Using Javascript With Acrobat Forms

Hello,
I have been attempting to use Javascript with forms made using Acrobat X Pro. Particularly, I am attempting to use the Font palette with Text fields as described in http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/CalcScripts.pdf .
One example of this is the Strikethrough property. TextField1.caption.font.lineThrough = "linethrough" and TextField1.font.lineThrough = "linethrough". I see that "linethrough" is an enumeration (Having values of 0,1, and 2). But I have tried this numerous times, in various ways, and it does not work. I also tried other Font properties and could not get them to work. Is there more setup to this? I am still very much new to developing Forms, and it was frustrating for me to not find a resource that outlined all of the stuff you could do with Forms. My only prior experience with Javascript is for web pages. The pdf I mentioned above seemed promising, but I'm having trouble implementing it.
I appreciate any help for this!

Using JavaScript with Acrobat XI Standard

I am part of a transition team setting up a new correctional facility. I am working with our IT dept to purchase licenses for Acrobat XI. I need to get a definitive answer on using JavaScript with XI standard. The forms I am working with have a variety of scripts mostly button activated. Actions include saving and renaming files to a networked drive. Money is always an issue so if I can use XI standard that would be the better financial choice. The documents will not be created using XI standard just processed.

We have a similar need. We have used Cold Fusion to display data from Our Oracle Database. We have a simple SElect Box in HTML populated with the oracle data. When someone selects say the State of Pennsylvania. then we have an On change event that runs a Javascript to go get all the cities in Pennsylvania.
Proble we are having is that inorder for the Javascript to work , we currently have to send all the valid data.
Do you know of any way to dynamically query the the Oracle database in Javascript

Using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g

Hi everybody,
I'm using jfreechart with oracle forms 11g to continue having graphs in my application since i'm migrating from forms 6i. I've already got it working and it's great. Just have one problem left. I don't know how to change the axis labels. In Bar charts, it comes with "Values" in y axis and "Category" in x axis by default. I wanted to change that or make it dissapear. Anyone knows how to?

I've never used the jFreeChart, but according to their website you can use the "setLabel" method to set the label for an axis. Check out Axis (JFreeChart Class Library) for more information.

Use Javascript with InDesign buttons?

I haven't been able to find ANY info about this anywhere, but I'm wondering if it's possible to call a Javascript function from an InDesign button, instead of link to a web address. This can obviously be done in Flash, but the same syntax that works in Flash does not work in InDesign. I'm not referring to the Scripts panel here - I'm talking about using Javascript with a button created in InDesign. I tried calling a JS function with the GetURL action, to no avail.
If anybody has ever done this, please post a sample of the correct syntax for a JS function call, as well as which action I should use. Many thanks in advance!

(Edit: I'm talking about ID CS4/CS5 SWF export, naturally)
I don't know why, but the following URL (using a global javascript function) seems to work, somehow;
javascript:alert('testing');
Arbitrary function names do not work - browser just says "function not defined" - although the same stuff works in Flash. For example;
javascript:myFunction();
Also, there seems to be very little info on which (button) properties are included in the SWF export.
Additional information on the subject would be much appreciated here, too.

Can we use WebUtil with Oracle Forms 6i

Can any one tell me if we can use WebUtil with Oracle Forms 6i..I have 11.5.9 instance of oracle apps and i want to use some features of WebUtil to customize one of seeded Oracle Form.
Any pointers in this regard are quiet welcome.
Thanks,

Strictly speaking no...however you could "backport" the webutil code and in theory you could get some of the functionality to work - this is not supported in the context of oracleForms although Oracle Applications may have their own specific solution/certification of this.

Using "calculate" in Acrobat Form to display document metadata (Author, etc.)

Can someone assist with a javascript that will retrieve the document "Subject" or "author" so that I can use that data on an acrobat form? (I am creating a form that will then be inserted as the first page in an existin adobe document and I want the form to display details about that document.

You probably don't want to use the calculate event, as it is triggered only when a field value changes. You can place someting like the following in the initial page's Page Open event:
getField("SUBJECT").value = info.Subject;

How to use Javascript in oracle forms

Hello Experts, I am new in Oracle forms using weblogic 10.3.5 with oracle forms 11g at windows 7.I have need to run a javascript code block inside my oracle form.Please suggest me that how can i do this.Actually I have need to validate my item field alike for email address for this I have to use Java script code. thank You regrads aaditya.

Hi
As Francois pointed out Oracle forms has nothing to do with html based technology. The way you can get the equivalent effect of creating consistancy in the way your objects are displayed is by creating a set of items you want and alter their apperance and behaviour and place them into object libraries (one library should do the trick). From there you subclass all of you forms items off these libraries.

How to use LDAP with Oracle forms 10g on Oracle application server

Hi,
I need some help on this. I have developed oracle forms 10g on application server 9iAS. The client want to use the existing LDAP authentication to the software we wrote. I do not know how I could configure to use the existing LDAP authentication . If anyone know how would I use the existing LDAP on different server to use when they logon to our menu in 10g to validate the user. Do I need to add any varibales in formweb.cfg or any other method. Please help.
Thanks
Luksh

I am not quite sure if this works out of the box. According to an Oracle FAQ:
4.2 Can I use LDAP to authenticate Forms Services?
Not directly. However, Oracle Login Server is able to authenticate against a LDAP directory and thus a Forms application can take advantage of this in a SSO environment. But you cannot use access control information stored in a LDAP directory with Forms.

Using Javascript with SOFIAFramework

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to set one login page designed in JSP, making use of the SOFIA framework. In order to make some validations, i have to use Javascript at the client side itself.
I tried by calling a function(Javascript) on the click of a button. My making use of alert(), i realized that i reached the function. But i got errorwhen i tried to retrieve the value of one text field.
CODE : (Javascript)
function check(){
alert("Inside function");
var name=newForm.username.value;
alert(name);
I got error at the second line of code inside the function and it states that, "newForm.username.value is null or not an object"
Could anyone help ,me to get out of this.

It might even be possible to use Reader XI for filling in the forms and saving the forms. Since this is a free product, then cost would not be an issue. The issues will be the custom files that would need to be installed on each user's system.

How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

Hi there.
According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
i.e.:
var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
This same code works in Internet Explorer.

You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
<pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

Acrobat Reader X : Error using javascript with ProtectedMode on

Stumped with an issue.
I have a PDF with a mouseup event to trigger the PDF to SAVE to a network location and it works fine in v9 but with Reader X and enable Protected Mode turned on it throws the following error:
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
Doc.saveAs
I get the above error even though the NETWORK PATH has been added in Reader preferences as a trusted PATH and the web site is listed as a trusted site.
What am I missing here?

According to the documentation, I am supposed to be able to setup a POLICY file "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" and add parameters to it such as
FILES_ALLOW_DIR_ANY = c:\tempfiles\*
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = c:\tempfiles\*
I want the ability to save to a UNC network path...it worked fine in Acrobat 9 and now with sandbox security and protectedMode in "X" nothing works.
In Acrobat X, if "enable protected mode" is on, NOTHING works and an error is thrown. If it is unchecked, the saveAs works fine.
