Custom Library 'Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Fields'

Hello,
I'm just reading through the document 'creating_workflows.pdf' of Workflow 7.0. In the chapter about designing forms for workflow it says that the custom library is available with the SDK, however I was not able to locate the library. There are also some workflow fields in Adobe Designer 7.0, but I think they are for older workflow versions, because the field names don't match the ones in the documentation ('creating_workflows.pdf'). Can somebody help me locate the library or tell me which fields to use for my forms?
Thanks!
Regards, Karin Garreis

Hi Karin
The library is actually in a file called Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Field.xfo which is part of the Workflow SDK. You will find it in:
\LiveCycleWorkflow7_SDK\Misc
See:
Mike J. Potter, "Adobe LiveCycle Workflow 7.0 SDK (38.3 M file)" #5, 20 Sep 2005 12:48 pm for info on how to get the SDK.
In order to install this library, you need to create a new Group in the library palette, and then add this file to the directory that gets automatically created to hold this group. The usual location for new groups is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Designer 7.0\EN\objects\[grpname]
I hope this helps...

Adobe livecycle workflow and SAP workflow

dear all,
 i am working in a new development project which is yet to be started.according to my client's description,the project deals with adobe forms with SAP as backend.
 i have studied and worked for one month on adobe livecycle forms and i have some knowledge about its products.but i didnt work on any SAP system.my doubt is that
 "WE HAVE ADOBE LIVECYCLE WORKFLOW IN THE WHOLE SUITE OF LIVECYCLE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS,WHICH CAN BE USEFUL TO BUILD WORKFLOWS AND IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES WITH THE HELP OF BAM.BUT WHEN ADOBE FORMS AND ADOBE FORMS MANAGER ARE INTEGRATED IN SAP..WILL THE ADOBE WORKFLOW BE PRESENT AGAIN?OR IS IT GOING TO BE THE SAP WORKFLOW WHICH DEFINES THE BUSINESS PROCESSES AND INITIATES THE PROCESSES?? ALSO IF IT IS SAP WORKFLOW THEN WHAT IS THE NEED OF INTEGRATING ADOBE WITH SAP WITHOUT ADOBE LIVECYLE WORKFLOW.??
 i am looking forward for any answers from ppl.plzz help me out from this doubt.
 regards..
 raghava kumar v.s.s.

Hi Raghava,
correct, there are currently no plans to integrate Forms Manager into SAP although we have no alternative solution within SAP, i.e. you'd have to build something like Forms Manager for your purposes.
To get a general overview on the SAP integration, start here: <a href="http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms">http://sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms</a>
You need NetWeaver, because the Adobe functions are part of it. Web Dynpro is one of the environments that have Adobe forms functions integrated, it is the most suitable one for interactive scenarios.
We may have a different idea of what SAP is. To me, SAP comprises the business data in the ERP/CRM/etc. system and the technology components such as NetWeaver etc. Perhaps that's the misunderstanding.
Best,
Markus

Adobe LiveCycle Access Field in Subform inside Master Page

Hello,
I have a Dynamic PDF document created in LiveCycle 8.2 with the following structure
topmostSubform
          (Master Pages)
                  Page1
                        sfHeader
                               txtName
When I try to assign the value, using C# language, to the txtName I'm getting a null exception.
It looks that my code can't recognize the hierarchy structure.
I tried the following options and none of them worked
topmostSubform[0].#pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
Any advise will be truly appreciated!
Thank you.

Thank a lot for your help!

Send Email QPAC in Adobe Livecycle Workflow.

I am trying to send email. This email have information
1. Email name.
2. Subject.
3. Body data.

Hi Madhu
If you want to send it from the PDF file itself (rather than from a workflow), you should:
1. Reader-enable the form (or open it in Acrobat)
2. Create a regular button (not an Email button)
3. Change type to "Submit"
4. On submit tab, Format=PDF, URL=mailto:[email protected]

Adobe livecycle comb fields caching

Hello,
I have created a subform where info will be added into comb/text fields.
The problem that I'm having is that the comb fields are caching the previous entries.
Is there a setting that I can use in the design mode (or elsewhere) that will cause the text/comb fields not to cache?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
It's been a while since you posted this message, but I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you found a solution for it?

DateTime field in forms using Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Everyone,
Iv'e created a custom report and has difficulty in formatting the DateTime fields where I wanted to show "EST" timezone but the report is setting it to "GMT". I'm not sure where to configure the timezone in Adobe LiveCycle when the data that I'm using already has an EST timezone. This is the pattern that I'm using date{MMM D, YYYY} time{h:MM:SS A Z}. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 floating fields

We have several PDF templates for our customers. We created an editable text field with a lot of default content in it. The customer is able to modify this content.
Is it possible to add floating fields in a Text Field? (in the object - value - default). I know it is possible to add floating fields into a Text label but as far as I know it is impossible to edit Text labels in the PDF template.
Any advice/information would be nice!

Hi,
I have same issue mentioned below. Any idea on how it can be resolved in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
We use iText as well to generate pdf from forms created through live cycle designer.

Extension fields in forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and SAP Cloud Application Studio.

Hello everyone,
I am new to using SAP Cloud Application Studio and am currently working on forms.
I have created some extension fields in the dunning letter form message type : FormDunning Notification.
Upon activating, the extension fields do show up in backend form data type structure.
However i am unable to find the fields in the front end form under Form Template Maintenance.
I have tried opening form with open editor as well as downloading template and opening in Adobe LiveCycle Designer .
After creating the data connection in adobe ,the first field (ProjNumDun ) do appear in correct place in data view.But i cant find the rest of the fields.
Any help,guidance and suggestion will be really appriciated.
Thanking in advance,
Kamakshi

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

Add a New Control in Adobe LiveCycle designer

Hi
I want to have a calculated field in the form based on values of 2 other fields.Now i can easily write a java script for the same and do it.
But what i want is to create a control in the designer such that i just do some drag drop or a choose add function for the calculated field.
Now since this is not provided in the form designer can i write such a control and embed it in the form designer .
This control could be local to my installed Adobe Livecycledesigner.
This is just one eg , there are several things for which i dont want to write the java script again and again and just use a function which will do it for me.
Also i am posting it here as i could not post in the Adobe Livecycledesigner 7.x due to authorization error.
Thanks and Regards

Read/write xml data from/to adobe livecycle forms (pdf)

Hello,
I need some help reading xml data from pdfs created by Adobe LiveCycle and also writing xml data back to the form.
The forms have been created using PROD LC 8.2 and in the future they will be created using PROD LC 9.5.
I am using Visual Basic .NET to access the data programatically.
Can anyone help me with some hints? A library, SDK? Any information would be very helpful.
I am quite new with this Electronic Forms issue and I do not even know where to start.
Thank you,
Ionel

Hi lonel,
Do you want an online solution?
I mean, it follows this workflow:
1. The user will open the PDF by clicking a link, and a server-side program will generate the PDF and prepopulate it with data from some data sources, and render the PDF to the client (Browser),
2. The user will fill the PDF.
3. The user will click a Submit button and save the PDF and Data on the server.
4. If the user wants to edit the Submitted Form, he will click a link to open the save PDF and possibly prepopulate some fields with data from other data sources, and complete the cycle of filling and saved the PDF and Data on the server.
5. While the user is filling the PDF (inside a Browser), there might be a need to perform some lookup on the server, and update the form parts accordingly as a result of the lookup process.
For 1-4 above, I have developed a complete base library using ASP.NET which helps you to perform the above.
You can goto my Google Workspace and you will find a bunch of documents, sample PDFs, collections and VB Classes. To best view them, login using some Google Account.
For point 4 above, one way to perform this effect, is to regenerate the required XML Data (which has the saved data before and the new lookup data), remerge the entire XML result with and empty PDF Form, and render the XFA (PDF Form) back to the client. But, if the PDF has one or more signatures, it will not work. So, in this case, you can update the Form Fields of a Saved PDF Form with new Data from the server, but the net effect is that you will have to loose all the signatures that were added on the PDF before.
For 5 (above) there are 3 methods:
1. Using a Web Service as a Data Connection. This is very easy if you have a traditional Web Service. I have used this method several times and will use it again if the need be. But, there is a problem. If the result of the Web Service is an Array of some Data, and you want to remerge the XFA to get the required effect after executing the web service ... and ... if there are some Drop-Down-List (DDL) fields, the bindings of the DDL Items of those fields will be lost. But, you can rebuild them (on enter event of the DDL Field) if you have saved them in the embedded XML Data.
2. You can update few (not many) fields while the PDF is opened (under the Browser via IFRAME) by passing the new field values using the URL Query String method. I have not done this, but I like this method, and I think it is cool. You need to write a server side code to ensure the the new filed values are passed back to the client using the correct URL with the Query String, and you need to write some javascript code inside the PDF to parse the URL and get the new field values and update them accordingly. See this as an example:
http://www.halnesbitt.com/pages/pdfqs.php
3. This method is very advanced and uses message communication ques between the Browser and the PDF (which is opened inside IFRAME element) using HostContainer object. This method will enable 2-way communication between the Browser and the PDF on the client side using javascript. I'd love to use this method one day. See example here:
http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
I hope this will be of help to you.

What are the programming language used in adobe livecycle development?

hi friends,
I am a fresher.I woundered what adobe has done in livecycle import option.so i want to know wht is the programming language used and how they read graphical fields like line,circle.

Programatically, Java is the language used to implement business logic that would plug into LiveCycle. I believe you can use C# for older versions. However, that information is irrelevant to your problem.
That being said, it's typically not advisable to be modifying PDF files generated by different applications (iText, Adobe LiveCycle, etc.). While both documents may render out as "PDF", they will not be created internally in the same manner. I would advise that it may be easy to add PDF files generated by other applications as attachments, they are not going to be easily handled unless you address each specific document in a custom manner.

ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
The online scenario perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
Please advise.
Regards.
Rohit

hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
Kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Adding comments to PDF in Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2

Is it possible to let Adobe LiveCycle Workspace ES2 users to add comments to a PDF document without having to download the document?
How?
I have been trying many different ways for the past several weeks, but couldn’t find a way.
I tried to bring the attachment into a document variable and then using it as the input document for an assign task operation, after reader extending (including online commenting) it in the process. Tried different kinds of PDFs, including documents created from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe LiveCycle designer, static forms, with or without input fields, etc. Nothing seems to work so far.
Any tips would be welcome.
Thanks.
Ali.

Hi $Nith$,
I tried the same procedure what you had explained here. But, I am unable to get the comments that entered while reviewing.
Here I am attaching my workflow.
Here I am entering comments in workspace for this document in reviewer stage. I want to send this comments along with document for next stage (Approval stage).
Thanking you in advance.
