Acrobat Reader is not properly displaying dynamic drop down when LiveCycle does

I have a sample file that loads a drop down menu from an xml file. This form works fine in the preview pane of LiveCycle. I see the values properly populated. When I attempt to load the same file with Acrobat Reader the drop down menu shows up empty. I have saved the document as a Dynamic PDF. This happens with both Reader 8.0 and 7.0 on two different machines. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a known issue?

How are you merging the data to the form before viewing in Reader? Using the Preview in Designer allows you to pass xml data when rendering the PDF but when you save out a PDF Form from Designer the data is not part of the form. And without Reader extending the form (or using Acrobat Pro) you have no way of pulling in the xml data so that the drop down can populate.

Lmstat not properly displaying users (linux)

Hi all,
A linux-based shake license server at our facility is not able to properly display current users. The lmstat command will show the licenses available, but not the current activity. This is for Shake v4.1 and v9.2 of the Globetrotter flexlm tools. Is this a known bug? Thanks in advance.

Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer

I get this error when trying to print from a website.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has not been installed on your computer.
You will be directed to a site where you can download
the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
But I already have reader installed and its up todate. HELP. I use a mac, This happens on Chrome and Firefox.
I have tried disabling and re abling the plugin. I disabled the default browser viewer. still cannot view the item to print.

Have you done ALL OF THIS?
In Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.

BI query not properly displaying in Consumer Portal - Through FPN - RRA

Hi Everyone,
we have implemented FPN between EP 7.0 and BI 7.0 . A role with BI reports (iview created using Bex7.0 template) are working fine in BI Portal.
When its RRA to a users in EP-consumer portal, its not coming properly. I mean it shows some default header/Menu (like New Analysis Open, Save As, Information, Send etc..) in EP but not displaying the details of the report. Other URL iviews are working fine in RRA, just BI query is not coming properly. All pre-requisite for FPN is done properly and SSO configured.
Appreciate if some one can provide a solution
Thanks

Why do TOC do not properly display levels,... even after I set them to?

All,
I am having a major hard time trying to get my TOCs to properly display levels. I have been doing research on the subject, but it seems any recommendations have proved futile.
The issue:
My ID docs TOC's do not display levels at all
I have pretty much tried everything. I have gone to simple styles for Chapters and Sub Chapters to see what the issue would be
Image:
Some Findings
One article I found which outlined ID having issues with inset text boxes
It seems setting an inset on text boxes with TOC content affects the display of such
I tried removing any insets but results still did not fix the issue i face
Questions
What the hell am i doing wrong?
Is this a bug in ID CS6?
Is there anything I should not be doing when formatting a style that will be used on the TOC?
Are there any "NO NOS" I should be aware of here?
I mean, the above image is a test i built using a bare bones approach. The "Chapters" and "Sub Heads" styles are truly basic formats. The only attributes to these styles is a change in font style and size:
Thank you to anyone who can help me on this.

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone for all your comments. To remove any possible conflicts, I did not apply any entry styles to the entries because i thought:
The TOC function generate levels independent of styles
Levels are automatically applied to any entry (TOC levels override everything else)
That levels override any styles one may apply to the entry
Basically, I do not need a style to create an indentation in my TOC. Levels create the indentation. (thus my example using the default ID Basic Paragraph Style)
Are the above assumptions wrong? If I am wrong, then are you guys saying I would need to create a TOC specific style denoting indentation for ever level?
IOWs, following my example:
Chapters = LV1 = Create a "TOC Paragraph Style X" that indents (say) 0pxs
Sub Heads = LV2 = Create another "TOC Paragraph Style Y" that indents (say) 20pxs
On the table of contents I would need to apply each their corresponding style in order to create TOC indents:
"Chapters" ---> TOC Paragraph Style X
"Sub Heads" ---> TOC Paragraph Style Y
If this is the fix, then I must say that this is a very cumbersome approach. (Hell, I would ask, why give me the levels option in the firts place in the TOC dialogue box!) If I have a book with a ton of levels, it will be pretty darn hard to manage so many styles.
PS: sorry I omitted one dialogue screen in my original post. Here is what I am doing.
Thanks again. I'm perplexed at this, but nevertheless thankful for all your shared insight.

Launch Acrobat Reader 8 not-maximized

I have a flex 3 app (not AIR) for which I am launching the
acrobat reader 8 with a pdf that the user selects from a tree
control. The code looks like....
var pdfUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://server/pdftest/1.pdf");
navigateToURL(pdfUrl,"_blank");
I have set the Internet options in the Adobe Acrobat Reader
to not launch in the browser. The problem is that every time the
reader launches it is maximized....is there a way to launch it so
that it is not maximized (even if it will use its last window size
would be good).
Thanks

Acrobat/Reader 9 were the first version to incorporate AES-256 code, so if you want to remain backwards compatible with Reader 7 or 8 you need to continue to use AES-128. I believe this is documented in the help for the section that describes how policy edit works.

How do I enable multiple dynamic drop down boxes?

I'm using Windows 2000, Java SDK 2 Standard, Tomcat, Apache, Microsoft Access and Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev 4.
With UltraDev I'm trying to create a jsp page that has more than one dynamic drop down box or more than one dynamic select list box. I can show one dynamic object and as many static objects as I need. But when I add a second dynamic drop down box, with a second recordset, the page will only display the first dynamic object and all content following that object will not display.

Here's the code:

Dynamic Drop-Down list in a table row or subform

Hi,
I need to display multiple drop-down list elements dynamically. Each of these DDLs will have different values.
For example:
The table will have 2 columns (Student Name text field and Courses drop-down)
Row 1: Student 1 & Courses of Student1 in DDL
Row 2: Student 2 & Courses of Student2 in DDL
When I execute my app, both the drop-downs (i.e. for both the students) are displaying all the courses of all the students. I tried a lot with binding options..
$record.Students[].Courses[]
is refering to all elements of the node. If I use the index 0 for Students node, I am getting 1st element rows.. if I use 1, I am getting 2nd element rows,,,
But How can I set the binding so that Row 1 has only Student 1 courses and Row 2 has Student 2 courses?
IS THERE A WAY TO DYNAMICALLY SET THE BINDING USING JAVASCRIPT?
I tried with tables, subforms.. it is not working. It is working fine in plain web dynpro table but not in an interactive form. I am using NW 2004s SP11, Web Dynpro Java. LiveCycle Designer 7.1, Adobe Reader 7.09.
There are some other posts talking about similar issue.. I tried the solutions mentioned there as well, but nothing worked.
I would really appreciate if any one can provide a solution or pointer to my problem.
Thanks
Ram

Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

How to populate data from dynamic drop down list to the text field

Hi,
I tried to populate data from dynamic drop down list to city field. I would like to concat data from drop down list.When selecting add button to add the item and select item from drop down list, data should be displayed in the text field. However, Please help. I spent alot of time to make it works I am not successful.
Please see the link below.

Thanks for your help

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

--urgent Can I use table data to create a dynamic drop down menu?

Hi,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table driven dynamic drop down menu? The deadline is tomorrow but I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not any clue. Can any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on?
Many thanks.
Jennifer

Thanks you very much for the help Kevin.
Currently my company is using htp.p style to create web app and using the dynamic menu in a similar way as you explained. Now they want to move to Apex and still keep dynamic menu functionality. After reading your response and research I have done I think I can embed it into Apex application by creating the similar table and PL/SQL package and let Apex to call the PL/SQL package when the application is first called. However may I ask you a question about how to call such pl/sql procedure in Apex? .
The current application has the following URL, from which the procedure pkg_main.print_menu is called and html home page with dynamic menu is displayed.
Http://app server:1234/pls/applicationname/pkg_main.print_menu?p_new_window=N
BUT what about the Apex? The Apex URL format is like the following, where 11563 and 1 is application id and page number. Assume that 1 is home page, but HOW the procedure is called, from WHERE?
