Transfers from LiveCycle Designer 7.0 to InDesign C2

We are switching from LiveCycle Designer 7.0 to InDesign C2. Is there any way to migrate existing forms?
Thanks,
Bob

Those are two completely different programs. You can use InDesign to
create artwork for a form, export to PDF and then use Livecycle to dress
it up as a form. But one program does not replace the other.

Preview from LiveCycle Designer

I was recently teaching a class on LiveCycle Designer, and the Preview tab was not available. If I opened the file from within Acrobat, then the Preview tab became available. But when I clicked it (from LCD), I got a error message and was taken back to Acrobat again. (I don't have access to that computer today, but I can check it on Monday.)
Is there a preference setting somewhere that I'm missing? (I've had a similar problem before, but soon discovered that Acrobat was presenting a modal dialog at opening. Once we got past that, we were fine. No similar problem here.)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Paul, isn't this setting part of acrobat itself and not something one can "set" in the document? Opening pdf forms on my computer does not show the fields to be highlighted.
Which version of Designer did you use to create the form?
It looks like the same version I had quoted above.
I originally created a form that was based off of an existing PDF image. I had just put the fields "on top of" the scanned image that the PDF contained. The result was too ugly for me, so I copy and pasted all my fields over onto a new empty static form and created what I posted above.
Looking at the original "ugly" form's XML it looks like the version of the software didn't change:
<?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesignerES_V8.2.1.4029.1.523496" APIVersion="2.8.9029.0"?>
Also, the "right" attribute exists in the original "ugle" PDF document that is dated 5/3/2009 if that helps any.
I followed your instructions and removed "right" and that fixed the problem. Looks like LiveCycle's XML parser needs an additional validation check! I had wondered what that "right" thing was since when I was looking through all the settings I didn't see a corrisponding setting. I had just assumed that it was some internal setting I wasn't supposed to care about. Good catch!
Thanks for your help Paul!

What is the best upgrade path from LiveCycle Designer 8.0?

Back in June 2010, I developed a website for a client which included some interactive forms created with LiveCycle Designer 8.0 (came with Adobe CS3.) He recently brought to my attention the fact that the data filled in by his customers on the forms does not display in PDF docs on his iPhone or Android smartphone (the PDFs and filled-in data display fine via desktop browsers.) Can anyone suggest the best (least expensive, least painful... I don't want to rewrite his site in HTML5) solution? E.g., upgrade my LiveCycle Designer 8.0 version and reinstall the forms on his site? Would that be to Acrobat X Pro? Does a second set of forms need to be created for mobile format? Suggestions would be appreciated. Here is his web page with links to the existing 3 forms. Thanks. -Bob C.

Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it. Since my post, I noticed that Adobe offers free apps for iOS and android devices "to view and work with PDF files." Called: Adobe Reader X for mobile. Any idea whether these apps would resolve the issue described above? (Filled-in data on forms created on desktops not displaying on mobile devices?) Unfortunately, I don't have an android device to test with and my iPhone hardware is not current enough to load the ios app. -Thank you.

Exporting from livecycle designer es8.2 to Dreamweaver, possible?

Hello everyone! I created a contact form in livecycle designer es 8.2. I am curious to know if it is possible to export the form to dreamweaver and embedd it in a website? Thanks

You can submit the form or the data via email but you will not be able to do it without the mail dialog opening up and having the user
click the send. This is for security reason.
You can however do an HTTP/HTTPs post and have the data or PDF submitted to a web server by having the user click a button.

Import from Livecycle Designed forms

Is there a way to import forms I have created from Livecyle Designer? So far it is not allowing me because they are XFA forms.

Having Problems Seeing your LiveCycle Designer Forms on the iPAD Adobe Reader App?

I'm not a computer wize and very new to Adobe and creating forms with LiveCycle. So apologize to anyone that reads this and says "duh", but hopefully it will be helpful to someone out there who is struggling like I was.
First off - the IPad will will definitely be able to view your livecycle forms regardless of what anyone else says! These were my steps;
1. Create form in LiveCycle Designer.
2. When you save, select "save as"
3. When the dialogue box opens, and you are creating the name of what you are going to call your file, below you will see a drop down box labeled "Save As Type". Make sure you switch the file type to "Adobe Static PDF Form (*.pdf)"
And that's it!
Here is another tip for a user like me:)
I need to create a form to post to a website, where people fill it in and save it to their computers. I found that when I just saved the form straight from LiveCycle Designer and then posted, some of the free adobe versions wouldn't let the user fill it in. So this is what I did,
1. Follow the first 3 steps I listed above.
2. Next open Adobe (the full version) not the reader. I have Adobe X.
3. Got to "Save As". It will give you a bunch of options. Select "Reader Extended PDF" and then "Enable Additional Features"
Add that should be it!
One more tip for the average to low level user. We had some feedback that when someone open my form in the iPad app. they were not able to fill it in. They could, but what they didn't realize was they needed to select the icon at the top that is a little picture of a speech bubble and pencile.

Yup. I filled in the form and made a bunch of comments, closed the app and everything I had filled in on the form was still there. I also tried emailing the filled in form to myself and opening it. The comments and filled in sections don't appear when I open it in my email viewer, but as long as I open it in the adobe app everything is still there.
Now all I have to do is to convince my web guy not to be mad when I Tell him he has to repost all my files (JK) ;)

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 exporting data from adobe data set into Excel

Hello - I am new to this, and have no IS support from my organization, so I am at your mercy.
I am trying to export the files within my adobe dataset created from Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 into an Excel file. When I do this only 126 files are transferred. There doesn't seem to be any particular cut off or reason. For example last names a-p file entries #1-126, then cuts off at file entry #127 leaving the last half of the alpha q-z. I do have one friend is IS whom on his free time, looked into the program to see if there was a setting or something that only allowed a certain amount of space/files to be exported, but he couldn't find anything. His only thought was that my computer didn't have enough space, but I have 18.9GB of free space on the C:. Any sugesstions and or help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, ALR

I select all, click the Export Button, and it only gives me the option to save as a CVS Excel type file, sometimes it exports files, other times it wont, when it does, it only does 126 lines in Excel, then won't let me add any more with a second export attempt.

How can I write to a file from a livecycle designed PDF?

I am producing a PDF in Livecycle designer and would like to write a sub-set of data from the document.
I have tried methods such as exportData() but this exports everything which i don't need.
I have seen another method which is to attach a file and write to that but ideally I'd just like to be able to create a new file.
var data = xfa.data.nodes.item(0).nodes.item(1).saveXML() var oFile = util.streamFromString(data , "utf-8");
I would like to write oFile.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
I would like to add that ideally the user would be presented with a save as dialog box, so the can choose the location of where to save the xml data.

an extraction out of expert one-on-one from Thomas Kyte
<quote>
when an oracle istance is created the services that support it are setup to 'log on as' the system (or operating system) account, this account has very few privileges and no acces to Window NT Domains. To access another Windows NT machine the OracleServiceXXXX must be setup to logon to the appropriate Windows NT Domain as a user who has acces to the required location for UTL_FILE.
To change the default logon for the Oracle services go to (in Windows NT):
Control Panel | Services | OracleServiceXXXX | startup | log on as; (where XXXX is the instance name)
In Windows 2000, this would be:
Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services | OracleServiceXXX | Properties | Log on tab; (again XXXX is the instance name)
Choose the This Account radio button, and then complete the appropriate domain login information. ONce the services have been setup as a user with the appropriate privileges, ther are two options dfor setting UTL_FILE_DIR:
* Mapped Dirve: To use a mapped drive, the user that the service starts as must have setup a drive to match UTL_FILE_DIR and be logged onto the server when UTL_FILE is in use.
* Universal Naming Convention: UNC is preferable to Mapped Drives because it does not require anyone to be logged on and utl_file_dir should be set to a name in the form \\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>
You will of course need to stop and restart Oracle after changing the properties of the service.
<\quote>
I want to write some data to a (external) file. I have it working with the function UTL_FILE.
My problem is I want to write to a file on a mapped drive (so a drive on a different machine). This is not working.
Does anyone know a way to build this.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 Dropdown List Fill from a spreadsheet

I am a new user to Adobe LiveCycle Designer and have created a form which a manager is required to fill out for each of their employees.
I would like to create a drop-down object which will contain the name of the employees, so the manager can just pick the employee from a dropdown list and then fill out the evaluation. We have over 1000 employees, so I don't want to type them in one by one.
Please let me know how to link the list of employees to this form from another source.
I can put the list of employee names into an Excel spreadsheet or an Access Database.
I have tried following information posted in different places in the web, but I must be doing something wrong??
I would appreciate a step by step guide of instructions to help me accomplish this task.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Select the Drop Down object and add a sample name thru the object UI. Now view the "XML Source" TAB, it shows xml code similar to the image.
Now need to prepare all the names from the excell, place all names in one column of excell and copy paste the <text> and </text> nodes to the names(hopefully each column at a time). now need to copy all together and prepare final version to copy notepad (may require some replace all with spaces to format properly) then from notepad only update the above xml source . while going to design view it may pop-up warning message of changed xml, and click yes, now all names should be present in the dropdown. Hope this works.All we are doing here the form design is from "XML Source" tab insted of adding one by one from the object from design view.

How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?

 I am unable to access LifeCycle ES2 from my Adobe Acrobat X pro, even though I am supposed to have it as part of the software. I have tried Forms/Edit forms, and I have looked for it through all the menus. Several of the helps I have found for other things has me launch LifeCycle and operate from screens that LifeCycle designer provides.
 I am using Windows XP professional.
 I would appreciate all the help I can get on this.
Thanks

9.0 folder, but thanks to your instructions I now have use of it.

How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe
Acrobat X Pro?
Re: How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?
created by TundraSteve in LiveCycle Designer - View the full discussion
There is a terminology issue here. From Acrobat Pro X you launch Designer
not LiveCycle ES2. LiveCycle is a server product.
When you install Acrobat you have the option to install or not install
Designer. Look in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0
and check to see if there is a Designer 9.0 folder. When in Acrobat you
should be able to create a new form and it will prompt if you want to use
Designer. If all else fails you can always go into the Designer 9.0
folder and launch FormDesigner.exe

Edit Indesign pdf in Livecycle Designer

I have a form created in Livecycle designer that I would like to add to an InDesign PDF. I also would like to make minor revisions to the InDesign document in Livecycle. Can anyone tell me how this can be done. Thanks.

Hi,
it cannot be done!
The PDF's you create with Designer and InDesign are totally different animals and not comparable against each other.
To edit an interactive PDF you created with InDesign you can either use Acrobat for minor changes or the source file (indd) and InDesign.
To edit a dynamic PDF created with Designer you have to use Designer as even Acrobat won't allow changes.

How to populate Adobe LiveCycle Designer generated PDF Forms with data from Database in Windows app

Hi
I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically. I am using windows application in C#.Net 2005 in which I want to retrieve data from database and merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.
How this can be achieved?
I searched a lot & I found that we can process the XDP file generated from PDF to acheive this. I created the XDP file out of the PDF template created in designer. But I don't know how to merge data from database into that XDP file in respective fields and again convert this XDP file back to PDF programmatically. Can anybody help me ? This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer query data from MII 12.0 via Webservice

Hi folks,
at the moment I'm "learning" how to create interactive forms with the Adobe LiveCycle Designer. I hope anyone already did something like that too and can help me a bit?!
Creating forms with XML data in the background etc. is not that problem. Also using little schemas to provide data to a dropdown list - I fand that no trouble. But now I want to request some dynamic data from an external data provider.
I have a nice book from SAP Press laying next to me that tells me how to create a webservice based on a BAPI in SAP and how that webservice delivers some table data. But before I try to get data out of SAP, I would like to retrieve data by using MII (12.0 at first). I already built a transaction that creates some XML and imported the WSDLGen as a new data connection in Adobe LC Designer. No problem so far. I can execute it and I get some data back. But the XML that comes back is not formatted as table data as expected from Adobe LC so I can't build a table from it. I only receive the first dataset - every value as a single value, not as a table or row.
So does anyone know how to format the XML result in MII or how to combine it with a schema so that Adobe LC Designer is able to interprete it as table data? In the SAP example in the book the received data from the data connection of the webservice is shown as table data (a litte table icon) and my data from MII is shown as single values...
Thanks
Anika

It sounds like you need use the adobe schema in MII so the output of your transaction matches it.

Jamie
