Automatically populating fields from repeatable subforms?

$
0
0

I have a flowed expandable subform with a table in it containing various fields.

I want a second positioned subform to automatically populate with the information from the expanding rows as the user adds information to the five allowed instances in the expandable subform.

How can I accomplish this in livecycle designer es4? Thanks.


Ignore case

Is there a way to have the script ignore upper and lower case?

 

I have a script that creates an array of the dropdown items then compares the users input to see if there is a match. The user needs to know to capitilize the first letter or a match will not be found. I want the script to find a match even if they do not capitalize the first letter. here's the script:

 

 

// Check that the user has not typed in a value // that does not exist in the list. If they have// then clear the dropdown. // First create an array of the items in the // dropdown list.
var vUserInput = [];for (var i=0; i<this.length; i++) {
 vUserInput.push(this.getDisplayItem(i));}// Check that the value is not in the arrayif (this.rawValue !== null&& vUserInput.lastIndexOf(this.rawValue) === -1) {
 this.rawValue = null; // clear the dropdown
 xfa.host.beep("3"); // audio alert to the user
 this.ui.oneOfChild.border.fill.color.value = "255,225,225"; // red}

Hi,

I am having trouble with my subforms, for some reason the first page doesnt shift onto the second page and then i cant get the seconf page content to shift? Any help?

 

Also is there a way of hiding a text field and if a check box is selected then it shifts the content down to make room for the box?

 

Many Thanks

Good afternoon,

 

In my application I have a spinner that allows me to jump to a certain page and I am very successful with using xfa.host.currentPage = 2 for the PDF view.

 

My question is how can I replicate this logic in HTML?

 

Thank you,

Is there code to hide/show multiple pages?

$

0

I'm very much a novice at Livecycle and coding but I have a project that is very page heavy. I'm working in LC ES2.

 

I'm up to over 50 pages now and my task is to dynamically hide/show only pages necessary to open certain account types based on user selection of a dropdown list.

 

I'm stuck on how to do so in the most efficient manner. I've been working mostly with the action builder so far and I have messed around with a very short piece of scipt to make the presence hidden for various pages on the initialize event, then an action builder to show specific pages driven by the selection of text in the dropdown.

 

My question begins with, Is there some sort of script that I can add to make every page except page 1 hidden by default, then have my action builders show  whichever pages I need?

 

Has anyone done anything similar and have any suggestions or samples of how you resolved the task?

 

Thanks!

Populate multiple items to a text field from a dropdown list

$

I am trying to create a dropdown list that when I select an item from the list it adds the item into a text box but doesn't delete the previous text box item.  I am just struggling with how to get the text field to concatenate and not simply replace the existing data with the new.  I thought it might be something I could do with action builder but it doesn't seem possible with out additional scripting.

How do I write script to populate a text field with a user's choice from a drop down?

$

    I have a drop down from which the user chooses his company name.  If they don't see their company name they choose "not listed"  If they choose "not listed" a second text field pops up and allows them to enter the company name themselves.

 

I also have a text field on a master page that is acting as a footer.  I would like to populate this field with the company name chosen from the drop down list, or if they chose "not listed" i'd like to populate it with what they typed in the second field.  Does this make sense?

 

Just getting in to scripting, and up against a deadline.

 

Thanks!!

Controlling how master pages occur

I have a form that has two pages with repeating subforms on each.

The first page is portrait and the second page should be landscape.

I want the first page portrait master to repeat as many times as required based on the subforms added.

Then I want the second page master to occur from that point on depending on how many subforms are added.

 

Is there a way of controlling which master pages occur in this way.

 

Thanks for any help.

How to flow text across multiple pages in 9

$

My form is lengthy, and one Master Page section will be text with no form fields, but the text is 10+ pages, depending on the version of terms and conditions provided.  In this link, http://forums.adobe.com/message/5112687, there is much discussion on how to accomplish in 8.2, but how would I accomplish in 9?  I would like to be able to paste the 10+ pages and have it automatically flow for that Master Page section. Have tried placing a text field and also tried a text into a flowable subform, setting it to multiple lines, keep with next, but just not sure how to set it up properly.  I can see the plus sign at the bottom of the text box, but when I preview, it does not flow to the other pages.  Was hoping to avoid setting up 10+ pages in the form, as from time to time these terms/conditions are updated, and it would be much faster to just be able to copy/paste from Word into a properly set up text field or subform.  Hope this makes sense, and appreciate any advice, thank you.

How to change the values of dropdown with two columns - offline form?

$
0

I am creating a offline Adobe interactive form.

 

I have two fields in a table :-:       Course Number and Course Name. 

 

I have a dropdown on Course Name (since users mostly know Course name)

This dropdown gets filled via a webservice (WS1) call to SAP in the form ready event

The webservice returns a table with two fields - CTEXT and CID.

I bound this Web service data connection to the Dynamic properties of Course name dropdown with CTEXT bound to "Item Text" and CID bound to "item Value" fields.

 

So when I choose the Course Name from dropdown , I can see the name in the CTEXT field (available against xfa.event.newtext propety).

 

In the exit event of the CTEXT field, I am able to pass the value to the CID as

 

this.parent.CID.rawValue = this.rawValue.          <------------ @1

 

So far so good.

 

I had to improve upon this a bit - like - when I input the CID, I have to get the Course Name.

 

So I called another web service (WS2) in the "exit" event of the CID field and it is fetching the Course name properly (WSTEXT) - I am able to store this in a text field.

 

and tried to pass the value to CTEXT as

 

this parent.CTEXT.rawValue = WSTEXT.rawValue

 

But this is overwriting the CID value because of the code @1

 

 

Can you please provide me code / syntax

 

1. To update the value of the CTEXT field based on the CID value (webservice WS2 call returns the CTEXT value)

2. Add the CID and CTEXT values to the CTEXT dropdown

3. while doing so, delete duplicates from CTEXT dropdown

 

Thanks,

GVR

Can you use Qualifiers when using data binding and a schema

$

I am very new to the ALC designer and have only worked in a limited range to create fields and map those fields directly to an element in the schema.

 

My xml instance looks like the below

 

<person>

      <PersonAddress>

             <AddressType>Home</AddressType>

             <Address>123 Street, Sandiego, California</Address>

      </PersonAddress>

      <PersonAddress>

             <AddressType>Mailing</AddressType>

             <Address>123 Street, Sandiego, California</Address>

      </PersonAddress>

      <PersonAddress>

             <AddressType>Employer</AddressType>

             <Address>123 Street, Sandiego, California</Address>

      </PersonAddress>

<person>

 

The Address information does not need to come in the same order as above and in some instances one of the addres might not be there.

 

I have an existing PDF which has been imported as an artwork. It has 3 checkboxes, EmployerAddress Checkbox, Mailing Addres Checkbox and Home Address Checkbox

 

I would like the checkboxes to be turned on if the corresponding Address type is present in the instance. Moreover there is a text area next to each checkboxes for the related addresses. 

 

What is the easiest way to acheive this without doing an xslt to transform the existing instance into another.

 

Thanks is advance for your comments/responses.

I need to link 2 drop downs together so that the second is dependant on the first. I also need to have a table appear when the second drop down option is selected. If they change their mind and select a different option in the 2nd drop down a different table needs to appear. Currently i have 2 drop downs that are linked so that the options in the 2nd will change but i cant link this for a table to appear? Im not great with Java or scripting.


Remove first blank page

Hi,

I have a document which has two master pages, the first is portrait and the second is landscape.

Certain conditions in the form cause some pages to become hidden, it all works perfect except for this:

There is one condition which requires the first page to be landscape, the pagination of this page is set to be on master page two. It works correctly, however a first blank portrait page is displayed, is there any way to prevent this blank page from showing up?

 

Thanks
