Thanks guys for your responses - I solved this by forcing the mandatory
state each time the visibilty is changed. Not the most elegant but
effective.@Magus - your script looks the business however a little to
complex for me to slot into my form - I wil use it in future forms
though - thxThanksE
HiI want to make fileds only mandatory when they are visibleI thought
this code would work but it doesnt seem to do anything?Here is my code
currently - any ideas guys?if (form1.Page1.DropDownList1.presence ==
"visible") {form1.Page1.DropDownList1.mandatory = "error";}if
(form1.Page1.DropDownList1.presence == "hidden")
{form1.Page1.DropDownList1.mandatory = "disabled";}Thanks in

Hi AllI understand there is a limit of 500 responses for a reader
extended fillable form? Does anyone know how this is 'policed' - ie is
there a counter somehow embedded in the form which automatically
disabled it or is it (more likely ) governed by the usual Adobe right to
audit a company etc?ThanksEllis
Hi AllI'm after some advice...I have a dynamic form created with
LiveCycle ES2. I also have a list of suppliers in excel. I need to
'merge' these documents almost like a 'mail merge' type function where
each suppliers name and address is injected into the form and a new
'supplier specific' version of the form saved (with the supplier name in
the title if poss)I thought AutoMailMerge plugin could do the job but it
does not work with dynamic forms Any suggestions as to how to achieve
this folks?Th...
HiI have a form where I want to replace the Submit Button with a regular
button to take better control of the created email title and body etc. I
think I can achieve this using knowledge from previous threads on here
however I am struggling to find the code to make my validation work.Is
there a JS command to invoke the form based validation and check for
null on all the fields I have set to 'User Required'?ThanksEllis
Hi BruceMany thanks for the code - it's almost there. The only issue is
that it seems to check for duplicates of the first row's value only. So
it works great looking for duplicates of the first row however allows
duplicated rows of any other value - as per the image here where
'Workforce B' is repeated:I have uploaded the section of the form below
as I imagine solving referencing issues is tricky without seeing the
form layout - any further help much appreciated.Thanks again

Hi AllI have a repeating row in a table (+\- button on each row to add /
delete). On each row the user selects a value from a drop down (the
dropdown list is populated from a JavaScript object literal if that
makes any odds)What I need to do is to check for duplicate drop down
selections on different rows and warn the user they have selected a
value twice.I currently have this code in the change event of the
dropdown which works great but for the first row only - how do I tweak
it to work for ev...
Hi RadzmarI am very interested in the solution you directed jcarlosd to
at
http://thelivecycle.blogspot.de/2011/01/populate-data-from-attachment.htmlhowever
I am unable to download the example pdf ( I assume it has expired after
so long?)Do you still have it ? Would it be possible to re upload it
please?Many ThanksEllis
Hi BruceI am tring to get my head around arrays and am looking for
example forms / JS that I can decipher and reuse (basically steal! ) My
task is to build a form that is 'preloaded' with information (possibly
an array?) - an initial dropdown is prepopulated with the values from
the first 'column' of the array . Once a user selects a value (Eg 'Surry
Hills') the cooresponding information is then sent to various text boxes
(Eg '415 Bourke Street' , 'PO Box 2' etc). (The array would normally
have ...
Thanks BruceThe webserver solution looks ideal - nice and simple - do
you know if this will require Acrobat or will users with Reader be able
to connect? I thought I'd read that Reader would not allow external
connections? If my helpful IT department hadn't removed Reader when they
installed Acrobat on my laptop I'd be able to check! Thanks againE
HiI need a form to populate dropdown selections upon form initialisation
and then pull additional data accross to the form from a simple table
located 'somewhere'. The data is fairly simple and there is no
requirement to 'write' to the table or database from the form. The
diagram below attempts to describe what I need to do.My question is this
- what are my options for the source of the data? It will be relatively
small amounts of data <2000 lines and could be 'embedded' into the form
if require...
HiI am looking at converting an existing form from its current
configuration where all data is user entered, to a configuration where
the form pulls data from a database stored on a network share.My
question is what versions of Acrobat / Reader / Livecycle are required
to achieve this. I have looked at the diagram below that exaplins a lot
but I want to check my understandingThe above suggests that to use a
database connection I would need to 'Reader Enable' my form using
Livecycle RE? Is this c...
HiI am trying to use the action builder to check a c series of
checkboxes when a button is clicked.However the OK button is greyed out
as per below? Any ideas folks?Or the JS for ticking / unticking a
checkbox would be grand! ThanksEllis
HiI have a large form that I had mapped the xml to a spreadsheet for
onward processing. I have created another verion of the form adding lots
of new fields and re using existing fields. The only changes I made to
the original for was to set some of the fields to 'Global Binding'
however this seems to have broken the xml mapping? Now when I import
data int the xml no data appears (even though data is present when I
view the xml in IE)I fear I will need to remap the entire form (takes a
while) unl...
HiI am experiencing some strange behaviour when importing data into my
form. My form collects data via dynamic tables ( '+' and '-' buttons to
add and remove rows) and then concatenates the text in hidden 'mirrored
tables' to get the text into the required format for onward processing.
The issue I have is that when I import data (xml) some of the mirrored
tables expand to the correct number of rows and get populated fine
whilst others do not. I can see no difference in the code for the
different...
Hi - I'm no expert believe me but I think what you need to look at is
the concept of 'positioned subforms' in a 'flowed container' subform.I
found this guys you tube videos invaluable - this one is probably the
one you needForm Flow | Usually Simple / Never EasyGood luck!E
I need users to be able to import the xml created from one PDF form
(designed in ES2) into a second PDF form (also ES2) - it basically uses
the same data and displays it in a different way.This works fine with
Adobe Acrobat Pro as iy has the option to import data - however this is
not present in the Reader.Is there any way around this? Any freeware or
such like perhaps?ThxE
HiMy form collects email addresses however I want the form to
'recognise' the entered email address as an email address and create a
link to create an email when clicked.I'm using ES2 and have set the text
box to rich text - am I missing something here?See above image - how do
I get the form to recognise that as an email address and create a
hyperlink to open an email to send to this address?Thanks!!E
Thanks both for your ideas Radzmar : I amended your code by adding some
additional fields ( I have 7 in total ), I have used exactly the same
syntax as your example yet it only seems to recognize that the first 2
fields are not null? Also the "empty" result does not seem to work?Here
is my amended code:Subform2.ImpactsTable.Row1.FinanceNotes.rawValue =
ImpactsTable.Row1.FinanceImpact7.isNull &&
ImpactsTable.Row2.HealthSafetyImpact7.isNull &&
ImpactsTable.Row2.OpsBusinessImpact7.isNull &&
Impacts...
Hi Guys - would appreciate a little help here, I think I'm close but...I
am trying to write javascript to check whether several fields are null.
Basically if ANY of the fields are populated then FinanceNotes should =
"filled", if they are ALL null then it should be "empty".The code I have
so far is below however I am unsure what the correct syntax is to add
all of the fields (FinanceImpact7, HealthSafetyImpact7 etc) - is it &&
or || etc?if (ImpactsTable.Row1.FinanceImpact7.rawValue == null &&

Hi MagusAppreciate this thread is a year old now but I think I can use
similiar code to validate a table I have (see post below)Validation -
user needs to complete at least one field of a table...One immediate
question: where would I put this javascript? What object and what event
to trigger?ThanksEllis
Hi AllI have a table, which is populated by the user using dropdowns. I
have some javascript which auto populates to the right of the users
selection.This all works fine however I now need to add some validation
to check that the user has completed at least one field on one line.The
table is belowSo the validation (mandatory) needs to error unless at
least one field is populated (in the dropdown section ie not 'Notes' or
'Date')The pdf can be found here:Dropbox - 207 For Forum.pdfAny
suggestions...
