Adobe restructuring, Paul Guerette, et al

As a lot of you will have heard, Adobe has undergone a reorganisation (http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/201111/110811AdobeFinancialAnalyst Meeting.html). The LiveCycle/ADEP team in Ottawa was hit badly by this restructuring, which means that we may not be seeing some of the familiar faces here or on other forums.
In particular, I know that Paul has moved on and that he would like people to be aware that he will not be able to respond to threads. In addition he will not get Direct Messages/Private Message or emails to the LiveCycle8 address.
Paul was a tremendous help on the forums and we all own him a debt of gratitude.

I took the recent "re-branding" of Livecycle ES to ADEP and the launch of Designer 10 as part of a strategy to extend and develop the product line. The restructuring seems to indicate the opposite.
There must be something on the horizon that has caused such a shift by a profitable company. Is it HTML5? or perhaps there is a different up-and-coming threat lurking out there? A patent issue? Whatever is going on, the restructuring strikes me as a defensive move. Is it time to rethink my my ongoing development ADEP forms? I don't know. I wish I knew the level of Adobe's commitment to it.
Paul is a knowledgable, giving resource who will be missed. I am confident that he will land on his feet. I wish him well.

Javascript problem for form created in Adobe Designer 8.2

I have redesigned the form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and tried to do merging of xml values into the form. But not successful. Below is sample of the javascript
trustedImportXFAData = app.trustedFunction (
function (xmlfilenamename)
app.beginPriv();
var re =".pdf";
var filename = this.path;
this.importXFAData(xmlfilenamename);
this.saveAs(filename);
this.closeDoc();
app.endPriv();
This code works find with form created in previous version but not in the new version. I believe it has something to do with the privilege but I do know where I should change.
For you information, I don't get any error from javascript.
Thank you

Hi Paul Guerette,
I just remembered. I better inform you this as well so you can see the real picture.
Desktop - OS / Vista Home
I created the PDF form using Acrobat Livecycle ES 8.2, Then I opened the form in Acrobat Professional 9.0 to enable the save features. Then I open in Reader 9 to make I will be able to save data. Successful
Laptop - OS / XP Professional
I have vb.net that calls the js passing xml as parameter.
jsCode = "trustedImportXFAData(""" + SOURCE_XML + """);"
Fields = formApp.Fields
Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(jsCode)
In this machine I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The javascript is inside the \Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Javascript\.
I wonder could this also be, because of the compatibility between 2 different versions.
Thank you

Problem running web service on Turnkey 8.0.1 LiveCycle server

Greetings:
I need assistance in locating a problem on a turnkey installation of 8.0.1.
I am trying to get a new installation of this code base running to provide an environment that matches some of my clients.
The server runs, and I can log into all of the Administrator pages, etc.
The scenario is I create a new process in Workbench 8, that for now just rights to the server log.
I create a new PDF document, and add a data connection to my WSDL.
I try to invoke the service and get the message "Error attempting to read from file".
If I have security enabled on the service via the AdminUI, I get no messages in the server log.
If I disable security for the service, I see the following in the server log:

Contribute CS4 sometimes closes...

I appreciate the help beforehand. Sometimes during the middle
of programs (particularly Contribute CS4); it sometimes freezes and
close with an error message of "windows is checking for a solution"
and that message often comes when I even close the program. This
has been mainly happening on my Adobe Contribute when I use it to
edit my site, here is a screenshot:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/63f2156f2a88d045a4ce5ea072735f384g.jpg
Other times it can happen (if i'm fortunate enough) when I
close the program. This sometimes happens in IE too so you can see
what I mean: Here is a screenshot of sometimes this type of error
after I close a program like IE:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/af69ad89ebc69f120ce1d75a6c102f6f4g.jpg
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciate it. Thanks once
again!

Using printers in process

Hi
I am trying to use output services to print a pdf by filling in the printerURI with \\server\printer as the URI.
From API on the internet:
printerURI
A string value that represents URI of the destination for the print output. The Output service sends the print stream to the printer that this URI points to. For example, \\PrintServer\Print1.
And i get the following error under failure folder of my watchfolder:

Hi
Paul Guerette :
I am using JBoss and I am invoking it using a watchfolder.
WorkflowUser :
I tried using the IP address. Still nothing
the problem might be that where JBoss run, the machine not on the domain so I tried doing from my laptop that's on the domain.(Drop in shared folder of the watched folder from my laptop and not from the same machine where JBoss runs)

Reader Extensions / Usage Rights

I followed the procedure in this paper from Paul Guerette to set Usage Rights to my forms, but at run time, it pops up a message:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document had been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
On the top of the window, below the Reader toolbar, it says "you cannot save the data typed into the form". There's no "commenting" icon in the toolbar, no digital signature icon either. Looks as if it's not Reader Extended.
How do I fix this?
my ES version is GM, no Service Pack not patches applied.

My RE was the last step as well, it was after the "Workspace enable form" step.
I have run another test. I removed the RE step, and it's working the same way as before; everything worked on a desktop that has the Acrobat Pro.
I then launched the form/process in Workspace on a desktop that only has Reader-8, the form got rendered in the browser, and I saved the PDF (a blank copy, no data).
Then I ran this PDF through the RE browser interface, and it was successfully Extended. When I opened the extended PDF, there's a Digital Signature icon, the "message" (which was entered when applying the rights) was behind the "i" button; but there was no commenting icon (unlike some other non-form PDF files, those files got an extra commenting icon). There was no pop-up warning.
Some other "form" type of PDFs also didn't get the Commenting icon after extended through the browser interface. I thought we could put some yellow stickers onto forms before? ES/Reader-8 doesn't allow you to do that anymore?
I have run another test, this time I removed all the scripts behind the Form:ready event, there's no other script. But it didn't help, I still got the popup warning. So, what could have caused it to think that the form got modified after the ApplyUsageRights ??? Why the Rights don't stick?

Unless I'm wrong Form functionality is great - printing is sad

I am using LiveCycle Designer to design a very simple somewhat interactive form - very simple .... few form fields ... uses only a single xfa.host.importData(); call to load the form fields for viewing ....
the user can print or save - to a static PDF image for archiving -
This is working and is all great - many thanks to Mr. Paul Guerette....
Now My user base - is happy and satisfied - but just one more thing they lack -
they don't always need or want to view the PDF - but simply want to designate that they want to print the file - and have the output go to the printer on command..
Is this where Adobe Livecycle Designer(c) screeches to a halt and can no longer deliver ?
What other (Adobe(c)) product options are there ?
Thanks

I am attempting to develop a more automated feature for users who dont always need to view the information before printing.
Basically, i show the user a checklistBox - and they pick the ones that that they want to view and the ones that they want to print from the list.
I am trying to process the choices made and automatically print the ones that they have designated for printing while the view the ones that they need to go over.
This will reduce the number of man hours required to process information -
I don;t see anything yet - that would let me do this -
Could I call the reader using command line arguemts ????
I thought that there was an API for Adobe that would allow me to at least automate the basic save, print functionality - but I cant seem to locate it
perhaps if i have active X capability - I could use a javascript active X call -
If you steer me - in some direction - right now - I'm sort of guessing my way around this problem

Few Questions on the Creative Cloud

I have read that the Creative Cloud Connection will be released within the next few weeks which is great. I have a few questions about file uploading and the Creative Cloud Connection program.
I have a folder which I will upload. The contents of that folder will be updated periodically locally. I want to the files in that folder to stay up to date between my desktop and laptop. Will the Creative Cloud Connection program be able to do that?
If a file is changed that is already in the cloud will the program recognize the change and keep the cloud up-to-date?
I guess a little more information about exactly what the Creative Cloud Connection program will do would be nice.
On the topic of storage will I be able to upgrade from the standard 20 gb of storage that is available when/if needed? And how much will that be?
One other question:
When will Lightroom 4 be available via CC and why is it not available since it has been released?

Creative Cloud Connection will keep files between your desktop and the website in sync. You will be able to add, edit and delete files from either end and see the changes reflected in both.
To see the the Creative Cloud Connection in action you can watch this video from Adobe evangelist Paul Trani http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-creative-suite-6-creative-cloud-launch-week/adobe-creative -cloud-tour-/.
There will be a way to get more than 20 GB of storage. The Adobe Creative Cloud FAQ http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html has a question and answer about this near the bottom:
Can I buy additional Creative Cloud storage?
Additional storage will be available for purchase later in 2012. If you have reached your storage limit, contact Adobe Customer Service.
Lightroom 4 will be available in a few weeks. Jeff Veen has also tweeted this https://twitter.com/#!/veen/status/200810541550288896. More from Jeff on what is coming to the Adobe Creative Cloud here in his Adobe blog http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

How do I make subform flow down page without overlaping text?

Here is my issue. I have a checkbox and if the user clicks on the checkbox a paragraph of text (which is in a subform) appears if they uncheck it, the subform of text dissappears. But my problem is if they uncheck it the subform dissapears which is what I want but there is a big gap on white space on the form so how do I get the other text to push up to the checkbox when it is not checked and move down accordingly when the checkbox is checked and the subform appears in the middle?. I am using FormCalc for the coding. My code for the checkbox in the "click" option is
if($.rawValue ==1)then
option1subform.presence ="visible"
else option1subform.presence="invisible"
endif

Hi,
'invisible' will make the object (subform) transparent, so that while the user cannot see it, it is still taking up space on the form.
Instead you can use 'hidden', which will not only hide the object, but it wont take up space either, allowing other object to move up and take the space.
HOWEVER, this will only work, if you have the page set to 'flowed', in the Object > Subform palette AND saved the form as a Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog.
Here is an example: https://acrobat.com/#d=IFY2ZMg4G9XZmJnJJNSw*w
Paul Guerette is doing an online talk on dynamic forms on the 30 November, which you should attend. Details here: Tech Talk: Developing Flowable Form Content
Hope that helps,
Niall

Selection missing in Dreamweaver CS6

I'm following the Adobe video tutorial by Adobe Evangelist Paul Trani, entitled "Getting Started with Creating Mobile Apps and Websites with Design and Web Premium CS6." Early in the video, Trani starts out in Dreamweaver with this:
File > New > Page from Sample > Mobile Starters > jQuery Mobile with theme (phoneGap)
When he gets to the last selection (jQuery Mobile with theme - phone Gap) it is one of five (5) sample pages to choose from in the video. In my copy of Dreamweaver CS6, however, I only have three (3) sample pages to choose from. They are jQuery Mobile (CDN), JQuery Mobile (Local), and jQuery Mobile with theme (Local). Missing from my selection but shown in the Trani video are "jQuery Mobile (PhoneGap), and jQuery Mobile with theme (PhoneGap).
At that point, I have to hit the breaks, and Trani just blows on by.
How can I add the two sample pages to my menu so I can continue this training video?
Thanks

@pk4ut You need to select "jQuery Mobile with theme (local). That's the same as using (phonegap). Thanks for watching!
Paul

Counting Checkboxes with different Names

I have a form that I am creating in Livecycle Designer 8.0 that has 100 checkboxes that the user selects from. I would like to have a field that counts how many check boxes are checked. What is the easiest way to do this?
Also, Do I have to add each field individually or is there a way to select them all and insert to the formula at once?
Thanks!

Big thanks out to Paul Guerette for helping me write the script for this. He gave me an option to do it as an exit event of the pages or on a button click. Here is the code for the button click:
- form1.Order_Page.Button1::click: - (JavaScript, client) ---
form1.Order_Page.Product_Table.Row3.Course_Quantity.rawValue = 0;
//app.alert("Page1 Exit Event fired!!!!");
//Get total number of element on Page 1 of the form
var allChildElements = form1.Course_Selection_Subform1.Course_Selection_Page_1.nodes;
var intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
//app.alert("The number of elements is: " + intNumElements);
//Loop through all the objects on Page1
for(j=0; j< intNumElements;j++){
//set the 1st object to a variable name
currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
//if the object is a field then test to see if it is a checkbox
if(currentElement.className == "field") {
//app.alert(currentElement.ui.oneOfChild.className);
// is it a checkbox?
if (currentElement.ui.oneOfChild.className == "checkButton"){
//Is the checkbox checked?
if (currentElement.rawValue == "1"){
//increment the Course_Quantity field
form1.Order_Page.Product_Table.Row3.Course_Quantity.rawValue = form1.Order_Page.Product_Table.Row3.Course_Quantity.rawValue + 1;
//app.alert("Page2 Exit Event fired!!!!");
//Get total number of element on Page 1 of the form
var allChildElements = form1.Course_Selection_Subform2.Course_Selection_Page_2.nodes;
var intNumElements = allChildElements.length;

Saving a secure PDF

Is there any way for a form user to save the PDF document once they have completed the form and make it secure so the data in the form can't be altered?

Hi,
Yes it is. Paul Guerette has an example for locking all fields: Re: Saving Fillable Form as non-fillable PDF
Users with Reader will only be able to save the form if it has been Reader Enabled first.
Hope that helps,

How do you create a new page when user checks a box?

I guess it would be a check box. I'm looking for a way to have the user select create a new page when the user runs out of space in the text box that is given. So if its possible is there a way to create a new page with a continuing text box when the user has selected the create a new page check box. Thanks.

Hi,
You can achieve this by just making some changes to the textfield (and the page layout).
First, select the textfield and then in the Layout palette, tick 'expand' height to fit'. When you preview the form, you will see that as you type information into the field, a scroll bar will appear. When you exit the field, it will expand automatically to display the full contents.
Now the problem will be that the textfield will expand over objects that are positioned below it - not good!
So what you need to do is set up your form for a flowed layout. First select all of the objects that do not grow in size and wrap them inside a 'positioned subform'. When you select the subform you can see this setting in the Object > Subform palette. You should name the subforms in the hierarchy. So you will end up with a positioned subform above your textfield and a positioned subform beneath your textfield (if you have objects beneath it).
Then select page1 in the hierarchy and in the Object > Subform palette, change the content to 'flowed'. Hopefully the layout won't change too much (because you will have most of your objects in their positioned subform).
Last step is to select the textfield and in the Object > Field palette tick 'Allow page breaks within content'. This tells Acrobat/Reader to split the object if it overflows onto a new page.
Now save the form as a Dynamic XML Form in the save as dialog and previewed it. Now when the textfield expands it will push objects beneath it down. Also when it gets to the bottom of the page, it will start a new page automatically and continue the content on the new page.
Here is an example:

Paul Guerette is giving an online tech talk on dynamic forms on the 30 November, which I would recommend. Details here:
