Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Embed Fonts

I would like help imbedding fonts on LiveCycle ES2. I create forms on this program and when the forms are viewed on other computers on "Nitro" pdf reader, the fonts are substituted to whatever is available on those computers. I would like to lock the type in place so that it isn't changed automatically and you can't read half of the form. When searching help, it listed to use LiveCycle Administration Console to embed fonts by visiting:
(JBoss) http://localhost:8080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebLogic) http://localhost:7001/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
(WebSphere) http://localhost:9080/adminui (local deployment using the default port)
None of these work. If there is a way to stop the fonts from changing using LiveCycle, I would like to try. IT department has already looked in to all alternative fixes outside of the program.

Being opened on Windows computers on virtual desktops with limited font selections
THANK YOU!

FB 4 is not part of the LiveCycle installer. If you would like to customize the workspace or write Flex appications in LiveCycle you would need the Flash Builder to be installed. If you evaluate the software you can download a trial from the adobe.com homepage under software download for free.
If you purchase a licensed component from LiveCycle you will be entitiled to install up to 5 workstations with the FB 4 software
hope this helps

How to crop pages using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 PDF Generator and Acrobat 9.2 Pro Extended

Hi all,
I'm evaluating the possibilities of Adobe LiveCycle ES2.0 PDF Generator in order to convert on the fly (programmatically) MS Office Documents and Visio drawings into PDF files.
I'm able to trigger this process using the Webservices API (from within C#). However when generating the PDF files in this way, each and every PDF file has a lot of white margins around it as it is generated as an 8x11 inch page.
I have been looking in ways to crop these white margins from around the information, so that the PDF content is only showing the actual content (in order to be used as an image).
I found a way of doing this manually by opening the generated PDF file of LiveCycle in Acrobat 9.2 Pro Extended and using the Document > Crop Pages... option.
So my question is: Can this be done programmatically using Adobe LiveCycle ES (and/or API functions of the Acrobat tool).
The envisioned solution would run on a server (without interaction/monitoring requirements by a human).
Any input about this is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Raf

How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable. How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

Hi Alan,
TextField objects can expand dynamically. There are a few things that you need to do:
1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed. This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form. If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

Problem when open external link (Adobe LiveCycle ES2 workspace) with iView

Dear all,
I would like to know what EP doing when I use the iView to open a external application link.
We setup the link to open in a new windows, but we find that the application behaviour is difference compare to input the link into the brower directly.
The application is Adobe LiveCycle ES2 workspace
Any idea?
Regards
Bill

Hi all,
It is because my iView also contained in a page, and that page affected the result.
Problem fixed by link the iView to the role directly.

Task selection disabled in Adobe Livecycle ES2 installation

While running the configuration manager for Adobe Livecycle ES2 in the task selection screen few option are disabled why its disable/how to enable it?
I have installed weblogic and made the configuraions but i havnot deployed the EAR's .
Refer screenshot

Those options are not applicable if you choose to install to JBoss manually.
Please note that LiveCycle has separate install binaries for each of the three apservers it supports and separately for Windows and Unix. So at the trial download site (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/trial/), you will see options such as:
- JBoss Unix
- JBoss Windows
- WebLogic Unix
- WebLogic Windows
Please make sure you have the right binaries.

I have downloaded adobe LiveCycle ES2 trail version. Does this mean single cpu license version?

Hi, I downloaded adobe LiveCycle ES2 trail version. I need single cpu license. How could i get that one??

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.

Adobe LiveCycle ES2

I created an invoice in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 using a Windows 7 Professional laptop computer. I emailed the form and published the form but still can't access it with my iPhone. Am I doing something wrong? Why can't I use the form on my iPad or iPhone?

LiveCycle ES2 creates XFA forms which Adobe Reader for iOS cannot open. The dev team is looking into possible solutions, but there's nothing we can do for you at this time.

Adobe Livecycle ES2 and ES3

Good Morning,
After some tests on adobe livecycle ES2 trial version , I identified a problem with pdf transformation. When we flattened the pdf, the images dissapeared (probably due to remote path), and charts werent displaying properly. After that, we tried the ES3 Version , and it worked fine, without any of those problems. My question is, was that issue fixed in the ES2? Will I be able to flatten pdf's properly using the ES2 platform? Or do I need to buy the ES3?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
If you are willing to use ES2 and the issue is still not resolved , please provide us additional details and sample file if possible so that we can look in to it further

Purchasing model of Adobe LiveCycle ES2

Hi,
I am fairly new to Adobe LiveCycle to ES2 and I have the following questions.
1. Is it possible to purchase Adobe LiveCycle with individual modules only for example LiveCycle Forms ES2 instead of purchasing the whole suite?
2. Where can I find typical capacity figures for LiveCycle Forms ES2. I need to do capacity planning and need some base figures.
Thanks
Arjuna.

Yes you can buy certain individual components
as well certain components are offered in different suites (it is more cost effective to buy this way).
Regarding the 2nd query there are a series of articles written on the subject on the subject. As ES2 was just released I do not think you wil find much on that one yet but you can look at the previous release for those articles. All though there have been improvements ...those ones shoudl give you some sort of feel for what you are looking for.
Here is a link to the ES1 version articles .....

Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) now available

Adobe has released LiveCycle ES2 Service Pack 1. Service Pack 1 updates LiveCycle ES2 server components, LiveCycle Workbench ES2, LiveCycle Designer ES2 and LiveCycle ES2 SDK (updating both LiveCycle ES2 server and LiveCycle Workbench ES2 is required). This Service Pack can only be deployed on LiveCycle ES2.
Please visit, https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=lces2_sp to download Service Pack 1. Additional details on the contents of the service pack, including the issues it addresses and installation instructions are included in the Read Me file . A file extraction utility such as WinZip/gnu tar/unzip will be required in order to extract the files prior to running the installation.
The direct link to the Service Pack download is http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=lces2_sp.
You can also access the download from a few locations on LiveCycle DevNet pages:
1. Downloads tab: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/index.html?view=downloads
2. Get It section on the Get Started page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/get_started.html
Installation instructions availalbe in the Read Me.
http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/magic/livecycle/lces2_sp1/designer/sp_download_readme. pdf

Hi Iakov,
If you click the link above (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=lces2_sp) and click 'Agree' you will get to this page:
You can download the LS Designer ES2 SP1 from there as a single component. Because, like us you are standalone LC Designer ES2 (from Acrobat Pro Ext) without Workbench, you can just update the LC Designer ES2 component.
We have sucessfully installed the update.
Good luck,
Niall

Not able to decode barcode in adobe livecycle ES2

Hi, I have configured a Live cycle barcode form service to decode a barcode from TIFF file. It will decode the result in TEXT file.The Version used is Adobe LiveCycle 9.0. I am getting some Tiff files through fax channel. But my barcode decoder service is not able to decode the barcode.The barcode are in PDF 417 format. The same barcodes are getting decoded through BarcodedForms 7.5 ST. Please help so that we can decode the same using Adobe LC 9.0.

Abhi, when you were using the Barcoded Forms 7.5 ST decoder, were you using a version with a USB key plugged in?
In this older business model the barcodes on the form were encrypted as a licensing mechanism but could be decoded with the right version of the decoder. If this is the case then you will need to re-extend your forms with a new Reader Extensions certificate to ensure they are no longer encrypted. The new decoder can not decode these encrypted barcodes.

XSLT - Exception error when using XSLT 2.0 code in Transform on LiveCycle ES2

I'm new to using this forum, so apologies in advance in I have posted this to the wrong place.
I'm using Adobe LiveCycle ES2.5 (Jboss) and have written several complex XSLT scripts. All have worked, with the exception of the latest one in which I have to sum a repeating subnode that maynot exist and if it does, may contain a number or be empty. When I have used SUM by itself, it works perfectly if I all the nodes have values, but returns zero if any are missing or are empty. After some searching I found a solution (which I have made bold) in the fragment below.
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" ...>
<xsl:variable name="varUnitValueTotal" select="sum( (if(SOURCEUNITVALUE='') then 0 else SOURCEUNITVALUE) )"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I developed and tested this xslt in XMLSpy 2011 and it works a treat. However, when I invoke the XSLT using the Services\XSLT Transformation 1.0\Transform, I get the following exception error:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Could not find function: if
    at org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.jav a:936)
    at org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.j ava:774)
    at com.adobe.livecycle.xslt.XsltTransformer.transform(XsltTransformer.java:151)
Now as far as the documentation is concerned ES2 and better should be using XSLT 2.0. However to test a theory I changed the stylesheet version from 2.0 to 1.0 and re-ran the xslt in XMLSpy and it fell over at exactly the same place as the exception error. Which makes me conclude that LC ES2+ is still using XSLT 1.0.
Now I am stuck. The only work around that I can see is to attempt to do the calculation in the form (which sort of defeats the point of usng XSLT). That said I am reluctant to go down that path, since the maintenance overhead is going to be shocking if I have to apply to dozens of forms.
Is there a way to tell the Transform service to use XSLT 2.0 and if so, how and what are the settings? Or do I need to find and use a different transform engine, again if so which one should I use and what settings should I make at either JBoss and/or AdminUI level.
Really hoping that someone can help.

The XSLT service is configurable.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/LiveCycle/9.5/WorkbenchHelp/WS92d06802c76abadb-1cc35bda128261a 20dd-6750.html
1) Stop LiveCycle.
2) Add the .jars of your XSLT processor of choice to the LiveCycle server lib folder.
3) Restart LiveCycle.
4) Go to Workbench and stop the XSLT service. Right-click on XSLTService:1.0 and Edit Service Configuration.
5) Enter the factory name for the given XSLT processor. I think for Xalan 2.7.1 it is org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl (but I could be wrong).
6) Restart the service.

Memory Leak Problem at Adobe LiveCycle Server 9.0

Hi All,
We want to upgrade our system to 9.0. During the performance test we have found memory Leak problem at ALS 9.0. I explain the detailed problematic issue below. Is there any body who has any suggest?
We have Adobe Livecycle ES2 9.0 SP2 installed on WAS 6.1. But also WAS on Windows Server 2008 R2. We call java web services from .Net Web service for generating PDFs.
On Java side “com/adobe/internal/pdftoolkit/services/javascript/GibsonMemoryTracking” class is causing Memory Leak problem at server.
Our .Net Codes. I copied below. First we generate PDF then we convert this pdf to static pdf.
First We call the GeneratePDF function.
public static bool GeneratePdf(Document document, byte[] pdfTemplate)
        try
            //Create a FormDataIntegrationService object and set authentication values
            FormDataIntegrationService formDataIntegrationClient = new FormDataIntegrationService();
            formDataIntegrationClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Import XDP XML data into an XFA PDF document
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inXMLData = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inXMLData.binaryData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(document.XmlData);
            //Create a BLOB that represents the input PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB inPDFForm = new ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB();
            inPDFForm.binaryData = pdfTemplate;
            //Import data into the PDF form
            ALCFormDataIntegrationService.BLOB results = formDataIntegrationClient.importData(inPDFForm, inXMLData);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Pdf generated successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on generating the pdf";
            Utility.Log("GeneratePdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;
Then We call the ConvertPDF function.
public static bool ConvertPdf(Document document)
        try
            //Create a OutputServiceService object
            OutputServiceService outputClient = new OutputServiceService();
            outputClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(Settings.ALCUserName, Settings.ALCPassword);
            //Create a BLOB object
            ALCOutputService.BLOB inData = new ALCOutputService.BLOB();
            //Populate the BLOB object
            inData.binaryData = document.PdfData;
            //Set rendering run-time options
            RenderOptionsSpec renderOptions = new RenderOptionsSpec();
            renderOptions.cacheEnabled = true;
            //Create a non-interactive PDF document
            ALCOutputService.BLOB results = outputClient.transformPDF(inData, TransformationFormat.PDF, PDFARevisionNumber.Revision_1, false, null, PDFAConformance.B, false);
            document.PdfData = results.binaryData;
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Pdf converted successfully.", LogLevel.Info);
            return true;
        catch (Exception ex)
            document.ReturnCode = "22";
            document.ReturnMsg = "Exception on converting dynamic pdf to static pdf";
            Utility.Log("ConvertPdf", "Exception: " + ex.Message, LogLevel.Error);
            return false;

Memory Leak Problem which is viewed via wily tool:

Hi Mahir,
Can you attach the results of this performance test where we can see how GibsonMemoryTracking class is causing the memory leak issue.
Also do you see any stackTrace in the LiveCycle server logs related to memory / heap when you run this performance test ?
Thanks,

Need urgent help regarding Adobe LC ES2 JBOSS Clustering

Hi,
Am trying to setup a Horizontal Cluster setup(with two nodes) for Adobe LiveCycle ES2 with Adobe preconfigured JBOSS 4.2.1 and MSSQL 2008(single instance running on one of the nodes).
I have successfully completed till Installing LC ES2 Modules in both the nodes according to the "Configuring LiveCycle® ES2 Application Server Clusters Using JBoss" document.
But now the problem is about the next step, which is "Configuring LiveCycle ES2 for Deployment". The steps in this section do not clearly talk about where to run the configuration manager tool, i mean on which node of the cluster as two nodes are different machines in my case as it is a horizontal cluster. But at step 20 of configuring LC ES2(page 45 of the above mentioned document) there's note which says "Note: You need to initialize the database against only one server of the cluster. Subsequent steps need to be performed on only this server as well."
Now,
i) Does it mean that till step 19 i will have to parallely run configuration manager tool on both the nodes of the cluster and at step 20 i will have to completely exit the configuration manager tool on one node(Say node A) and continue the rest of all the steps(till 46) only in the other node( node B ) ?
OR
I will have to keep the configuration manager window open in both the machines and perform some steps say for example 20 to 25 only in one node(say node B ) and skip these steps in node A and resume from 26 in node A and complete till the end in both the machines ?
ii) At step 16 of the same section theres a note which says "Note: The paths for pop3.jar and the JDK must be same on all nodes in the cluster.". Where will the pop3.jar be ? I cudn't find it anywhere in the installation media or in the server folders ?
Please help me asap as am stuck with it for two days !!! Please let me know if you need any other details.
