Adobe Barcoded Forms and LiveCycle Licensing

If you add a Paper Forms Barcode object to a fill-and-print PDF form using either Designer or Acrobat and the value of the barcode will change while opened within the free Adobe Reader then the PDF form you are distributing needs to be licensed with an Adobe® LiveCycle® Barcoded Forms ES license. I need to create a dynam ic barcode that users can change using Adobe Reader and print the form with barcode intact. It's for use in a pre-K school. Usage will be limited to 200 students per year.(Creating 200 forms that teacher's will fill out). I believe this is my solution, but pricing may be way too high. What are my options and have I been correct so far? There is no server, only a WORKGROUP environment. Thanks.
Tom: Ok, so from the Adobe side, yes, LiveCycle Forms is the only tool that can achieve this. It used to be called Barcoded Forms ES, now it is just Forms ES2. Unfortunately it is a server only product so you would need a server.
Tom: List price is around 85k, so I think it might be a bit more than you guys need unfortunately.
Tom: We don't really have a basic barcoded forms piece for smaller initiatives, unfortunately.
Visitor: Yikes!
Visitor: What are my options?
Tom: Do you absolutely need barcodes? Or could you do online fill in and submit?
Visitor: If I purchase Acrobat Standard(I created the form is Professional) for 5-10 people, that should do the trick as long as the Adobe READER user doesn't change the barcode information, correct?
Tom: Honestly, I'm not sure. Acrobat isn't something I am an expert on.
Tom: You could try Adobe Formscentral as well as using Acrobat.
Tom: Otherwise you'd have to try the Acrobat forums or user community as I don't have a lot of info about it.
Visitor: The forms are printed by the teacher/evaluator and hand-written to be scanned when completed(End of month, etc). A barcode decoder(Kofax Express) will read the barcode and rename the file according to the barcode data.
Tom: Hm, I think the Acrobat forums is your best bet, then.

Thanks for the great suggestion!
Can a Pre-K school receive an educational
institution discount on Acrobat pricing?

Adobe Muse Forms and GoDaddy

Has anyone come up with a solution for the consistent problem between Adobe Muse forms and GoDaddy hosting? I just spent an hour with GoDaddy and they said everything on their end was working. It was a script problem. I can't seem to get any answers from either Adobe or GoDaddy.

From your description is seems clear the issue is not with the Muse generated scripts. Those are identical regardless of what e-mail address you're sending to. If sending to your personal e-mail address works, but sending to an address on the same domain as the site does not, that most likely indicates one of two things: 1) The e-mail address is not setup correctly. (I assume that's not the case and you can send to the address from other sources without issue?) 2) Or, something on the server is configured to block e-mail from being sent to addresses on the domain of the site. Some hosting providers do this by default.
I expect this case is the latter and you have yet to reach a tech at GoDaddy who's familiar with this aspect of their e-mail processing via PHP sendMail.
The lack of SQL is a non-issue. SQL is not required for the correct processing of your form. When available SQL is used to limit the number of form submissions that will be accepted from a single IP address (site visitor) in a short amount of time. This "throttling" is performed to limit submissions from spammer's robots. Your form will work fine regardless of whether SQL is available. If you do receive spam from your form, adding a CAPTCHA is more effective at reducing or completely eliminating spam. Another less cumbersome method for site visitor's is simply to add a required checkbox will a label of something like "I'm a human" since spammer's robots will frequently not figure out they need to check the checkbox in order to get the form to submit.
There's nothing Muse can do to avoid a restriction on the server that prevents specific e-mail addresses from being sent to, short of providing or connecting to a completely different e-mail processing service than what's provided with your hosting. We may provide that option at some point in the future (for other reasons), but that's not an option right now.
If GoDaddy's support continues to point at Muse when told that sending to e-mail addresses not on the site's domain works fine and sending to addresses on the site's domain does not, and also told there's absolutely no difference in the PHP code for the two cases, then send me an e-mail and we'll talk to GoDaddy together.

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature

Adobe Interactive Forms and Digital Signature
Hi, I’ve a question if it works to digital sign interactive PDF documents created by an SAP BPM System? So is it possible just to sign the content, and not the interactive components like layout and buttons e.g.?
Thanks for your help.

Tobi

serverside or at the client??

Adobe Acrobat Pro and Livecycle

Hello,
just recentlty purchased my Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit (especially my interactive calculations), which I created in LIvecycle on Windows.
Unfortunately, I always just got the error message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form."
Unfortunately I am not using Windows any more, so was wondering, if there is any other way to edit my documents ?
Thanks a lot, Marc

No. You can only edit LC forms in LiveCycle, and it is not available on a
Mac. Also, even on Windows it's no longer bundled with Acrobat. You have to
purchase it separately (or request a download link if you had a previous
license).
I would suggest converting your files to "standard" Acrobat forms, if
possible.

Adobe Echosign, Adobe Acrobat v10 and LiveCycle ES/2?

My company is standardized on Adobe Acrobat and Reader version 10. I currently have Adobe Acrobat Pro v10.1.13 and Adobe LiveCycle ES/2. I would like to add signature fields to the bottom of the forms made with these two products. Is this possible, or do I need to or should I for any other reason, upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro v11 and LiveCycle ES/4?
Thank you for your help.
-David.

Hi dsh135,
Yes, you can add a signature field using Acrobat X, but please note that latest version is Acrobat XI (11.0.10) which has better and more flexible features than version X.
In Acrobat X, go to 'Tools> Forms> Edit' and select Digital Signature field and place it to the desired place on the form.
Then, you can open signature field properties and make settings as you desire.
Hope this information helps.
Let me know if you have further queries.

Anubha

Adobe Interactive Forms and WDA - Right click and submit

Hi guys,
We're developing some OnLine Adobe Intercative Form.
For each module we have one submit button that sends all data to SAP system.
Every module uses ZCI Layout and Native WebDynpro Library but when someone clicks on the submit button, also with right mouse button, it starts a submit event and after it opens a WDA's menu, from where, someone could accidentally hide a Adobe Form in his browser session!
So, I would like to know how we can disable this functionality and also how I can have a "hide reader toolbar" in my pallette inside Adobe liveCycle Designer 7.1.
Regards,
Antonello

Interactive Forms support two types of attachments:
1) Attachments as comments
- Interactive PDF Forms generated by the Adobe Document Services (ADS) in SAP turn on by default the commenting/annotations toolbar in Adobe Reader. You can then select "Attach a file as a comment" to attach a file anywhere on the page.
- This is available since the first release of Interactive Forms
- These attachments cannot be handled (e.g. detached) automatically on the server. You can use it to archive the PDF with the attachments or to open the form in Acrobat or Reader and open them on the client.
- Like any annotation functionality this does not work for dynamic interactive PDF forms (PDF forms which can dynamically grow/shrink in the client)
2) Document Level Attachments
- This is available with NW04S SPS10 and higher.
- To attach a document select Menu -> Document -> Attach a File in Reader
- Attachments can be manipulated/detached on the server using custom Java or ABAP code with the PDFDocument Object... Here is the documentation for the Java PDF Document Object (http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/index.html)
- This works for all types of PDF documents (dynamic and static)

Matthias

LiveCyle Forms and LiveCycle Designer - Merging data

Hello,
I´m using the following products:
Adobe Professional/Reader/Livecycle Designer = 8
LiveCycle FormServer (Forms) = 7.0
My questions are about using livecycle forms with livecycle Forms. I think this is the right forum because the functionality I´m getting seems to be more designer related.
The goal: merge data with template and execute some code (server side) while letting the template dynamic at client side.
1) Merge a xml file with a xdp file
The data is well merged. The code is executed at client and at server side.
2) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 8 pdf file
I get this message:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
I think this is "normal" because the version of LiveCycle Forms I´m using is 7.0. But if I want to work with pdf 8 files, what is the right version of Livecycle Forms? Do I need to whait until version 8? Where can I update (or download trial) of the latest versions: 7.1; 7.2?
Used:
RenderAtClient=true
FormPreference = "PDFForm";
3) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 7 pdf file
Doesn´t work: data will not merge; code will not run at the server and client side code will not work, too. However, if I try to merge the data with a dynamic pdf form created with livecycle designer 7.1, the data will merge.
In my opinion there are incompatible differences between how a liveCycle 7.1 pdf form and a Livecycle 8 pdf form (saved with version 7) is worked by LiveCycle Forms.
Despite this, there is some bugs in Livecycle Forms when working with PDF files. It woks well with xdp but not with pdf, maybe because a xdp is more simple to work with...
Is this solved in other versions? Where can I get them?
Thank you

Forms are forms. They don't change just because you upload them. While it has nothing to do with LiveCycle as such, FC should be able to open your frorm and convert it. In any case, ask such specific questions in teh relevant product forums.

Adobe Acrobat 9 and LiveCycle Designer

We have had some outside help creating forms and they have been using LiveCycle Designer and we would like to make some changes however since we only have Acrobat 9 we are not able to open the form to edit fields. When looking at the help menu in Acrobat is stays that You can use LiveCycle designer to edit forms that were created in Acrobat, however Acrobat can not edit forms fields that have been opened and saved in LiveCycle Designer.
With that said, do we have LiveCycle and we just dont know about it? Our outside help seems to think we should have it? does anyone know a work around? Thanks!

You should be able to open the form. As far as edits, you will have to go to the FORMS menu. The TOOLS>Forms is for the AcroForms, not LiveCycle. The FORMS menu is generally your entry to LiveCycle. If you do not have that, it is apparently an issue with Std (I thought they had added Forms to AA9 Std).

Web Dynpro ABAP, Adobe interactive forms and Drag and Drop functionality.

Hi Experts,
is it possible to use Drag and Drop functionality together with Adobe Interactive forms in Web Dynpro ABAP? I consider dragging object (like texts) to interactive form placed in Web Dynpro.

I think I understand but just to make it clear. I use texts created using function module "SAVE_TEXT". In my Web Dynpro I select one or more of them and use the button "insert text" (with appropriate functionality behind it) to insert them to specified location in my PDF form opened in this Web Dynpro. Considering what you said it is not possible to replace this "insert text" button by drag and drop functionality. Am I correct?
Btw great job with the book "Next Generation ABAP Development" Thomas!

Adobe Interactive Form and Web Dynpro

Hi experts,
I'm working with an standard Adobe Interactive Form (ISR_MSSRCF_SRQ3) which has a button (selectPosition) that is used to call a Web Dynpro (HRRCF_C_POSITION). This Web Dynpro is used to fill some forms fields (org. unit and position) as a search help. I don't know the way the Web Dynpro fills these fields, I don't find a context binding or so. Could you help to find the way these fields are linked to the Wed Dynpro? How does the Wed Dynpro fill these fields?
For this button, events in script command window are:
=>Mouse down.
//Set ISR_EVENT for BAdI processing in backend
$record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT = "USER_EVENT_POPUP"
$record.HRASR_FORM_WINDOW.DATA[*].FIELD.value = "HRRCF_C_POSITION"
=>Click.
//Trigger call to backend for BAdI user command processing
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
=>Ready.
//Toggle visibility to be visible during edit operations, ínvisible otherwise
if($record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_MODE == "DISPLAY" |
     $record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_FORM_VIEW =="ISR_APPROVE" )
then
     this.presence = "invisible"
else
     this.presence = "visible"
endif
Any idea???
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In se80 - select the WD application HRRCF_C_POSITION.
COMPONENTCONTROLLER -> method CALL_POPUP . Put a degug point and analyze.
Kind Regards

Adobe Interactive Forms and 4.6c

Hi to all,
I have to develop and adobe interactive form within a web dynpro project with SAP WAS 6.40. This interactive form have to call an R/3 system 4.6c (via RFC) to retrieve some datas. My question is: can I use interactive forms with a 4.6c (using JCO/RFC) or I have some restrictions?
Thank you very much,
Antonio

Antonio,
I cut and pasted the below response from the SDN FAQ on SAP Interactive Forms:
Can Interactive Forms work within, for example, an SAP R/3 Enterprise or 4.6C system? Or is it possible to run a stand-alone SAP Web AS 6.40 instance with a lower-release SAP system?
Interactive Forms is shipped as a part of SAP Web AS 6.40. SAP Web AS 6.40 can be connected to lower-release backend systems to exchange data (using RFC).
If you want to use forms in interactive scenarios, you can use technologies such as an RFC connection to exchange data between your application system (for example, SAP R/3 4.6C) and the SAP Web AS 6.40, which includes the required Adobe technology. Note that this does not apply to the use of Interactive Forms in the Internet Service Request framework, which is extensively used in SAP Manager Self Service (e.g. Personnel Change Request).

Adobe Interactive Forms and SAP PI

Has anyone used SAP PI to process offline Adobe Interactive forms?
Any java api available that will do the trick?
We can use ABAP mapping but want to avoid such a design. Java is the preferred method.
PS: I am surprised why there is no standard integration available for the offline forms with SAP PI.

SAP PI is intended to be used for system integration on messaging base.
It is not intended to process forms.
