Table Headrow repeats itself improperly

$
0
0

Hello,

THIS IS URGENT:

 

It is been quite some time now, I am trying to sort out a problem I am facing with repeating headrow of a table. I have tried almost every forum in adobe, and a lot of google links on the subject but does not seem solve my problem. Your help on this is greatly appreciated.

 

PROBLEM:

I have tables on my form that I need their headrows to be repeated on subsequent pages (not limited to second page). On the preview of the Adobe Livecycle it works fine, however once I open it with Adobe Acrobat 9 to enable "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" to be able to save information on the form, things get messy.

After enabling the Extend Features in Adobe Reader, I open Adobe Reader to type information, and my table goes for three pages long, and after I am done typing I save it and close. When I come back to reopen the form, I see that the heading row has repeated itself 3x on the first page, and the rest of the document it is fine. Why it is repeating itself 3x on the first page, i have no clue. but it is rather strange in deed, and it looks ugly.

 

Some Background info about a typical table of my form:

 

Hierarchy:

 

1. SUBFORM: Content:Flow; Allow Page Breaks within Content; Repeat Subform For each data item-min count 1

1.1 TABLE: Allow Page Breaks within Content

1.1.1 HEADER ROW: Allow Page Breaks within Content; Include Header Row in Initial Page; Include Header Row in Subsequent Page (if the latter one is removed, then the head rows does not repeat itself in a wired way on the 1st page after saving information on the form, but it repeats itself only for 2 pages not more)

1.1.1.1 SUBFORM: Flowed;

1.1.1.1.1 Text box: Allow Page Breaks within Content; Keep with next

1.1.1.1.2 Text box: Allow Page Breaks within Content;

1.1.1.1.3 Text box: Allow Page Breaks within Content;

1.1.1.1.4 Text box: Allow Page Breaks within Content;

1.1.1.1.5 Text box: Allow Page Breaks within Content;

1.1.1.2 Text box (empty)

1.1.1.3 Text box (empty)

1.1.2 ROW1: Allow Page Breaks within Content;

1.1.2.1 Button (JS scrpit for numbering the rows, and adding rows)

1.1.2.2 Text Field - normal settings -  allow multiple lines, expand to fit

1.1.2.3 Text Field - normal settings -  allow multiple lines, expand to fit

1.1.2.4 Text Field - normal settings -  allow multiple lines, expand to fit

1.1.2.5 Subform: Positioned

          1.1.2.5.1 Button (JS script button for moving up the row)

          1.1.2.5.2 Button (JS script button for moving down the row)

1.1.2.6 Button for deleting rows (JS Script)

1.1.3 Subform: Positioned

1.1.3.1 Button (JS script for adding rows below the last row of the table)

1.1.3.2 Button (JS script for activating the deletion button - 1.1.2.6)

 

I want that all the elements in red to be repeated on subsequent pages (not limited to page 2), properly without duplicating itself on the first page.

If necessary I can send you the file.

As said this is rather urgent, thus your reply at your earliest convenience is greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

 


 


 

 

 




Show/hide blank page on even pages

My document consists of two parts: Part 1 flowed on masterPage1and Part 2 positioned on MasterPage2. The Part 2 is a Blank Page, which must be displayed only if the total number of pages of masterpage1 is even.

 

 

Where should I put the control for the blank page while it is displayed every time that my form changes?

 

 

The entire document is printed in duplicate (which I implemented with a script javascript).

I've tried to put "Part2 hidden" in the layout_ready but it seems that will not notice the change to the numbering.

I tried to pre-print, but does not make the duplicate.

Any idea please?

Thx Tiz

I am making a pdf that auto populates several other pages with data that is entered on the first page. I want to create a button that will delete a specified page if it is not needed. I want the button on page 1. Basically:

 

When this button on page one is clicked, I want it to delete (or hide) page 3.

 

(I'm a total newbie, so keep that in mind.)

Can I restrict users from saving over the original file?

Good Afternoon,

 

I have LiveCycle and used it to create a service work order for our company. Office staff utilize the original (blank) version of this work order PDF and fill in the required information for each new customer. When done, they are supposed to 'save as' in a folder for that specific customer. Unfortunately, I sometimes find that a staff member will accidentally save over the original file, requiring me to manually clear the form and re-save. Bottom line, I want to find a way to setup the original PDF so that it cannot be saved, only saved as. I can only imagine that this is not a unique request, is there a way to do this in LiveCycle or Adobe Pro x?

Text field tool appearance

$

I am using LiveCycle Designer ES2 on a Windows 7 machine. Is there a way to change the appearance of the text field tool itself? Not the font/size attributes, but specifically the color of the boundary line between caption and value when working in Design View? I can change the outline color in the Drawing Aids window, but would like to change the little moveable line between caption and value; it is yellow right now and is kind of hard to see when working on a form.

I need to Calculate part of a drop down selection. number value and text

Hi I am translating a form from lotus notes and It has drop downs that have a number and text. I.E. options (1 - poor, 2 - ok, 3 - Good, 4 - Great) then there is a field on the bottom that calculates the selections of the boxes by the numerical value and gives a score.

 

I know how to use FormCalc language to get a pure numerical value but when the text is added after the number the calculation breaks.

 

Any Ideas?  (is it possible to make the selections just numbers and have a selection description instead?)

Need to add pages to .pdf

I was given a .pdf that was created in LiveCycle Designer and when I attempted to add additional pages to the .pdf I am unable to. I tried both the drag and drop and the insert page option. The insert page option is actually greyed out. There are no security settings enabled and the .pdf is not a read-only. Is there anything I can do to change the file so that I can add additional pages?

assign date field to ddmmyy variables

Hi Guys,

 

I have some code which takes the current date and splits it into dd, mm and yy variables.

 

 

var today = new Date();
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1;
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
this.rawValue = "Text, " + dd+ "-" + mm + "-" + yyyy; 

 

I need to pass this a date from a date field instead of taking to days date but I cannot get it working.

 

 

var today = this.parent..DateTimeField2.rawValue;
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth()+1;
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
this.rawValue = "TEXT, " + dd+ "-" + mm + "-" + yyyy; 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Any way to add custom file name to app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");?  When it saves, it does exactly what I'm needing - open windows explorer so users can drill down to the proper destination, which will be varied.  However, am having trouble finding how to name the file based on 3 pieces of form data. 

 

Example:

 

ContractNo_ProjectNo_ChangeNo.pdf

 

Any assistance appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone,

 

I'm designing a form, and i want the user to be prompted (using app.response) only when he deny a task in the workspace, but not when he approves it.

 

Is there a way to know inside the form which action is selected ?

 

For now, I put an app.response on the preSubmit event, but i need to call it only if he refuses the form in the workspace.

 

Thanks !

show/hide subform based on radiobutton on masterpage

$

I have a set of radiobuttons on my master page.

If radiobutton 1 is selected, then subform 4 must be hidden (excluded)

and when radiobutton 2 is selected, subform 4 must be visible.

 

I can't get it to work.

I tried put the script on the calculation of subform 4

 

 

if (xfa.resolveNode("formulier1.#pageSet.Pagina1.AanbestedingBetreft").rawValue == 1)    this.presence = "hidden";else    this.presence = "visible";

 

But nothing happens

 

then i tried to make a calculation on the radiobutton.

But then suform 4 is invisible, but not excluded (i get an empty page)

 

What is the best way to do this??

Position the cursor at start of text on setFocus?

Hi,

 

I have a rich-text Text Field that contains more text than fits in the viewable area. On docReady, I want to setFocus to the text field - but I want the cursor placed at the beginning of the text in the field. The default behaviour for setFocus places the cursor at the end of the text.

 

 

Thanks! :-)
