Re: Web based application form filling - Adobe LiveCycle

Nith,I am doing something quite similar but not that intense. I have 3 forms that are accessed through a web application as a part of a package. So If the user logs in and select to sign up forms related to Package 1, he/she will be required to fill out each form. Now I have an issue: each user will generate a unique transaction number to identify and link each forms. Now I will pass this value from the web application...is there a way to send this value to the pdf form when the user opens the f...

Re: Setting field values between forms - Adobe LiveCycle

how do you reference another form field between forms eg. form1 accessing form 2 fields. Whats the code snippet?

Accessing another form fields - Adobe LiveCycle

I have 2 forms form 1 and Form 2; how can i access form 2 fields from form 1? I read the Acrobat Javascript reference and I saw this code snippet:var otherDoc = app.openDoc("myDoc.pdf", this);otherDoc.getField("name").value="Enter your name here: "otherDoc.getField("name").setFocus();this.closeDoc();I reconstruct it to match my form values. It opens the other form but it doesnt do anything else.Is there a way to do this?

Sending variables to a form after opening it? - Adobe LiveCycle

Need help,Here is an issue I need help with ...form 1 inserts data into a database and then form 2 retrieves some of this data from the database when it is open. After form 1 is filled out a button is clicked to open form 2. Now here is the issue: Since form 2 retrieves data from the database which was entered from form1 there obviously need to be some link between the 2 forms. Therefore a transaction number is saved to the database to link the forms. Now I need this number to be available when ...

ok thanks again

Re: Opening another pdf - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks much it worked without the path...but y it cannot be used with the path? y does the file have to be in the same directory?Dont you think thats a limitation?Norman

Re: Highlight fields - Adobe LiveCycle

no it wouldnt be limitiatiations cuz i am also using the one from professional. Tell me if you are seeing the area where u are able to enter javascript code for the form. If you are seeing it that area, its in that section below the task bar..

Re: Highlight fields - Adobe LiveCycle

This is how i will solve it..on each field: whether a text field, combo box etc you can view their events by clicking them and selecting from the drop down list; in this drop down list u will see a number of events: click, enter, exit, prePrint, preSave etc and in that list u will find form:ready. Select it and paste the code there make sure Javascript is selected as the Language.

Re: Highlight fields - Adobe LiveCycle

u can put it on the form ready event

Re: Cancelling the save action - Adobe LiveCycle

I also did some reading on my own else where and this is what I foundhttp://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/acrobat_designer/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Adobe_LiveCycle_Designer_Help&file=001406.htmlwhich states that it doesn't applies to the preSave event.Is this true? I tested the cancel action on the prePrint event and it did cancel it but when tried on the presave it failed.Here is the code I used:xfa.event.cancelAction = 1;Thanks for ur assistance.

Re: Cancelling the save action - Adobe LiveCycle

hey I just downloaded the Adobe Acrobat 9 trial version for testing to see if your solution worked...Using Livecycle es 8.2 which is bundled with the product I do see the cancelAction under xfa.event; however could you send me an example of how you use this method to cancel saving on the pre save button? code examples will help?

Re: Cancelling the save action - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks for the reply...I figured it has something to do with the prePrint/preSave events, but on what field or moreover where will I put my code to do this, meaning you are only allowed to enter codefor the prePrint/preSave events ontextfields, checkboxes etc. could i just put it on any textfield and it is guaranteed that the event will be called wen the print or save button that adobe provides is clicked. To continue whenever I am entering this xfa.event.cancelAction, u know when you enter xfa....
