Center Text Using Button - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I am creating a new form and what I am trying to do it when the user presses a print button, I would like the form to center the text in a specific text field. I have tried a few different things, but nothing I have been doing has been working and my JavaScript knowledge is not very high.

Keeping Fields Open While Saving/Printing as a PDF - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello. What I am trying to do is create a form in LiveCycle ES2 where either one user can fill in their ideas, print as a PDF or save it and lock their fields so nothing else can be added, and then the next person can add their thoughts in another field, etc. but I have not found a way to do so without all fields being printed and no longer visible or be changed. Another example of this would be is emailing a price quote to a potential customer and also having a copy of our service order agreeme...

Autopopulate Date In Table - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I am attempting to create a form with a table that has the date autopopulated for each row. When I click a button using the instance manager, it will add a row, and another button will remove the most bottom row. I am stuck now that when I add a row, it only has the date autopopulated on the top row, and not the one I just added. I am using this Javascript to acheive the date:if(this.rawValue == null){ this.rawValue = util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());}else{} I am wondering if anyon...

Re: Document Question - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I am a little confused to your response. I have never used the MouseEnter or MouseExit scripts before, but the other one I am using to show or hide an entire page, click once the page is shown, click again, it hides, but it is not working for subforms, only full pages. Is what you are saying is that my code is incorrect? Any idea what'll make it work?Thanks again for the replyJustin

Document Question - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks for reading. I am creating a form that is using a Mousein and Mouseout script. My idea is that when I hover over a specified spot on a map, I am using a button without any fill color, border color or text, have text appear showing the name of that location. I currently have the javascript as subform.presence = "visible" (for when I am entering the button) and subform.presence = "hidden" (when I am exiting the button). This part works fine if I save after editing the script, but when I try...

Re: Show/Hide Subform Based on Drop Down - Adobe LiveCycle

Any update or feedback?

Re: Show/Hide Subform Based on Drop Down - Adobe LiveCycle

Update,I found a script that works for the first 10 stores:if (xfa.event.newText == "store number"){ storenumber.presence = "visible"; //if I want the subform to be visible storenumber.presence = "hidden"; //if I want the subform to be hidden...}The idea would be to have all 150 stores in there and select them through the drop down, but I can only get the first 10 to work. Is there a limit on how many Adobe will read that I am missing?Thoughts on any of this? Any help would be appreciated.Justin

Show/Hide Subform Based on Drop Down - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I have a form that will have about 150 different alarm panel zone lists (specific alarm points: doors, panic buttons, etc) and I would like to have it be where I choose the store, for example 3351 and have the zone list populate in a table below. I was using the switch(this.rawValue) function, which works for a small amount, no more than two, but when I start adding more stores, it stops working. I am wondering if any one has any idea on how to do this. I am a novice, but have played aroun...

Re: Click a button and input text... - Adobe LiveCycle

If you like, I can email my form to you, as I do not know how to put a link from Adobe in here, and you can see what I am trying to do. Right now I like the idea of the instance manager and check box, but a button could work in the same setup...Justin

Re: Click a button and input text... - Adobe LiveCycle

Kevin,That is the plan. My whole intention is to put the button with no border, background or wording over a word, i.e. Initial. Then when the person clicks that button, it will put in the wording in that box. I did, however, figure out how to put a white font check box in the form to do the same thing, which will not show on the printed document. The next issue I am having is that when I use instance manager to make a new line, the check box will only work on the top line and no others. If I ca...

Click a button and input text... - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I am wondering if this is possible. I am creating a Dynamic PDF, which has a text field that I want to put a "hidden" button on, by hidden I mean to eilmiate wording and fills so you cannot see it. What I want this button to do is when clicked, input a specific text into that text field. I have no idea how to even go about this. I know about doing this with a radio or check box, but not with a button. Does anyone have ideas?Thanks!Justin

If then statement help - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I think this is an if then statement I need, if not, please let me know as I have no idea where to start with this. What I am trying to do is show how many SMS messages are going to be sent based on a numeric number of text. For example, if the user inputs less than 120 characters, only one SMS message will be sent. If 120 to 240 are written, two messages are going to be sent. If 240-360 are written, three messages are going to be sent, etc. I am wondering if Livecycle can do this and what...

Help With A Repeating "Row" - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I have a question regarding repeating a row, but I am not sure if this is possible. I made a simple form, at first I tried making a table to display this, but for some reason my drop downs were causing an error that would not go away. So I made a table using rectangles. What I currently have is two rows, one being the header (Date, Start, End, Officer, Code, Location, Notes) and the other being the text fields to input the information. Currently my hierarchy looks like this: P1 (flowed) SF...

Re: Having Page Fields Automatically Go To The Next Page - Adobe LiveCycle

Thansk for the reply.. Nothing I do makes it work the way I want. Pretty much in a nut shell, I want to be able to create a hidden image field, and when someone clicks "Yes" on a question with radio button, the entire form moves down, showing the image field so the user can add an image... I just think this one is not possible Justin

Re: Having Page Fields Automatically Go To The Next Page - Adobe LiveCycle

So I did some additional reading online about making the entire form flowed, and then having positioned subforms, but I cannot figure out what I need to do to make this work. I uploaded my form to Acrobat.com, but cannot figure out how to post the link.. Can anyone help me figure this out... my frustration levels are going through the roof...justin

Re: Having Page Fields Automatically Go To The Next Page - Adobe LiveCycle

Having Page Fields Automatically Go To The Next Page - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I have yet another question. What I am trying to achieve is this. We have a questionaire that is filled out and based on the responses, I would like a image field to appear below the question. The only problem I have is that, there are multiple questions that would need to be moved. I am wondering if there is a way to do this so that the questions would automatically move down to the next page and allow space for the image field. I am not even sure where to begin with this, but know this w...

Re: Count Radio Buttons - Adobe LiveCycle

Kyle,Thanks for the reply and the words of incouragement. I tried what you suggested, but for some reason, it did not work. Is there a way to get a sample document of this? I work better seeing than reading, if that makes sense. I think I might have incorrectly made all of my radio buttons Thanks .Justin

Count Radio Buttons - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,Sorry about all these questions I am writng lately, but I am still learning javascript and all of the programming that goes into this.. Anyway, I am filling out a form that requires users to fill in radio buttons. Depending on the response of the radio button, the user has to include a picture. I would like to be able to have specific radio buttons add up to give me a total number of pictures that need to be added. So if they choose "Yes" for questions, 3, 5, 8, etc. it will add up however...

Selecting A Radio Button Will Select A Different One - Adobe LiveCycle

Hello,I am working on a form where the users answer a series of questions. With one of the questions, if No is selected, they are to select N/A on the next question. I have tried all of the coding that I know to make this do this automatically, but I cannot figure out something that will work. Does any one have any suggestions?Thank you!Justin
