Acrobat XI switch between form design & form view

I just started creating programmable forms in XI (I know how to do it in 8, but we upgraded!).
I've got the form done, but in order to work with form fields and such, the only way I can find to get back to editing it is to do the following.
With the form open in Acrobat, click:
Create
Create Form
From Existing Document
Current Document
click Continue
To go from editing to viewing the form, it's just a matter of clicking on Close Form Editing.
Is there an easier way to switch back and forth, from viewing into editing???
Thanks!

This is a good time to mention some other keyboard accelerators that were added to Acrobat 11 but aren't documented anywhere that I know of (apart from the A key). I think the lack of documentation is unintentional, or else I'm just not seeing it in the usual places. These are available in form editing mode.

  • When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

    When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

    You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
    By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.

  • Word Wrap Lost When Switching Between XML and Author Views

    I compose DITA topics in the XML view with the word wrap option selected. If I switch to the Author view to check something and then return to the XML view, my nicely formatted XML view with all the happy element-nesting tabs goes away. I wind up with an ugly chunk of flush-left code and text that's difficult to read. Is there a reason why FM can't remember the tabs and word wrap when I return to the XML view?
    I'm relatively new to using FM's structured side for DITA, so perhaps I'm missing the obvious solution to this problem. If you know the answer, I'd appreciate if you'd clue me in.
    Thanks!

    Sarah,
    When you switch from XML to Author (or WYSIWYG) view, FM does not "remember" the XML document at all. Instead, internally it creates a structured FM document with the same element structure (possibly modified by the underlying XML application). When you switch back to XML view, it creates a new XML document from the current element structure, thereby preserving any changes you made in Author View. FM is very conservative about writing white space to XML in order to avoid inserting unwanted significant space.
    If you do all your editing in XML View and want to inspect the formatted version of the document without making changes to white space, always make a copy of the XML document (with File > Save As) and use the copy in Author View.

  • JFileChooser detecting switch between "List" and "Details" views

    I'm customizing a JFileChooser and would like to provide users a longer version of the file names when in Details mode (Unix showing links).
    This might be accomplished using the getDescription method of FileView, I don't know. My FileView getTypeDescription and getDescription methods are never called but getIcon is. I added @Override annotations to all method, so I think I really am overriding them.
    Thanks!

    Here's a solution. I still think there should be a more official way of doing this.
    public MyFileView(JFileChooser chooser)
              for ( Component c : chooser.getComponents())
                   if (c.getClass() == FilePane.class)
                        filePane = (FilePane) c;
         @Override
         public String getName(File f)
              if (filePane.getViewType() == FilePane.VIEWTYPE_DETAILS){
                   return "Long";
              return null;
         }

  • Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

    I am running
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Access 2010 32 bit
    Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

    I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
    Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

  • MDIChildren flickering problem while switching between child form with dockstyle.fill and borderstyle.none

    I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
    through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request). 
    i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
    The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
    size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
    In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
    with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
    below is my code to show child form 
       MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
                                c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
                                c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
       c1.Show(); 
    how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
    I tried many options which i have described below
    1.double buffering.
    2.set style property to child form
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
          this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true); 
    3. override below method in each child form
    protected override CreateParams CreateParams
                get
                    CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
                    cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
                    return cp;
    4. override below method in each child form
      const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
            const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
            protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
                if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
                    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
                        return;
                if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
                    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
                        return;
                base.WndProc(ref m);
    but I didn't see any effects.  please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.

    Hi hardikvaishnav,
    This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see 
    https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
    You might use a user control or panel instead.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Always open files in code view (with option to switch back to design/split)

    I almost never use design view and it's very annoying that Dreamwaver CS4 can't seem to understand and remember that. I can be editing a file one day in code view, and when I open the file again the next day it opens in design view!? Is there a setting for this somewhere or is this a bug? Any suggestions for a solution?
    Someone suggested I add the relevant suffixes in the "Open in code view" field (Preferences > File Types / Editors) but Adobe has decided that if I choose to always open a certain file type in code view via this method, I will not be allowed to temporarlily switch to design/split view.
    Any other suggestions?
    Original thread (incorrectly marked as "answered")
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2399024

    All I can suggest is that you post an official feature request via the official form and wait for Adobe to implement something in CS6 or CS7 (assuming the feature set for CS5 is set in stone by now).

  • Diference between Forms 11.1.1.1.0 and Forms 11.1.1.2.0 ?

    Hello,
    What is the diference between Forms 11.1.1.1.0 and Forms 11.1.1.2.0 ?
    And is better to install with Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 10.3.1?
    Thanks

    From a Forms point of view, there really were no changes worth speaking of between .1 and .2. There were minor changes, but mostly changes that improved usability and stability. This release was actually intended to be a patch (bug fixes), however it was decided that some features (unrelated to Forms) should be included so a new release was created. There were also some technical difficulties around actually patching the .1 release, so again the need for a new distribution was required.
    As for WLS, the version you use is not optional. FMw 11.1.1.1 required WLS 10.3.1 and FMw 11.1.1.2 requires WLS 10.3.2.
    More information can be found in the 11.1.1.2 documentation:

  • Changing between forms
