Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1 x ADS 7.0 SPS16

Hi guys,
I am considering update my Adobe Livecycle Designer version from 7.0.050519.0 to 7.1, but as our ADS server is running version 7.0 SPS16, I don't know if it would be a problem.
The forms that I create in this new version will run on our ADS?
Regards,
Douglas Frankenberger

Hi Douglas,
What version of NetWeaver are you running? Take this into consideration...
If you are on NW 2004, you need to be on either ALD 6.0 or ALD 7.1 depending on the SP level. If you are on NW 7.0 or NW 7.1, again it depends on the SP level you are on.
So, for NW 7.0 SP13 and below you must be on ALD 7.1. If you are on NW 7.0 SP 14 or above then you should be on ALD 8.0.
Keep an eye out for version ALD 8.2 which should be coming out soon, and look at the notes as to what SP levels they need to be on. For NW 7.1 I believe it will be ALD 8.0, but look at the notes.
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Kevin

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

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/<SID>/J<xx>/j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
Create a subdirectory called fonts below the
/usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/AdobeDocumentServices/FontManagerServicedirectory
Create a subdirectory called customer below the fonts directory created in the previous step
Copy your font file(s) into the customer directory
Restart the "Document Services Font Manager" for the changes to take effect.Use Visual Admin on the Adobe Document server
i.      Expand "Server à Services "
ii.      Restart the Document Services Font Manager
Also restart the application com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices

Embed webquery in PDF using Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Dear BI Gurus,..Pls. help !!!!
We have NW2004s with Portal and ADS installed
Is it currently possible to embed BW objects like query results and Documents into PDF, may be using Adobe LiveCycle Designer to design a pixel-perfect layout?
So for e.g. an A4 size PDF would have several query results and may be also a document or a chart , and these objects can be manually arranged in A4 size layout.
Is there an option to achive this by some kind of webdynpro programming?
I would give best points to you !!
Thanks in advance

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")

Problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
I am working with ADOBE Interactive form.while clicking Edit option on the Interactive Form UI Element I am getting the Following error.
I have registered WDAdobeControl.dll also.
Error:
Install SAP InteractiveForms - Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Did you install the Adobe document services on a Java stack and configure them properly? It sounds like that's missing. The ADS is teh runtime component you need to generate the PDFs.
For more information, check http://service.sap.com/adobe > Media Library > Documentation

Adobe LiveCycle Designer License terms and conditions

Hello Guys,
I am aware that Adobe LiveCycle Designer is available on SAP market place and following are the notes which has information about it.
962763 Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Installation
1121176 - Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Installation
But is there anything in writing who can download this software (ADS available in landscape ) and how should not ? (ADS not available). Or is it available to anyone who has SAP installation. I am looking for terms and conditions to use this product which is provided by SAP.
Nitesh

Hello, you can install it as a part of SAP gui, so I guess there is no extra licence needed except the one for running SAP gui. You cannot produce anything "immediately useful" with LCD (no Reader Right can be included as in the Acrobat which is paid). So I don´t expect any problems with the licence. BTW this is the first time somebody asks about that and there are like tousands of people using this software:)) Otto

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.

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

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
