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,

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 und Office 2010

Hallo,

Word (Version XP oder höher) wurde auf dem System nicht gefunden.
OS: Windows 7 Enterprise
Office: 2010
Ich habe gelesen, dass die Version 8.2 vom LiveCycle Designer nicht mit Officie 2007 und höher kompatibel ist und dabei selbige Fehlermeldung erscheint. Habe ich hier dasselbe Problem? Wie kann ich es beheben?

Adobe LiveCycle Designer and send XML

Dear all,
I have developped a PDF with Adobe LiveCycle Designer that send an XML file to BW using a button Submit. But this PDF works when executed from the Adobe LiveCycle Designer software (tabpstrip PDF preview) but does not work when it is executed standalone (no logon asked.. )
Do you have some ideas to solve this problem ?
Regards,
Vince

Hi Nitesh,
I have installed ADL standalone on my pc.
When I execute my PDF from ADL it works : I click on a button and a logon screen on a SAP system is shown (like access on web report), I fill it and the XML file is sent and shown through RSA3 transaction.
But when I launch the PDF alone, I get an error message when I clik on the same button : 'HTTP 401 - Unauthorized'.
Do you have another clue ?
Regards,
Vince

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")

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Troubles between non-Unicode R3 and Unicode Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi experts,
I'm getting troubles while trying to make a New Data Connection to R3 from Adobe LiveCycle Designer. The error say's "Cannot proccess unicode RFC in non-unicode system (for details see note 875767#)".
I know R3 was configured non-unicode and Adobe is unicode, but non of them let me change this property even in Adobe options or in RFC options. How can I solve this problem without changing unicode R3 kernel configuration?
Thanks

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 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
