Printing Completed Forms and repeating ref fields
in [Document Management]
|
Prev: how can I get envelopes to print on the correct side
Next: Is there a way to lock the size of a text field on a from?
From: AJeske on 9 Apr 2010 12:48 I created a proposal that uses text that needs to be repeated; however, once I place the ref fields in and protected the form, the ref. fields don't automatically update with the the bookmark, it only seems to work when the form is unprotected. The next problem I have is after filling in the completed protected form, I want to create a pdf; however, when I create the pdf, all the fields I populated go back to empty, what am I doing wrong?

From: Graham Mayor on 10 Apr 2010 01:55 In that case are the ref fields in the document header/footer or in text boxes? REF fields that are not in the document layer will not be automatically updated. You would need to force an update. The update macro used as an example at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm when run from a toolbar button or on exit from a form field will work in most circumstances, but occasionbally some areas of the document may need to be addressed separately. As this adds to the complexity and speed of running the macro I would prefer to cross that bridge if we come to it.
