Adobe LiveCycle Designer 10.0 insert QR-Codes

Hello Adobe Community,
I contacted an Adobe supporter via live chat two days ago. He said that the Designer 10.0 supports QR-Codes on PDF.
But before buying the expensive software, I want to make sure that it really supports creating QR-Codes (Data Matrix Codes).
I want to create these code fields as variable form fields and fill in data via a C# application and print it afterwards.
Is this possible with the Designer 10.0?
best regards,
David

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 Dropdown List Fill from a spreadsheet

I am a new user to Adobe LiveCycle Designer and have created a form which a manager is required to fill out for each of their employees.
I would like to create a drop-down object which will contain the name of the employees, so the manager can just pick the employee from a dropdown list and then fill out the evaluation. We have over 1000 employees, so I don't want to type them in one by one.
Please let me know how to link the list of employees to this form from another source.
I can put the list of employee names into an Excel spreadsheet or an Access Database.
I have tried following information posted in different places in the web, but I must be doing something wrong??
I would appreciate a step by step guide of instructions to help me accomplish this task.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Select the Drop Down object and add a sample name thru the object UI. Now view the "XML Source" TAB, it shows xml code similar to the image.
Now need to prepare all the names from the excell, place all names in one column of excell and copy paste the <text> and </text> nodes to the names(hopefully each column at a time). now need to copy all together and prepare final version to copy notepad (may require some replace all with spaces to format properly) then from notepad only update the above xml source . while going to design view it may pop-up warning message of changed xml, and click yes, now all names should be present in the dropdown. Hope this works.All we are doing here the form design is from "XML Source" tab insted of adding one by one from the object from design view.

Generate a subtotals table in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi everybody.
I'm having troubles with a template named Customer Invoice (of Application and user management > Business Flexibility > Form Template Maintenance), the case is I modified the template to show a subtotals table that I generate by code (FormCalc language) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the problem is that the code of template just works with some invoices. I don't know what's happening, I hope someone can helps me with this topic.
I'm attaching screenshots I hope it can help you to understand me, in the screenshots I'm marking the table I generated.
My code is (Language FormCalc ):
var longitud = tblTable.all.length
var aux
var acum = ""
var auxIndex = tblTable.all.length
for i=0 upto longitud - 1 step 1 do
 if(i == 0)then
 Table4.Row1[i].Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))
 Table4.Row1[i].CellMesure.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.txtQuantityUnit"))
 Table4.Row1[i].Cell2.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colDescription"))
 Table4.Row1[i].Cell3.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount"))
 Table4.Row1[i].CellCurrency.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.txtNetAmountCurrency"))
 Table4.Row1[i].Cell0.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colProduct"))
 else
 var bandera = 0
 for j=0 upto Table4.Row1.all.length - 1 step 1 do
 if (tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue ) then
 Table4.Row1[j].Cell3.rawValue =Sum(0.00, Table4.Row1[j].Cell3, tblTable[i].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount)
 Table4.Row1[j].Cell1.rawValue =Sum(0.00 , Table4.Row1[j].Cell1, tblTable[i].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity)
 if(xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> "" or xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> null) then
 Table4.Row1[j].Cell2.rawValue =concat( xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[", i , "].rowItem.colDescription")))
 endif
 bandera = 1
 break
 endif
 endfor
 if (bandera == 0) then
 Table4.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1).Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))
 Table4.Row1[i].CellMesure.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.txtQuantityUnit"))

 Table4.Row1[i].Cell0.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colProduct"))
 endif
 endif
endfor
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Sincerely.
Ismael Lara

Hi Ismael,
as far as I can see there might be a mistake in the code itself. Did you check the tablerows you compare here?
I think you might have unexpected values at here:
tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue
This might cause your unexpected result. Your results are never higher than expected, am I right?

Populate a PDF done with Adobe Livecycle Designer

I have a pdf from an institution and I have been asked to populate it directly with data saved in an excel file. I have found that the pdf was done with adobe livecycle designer and with that program I can see the name of the fields in the form.
The pdf can be found in:
https://sedeelectronica.bde.es/f/websede/content/SPA/Form_TRA_clientes.pdf
I have thought to use a VB macro in the excel file to populate the pdf. I have been searching on Internet but by now, I am only able to read the values of the fields, but I can't change them. I know that the code below doesn't work with XFA Forms, but I have read a lot of documentation and I can't find anything else.
Here is the code:
Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
If avDoc.Open(FileNm, "") Then
   Set pdDoc = avDoc.GetPDDoc()
   Set jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject()
jso.Getfield("FrmSolicitudTransferenciaEuros[0].FormContent[0].ordena nte[0].datosOrdenanteExterno[0].ordenante[0]").Value = "new value"
    pdDoc.Save 1, FileNm
    pdDoc.Close
End If
avDoc.Close (True)
Can anybody write an example explaining how to do that with XFA?
Thank you in advance.

You might want to instead use an XML schema to map cells in your Excel spreadsheet to fields in your form. Then you would just export the XML data from your spreadsheet and import it into your form to populate the fields.
That should get you started. Refer to Excel and LiveCycle Designer documentation for further details.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

I am currently learning how to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. My employer gave me the file to install a trial version along with pdf files with tutorials explaining how to use it. I am having trouble with the tutorials that involving scripting. Though I copy the script code directly from the pdf and follow the instructions. I have a hard time getting it to work correctly.
The one that I have had the most problem with is the tutorial entitled "Providing Interactive database lookup from forms." It can found at this address: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_db_lookup_tip.pdf#search=%22%22providing%20interactive%20database%20lookup%22%22 I followed the instructions to create a new data connection from the mdb file provided. There was a script to populate a drop down box that I was able to get to work after changing the syntax a bit. However the script that is on the button to execute the query I couldn't ever get to work.
Here are the instructions copied directly from the pdf.
13. Select the Refresh object. In the Script Editor, choose the following:
Show: click
Language: FormCalc
Run At: Client
14. In the Script editing area, type the following code:
if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = text
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.item(0).value = Concat(Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = , Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,)
//Reopen the Dataconnection
$sourceSet.DataConnection.open()
endif
Whenever I click the button I received the following error:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7250/errorbr6.png
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Also does anyone know of where I can get good information about how to script these forms to integrate with SAP? Thank you for your help.

Hi Jason,
as you are using the Adobe stand-alone Designer and tutorials, you should direct your questions directly to Adobe (probably on their website) as the samples shipped with the stand-alone product do not necessarily work in the SAP environment.
For SAP integration, you need to install SAP NetWeaver AS(demo versions, for example, here in SDN on the download site) and use the versions of the Adobe components delivered by SAP. SAP also provides tutorials for the Interactive Forms integration in Web Dynpro.
Start looking at this topic on the SDN homepage at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms where you will also find many links.
You can connect to SAP using the Adobe stand-alone products, too, but given Adobe's development partnership with SAP, this approach doesn't make much sense - and it is, as I stated above, a question for Adobe, not SAP.
Kind regards,

How to populate Adobe LiveCycle Designer generated PDF Forms with data from Database in Windows app

Hi
I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically. I am using windows application in C#.Net 2005 in which I want to retrieve data from database and merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.
How this can be achieved?
I searched a lot & I found that we can process the XDP file generated from PDF to acheive this. I created the XDP file out of the PDF template created in designer. But I don't know how to merge data from database into that XDP file in respective fields and again convert this XDP file back to PDF programmatically. Can anybody help me ? This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.

How to split a column in adobe livecycle design?

How does one split a column in adobe livecycle design. I have found that one can split a column after you have merged it. But I want to split two columns into four in the middle of a table. This can be done in Word. Is there a way even if one has to split each row? Does any one know? Like in the table below I would like to make Header 2 & Header 3, Rows 2 and 3 into 2 rows 4 columns.
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Thanks
Sheila

If you want to have 1 column to be split in 4 columns, you can insert a table with 4 columns inside a column cell.. If you mean to add rows and you want to keep those 4 columns, you should add instances of the row where you inserted the table with 4 columns...
Hope this helps!

Where is the Double-click Event in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi Experts:
I was trying to put code into a Double Click event in Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but couldn't find the Event. There is a "Click" event, but that won't do.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jen,
I was surprised the double click was missing but I use the following code in the click event, just replace the "[my double click code ]" and "[ my single click code ]" with your single and double click code. This code delays the single click event for 400ms to see if a second click is coming, you might want to play around with the 400ms as you have to balance the responsiveness of a single click with the double click.
if (new Date() - this.date < 400)
 app.clearTimeOut(this.timeout);
 this.date = undefined;
 [my double click code ]
else
 if (xfa.event.fullText !== "singleClick")
 this.timeout = app.setTimeOut("xfa.event.fullText='singleClick';xfa.resolveNode('"+this.somExpression+"' ).execEvent('click');",500);
 else
 [ my single click code ];
this.date = new Date();

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 Beginner

I am very much new to adobe form design tools. Now my company wants me to develop an eForms system using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.
The requirements are like this
All pdf forms will be saved in the file server.
Users can enter data directly into the fields of the form.
The form can capture data the user enters, and provide interactive feedback such as when an employee enter his roll number his department should be filled automatically in the form.ie form provide dynamic data
The form should be able to process the user data directly to a database.
Can anybody give some good reference so that I can start the project?
Thanks in advance,

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??
here are some link to reference

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes every time I open it :(

Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
Thanks

Shawn,
This may be a couple of known things; one is related to your specific installation (may have become corrupted if you did an upgrade from a previous version, especially if you upgraded from Beta?) Or, it may be related to a known SQL Server compatibility bug for which a hotfix will shortly be posted. (Problem with some Microsoft DLLs that get updated if you install SQL server).
If you have SQL Server installed, try looking on these forums for a patch that should be posted within the next 2 days. If not - please contact me directly, as I'd like to get someone on my development team to help look through your installation and see what the problem is, so we can fix this properly.

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?
Anne-Marie

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.

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
 I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
 I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
 Ari
