Visible/hidden depends on limited character

TextField_1 is visible and has limitation containing only 20 character.
TextField_2 is hidden.
When user will cross 20 charcter, automatically TextField_2 will be visible and cursor will go into this field.
Is it possible. How can we solve it?

On the "full" event of TextField_1 you can use:
TextField_2.presence = "visible";
xfa.host.setFocus(TextField_2);
Be aware that the 21st character will be lost, but the 2nd field will become visible and the cursor will appear there. Is this an option?

Automatic tab when reaching the end of a field with limited character number

Hello!
Is there a way of activating an automatic tab behaviour when the user reaches the end of a field with limited character number?
I'd like the cursor to jump to the next field in tab order automatically.
Possible?
Thank you for any hints!
Marcos

Hi,
What if you tried something like the following example? This works using formCalc on the change event for the field the user is currently typing into:
    var fullCount = 3
    var currentString = xfa.event.newText
    if(Len(currentString) >= fullCount)then
        xfa.host.setFocus("TextField2")
    endif
Or, if you prefer javaScript:
    var fullCount = 3;
    var currentString = xfa.event.newText;
    if(currentString.length >= fullCount){
        xfa.host.setFocus("TextField2");
These work very smoothly.
Hope this helps!

Have text be visible or hidden depending on a form value

We have an automated system that sends out a ticket for a performance as a PDF. There are forms on the PDF that are filled out with the seat information, like Loge, Row 8, Seat 12. I would like the PDF to show a line of text when the Section form says "Loge", and not show the text when it says anything else. I have tried multiple javascripts I found on the Googles in the Validate and Calculate fields and none work. In fact, I never get any text to show up no matter what I do. I am thinking those scripts are for when someone is filling out a PDF and it does the validation then. This is not a form the is filled out by the end user, just emailed out as a static document.
Is this possible?
Thanks

Please realize that JavaScirpt has many variations. There is a subset that is web based, there is a set that run on your local computer, and there is the Acrobat JS extension. Google finds these types of scripts and other items like the Java language, a whole different computer language from JavaScirpt.
Many of the responders here can adjust the web scripts to work in Acrobat.
Are you getting any errors in the JavaScirpt console in Acrobat?
Without knowing how your custom application builds the PDF and if you can update the web located PDF will determine if you can modify it.
You will have to provide a lot more information to get help. JavaScript is an object scripting language, so object names are needed and the logical contents of the field.
You could try:
// custom calculation for additional field text;
// get the section name field;
// change the quoted string value to the name of the necessary field name;
var cSectionName = "SectionFieldName";
// get the value of the section name field;
var cSectionValue = this.getField(cSectionName).value;
// convert section name value to an array;
var aSectionValue = cSectionValue.split(" ");
// test for the section name of Loge - the 0 element of the zero based array for the section field name value;
if(aSectionValue[0] == "Loge") {
// display this field;
this.getField(event.target.name).display = display.visible;
} else {
// not Loge so hide the field;
this.getField(event.target.name).display = display.hidden;
You will need to change the string "SectionFieldName" to the string name of the field in which the section data is located.

Hidden Objects made visible, hidden again upon saving?

Hello,
I've created a form where I have a master drop down list which causes other "hidden" drop downs to become visible depending upon the selection from the master.
I have the master drop down, and four "hidden" drop downs. Depending on which selection is made in the first drop down list, one of the secondary drop downs then becomes visible. This all works just fine in the pdf form, until I try to save. As soon as I fill out the form, and save, everything that had become visible is now hidden again!
I have been trying to play with the action builder and figure out why, but with no success. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks!

1) Add another action to your master drop down. Add two conditions: 'is initialized' and 'text selected' with the value you want selected. Then add the same result as you did with your first action.
2) Stop using action builder

Trouble with presence visible/hidden script

This is my first post on this forum. I have tried to figure this out on my own, but no solution.
I am creating a PDF with LiveCycle Designer ES v 8.2. and trying to a show state dropdown list if US is selected and province dropdown list if Canada is selected using an "if, else if" statement.
My form opens with both dropdown lists hidden and I want to show a picklist only if United States or Canada is chosen.
Here is my script for when the Country is chosen from the dropdown box. Can anyone figure out what is happening? The dropdown list field names are:
     cboCo_Name_Country
     cboCo_Name_State
     cboCo_Name_ProvinceI
PROBLEM: No matter which country I choose, it always go to the final else statement where both are hidden. I know this because in trouble-shooting I made combo boxes initially visible and no matter what country I chose, both fields became hidden.
form1.sf_Page_1.sf_CompInfo.sf_CustAddress.cboCo_Name_Country::change - (JavaScript, client)
// Change the presence attribute of the state and province fields.
if (this.rawValue == "United States") {                    // If country selected is US,
    cboCo_Name_State.presence = "visible";          // show US States field,
    cboCo_Name_Province.presence = "hidden";     // and hide Provinces field.
else if (this.rawValue == "Canada") {                        // If country selected is Canada,
    cboCo_Name_Province.presence = "visible";        // show Provinces field,
    cboCo_Name_State.presence = "hidden";            // and hide US States field.
else {                                                                      // Otherwise, if any other country is selected
    cboCo_Name_State.presence = "hidden";              // hide US States field,
    cboCo_Name_Province.presence = "hidden";          // and hide Provinces field.
Any help is appreciated.

I found the problem. The rawValues needed to be US and CA, and not "United States" and "Canada". I found it on the binding tab.

SCM 3 Group setting name limited character?

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to add in a setting to allow RDP session for a MDT default GPO with the following path
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Session Host\ Connections\ “Allow users to connect remotely using Remote Desktop Services”
However there is a limited number of characters i can use for the Setting Groups name ( the maximum character is up to Windows Component) and it don't seem to appear in the list after i created 1.
I can still see it when i wanted to delete it though. Just downloaded SCM 3 so don't mind me if i'm missing something obvious. The other default group settings' name has a much longer comparable to the 1 im creating. So am i missing something obvious?

Yep there appears to be a character limit on the categories. When importing or using the canned baselines you can see them using many characters, however if you edit one of these or create your own you will hit that character limit.
This also manifests as an issue when you try and export an imported baseline to ConfigMgr DCM GPOPack. In certain scenarios it will overwrite an XML in the export, thus failing when importing into ConfigMgr. It has to do with the way SCM saves
the XML categories by using the first letter of each word to make smaller filenames, i.e -
- imported baseline contains two categories for firewall (Public and Private) :
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall Properties\Public
Profile\Logging
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall with Advanced Security\Windows Firewall Properties\Private
Profile\Logging
- when exported to ConfigMgr DCM xmls, one of them overwrites the other as it tries to save them both with the filename C_W_S_W_W_W_P_Logging.xml.
ConfigMgr fails when importing the GPOPack as the reference index XML file is expecting two CIs (configuration items) linked to two XMLs, but only one XML exists.

Always render after making video visible/hidden?

I hope someone can help me, I've spent more time rendering than actually working on this project.
I'm cutting together a music video that has 3 takes. The video is layered one track on top of the other, with the only audio being the guide track. Since I can only view one video track at a time, I have to make them visible on and off. However, every time I do, it needs me to render the entire video again. Which has naturally, become rather time consuming.
I've done a lot of videos, and this hasn't happened before. Solutions?
Thanks a lot!

You are not using the application correctly. If you cannot use the multicam function, the standard way to do what you're doing is to resize the images so you can see all the clips on multiple tracks simultaneously. To work like this you probably should switch to Unlimited RT.
I would suggest that though you've ben using the application for years you need to speed a little time learning it.

Having problem in visible/hidden

I am using same script under two subform section 1 and section 2. When click on button under section1, this script is working well, but section 2 not working.
Again if I click on the button section 2, it is working well, but section 1 not working then. Each section withstand other section. I have seen presence action get corrupted.
var sec = xfa.resolveNodes("images.thumb[*]");
outer:
for(var i=0; i<sec.length; i++)
    if(sec.item(i).thum.rawValue == null)
        if (event.target.importDataObject("name"))
            var attachmentObject = event.target.getDataObject("name");
            var filetype = attachmentObject.path.substring(attachmentObject.path.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
            if (filetype === "jpg" || filetype === "JPEG" || filetype === "png" || filetype === "bmp" || filetype === "JPG")
                var imageStream = event.target.getDataObjectContents("name");
                var imageStreamEncoded = Net.streamEncode(imageStream, "base64");
                sec.item(i).presence = "visible";
                sec.item(i).thum.rawValue = util.stringFromStream(imageStreamEncoded);
                break;
            else {app.alert("Please insert correct format image");}
        else { break outer;} //if cancel
What should I do now?

Thanks for your reply.
I am getting browser option to attach image too. I have seen section 1 and 2 are not flowable, but auto hide. All parent subforms are flowable. When I make all flowable all working well. Now I have changed layout, all working well.
Do you think only child subform which is auto hide, withstands 2nd time to visible? Actually I like your idea, stong script. You know this attachment script is yours. I like your blog too.
Thanks for sharing your profound knowledge with us.

Do flow properties effect visible/hidden properties?

I have a two page form. The first page is set to flow. The second is positioned. Both have hidden subforms that are revealed when a checkbox is checked. Here is the problem: If the hidden subforms on page one are revealed, then the hidden subforms on page two will not be revealed. If the hidden subforms on page two are revealed first, however, then the ones on page one work fine. I have had this problem before. Why does the form do this and how can I work around it?
Thanks!

Here's how Paul fixed the issue: add
xfa.layout.relayout(); to the tail end of the script that controls the appearance of the hidden subforms on page 2.

Show/Hide fields based on choices in drop down menu

I need help with a script that I cobbled together from an example script; I'm not good enough at java to edit it for my needs.
I have a form where I would like different drop down fields would be visible/hidden depending on the choices made from other drop down menus.
If (for example) they select paper type "white" or "color" then "white" will result in a second menu of paper choices, the "color" selection result in them picking the paper wieght, then from there the color.
My problem stems from the fact that my form is very linited in space, so I would like some of these fields to be essentially on top of each other; visibility dependant on previous choices. I can get to Menu 1 (select paper color) and then Menu 2 if they select white. But there's a problem with setting up a third menu in this series, if they select "color" from Menu 1, then I try to have a drop down for paper weight, all the fields except for Menu 1 are hidden. Playing with the script let me have them all visible, but again, I'm limited on space and can't really spread them out.
I know I'm missing one small command... somewhere.
Here is the script I'm working with:
function control_section_fields() {
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Get the value selected in the combo box
    var section = event.changeEx;
   // Hide all of the entry fields
    getField("sec").display = display.hidden;
    // Reset all of the entry fields
    resetForm(["sec"]);
    // Display the fields for the selected section
    getField("sec." + section).display = display.visible;
where the drop down fields are named "sec.a.dd" for example, and the Export value of different values are assigned as "a", "b", etc.
Sorry for the rambling. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

also, if "==" could be roughly translated to "is", "!=" would mean "is not".
JavaScript is Case sensitive so make sure you did not name your field STATE#1 instead. It's a pretty common error. Try not to use special characters when naming fields. Stick to standards. I personnally always name fields with capital letters and numbers using identation like
MYFORM.PLACE.NUMBER
MYFORM.PLACE.ADDRESS
MYFORM.SEX.MALE
MYFORM.SEX.FEMALE
This is really useful if you have lots of fields related to one another. You can then apply methods to entire groups of fields in one simple line of code.
For example this.getField("MYFORM").display = display.hidden would hide all four fields. It works kind of the same way as folders unside your computer.
Finally, "#" is generally used as widget identification. I think this is what happened. If you copy a field, it retains the same name and some of its charateristics but acrobat will assign them a number called widget. The original field State will get the identification State#0 in the right pane as it is 0-based. The copie will be identified State#1. You must understand that the name of the field is still "State". Some methods (actions you can code) let you determine the widget number for targetting a specific field from those you copied. It is not the case here. So for disambiguation, you should name your fields different name like STATE1 and STATE2, or STATE.1 and STATE.2 if you plan to use what I wrote about earlier.

Digital Signatures and Table Row Add/Delete

I have a table that I want to add or delete rows but one of the cells in the row is a signature field; that column, always has a signature field. In the past, I have noticed that Adobe Livecycle Designer prevents the typical add or delete function (.addinstance(0)) when a digital signature field is present. I was wondering if there is a work around. One thought I had was having say 15 rows but hiding 10 of them. The add button would unhide the hidden rows up to the 15 total rows. The delete button would hide rows down to a min of 5 shown.
I was wondering if anyone know whether or not this would work and what the syntax would be. Also, is anyone aware of other work arounds?
Thanks,
Mallard27

Signatures can only be placed on the form statically, so having a repeating (1 to many) dynamic subform with a signature is invalid and is not allowed by designer. I think mostly since a signature field cant be created dynamically, it must exist in the pdf prior to loading.
However, You still can have multiple signatures in a static table as you suggested, making the rows visible/hidden depending on content and cant see why it wont work. But you will need to careful with it. I would presume you will need to make sure you are displaying all rows and then hiding those not in use. Doing the opposite will invalidate signatures. Invisible signatures are not the same as visible signatures and will be invalidated and removed. You should probably only create a new line when needed on a button action, since any hiding will invalidate the previous signatures (since its a form change). You cant lock all fields with multiple signatures and will get errors, so you will have to use form object collections and assign each one to an individual signature ( if fields are involved).
Also, If you are using any LiveCycle server components at all, I'm not sure about the level of support there is for processing multiple signatures. I probably think it would have to be done by a custom component to read the multiple signatures on the submitted xfa data.
There is further background about xfa signatures (a bit older reference) here http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/digisig_ in_XFA.pdf

Hidden folders and files with random character filenames

You could try media info to see if that tells you any different - be sure to decline the stupid addons included
https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo

Recently I noticed several hidden folders with random character names and each of those folders has 5 files in them with randomly named files. These are tiff, png, bmp, and docx files. I copied the folder to virtual machine removed from the network to inspect them, but they can not be opened as it says files appears damaged or corrupt. They appear to be benign as I ran two full system virus scans (including malwarebytes), but really bothers me how they got there in the first place. The owner says local administrators. They were found on the root of the C: drive and in documents, pictures, music, and video of the user profile. I attached a picture to help understand what they look. They are different than other examples I have seen when I attempted to google my answer. Thanks in advance!

Move text from one column to another depending on character count

Hello,
I am trying to find a way to have text start in a specific column depending on the character count.
Basically our site will have 3 columns. For example if the text only has about 300 Characters - it would start in the right column. If it had between 301 & 600 characters - it would start in the middle column and run to the right column. If it had more than 601 characters - it would start in the left column and run to the middle then right column.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for any help!
James

If you look at the String class you can probably devise a series of steps to do what you want using some basic logic. The String class has a length property that tells you how many characters it contains. Assuming you wouldn't want to split words, you could use something like the indexOf method to find the nearest blank space following the 300th character. Then you would be wanting to build different strings for the different segments you create.
