Help with Required Field dependant in Drop Down Selection

$
0
0

Hi there

 

I’ve got a slight quirk with a basic JavaScript...

 

I have a custom calculation script on a date field which is Required by default, but needs to become not Required if one of 2 choices (from a total of 7) is made from a preceding drop down menu.

 

The script on the date field to be dependantly Required currently is:

 

if (this.getField(“Choice”).value == “5” || value == “6”) {

    event.target.required = false;

}

else {

    event.target.required = true;

}

 

Now, the above DOES work, i.e. if a choice with the export value 5 or 6 is made the date field is no longer Required, however it will not change back to being Required if another option (export value 1,2,3 etc) is then selected.

 

However, the date field will correctly flick between Required or not Required if I modify the script to only be dependant on a single export value:

 

if (this.getField(“Choice”).value == “5”) {

    event.target.required = false;

}

else {

    event.target.required = true;

}

 

Is there something wrong with the way I have ‘5 or 6’ ??

 

Hope that makes sense and would massively appreciate a method to fix this!

I have created a form with a submit button that works fine for mail applications like Outlook, but when I attempt to send via web mail (yahoo mail) I get this:

an unknown error occurred while uploading the attachment etc.

 

I have searched the web and see several others with this problem dating back 2 years and more, but I see no successful solutions. I have tried the same solutions others were recommended and, like them, I got no results.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

How to require questions with Yes or No radio buttons be answered

$
0
0

 

I have created a form that includes two questions with Yes or No radio buttons for answers.  I would like to make them required so that the first question has to be answered before moving on to the next question.  Is there a way to do that?

 

Ex: Is the applicant is an individual?  Yes  or   No  (I have named this set of radio buttons "HMDA"). I don’t want people to tab through this question without answering it first.  Once it is answered I would like them to be directed to the next question which is "Is the applicant an entity?"  Yes   or   No (I have named this set of radio buttons "BeneficialOwner").

 

Thanks

 

Save PDF in local network with JavaScript

Good Morning

I need to know if the following can be done.
I have a PDF form, which collects various data and uses part of them to give a name to the final file, through a save button which is supported by a file that contains the mySaveAs function:

 

File saveForm.js in Acrobat\Javascripts:

 

mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction(function(doc,path) {

app.beginPriv();

doc.saveAs(path);

app.endPriv();

})

 

myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction(function(doc,path) {

app.beginPriv();

mySaveAs(doc,path);

app.endPriv();

});

 

Button Save in PDF form:

 

var dt = new Date();

var month = dt.getMonth()+1;

var day = dt.getDate();

var year = dt.getFullYear();

var myFileName = this.getField("text1").value +"-"+day+"-"+month+"-"+year+".pdf";

 

myFileName = "/c/test/" + myFileName

myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, myFileName);

app.alert("This Form ( "+myFileName+" ) has saved successfully to the following location: /C/test/" , 3);

 

The problem is in the following:

I want to distribute this form between mobile devices with Android operating system. These devices use the adobe reader version downloaded from google play store.

I need to know if there is any way, through javascript or any other method, that by pressing the save button, these pdfs, filled through the mobile devices, are stored in a network folder on a server.Is this possible ?

 

Thanks for any help!!

Adrian.

How do I access field properties to calculate from other fields in Acrobat Pro DC

$

Hello,

 

I am at an educational institution where we have a site-wide license to a suite of Adobe Apps. For Acrobat Pro DC, I have noticed that in the properties for a text field, the calculation tab (and corresponding functionality) is not there. In previous versions, the calculation tab was on the far right. It's not there now.

 

What's wrong?

 

How do I get access to this function so I can perform calculations based on other field values?

 

Do I need to purchase a different type of license?

 

Thank you for any help/direction with this.

Unable to use dot naming convention for form fields

$
0
0

When trying to create a form out of a pdf I run into the following errors:

 

When creating a field named "5.1" I am then unable to use the name for subfields such as "5.1.1" or "5.1.9".

 

The same issue occurs in the opposite direction. When creating subfields "6.1.3" or "6.1.9" I cannot create a field named "6.1"

 

In both scenarios I am receiving the inappropriate error message: "A field of a different type already uses this name. Please choose a new name for the field, or change the field type to match the existing field name." This error message is useless because there is clearly not another field of a different type with the same name, there is obviously another issue here.

 

Why would such a basic feature of this expensive software be broken? The field naming conventions were not set by me, but rather the government, so changing them due to some random adobe error will cause lots of confusion. Hopefully someone is aware of an option or workaround for this bug.

How to autofill Combo Box options based on the choice chosen in two other Combo Boxes.

$

Hello,

 

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC and making a pdf with multiple Combo Boxes where the choice on one will autofill the options on the next. Let me try to explain. I have (6) Combo Boxes.

Box1= Brand

Box2= Model

Box3= Sub Model

Box4= Size

Box5= Color

Box6= Lites

 

Box1 choice autofills Box2 options.

Box2 autofills Box3, Box4, & Box5 options.

Box3 & Box4 autofills Box6 options depending on what was chosen in Box3 & Box4.

 

What do i need to do in order to autofill Box6 options?

Field renaming as you go or bulk

I'm working on a form for a physician's practice which contains literally hundreds of Yes/No checkboxes and 40 choices boxes with Yes/No/N/A as choices.

I created the form initial in MS Word, and then used Acrobat DC to prepare the form. for checkboxes, I had hoped to create the first set (i.e., Checkbox1) and then copy it, assuming Acrobat would increment the field name to Checkbox2. I've discovered that is not the case, so I'm looking for help or advice as to how to approach this project. I don't really care if the field names are descriptive in terms of the form itself (i.e., in a drug allergies section, the list is Penicillin, sulfa, aspirin, etc., each with a yes/no checkbox). I plan to write a document that "translates" the forms fields to the form content.

 

I'm on windows 10 with CC 2018 and Acrobat DC.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hallo zusammen,

 

ich hoffe, ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen. Ich habe in Acrobat DC ein Formular entworfen. Hierbei sollen unterschiedliche Einzelbeträge addiert werden. Die Felder sind als Zahlenfelder mit € Symbol vorangestellt definiert. An meinem PC klappt das auch wunderbar. Versende ich das leere PDF an jemanden, damit er es ausfüllt, gehen die Summenformel verloren, ebenso das Zahlenformat (Währung).

 

Ich hoffe, ich drücke mich verständlich aus? Anbei Screenshots des Formularbereiches, um den es geht.

 

Vielen Dank vorab!

Hi,

 

I have an Acro form with two text fields (text1, text2)

I aim at one user to display text1 when mouse is over  text2 field.

Simply, I assign mouse enter/exit event, and it works normally.

But, when I change text1 to be read-only (because I don't want it to bee seen "highlighted" as a form field), I somehow lost the mouse action (enter/exit event).

Convert letter input to numerical value for calculation

$
0

Hello all,

I have started some online basic javascript classes to try to lessen the amount of simply questions I have but in the meantime, my fields guys had one request that I have been working on for a couple days now with no success. On our timesheet with days of the week where users input the hours they worked for the day. I currently am running a document level script and it is working great except some users would like to enter an "X" instead of a zero for the days they dont work. I believe there is a way to pull the value of the field and use an if/then statement but everything I have tried to date is not working or gives a NaN result. Because of it being a weekly calculation, there are multiple variables I am using so I wasnt sure if I was to run an if/then statement for each day or one time toward the end of the script. Below is my script and what I have tried to date. I know some scripts are still pulling the value as a number with the "+" but remember I was just trying to get the first one working.

 

function calcreg_total(){

 

// Get the field name array of the field that triggered this script

var fna = event.target.name.split(".");

 

// Get the row, which is the third element of the array

var row = fna[1]

 

// Get first field value,

var v1 = getField("mon1_str."+row).value;

if (v1 == X) event.value = 0,

else event.value = "";

 

 

// Get second field value,

var v2 = +getField("mon2_str."+row).value;

 

// Get third field value,

var v3 = +getField("tue1_str."+row).value;

 

// Get forth field value,

var v4 = +getField("tue2_str."+row).value;

 

// Get fifth field value,

var v5 = +getField("wed1_str."+row).value;

 

// Get sixth field value,

var v6 = +getField("wed2_str."+row).value;

 

// Get seventh field value,

var v7 = +getField("thur1_str."+row).value;

 

// Get eigth field value,

var v8 = +getField("thur2_str."+row).value;

 

// Get ninth field value,

var v9 = +getField("fri1_str."+row).value;

 

// Get tenth field value,

var v10 = +getField("fri2_str."+row).value;

 

// Calculate and set this field's value to the result

event.value = v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 + v5 + v6 + v7 + v8 + v9 + v10;

 

 

}

 

Also, I ran the console window using this script and got a 0 value when X was entered onto the sheet and a "false" value when any numerical value was entered. Thats as close as I got. Console script I was using was the following: if(getField("mon1_str.0").value == "X") {event.value = 0;} else {event.value == "";}

 

Thanks in advance,

Adam
