I have created a huge button covering my whole PDF file. I want to fill it in white if the necessary fields in the PDF form are not filled in.(This is to prevent people from skipping required fields. My javascript code is listed below. I have initially filled in the button using Adobe Acrobat Pro, I am then trying to remove the button if the "year" field is completed.
var aNames = ["year"];
var bComplete = true;
var cValue ="";
for(i=0;i<aNames.length;i++){
cValue=this.getField(aNames[i]).value;
if(cValue==this.getField(aNames[i]).defaultValue){
bComplete=false;
}
}
if(bComplete==true){
document.getElementById("Button1").remove();
}else {
app.alert("Please complete form",0,0);
}
This looks very much like influenced by webbrowser JavaScript…
The first issue is the button; if it covers the document, how can you fill the form (or does it cover subsequent pages?).
About the JavaScript, you do not need to create an array of field names, you know the fields directly, so you can address them directly, without having to loop, as in:
if (this.getField("myYear").value != this.getField("myYear").defaultValue)
Of course, if you have a bunch of such fields, it may be an idea to create a document-level array of the field names.
Next, you won't remove the button field, but you simply hide it, as in:
this.getField("myCoverButton").display = display.hidden ;
It might be a good idea to have a look at the Acrobat JavaScript documentation, which is part of the Acrobat SDK, downloadable from the Adobe website.

I am the opposite of a code monkey, so please forgive me if this is a simple solution. I have searched and searched and though I've found possible code examples, cannot find any information on how to fix the issue.
I've created a form-fillable PDF. I have fields that calculate based on inputs. I have a dropdown box that auto-populates some of the numbers (to add to the manual inputs). All of these work great!
I thought I would get fancy and further fill some of my data in the form. This is where the problems get funky.
I am setting the fields as shown, but those numbers can no longer be modified afterward.
this.getField("RanksPsy").value = psy;
this.getField("RanksBlade").value = blde;
this.getField("RanksBrawl").value = brwl;
this.getField("RanksCou").value = cou;
this.getField("RanksDip").value = dip;
I have buttons to increase/decrease the Ranks... fields, but the dropdown locks them and I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Is there another way to set those fields without using this.getField?
Thank you.
If I'm honest, I didn't understand the question well 😅
I don't recognize the getField function, so I decided to google it and found a RAD PDF documentation, so I'm assuming that's the library you're using to do this.
As that documentation states,
getFunction gets the first PDF form field object in the loaded
PdfWebControl document with a given name.
And this is the example provided, it may help.
var field = myApi.getField("Test Name");
if(field) {
//set its name to "New Name"
field.setProperties( {"name" : "New Name"} );
}
The solution to this is to put the script as an 'on blur' event rather than a keystroke event. It writes the data and then leaves it alone, which is exactly what I was looking for.
Does anyone have experience with javascript in Adobe Acrobat DC?
I am trying and making dynamic stamps, and with the help of various guides and tutorials, I can solve what I want with one input field.
It looks like this:
var cAsk = "Anvises til udbetaling";
var cTitle = "ATU"
if(event.source.forReal &&
(event.source.stampName == "#stamp1"))
{
event.value = app.response(cAsk, cTitle);
}
The above provoke a javascript popup with an input field that you can type in, and it will appear on the stamp.
My problem is for multiple input fields, so I would like all inputs to be filled in in the same popup, instead of each input having its own popup as is the case with the javascript inserted in pastebin.
It's easier annoying when you have seven fields to fill in, then you meet seven popups followed by each other. instead of just being able to fill in the seven fields in the same popup :)
You would use the app.execDialog function. You can have multiple text fields, check boxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, listboxes, etc. It's not easy but you can read about it here.
Type 'execDialog' in the search field.
So, I am working on a PDF form for workplace use, the idea is for the employee to fill his information and send it to me by e-mail. I've coded a simple "clear form" button in adobe javascript, so the technitian filling the form wouldn't need to close it and open it every time he gets to a new employee. The problem is: the technitian is using a tablet, and both of them need to sign the form, using the tablet's pen, I used the "Fill and Sign" feature, because it's the only way I see of doing it, the problem is: my "clear form" button does not work for it, it can't remove the signature, I've tried a lot of code but nothing seems to work, this is my current "clear button" code:
//Clears all the fields on the form
this.resetForm();
this.getField("start").readonly = false;
this.getField("end").readonly = false;
this.getField("Date1").readonly = false;
this.getField("Date2").readonly = false;
this.getField("Send").enabled = enabled.true;
this.getField("Send").display = display.visible;
How can I make it work? Is it possible?
I was able to clear signature field by defining of signature field name within function resetForm.
this.resetForm(["SignatureFieldName"]);
I have no experience with web programming, so my question would be a very simple one. I want to download a lot of files by filling out forms in a web page. The web page's extension is .aspx, and I am interested in only one field and a button. By fooling around with the console in my browser, I figured out that executing:
document.getElementById('TxtRegNo').value = 'blahblah`;
will fill the concerned field. Also doing a
__doPostBack("ImageButton1","Click");
will download the .pdf file curresponding to blahblah. The actual value which needs to be entered is a sequence like PAG-1200 to PAG-1900. I tried using a for loop, like this:
for (var i = 21618; i < 21621; i++)
{
document.getElementById('TxtRegNo').value = 'B14-' + i;
__doPostBack("ImageButton1","Click");
}
but it doesnot work as expected. only the last document gets downloaded, and I get this in the console:
Thought this error does not come whe nI run in FireFox's console, I can still run only one file. Could anyone tell me how to do this?
Try this:
Inject jQuery to the page via the console, as explained here: Include jQuery in the JavaScript Console
In your for loop clone the form, set the values as you wish and submit the form jQuery('form').clone().find('#TxtRegNo').val('blah').parent('form').submit();
If the page contains more than one form, you should specify it. 'form' works like css selectors here. This will find all forms on the page. Just use '#elementId' or '.elementsClassName' to be more concrete, if necessary.
Maybe you also need to change the name of the form (to be able to submit the forms simulatiously). I didn't try it, this is just a guess.
If you want to split the code to several lines you can also do this:
var myFormClone = jQuery('form').clone();
myFormClone.find('#TxtRegNo').val('blah');
myFormClone.attr('name', 'uniquename_' + iterationVariableOfForLoop);
myFormClone.submit();
If the submit failes, try:
myFormClone.get(0).submit();
Good luck!
I already have code which is given below
var input = document.getElementById("documentlink");
input.style.color = "blue";
input.style.textDecoration = "underline";
input.onclick = function () {
if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("documentlink").getValue() != null)
window.open(Xrm.Page.getAttribute("documentlink").getValue());
}
but the problem here is I cannot use html DOM since it can become an issue in upgradation as custom code validation tool identifies textDecoration as an issue.
I cannot make that text box format to URL as that gives absolute URL and I am not allowed to change the types of existing fields.
If there is any method to do this then please help.
Yes, There are a lot of ways to accomplish your goal:
You can add ribbon button by clicking on which url would be opened.
You can create your custom html webresource what can store/read information in/from your field and has required formatting. Shortly about development of Html/Js webresources and embedding it to your crm form you can read here - http://a33ik.blogspot.com/2015/03/howto-htmljs-webresources.html
