[Smwg] CCSDS RID Form - Beta testing requested.

Tue Jun 11 15:27:48 UTC 2019

Hi John,
                 yes I've noticed that can occur in Reader. If the "Fields 
highlight color" in the Forms section of Preferences in Reader is set to 
something other than white or gray the effect is to change the apparent 
colour of the field until you actually enter the field. There doesn't seem 
to be a way (or at least I haven't managed to find it) that allows you to 
set the highlight colour in the Form Definition. Maybe need to add a note 
in the Form Instructions.

Anyway thanks to everyone for the testing and feedback, With the exception 
of the minor glitch noted by John above there have been no issues reported 
(even on a Mac !).

Cheers for now,

Colin

Colin,
I?m using Adobe Acrobat Pro/Windows 7. At least on my screen, when I look 
at the form the colors don?t conform to your color code. However, they *do
* conform once the cursor has been placed in a field. The fields that are 
supposed to be pink and light blue are mauve, and the fields that are 
supposed to be green are light blue:

Having experimented with this and knowing what the right answer is, I can 
personally correct for this. But it might be confusing to others. Perhaps 
you could also preface the names of the mandatory field with ?*? (e.g., 
*SUBMITTING ORGANIZATION), optional with ?-? (-SUPPORTING ANALYSIS), and 
prohibited with some other character (e.g., #DISPOSITION) and add those 
?definitions? to the instructions.

Best regards,
John

Dear all, 
                 attached is a revised version of the prototype RID form. 
This should work with recent versions of Acrobat Reader. Hopefully the 
instructions in the form will be self explanatory. I'd be grateful if you 
could spent a few minutes "playing" with the form and let me know if you 
find any issues or have any comments. 

You will notice that when you delete a RID, it is replaced by a page 
stating "RID Deleted"., this is because when you insert a form page the 
fields on it are named based on the page number, however if you delete a 
page the existing fields on the pages after the deleted page are not 
renamed. The document however now contains 1 page less and so if you then 
insert a new RID you end up with duplicate filed names which has 
interesting consequences. As far as I can tell (bearing in mind I am by no 
means an Adobe/Java Script whizzkid) there is no straightforward way to 
work round this, hence the approach of just entering a page stating "RID 
Deleted.". This keeps the page count the same so there are no duplicate 
field names. 

The issue with merging files of RIDs into one using Adobe Acrobat or 
similar tools is essentially the same - it leads to duplicate field names. 

Anyway any feedback gratefully received, especially for non-Windows 
platforms as I've only tested on my Windows 10 laptop using Acrobat Reader 
2017. 

Cheers for now, 

Colin
