Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 - Text fields are not returning data on email submission-Help?

Hello - I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 and have created a form with different fields to be filled out and submitted via email back to me using the standard submit by email button.
However, when the form is filled out and returned all the control field choices from both the checkboxes and the radio buttons are there - but nothing from the textbox fields is returned in the email submission. Those fields are not being returned.
also - once they are returned how do I ensure they will repopulate via the import data into the form functionality?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_designer_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

  • Lead's Indexedpick fields are not returning any data throught Cast Iron

    I am trying to fetch data from lead indexedpick4 and indexedpick5 off lead object through Cast Iron, no data comes back and I know there are data in those fields. All custom picklists in the same query are fetched correctly. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved.
    Issue was with the Record Delimiter. I had kept it as newline as I saw the contents in an editior where everything looked proper.
    The moment I switched to a much simpler editor, I could see the records ended with a different character which looked like a square to the naked eye.
    Upon applying the record delimiter as 0x'0a', the file translation started to work correctly.

  • 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,
    dev

    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??

  • Tax Code and Tax Amount Fields are not appearing

    Hi to all,
    While making Downpayment Request (F-47) Tax Code and Tax Amount Fields are not appearing in the screen.
    for more clarity...
    suppose PO is 1150 include all taxes ( Amount 1000+ Tax Amount 150)
    as per agreement with vendor we need to raise DR for 1150 and based on DR we will make downpayment to vendor (F-48)
    But in F-47 screen Tax Code and Tax Amount fields are not appearing.
    Could any body help me on this??
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards,
    Schilukuri

    why you are looking for tax code field, pay gross amount as per PO, same amount will update in PO history as well as Vendor account.
    Even if you find the tax code field and check the tax code check box, system will not calculate tax  at the time of down payment or down payment request.
    Please remember that by default standard SAP provides the tax code field in f-47 or F-48.

  • To active Text Formatting function and more tool bars in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11

    I have an original PDF form need to be edited to a fillable form, I can add Text Field into form as a fillable text field into this PDF form in the Design View, however I can not edit any of the  text , table and several other Objects.  I am an authorized to the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11 , How can I active my whole tool Bar to edit the PDF file? If the otiginal PDF is locked or read only for the above objects, how can I unlock them?

    Hi,
    if you import a given PDF file into Designer, it is displayed as background artwork in your form.
    Most tools of Designer then will be deactivated.
    There is no way to edit this PDF background in Designer, as the kind of PDF you create with Designer is completely different to the one you create with Acrobat or InDesign.
    You either can edit your PDF in Acrobat or you have to build a new form in Designer from scratch, I believe.

  • 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 Designer -  Content Area can not be re-sized

    I've installed Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1 and I am able to create forms using transaction SFP and print them.
    According to the Adobe documentation, I should be able to re-size the content area on the Master page.  When I try to do this, I am able to make the content area smaller, but can't make the area bigger.  I also can't move the content area down.  the application ignores what I do, but doesn't give any error message or warnings.
    has anyone else experienced this situation??

    Hi Chris,
    First make sure that you are in the Edit mode in transacrion SFP. If you are in Display mode the changes you make will not be saved. Also a message is displayed 'Changes in layoyt are not saved in display mode'.
    Next make sure that if you are resizing the content area for a particular Master page, you first need to select that master page from the Hierarchy view and then click on the Tab named Master in the Layout editor. Only then the changes will be reflected.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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")

  • Out of memory errors shortly after saving Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    Stuck in a loop.  I am being forced to give up on a pdf that I put hours of work in.
    I can open the document and work in it for a while, but one large text box will instantly crash the program if I select it.
    The name of the text box is very long.  This was named as the file was converted automatically with the acrobat professional forms wizard.
    If I could delete the field i would but as soon as I select it I am hosed.
    The debugger opens asking me if I want to open visual studio.  
    I have no choice but to just give up on all the work on this document.
    I am using xp and no logs are written to the event view or in the
    any files with the word log in it in the adobe folder.
    I have adobe livecycle Designer ES 8.2.1.4029
    I have similiar crashes with the CS3 version on my other pc.  for instance I have
    I have had to uninstall visual studio even to get livecycle to run. Also neither version will convert a word document.
    So I print word as a pdf, the open it in acrobat pro and run the forms wizard,  then I can convert that to LiveCycle.
    it works.
    I have to get this project done,  so I will go back to word and either reduce the textbox size,  and thankfully I can copy the work I do have out of the corrupt pdf. 
    My question is,  is there a way I can somehow delete the evil text box that instantly crashes the program.
    Wow.

    Hi,
    Can you attach the file to the forum and I can see if I can delete the text box here?

  • LiveCycle Designer 8 Saving Dynamic Field Problem

    Just updated to LiveCycle Designer 8 to get around the issue with my users not being able to save the PDF form data. Now my users can save the data using Acrobat Reader 8 but my dynamic fields are not working correctly.
    I have several fields that when you click a certain radio button or check a certain box, a previously invisible text field becomees visible. If one of those boxes is checked and data is entered in the now visible text field, then the users saves the form and reopens it, the data is saved but the field is invisible. Viewing the XML output confirms that the data is still there. When the form is reopened the checkbox that makes the field visible is still checked. But to see that data entered in the text field, you have to uncheck and then recheck the box to get the invisible field to become visible once more. Any idea on how to correct this "feature"?
    Thanks, Debra

    Hi Debra,
    To correct this 'feature', go in Form Properties > Defaults tab, set the Preserve Scripting Changes To Form When Saved option to Automatically.
    To correctly using Designer 7.x, youll have to write some script to achieve the same result. Currently, you have a script setting the fields state. All you need is to run the same script when the form is opened. In the example below, a form:ready script will execute the change event script when the form is opened. You can use the docReady event as well.
    For example:
    RadioButtonList: change event
    if (this.rawValue == "1")
    TextField1.presence = "visible";
    else
    TextField1.presence = "invisible";
    RadioButtonList: form:ready event
    this.execEvent("change");
    Hope this helps,

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 - Barcoded Forms Changes

    For those of you that have upgraded to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 you should notice that there are a few changes to the Paper Forms Barcode object interface.
    On the Field tab you will see that the label may be generated automatically or manually which before could only be generated automatically. The most significant change may be found further down in the new Symbology pull-down menu. Not only can Barcodes be generated in the PDF417 format, but now you can take advantage of both QRCode and DataMatrix. Depending on the region as well as vertical will probably decide which format you will be using on your forms but it may be worth experimenting with different symbologies and data capacities based on the data of your forms to see if there may be a better alternative.
    On the Value tab you will find a slight change to the automated scripting. Tab-delimited and XML may still be generated automatically but you now have the option to select whether or not you would like to include the field names and labels. The Include Field Names separates the field names by tabs and encodes them as the first line of the barcode contents. The values are encoded beneath them. Include Label encodes the label (shown in Field tab) as the first tab-delimited field in the barcode contents. This is a great way to include a form identifier as a standard in your data (a good best practice). Keep in mind that when using the default tab-delimited formats the Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder can create XML from tab-delimited data automatically which saves some time on the back-end integration effort.
    Again on the Value tab there is another new drop-down field named Collection. For those of you familiar with the Barcoded forms interface of Acrobat, you were able to select the fields that you wanted to be encoded in the barcode without having to do any custom scripting. The Collection interface basically provides you with the same functionality but under a great tree-view interface that allows you to manage the data that goes into your Barcode very easily, again, without custom Scripting.

    I am receiving the following error when I deploy the xdp form onto the adobe form server 6.0.

  • 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

    Excellent directions and help on this subject, Thanks Jared & Gretchen.
    I must be missing something critical >>>
    I have a large employee review document (34 pages) with 23 sections. Each section has a feedback area with expanding text fields, each of the sections is in it's own positioned subform. I have grouped the sections (and subforms) on each page into a flowed subform. The document itself is saved as an Acrobat 7 Dynamic form. My problem...the sections do not Flow. The expanding text boxes work just fine, but they do over-run the sections below.
    I have reviewed the comments above and I can get it to work with a single page document, just not with a large - long document, everything over runs.
    Any ideas? You will be held in very high regard!
