Is it feasible to write code that loops through a table in a form? I'm currently writing separate sections of code for each row of a five-row table to validate data entries.

Hi,I am trying to get text, that has been placed near the end of a page, to break to a new page, but I cannot get this to work.I have a Subform, called FOOTER_TEXTS and containing 3 text fields, just below and outside of the 'MAIN' Content Area and just above a fixed (static) Subform called COMPANY_FOOTER.The JavaScript that you see is just there to ensure that FOOTER_TEXTS gets printed only on the last page.I have all 3 text fields in FOOTER_TEXTS set to 'Allow Multiple lines' and the height is set to 'Expand to fit' but the option to 'Allow Page Breaks within Content' is greyed-out in the Subform and all 3 Text Fields, resulting in the text in Subform COMPANY_FOOTER being overwritten.What I would like is the text from the 3 fields in FOOTER_TEXTS to be printed on the bottom of the last page, just above the Subform COMPANY_FOOTER, and I would like the text to break to another page, if necessary.Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this to work?Thank you in advance.Kieron KellyS

I have googled and searched the forms for days for an answer, but have been unsucessful.Since the only thread I found is a year old, I wanted to start a new one instead of bumping the old oneRef : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3000436I am looking for a script to sort the data in a form based on user input.The form is just a table with multiple rows and 3-5 colums (depending on the dept it is used by)Using the above referenced thread, I was able to get static table to sort, but i need to have all fields be text fields and the users inputs the data.The example from the other thread of the static:I will use the same layout, just need it to be a form instead of static.If anyone can help, or point me in the right direction, that would be great.Update #1:I did locate this page:http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Sorting_tables_in_dynamic_PDF-18993.htmlI got the sort to work and it appears to be mostly what I am looking for, but how do i deal with blank field??Example, the last three rows are b

I am creating a form for the Engineering Department. The end users need to be able to insert a GDT symbol into a textfield sentence. The sentence uses standard font (Myriad Pro) but the GDT symbol uses the GDT font. Is there a script I could attach to a checkbox that when checked, would allow the user to enter a GDT font symbol but that would not change the font on the text that has already been entered? Then after the GDT symbol has been entered, the user would need to switch back to the standard font again to continue the sentence.Thanks for any help you can provide me.-Don

Am posting new info on a topic I posted in the wrong category (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/873889?tstart=0) in the hopes that moving it to correct category and providing new info will help.  My form has a value field, and based on the values, radio buttons would be checked accordingly.  The below working code is set as JavaScript on the calculate event of the radio box in question.  All is well so far, it works fine.The next step am trying to accomplish is that there is another radio box where they would check the Type - A, B or C.  Except for a Type B, the below is in effect.  However, if Type B is selected, regardless of value below, the classification should ALWAYS be set to "1".  So a value of 1,000,000 AND marked as Type B would be classification 1, for example. I believe the address of the radio group I need to test against is:form1.sfrmMain.sfrmMainSub1.sfrmMain2.tbMainInfo.Row4[8].sfrmIdeaCAT.rType.rawValue;But when I try to set a variable in below to use it in the code, it

Hi Folks,           I get a great help from this forum and i follow very frequently. This time i have a question regarding Tables, how to manipulate fields in a table using JavaScript. The requirement is as follows, I have a Table (100rows x 3columns) and few of them are hidden from layout. The first column contains the text values such as sequential numbers, (the first column is visual index, 1, 2, ,3 ... 100). Now, i am trying to write a script which, replaces or overrides the first column values in text boxes to spaces. Can you guys help me out if making a script? or provide me some resources where i can manipulate table fields using JavaScript?Thanks in advance.

I know this may be a novice question, but can someone please explain when/why xfa.resolveNode is used form design? Is it a form of shorthand to keep from referencing a parent subform?Thanks in advance

I have a JDBC call to grab some data including a date/time stamp.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to convert that string to a proper date/time field.  It's important because I need to use validation strings to present a more simplified date/time to users on a form.  But I'd like to keep the original date/time so I can reinsert it into a SQL db at the end.  I created a test process so I can watch the progress. input string = '2010/08/18 16:41:23'Expression = parse-dateTime-withFormat (/process_data/@datestring,"yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss","en","US","WIN","CDT") Result = August 18, 2010 9:41:23 PM GMT Then I try to put that value into a date field and I get the error:: Invalid ISO8601 DateTime:August 18, 2010 9:41:23 PM GMT:java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "August 18, 2010 9:41:23 PM GMT"I've tried like 100 different variations to map into a date/time object with the same result.  I can use the parse-dateTime or parse-dateTime-withFormat functions all day long but I can'

I have a form that has five fields in it.  One of the fields can require multiple lines to exist and when it is printed you can't use a scroll bar.That field has "Allow multiple Lines" checked.  Just to get it to work, all the rest do as well.  Of course, that didn't work anyway.  This subform that can repeat has a node "RepeatingData" that has a node "Repeating" which has the five fields that can repeat.  I can't see any property on either containing node to allow it to dynamically grow.Any ideas?

I have a client who won't allow JavaScript in their forms for security reasons.  I'm trying to convert the JS I've used to work with FormCalc instead, but I don't have much experience with FC and I'm stuck at the first hurdle.I want to display the current and total pages in the master page and I've changed the generated code to use FormCalc and changed to use the dollar reference, but the form doesn't render the current page number.Here's the code return.#pageSet[0].Restricted.CurrentPageNumber::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)//Doesn't work, even though it's copied from the reference materialthis.rawValue = xfa.layout.page($)// also tried$ = xfa.layout.page($) return.#pageSet[0].Restricted.NumberofPages::ready:layout - (FormCalc, client)//Worksthis.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount()Any and all help would be really appreciated

I've created a dynamic PDF form that contains a table. The table overflows perfectly onto the next page when enough rows are added, but I would like both the title leader and the table header row to be repeated on each page. Is this possible?

I have a dynamic table inside the PDF form. I want to loop through the table rows and read the cell contents. I successfully get the rows count in the table. But can't read the values from the cells. I have put editable TextField (txtName) control in each cell and trying to read its value.screenshot is below.Code I am using is: form1.Page1.Subform1.btnReadTable::click - (JavaScript, client)var rowCount = MyTable._Row1.count;app.alert("Row Count: " + rowCount);var i = 0;for(i=0 ; i<rowCount ; i++){    //app.alert(MyTable.Row1[i].txtName.rawValue); // NOT WORKING        app.alert(MyTable.Row1.txtName.rawValue); // WORKING, But just giving the value for the first row.}Please tell me how can I get the value of each name in every row by looping.Thanks in advance.-Abhinav

HI,I am using a dropdown to allow the form user to say whether or not he wants to see a subform.When I test this, here's the sequence I experience:1. Initial form opens and the subform is hidden and excluded from the layout. This is good...as intended. I am seeing subforms 1 and 3.2. I choose to display the hidden form. It appears. Also good and as intended. I am seeing subforms 1, 2, and 3.3. I choose to hide the subform. It goes away, but it leaves behind a blank page...a big gap...before the next subform. I am seeing subform 1...then a blank page...then subform 3.I am using "hidden" in my code. I do not understand why the form does not reflow properly.Many thanks,Joe

Hi there,I need help, desperately.I made a form using Desinger ES2, and set its target version to 9.1 or later.  When it is rendered in the browser/standalone with Reader Version 9.0, it would pop out "Invalid enumerated value: validationState", twice... I do a version check in the form's formReady event, it hides the entire form if version is not >= 9.1, and also pops up a message box telling the user that they do not have the latest Reader and should update or the form would not display/function properly.  BUT our client is still not happy with the sollution and complains about seeing this popup when they load it in 9.0.I need help getting rid of this popup in version 9.0 please.Regards,Nelson Wei
