About using live cycle 2.5

Hi guys,
I'm planning to use Live Cycle Data Services 2.5 and I have a
question.
For now, I'm trying to test LCDS 2.5 with a trial version
(express version), yet since I have no previous experience with
this program, I' m not quite sure with installing licensed version
later on.
Do I have to uninstall LCDS 2.5 if I get a license key later
on and reinstall it with a license key or is it like I just
only need to enter a license key into my express version and
this converts express version into department version? Does any one
have any information on this?
Thanks in advance!!!

You can update /WEB-INF/flex/licence.properties at a later
time without having
to re-install.

Embeding pdf in aspx page and transfer its contents to server using live cycle

Hi,
I am new in designing live cycle forms , My requirement is I want to send a pdf content data from client to server, i am using visualstudio 2005 ,
pls give me a solution for sending using live cycle designer , Is it possible to call a webservice using live cycle if so then how? please provide a sample application , I am waiting for reply

1) submitting form content from an interactive PDF to a server-side solution
Designer ES enables the submission of PDF, XDP+XML, XML, and form data via an an HTTP POST. The fact that a PDF is hosted in a HTML container produced by ASPX does not change the submission options. Could you be more specific about what you are looking for in the context of VS 2005?
2) calling a Web Service
Yes it is possible to call a Web Service from a client-side interactive PDF. You need to define a data connection to a SOAP endpoint and bind the input and output parameters to form fields. See LiveCycle Designer ES help http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/acrobat_designer/000498.html.

Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro- cannot edit a PDF we created. It says to use Live Cycle, Does this Adobe subscirption not include Live Cycle? The earlier version of Adobe did.

Cannot edit a PDF we created in Adobe Acrobat X1 pro. The form tells use to use Live Cycle to edit. Does the X1 subscription not include Live Cycle? Our earlier versions of Adobe did include Live Cycle

No. You have to purchase LCD separately now.

Fdf format should work with pdf's made with Live Cycle Designer!!!

using: Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0; Windows XP.
I have need to take data from a SQL database and display that data on various forms that were created by a city Agency, the DOB. Some of the forms were created using Adobe Acrobat version 6. For those forms I am able to create an .fdf file and open the associated pdf by using a run statement in my prorgramming language. This is very nice. The fdf format is easy to recreate, and the run statement opens the pdf with the data displayed automatically, WHICH IS MY DESIRED END RESULT!!! Users click a button in my program, they get a form with the data on it.
Now the DOB has created new PDF forms that were made using Live Cycle Designer. Much to my suprise, documents create by the designer cannot handle the fdf data format, just xml. This is a real problem for someone trying automatically populate a pdf from data collected not using the form itself. The xml data format cannot automatically open the document and populate the form data the way the fdf does. I spoke with tech support and they had no answer for me but to recreate the forms. That will take me days.
It is hard for me to understand why you would create a tool such as Live Cycle Designer that prevents a user such as I from using all of the features of your Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 product. Very suprising.

You might ask about this in the regular forum. There are several form experts there that may be able to help you.

How does one strip out all Live Cycle data from a PDF and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat?

Someone in a different department built a bunch of forms in Live Cycle. We now need to make minor edits to these forms but we all have Macs and can't use Live Cycle. Currently our only option to change a date and a name on each form is to buy a new Windows workstation, buy a copy of Live Cycle and train someone for it.
I understand the Live Cycle technology and Acrobat technology for forms are somehow different but there must be a way to just strip out all the Live Cycle form programming so that I just have the bare PDF with the text and layout. Then make the text edits and rebuild the form fields in Acrobat.

It depends on your PDF. Is the PDF a static XFA or a dynamic XFA?
You can check to see if the PDF is static/dynamic by clicking File=>Save As, and it should say static or dynamic PDF as file type.
iText will work with Static XFA forms created in LiveCycle. Dynamic XFA forms are not supported.
You can also submit XML data to a server side script and parse the XML data using C# system.xml.xmlreader.
Another tool that may speed the development of the project is:

Note: FDFToolkit.net utilizes iText Technologies.

Live Cycle Designer PDFs won't send over email

I recently created a few PDF forms using Live Cycle Designer, but when I went to distribute them via e-mail I ran into an issue. Every time I attached a PDF file, it isn't recognized by gmail. I just get the message below. It's only the Live Cycle Designer files - other PDFs send just fine. I tried updating my Live Cycle software, downloaded the new version of Reader, re-started the computer, etc. but nothing works. Help!
Please wait...

Reader X freezing and not saving a Live Cycle Acroform

Here is the story:
We created an Acroform template using Live Cycle Designer ES2 and loaded it to our system.
Users go into our web-based system and add data to certain pages there.
We then use iText to generate a PDF that mapstheir data into our template.
Users then save this form locally, add notes to it, save it, and then email it back to us.
Some users are reporting that Adobe freezes when they save and they lose their notes.
all users have adobe reader X
the form is reader enabled
this does not happen for everyone
We have been trying to troubleshoot in real time but are having a hard time diagnosing the issue. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I am also posting this in the reader forum.
Thanks,
Nicole
Further clarification:
so we don't actually generate the AcroForm from our code. The template is created (which is the form) and the fields that are created are in the template are AcroFields. So, in our code, we use iText's API to read those AcroFields so that we can put values into them. More specifically, we use the following classes to read those fields: com.itextpdf.text.pdf.AcroFields and com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfStamper and then during the generation, we write to these fields by calling the setField() method on the AcroFields object

I did not see the reader forum when I was mapping this topic, but I will move it (create a new one?) there. Thx.
I have Windows 7 Enterprise. I am not sure the other topic applies to me as it is referring to Premier Pro 2.0. I will continue in the Reader forums, though. Thanks again.

Live cycle ES2 can covert Frame maker file into PDF??

Hi All
good day!!
I have read that live cycle can covert farme maker files into pdf .
is it true . we are using live cycle ES2 and we are going to upgrade FM 8 (unix) to FM 11 .
can we convert frame maker files into pdf using Live cycle ES2????
you response highly appiciate!!
thank you
ramesh babu

Possibly, but ES2 is only specified to convert FM7.2 & FM8 files. FM11 might work, but you would have to test it and it's most likely not supported by Adobe in this mode. See: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/pdfgenerator/formats.html
If you only need to create PDF output from existing FM files, then Datazone's DZbatcher or Omni Systems fmbatch (part of the mif2go product) utilities may suffice.

Few questions about live cycle 9.0 es2. Opened pdf made from indesign.

I am new to live cycle. I took a pdf which I created in InDesign. I have some questions so I may finish editing it in LiveCycle. When I go to group text by dragging the mouse using the field tool, some remains in text boxes, other text remains in light outlined boxes. I would like it to all group and stay within one box for editing. Also, I see no white space to move the text to to edit it off to the right of the form like in InDesign. Nor can I find a way to create a blank page to move the text to to do more editing if I would like. I also did not see a duplicate spread option to create a copy of the page I am editing. There is blurry and clear text after I opened the pdf in Live Cycle. How do I make it all clear? This includes an eps logo at the top of the page. How do I do copy and paste in place. Can I insert a pdf page after I am done edit this pdf page in LiveCycle? CAn brcodes take on alphanumeric, not just 1's and 0's? Thanks.

No one?
Some questions are answered by someone else.
-The SLD is okay, it doesn't need to be configured
-The Adobe Lifecycle Designer is automatically installed when installing the Netweaver Studio Sneak Preview SP16
Just two more questions:
1)when I open http://server:port/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/TutWD_OnlineInteractiveForm/OnlineInteractiveFormApp
The PDF is shown but I can't use the buttons or the dropdown boxes.
I tried to install ACF but I have NW04s SP16, and the ACF is only SP11.
So when I install that, it only shows a blue screen with "I am the placeholder control"
When I install ACF SP19 for NW04, the PDF shows again, but I still can't use the buttons or dropdowns. Is this normal?
2) Do I need the license described below?

Main questions----
I need to create a form with a few fields (of which some fields are mandatory); then I have to use a few BAPI's to check these fields and to save the content in a CRM system.
I've installed Netweaver Sneak Preview, and configured Adobe Document Services (made ADSUser & ADSCaller, set IIOP etc to Autostart, Installed the credentials). The tests seem to work fine, but I haven't developed anything yet.
My questions:
1) What about the ACF?
2) Also the license described above?

Need to create pdf using adobe live cycle designer using function module

Hi,
Needed some help regarding creating a pdf at the backend. I will have function module in the backend which contains all my data and also an image represented as a Base64 encoded string.
What i need to do is pass this data onto adobe live cycle designer fromthe function module and create a pdf at a particular location. Please let me know how can we achieve this. if there is any function module to do the same. how does the function module i have defined call the adobe live cycle designer transaction or module to create a pdf. i am not an abaper so dont have much idea about the details.
Thanks.
Regards
Srikumar V

Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

Creating fillable forms with Live Cycle that can be emailed, saved, printed, etc. by anyone!

So I started using livecycle because the forms one can make are astounding, its a great program except for sending the forms out to be filled in especially to those only with reader. I've looked over a lot of past discussions and the answers seemed too complicated. Here is a workaround for not so computer savy folks like myself.
First, create your form, use everything the software has to offer to make your form exactly like you want and yes you can use the "submit by email button" that's what it's for.
Second, once the form is complete one seemingly complicated step to fix the "attach as pdf instead of xml" if your form keeps attaching as "xml" if it already attaches as "pdf" then skip the rest of the "second step"
     go to the top and click the "view" menu, then select "xml source"
     then go back to top and click the "edit" menu then select "find"
     type "xml" without the quotations and keep clicking "find next" until you see the "submit" line (eg. <submit format="xml")
     change the "xml" to "pdf"then go back to the "design view column" if you get a "parts of this or that cannot be whatever" message just click ok or ignore
Third, assumming you used the "submit by email" button like you should be the find that button and click the center somewhere, too the right a "field" box comes up
     enter your own email address, you can enter an stock email subject to or leave it blank
     also, a bit further down it says "presence" then "visible" I like to change "visible" to "visible (screen only)" this way it does not show on the printed version. That is one of the things i like the most about this program, you can put text boxes, signature boxes, any kind of
          box and make it visible, visible only on print, only on screen, etc. you just have to play around. It's nice to put a large text box with instructions for how the person should fill out and what to do that helps them and doesn't show up on print.
Ok, the above is a lot of words but if you print it out and follow step by step you'll see how easy it is and after a couple runs you won't have to look at your cheat sheet again.
Fourth, So, it was easy to figure out how to make a form the frustrating part was sending it out to be filled in save, printed whatever then sent back to me (now you). the problem is, the form has to be distributed to be approved so to speak. If it is just for one person that is no big
     deal, just first click "file" "save as" give it a name it reverts into adobe pro and asks how you would like to distribute, follow the instructions you send it to whomever you like they fill it out and submit it back because your email address is linked to the "submit as
     email" button. But what if its just a form you want on the company share drive anyone can open fill out, save, send to you or send to someone else, that's where it's tricky.
Fifth, Distributing to yourself so you can approve the form for world wide dissemination.
     Same procedure as above for the single recipient but instead of sending to someone else you send it back to yourself by entering your own email address again when it asks "how would you like to distribute your form--same as above"
     click "send now via email" enter your address they will return it to (but it's not they this time its really yourself)...follow the instructions, specifiy a generic folder that will collect data (you can delete later, you don't have to collect data unless you want)
     put in your email address as the recipient. change the stock email subject and message if you'd like, then click done, it will email you the form. close out the live cycle and adobe programs and go to your inbox (may take a min)
Sixth, open your attachment.(no remember you submitted the form to yourself but think of yourself as someone else like a customer) when the form is open you can enter stock fields if you like or do nothing...click the submit by email button, follow the instructions and s
     send it back to yourself again (don't get confused...it's really you as the customer sending back to yourself as the owner of the form) if you are a criminal think of it as like "laundering money through a bank" you are laundering the form through your own email system
     close out the form and go to your inbox again an open the returned form. now when you open it there is something new. there is a box that says "this file is a completed form (even though you didn't enter any data---it's a laundered form now) and leave it on the
     "add to existing data set" which is the one you created earlier in the generic folder....click "ok", now the form changes once again, there is a new look to the top, don't worry about it just go to the top right of the form and click on "options" then "save file as" give it
     a name again and remember where you saved it to. then close adobe and say yes when it asks you if "you want to save changes to your data set"....say yes!!
7th, forget the data set, no longer is important...find the form you saved and open it. go to the top and click the "advanced" button then "enable user rights in adobe reader" then click "save now" this is the final form so name it appropriately and place it where you want
     people to find it, they can now open, fill out, print, save as, email, whatever. The only downside is if they use the submit by email it automatically defaults to your email but when their email client opens they can delete your address and put someone else if they want.
thats it...lots of words but it really is easy after you do it a couple of time. the final downside, if the final form works but you decide to change anything on it with LiveCycle, you have to go back through all the steps or it will tell whoever opens it in reader that the original
     has change and they cannot do anything with it, but it's ok, make your changes or improvement, by now you are an expert at laundering live cycle forms, take you 5 min, no worries!
Happy Laundering!!

Hello,
- Which version of Adobe Live Cycle Designer should I ask for?
above 8, can recommend you to install 8.1
- The integrated install should be in my machine or in the server?
don´t understand/ haven´t heard about this
- Is this install integrated in the SAP install CD or should I ask for a new license?
you need no extra licence because you´re a Developer:))
I can recommend you get it yourself to speed it up. Find the newest GUI patch a the LCD yourself:))
use these:

Live Cycle for Dummies/Begginers???

Hello All;
I have been thrust into a new position within my organization. My new role is to learn everything I can about Live Cycle ES designer for custom forms, etc. I have never worked with Live Cycle. Google, Amazon and other searches for dummy/beginner resources yielded very dissapointing results. I did watch a couple of videos/presentations on Adobe TV (very cool because I love visuals). I am still looking and searching for dummy resources. Any replies to this would be greatly appriciated.

I just purchased the book called " Foundation Form Creation with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES". It has some cool tips and tricks, but I still need a beginner/dummy version which I have not found in any google/bing/amazon search. Someone can make good $$ by writing an idiot/dummy book on this issue or provinding interactive online tutorials (IF they market and price it right). I am also going through the "Help" and tutorial portion of the Live Cycle product on my machine.
I guess I am used to hands on training or interactive training or some type of dummy book. Now I am just resigned that there is NO such thing. I just have to play with it (and I have) and learn on the fly.
