Can't paste text into an Infopath form and see it with print preview

Posted By: Posted Date: September 13, 2010 Points: 0 Category :SharePoint

I have a user who says that they can't view any of their text that they cut and paste into the fields of a form when they choose Print Preview, in the forms library. They're using IE8 to access the SharePoint site. When I access the same form in the same library from any browser from my computer, I can view pasted text in any field when I click Print Preview. Anyone see this before and can help me?? Thanks!

How to read a column of a sharepoint list to a text string field of infopath form?

My infopath form used to read these email addresses from a web service and web.config file. Now i would like to get these user email addresses from a contact list in a sharepoint server. I am trying to do this without writing any codes. Here is what i have done so far: 1. Adding a new "data connection to receive data from SharePoint library or List" where i selected Email Address column of the contact list. 2. I added a new Text Field and define a new rule with "Query using a data connection" defined above. When i try to access the newly created Text field above it always return empty as if the Query attached to it did not executed at all. What did i do wrong? Is there a better way? Thank you in advance for your help.

Print Form View and expanding text fields?

The form i'm editing has a small text field with a scroll bar that users enter quite a bit of data. I'm wondering how to create a print view for the form that will expand that field to match the size of the content text. Does that make sense?

Infopath browser form - odd behaviour on auto expanding multi line text boxes

Hi,

I have a browser form with a multi line text box. The height is set to be AUTO. Within the client all is fine. When opened as an administrator approved form the text box automatically adds a new line for every 20 characters you type.

So if you type 40 characters without pressing enter you get 2 blank lines appear under you text that you CANNOT remove.

I have tested this on a new form with various multi line text boxes. The width setting is unimportant, the spell check setting is unimportant.

If i fix the height then the issue goes away but this is not any good.

I cannot use rich text boxes as i have around 40 text boxes on the form and if they are rich text they take around 10 minutes to load in the browser (this is another issue i have)

Thanks in advance

InfoPath Form and Multi-line Text box

Hi,

I'm using a multi-line textbox in my infopath form, the text scorlls when user enter texts that exceed the width/height of the text box, thats fine. But after user submits the form, the textbox just dsiplays one line of text with with "..." at the end and user needs to use "End" key or drag the text using the mouse key to see the remaining text. We want to display all the text that user entered instead of "...". What setting needs to be done in the inforpath forms.

Also I wanted to know if there is any known issue using Rich Text field in Infopath form with SharePoint InfoPath service.

Thanks in advace,

Q: How to print out background color in InfoPath 2007 browser form under MOSS form service?

Hi InfoPath experts,

I am trying to print out a custom InfoPath 2007 browser form using "Print View" function offered by MOSS Form Service. It seems like the all background color formats has been stripped out when printed out. Interestingly, only font colors are remain the same in printed-out.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I know you can change the settings: http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/infopath-help/print-background-colors-and-pictures-HP001095710.aspx , but it only applies for InfoPath Client Form, not browser-based Form!

Any help are appreciated!

Infopath browser form - Digital Signature resized in print view

Hi,

I have an Infopath browser based form that I have a digital sig on. When the user signs it (Valid Signature - Signed by) the font size is small and is acceptable for use in the form. Howvever, when I go to "Print View" it resizes to a larger font. I do not want this as I am trying to fit the form to one page. I altered the font in the signing section in the Print View in Infopath to no avail. Looking at the Manifest file, I cannot locate the code where it determines the font size. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron

Printing: Preview and Print from Your Windows Forms App with the .NET Printing Namespace

Printing is an integral part of every complete Windows-based application. Providing robust printing capabilities in these applications has often proved to be a tedious chore. Now, printing from Windows Forms with the .NET Framework means you must adopt a document-centric approach, resulting in cleaner and more manageable code. While the System.Windows.Forms namespace provides seamless integration with all the standard print dialogs (such as Print Preview, Page Setup, and Print), the System.Drawing.Printing namespace offers numerous classes for extensibility and customization. These classes, and how they provide access to printing capabilities, are covered here. Other useful techniques, such as printing in the background to allow the user to continue other tasks, is also explained.

Using Infopath form fieldnames in a workflow fails

Hi,

I designed a form in Infopath and I published it on a SP2007 server to use in a workflow in a library. That goes fine. In the workflow I send an email message. I can use the fields from my Infopath form in the message that I create.
If the workfow is starts, Shrepoints sends me the message. But it does not use the fields from my InfoPtah form in the message in stead I see questionmarks.

Why doesn't it show the fields?

I alse saw (maybe this makes it clear) that when I let it dipslay the URL in the message, it show: http://1.portal.lucasonderwijs, but the actual site is whithout the "1" and it should also start with https://

Has anyone seen this before?

Thank you,

InfoPath Workflow Task Form "Loading" event handler only being called after App Pool recycled.

I have a Workflow that is using an InfoPath task form. In the "FormEvents_Loading" method event handler I have some code that needs to run each time the form is opened. I recycle the App Pool and open the form the code runs perfectly, but if I close and try to re-open the form the code is not run at all. I can then recycle the App Pool again and on the next load the code executes just fine. The code that is supposed to be run is a very simple statement to set a field value, so I don't think it is interfering.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Thanks,

Problems moving an InfoPath form from a DEV system to QA environment

We developed an InfoPath form using a local DEV environment. The site collection under which the form was developed was http://server1/.

We are now attempting to deploy this form to a TEST environment that uses a slightly different structure for the collection, namely http://server2/sites/sitecol1.

In both cases the site that contains the form is /fin (so we were using http://server1/fin in DEV and want to use http://server2/sites/sitecol1/fin in TEST).

The form contains VBA code and so requires admin-based deployment via Central Administration, so to deploy to TEST we:

1. Publish the form against the TEST server using InfoPath Designer

2. Upload the form using Central Administration > Application Managment > Manage Form Templates

3. After upload, we activate the form for the site collection http://server2/sites/sitecol1/

4. The form is then associated with a Form Library

When we try to create an instance of the form within this library we get the following error when we click on New to create the form instance:

The following location is not accessible, because it is in a differ

Infopath cannot load this form. Either the signature is corrupted, or the certificatie used to sign

Hello:

I have a whole bunch of forms contains errors like whenever you try to open it up.

Infopath cannot load this form. Either the signature is corrupted, or the certificatie used to sign this form is expired or revoked.

The forms were orginally created with digital signature with it. But we were in the middle of transition from one company to another company. The digital signature was no longer valid. Actually, the certificate should have been expired by now. I removed all the signatures for all of the forms. So they can continue using the forms to fill in the information. The problem right now, is trying to open the old forms with digital signature on it. Not only the company has changed. We also moved sharepoint from the old server to the new server.

Any idea to resolve th

Insert image into Infopath form and save to SharePoint as PDF file

I have an InfoPath web-enabled form in MOSS 2007, that is integrated with a K2 blackpoint process for an approval workflow.

Once the form (a Purchase Order request form) has been approved in the K2 workflow process, I switch the form view to a "print-friendly" view for the requestor to view from the browser. However, now I need to go one step further with this scenario:

1) I need to somehow insert/embed an image with the scanned-in signature of the approver (likely stored in a SP doc library) at the signature line section of my form. Also, what are the security requirements for storing such images, but not granting all users access to these (e.g. only services accounts that need to access this for embedding into the form, etc.)?

2) Then I need to convert this final "print-friendly" view of the form (with the signature image) to a PDF document so that I can store it in SharePoint (and email it to the requestor using K2's email event capabilities).

Can anyone help me with a solution to both of these requirement, or point me to some resources for this (even 3rd party components are open-game).

thanks!
