In adobe reader for % example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance % itself % \item Standards like pdf/A disable features of form fields too % (as you typically can't change the PDF). % \end{itemize} % \section{Choice fields} % % Choice fields are drop down menus or scrollable lists where % the user can select one or more entries. They can also contain a field where % users can insert a free text. The export value and the displayed value can differ. % Some values can be preselected. % % This means that various data will have to be set, and the sorting matters. % The module here will assume that the various values are stored in sequences: % % \begin{verbatim} % \seq_const_from_clist:Nn \c_my_values_seq {hippo,duck,bear} % \seq_const_from_clist:Nn \c_my_displayvalues_seq {Sieglinde,,Bär} % \seq_const_from_clist:Nn \c_my_defaultvalues_seq {duck,Bär} % \end{verbatim} % % Only the first sequence is required. % Empty values in the display sequence are possible, then the normal value is used. % % \subsection{Types} % Choice fields can be a drop down menu (called |Combo|), which can contain an editable % field. % % |setfieldflags={Combo,Edit}| or |setfieldflags={Combo}| % % If |Edit| is set, one can also set |DoNotSpellCheck|. % % Or they can be a list. % % |unsetfieldflags={Combo,Edit,DoNotSpellCheck}| % % % For both types it is possible to set or unset |MultiSelect| and |CommitOnSelChange|. % % % \subsection{Appearance} % By default the fields use a grey background as appearance, another appearance % can be defined with |\pdffield_appearance:nn| (described in the documentation of % l3pdffield) or directly with |\pdfxform_new:nnn| (in l3pdfxfom) % and then used with the |appearance| as in other form fields. % % % \subsection{Commands} % \begin{function}{\pdffield_choice:n} % \begin{syntax} % \cs{pdffield_choice:n}\Arg{key val list} % \end{syntax} % This creates a choice field. % The list of allowed keys is described below. % The \meta{key val list} should at least set the name, % without it the default |choice| is used. Choice fields with the same name % belong to the same field and if changed, the others are changed accordingly. % As default appearance we reuse the text appearance: a simple gray background. % % The first choice field setups the field and so should setup values and field flags. % \end{function} % % % \subsection{Keys} % % The new choice command accept all field and annot keys from l3pdffield. % A few keys are disabled or are forced to specific values. % The |appearance| keys have a ... % behaviour, other keys have other defaults than with the basic commands. % Additionally there % are a small number of keys specific to a choice field. % |value| and |default| have a special meaning. % % % Disabled keys are % \begin{itemize} % \item |V|, |DV|, |AS|: they are set by the other keys. % \item |FT| is overwritten. % \item For fields only the field flags |ReadOnly|, |Required|, |NoExport|, % |Combo|, |Edit|, |MultiSelect|, |Sort|, |DoNotSpellCheck| and |CommitOnSelChange| % make sense. The code will force some values (e.g. disable |Edit| if |Combo| is false). % \end{itemize} % % % \begin{function}{preset-choice} % \begin{syntax} % |preset-choice| = \Arg{key-val-list} % \end{syntax} % This allows to set default keys for a choice field. % \end{function} % \begin{function}{type} % \begin{syntax} % |type| = \texttt{combo}\verb+|+\texttt{combo-edit}\verb+|+\texttt{list} % \end{syntax} % This key is a choice key that allows to set the three types. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{name,T} % \begin{syntax} % |name| = \meta{partial name}\\ % |T| = \meta{partial name} % \end{syntax} % These keys set the partial name of the field. They both do the same % thing, use the one you are more comfortable with. The value % shouldn't contain a period, be not empty and sensibly consist of simple chars. % Additionally the value is used to create the field ID. % This means that choice field with the same partial name are annotations % with the same field as parent. % The field ID is then internal and can not be used to % attach another annotation. % For explicit control of the field ID use the |fieldID| key. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{value,values} % \begin{syntax} % |value| = \Arg{comma separated list of values} % |values| = \Arg{comma separated list of values} % \end{syntax} % With these keys you set the export value names. \meta{comma separated list of values} should contain % the values in the order as wanted. The values are passed through |\pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN| % and can use unicode. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{display-values} % \begin{syntax} % |display-values| = \Arg{comma separated list of values} % \end{syntax} % With this key you set the display value names if they should be % different from the export values. They should be given in the same order as the values. % The values are passed through |\pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN| % and can use unicode. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{default,default-values} % \begin{syntax} % |default| = \Arg{comma separated list of values} % |default-values| = \Arg{comma separated list of values} % \end{syntax} % With this keys you set the values which are selected when the PDF is opened. % The use of this keys is a bit dubious. It seems to work okay for combo fields, % but not for list fields. According to the PDF reference the % values should be the display values, but it is not clear if the PDF viewer % really implement it that way or if the export value should be preferred. % Depending on the values it could be needed to % add also an |I| array to the field. % \end{function} % \begin{function}{top-index} % \begin{syntax} % |top-index| = \Arg{integer} % \end{syntax} % With this key you set for a scrollable list field the number of the % value shown at the top. The first value has number 1 (that is the default). % I'm not sure if viewers handle this correctly, so the setting should be used with % care. % \end{function} % \begin{function}{fieldID} % \begin{syntax} % |fieldID| = \meta{field ID}\\ % \end{syntax} % \emph{For experts only!} % This allows to give the radio field a specific ID. This is only useful % in the context of a larger fieldset or if you want to attach another annotation % to the field with \cs{pdffield_annot:n}. If used wrongly you can % easily create invalid fieldset. It allows you to create to fields with the % same partial name, but if you want to see both % you need to ensure that their full names are % different---for example by adding some parent fields. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{parent} % \begin{syntax} % |parent| = \meta{field ID}\\ % \end{syntax} % This is only needed if the field should be part % of a larger fieldset. The value should be a field ID of a field created previously % with \cs{pdffield_field:nn}. % \end{function} % % % \begin{function}{width,height,depth} % \begin{syntax} % |width| = \meta{dim expression}\\ % |height| = \meta{dim expression}\\ % |depth| = \meta{dim expression} % \end{syntax} % These keys allow to set the dimensions of the choice field. % The value should be a dimension expression. By default % |width| and |height| and |depth| are .... % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{AP/N,appearance,AP/R,rollover-appearance,AP/D,down-appearance} % \begin{syntax} % |AP/N| = \meta{appearance name}\\ % |appearance| = \meta{appearance name}\\ % |AP/R| = \meta{appearance name}\\ % |rollover-appearance| = \meta{appearance name}\\ % |AP/D| = \meta{appearance name}\\ % |down-appearance| = \meta{appearance name} % \end{syntax} % This adds appearances. \meta{appearance name} should be the name of an form Xobjects. % The default normal appearance is a simple gray background, the same as with % text fields. % \end{function} % % The font are handled in a similar way as in textfield. Most of the remarks made there % are true for choice fields too. % % \begin{function}{fontcolor} % \begin{syntax} % |fontcolor| = \meta{color expression} \verb"|" [\meta{model}]\Arg{values}\\ % \end{syntax} % This is sets the color of font in the textfield. Internally currently RGB is used. % The colors used in % \meta{color expression} must be known to the \pkg{l3color} commands. % The initial color is black. It is a \emph{field} setting, that means instances % share the color. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{fontsize} % \begin{syntax} % |fontsize| = \meta{dim expression} % \end{syntax} % This is sets the size of the font in the textfield. % The default value is the current font size (\cs{f@size} in pt). % It is a \emph{field} setting, that means instances % share the size. % \end{function} % % \begin{function}{font} % \begin{syntax} % |font| = \meta{symbolic font name} % \end{syntax} % This is sets the font in the textfield.
