronic signature in a document with form fields?!

    I have Acrobat Pro installed on a windows 7 and windows 8.1 machine. On both I have lost the ability to place an electronic signature (Draw my signature) and only have the option for a digital signature. The problem is remedied if I print to pdf but then I lose the form fields.
    I'm an idiot and so are the people that I need to send this to. I just want to easily fill the necessary fields out, draw my signature and forward it to the next guy to do the same so that it can be printed and turned in. Digital signatures are severe overkill for this (and i'm not going to be able to teach everyone how to create one) and I need to know how to re-enable the ability to electronically sign and keep the form fields.

    re: "Digital signatures are severe overkill for this"
    Yep, I discovered that as well.
    I rolled my own "signature" for a client...I just added a 3 character "initials" field and a "Certify" button.
    The initials act as the signature and once they hit the certify button, all form fields are set to read-only....via custom javascript.
    The only problem is that I am unable to SAVE the document via javascript because of Acrobat trusted functions....
    which I don't have.
    So I just prompt the user to Save the document at that time.
    It's a little ugly, but it works..

  • Trouble printing "Form fields only"

    I've added text to a document, and have selected "Form fields only" for printing but the form fields do not appear. The fields do appear when I print the entire document. I am using XI Standard, and I've printed form fields before. Any suggestions?

    I found the problem... I had added Text through "Edit Text & Images", when I switched to adding a Comment text, I was able to print the "Form Fields Only"

  • Publicly sharing PDF's with form fields, tags and bookmars.

    I'm looking to be able to share a PDF document so that my coworkers are able to acces this document. I'm very aware of various ways to share the PDF, via email or Google Docs, but I need some sort of hosting that will support form fields, tags and bookmarks. It would be very beneficial if everyone would be able to access the PDF after 'sharing' and viewing on a URL. But, I really need them to be able to search and navigate easily through the bookmarks and buttons. We need this shared via internet because sharing the PDF document itself to each individual employe's computer, runs the risk of slowing computers down. Is there anything I can use, some sort of hosting site or program similar to Google Docs that will support these features?

    Note The Adobe PDFviewer requires that users to use Safari or Webkit based Browsers only.
    All gecko based browsers will not work. Adobe made conscious decision when OSX came out Not support gecko based browsers.
    So if you have any of the following Gecko based Browsers you have to use another plugin.
    SeaMonkey (equivelent to the Communicator All-in-one)
    FireFox
    Camino
    OmniWeb
    Opera and others.
    You have to use a Plugin from a fellow named Schubert of Germany, called PDFBrowser Plugin
    It supports all Browsers except Internet Explorer. Makes no difference whether gecko or webkit based. The plugin author is banned by Adobe from putting in forms support.
    And using Apple's Preview will absolute corrupt a PDF Form making it unusable if opened in Reader or Acrobat after being viewed and saved in Preview.

  • Trouble with forms not fuctioning for Mac users

    I have created a form in LC Designer that works great on PC, but doesn't work on on Mac. Or rather doesn't work on all Mac machines.  I have tested the form on two different Mac machines in my office and it seems to work fine.  However, those outside the office are not able to save the completed form or allow the user to use the email submit button.  Is there something I can do to make this user-friendly for Mac users?

    The email button function is the least of the issues.  The fonts and type size are altered, parts of the form drop out and the form fields appear to be blank until you click on them.  Upon click the information then appears.  It's really very odd. 
    Additionally, they can not save the form to their desktop.  I thought that this was me forgetting to enable user rights, but that was not the case.  At the moment, Mac users can only print the form and fax it.
    Thanks,
