Adobe livecycle comb fields caching

Hello,
I have created a subform where info will be added into comb/text fields.
The problem that I'm having is that the comb fields are caching the previous entries.
Is there a setting that I can use in the design mode (or elsewhere) that will cause the text/comb fields not to cache?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
It's been a while since you posted this message, but I'm experiencing the same problem. Did you found a solution for it?
Thanx

Custom Library 'Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Fields'

Hello,
I'm just reading through the document 'creating_workflows.pdf' of Workflow 7.0. In the chapter about designing forms for workflow it says that the custom library is available with the SDK, however I was not able to locate the library. There are also some workflow fields in Adobe Designer 7.0, but I think they are for older workflow versions, because the field names don't match the ones in the documentation ('creating_workflows.pdf'). Can somebody help me locate the library or tell me which fields to use for my forms?
Thanks!
Regards, Karin Garreis

Hi Karin
The library is actually in a file called Adobe LiveCycle Workflow Field.xfo which is part of the Workflow SDK. You will find it in:
\LiveCycleWorkflow7_SDK\Misc
See:
Mike J. Potter, "Adobe LiveCycle Workflow 7.0 SDK (38.3 M file)" #5, 20 Sep 2005 12:48 pm for info on how to get the SDK.
In order to install this library, you need to create a new Group in the library palette, and then add this file to the directory that gets automatically created to hold this group. The usual location for new groups is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Designer 7.0\EN\objects\[grpname]
I hope this helps...

Adobe LiveCycle Access Field in Subform inside Master Page

Hello,
I have a Dynamic PDF document created in LiveCycle 8.2 with the following structure
topmostSubform
          (Master Pages)
                  Page1
                        sfHeader
                               txtName
When I try to assign the value, using C# language, to the txtName I'm getting a null exception.
It looks that my code can't recognize the hierarchy structure.
I tried the following options and none of them worked
topmostSubform[0].#pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].pageSet[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].sfHeader[0].txtName[0]"
Any advise will be truly appreciated!
Thank you.

I'm using Dynamic PDF Merger by ceTe Software.
Unfortunately this product is not good to work with dynamic pdf forms.
I also tried to use iTextSharp. So far no luck.
I would truly appreciate if you can give me any other suggestions.
I also wonder if there is an option to have a dynamic pdf files it should be the way to map data to the fields on this form?
Thank a lot for your help!

Comb Field issues with Adobe Acrobat 7

I built a form with ES and one field is a comb field with 7 spaces. When the form is opened in current versions of Reader it is filled in with no problem but many of our customers aren't current. When someone with Adobe Reader 7 opens the form it automatically enters a '0' in the last space in the comb.
Has anyone encountered this problem or have any idea what the issue could be and how it might be fixed?
Thank you.

Thank you for your response but I can't open the attachment. I get this error message.

Extension fields in forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and SAP Cloud Application Studio.

Hello everyone,
I am new to using SAP Cloud Application Studio and am currently working on forms.
I have created some extension fields in the dunning letter form message type : FormDunning Notification.
Upon activating, the extension fields do show up in backend form data type structure.
However i am unable to find the fields in the front end form under Form Template Maintenance.
I have tried opening form with open editor as well as downloading template and opening in Adobe LiveCycle Designer .
After creating the data connection in adobe ,the first field (ProjNumDun ) do appear in correct place in data view.But i cant find the rest of the fields.
Any help,guidance and suggestion will be really appriciated.
Thanking in advance,
Kamakshi

Kamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField")

DateTime field in forms using Adobe LiveCycle

Hi Everyone,
Iv'e created a custom report and has difficulty in formatting the DateTime fields where I wanted to show "EST" timezone but the report is setting it to "GMT". I'm not sure where to configure the timezone in Adobe LiveCycle when the data that I'm using already has an EST timezone. This is the pattern that I'm using date{MMM D, YYYY} time{h:MM:SS A Z}. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 floating fields

We have several PDF templates for our customers. We created an editable text field with a lot of default content in it. The customer is able to modify this content.
Is it possible to add floating fields in a Text Field? (in the object - value - default). I know it is possible to add floating fields into a Text label but as far as I know it is impossible to edit Text labels in the PDF template.
Any advice/information would be nice!

Hi,
I have same issue mentioned below. Any idea on how it can be resolved in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
We use iText as well to generate pdf from forms created through live cycle designer.

Adobe Livecycle Submit Problems

I am using Adobe Livecycle ES. Putting a button on a page to submit the form.   However although it appears to save the settings it sends the form to a different address and in a different format. I can even start a blank form set it to email address NEW and submit as XML and when submitting it sends to email address OLD and as a PDF.
Where is it picking these settings up from ? ? ?

Hi All-
I have an extremely frustrating problem. I have designed a form in LiveCycle ES 8.2.1 for users to fill out and submit via xml. I would like to use Acrobat Pro 9.1.0 to track and collect responses from this form. When I test the original form, the submit button works perfectly and it opens my email client (Groupwise) attaches the xml and populates the To, Subject, and Body fields perfectly.
The problem comes when I try to use Acrobat to distribute and track the forms. It creates a filed called 'form_distributed' that adds a bunch of code that completely screws up my form submission. When the form_distributed is filled out, and the user clicks the submit button, Groupwise 6.5.7 is invoked, but I get a 'Check Names' dialog box that states
"Windows Messaging does not recognize "1. Double-click the attachment".
After I click cancel on that dialog box, the JavaScript Debugger shows:
Exception in line 63 of function top_level, script XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
RaiseError: One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
Doc.submitForm:63:XFA:form1[0]:p1[0]:Button1[0]:click
===> One of the specified recipients is not resolvable.
The distributed version has this extra code inserted
< script contentType="application/x-javascript">//@@SUBMITURL "mailto:[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false"
and further down....
// submit the form
if (bContinue) {
    var rawURL = "[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false";
    var submitURL;
    if (app.viewerVersion < 9.0)
        submitURL = "mailto:" + rawURL;
    else
        submitURL = "mailto:" + escape(rawURL);
    currentDoc.submitForm({
        cURL: submitURL,
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"
    });
}
Are these lines of code always inserted when the form is distributed?
How can I distribute and track these responses?
Does this tie in to Acrobat.com, and is that required to gather responses in this method?
It seems to be reading
"[email protected]?subject=Submitting Completed Form&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n"
as the first email address and then getting hung up on the body and interpreting it as an incomplete email address.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Questions regarding Adobe Reader Extensions for Adobe Livecycle.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Adobe products, having just started to use Adobe Livecycle over the last couple of weeks. I've produced a set of interactive forms for field engineers to use. When completed, they will submit the xml data via email. However, there will be numerous occasions where they will need to stop in the middle of data collection and come back at a later point to finish, hence the need to locally save the information before submission.
I understand this is where Adobe reader extensions would come in, unlocking this functionality.
At the moment, i'm a bit of a loss on several points regarding how reader extensions work and i was wondering if anybody could fill in the gaps:
1. Are they seperate modules that bolt in into the main Livecycle application?
2. As these forms will be used off line, i would like to set the permissions to the pdf locally. From what i read, Reader Extensions is a server product. Is this correct, or can i use Reader Extensions to set these permissions before publishing the adobe form?
3. Where can i get hold of Reader Extensions and how much do they cost? I have been reading information on similar topics on this forum (dating 3-4 years ago) that say reader extensions are comparitavely expensive to a Adobe Pro/Livecycle licence. ($50,000 upwards) Is this correct? If so, is there a cheaper alternative to achieve the same outcome?
I hope someone can shed some light on these points!
Thanks in advance.
Rob

Reader Extensions can be bought as a module in LiveCycle. There is a subset of RE functionality that exists in Acrobat. The ability to save locally is part of Acrobat. In both cases you woudl RE the form before distributing it, hence when the user gets your form they are ready to go. You can download a trial version of the server product. As far as pricing goes you woudl be better to talk to an Adobe salesrep as there are discounts for certain situations as well as different pricing options. If you decide tp gp the Acrobat route you ar limited, by licence, to distribute your form to a max of 500 users.
Hope that helps

How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

Hello all,
after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
The problem:
I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<cfpdfform action="populate" source="test.pdf" destination="testout.pdf" overwrite="yes" >
<cfpdfsubform name="form1">
<cfpdfsubform name="mytable">
    <cfpdfsubform name="Table1">
      <cfpdfsubform name="Row1">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell1" value="1">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell2" value="2">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell3" value="3">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell4" value="4">
      </cfpdfsubform>
      <cfpdfsubform name="Row2">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell1" value="5">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell2" value="6">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell3" value="7">
        <cfpdfformparam name="Cell4" value="8">
      </cfpdfsubform>
    </cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfsubform>
</cfpdfform>
<cfpdfform action="read" source="testout.pdf" result="testout" />
<cfdump var="#testout#">
</body>
</html>
What happes is:
The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
Please can someone enlighten me?
Thanks and regards
Gilbert

When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
   <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
            <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
</cfloop>
This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same. In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

Forms pulling Multiple Records from an XML Schema and XML data files - Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I built a form in Adobe LiveCycle with an xml schema and data file. The problem is with how the form renders the xml data file.
I have a statement element that consists of about 6 fields (statementID, statementName, statementAddress, statementCountry, statementZip, statementDate, etc) of data in the schema that allows for multiple iterations - so one xml data file can contain multiple statements. These fields allow for null values.
But here's the problem: When any of the statements - say statement 2 of 6 - has a null value in one of the fields, if the xml data file doesn't have a placeholder
(example of placeholder: <statementName type="String"/> )in the xml for that field, my form pulls the field value from the NEXT statement.
This corrupts all the rest of the statement records, as this field is shifted up for all the rest.
I know that in the past I haven't needed a placeholder when a field was null. But I'm wondering if when the data allows for multiple records the xml data file needs to generate the placeholder. And where is the problem? In the Schema? The xml data file? My form? And the 64-thousand-dollar question: How to fix it?

If your <statement> element is the one that repeats, it should be bound to a subform with the binding string of something like $.statement[*]. Then in that subform should be your fields and they should have bindings of $.statementID, $.statementName, $.statementAddress, etc.

What are the programming language used in adobe livecycle development?

hi friends,
I am a fresher.I woundered what adobe has done in livecycle import option.so i want to know wht is the programming language used and how they read graphical fields like line,circle.

Programatically, Java is the language used to implement business logic that would plug into LiveCycle. I believe you can use C# for older versions. However, that information is irrelevant to your problem.
That being said, it's typically not advisable to be modifying PDF files generated by different applications (iText, Adobe LiveCycle, etc.). While both documents may render out as "PDF", they will not be created internally in the same manner. I would advise that it may be easy to add PDF files generated by other applications as attachments, they are not going to be easily handled unless you address each specific document in a custom manner.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it came with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. When I create a new document with Acrobat 9, it takes me right into LiveCycle for the design, which I do not mind. However, the properties for each field are very limited in comparaison with Acrobat 9. So, the file I create with LiveCycle I want to be able to open again with Acrobat 9 and reach the field properties with Acrobat 9, but the system does not allow me to do that. What am I doing wrong?

To force uppercase, enter the following in the change event as JavaScript (make sure JavaScipt is selected in the language dropdown list at the top right):
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
As you can see in the picture, there are many palettes available on the right side to edit fields. Hope this helps.

Problem with expanding textfield in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I've got an urgent problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I really could use some help. The problem is that I'm trying to get my textfield expandable, but whatever I try, it's not working. What I'm trying to get done is that you can fill in a textfield, and when there is more text than the size of the field, the textfield expands to make the text fit in the field.
I tried a whole lot of things:
placing the textfield in a subform
expand to fit (height)
allow multiple lines
allow page breaks
flowed/positioned
etc.
The strange thing is, that no matter what I try to adjust, I can't change anything in the pagination tab. Maybe that is the problem, but I don't know what to do, to change that.
In the examples of Adobe itself (Purchase Form) is an example of a textfield that sort of behaves as I want it to, BUT the problem is that that textfield in the subform has to be triggered to appear by a button (add comments) and that is what I don't want. I want the textfield to be visible from the beginning. But in that example you CAN see the pagination tab and make changes in it.
I searched a lot in the Adobe Helpfiles of Designer, and I even bought and read/studied the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer', but still I'm not able to get this done.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sterre

I am creating my first .pdf with no training. I first converted a word doc of our form into a .pdf. Modified everything and thought I was the "bomb" for figuring it out. Then I tried to use the form and where I had "allowed multiple lines" I realized that it would allow that but not display it or print it except for what was showing.
In researching for a solution, this site said to use "expand to fit". After much frustration I realized that this feature is only available if you created the form from scratch in adobe.
I have figured out, somewhat, how to create the form and get the field to move with the text but I need the entire form to adjust to the input. Can't have one specific field expand into the rest of the form.
I did some more research on this site, and it looks like the solution has something to do with 'subforms'. No idea what to do.
If anyone knows if there is a way to do this with a converted doc (since I already have that completed) I would GREATLY appreciate it. If it isn't possible, could someone walk me through how to do it or provide a reference for a "barney style" walk through?
Appreciate ANY assistance you can provide. THANKS! Guess I need to sign up for an Adobe Pro class. BTW I'm working on LiveCyle 8.0

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.
