Is there a way to modify the schema-mapped XML that is generated by the submit action prior to submission?

I have a form created in LiveCycle ES2. I have mapped some fields to a schema that causes LC to generate XML that adheres to the import format of one of my company's internal databases.

There is one problem: the system's import function looks for a DTD DOCTYPE declaration between the XML declaration and root element. I've tried including the declaration in the schema, but LC does not include it in the mapped values or the export. I've spoken with the vendor about declaring the DTD as part of the import function and they have given a firm "No."

Is there a way to insert one line of markup into the XML that LC generates in the submit action before the XML is attached to the e-mail?

How to count ONLY fields with a specific value

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:56:03 GMT

I modified the code below from the API reference to count combobox fields with a value of "MT" so I could total the number of a specific choice the form user input.

var count = 0;

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)

{

var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i);

if ( this.getField(fname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(fname).value == "MT" ) count++;

}

this.getField("mTurb").value = count.value;

Here's the problem: I tried to use a similar script, modified only slightly from this form, in another total field to tally a different choice made with comboboxes and the script continues to tally the first choice. An example of one of the modified versions of the script is below.

var gcount = 0;

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++)

{

var gname = this.getNthFieldName(i);

if ( this.getField(gname).type == "combobox" && this.getField(gname).value == "MT" ) gcount++;

}

this.getField("gPack").value = gcount.value;

I suspect I'm just missing something painfully obvious to seasoned scripters, but I can't seem to figure it out and I need this script to be able to count the number of 9 different options in the comboboxes.

Conditionally Required Fields

Basics -

Running LC ES 8.2 and Acrobat 9 Pro and using Acrobat for this form.

Novice/Beginner in JavaScripting as a whole, especially as pertains to PDFs

Situation -
Trying to set up a form wherein a field is required if one option from a combo box is selected and to either be optional or removed otherwise.

I've been trying "if ... else" statements without any luck. The field (AbortRchgSA/#8) is set as Visible and not required by default. The combo box (Mode/#16) is a required field. My attempts have taken two forms.

Form 1:

var f = this.getField("Mode").value;

if (f = SA)

{var g = this.getField("AbortRchgSA");

g.required = true;}

Form 2:

if (this.Field.Mode.value == SA)

this.getField(“AbortRchgSA”) = required;

else

this.removeField(“AbortRchgSA”);

Any and all help is welcome.
