Re: Getting both date and time fields to autopopulate upon opening PDF

It's exactly the same, only you use a different date format string. Something like this should work:

 

var dateField = this.getField("CurrentDate");

var timeField = this.getField("CurrentTime");

 

if (dateField.value=="") dateField.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

if (timeField.value=="") timeField.value = util.printd("HH:MM", new Date());

 

Embed this script at the doc-level and it will populate these fields with the current date and time when the file is opened, if they were previously empty.


Re: "Phantom" field cannot be deleted; preventing submission of form

First, thank you for the response!

 

I can click on it in Forms Edit with no problem, but it can't be deleted. I click on the field and it is highlighted in blue to show I have it selected, and I can then PICK "Delete" and click on it, but it doesn't do anything; the blue highlight goes away, but the field is still there. If I'm not in Forms Edit mode (if I'm just in Content Editing), I can't even see it. It's not set to hidden, locked, or anything like that. Like I said, I wouldn't care if it was there or not, since it won't be visible to the end user, but it seems to prevent me from making the form submittable.

 

I would attach the PDF for review if that would help, but it doesn't look like I can do that. I've never used the Adobe forums before, so maybe I'm just not seeing it.

Linking Multiple Form Fields

So, I've found some discussion about this online, but most of it not very helpfull. What I am trying to do is have two separate text fields be connected so when one of them is full, the text automatically picks up on the next. I didn't see any standard settings for this, but I assume there must at least be a way to do it with java. If someone knows a code or setting that can accomplish this, I would be extatic.

Is there a way to have the picture take the whole space of the button rather than just put it in the middle?

Yes, go to the button's Properties, Options, Advanced, and select the Fit to Bounds option.

Validate multiple signatures on one document

I want to send out meeting minutes MinutesSignatures.jpgto be signed by 3 different people. I made a digital signed validation signature account for myself many ago -- so mine is set up. But I'm at a loss as to how to establish the account for the other two signatories.

 

Using Acrobat Pro 10

Thank you. One question as I don't know much about javascript at all.

When go to Tools > Javascript > Document Javascript, the dialog box asks me to name the script, which I did--called it DateTime, and it gives me this text:

 

function DateTime ()

{

}

 

Exactly between which things do I paste the script you gave me?

I tried a couple of placements, but it kept telling me I needed a parenthesis before part of it.

Remove everything in the window that opens (the function definition) and

paste my code instead of it.

right hand side-> (Tools |sign| comment)  choose tools

you will then see: content editing|pages|interactive objects|forms|action wizard|  Etc etc  choose forms

Under forms choose Edit

 

 

If rights were extended to reader, you will be unable to edit content

Digital Signatures- either disable reader abilities or any other work around

I am fairly new to acrobat

 

I have designed a form that uses a JavaScript that looks at individual fields to verify if the information is good. I also require two signatures along with these correctly entered fields before I consider the form "good to go"

 

(If the form is missing something, my form validation JavaScript will population the value of a text box with the list of which fields are bad.  The warning goes away when everything is good)

 

I can’t find the correct property in JavaScript that reference if the digital signature field is signed or not, so I put in the signed event JavaScript that locks the field when signed.

 

In my form validation script, I check to see if that digital signature field is locked- if so- then they must have signed it.

 

 

Here is where I am running into trouble:

 

After rights are extended to reader (my users will use reader to fill out this pdf)

It’s possible for the user to sign it, (locking the field) and then clear the digital signature (but the locked field tells my validation script its “okay”)

Locking the field does not stop someone from clearing it, which is not good.

Also, someone using reader can add a digital signature on top of where I want them to sign it- and my validation script doesn’t know about this, so it won’t remove the warning if they add their own signature.

 

How do I:

((Find the javascript property to know if a particular digital signature field is signed.)

OR

(Find a way to not allow the user to clear their signed signature))

AND

(Stop the user from adding their own digital signature field to the form?)

 

Thank you.

Sorry, one more thing. I tested and it works, but it looks like I will actually need the date and time to populate the fields each time the generic file is opened, otherwise, it only works once.

Can you send me a script that will work that way/

var dateField = this.getField("CurrentDate");

var timeField = this.getField("CurrentTime");

dateField.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

timeField.value = util.printd("HH:MM", new Date());

Thanks, this works just fine as long as they don't come back to me wanting AM and PM.

That's easily done, by the way...

Captions - Is there a way to add form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI similar to LiveCycle?

I lost LiveCycle in the CreativeCloud transition and form field captions were easy. Is there an easy way to make form field captions in Acrobat Pro XI? Or do I just need to create separate caption fields for each field? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...

good to know. I'll let you know if I need that.

Thanks again for all your help.

Okay, I give up on creating digital signatures. People can simply enter their name in the form field and return it to me -- these are all interoffice communiques.

 

I sent the form to myself, opened it, filled out the two fields, hit the submit button and received it successfully.

 

The two other people I'm seeking to fill out the fields are saying they're getting an "autoreply that states it didn’t go through," after they fill in their name and then hit the submit button.

 

Again, it successfully submitted when I tested it out.Untitled-1.jpg

Question:

Before the upgrade to Acrobat 10, we had to "enable" a form to allow people to fill out the fields and then hit the submit button. "Enable" is what allowed the end user to fill out the form field and submit. I don't see that option in 10. Is that the problem I'm having with this form? How is this achieved?
