Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Keys Don't Nudge

Does anyone know why, on a form in LiveCycle 8.0, when you click on an object, and click one of the arrows on the keyboard, it goes the same distance as when you are holding down the shift key with the arrow? According to help, just using the arrow key should nudge the object a small distance, but that isn't happening.
Thanks!
Anita

Okay, I'm an idiot. After staring at forms for so long, that didn't even occur to me. That was it!
Thanks!

  • Uninstall Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    Hi to all,
    I installed CS3 Design Premium on my laptop, including Acrobat Professional 8. It installed Adobe LiveCycle Designer too, but I don't use it, so I want to remove it to recover HD space.
    I ran the installation DVD of CS3 to get rid of the application, but It doesn't show the option to remove only LiveCycle Designer and keep the Acrobat 8 Installation intact.
    Is there a way to remove it safety?
    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, Intel Centrino Duo processor, 1.5 Gb of ram.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Jaun,
    What you need todo is goto Add/Remove Programs.. and then click "Remove/Modify" Acrobat...
    In the configuration popup wizard
    --> click Modify application
    --> When the wizard gives the option to select components, deselect LC Designer
    Awesome... trust this will sort you out

  • 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 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 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.
    Regards

  • 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

    The user's assertion is surprising to me, but perhaps I'm missing something important. I thought the correct position was from the conclusion of my earlier post "it can't be done". Adobe state their Reader Touch doesn't support XFA (http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2012/12/13/adobe-reader-for-windows-8-tablets/). Unless (see that blog entry) you changed the type of form.

  • 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.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer and Office 2010

    Hi guys,
    I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer (version 9 / ES2). I try to open a MS Word file, but I receive an error message.
    Word (version XP or higher) cannot be found on the machine.
    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
    Office: 2010
    I read that the version 8.2 of LiveCycle Designer doesn't work with Office 2007 and higher. In this constellation the same error message appears. Is it the same problem on my side? How can I solve it?
    Many Thanks,
    untalentiert

    I'm running Win XP using Parallels 8... LiveCycle Designer is WIndows only and Acrobat XI will only import hyperlinks correctly from Windows versions of Office - which is why I use Office on both the Mac and Windows side, as well as Acrobat XI on both platforms. You can't use the Office plug-ins for Office using LibreOffice (or even Office 2011 for Mac) hence the need to open docs in Word on the Windows side instead of the Mac side.
    What I'm confused by is the pricing difference between the packages - I guessing that the $163 package is the 'full retail' and not an OEM or anything - but I don't know if an OEM would even work under a VM with Parallels...
    So I may end up with the full retail version, although I'd like to save the $70 difference if I can!
    Thanks,
    Clinton

  • Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 launches Acrobat 8.1.1 instead

    I use
    Vista OS. When
    Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0 is launched, the splash screen is displayed and then the main window pops up only for a split second before launching
    Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 Professional instead.
    I've tried
    Repairing Acrobat Installation under the Help menu in Adobe Acrobat, but it hasn't helped the situation.
    I had this same problem on my old computer running XP with Acrobat 7.0 Professional & Livecycle 7.0 and the problem was fixed by repairing something in the registry. The tech described that it had some conflict with some trial software but I do not know if that is the case in this instance nor do I remember the specific keys that were searched & deleted.
    How do I remedy this situation?

    I had the same issue. I have a brand new computer running Vista and the only software that I have installed is what came from the manufacturer and Acrobat 8 Pro. I downloaded the trial version of Livecycle ES over the weekend and think that may have been the problem.My system was running a bit odd with some forms I was working on Wed. Problem happened yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling that didn't work, tried different set up points. I finally caved and reverted the computer back to factory settings by the backup and reinstalled everything and am back to running normal.
