Adobe form distribution problem

Form created in LiveCycle and distributed with Adobe Pro...3 choices for distribution.
1) Through Acrobat.com (which stores the responses on Adobe servers)
2) By email (This is not an option for me because these forms can not invoke an email client on submission from the user. --> group policy locked-down machines.)
3) To an internal server
Option 3 works great for me as long as the person submitting the form is on my LAN. The problem is that we have users not on the LAN submitting the form. My repository for the responses needs to be accessible from the internet.
What I tired:
Shared folder on server. Full permissions for "everyone" just to avoid that as a problem during configuration....
Folder web shared by IIS.
Trying to use the distribution wizard to set this up for that folder. It wants a UNC path but that will not work for external users and no matter what http path I put in there is tells me it is unable to create the shared folder....
Obviously, if the forms can distribute and submit to Acrobat.com then they can submit to my own server. The question is how can I do this? Very frustrating.

Hello Gregg,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble distributing your form. However, I'm not sure I understand exactly what's going wrong when you try to use Acrobat.com to distribute the form; what happens when you select that option? It should be a mostly automated process, and there's a video on using Acrobat.com for form distribution here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0348
If you are not interested in using Acrobat.com for forms (it's not entirely clear whether you are trying to use Acrobat.com or another server), please post your question to the Acrobat forum; as this forum is for Acrobat.com questions, we are not able to help with questions specific to other Adobe products and services.
Here is the home page for Acrobat Help and Support:
http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/
Here is a link to the moderated Acrobat Users forums:

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,

Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms. We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms. The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form. If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine. However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off. It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form. We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time. We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before?
Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
Thank you for any help.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution. Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool. When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area." So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself.
After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
Thank you!

Hi Vara,
Try using Invalidate( ) method on the node which is binded to your adobe form.
lo_nd_nodename->invalidate( ).

Adobe Form Formatting Problem

Hi ,
I am printing a Custom Adobe Form(ZPTRV_EXPENSE_FORM), which is a copy of standard form(PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM), through PR05. The problem here is in the subform for additional trip information, where the comments entered by the user are getting displayed, is not getting frmatted properly.
for example.
2.Had a joint meeting with Mr.ABC, Mr.PQR, Mr.XYZ.
is getting displayed as
2.Had a joint meeting with Mr.ABC, Mr.PQR, M r.XYZ.
I have not changed any property of the said text area.
I found a SDN post which says it has been done in the interface. In this case, I am using a standard interface which does not
have any code in code initialization or Form routine.
Could you please guide me through.
Regards,
Sagar

Hi Otto,
First of all thanx for your prompt and kind reply. As I said the text hs been copied from MS Word. There are two boxes in the
text, wierd characters as you pointed out. But there is a part of text which does not hav those characters, yet there is a space
infact multiple spaces that appear in the preview.
I tried typing the part of the text manually in the comments box without the spaces. Then too, some of my words are split into
two or two words put togather.
I have also checked changing the font, but that didnt help. And the binding of the text field is set to 'EDITOR'. But if you check
the context, there is no element called 'EDITOR' not does the form interface have a parameter which passes the long text meant
for comments . That was the reason I was asking, what are the possible ways we can populate data in a form.
Regards,
Sagar

Acrobat 9 Pro form distribution problem (Enhanced Security?)

I am trying to distribute an Acrobat Pro form to several individuals who happen to be listed in my Outlook 2003 Address Book. When I type an email address into the "To" section of the form distribution pane, Acrobat automatically converts the email address to the recipient's name, which I can only assume is being accessed throughthe Outlook Address Book. Is there any way to isolate Acrobat Pro from my address book? Would changing the Acrobat preferences for "Security (Enhanced)" and un-checking "Automatically trust sites from my Win OS security zones" keep Acrobat from accessing my Outlook address book?

Is it tunred off for the Reader installation or in your Acrobat installation. It doesn't matter what your Acrobat settings are when it's used by someone else with Reader.
Recent versions of Acrobat/Reader do not cache form data in the way mentioned by GKaiseril. This used to happen when a form was viewed in a browser.

Adobe Form - Priting problem

Hi,
There is requirement to print an adobe form in Black-white format and as per user's request we changed the company logo as well from colored to black-white. Now as per requirement that form is printing black-white only but the issue is, it is using color cartridge.
we checked all printer configuration but was no use and user want to print it as mono rather that colored. Printer is printing correctly for any other black-white document.
Please let me know for this how could I change the layout/border color (shown below) for objects used in this form like we changed the logo. Also plese let me know whether this issue can be handled in other way.

Srivijay

Hi Srivijay,
I guess output type configured for adobe form will help you.
Have checked it with basis guy.

Hiring Adobe Form-Performance problem

Hello,
We have developed a hiring Adobe form using HCM F & P. It has 8 pages, many user events. It gives the user option to enter
all infotypes used in hiring process. Now the issue is with the performance. The form is taking around 40 seconds to launch
and to do any user event. Let me know if you know of any method to improve the performance.
Is it possible to work with the form section by section, initially first page gets loaded, then on click of a button next page is loaded
like that. And when we do user event is it possible not to submit entire 8 pages to the backend and only submit the
required section.
Let me know if you have any idea.
Thanks!
Aravind

I completely agree with Chris.
We developed a very complex AIF that would have been much easier to develop in WDA, but the PM wanted a nicely designed UI for the users. We spent months on this process, when the same thing could have been done in a few weeks. W
There are a number of limitations in AIF that are available to you in WDA - it will make youre life simpler to take advantage of them and keep AIF for something less complex

Adobe air distribution problem. (AJax / html)

Hi guys,
I have written a sample application in javascript (ajax) and xhtml and successfully published with adobe air. The system works fine but my question is when i distribute the application (.air) I had to include all my javascript , images, xhtml. I dont have any problem in sending the images with .air package but sending javascript files is imposible that is be because, since im using ajax to show all the details I have to use full URL for all my ajax calls.
so someone who knows about abobe air can use those same URL`s and create their own air application and steal my details from my server. (adobe air allow cross scripting)
As a solution I have seen many applications (ex: ebay desktop) uses flash logins and check the login using flash and redirect user to a seperate page if the login is successful. so in this case i only need to package my .swf file since redirection will handdle from the flash end.
Im not a flash developer so I wont be able to create the whole application using flash. thats why im looking for a javascript / html solution to overcome this problem.
so my questions are,
1. Is there any way i can publish my .air application without packaging js files?
2. Is there is a posibility which i can use a flash login and if the login success open up a new window with the actual application and close the login window? and while logging off viseversa
I hope you guys undestand my questions and any help highly appreciate it.
Thanks in advanced,
Best regards,
niroshan

There isn't any way to distribute an HTML/JS AIR application without the HTML/JavaScript source files. Because JavaScript is a run-time interpreted language, the HTML and JavaScript code has to be available at run time. The obvious downside to this is that the source code of your application is available in plain text on the users' hard drive.
If your main concern is protecting data stored on the server from malicious users, the username/password strategy is probably a good one (and you wouldn't need to implement in using Flash at all -- you could do the same thing in HTML/JS.). What you need to do is:
Set up your web server so that the user has to be authenticated with the web server in order to get any data or perform any of the calls (from ajax or anywhere else).
When your app first starts or at some point, have a login form where the user enters their username/password for your serve. When you make the ajax calls to the server pass the username/password along (or use a session cookie, or some other similar technique for maintaining authentication).
That way, even if an attacker knows the url of your server calls, they can't actually use them unless they have an account with you.
From a practical standpoint, you should protect your server by requiring authentication in any case. Otherwise your only security defense is the fact that an attacker doesn't know your exact url. But there are ways to learn urls (for example, by monitoring network traffic) that make it so it isn't too hard for someone to discover the urls even without your app's source code.

Adobe Forms render problem

We are implementing MSS at a customer and want to use the standard HCM
Forms and Processes. If we execute the Java Web Dynpro that launch the
HCM Forms and Processes (sap.com/paasrprocst/com.sap.pa.asr.procst.appl.StartProcessForManager)
the PDF that is expected to render just dont render. It is as if the PDF
component is hanging. The is how ever 1 PDF the renders but it is not a
interactive PDF(Request for Transfer (Enhanced)). All the other standard PDFs never appears. Every time this happens there is the same error in default trace file.

Adobe Forms distribute problem

Hi
I am trying to distribute a form using the server method to automatically collect responses - using Adobe XI standard - whilst the option to collect by server is there the collection method is set to manual - meaning that all responses are collected via email and have to be clicked individually - painful! The option for delivery method is set to manual and I cant see a way of changing it - any help would be magic!
Thanks

Form distribution problem

I have created a pdf fillable form, and would like to distribute it where the user would fill it out, then print it and send it to my office with other materials in a packet. I do not want the responses to come to me or any other specific person or server or to collect them in any fashion; I do not want the header on the form to say either "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit form to return the completed form." or "Please fill out the following form. If you are a form author, choose Distribute from the Forms panel in the Tools Pane on the right to send it to your recipients". It should just say "Please fill out the following form." How do I just have a form without the response mechanisms?

It will only say "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit form to return the completed form." if you put it through the Distribute Form process in Acrobat. So just don't do that. If you need to allow Reader users (prior to 11) to save the filled-in form, just Reader-enable it. If you need help with this, what version of Acrobat are you using?
It will only say "Please fill out the following form. If you are a form author, choose Distribute from the Forms panel in the Tools Pane on the right to send it to your recipients" if it is opened with Acrobat, but not all versions (Acrobat 9 Yes, Acrobat 11 No), and that will only be possible to do if there are no security restrictions.
