Dear Rainer

This discussion was made in both user and developers lists because my 
questions has two purposes: 1. to have a working example of forms in lyx and 
2. To make developers realize that a toolbox for form design should be made 
for native support for this inside lyx (as you can see my example is full of 
ERT code)

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=5t=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.

Creating pdf forms template

2013-03-21 Thread Alex Vergara Gil 
Hello Lyxers!

In the lasts days I was learning how to create PDF forms using LyX. But this 
process require a few javascript knowledge. I´ve tried my best to translate to 
english the attached template (an improvement of previous in spanish) in which 
you will see that objects are actually created but the scripts doesn´t behave 
as I expect. 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

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.

Subject: Creating pdf forms template
 

 
Hello Lyxers!
 
In the lasts days I was learning how to create PDF 
forms using LyX. But this process require a few javascript knowledge. I´ve 
tried 
my best to translate to english the attached template (an improvement of 
previous in spanish) in which you will see that objects are actually created 
but 
the scripts doesn´t behave as I expect. 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

  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=5t=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.
