Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms

I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help?

Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

Help with PDF Form Submission

Hello,
I am using Live Cycle for the first time. I have designed a PDF form that my clients will fill out and then send back to me.
I have a website and thought submitting the form via http would be best but am having a problem with knowing the correct URL an then the server authentication.
When I try to submit now I get an authorization error.
Here is the URL I used in LiveCycle - http://watchmymvp.com/profilesubmissions
This is to a folder a created on the server.
How do I set this up?
Thanks

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Help with PDF form responses

Hey there!
I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
#1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
#2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Help with pdf forms

Hello all,
I need help desperately! Ok. so, I created a for from an existing document (PDF) on a mac computer. I did a test to see what would happen from the receiving end. When I distribute the form, the client receives it and fills in the blanks with type. WHenever they type a multiple line of text, the text becomes jumbled. I am running out of time and need to get this form to my client asap. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, whast did you do to fix the problem?
Thanks

You'll need to go back and set the properties for the fields in question to multi-line. Right click on the field and select properties.

Help with PDF form download

Could anyone help please. I have completed a form and saved it, then I went back into it and made a couple of changes and now I cannot download it as a PDF file. Here is the error message I keep getting
There is nothing else open on my mac, so I don't understand it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi;
The general things to try are:
1) Make sure that youdo not have the file open, close any applications that might have had the file open
2) Make sure you are saving to a location you can "write" to, such as your Desktop (not a read only location)
3) Try giving the file a new name when saving (you probably need to add ".pdf" or you might end up with a file with no extension and you'd get another error message)
4) Try restarting the web browser
5) Try another web browser
6) If all else fails restart your computer and try again
Let me know if those do not get you going again.
Thanks,
Josh
PS - I see Genevieve has just responded as well, I am leaving my response up since I mention trying another browser since that just resolved the same issue for another user...

IPad help with PDF forms

I am using Adobe Pro 8 on a PC and created a fill in form. I filled in the form using Adobe Reader 10.2 on an iPad2. Emailed the filled out form to my PC and can see the filled out form in my email previewer. However, when I save the file to my PC the data gets lost (blank form). Any suggestions?

Hello,
I believe your question has been addressed in the Adobe Reader for iOS forum in this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4360262#4360262
The relevant text:
"Some forms do not display correctly in the Desktop Reader if field highlighting is enabled. This is something we're actively working on, but you might try disabling field highlights by clicking on the button in the purple bar at the top of the Document in the Desktop Reader to see if that helps."
Hope this information helps. If this does not remedy your problem, please let me know via email at [email protected]

Help with PDF Form Calculation

OK So I don't know if this is even possible but what I am wanting is for clients to enter their income in the "income" felid and then for the "contribution" felid to pre-populate with how much they can have contributed...
if the value is less than $31,920 then it is equal to $1000 – which works
if the value is more than $61,920 then it is equal to $0 – which also works
if the value is between $31,920 and $61,920 to apply the following formula:
1000-(0.0333*(income-31920)) - this is where I am stumped!
I have used the following code which works for the lesser than / greater than queries... however when I ask it to actually take the value in the box and use it to make a calculation I have no idea where to begin (or even if it is possible) so (as you can probably tell) I have just made up some sort of code which clearly doesn’t work...
if (this.getField("income").value<31920) {
event.value = 1000
} else {
    if (this.getField("income").value>61920) {
    event.value = 0
} else {
      event.value = 1000-(0.03333*((this.getFeild("income"))-31920))
Any takers?

You were very close. Try something like the following as the calculated field's custom Calculate script:
(function () {
    // Get the field value
    var v = getField("income").value;
    if (v < 31920) {
        event.value = 1000;
        return;
    if (v > 61920) {
        event.value = 0;
        return;
    // v is >= 31920 and =< 61920
    event.value = 1000 - (0.03333 * (v - 31920));

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.

Unable to toggle between LiveCycle Designer & Help

If we opened the LiveCycle Designer Help window, we are unable to switch to the Designer util the help window is minimized. This is slightly annoying the developers.
It would be better if it can behave like other applications (e.g. Adobe Workbench ES)
Thanks,

I am unable to duplicate the problem you are experiencing. I was able to use Acrobat Pro 9 and X, to apply the Reader Extension permissions (to the sample form I posted earlier) and open and sign the form in both Reader 9 and X.
What is the exact version of Acrobat you are using to apply the Reader Extension rights. The dialog I see when doing so with Acrobat 9 Pro is...
If you are using Acrobat Standard, it seems there is a limitation (save data only) on the Reader Extension permissions that you can apply.

When you tried other WDAs with PDFs, where they interactive PDFs? The reader rights are only needed for interactive PDFs.
>WebDynpro Exception: ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: Could not retrieve a password for credential: ReaderRights(200,101).
That error message would sure to seem to point that the credentials are not accessible to the user that ADS webservice call is being made by. That would certainly seem to me to point to a configuration problem at the Basis level.

How to work with PDF forms filled up by the user?

I would appreciate any help regrading work with PDF Forms.
I present a PDF form to users with several fields that they need to fill up.
My problem is to receive the values of these fields back.
In PDF forms you can add a "Submit" button that sends the fields to a given servlet.
That, however, takes me out of my session and out of JSF navigation model.
I can't find a way to go back.
The PDF form is shown in an iframe, so Java Script outside of the iframe cannot know about the "Submit" button action.
Thanks for any help or reference on this subject.

How to use F4 help on PDF form

Hello,
I'm using Adobe Interactive Form with WebDynpro for Java.
I'd like to use F4 value help on Adobe Form.
Does anyone know how to implement F4 help on PDF form ?
Regards,
Koji.

Hi,
SAP Note: 1013227.
But you should have ZCI based forms. Note: 1055911 and 1042394.
It always makes sense if you specify the NetWeaver SP release you are on along with any other information that you think is important.
Best Regards,
Krish
