Can Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0 do this...??

Hi everyone, i'm new to livecycle and I want to know if this application can do the things I need it to do.
Heres my situation,
I want to be able to create a form (for example, a blog entry type of form)that has:
-title
-url link
-message
-upload picture / movie file / audio file ??
*possibly more fields
I then want to be able to EXPORT all this data as an .XML file and save it on a WEBSERVER after hitting the submit button.
with that being said, once there are alot of entries, could it be possible that now when someone fills out the form, they will be able to see the 'titles' of past entries in a dropdown or list box, and have the ability to delete entries if they wish?
--- what it comes down to is that I basically want to create a really low-budget content management system, where the backend will be a Dynamic PDF form....and the front end is a FLASH web template.
the flash web template gets its information from the .XML spit out from the PDF.
Can all of this be done? or am I way off
THANKS for your help in advance!

Ian,
I don't know if you can use a PDF form to do an HTTP upload of a file. You can use an image field to allow a user to browse for a GIF, TIF, JPG, or PNG and include that in the submitted XML, but I don't know if it's possible to do something similar for other file types. I doubt it. PDF does support file attachments, but that functionality requires the user to have Acrobat or the PDF has to have usage rights enabled using Adobe Reader Extensions Server. Even if you assume that all your users have Acrobat though, attaching files in this way doesn't get the file into the XML form data like an image field does.

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
   Ari

Adobe Form Designer 5 upgrade to Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

Hello,
Our team will begin the upgrade process from Adobe Form Designer/Form Server 5 to Adobe LiveCycle Designer/Forms 7 later this month. We've been told by Adobe that this is a significant upgrade.
For those of you that have already been through the process, do you have any advice, lessons-learned, etc. to offer?
Much appreciated,
MM

I'd have to agree that it is a significant upgrade. Perhaps not for features/benefits but in effort.
I can't provide any specifics because we chose not to convert but I can give you an idea on what tasks you might encounter.
I hope you don't have many forms and very little VBScript or default scripting and don't use the API for presenting forms for filling.
We have lots of forms (150 presentation screens [forms] producing 500+ printed forms via the Central Pro Output Server). All the presentation screens use VBScript and they are presented to the user with a VB program using the API. To get the capabilities we needed we used all the stuff that makes the conversion a major effort.
We would have to learn the software, redo the presentation screens, learn the new data model, learn JavaScript, rewrite, test and debug 100s of lines of scripting and learn the new API and rewrite the presentation program. And then to top it all off we would probably have to purchase the horrendously expensive Reader Extension software.
We don't have the staff, time or money for that effort. Besides, we are still in the process of converting forms from our older systems and doing a conversion in the middle of the conversion just doesn't make sense.
All the postings for help in these forums also makes me extremely leary. At least Adobe has put staff to actually helping customers that post here. To begin with that wasn't occurring.

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?

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.

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

Adobe Livecycle Designer - Content Area can not be re-sized

I've installed Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1 and I am able to create forms using transaction SFP and print them.
According to the Adobe documentation, I should be able to re-size the content area on the Master page. When I try to do this, I am able to make the content area smaller, but can't make the area bigger. I also can't move the content area down. the application ignores what I do, but doesn't give any error message or warnings.
has anyone else experienced this situation??

Hi Chris,
First make sure that you are in the Edit mode in transacrion SFP. If you are in Display mode the changes you make will not be saved. Also a message is displayed 'Changes in layoyt are not saved in display mode'.
Next make sure that if you are resizing the content area for a particular Master page, you first need to select that master page from the Hierarchy view and then click on the Tab named Master in the Layout editor. Only then the changes will be reflected.
Hope this helps.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes every time I open it :(

Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

I am dealing with the same problem. I called Adobe technical support and spent hours to fix the problem but none worked. I tried to explain them the error might be caused by the Activation process but they just made me uninstall and install application several times.
When I start LiveCycle it gives the following error: adobe livecycle designer es has stopped working.
I start debugger to see what's going on and get the following exception: Unhandled exception at 0x773db663 in FormDesigner.exe: 0xC015000F: The activation context being deactivated is not the most recently activated one.
Does anyone know how to deactivate this product manually? Because deactivate menu is dimmed and I cannot deactivate product from the program. I believe if I can just remove activation info and activate it again this problem might disappear.
Thanks

Shawn,
This may be a couple of known things; one is related to your specific installation (may have become corrupted if you did an upgrade from a previous version, especially if you upgraded from Beta?) Or, it may be related to a known SQL Server compatibility bug for which a hotfix will shortly be posted. (Problem with some Microsoft DLLs that get updated if you install SQL server).
If you have SQL Server installed, try looking on these forums for a patch that should be posted within the next 2 days. If not - please contact me directly, as I'd like to get someone on my development team to help look through your installation and see what the problem is, so we can fix this properly.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I recently purchased Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, it came with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. When I create a new document with Acrobat 9, it takes me right into LiveCycle for the design, which I do not mind. However, the properties for each field are very limited in comparaison with Acrobat 9. So, the file I create with LiveCycle I want to be able to open again with Acrobat 9 and reach the field properties with Acrobat 9, but the system does not allow me to do that. What am I doing wrong?
Anne-Marie

To force uppercase, enter the following in the change event as JavaScript (make sure JavaScipt is selected in the language dropdown list at the top right):
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase();
As you can see in the picture, there are many palettes available on the right side to edit fields. Hope this helps.

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.
