Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms & Apple iPad

Are Adobe LiveCycle Dynamic XML forms viewable/useable by Apple iPad and Apple phone or other mobile devices?

According to Adobe, you can with LiveCycle ES4. At least, that's how I read their blog post on ES4 Mobile forms support.
Of course, there have been several discussions started about this in the Adobe forums.
Re: Unable to view the form in Mobile which was created using LiveCycle
Re: I created a form using Adobe Livecycle, but I cannot open the form on Ipad or Samsung tablet pc.
Re: Trouble using form on Android and/or iOS devices
Re: help help...Making existing livecycle fillable form mobile(ios/android adobe reader) compatible
Hope these help.

Does Ipad adobe reader allow to fill a dynamic xml form created on LiveCycle?

The form was created using LiveCycle Designer ES3 for the purpose of being filled out on the spot at the client and then submitted as email attachment. However, Adobe reader does not seem to be able to open it giving the following error:
"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document..."
The form is dynamic XML, and in the description of the Adobe Reader for the Ipad, it mentions that it is capable of opening forms under the Livecycle rights.
However, if the Reader can not open dynamic XML's, how can I convert the form into a compatible fillable form for the Ipad?
Thanks.

LiveCycle Dynamic XML Forms are not supported in the Mobile versions of Adobe Reader.

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - Adobe Dynamic XML Forms?

How can you convert a dynamic XML form design in a static PDF Form design? I tried to save a dynamic XML Form as a static PDF Form, and then tried to preview it in Designer but the layout change scripts were working which should work only for dynamic xml forms and not for the static pdf forms. Please suggest another way to do it. Thanks in advance.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Converting Livecycle Dynamic XML pdf forms to Word?

How do I convert a dynamic XML pdf form created from Livecycle designer ES to Microsoft word? I have Acrobat X and when I click on File -> Save As - > and choose 'Save as type' as "Microsoft Word Document (*.doc)", I am getting this message: "Save as failed to process this document. No file was created."
Is this because its a dynamic XML form with many javascripts in the form design? if not, what could be the cause of this that is making the file not savable to word format? All of these forms are created from Livecycle designer and I have tried using Acrobat X to convert them to word but it doesnt work.

Hi,
don't expect an exact result.
The conversion always is an interpretation of the given layout and may be not perfect in all details.
There is not script you can add to a button to automate this workflow, especially not for Reader, as it doesn't have any export functions.
I tested Adobe ExportPDF services, which are available in Reader XI, but those only export the shell PDF of a XFA form, so it's not usable for those PDF's (image below).

Why does my Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf) submit as data.xml

Hi, I have created a form and saved it as Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf) the form used to submit perfectly via email but today it keeps attaching to the email as in a data.xml format. What would cause this and how do I fix it.
P.S. I am a novice with Livecycle

Check the properties on your submit button. That is where you define the submission format.

How can you update the content of a textfield in a dynamic xml form from MSAccess and VBA

I am trying to use the code below to update a field in a dynamic xml form created by Livecycle.
I can read the field content but cannot change it.
What am I missing?
Thanks
R
Sub test()
Dim oPDF As AcroPDDoc
Dim FileDestName As String
Dim jso As Object
Dim ofld As Object
    FileSrcName = "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ADOBE Forms\NoVB.pdf"
    Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set jso = oPDF.GetJSObject
    Set ofld = jso.getfield("form1.TopForm.Header.Subform1.Contact")
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
     ofld.Value = "HHH"
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
oPDF.Save PSsavefull, FileSrcName
oPDF.Close
Set jso = Nothing
Set oPDF = Nothing
End Sub

You need to research the difference between an AcroForm and an XFA form. You're trying to access a "Field" object, which is an AcroForm object. An XFA form does not have fields, it has nodes. The JavaScript you are using is specific to AcroForms and you are working with an XFA form.

How can i exclude information pages from being printed in a dynamic XML form?

Hi there,
i am building a dynamic XML form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2.
In this form there are pages with information that help the end user fill out the form, but to use - those who process the forms after they have been sent to us - these pages with information are irrelevant.
Is there a way to tell the form to omit these pages when printing.
Currently i have set the pages mentioned to be only visable on-screen. But doing so results in an empty page being printed (only the master page information is visable.)
Any ideas how i can solve this issue?
Thank you.

Create a new master page and set that page to visible screen only. Set your subforms to use that master.

Getting started with create dynamic XML forms

I work for a software vendor that is developing a C#.Net data entry system designed to replace a paper process. The original forms come from a 3rd party and are paper form, such as a tax form, loan application form, etc. The goal is to be able to enter data on the screen in a form that looks like something like the original form and then to print out the form that looks identical to the form on the screen.
The system is designed to allow the end user to create the forms. The process is that the end user creates the fields in the C#.Net application, then pick from those fields to build the form. During data entry, the fields are both pre populated by the C#.Net application and the results are saved back to the C#.Net application.
The data entry and print all needs to be embedded into the core C#.Net application and NOT rely on any outside systems like the LifeCycle system.
Is there some way to embed PDF creation in the C#.Net application (or in a traditional C/C++ application for that matter)? I am under the impression that is what dynamic XML forms is all about. Is dynamic XML forms an Adobe thing or an open standard?

You are funny I clearly state that I do *NOT* want to use LiveCycle Designer and you go tell me to post a question in that forum Hopefully someone else will come along which can actually address my questions

Converting an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form to an Acrobat 8 (Dynamic) XML Form

We have a PDF file that started in MS Word 2007. The form was then saved as an Acrobat 8 (Static) PDF form. Is there a way to save this form to a dynamic XML form so all users can utilize the text boxes and drop down menus? At this time, only Acrobat Pro users have the ability.
Thanks,
Tim

If the form has dynamic fields added to it then even users using the free Adobe Reader will be able to fill in the form. However, if it is save-off-line that you are looking for then you will need to extend the form using Reader Extensions.
Can you be more specific about your requirements?

I would appreciate information on how to download an updated Adobe Flash for my New Apple Ipad?

I have been unable to download a free upgrade for the Adobe Flash on my new Apple Ipad? Do I need to download through Cloud or just download as an upgrade on my Ipad? I apologize having to ask elementary questions but I am terribly Tech Handicapped. I have it on my net book but it would not work for my Ipad? I appreciate any information and all comments in relation to installing the proper download for my Ipad. I need this application but do not know which apps to select for the ipad?
I look. Forward to any assistance you may provide but please explain in simple terms or I will probably not understand the Tech talk:). I am a grandmother and barely getting by with all the new and wonderful technology. In fact, the only reason I purchased the Ipad, which I now enjoy more than my net book, is because I severely broke my right arm and wrist and cannot type. the touch pad and the easy use of my ipad has been a wonderful investment. I had no idea how enjoyable and easy to use, it was or I would have purchased it much sooner. I am now playing games and reading, even though I have a Kindle e reader. I never dreamed I would enjoy so many games. I am definitely hooked on my ipad. Now, if some of you Tech Savvy experts can help me, I will truly be grateful. I have found the best help comes from you. I have tried the support service but they do not talk my language, ha ha. BeforecI discovered you guys and learned you are a gold mine of information, I was unable to get the help I needed. I know I always get the best and most understandable help, without hearing the condemnation for being so uninformed. Now I am no longer embarrassed to ask for help!
Thanks and Best Wishes,
Scmoonbeam

Flash does not exist for iPad. Apples decision. any games or whatever must be downloaded as apps, which of course can be based on Adobe AIR/ Flash packager, but they must be self-contained apps, regardless.

ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
The online scenario perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
Please advise.
Regards.
Rohit

hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
Kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen

Dynamic XML Forms In Mars

Hi,
In the Mars Dev Guide, page 140 the note mentions that only static XML forms are addressed in the guide. Is there any available documentation regarding dynamic XML forms?
Thanks,
Kip

Although there are no examples in the guide, XML Dynamic forms are actually easier to make in Mars format than static. The easiest way to get an idea of what to do is to make a dynamic XML form and then save it in Mars format. The XFA form description becomes an XML file in the Mars package.
