Adobe Dynamic XML vs Static pdf

I created a form with LifeCycle Designer ES2, with actions.
When saved as Adobe Dynamic XML (pdf), it works flawlessly, however the file size is around 1 MB.
When I save it as Static PDF, the file size is reduced to 195k, but the actions don't work any longer.
I need the smaller file size because these documents get opened on mobile devices. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds here?
Either Static PDF with actions working, OR Dynamic XML with a small file size.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The issue is with the Fonts used inside the PDF. You have used, Impact, Calibri, Courier New along with native Myriad Pro font.
Since you have used fonts other than the native one, the form is by default embedding these additional fonts as part of the PDF.
Probably one of the font is occupying all the size of the PDF.
You have to change the font to either Myriad Pro or Arial which is light weight. (OR) you can make an image out of the Impact font text ("Notice of Violation" and "Officer's report must be sent to the safety office withing 24 hours !") and use it as an image inside the PDF.
To remove the Embed Fonts option, goto File -> Form Properties menu -> Save Options tab.
Below is the form with Embed fonts option UNCHECKED.(54 KB). But the special fonts might not display properly.

  • Why does my Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf)  submit as data.xml

    Hi, I have created a form and saved it as Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf)  the form used to submit perfectly via email but today it keeps attaching  to the email as in a data.xml format.  What would cause this and how do I fix it.
    P.S. I am a novice with Livecycle

    Check the properties on your submit button.  That is where you define the submission format.

  • Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - Adobe Dynamic XML Forms?

    How can you convert a dynamic XML form design in a static PDF Form design? I tried to save a dynamic XML Form as a static PDF Form, and then tried to preview it in Designer but the layout change scripts were working which should work only for dynamic xml forms and not for the static pdf forms. Please suggest another way to do it. Thanks in advance.

    You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
    Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

  • Converting an Acrobat 8  (Static) PDF form to an Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form

    We have a PDF file that started in MS Word 2007. The form was then saved as an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form. Is there a way to save this form to a dynamic XML form so all users can utilize the text boxes and drop down menus? At this time, only Acrobat Pro users have the ability.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    If the form has dynamic fields added to it then even users using the free Adobe Reader will be able to fill in the form. However, if it is save-off-line that you are looking for then you will need to extend the form using Reader Extensions.
    Can you be more specific about your requirements?

  • Help needed on Dynamic XML PDF

    Hello,
    I have an urgent need of help. We had a client requirement to develolp a custom form fillable Flowable template. We used adobe LiveCycle Designer to create a flowable form where fields can be suppressed\expanded to save space. LiveCycle form fields are databinded with the XML Schema at design time. After creating forms, data is prepopulated using the 3rd party ITextsharp for .NET dll using a FillXFA API. Filled PDF document appears fine with the data by adobe reader.
    However, after we try to either convert this form to an Image I don't see DATA in the form and only see the static template. Our requirement is to take the populated PDF and merge it with another static PDF document. I am new to the adobe livecycle forms and needs assistance. I guess the issue is that final populated form is still XML, So If I open this form that is prepopulated with data into LiveCycle I don't see the data and only template, But we can view the populated form fine with data through adobe reader. Even through windows file preview I only see template, but after I open the file through reader I see the data. If through some way we can convert this snapshot (dynamic pdf = populated data with template) to a static pdf or flatten out the dynamic pdf, it will suffice our requirement.We are sort of stuck from past 10 days on this issue. Any help\feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Please let me know if you need any input or examples. Thanks for your time.
    Thank You,

  • Load image dynamically by scripting to dynamic xml pdf, is it possible?

    Hi All,
    I've uploaded static pdf form to http://groups.google.com/group/livecycle/web/logo.pdf.
    The form contains ImageField.
    In the "docReady" event of the form I wrote a script:
    ImageField1.value.image.href="http://www.quicksoft.co.il/images/
    quicksoftlogo2.jpg";
    When the form is loaded the ImageField shows the image from the url
    I've updated in the script.
    Once the form is saved as dynamic xml pdf the script stop working.
    Is that means that it is not possible to load images by scripting to
    dynamic xml pdfs?
    Anyone familiar with workarounds for it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rbuz

    I got an answer from Adobe:
    Dynamic change of an image href has been disabled due to potential security issues. There are however a few workarounds to choose from:
    1. Embedding the images in the form as hidden objects. They can then be set to visible on initialize or clicking a button. This will affect performance, but if the images are in a compressed format, this can be minimized.
    2. Create a Web service interface to grab the image from wherever they are stored, base64 encode it and return it to the form. You would also have to update the bindings for the image field on the form (a one time operation).

  • Does Ipad adobe reader allow to fill a  dynamic xml form created on LiveCycle?

    The form was created using LiveCycle Designer ES3 for the purpose of being filled out on the spot at the client and then submitted as email attachment. However, Adobe reader does not seem to be able to open it giving the following error:
    "Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document..."
    The form is dynamic XML, and in the description of the Adobe Reader for the Ipad, it mentions that it is capable of opening forms under the Livecycle rights.
    However, if the Reader can not open dynamic XML's, how can I convert the form into a compatible fillable form for the Ipad?
    Thanks.

    LiveCycle Dynamic XML Forms are not supported in the Mobile versions of Adobe Reader.

  • Dynamic XML PDF crashing out in Windows 8

    Hi all -
    I created a PDF using LiveCycle Designer, saved as a dynamic XML form.  The form works perfect on any Windows 7 machine I have ever tested against, on machines using Acrobat reader X, XI, and all Pro versions (I've been building these types of forms for about 5 years now).  But on my wife's Windows 8 system with Acrobat Reader XI (latest update installed) it crashes out without an error message every time within seconds of opening the form.  It works perfect on my my Windows 7 Acrobat Reader XI, same update of the reader.  ANyone know what Windows 8 problem is?

    Does Adobe Reader work ok with other PDFs on the same machine? If you start it from START instead of double clicking and leave it, does it stay open?

  • Converting Livecycle Dynamic XML pdf forms to Word?

    How do I convert a dynamic XML pdf form created from Livecycle designer ES to Microsoft word? I have Acrobat X and when I click on File -> Save As - > and choose 'Save as type' as "Microsoft Word Document (*.doc)", I am getting this message: "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
    Is this because its a dynamic XML form with many javascripts in the form design? if not, what could be the cause of this that is making the file not savable to word format? All of these forms are created from Livecycle designer and I have tried using Acrobat X to convert them to word but it doesnt work.

    Hi,
    don't expect an exact result.
    The conversion always is an interpretation of the given layout and may be not perfect in all details.
    There is not script you can add to a button to automate this workflow, especially not  for Reader, as it doesn't have any export functions.
    I tested Adobe ExportPDF services, which are available in Reader XI, but those only export the shell PDF of a XFA form, so it's not usable for those PDF's (image below).

  • How to merge static pdf files and dynamic livecycle forms

    Hi, Steve.
    I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
    My question concerns accessibility.
    If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
    Any help appreciated.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms & Apple iPad

    Are Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms viewable/useable by Apple iPad and Apple phone or other mobile devices? 

    According to Adobe, you can with LiveCycle ES4. At least, that's how I read their blog post on ES4 Mobile forms support.
    Of course, there have been several discussions started about this in the Adobe forums.
    Re: Unable to view the form in Mobile which was created using LiveCycle
