Autosave pdf contents in livecycle es2

We have requirement to auto save pdf data in the database every 10 minutes.
We are using livecycle es2 and we do not have reader extension.
We are opening the form in web browser and some how we need implement this. Is there a way to acheive this?

Hi,
You can convert pdf to tif or other image formats by using LaunchPad and selecting Export PDF. You can also create a process with the service called toImage, found under Common->Convert PDF.

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.

Submit Email PDF in Acrobat X Pro / LiveCycle ES2

I'm pulling out my hair trying to get this form I created to email back the filled out pdf. I've spent a couple of days searching like crazy trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
I created a fillable pdf form using LiveCycle ES2. I created the button to submit via email. In the submit to URL field I have: mailto:[email protected] The Submit As: PDF. ( we do not need a subject line) I saved the document, opened it up in Acrobat X Pro, went to File, Save As, Reader Extended PDF, Enable Additional Features, clicked Save to Enable Usage Rights for Reader. (that's what every other search has said to do)
So, I send the form via email attachment to a co-worker to test it out. We fill out the form, click the Submit button... and nothing happens... again. The prompt asking which email client to use pops up, but that's it. I'm not sure what else to do. Can someone help please?!?!?!?!?!?

We'll need more information, such as OS, version of Acrobat/Reader is being used, what email client is being used, etc. Email is generally unreliable and not secure, adn whether is works seamlessly depends on whether the client machine is set up correctly.
Submitting to a web server is a more reliable approach that can be made secure relatively easily.

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

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Is LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or ES1?

Hi,
I am confused with all the LiveCycle release conventions.
Is LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 LiveCycle ES2 or ES1?
I am using Designer ES8.2. I manually added some PDF metadata to XDP form in the XML Source tab. After the XDP form gets redendered to either static XFA PDF or dynamic XFA PDF, the PDF metadata I added manually is lost. I was told there is a known defect with LiveCycle ES1 and it has been fixed in ES2. So, wondering whether ES 8.2 is ES1 or ES2?
Thanks!

Inserting pdf content to database

Hi,
I am working with adobe live cycle and using web service i am inserting pdf content to db , Live cycle is installed in my machine so the data insertion is possible from my machine ,but i am trying to insert data from other systems in our network it is not working , adobe reader 9 nstalled on these machines .Is necessary to register any other dll to GAC for working with this on client machine if so pls specify the dll. I am waiting for ur reply ,pls reply as soon as possible

Hi,
I suspect that you also have the full version of Adobe Acrobat on your PC.That is why the data connections work on your system.
Unless you Reader Enable your form with LiveCycle Reader Extensions Enterprise Suite, then web service calls / data connections will not work in Reader.So if your users have Reader the data connections will not work on their PCs.
Here is a summary of functionality in Acrobat and Reader.
Good luck,
Niall

Is there a difference in generatePDFOutput between Livecycle ES2 (9) and Livecyle ES (8)

I know that we are way behind in terms of Livecycle ES versions, but we have recently installed Livecycle ES2 (9.0) on a set of new Websphere 7 servers. All seems to be progressing will in terms of systems integrating with the new servers, but we have run into an issue with the way PDF documents are rendered in Livecycle ES2 (9.0)/WAS 7 versus Livecycle ES (8.0) / WAS 6.
We have a few XDP templates that have Rich Text Fields with a Data Format of XHTML that are not rendering the same when using PX measurement.
EXAMPLE: 
Using the API generatePDFOutput under Livecycle ES (8.0) the text is indent and all displays well in the rendered PDF. But, in Livecycle ES2 (9.0) there is no indention and the text is aligned to the left margin of the field.
Here is the data that is used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
<RTF_Field>
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This is a Rich Text Field.
It is filled using XHTML data.

The following should be 3 indented bullets. The first is indented 15px and the other two are indented 30px:

•   Bullet 1
º   Sub-Bullet 1
º   Sub-Bullet 2
</body>
</RTF_Field>
</form1>
As you can see there is no HTML table code in the prefill. I know that that is not allowed.
Here is an image of the results on the old Livecycle ES (8.0)
Here is an image of the results on the new Livecycle ES2 (9.0)
Has anyone else run into this issue? I am not an expert when it comes to the administrative side of Livecycle ES, but is there a configuration, or setting, issue that we may be missing in the Livecycle or Websphere consoles? Is there some form of tranformation of the html code on the older server that is not active on the new one? Is there a difference in the HTML code that was valid on Livecycle ES (8.0) versus Livecycle ES2 (9.0)?
Any insight would be grately appreciated.

I think you are right!!! Just noticed, I came here via a link. I'll repost and hopelfully the mods will delete this.
Thanks.

Livecycle ES2, microsoft word 2013 not playing well

I am trying to open a word document in livecycle ES2 and have the same error message alot of other people also have (Word (version XP or onwards) could not be found).

New LiveCycle ES2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) now avialable

Adobe has released LiveCycle ES2 Service Pack 1. Service Pack 1 updates LiveCycle ES2 server components,LiveCycle Workbench ES2, (updating both is required) and 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 available at the same URL. 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

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

Render PDF with Embedded Fonts ES2

I've created a work flow that uses the renderPDFForm service in Workbench on a LiveCycle ES2 server. This form has a "barcode font" on it and when I open this newly rendered PDF up on any machine that doesn't have the font installed it doesn't display correctly. On ES1 it seemed like you could use the "seed PDF" to embed your "Non-Normal" fonts on and reference that PDF in the renderPDFForm service. Now it seems like there is an Embedded Fonts setting in the Adminui and I've added that font in the "Always Embed Fonts" fields, but I'm still getting incorrect results...Any Suggestions???

In Past versions of Word, you could save the file in Postscript format. (File.ps) IF using 2007/2008, 2010/2011, 2013 don't allow saving as Postscript.
You can Drag and drop Word Files on the Icon of Acrobat in the Dock (or Start menu or where ever located), and Acrobat will process Word files into a PDF. It make take a while to do so but it will.

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.

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
