Re: PDF forms controls

[Dave Fisher]

Hi Craig,

It has been 20 years since I generated Acrobat Forms. I did it with Postscript 
and Distiller (or what is now Ghostscript).

Two thoughts.

(1) Try dev@openoffice where the developer of the pdf feature might be hanging 
out - IIRC.

(2) Try dev@pdfbox where someone may know how to help you find this at the 
“cos” level. You might need the pdf reference manual.

Also there is no guarantee that all PDF viewers fully implement every attribute 
in the Forms / Ecmascript.

(Or contact me offline tomorrow and we’ll see if I can find out what’s up.)

Regards,
Dave

When opening the document with Safari, Preview, Firefox, or Chrome, the cursor 
is not positioned in any of the input fields. With Safari, when clicking inside 
a field, there is a regular text word highlighted in blue. With Preview, no 
highlighting. With Chrome, no highlighting. With Firefox, no highlighting.

Can anyone give me the right terminology for the highlighted blue box

Both documents works fine on my Windows PC using Acrobat Reader and Foxit PDF
It even works fine on my iPad using Acrobat and Foxit Mobile.

Yes, the documents "work". I'm looking for the ability to

1. Have the cursor positioned in the first entry field when opening the document


The first time you press the Tab key it moves to the first entry field, 
that said this doesn't mean the the first entry field
is the same as the first field in the document. Tab order is maintained 
with the Form properties select the triple dots
at the right side of the General tab where you can move up and down the 
fields.




2. Have control over the word or phrase in the document that is highlighted 
when the cursor is in a specific field.


If there is text in a box pressing the Tab key will highlight all text 
in that box. So you're not in control, but the PDF software.


Note that when you enter Help text in the Form properties it will 
display this text in the PDF field when you hover over your mouse.




Thanks,

Craig

Thanks, this one works now. In terms of users, the English dictionary

the most recent releases of other extensions. A convenient way to find 
them is the https://twitter.com/aooextensions Twitter feed.


For example, https://t.co/sZTK7wwASJ and https://t.co/HV0HdhJLGR (listed

guess it's just a matter of moving them to the right place now.

Thank you for your reply/comments.  I understand and do appreciate

I am aware that there are possibilities that two, or more, bowlers may 
have the same numerical game score.  I am a beginner at this, and I 
try to chew one part of the problem at a time.  My plan is to apply 
other criterion to handle duplicate/triplicate numerical scores; 
perhaps the bowlers' total pin fall or the frequency of his/her name 
appearing within the ordered pair of bowling game score and correlated 
bowlers' name, will serve as the tie breaker when identifying the team 
roster. This will require additional thinking on my part.


FYI:    OKay; here is a wider view of this "project" (please forgive 
me BrianB.):


Each Feb and Mar, a number of Veterans Administration facilities

Tournament (see

and 
http://www.bowlforveterans.org/bvl-programs/bvlva-annual-veterans-bowling-tournament/tournament-score-sheet/). 
I am one of several bowlers that are representing the VA Medical 
Center at Northport, NY. Ultimately, the topmost 45 bowling scores 
from a five man team(s) that represents the Northport NY VAMC will be 
summed. The result of that summation shall be submitted, via an online 
score, sheet to the tournament administrators.  If/when a team places 
1st, 2nd, or 3rd, nationally, an award is given to each member of the 
five-man team.

VinceB.


For sake of accuracy, the next to last sentenced in my last paragraph above
The result of that summation shall be submitted, via an online score, 
sheet to the tournament administrators. 

should be changed to read as follows:
The official summation is accomplished by the BVL administrators by 
using the data that is provided by the Northport VAMC staff via the

Download the version you require from www.openoffice.org/download/ selecting 
from the dropdowns on the selection bar.  You will be taken to a nearby 
Sourceforge server and your download will start in about 5 seconds.  Do not 
click on anything but the message (if hhere is one) that asks permission to 
save the file on your computer.

Then go to your Download directory and double click the downloaded file to 
cause it to install.  I cannot tell you what administrative permissions you 
will need, as I do not use Windows.

Re: Need Formula to use with Results of LARGE( ) Function's Result- Lookup?

[WA.TWORSX via AOL]

Martin:

Thank you for your reply/comments.  I understand and do appreciate your 
frustration; especially since there are many absolute ($A$1)) references 
are, and must be, used.


I am aware that there are possibilities that two, or more, bowlers may 
have the same numerical game score.  I am a beginner at this, and I try 
to chew one part of the problem at a time.  My plan is to apply other 
criterion to handle duplicate/triplicate numerical scores; perhaps the 
bowlers' total pin fall or the frequency of his/her name appearing 
within the ordered pair of bowling game score and correlated bowlers' 
name, will serve as the tie breaker when identifying the team roster. 
This will require additional thinking on my part.


FYI:    OKay; here is a wider view of this "project" (please forgive me 
BrianB.):


Each Feb and Mar, a number of Veterans Administration facilities around 
the USA participate in what is called the BVL Annual Bowling Tournament 
(see 
http://www.bowlforveterans.org/annual-bvlva-bowling-tournament-set-march/ 
and 
http://www.bowlforveterans.org/bvl-programs/bvlva-annual-veterans-bowling-tournament/tournament-score-sheet/). 
I am one of several bowlers that are representing the VA Medical Center 
at Northport, NY. Ultimately, the topmost 45 bowling scores from a five 
man team(s) that represents the Northport NY VAMC will be summed. The 
result of that summation shall be submitted, via an online score, sheet 
to the tournament administrators.  If/when a team places 1st, 2nd, or 
3rd, nationally, an award is given to each member of the five-man team.


Regards,

VinceB.

Well I was looking at your problem straight from the first email you 
sent, and I'm half way with the solution.
The only problem I need to solve is what happens when two bowlers have 
the same score.
But it get frustrating when half way the investigation you send 
updates on your problem that doesn't solve anything.

Be patient.

Re: PDF forms controls

[Craig Russell]

Here is a link to a different document with the same issue. 

http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.pdf

When opening the document with Safari, Preview, Firefox, or Chrome, the cursor 
is not positioned in any of the input fields. With Safari, when clicking inside 
a field, there is a regular text word highlighted in blue. With Preview, no 
highlighting. With Chrome, no highlighting. With Firefox, no highlighting.

Can anyone give me the right terminology for the highlighted blue box 
associated with the input fields? Is this just a Safari feature?

Thanks,

Craig

The name "myscript" comes to mind as a program that read some handwritings.  I 
should say, however, that I haven't used that in about 15 years and it failed 
with my/my father's hand-writings, which were and are illegible.  If  one had a 
nice disciplined hand I have no doubt that such a program could be reasonably 
successful.  Another possibility, probably with a greater success rate, is 
voice transcription.

With such specialised programs, of either category, it is best to use the as 
stand alone programs and transfer their output files into the word processor of 
choice afterwards, which is a simple matter of /Insert /File.

You need a software that is able to do Optical Character Recognition on 
handwriting; try a search for "ocr software for handwriting".
