Donna BakerOct 19, 2007

It's interesting how often we perform the same tasks over and over, without realizing there's a better way to do it. Sure, it takes time to find a solution and then unlearn your previous work habits, but it is well worth the effort.

Thom ParkerOct 19, 2007

Automating the creation and placement of Markup Annotations on a PDF with Acrobat JavaScript is very similar to automating the creation and placement of form fields.

Disabling (graying-out) Form Fields

Thom ParkerSep 20, 2007

Disabling, or graying-out, form fields is a common feature in software applications, but is somehow missing from Acrobat and LiveCycle forms. About the closest you can get with built-in features is either hiding a field or setting it to read-only. Each of these is useful in its own way, but neither is satisfactory for the situation where the user needs to see options only available under certain circumstances.

Programming List and Combo fields in Acrobat and LiveCycle forms - Part 1

Thom ParkerSep 18, 2007

There are times when entries in a Combo box or List field need to be changed on the fly. For example, a parts order form might include two drop-down lists (combo fields); one for selecting an assembly and one for selecting a part within the assembly. Each time a different assembly is selected, the list of parts needs to be changed to reflect the correct assembly parts for that selection.
