We were using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 for creating forms, what is new product replacement?

We were using Adobe Livecycle designer 7.0 (circa 2004) for creating our own dynamic forms. The program has since failed to work, we cant locate the old disk. What is the new product replacement that will allow us to build new forms from scratch with our own fields and data collection?

LiveCycle Designer no longer comes with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro, but it can be purchased separately (soon): http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/tools/designer.html

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.

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Embed webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
We have NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
I would give best points to you !!
Thanks in advance

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")

Trouble connecting to https secure web service using Adobe Livecycle Designer

I am attempting to use Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 to create a data connection in a Form to a secure (https) web service and I'm having some difficulty.
I'm new to Livecycle and have tried searching online for an answer, but the help isn't very clear and the only tutorials online that I can find are ones that connect to non-https services.
The WSDL I'm trying to connect to is: https://uk.ws.ondemand.qas.com/ProOnDemand/V3/ProOnDemandService.asmx?WSDL
My questions are:
Q1. Does Adobe Livecycle support https web service connections? The following link suggests that this isn't possible: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yOOcM3Bn4BAC&pg=PA179&lpg=PA179&dq=secure+web+service+w ith+adobe+livecycle&source=bl&ots=jm1GIZflOJ&sig=uLfv5Xda4eXXJl5o_7vBViwU-w0&hl=en&sa=X&ei =WLvIT5P4OujW0QWmv7nDAQ&ved=0CI4BEOgBMAk#v=onepage&q=secure%20web%20service%20with%20adobe %20livecycle&f=false
Q2. I've managed to consume the WSDL but can only see the body of the XML request for a particular SOAP action. Where can I add the username/password credentials? I've selected "Requires Message-Level Authentication" during the new connection wizard, but it doesn't prompt me at all for these details.

Hi,
I tried using SOAP.Connect too..
But I am facing the same problem.
Any solution found yet?

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,

Generate or Preview XML when Extending Reader Options using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
I am trying to view the generated xml when reader options are extended. However, when I try to open the reader extended PDF in LiveCycle Designer, it says you will lose reader options. Is there any other way in which I can compare the generated XML before and after extending reader options?
I am having issues processing PDF after extending reader options as the generated xml is generating the following error.
"XmlException was unhandled by user code, Data at the root level is invalid. Line1, position1"

May be you can try this way to get the XML before and after the Reader extensions.
1) Place a Text field with multi line allowed.
2) Place a button on the form with the following in click event.
TextField1.rawValue = xfa.data.saveXML("pretty");
3) Open the form in either Reader/ Acrobat and click on the Button. Save the XML data in a file that was assigned to the TextField.
4) Reader extend the form.
5) Repeat the step 3 again to capture the XML from the form after Reader Extensions.
This way you can get the XML from the form before and after.
Thanks

Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and secure parts of form using signatures.

Hi to all ...
I have upgraded to new LiveCycle Desinger 8.1 few days ago, and still do not know all the new features.
I was requested to develop new LiveCycle Form, but this time it has to be secured by Digital Signatures or what every appropriate method.
The form has exactly 2 sections and 2 Digital Signatures:
1. The first section/part is to be filled by the Staff (let us call him the Authoring Staff).
Any one can fill the first part.
After the first part is signed, the Data Entry on the first part should be locked, and no one on Earth should be able to change the data on the first part. Only the signer of the first part is allowed to update/clear the signature but only and only of the Second part is not yet signed.
The staff should not be allowed to sign the form unless all mandatory fields and other validation logic is statisfied.
Only the Signer of the Form and special authorized staff/group of staff will be allowed to open the form. Let us call them Group01.
2. The second section/part is to be filled by special authorized staff/group (say Group02), they are basicall HR Staff (this is a secret).
The second part can only be filled if the first part is filled and signed by the Authoring Staff.
The second part can be signed only if the validation logic on the second part is true (no errors, and all mandatory fields are filled).
Once the second part is signed, the first part the the second part should be locked, and no one on earth should be able to change anything on the form.
Only the signer of the form should be able to clear the signature of the 2nd part and make any changes requried.
If the 2nd part is signed, the Authoring Staff should not be able to change anything on the form.
*****End of Requirements.*****
I have just started, and I am requested to desing the form and implement the required security in 10 days only.
Can any one please help me ?
I am doing my research now.
Thank you.
Tarek.

Dear Dfoto,
Thank you so much for being so kind to spend the effort and reply back, I though my question was left behind the sun... but now I am very happy in deed.
To be more specific, the Form has 2 parts. The first part "Subform1" any one can fill and sign.
The second part "Subform2", only certain users can fill and sign.
I think I found a very strong lead to my solution, when I was playing with LiveCycle Desinger few days ago.
On the Singature Field Advanced Setting, there is a place you can attach the public part of a certificate (Digital Signature) of any user, one or more.
In this part, you tell LC that only those users "signing parties" can sign the field. I tested it and it worked.
Now, if I can use this feature via JavaScript to find out if the user who is filling the form, can sign this field, then he can fill the form. If he cannot sign the field, then he cannot fill the form. I can do that by setting the "access" property of the Subform. Another solution is that I can prevent the user from hitting the "Submit" button unless he signes the designated Signature Field.
I have another small issue:
I found out that if the Signature field is part of a repeating dynamic Subform, it will not work during run-time. Very bad in deed. While I cannot understand why ?, I tool this as "By Desing" feature.
Now, if the Signature is locking parts of forms which has dynamic content (repeating subforms), it will always show somthing like "Signature is corrupted or form was changed after it was signed".
Is this normal ? Is there a way to control Dynamic Forms using Digital Signatures without such annoying issues ?
Thank you.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 - Crash (Memory could not be "written")

I was using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 for the past half year. All of a sudden, it started to crash - Memory could not be "written".
During that period I heard quite a lot about Adobe's bugs, so I decided to install Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 hoping to see improvement over software stability and compatibility.
Of course I uninstalled the older verion, deleted the older file folders then did a clean-install of 8.0
Interesting enough, the first time I open up Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, everything went normal. Without doing anything, I closed it then tryied to re-open it, the splash screen shows up then nothing happens - not a single error message.
Then I tried the following:
1. restarted PC. Tried the open-close-reopen squence, same thing happened.
2. uninstalled 8.0, deleted the folders, reinstalled 8.0. open-close-reopen, same thing happed.
2. uninstalled 8.0, deleted the folders, reinstalled 7.1. Open LiveCycle Designer 7.1 -> Crash (Memory could not be "written")
Findings:
1. the errors are consistent
2. it can open ONLY once, is this an activation issue? is there a corrupted file?

Well when I tried to open the sample project I got this error:
"Open project was cancelled or the application was unable to load database for "C:\PROGRAM FILES\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 8\RoboHTML\Samples\en_US\CCC\CCC.cpd""
I couldn't delete the CPD file because this client has locked down the computer to the point where I cannot do anything more than view the files in the program folder. Without having the ability to write to the program files folder is it possible this is an issue? Or is it ok that I do all the creating content in the RoboHelp Project on the C drive?
It allowed me to copy the Sample folder to the RoboHelp Project folder on the C drive. I deleted the CPD file then opened it without a problem. I created a topic and added some content, but nothing happened. When RH8 crashed before there was no rhyme or reason and I cannot duplicate the error. Just seems very sponataneous.
I need to finish the style guide project today, but I will also play with the sample folder and see if (1) it happens again and (2) if I can figure out how to duplicate the error consistently. The first 2 times I had been in the new topic and wrote several paragraphs without saving it. Can't remember how long from topic creation to crash. And I can't remember if it crashed on trying to save or not, but I'm pretty sure I had not tried to save prior to the crash.
Regards,
CJ

Adobe LiveCycle Designer Installation

Hi,
I have installed Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 for interactive forms. But when I try to edit the Interactive form I am getting the following message.
Could not retrieve product:
Install SAP Interactive Forms -Adobe LiveCycle Designer
to edit the interactive form.
I reffered to SAP Note 962763 to install it.
I also tried with installing adobe livecycle designer 6.0.
But I am getting the same problem.
Do we need to configure anything?
Any information in this regard will be greatly helpful.
Regards,
Sumangala

Uninstall and do reboot and install it again. Once you installed the Adobe Live Cycle Component, you need to configure the J2EE server.
1) Put credential file in
usr\sap\J2E\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\TrustManagerService\trust\credentials directory.
2) Go to visual Administrator
     I. Go to Cluster -> services -> Document services Configuration
         put Alias name
         browse your creditial file
         put password and confirm password
     II.
        Cluster -> services -> web service security -> tc~....webdynpro.adsproxy.AdsProxy/ConfigPort_Document
        Change Connection Settings URL http://<your_host>:<port> rest remains unchanged and save it.
3) Go to UME, reset ADSUser password.

Fillable Forms Created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0

I created a fillable form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. Prior to using the form for clients we sent it around to numerous people to make sure it's working properly. We have experienced problems with users that are using older versions of Reader or full versions of Acrobat (5.0 & 6.0). Some problems we have had:
1.) We understand you cannot save the filled out form in older versions, but some users are not even able to print the form (the program shuts down). When the form is opened in an older version it lets the user know that they cannot save the form and it must be printed if they need a copy, but we had one user using version Acrobat version 7.0 that received this message.
2.) Users with full versions of Acrobat 7.0 have been able to fill out the form and save it, but when the form gets back to us it is blank.
3.) Users with Acrobat and Reader 7.0 cannot use the print button, it just does not work.
We were looking to see if there is a way of saving a fillable form down to an older version to see if this can solve our problem. I have not had any luck finding out how to do that. If anyone knows how to do this could you let me know? If not I guess we will go back to the old fashioned way of having the user print the form and fill it out.
Thank you!

I'm actually having the exact same problem. I imported a form into Designer 7.0 as an Adobe Reader 6.0 "compatible" form. At first, there were several warning messages in various fields but I changed all of these fields so that they would be compatible. The form works in 6.0, however, whenever a user initially opens the form in 6.0 a message pops up promting the user to upgrade to 7.0 for the form to work. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0 so any information on how to prevent this dialouge from coming up would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

Adobe LiveCycle Designer & Mac?

Please help me understand this:
I have a Mac.
I have Acrobat Pro XI via the Creative Cloud.
There is a button within Acrobat Pro XI that says "Edit Text & Images"
When I press this button it says
"This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
This is a software that isn't available on Mac, correct?
I hope I don't need to state in any detail how useless / lazy this user experience design is.
Instead, there are questions, so many questions:
1. Why is there a button that does nothing.
2. Why does the help text for the button that does nothing request that I use a software I cannot run.
3. Are you seriously asserting that Mac users cannot edit a PDF via your software?

Thank you for the replies - the nature of this, however, is that an enduser who isn't 100% savvy with the tool that was used to create the PDF wants to edit the PDF and cannot.
It is useful to know that there are distinctions between the types of PDFs or how they were saved, even though the PDF content itself isn't anything out of the ordinary. I had edited forms exactly like this form in Acrobat Pro 8, for example.
I understand keeping the standards intact - ie, keeping it a PDF file - but there should be some sort of obvious feedback in the software. When looking at the info on MacOS it does state that it was created using LiveCycle 8.2. I wish it was more obvious in Acrobat and that options to edit were not selectable with a tangential error message!
So the question really becomes a statement: Hey, make this kind of PDF editable / createable in Mac. It is more understandable that since the creator wasn't in Mac, editing it isn't supported in Mac.
I was blinded by the fact that the PDF itself is less complicated than others that I could easily edit in previous versions of Acrobat Pro, literally just changing typos!
Thanks again everyone. Happy holidays
