Implement Help Popup for each field.

$
0
0

I am desinging a Dynamic Form with many fields for displaying Pension Calculations and Start a Process to complete the pension for an employee.

 

The form will have many fields with complex meanings...

 

I want an easy and a cool way to enable extended Help   against each field on the PDF Form.

 

I do not want to use the built-in app.alert() dialog. Also, the tool-tip is not cool enough.

 

The help will be 1 or 2 paragraphs, with each about 3-4 lines of text. The width and height of the popup should be flexible and adopt to the size of the text.

 

Any one has any idea, please let me know. Maybe there is some built-in feature for this.

 

I am now thinking of a way to implement this feature.

Not sure of how to add this to my script, but my dilemma is I would like to add the row above in addition to the current row.

 

Right now the script in the "add row" button is:

Table1._Week.addInstance(0);

 

 

the row above is Table1._Above

 

 

How do I go about adding the row above to the script?

 

Thanks

Conditional Mail merging on floating table

$

I have a very challenging task and I am wondering if it's possible to achieve.

  • I have an Excel Spreadsheet which contains parents and student existing datas.
  • Every end of year we ask to parent to re-enrol their children and we send every each students information we have. If there is any change parent updating their information. With the traditional method, if a parent have multiple students in the school then they had to fill same parental information for all students. So we have decided to create a pdf form which have only 1 parent information table and multiple students information.
  • Up to here our pdf draft is promising What I am wondering is, how we can do conditional mail merge according to scenario below?

With the form below I can add many students I need from same family. Later on I will add parent table.

Parets have unique parent code so by using this, is it possible to automate mail merging if parent code is the same add all students on the same form. If not keep creating new form for every each student

Submit PDF form data to URL without submit button

$

Our client use LiveCycle Designer to design PDF forms. We've an ASP.Net Web form application, where they want us to embed the PDF form as part of our Data Entry Form. The Entry form has a Save button. And we want to save all the entry form entries (including the PDF form) in the Save button click.

 

The client PC will have adobe reader installed, so I guess we can embed the PDF form easily. I know PDF form can have Submit button and can submit data (XML) to a URL. But client does not want to place a separate Submit button in the PDF as the entry form has a "Save" button.

 

Do you have any suggestion? If I'm posting in wrong place or an already answered question I apologize earnestly and please guide me.

Is there a way to make a tabbed form? Like an Excel workbook, have named tabs.

In Excel you can have multiple tabs with multiple pages connected to it.  Is it possible to create a similar experience in Adobe forms?  like how there are tabs in Livecycle to switch between Design, Master, and Preview.  Can you make tabs in the form itself?

 

Thanks!

Livecycle ES2 - Blank Multi-lined Text Field Deleting Customer Input Data

$

Hello,

 

I am using a Java Script to add multiple lines to a blank text field.  If the customer types in the field the text replaces the lines.  If the customer just prints the form, them the lines remain.  The problem I am having is if the customer types in the field and then needs to go back and alter the text, the moment they tab or click on the text field in the for the text disappears.

 

I did not write this code, and I do not know how to get back in touch with the person that did.

 

DRF1.subform.Field_Name::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

this.rawValue = "\n________________________________\n\n________________________________\n\n______________ __________________\n\n________________________________\n";

 

 

DRF1.subform.Field_Name::enter - (JavaScript, client)

this.rawValue = null;

 

 

DRF1.subform.Field_Name::exit - (JavaScript, client)

if(this.rawValue == null)

 

{

 

this.rawValue = "\n________________________________\n\n________________________________\n\n______________ __________________\n\n________________________________\n";

 

 

}else{}

 

I am assuming I need to alter the "enter" value, but I am unsure as to how to alter it.  Your help is greatly appreciated!  I am no programer.

This is something so basic in a word processor...but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. I have a "textbox" which in essence needs to flow over 3 pages. I created the three textboxes...set the source to the same name...now how to I get them to link together so the text can flow from one to the other to the other as text overflows the box?

Can i delete standard Adobe's Script from editor?

Hello

 

I put a around 60 drop down fields in my_subform in my_form, well.

 

Now, the requirements got changed, hence i need to change all of them into a TEXT FIELDs, so instead of deleting all drop downs and placing again 60 new text fields, my idea is as below,

 

1) Just change the OBJECT TYPE from drop down to a text field in object tab by just selecting the text field entry

 

2) As TEXT FIELDs don't have any standard Adobe's inbuilt Scripts (either JS or FormCalc), i will delete all the drop down's associated stanadrd Adobe's JS (example, Pre-Open event JS) in the editor

 

Pls. let me know,

 

1 - is it OK? i mean, is it safe?

 

2 - any other poiints i need to consider while am doing my approach?

 

Thank you

'Save As' Button on Form

$

At the moment we are having to ask the user who is filling in a form to do a 'save as' and then specify a file name (that follows a particular naming convention).  It would be so much better if we could place a button on the form so that when selected it would save the form under a name which is made up of a couple of field values from the form itself.  Is this not possible?

xfa.host.importData("") breaks all my custom classes

$

Hi, All

I'm new to ADOBE programming, but have a lot of experience with the mainstream JavaScript (web).

I'm completely lost with this problem and any help would be greatly appreciated.

===================================

I have a form with several custom classes. Each custom class is a script object on the form level.

I also have a data connection to an XML file - but no fields for this file (the idea is to read the data from it and populate the form dynamically based on multiple conditions.

On the form I have a button with a CLICK event that does the following:

- uses some of the custom classes to build some data structures and form view objects.

- loads data from the XML with xfa.host.importData("");

- uses some more of the custom classes to populate form view objects with data from the XML.

The form is supposed to be used in ACROBAT without any server connections.

I test the form in ACROBAT PRO (cannot execute importData() in Designer).

After the call xfa.host.importData("") all my custom classes are lost, i.e. are unreachable in code - the debugger shows exception on 1st statement where a custom class is used.

===================================

I'll provide any additional info (code, PDF, XML) as needed.

 

Thanks,

Gene

Dynamically add values to a dropdown within a table

$
0

Hi All,

 

    Could you please help me with the following question.

 

I have a dynamic table and in one of the columns of the table I have a drop down. For simplicity lets say I have added the values x, y, z in the drop down.

I then click an Add button to add a row in the table. The drop down in the next row has the same values x,y,z.

 

What I want to do is add values in the drop down dynamically and then have these values available in the drop down when I add another row to the

table.

 

What is happening at the moment is that the values get added to the drop down in the first row ... but when I then add a row to the table these dynamically

added values are no longer available.

 

Thanks,

Jayant

Dynamic Form is painfully slow to open and edit

$

0

I'm hoping someone could take a few minutes and see if they could help me figure out why this form is so slow to 1) open, 2) add a new line, and 3) select a client in the dropdown box in the "CLIENT" column. I've tried removing the page numbering in the layout:ready event and it doesn't help the performance at all. I do have a lot of calculations and a lot of resolveNodes, but I don't think I have any other way of performing these calculations without them. If anyone could point me in the right direction.

 

The form is here:

https://acrobat.com/#d=pBkuyHMzab36bS4N0U9VEg

...and if you open it in Acrobat or Reader first, you'll see what I mean. It's not as slow in a preview in Livecycle because all of the entered data is gone.

 

Thank you for any help.

Adding a Namespace Object to the XFA Object

$

Hi,

 

I'm looking into optimizing the code in my forms. I noticed that, unlike most of the other LiveCycle Objects, the root XFA Object is enumerable and writable, and I was just wondering if anyone knows if it's safe to create my own Namespace Object and add it as a property of the XFA Object. If it is ok to do this, then it would be a great way to store all the form properties... all your Script Objects could point to the same location. I was able to get it to work using the following code:

 

//create global namespace object
var OBJ = ( function() {
          if ( typeof xfa.OBJ === "undefined" ) {
               xfa.OBJ = {};
          }
          return xfa.OBJ;
     }());


Thanks,

Anthony

Master page was printed

Hi everybody,
I have a javascript to control a page named "Blank" to display in my form .The "Blank" page is not included in page Numbering. Here is the java code:

var myCount = xfa.layout.pageCount();
if(myCount%4 > 0){
this._Blank.setInstances(4-(myCount%4));
var myPages = this.resolveNodes("Blank[*]");
for(var q=0; q<myPages.length; q++){
  myPages.item(q).presence = "visible";
}
}else{
this._Blank.setInstances(0);
}

When I open the pdf , the page number is 17,so the Blank page needs to dispay (3 pages). It works functionally.
When I print the pdf , there are some hidden pages need to display(3 pages). So the Blank page do not needs to display. But now the pdf adds a extra blank page in my form . I test it is the Blank's Master Page .

 

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot .

Best way to insert Degree symbol?

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I have an inspection form set up for restaurant/health inspectors.    Often times during an inspection they need to enter temperatures of food and like to use the degree symbol.    They're running this form on a convertible tablet pc, so a normal keyboard is not available to them in tablet mode and when in laptop mode using the combination of ALT+0176 that's still a PITA because the keyboard doesn't have full number pad and the people using this form aren't the most computer literate people out there to be able to activate the Function keys to endable number pad keys and then enter an ASCII code many times during an inspection.

 

I was looking for suggestion on how to inforporate something into the form to assist in entering the degree symbol in any text field they are in at the position of the cursor.

 

The idea's I've though of are:

 

1.) A command button that inserts the symbol, but I'm afraid clicking the button would lose focus of the destination field and there'd need to be a lot of scripting to remember which field was the last one they were in to insert it in the correct one.

 

2.) A Button or On Load event which somehow inserts the degree symbol into the Windows clipboard, but during the course of an inspection they might copy and paste something else thus clearing it out.

 

3.) Some kind of auto-replace of text.  Not sure if that's possible in an adobe form.  E.g. if they type 'deg.' have the form auto replace it to '°'.

 

4.) A special key press.  Not sure if Adobe can listen to a special key sequence not used by Adobe and Windows, say CTRL + D which when pressed inserts a degree symbol in the current location.  

 

5.) Any way to place a special icon on Adobe's tool bar to insert the degree symbol at the currently location?

 

 

Those were some ideas I'm thinking of.  Many are probably dead ends.   If you had this problem, how would you approach it?

Thanks!

 

-Mike
