JavaScript - Scripts For Auto-populating In Acrobat Forms
Hello. I would like text fields in an Adobe form to auto-populate when an item from a combo box list is selected. For example, if a user selects "shirt," then a set of text fields will auto-populate with the budget figures for a "shirt." I am not familiar with JavaScript. Would anyone be willing to explain the first steps in the project described above? Is there a way I could adapt previously-used scripts and insert my own information?
Thank you in advance for your guidance. Similar TutorialsHi all, I am trying to find out if it's possible to auto populate a text input based on the value of another. e.g. there is an input called name.. the user completes this and enters something like John, then in the same form there is another input called username. Once the person enters John in the name field, the username automatically displays John. I'm not sure how doable this is, I'm not very familar with Javascript, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Greens85 I want to remove special characters in form fields. It should be automatic. I have a name filed where user entering text and i not want special characters, it should remove automatic. something like this i need, Code: onkeyup="javascript:this.value=this.value.replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');" here, all non-digits get removed automatic. Need help. Hello; I have been trying to find files referenced in Acrobat 9 Pro help regarding using javascript in PDF files. I am waiting or Adobe to send me a link I can use to change my password for their forums. Meanwhile, does anyone have good links to these references? Thanks so much JK I've not done anything with JavaScript before, so I'm not sure what syntax error I'm committing. I have a form made in Acrobat 9 for the Mac, and on it there is a "submit via email" button. I want the resulting email, which will contain the filled out Acrobat form as an attachment, to use field from the form to populate the subject line and the CC address field. I've bodgered together some code from this Acrobat user's post, but in trying to customize it, my script has fallen apart. I think it should be a simple fix, but since I'm so new, I can't see it. My script so far is: Code: // This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "fogharty@xxx.xxx";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("Teacheremail").value;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "this.getField("CourseNumber").value;
+ "corrections form submitted by " +
+ this.getField("TeacherName").value;
var cBody = "\n Thank you for submitting your form.\n" +
"Save the mail attachment for your own records";
// Send the form data as an PDF attachment on an e-mail
this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr,
cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
So I would like the subject line to read (CourseNumber) corrections form submitted by (TeacherName) Acrobat tells me I have a "SyntaxError: missing ; before statement 11: at line 12" but no matter how I tweak it, I keep getting that message. I put the semi-colon in, I take the semi-colon out, I put the semi-colon back in and shake it all about.... nothing. Any help someone could give me will be greatly appreciated, thanks Oh, and would there be a way to have the sent pdf form have it's name from a couple of fields as well? So that the attached file will be called "(CourseNumber).pdf"? Hi guys how is everybody doing today? Let me get right to the point. I have a 28 page PDF document. It is the paperwork for an eviction in Orange County Fl. My goal is change it to a PDF file that will ask pertinent information and then use that info to fill out the forms and print required pages. An expert coder on the Adobe site said this is not as simple as it sounds the offered to do it for 50 bucks. I dont see why this would be so complicated. Code: I used to know a little bit about HTML and PHP. This process would seem very straightforward if it was one of those codes. This is not the correct code I know but it would go something like this: I would create the very first initiation page this page would ask all the pertinent questions to fill out all the variables in the entire document. Plantif First Name =* Pfirstname$ Plantif last name = Plastname$ Plantif Street =....... Ect This page would also have qualifying variables as in: Does the renter owe you rent? If yes are you concerned about receiving owed rent? does the rent or have children? Are they the type of renter that will fight this in court? Has the rental property been damaged? Ect.... these will have yes or no check mark boxes Then the script would do its work and insert the variables. Insert < Pfirstname$ > Insert < Plastname$ > Insert <*** ect....******** > Then according to the qualifying questions it would only print certain page numbers. So in a nutshell variables, insertions, qualifiers, print. This all seems very straightforward. With just a little bit of help I should be able to write it myself don't you think? His response was its not that simple I want to use variables, I know each variable has to have a unique name. Is there anything else more involved about variable script code. What I'm getting at is the code should be about the same for every variable just named differently, correct? I also understand certain structure must be established for this code to work correctly. Once these structures are in place. Isn't most most of remaining work copy, paste, rename and connect it to the existing code structure. The insertion of the variables should be about the same create structure, copy, paste, rename and connect it to the existing code structure. Can someone respond with the basic code structure, variable code, and insertion code for this. If it is not this easy please explain why? Is possible to call cgi scripts from javascript scripts?
I'm using the autofill forms plugin for firefox which can be found he https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4775 I use it to automatically fill various web forms, duh. But I would like certain values to be chosend randomly from a list I create. I contacted the developer and he said the add on probably does not need a new feature because there is a 'dynamic tags' function to fill certain forms with dynamic values (e.g. the current time or date). He has given over the project to another developer and told me I probably would find a solution in a good javascript programming forum. So here I am! Can anyone help me with this? Basically, I just need a javascript code which chooses on item from an array randomly, I guess? I'm not a programmer myself, so any help would be greatly (!) appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance for any further guidance! Note: Here are sample dynamic tags from the plugin: <datetime> new Date().toLocaleString() <useragent> navigator.userAgent <langcode> navigator.language <resolution> screen.width+'x'+screen.height <clipboard> this.getClipboardText() Hi, Iam trying a simple fill listbox on the body load, but its not working.

Thanks I am fairly new at Javascript, but there is something happening I do not understand. Please someone explain it to me and help with a solution. In the function, I pull data from an URL and I have done this with several different data fields and populate the HTML input, option, and check boxes with no problem with the following method. Code: document.getElementById("othertxt").value=strValue;
document.getElementById("radsig").checked=true;
document.getElementById("eventtime").value=strValue;
But for some reason this method for textarea does not work and I know that there is a value in strValue because check it right before the line of code. Code: document.getElementById("othertxt").value=strValue;
Is textarea just treated differently? I have searched the internet and seen examples but for some reason I can not find the correct solution. Hi Guys, I am trying to populate a textarea using a dropdown menu. The code I have tried doesn't seem to work, can anyone help? Code: <script type="text/javascript">function updateTextBox(val)
{
if(val == "1")
{
document.forms['myForm'].elements['myTextBox'].value = "something";
}
else if(val == "2")
{
document.forms['myForm'].elements['myTextBox'].value = "something else";
}
}
</script>
<form name="myForm">
<select onchange='updateTextBox(val)'>
<option></option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>
Changing this drop down should change this text area....
<textarea name="myTextBox"></textarea>
</form>

I want to have an input text on the top of the page that when I type in a series of numbers and hit submit, it populates the rest of the form. Does anyone have any idea what I need to perform this action?
Hi all, I have a problem here with my coding. I want to have three levels combo box. However the second level is not populating the values, therefore the third level cannot be populated also. I have attcached my codes here. Pls have a look and tell me where is my error. Thanks, Breentha I am having a hard time figuring this out, I have two simple arrays and I want to populate one by asking a visitor to enter information, it goes something like this... Code: var country = new Array(5);
c_list[0] = "USA";
c_list[1] = "UK";
c_list[2] = "France";
c_list[3] = "Germany";
c_list[4] = "Spain";
var president = new Array(); // Last name only
president[0] = window.prompt("President of USA?", ""); // Obama
president[1] = window.prompt("Prime Minister of UK?", ""); // Brown
president[2] = window.prompt("President of France?", ""); // Sarkozy
president[3] = window.prompt("Prime Minister of Germany?", ""); // Merkel
president[4] = window.prompt("President of Spain?", ""); // Zapatero
Now the question is, how do I use a simple for loop to use the names entered and populate the second array? Any help would be very kindly appreciated. Thank you I need to pull a date from a database that is already in the correct format of YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and create a javascript new Date() so that it can be used for comparing time elapsed. I have no issue with getting the date from the db and formatting it correctly but when inserted into new Date() it doesn't work. I have it working hard coded in the javascript but would like to replace the date with a value from a database instead of having it hard coded. current javascript is: var today=new Date(); var then=(new Date(2012,03,09,12,00,00,00); var mSeconds=today.getTime()-then.getTime(); what I would like to do: var today=new Date(); var then=(new Date(<?php echo $tou; ?>); var mSeconds=today.getTime()-then.getTime(); $tou is already formatted as 2012,03,09,12,00,00,00 with commas all other variables being pulled from the db work correctly. Hi I've been working on a listbox full of employees for our company intranet. Each name has an onchange tag that calls up a floor map and that part works fine but I'd really like to populate the names from an XML list so it's easier for non-IT people to maintain. I've been doing alot of web searches on the subject which comes up alot but it's mostly just fragments of what I need being that I've got no javascript background. I found a helpful tutorial on javascriptkit but that wasn't for creating listboxes so I'm only part of the way there. This is the XML file I've got (there will eventually be 400 entries): <?xml version="1.0"?> <list> <employee> <name>##########</name> <office>1656</office> <officePH>(403)000-0000</officePH> <mobile>N/A</mobile> <email>##########</email> </employee> <employee> <name>#########</name> <office>1657</office> <officePH>(403)000-0000</officePH> <mobile>N/A</mobile> <email>###########</email> </employee> </list> The most important parts are the name which will be used as the text of the box and the office number which will determine which floorplan is displayed. I added the other information so I can potentially put it in a div display later but that can wait. Can anyone help point me to some good resources on this subject? Thanks. Hello, I don't know if this can be done in Javascript, or requires any other language but i was wondering if this would be possible. I would like to embed this Javascript code in to a PHP file and then for it to run automatically upon the PHP file loading: Code: <td class="smallDesc"> <a name="fb_share" type="button_count" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script> </td> The Javascirpt is the Facebook Share button that basically allows users that have Facebook to share the page there currently on in their Facebook status by pressing the button, but if there not logged in it shows the login page, not a problem just continue the script. The current button i which is what i want to load automatically in the PHP file is located here, to test the functionalilty just click "Share" button in blue.. http://watch-movies-online.anyfilman...-Movie-17.html To summarise, i would like the above Javascript code to execute automatically upon pageload of this PHP file.. http://www.watch-movies-online.anyfi...p://google.com. If that could be done, and if this also is possible.. i would like for the "Share" button on the external page that is loaded from the Javascript code above to be clicked automatically so in effect when ever someone visits the PHP page after clicking "Click Here to Watch/Stream 2012 Online For Free" on this page it will automatically load the Facebook Share box, and automatically click the "Share" Button and then close the page if possible, but not required. Please feel free to ask any questions, i'll be happy to answer. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Jonathan. Hello. I have a problem here I have this menu: Code: <script language="JavaScript">
