How and what would I apply and can this be done within the form or does
it have to be done at the server level? I do have users outside of the
company so they wouldn't have access to our servers.
I was wondering if there is a way to write code to detect when "Save a
Copy" is used in Acrobat 11 or older when saving a document? I would
like to use said code to popup an app alert to advise the user, prior to
saving, that using "Save a Copy" strips Reader extensions and that they
should instead save using "Save" or "SaveAs". I know I can use the app
alert in the presave event but it allows the user to save first before
the alert is shown and I would very much like the warning to come first

ABarbuzzi,I have done this by putting a text box over the signature box
and having that text box disappear when the mandatory fields are
complete. I have gone as far as displaying text that states, "Until all
mandatory fields are completed, the signature field will not be
visible". By having the text box over the signature field, the user
can't sign the signature field as they are actually clicking on the text
box.I hope this helps,Joe
I could not get the initialize to work. So instead, I did the
following:Initialized the page to check to see if the signature title
field was null. If it was null, I hid the page.I then added a text field
over the signature field that stated "You must fill out the title before
the signature field will appear".I initialized the signature to test the
title field for null. If null, hide the signature and show the text.
else, hide the text.I then set a change formula to the title that said
to hide t...
Niall,Thanks for the example. This code works great for a button press
but I can't get it to work with initialize. I need to initialize the
form with form1.ProcurementLetter_Page1.presence = "hidden" only when
the signature field (form1.RCP_Form_Page1.Block_28.Suppliers_Signature)
is unsigned. When the field is signed, I am going to use the PostSign
event to trigger the appearance of this page. Unfortunetly, I can't get
this to work using your code listed in your example. If I hide the page,

I have a subform with a table in it. I have a two buttons in the table.
The addTable button adds another instance of the subform (i.e. a new
table). The delTable button is supposed to delete the table I am in. The
code for remove is _subform.removeinstance(this.parent.index). The
problem is that the remove button always removes the first table and not
the table specific to itself:Example 1: have table 1 and add another
table. Hit delete on table 2 and it deletes table 1. Hit delete on Table
1 an...
I have a table that I want to add or delete rows but one of the cells in
the row is a signature field; that column, always has a signature field.
In the past, I have noticed that Adobe Livecycle Designer prevents the
typical add or delete function (.addinstance(0)) when a digital
signature field is present. I was wondering if there is a work around.
One thought I had was having say 15 rows but hiding 10 of them. The add
button would unhide the hidden rows up to the 15 total rows. The delete

I think I have run into this before. If you have a static form that
won't let you save as dynamic; try creating a new dynamic form and
copying over all the info. Even if formulas exist in your form, if you
copy everything over, these should copy. Unless your form is huge, this
should be realitvely simple.Mallard27
I think I asked the wrong question but you have the right answer. I just
realized the switch(xfa.event.newText) is formcalc...I misread this the
first time which means I really have no question...but your solution
would work.Thanks,Mallard27
I was wondering if someone could provide me with the syntax for formcalc
for the following javascript. This is used to hide or make visible 2
fields based on a value in a drop down list:switch(xfa.event.newText) {
case 'A - Approved': form1.Page1.2nd_Title.presence = "visible";
form1.Page1.2nd_Signature.presence = "visible"; break; default:
form1.Page1.2nd_Title.presence = "hidden";
form1.Page1.2nd_Signature.presence = "hidden"; break;}Thanks,Mallard27
Zomaxx,Have you checked the security settings? May also want to check
the security settings of IE9. The only thought that comes to mind is
making sure javascript is enabled.Mallard27
Connie,The following example is using javascript in the script editor
(there is a drop down for formcalc or javascript). Where you do the
calculation is up to you but I am not sure I would put it on the master
page; I would personally stick to the design view page.--------Below is
the code-------var phrtotal = 0; for (i=0; i <
form1.Analysis_Page_3.Analysis_Summary._Analysis.count; i++) { if
(Analysis_Summary.resolveNode("Analysis[" + i + "].Proposed").rawValue)
{ phrtotal = phrtotal +

You state that you have "Multiple lines" checked but you don't get
multiple lines. Does this mean you don't see visually mulitple lines or
you have tested the form and you can't enter in multiple lines? If you
are wanting the field to expand as you type, please check out my
solution here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/832659?tstart=0.Mallard27
Richard,I am not following your exact problem. Are you having trouble
inputting a text field for the users to fill in or having problems with
the users filling in the text fields? Could you maybe describe the form
from top to bottom or post a link to the form?Thanks,Mallard27
Connie,For question 1: Yes, and no: you can locate the "add" button
anywhere you would like. However, the "delete" button should be within
the row you want to delete so that you delete that specific row. The add
button will add to the end of the table and I have never been able to
get it to add between fields; so placement of this doesn't matter. The
syntax of the add button is simply a click script with:TableName._Row
you want to repeat name.addInstance(0); (this is javascript). Example,

Flat Stick,Could you clarify the problem for me? Is the issue that you
don't have tabbed fields in your beautiful form or the tabs aren't
working correctly? It sounds like you created the form in LiveCycle
Designer, is that correct?LiveCycle Designer allows you to set the
tabbed order of the fields, so if you used this from the beginning, I
should be able to walk you through this. If you used Adobe Acrobat to
create the form, simply open this form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer; see
more on page 11...
jbhoo12,You may want to check out this post which seems similar to what
you are asking: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/332406.I am familiar with
HTML and CSS and have many more hours under Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
Having read your post, I would think it far more simple to create the
necessary form in HTML and use a pre-existing HTML database option that
stores the data for you. A 17 page form in Adobe Acrobat will take you
many hours to setup. Once setup, you will be forced to write code or

Sorry, I should have specified the version; this feature is available in
Adobe 8 Standard and Professional. Adobe 9 also has this feature. If you

One easy way to resolve this is to change your form to a dynamic form
and make that field expandable. To do this, save the file as "Adobe
Dynamic XML Form". You will need to change the layout of your form to
make it Flowed vs. positioned but before you do that, you will want to
prepare the form for this.Flowed forms layout the fields for you and
place each field below the last so you can't control the layout.
Positioned layout allows you to put the objects wherever you want with
the caveat that ...
I am trying to create a form that will filter the view depending on what
is entered into a Field "Rev". I am using a button to execute this.I

is called "instructions_table" and the row count starts as one and is
called "instructions". The row count can increase with the push of a

Another method to try is to enable Adobe Reader extensions. After you
create the form, close the form and open in Adobe Acrobat, go to
Advanced "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". By enabling this, you are
giving all users with Adobe reader the right to fill out the form and
save the form. They could then fill out the form, save it to their
desktop, and email it back to you.This might not be the way you want to
go but it works. I have multiple forms like this without any problems
and am using the...

Here is my situation:I have a checkbox that hides a text field and a
table when the checkbox is not checked. Within the table, I have a

checkbox, when unchecked, only hides the original table and does not
hide the added instances.What code do I use to hide all instances of the
table?Thanks,Mallard27
WOW!!!That is so much simpler AND IT WORKS! Thank you so much. I was

simpler and works to boot.Thanks again for the great help!
