How to activate script debugging in Adobe Livecycle designer

Friends,
I would like to know how to activate script debugging in the Adobe Livecycle designer. I need to debug the scripts written in the script editor.
Thanks and Regards.

Syntax checking is available in designer from version 8.1 onwards.
If you want to enable in Adobe Reader then go to Edit --> Preferences --> JavaScript --> Enable the option Show console on Errors on messages.
Apart from it the alternative way to debug the scripts is to use xfa.host.messageBox and check the values.

  • How to enable script debugger in adobe LC designer

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me how to enable script debugger in adobe livecycle designer. Can we debug the java scripts in adobe desiger..if yes, then please let me know how do i do it.
    I want to  debug the code line by line.
    Regards
    Sunil

    Designer doesn't have a debugger like Acrobat.
    The script editor can check only if the syntax is correct.
    You generally can use the PDF-Preview to debug JavaScripts when  Acrobat is your current PDF-Viewer.
    Add this code in you script where you want to start debugging. It will call Acrobat's JS Console
    debugger;
    console.show();

  • How to split a column in adobe livecycle design?

    How does one split a column in adobe livecycle design. I have found that one can split a column after you have merged it. But I want to split two columns into four in the middle of a table. This can be done in Word. Is there a way even if one has to split each row? Does any one know? Like in the table below I would like to make Header 2 & Header 3, Rows 2 and 3 into 2 rows 4 columns.
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    Header 4
    Thanks
    Sheila

    If you want to have 1 column to be split in 4 columns, you can insert a table with 4 columns inside a column cell.. If you mean to add rows and you want to keep those 4 columns, you should add instances of the row where you inserted the table with 4 columns...
    Hope this helps!

  • 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!

       I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
       I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in  Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.

    Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
    You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
    So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?

  • How to configure Adobe LiveCycle designer on my SAP Server?

    Dear friends.
    I have installed SAP ECC 6.0 and Adobe LiveCycle designer ES 8.2 on my computer.
    Now I want to use Adobe LiveCycle designer in SAP by TCODE:SFP.
    Please tell me how to configure Adobe LiveCycle designer on my SAP Server in details.

    Hi MSReddy,
    You don't need to configure it on SAP server. It should be installed on you desktop only.
    Install ADLC on your desktop and open SFP it should work. If its not showing you the layout it means you are using wrong version of ADLC. Use ADLC downloaded from SAP Service market place only.(service.sap.com), else it will create problems.

  • How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

    Hello all,
    after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
    The problem:
    I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
    Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
    Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
    Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <cfpdfform action="populate" source="test.pdf" destination="testout.pdf" overwrite="yes" >

          <cfpdfsubform name="Row1">
            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell1" value="1">
            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell2" value="2">

            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell4" value="4">
          </cfpdfsubform>
          <cfpdfsubform name="Row2">
            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell1" value="5">
            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell2" value="6">
            <cfpdfformparam name="Cell3" value="7">

    </cfpdfsubform>
    </cfpdfform>
    <cfpdfform action="read" source="testout.pdf" result="testout" />
    <cfdump var="#testout#">
    </body>
    </html>
    What happes is:
    The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
    Please can someone enlighten me?
    Thanks and regards
    Gilbert

    When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
       <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
                <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
                <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
      </cfloop>
    This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same.  In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes every time I open it :(

    Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
    My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
    http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
    I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

    I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
    When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
    I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
    Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
    Thanks

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

    I am currently learning how to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. My employer gave me the file to install a trial version along with pdf files with tutorials explaining how to use it. I am having trouble with the tutorials that involving scripting. Though I copy the script code directly from the pdf and follow the instructions. I have a hard time getting it to work correctly.
    The one that I have had the most problem with is the tutorial entitled "Providing Interactive database lookup from forms."   It can found at this address: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_db_lookup_tip.pdf#search=%22%22providing%20interactive%20database%20lookup%22%22 I followed the instructions to create a new data connection from the mdb file provided. There was a script to populate a drop down box that I was able to get to work after changing the syntax a bit. However the script that is on the button to execute the query I couldn't ever get to work.
    Here are the instructions copied directly from the pdf.
    13. Select the Refresh object. In the Script Editor, choose the following:
    • Show: click
    • Language: FormCalc
    • Run At: Client
    14. In the Script editing area, type the following code:
    if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
    $sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = “text”
    $sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.item(0).value = Concat(“Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = “, Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,””)
    //Reopen the Dataconnection
    $sourceSet.DataConnection.open()
    endif
    Whenever I click the button I received the following error:
    http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7250/errorbr6.png
    Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?  Also does anyone know of where I can get good information about how to script these forms to integrate with SAP?  Thank you for your help.

    Hi Jason,
    as you are using the Adobe stand-alone Designer and tutorials, you should direct your questions directly to Adobe (probably on their website) as the samples shipped with the stand-alone product do not necessarily work in the SAP environment.
    For SAP integration, you need to install SAP NetWeaver AS(demo versions, for example, here in SDN on the download site) and use the versions of the Adobe components delivered by SAP. SAP also provides tutorials for the Interactive Forms integration in Web Dynpro.
    Start looking at this topic on the SDN homepage at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms where you will also find many links.
    You can connect to SAP using the Adobe stand-alone products, too, but given Adobe's development partnership with SAP, this approach doesn't make much sense - and it is, as I stated above, a question for Adobe, not SAP.
    Kind regards,
