To export all parts of this document to PDF the \SpecialChar LaTeX

If it is not installed you can export the document anyway but the example in the section about dynamic form elements will not appear in the output.
\series bold
insdljs.sty

As the name suggests,
the style files of the bundle produce pdf files which will work correctly

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
By loading the module PDF

You can add all possible form elements like text fields buttons etc.
This document describes how this is done.

If the form data should be submitted to a server or the like,
then you must specify the URL as parameter of the

Parameters

For example in this document the following was inserted to the parameter inset:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\series bold

\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This sends the form data as email to

when the user presses the submit button.
The email subject will be
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

\begin_inset Quotes erd

Form elements
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There are 6
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
possible elements in a PDF form:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Text field
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A text field is added by inserting the custom inset
\family sans
TextField
\family default
using the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Custom
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
Insets
\family default
.
Write inside the inset the label for the text field that will be printed in the PDF output before the field.
Here is an example:
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex TextField
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Argument 1
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
name=customer
\end_layout
\end_inset
Enter your name here:
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You must also specify a name for text fields.
To do this set the cursor into its
\family sans
Params
\family default
inset and insert the parameter
\series bold
name=customer
\series default
(where
\series bold
customer
\series default
is the field name).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Using the same name for several text fields results in an automatic duplication of the inserted text.
This is for example useful if the user should input a date that should appear at different places in the form.
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
Here are 2
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
fields as example:
Fill one and see that the other one will be filled automatically when you click outside of the field:

inset.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Choice menu
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A choice menu is added by inserting the custom inset
\family sans
ChoiceMenu
\family default
.
A label for the inset is added by using the menu
\family sans
Insert\SpecialChar menuseparator
Label
\family default
.
The different choices are inserted to the inset as comma-separated list.
There are 3
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
choice menu types:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Radio Only one choice can be selected
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Combo The choices are listed in a combo box (dropdown list) but the user is allowed to input something that is not in the predefined list.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Description
Popdown All choices are listed below each other.
If the menu is not high enough a scroll bar is automatically added.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
To determine the choice menu type one uses the parameter
\series bold
radio
\series default
,
\series bold
combo
\series default
or
\series bold
popdown
\series default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here is an example for the radio type:
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex ChoiceMenu
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Argument 1

\begin_inset Argument 2
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Country:
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Here is an example for the popdown type:
\begin_inset VSpace defskip
\end_inset
\begin_inset Newline newline
\end_inset
\begin_inset Flex ChoiceMenu
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Argument 1
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
popdown,

\end_layout
\end_inset
Albania=Al,
Armenia=Ar,
Azerbaidschan=Az
\begin_inset Argument 2
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
Country:
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
You must also specify a name for choice menus.
Insert for example the parameter
\series bold
name=country
\series default
(where
\series bold
country
\series default
is the name) into the
\family sans
Params
\family default
inset.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
It is recommended to add a short name for every choice to be able to access them and to know which one was chosen by the user.
This is done by adding
\series bold
=name
\series default
behind each choice (where
\series bold
name
\series default
is the choice name).
For example the radio type example contains this choice list:
\series bold
male=m,
female=f
\series default
.
If the user chose
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
male
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
you know that he chose the choice
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
m
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
.
With the name you can also preset/propose e.g.
\begin_inset space \space{}
\end_inset
the choice
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
male
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
by adding the parameter
\series bold
default=m
\series default
.
Here is an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex ChoiceMenu
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Argument 1
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
radio,
name=sex,

female=f
\begin_inset Argument 2

\begin_layout Plain Layout
Sex:
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Push button
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A push button is added by inserting the custom inset
\family sans
PushButton
\family default
.
Write inside the inset the label for the button.
Here is an example:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Flex PushButton
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\begin_inset Argument 1
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
\end_layout
\end_inset
Don't click on this button or your fridge will be destroyed!!!
\end_layout
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The action that is triggered by pressing the button is specified by JavaScript code.
To do this,
add the parameter
\series bold
onclick={}
\series default
and insert the JavaScript code between the braces.
For info about JavaScript,
see its documentation,
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A submit button is used to submit the form data to a server.
It is added by inserting the custom inset

\begin_layout Standard
The submit button creates a forms data format (FDF) file (file extension *.fdf) which is then submitted.
The FDF file contains only the form data.
They can later only be applied to a PDF form if all elements in the form have a name.

The PDF viewers
\emph on

can handle all possible actions while other PDF viewers might only support some of them.
However,
all PDF viewers support the basic things like printing,

Action button customization

\begin_layout Standard
Customizing the action buttons requires the usage of boxes because things like the width,
height and border separation cannot be specified as button parameters.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The easiest way to customize the buttons is to fill it with a custom box.
For example the button should be 5
\begin_inset space \thinspace{}
\end_inset
cm wide and have the height of 2
\begin_inset space ~
\end_inset
lines.
Then create this parbox:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Box Frameless
position "c"
hor_pos "c"
has_inner_box 1
inner_pos "c"
use_parbox 1

height_special "totalheight"
