Re: All caps display pattern - Adobe LiveCycle

Not really (at least I don't know how to do that). What you can do is put the script on your clipboard, open the script editor and choose the "change" event from the "Show" drop-down and then click on each field you want to change and paste the script in each. Not very elegant or smart, but it works.

Controlling end-user menu interaction - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,I created a form with an embedded reference table (spans two pages) that the user can access through a show/hide button. I don't want them to leave the table displayed when they save or print the form. In my form, I provide print and save buttons in my form ( I inserted a script that hides the table if the user clicks print or save).However, if the user chooses to print or save through the Reader menu, the table (if displayed) remains displayed and /or prints. Is there any way that I can fix ...

Making a check box in a table visible conditionally - Adobe LiveCycle

I have a purchase requisition form with a dynamic table (rows may be added or deleted). Its working pretty good except for one scenario. I have a calculation of state tax in each line because not all items may be taxable. If the user checks the "taxable" radio button before entering the quantity and price, the tax calculation does not occur because clicking the radio button initiates the tax calculation. One solution I have thought of is to hide the radio button until both the Qty. and Price fie...

Re: All caps display pattern - Adobe LiveCycle

In your script editor, at the top left hand corner, there is a drop-down which allows you to associate scripts with events for a particular field. So, if you have a text field, select it in your form and associate a change event script with it.Hope this helps.

Re: Overflow issue - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks again Kyle! That was my mistake in checking this yesterday evening (well...I can make the excuse that I was anxious to leave --or more truthfully, didn't think it was important for the content break setting to be true for Table1 when its container was set to break between pages).

Overflow issue - Adobe LiveCycle

I inherited a rather complex form in which one of the tables (auto-populated by a previous user-populated table) overflows and does not go to the next page. The table in question is wrapped in a flowed subform (allows page breaks) which itself is contained in subform (also flowed with page breaks). The pagination properties of the problematic subform, containing the table that does not go to the next page, are set to "Following Previous" and "Continue Filling Parent"--which seem correct to me.

Re: Part of script not working - Adobe LiveCycle

I think I understand; if I am correct in my understanding then using this.rawValue to set the value of a field with a change event does not work because data binding occurs after the change event has expired--and to the field value last set (which would also explain the time lag and execution of other events before the caption change I requested gets executed) . Thanks again.

Re: Updating actions based on checkbox selection - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks for your suggestion Bibhu,The intent is to have the user make a choice in the dropdown first before filling out the rest of the form since the checkbox in question displays alternate information based on the choice in the dropdown--other settings and entries are not affected. Revision feedback recieved since I started the form requests that I provide some guidance to the user in helping them make the correct choice.

Part of script not working - Adobe LiveCycle

There are three values specified in a dropdown list contained in a subform. I want the dropdown value to be set, and the caption of a text field to be changed, by a script which requires the user to answer a question. The problem is with setting the value of the dropdown list itself. It does NOT change. The caption of the text field changes as expected and the message box also displays.In the change event of the dropdown list, I have the following script:var nButton = app.alert({cMsg: "Question"...

Updating actions based on checkbox selection - Adobe LiveCycle

Hi,In the order of filling out my form, the user must first choose between A or B in a dropdown box; the value is required and the default is no value specified.Afterwards, if and when the user selects a checkbox (on of four boxes) my script determines whether A or B is selected. Based on this determination, the form displays Text-A or Text-B.This works fine...unless the user changes the selection in DDbox after selecting the checkbox! The form displays the old text--unless the checkbox is unche...

Re: Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address? - Adobe LiveCycle

I see a note at the bottom of your dialog box hinting that the "Remember Me" check box being ticked may have something to do with or maybe its a part of Acrobat Identity preferences.The answer may lie in changing the preferences that have the problematic mailto: address specified as a default.

Re: Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address? - Adobe LiveCycle

The Submit button is included in the Object Library (Window>Object Library). You can drag and drop it on your form. Select the Submit button and open the Object window (Window>Object). Midway in the window you will see a field called URL. Enter the email address in that field (e.g mailto:someone@somwhere.com)

Resetting a dynamic form - Adobe LiveCycle

How do you send a form back to its original state (the state in which it opens)? My form has subforms which are made visible or hidden based on user selection. The canned reset button just resets the input data but does not hide/show fields that are visible/invisible due to user interaction. I don't know the command for re-initializing the form and a quick search turned up nothing.

Re: Check box only visible when data is entered in two other fields - Adobe LiveCycle

How do I export data entered by a user in a dynamic PDF form? Is there a data format similar to FDF files in earlier versions of Acrobat?

Re: Calculating tax based on user input to check-box and displaying result. - Adobe LiveCycle

Thanks! I modified it to this: (and it works). The tax rate is a user entry.if ($ == 1) thenstateTax = stateTax + (unitPrice * quantity * stateTaxPercent / 100)elseif ($ ==0) thenstateTax = stateTax - (unitPrice * quantity * stateTaxPercent / 100)endifThanks again!

Re: Advice regarding form script to calculate running total - Adobe LiveCycle

I was planning to get the first row working properly and then just cloning the following rows (6 in all) and then giving unique identifiers to Qty., Unit Price, and Total. Seems very cumbersome, which is why I thought it might be a good idea to get advice regarding my intended direction first.What would be slick is the ability to generate rows as needed (which is what I think you are hinting at with subforms) with a limit of no more than six instances.I really appreciate your feedback and advice...
