That's great, thank you. Actually, I clicked on the page in question,
then went to the Pagination tab in the Object, and set place to "On
Page, Page0."Now I can go wash my remaining hair! Thank you for the
quick response.
I'm using LCD 8.2.1I have a mult-page form that works. When I add a
page, the page is added to the bottom of the form and I can then MOVE
the page my clicking on the page header in the Hierarchy section and
then dragging the page to where I want. Seem to work.However, if I move
the page to page 1 (after the Master Page), I always end up with an
extra blank page at the beginning of the document AND I cannot get rid
of that extra page. If I MOVE the page to somewhere other than page 1,
the blank p...
Thank you for the suggestions.Yes, I'm viewing the image on the same PC,
but note that the image is not even showing while I'm creating the form
in LCD. And yes, I have Embed Image Data checked.No matter what sizing I
use, I still see nothing.
I have a form where I am adding an image (not an image field). When I
double-click the image and point to the logo (jpg) that I'm trying to
insert, it seems to work, but no image is displayed.I have tried this on
Vista and Windows7, but the result is the same. I'm using LiveCycle
Designer ES, V 8.2.1.4029.All suggestions are appreciated.
Still not working.How can I post the form? Note that because the form is
not offically released, it is still confidential. Can I email it to
you?BTW...really appreciate the help that you are offering here.
var cTheEmail = ecPrimaryEmailAddress.rawValue;var cToPass =
'http://www.MyWebsite/MyUpload?email=' + cTheEmail
;app.alert(cToPass);If I execute the above, when I click the button,
nothing comes up.If I replace the cTheEmail Variable with the following:
var cTheEmail = xfa.resolveNode("ecPrimaryEmailAddress");then the
following alert pops up,http://www.MyWebsite/MyUpload?email=nullNote
that I DO have a value in the primary email address.
I'm using LCD (most recent version) and I'm having trouble building a
string -- obvious newbie! 🙂I have a field called PrimaryEmailAddress
where the user specifies their email address.I have created a button,
when clicked, will open a URL and pass the email address as a
parameter.Using Javascript, I though I could do the following:var
cTheEmail = PrimaryEmailAddress.rawValuevar cTheURL =
'http://www.MyWebsite.com/MyUpload?email='+cTheEmail
;app.launchURL(cTheURL);Suffice it to say, but this doe...
I love that answer -- short, and to the point.I half expected that I
might get a few "you need to watch it" or "consider that." Is there any
"advise" within this context?
I have designed a LC form (with lots of JavaScript code).I just realized
that the form can be viewed and completed within a browser or the
Acrobat Reader.Since I have done all my testing with the Reader, my
question is, "Can I expect the form to function the same, within a
browser?"I'm assuming the principle browsers like Explorer, Safari, and
Firefox -- at their latest versions.Thank you for all feedback.
Hi Adobe_Learning (I'm learning too!) 🙂I too have developed a LC form
using JS. I just tested with Acrobat Read 9 by turning off JS, as
described in this post. When I went to open my form, the reader gave a
warning and asked if I wanted to turn JavaScript on.This tells me that
YOU don't have to do anything within the form. However, if you have a
document or set of instructions that go with your form, you probably
want to address that issue there -- tell users that they need JS turned
onGood Luc...
Getting close.... -)I was thinking that I could grab the current time
and store it in a variable (StartTime), then place the EndTime in a
variable (StartTime + 10 Seconds).I could then setup a do while loop
(while time was < EndTime).Because I'm new to this, I don't know how to
go about it. Help is appreciated.
Thank you Paul, this is helpful.With this command, my JS continues, and
then the message appears, a specified time later.I'm was looking for
something that will allow the JS to pause for a specified period of
time, for example, 10 seconds, and then continue.Your help is
appreciated.
I have a button on a form and when the user clicks it, I want to wait a
specified number of seconds and then continue with a javascript.What the
best way to do this?All suggestions appreciated.
I have a submit button in a form and when the user clicks it, I want to
check to see if they changed anything on the form. If they did, I will
advise them to save the form before submitting.How would I determine if
anything changed?Thanks for the suggestions....
Thank you for this explanation -- that helps.Since I have a Date/Time
field (SubmitDate) in my form, how would I populate that with the
current date and time?
I have a date/time field called SubmitDate. I'm trying to store the
date/time into that field, just before saving the form. For some reason
this JS is not working.SubmitDate.rawValue =
Date.getDate();app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");app.launchURL("http://Adobe.com");Am
I doing something wrong?
Resolved...finally!To resolve this I setup a variable (File,
Form-Properties) called JustOpened. I set the default value to "yes"I
then put JustOpened.value = "no" in a form:ready event (you can use any
object for this).I then put JustOpened.value = "yes" in the DocClose
event (you can use any object for this too).In my validate function, I
only execute the validate code if JutOpened = "no." Works like a
charm.What I learned through this is that each object has associated
with it, a list of (I t...
Hi Laura,When you put a field (object) in a form, there are a number of
"events" that you have access to. If you click the "Show" drop-down list
in the top left corner of your screen, you will see a list of these
events. One of the events is "validate." That's where you would write
your code (FormCalc or JavaScript) to validate user input.Hope that
helps....
Thank you Ocen12...you reply reminded me where these events are
located.The DocReady event is what I was looking for. It's the first
event that is executed.Thank you.
Thanks Paul,This is the way I need to go here. However, this is proving
more difficult that it first looks.I created a variable called
JustOpened and set the initial value to "yes"In my validate routine, I
set JustOpened to "no" and then call my function. This does not work
because, as you indicate, the validate function is called when the form
opens.I like the idea of having the JustOpened variable and I think that
having the default set to "yes" could work. However, where could I set
JustOpene...
I saw this somewhere...but the brain is drying up!When you create a form
with LCD and someone opens that form with the Acrobat Reader, a function
is automatically executed. What is the name of that function and how do
I get access to it?Conversely, is there a function that run when the
user closes a file.I'm trying to set a few variable values when the form
opens and closes.Thank you for the feedback....
Thank you the feedback. My problem here was that when I created my
objects, I used dashes in the names, as in "My-First-TextField" and this
caused all kinds of problems -- problems that you don't want to wrestle
with when you are learning something new!Since renaming all my objects,
most of these problems have disappeared.Thanks again.
I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.xIs there a way to tell if an external
file exists in LCD?More specifically, if a file exists in the same
folder as the form, I want to execute certain javascript code, otherwise
not.Thank you for suggestions....
Getting close....Because I'm a newbie, I'm not sure how to change the
value of a different field and I will need this for your suggestion to
work.To make it simply, assume that I have two fields MyFirst and
MySecond.Assume that I'm on the first field (MyFirst). What would I put
in the calculate event to change MySecond to, say "abc"Thank you for
your help.
Thank you for the feedback.I did move the code to the exit event, but
from an end-user perspective, I found this a bit confusion. For example,
I have the imagefield (photo) and a text field (title),If the user adds
an image that is too big and I put the code in the exit event (nothing
happens), then when they click on the title field, they get the
imagefield message.If there a way with java script to put code in the
function that might say something like, "if the user is on this
imagefield, then...
I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.I have an Image field in a form with a
validation java script that checks the size of the image that the user
is adding. If the image is over 1MB, I issue a warning, but leave the
image. There is no problem there.However, after the file is saved and
upon opening the PDF, the LCD seems to run through all the validate
scripts and therefore, issues the size warning.Any ideas how I can avoid
the warning when the form is opened?All suggestions are appreciated....
