Subject: Re: Creating pdf forms template
It works or at least I managed to type some text into the text box. I made a
couple of changes to the text which I think makes it a bit more idiomatic in
English (see attached. I hope you don't mind.
I spent what seemed like forever installing the blasted insdljs.sty and it
worked.
For those having the same problem in Ubuntu I
1) created a texmf folder at root level following these directions
http://nmv.stat.cmu.edu/2012/06/14/managing-latex-packages-manually-in-ubuntu-12-04/
and then following instructions from
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8886
2. cd'd to the texmf/tex/latex/acrotex directory
3. ran sudo texhash
4 ran latex acrotex.ins
Reconfigured LyX and everything ran nicely.
Dear John
Thanks for your reply and your idiomatic suggestions. Now I notice that it must
be told in the document that for make it to work the AcroTeX package must be
instaled also (it contains the insdljs.sty file), this specific package allows
javascript code inside a pdf, so you can manage actions like (onselect,
onkeypress, etc). It is also part of MikTeX if you run this on Windows so this
should works on every platform.
The problem is that if you just put
{this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=false;}
it works in one way, but when you uncheck the box the linked text field should
become uneditable and empty. For this I expect that the code
{this.getField("Escuelat").readonly=!this.getField("Escuelac").checked;
this.getField("Escuelat").value="";}
shall do the job, but it isn´t. I even made this as a function, but nothing
happened. The rest of the objects work very nice but this kind of behaviour is
critical for the next step of creating action buttons.
Regards
Alex

Someone please help me to set this to work. I think this is a first step to make a good template and if we manage to obtain an impresive one and people starts using it then it should be a feature request to support form creation natively in LyX, hopely as a new toolbox. What do you think about this? Please don´t feel offended by my (bad) english, I really make my best effort to translate it. Regards Alex pdf-forms-en1.lyx Description: application/lyx

How is it possible to change timeout? And another one: If I click on accidentally 'view' document, how can I stop the process? (In case of complex documents the process can be several minutes and during this time I can not view other documents.) Thanks, bcsikos
Disable or modify timeout for pdflatex?
Dear LyX users, I have a small problem with LyX (version 2.0.5.1 on Windows 7 64Bit) to which I was unable to find an answer. I am writing my Ph.D. thesis with LyX. The document has grown quite large with lots of figures, references and equations. If I try to create a .pdf of the whole document using pdflatex a message appears several times which says: The command pdflatex -synctex=-1 "Thesis.tex" has not yet completed. Do you want to stop it? I have to click "Let it run" several times to complete the document. It is really annoying. However, it only happens if I create the whole document. The individual chapters can be created without this message appearing. Thus, I think it is a timeout and has something to do with the size of the document. Is it possible to increase or even disable the timeout for pdflatex? Best wishes, Christian
