Barcoded Forms without EJB

Hi Guys
I would like to know if, is there another way to use barcoded forms without using the EJB deployed using the setup available ?
I don't want to depend of J2EE container to run a simple stand alone application that decode 2d barcodes from tiff images. Can I use only the JARS responsible to do this ? Probably these libraries are reference by EJB.
thanks
Marcelo

PDF barcode form input in Acrobat Reader

I have tried to create a barcode form by using the acrobat professional XI, all user input will be rendered into a QR code in the PDF form.
Problem now is:
If i distribute this barcode form to user without Acrobat Professional XI (i.e. they may be using Adobe Reader X to input the form), the barcode cannot be generated base on the user input and disappear.
Any idea how to resolve this or any configuration need to be done?

You need LiveCycle to apply the extended rights for barcoded forms

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 - Barcoded Forms Changes

For those of you that have upgraded to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 you should notice that there are a few changes to the Paper Forms Barcode object interface.
On the Field tab you will see that the label may be generated automatically or manually which before could only be generated automatically. The most significant change may be found further down in the new Symbology pull-down menu. Not only can Barcodes be generated in the PDF417 format, but now you can take advantage of both QRCode and DataMatrix. Depending on the region as well as vertical will probably decide which format you will be using on your forms but it may be worth experimenting with different symbologies and data capacities based on the data of your forms to see if there may be a better alternative.
On the Value tab you will find a slight change to the automated scripting. Tab-delimited and XML may still be generated automatically but you now have the option to select whether or not you would like to include the field names and labels. The Include Field Names separates the field names by tabs and encodes them as the first line of the barcode contents. The values are encoded beneath them. Include Label encodes the label (shown in Field tab) as the first tab-delimited field in the barcode contents. This is a great way to include a form identifier as a standard in your data (a good best practice). Keep in mind that when using the default tab-delimited formats the Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder can create XML from tab-delimited data automatically which saves some time on the back-end integration effort.
Again on the Value tab there is another new drop-down field named Collection. For those of you familiar with the Barcoded forms interface of Acrobat, you were able to select the fields that you wanted to be encoded in the barcode without having to do any custom scripting. The Collection interface basically provides you with the same functionality but under a great tree-view interface that allows you to manage the data that goes into your Barcode very easily, again, without custom Scripting.

I am receiving the following error when I deploy the xdp form onto the adobe form server 6.0.

How do i purchase access to LiveCycle Barcoded Forms?

I am currently creating a form in Adobe Livecycle ES2. I want to put a PDF417 2D barcode on the form containing the data of the fields in the form. The customer should be able to use Adobe reader to fill out the form and the barcode should update with the field information. However to do this i need to purchase a license for LiveCycle Barcoded Forms. In order to get this license it seems that I need to purchase Livecycle reader Extensions ES2. However the product is not available online and when contacting Adobe no one knows how I can purchase this product. I have been in contact with: Adobe customer service Denmark, Adobe support Denmark, Adobe sales Denmark, Adobe customer service Sweden, Adobe Support Sweden, Adobe Sales UK, Adobe support UK, Dustin Denmark (Adobe reseller).
Does anyone know how to purchase this product or how much it costs to purchase?
An additional question i have is if there is a product that works in a similar way for Adobe Acrobat X Pro? Or do i also need Livecycle reader Extensions ES2 to unlock user rights for barcoded forms made with Acrobat X Pro?

Ok i give up!
For other Adobe users looking for this product. Please consider that it is impossible or nearly impossible to purchase a license for it! I have contacted the following with no luck:
Adobe customer service Denmark
Adobe support Denmark
Adobe sales Denmark
Adobe customer service Sweden
Adobe Support Sweden
Adobe Sales UK
Adobe support UK
Adobe Sales US (through the phone no. listed on the web page for the product)
Adobe Support US
Dustin Denmark (Adobe reseller)
Avoka (Adobe partner)
4Point (Adobe partner)
Please keep in mind that there are other easier ways to unlock user rights.

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

How to print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns

How can we print Adobe Forms without the black/gray backgrounds in the side columns? We are wasting a lot of ink printing out these forms and would like to have simply black ilnes to distinguish columns and black lettering, but no background colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am not positive what you are printing from but I am thinking it is from the View Responses tab with a response row selected and then shown in "Detail View" and that the column of field names has a dark grey background...
To change the color of the column headers select the row of headers (do this by clicking on the first dark grey header field and then scroll to the last one and shift+click on the last one), then in the "Text" tools change the text color to Black and the Fill color to white:
(Selected the header cells)
Changed the text/font color to black and the fill color to white
Now you can see the detail view does not have the dark grey.
Thanks,
Josh

Unable to submit form without attachment if file upload fails

Hi All,
I have a form, in which I have a input file component.
Scenario 1 - If i don't attach anything and submit the form, it is successful.
Scenario 2 - If I attach a file of size less than 2 MB and then submit, it is successful.
Scenario 3 - If I attach a file of size greater than 2 MB and then submit, ADF gives an error message saying " File is large" which is expected.
3.1 - In the scenario 3, after file upload fails, I want to submit the form without attaching any file. But the form isn't submitted and the warning message always pops up.
3.2 - If I upload file of size less than 2MB again and then submit, it is successful.
Please help me in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
Harini.

Try clearing the error messages
<af:resource type="javascript">
function clearMessagesForComponent(evt){
AdfPage.PAGE.clearAllMessages();
evt.cancel();
</af:resource>Now all yo uneed to do is to call this javascript method e.g. using a <af:clientListener method="clearMessagesForComponent" type="focus"/>on a button or any other field.

Contact form without PHP Help!

I'm trying to create a contact form to send an email to me
when they click on the submit button. I'm using the "getUrl and
Mailto). It works when I set the variables manually, but I can't
get it to store the value of the user input fields to use in my
message body.
This has got to be a simple matter of syntax or placement of
the var function. Please forgive me for being such a newbee!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think you're going to have any luck processing a contact form without the support of some server-side scripting that is capable of interacting with the server.

How do I acquire LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder?

I have seen in various areas of the Adobe website that this is available for purchase as a seperate Enterprise product, but cannot see how to do this. Even downloading a trial at this stage would be very useful to make progress on a project.
This comment from: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WSB6B0B0A6-FD16-4d4b-A729-815994F689BF.ht ml
"Note: Acrobat Capture and LiveCycle Barcoded Forms Decoder are standalone products appropriate for enterprise workflows and are sold separately from Acrobat."
As background, we are not developing the barcoded form, we will just receive a form which we will scan, extract the data and save it in an XML file.
Any rapid help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
JOHN

Adobe® LiveCycle® Reader® Extensions ES2 now includes the Barcoded Forms right and you are licensed to install and use the decoder service is part of that purchase. When you install LiveCycle just be sure to select the Barcoded Forms piece which will include the decoder service.
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
If you'd like to learn more about when it does need to be licensed, take a look at this blog entry: http://blogs.adobe.com/asktheexperts/2009/06/adobe_livecycle_barcoded_forms.html.

Japanese font package being required for form without Japanese

I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro using (as far as I know) all English characters. I saved the form and am now trying to open it on another computer that has Acrobat Reader X. The error message I'm receiving is "A font package is required to correctly display this page. Click OK to direct your browser to download the add-on from adobe.com...." The font package that it wants me to load is Japanese. Once I load that font pack, the form opens without any problems.
I'm not the only one having this problem, others who are trying to open the form are experiencing the same difficulty.
So, why does Reader think my form contains Japanese fonts, and how do I get rid of them so others can open the form without having to install a font package?
Thanks!

As far as I can see, there are no asian characters there. Here are the fonts listed:
BellGothicStd-Bold
FuturaBT-BoldCondensed
FuturaBT-Book
FuturaBT-BookItalic
FuturaBT-Light
FuturaBT-LightItalic
Helvetica
KozMinPr6N-Regular
ZaphDingbats
ZaphDingbatsItCbyBT-Regular
Thanks again!

Position to first field in a form WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT

DOes anyone know how to position to a field in a form without using javascript OR is there code that can be used in JSP to tell whether the browser is javascript enabled and within that block, use javascript to position to the field.

Unfortunately, the only way I know how to do it is using JavaScript and the onLoad event. You can determine if a browser is JavaScript compatible simpley by looking in the request header for the type and version of the browser, and you know which browsers support javascript. But you'll need to use javascript to figure out if they actually have javascript turned on.

Barcoded form with XML-data

Hi all,
In our solution we have some barcodes on a form (7 barcodes on the one that I am using), they contain compressed XML data (I know that this uses much space in the barcode - anyway it should work regardless of this).
What the interesting thing is what is returned from the "decode-service" in WB.
When I run a scanned form through the process I have created I get "garbled" xml in my XML-doc that is returned from the decode-service.
If I use a handheld scanner (with a customly created program that handles the compression) I get the correct data from the barcode.
If I do not use compression in the barcode I get the correct XML data from the barcode (with the decode-service). This is weird to me... What is going on???
Some time ago I posted this issue (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.3c058293) but never really caught up with a solution.
Can you help me with this?
Sincerely
Kim

Oops, something happended with the above post. I will try again... I have tried your suggestion but I still get the same garbled XML (with data repeated and some values "cut in half". Here is what I get after decode-service and extract-to-XML-service. This is just the first barcode, the others are similar, sorry for the poor formatting, but I get a CDATA tage infront of the "istensen" value. CDATA:istensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie >Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown</fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 >/sub_Adresse ><sub_Person ><fld_ForMellemEfterNavn>Kim Christensen</fld_ForMellemEfterNavn ><fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie > Superroad 99, 1330 Supertown </fld_VejNRpostByEnLinie ><fld_PrivatTelefonnummer >20724283</fld_PrivatTelefonnummer ></sub_Person ></sub_PktA ><fld_BlanketNr >kb0371ff</fld_BlanketNr ><fld_BarcodeCount /></form1 Obviously this is not a legal xml-string, so I can do nothing about it. I have tried using a custom .NET component (ClearImage) for reading the same form (with the barcode) I get the correct data out from the barcodes. So I guess something is wrong with the decode-service in Barcoded Forms ES when I use compressed XML. But I can conclude since the ClearImage component can read the barcodes that they are compressed correctly. Can you help me with getting further with this problem? Sincerely Kim

Submitting Forms without email programs

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any way to submit the pdf forms without having to rely on an email program such Outlook. Is there any way a code can be written to be able to submit forms where they don't have to be attached to the email prior to be sent? Sort of like forms that we fill online.
Thank you!!!!!!!

Yes, in this case Acrobat.com is the web server that I talked about. Your client would need to set up an account there and distribute the form using their own licensed copy of Acrobat.
The downside to using Acrobat.com is troubleshooting when things go wrong on the server end, which I've experienced a number of times. Since it is controlled by Adobe, there's very little you can do when things don't work as expected.
I'll try to find some other resources to direct you to for other approaches.

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.
