Adobe LiveCycle Form Properties Target Version Issue

Hello,
I created forms with javascript, which it manipulate the form base upon users selection on different drop downs. I have set the form target version to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader 7.0.5 and above" but there are user using Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and 7.1.0 are experiencing problems. The form were either not working properly or unable to save their data. I did enabled "Extended Features on Adobe Reader" on Acrobat Pro 9. I tried to set target version to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader 6.0.2 and above" but the form will not work at all. The form works fine on Adobe Reader 8 and 9. Thanks in advance.

Paul,
I just have another user experiencing problems. I double checked their Adobe Reader version, which is 7.0.9. The issue they are having is that they can load, fill and save form fine but when they edit the saved form, they can't. Do you have any idea why they couldn't edit the saved form even I have already enable that feature?

  • Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.

    Adobe LiveCycle Forms not opening in Chrome.
    Today, I noticed that if the PDF from is opened from Chrome when it is rendered from an IIS server using the following methoed:
    Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
    Response.WriteFile(""...file-path-name...")
    Just Yesterday morning it was working fine.
    If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
    I reported this problem from Chrome using "Report Issue". I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
    Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Aodbe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working
    Tarek.

    UPDATE:
    This is a reported issue in latest Chrome Update:
    https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=333449
    This is an update to give more details.
    Following is the environment I use:
    Chrome Version (type about:version into your omnibox): 32.0.1700.76
    Adobe Reader: XI
    Adobe Acrobat 9.5
    Operating System (Windows 7/8/Vista/XP, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS): Windows 7
    Extensions (type Chrome:extensions into your omnibox): SnappySnippet 0.4
      - Adobe Reader Plugin is enabled.
      - Native PDF Viewer is disabled.
      - All other extensions are disabled.
    Note: I am rewriting the problem discription to clarify.
    Few days ago, I noticed that if the PDF form will not be rendered properly, if it is opened from Chrome over ASP.NET Website, and when it will be rendered from an IIS server using the following method:
       Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml"
       Response.WriteFile("...file-path-name...")
    I am 100% sure it was working fine before. Also, it is working fine from IE 10 and Latest FireFox version.
    If I open the PDF over a direct link to the PDF file, it will open fine.
    Note: I have disabled the built-in PDF Viewer, and Enabled the Adobe Reader Plugin in Chrome long time ago. I also reset the Chrome Browser, and still not working.
    When I navigate to the link using Chrome to render the PDF Form, I can see that Adobe is trying to open the PDF Form, and then I get a black Window.
    Sometimes the PDF form will open in the following cases:
    1. After waiting for several minutes
    2. When I detach the browser tab from main browser window
    3. When I resize the Window or Minimize/Maximize it
    I have no problem whatsoever when I use IE or FireFox.
    See attached snapshots for more details.
    Appreciate your help.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES Version 8 - res problem

    We have been using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES Version 8 to create forms that are used internally within the business, but also externally for customers to complete and email back to us.
    We haven't created new forms for a while, but now when we log into the LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server User Interface and try to res a form, it just times out.
    It gets to the process status, and then just stalls and says that it's downloading, but nothing actually happens. Any ideas on a fix?

  • How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

    Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
    The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

    Depends on your deployment pattern.  You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed.  If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Form Not Saving Data

    I have designed dozens of Adobe LiveCycle forms and have extended rights (enable usage rights in adobe reader).  My problem is that sometimes the form is not saving the data for end users.  One of my end users even updated Adobe Reader, but still nothing is working and he is becoming increasingly frustrated.  Any other suggestions.

    Make sure all your fields have a binding set even if it is just their name.
    For instance, click on a field that isn't saving, in the Object palette, under the Binding tab make sure the Data Binding is set to Use Name.
    Hope that helps.

  • Standards or Best Practices on limits to Adobe LiveCycle forms as data input tools?

    We are trying to determine whether we should be using Adobe LiveCycle forms for our user input pages, or use a web input form (jsf) that is part of the application server. The data captured would then be rendered in multiple output forms. (printing, etc) We've proofed that it can be done, but our experience so far is that to achieve the complex business rules, validations and calculations, there is a lot of javascript code to write. Has there been any industry assessment or best practices on determining when it is best to use a web form vs Adobe Livecycle form for capturing user input? especially when there is a lot of strict validation and business rule, backend data calls, etc?   Our input requirements also differ significantly from our output requirements- where we will definitely be using LiveCycle forms.

    It sounds like you need use the adobe schema in MII so the output of your transaction matches it.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Forms Versus Adobe Document Services

    I've read in the "Best Practices for Improving Performance in Dynamic PDF Forms" that Adobe LiveCycle Forms can explicitly off-load the job of rendering a form onto Adobe Reader.
    My question is, "Can Adobe Document Services do the same?" ADS is for users working in a SAP environment but it's suppose to have the same functionality as "Adobe LiveCycle Forms", so I'm hoping we'll be able to do this.

    Well, I know it's possible, but I have no idea how you would do it in that environment. You may want to speak to your SAP support guys for that.

  • IBM workplace forms to Adobe LiveCycle forms

    Hi
    I have been using IBM Workplace forms in my application for a long time and now want to migrate to adobe livecycle forms. Please can anyone tell me about how much similar are both? What all should i look out for while migrating. ?
    Regards
    Ullas

    We are also looking into a similar type of project. I'm not well versed in the IBM software, but I suspect there is no utlity or conversion tool to automate some of the transition work. (ie creating fields and other common objects)
    We are looking at re-desinging the forms from scratch.

  • Acroread 8.1.2 unable to process PDF 1.6 documents generated by Adobe LiveCycle Forms 7.0

    Our workflow uses LiveCycle Forms to generate PDF 1.6 documents with embedded JavaScript and XML. These PDFs work fine with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows; they display correctly, the interactive fields work as expected and the documents can be printed properly.
    However, acroread 8.1.2 on Solaris is not able to process the same documents correctly. When we run acroread headlessly as follows:
    cat xxx.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -level2 > xxx.ps
    the resulting PostScript file displays a message saying "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrate to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html"
    I have confirmed that we are using the latest version of acroread for Solaris.
    Does anyone have any insight into why this message is being generated by acroread 8.1.2?
    edit: acroread is able to process other PDFs as above without problem. It only has problems with PDFs generated by LiveCycle Forms which include embedded JavaScript and XML.

    Neha,
    Thanks for the response.
    We are running acroread headlessly since it is on a remote server that we access via telnet. Without an XServer session, I can't tell whether acroread is able to read and display the PDF files normally. However, we can view the PDFs with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows and the acroread -toPostScript command-line that we are using does work properly with other PDFs.
    I will email you a copy of a problematic PDF shortly.

  • Read/write xml data from/to adobe livecycle forms (pdf)

    Hello,
    I need some help reading xml data from pdfs created by Adobe LiveCycle and also writing xml data back to the form.
    The forms have been created using PROD LC 8.2 and in the future they will be created using PROD LC 9.5.
    I am using Visual Basic .NET to access the data programatically.
    Can anyone help me with some hints? A library, SDK? Any information would be very helpful.
    I am quite new with this Electronic Forms issue and I do not even know where to start.
    Thank you,
    Ionel

    Hi lonel,
    Do you want an online solution?
    I mean, it follows this workflow:
    1. The user will open the PDF by clicking a link, and a server-side program will generate the PDF and prepopulate it with data from some data sources, and render the PDF to the client (Browser),
    2. The user will fill the PDF.
    3. The user will click a Submit button and save the PDF and Data on the server.
    4. If the user wants to edit the Submitted Form, he will click a link to open the save PDF and possibly prepopulate some fields with data from other data sources, and complete the cycle of filling and saved the PDF and Data on the server.
    5. While the user is filling the PDF (inside a Browser), there might be a need to perform some lookup on the server, and update the form parts accordingly as a result of the lookup process.
    For 1-4 above, I have developed a complete base library using ASP.NET which helps you to perform the above.
    You can goto my Google Workspace and you will find a bunch of documents, sample PDFs, collections and VB Classes. To best view them, login using some Google Account.
    For point 4 above, one way to perform this effect, is to regenerate the required XML Data (which has the saved data before and the new lookup data), remerge the entire XML result with and empty PDF Form, and render the XFA (PDF Form) back to the client. But, if the PDF has one or more signatures, it will not work. So, in this case, you can update the Form Fields of a Saved PDF Form with new Data from the server, but the net effect is that you will have to loose all the signatures that were added on the PDF before.
    For 5 (above) there are 3 methods:
    1. Using a Web Service as a Data Connection. This is very easy if you have a traditional Web Service. I have used this method several times and will use it again if the need be. But, there is a problem. If the result of the Web Service is an Array of some Data, and you want to remerge the XFA to get the required effect after executing the web service ... and ... if there are some Drop-Down-List (DDL) fields, the bindings of the DDL Items of those fields will be lost. But, you can rebuild them (on enter event of the DDL Field)  if you have saved them in the embedded XML Data.
    2. You can update few (not many) fields while the PDF is opened (under the Browser via IFRAME) by passing the new field values using the URL Query String method. I have not done this, but I like this method, and I think it is cool. You need to write a server side code to ensure the the new filed values are passed back to the client using the correct URL with the Query String, and you need to write some javascript code inside the PDF to parse the URL and get the new field values and update them accordingly. See this as an example:
    http://www.halnesbitt.com/pages/pdfqs.php
    3. This method is very advanced and uses message communication ques between the Browser and the PDF (which is opened inside IFRAME element) using HostContainer object. This method will enable 2-way communication between the Browser and the PDF on the client side using javascript. I'd love to use this method one day. See example here:
    http://www.windjack.com/WindJack/Browser2PDF/brwsr2acroJS.htm
    I hope this will be of help to you.

  • LiveCycle Forms with JBoss version newer than 3.2.5

    I searched and found a post back in August stating that LiveCycle Forms will not work with JBoss 4.x.
    Has there been any update to this situation? Is Adobe planning to support versions of JBoss newer than 3.2.5?
    Thanks,
    Eddie

    No change at the moment. You still need JBoss version 3.2.5. JBoss 4.x support should be available in the future.

  • How to populate dynamic table in Adobe Livecycle form with cfpdfform?

    Hello all,
    after two days search on the above topic without results I hope someone here can help me.
    The problem:
    I have an Adobe PDF form created with Adobe Livecycle Designer that has a dynamic table inside it. The table Table1 consists of a Header Row with 4 cells of text and a data row Row1 with four cells each one having a Textfield Cell1, Cell2,Cell3 and Cell4.
    Table1 sits inside a subform mytable. The subform is made to flow and the Row1 has the Binding Repeat Row for Each Data Item checked.
    Everything is enclosed within the standard subform form1.
    Whe I use the following code, I supposed that the table should have two rows..because it is said it will be dynamic:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    </head>
    <body>
    <cfpdfform action="populate" source="test.pdf" destination="testout.pdf" overwrite="yes" >

        </cfpdfsubform>
      </cfpdfsubform>
    </cfpdfsubform>
    </cfpdfform>
    <cfpdfform action="read" source="testout.pdf" result="testout" />
    <cfdump var="#testout#">
    </body>
    </html>
    What happes is:
    The testout.pdf displays just one row,with the values 1,2,3,4 the second row is only visible when I export the data as xml but not within the PDF.
    Please can someone enlighten me?
    Thanks and regards
    Gilbert

    When populating your pdf fields, you can loop through all the records in a query like so...
       <cfloop from="1" to="#query1.recordCount#" index="i">
                <cfpdfformparam name="txtField1_#i#" value="#query1.Field1[i]#">
                <cfpdfformparam name="txtField2_#i#" value="#query1.Field2[i]#">
      </cfloop>
    This will handle two rows or thirty rows just the same.  In this case my fields in the pdf have the row # as a suffix.

    Please copy the following code in the click-event of the normal button!
    You have only adapt if the name of your DropDwonList is not the same ( in line 1 and line 4)!!
    If the user don't use the DD the buttons don't works. The button works if the user select any emal of the DD.

  • Adobe Livecycles Form Capabilities

    We are looking for a way to integrate sales forms into an Adobe Flex application, which will utilize data to fill in fields that are predefined.  Part of this deployment should include being able to bundle multiple forms and send them to recipients for signatures.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best approach?  It is my understanding that Adobe Livecycle can handle this, but can it and is it overkill?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have never such a big HCMFP. But I think there won´t be any limit for the features you need, infotypes you need to update, size of the form etc.
    I have developed forms with 30 pages at design time, 60 at runtime, and there was a small performance problem at ADS and another one when user was opening the form (there were tousands of lines of script code) and even that form solution was quite usable.
    As for the number of infotypes to update... because that is done in backend, I don´t think the form will have any problem with that and in the backend there won´t be any performance problem. The form won´t  be sending data there and back all the time, right? It will be a mass upload/ download of data, but not many times.
    Imho your requirement is not unusual and will work just fine, regards, Otto
