Can't Make Edits- LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I've been using Livecycle for years and I've always opened up certain documents made on LiveCycle and I've edited the text, field boxes, etc. All of a sudden, I go to edit a PDF in LiveCycle (same PDF that I've always edited) and everything is locked. I can't delete, add text, move fields, nothing... It seems that the whole page got locked somehow. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it back to normal so that I can make edits? I'm using Windows Vista, Adobe Acrobat 8- LiveCycle Designer 8.0.
Thank You!

I can lock selected fields, and confirm that I can't move them around in designer. Then I can unlock those fields, and confirm that I now can move them around in designer. But in either case, I cannot edit the fields in the preview window. When the document is viewed in either Acrobat Pro or Reader, the fields can be edited. This is just a problem with the Preview window in Livecycle Designer, and it is a huge hinderence to the person developing the form (a different developer).
Interestingly, if I create a form in Designer and send it to this developer, the Preview window does work. But for any form this other developer creates, the Preview window editing is disabled, even when she sends it to me. So, I suspect it is setting somewhere...but darn if I can figure out what setting/where.

Is it possible for me to share a card I'm creating in iPhoto with my spouse so we can both make edits?

I'm working on a Christmas card and I'd like to share it with my spouse so we can both make edits. Is there a way to share the whole card and not just share the photos?

No. He will need to have access to your Library.

How can I make Edit/Default Customization form with Java ?

In previous portal relise developers have simple way to rendering Edit/Default Customization form:
<% PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormHeader(portletRequest, out, null, "services_action", null, null); %>
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="2">
<TR>
<TD>Days</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="services_days" VALUE="<%= days %>" SIZE="10"/></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Rows</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="services_rows" VALUE="<%= rows %>" SIZE="10"/></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<% PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormFooter(portletRequest, out); %>
In current portal version I can not find these methods, these methods not exists in JavaDoc and in jar's. And all old code do not works!!! Why?
I must hide portlet borders and use <renderContainer>false</renderContainer> in provider.xml. Then portal do not render Edit/Default Customization form in Edit/Default mode. In previous relise I can make this form with Java code.
My question: how I can get Edit/Default Customization form in Edit/Default mode with Java code?
Thanks in advance

Hi George, the trick is to figure out which browser is your default now, and remove that designation using the Android settings for Apps. It might be Chrome or it might be something Samsung provides.
This article has more information: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]].
Does it work?

How can we make edit and non edit of rows on particular conditions in alv

hi experts,
i am very new to web dynpro for abap.i have one query regarding alv.
in one view i have alv table with two line items,and line each line item having foue editable fields and remaining are non editable.
now i am navigating to another view and make some action.here i have generated one value and updated this value to one field ofselected line items of alv table in the previous view.now i am coming back to previous view .now i want to display the row of alv table which contain value which is generated in second view as completely non editable and remaining rows are as it is .
hi guys please look into this and suggests me.

Hi babu,
You can do this in one view it self.
create a one attribute of type wdy_boolean.. in view context.
Bind these attribute to read only property of table.. and initially set the value to abap_true in wddoinit method.
Then create one button say "EDIT" in view and create action for edit button.. in that action set the above attribute value to
abap_false.
so now, initially table will be in display mode, when you click on edit mode...it will become editable mode...
Hope you got some idea.
Regards

How can I make my own design for a web page instead of using a template?

Need to ask the question again. I tried using the blank template, but could not get it to work. I could not insert images and copy where I wanted and in size I wanted.

rapcom wrote:
A general question: Is it possible to change the dimensions of the web page? Or even its positioning as a horizontal or vertical format?
Yes — it's done via iWeb Inspector's Page tab (the second one at the top), editing the values in the +Page Size+ fields. After entering a new value, click the Return key to make it take effect...
..By the way, the above image is taken from a tutorial ~ click on the image above to read the tutorial.
rapcom wrote:
I also would prefer to edit the copy on the blank web page, and cannot do that either. Is it possible to do so?
Yes, it's possible. But it's difficult to know what exact difficulty you're having, and I perhaps risk stating the obvious... One thing to be aware of is that clicking once inside a text box will simply select that box (you'll see eight +"grab handles"+ for re-sizing). But to edit the text inside, you need to click once more. Experiment with clicking inside and outside text boxes and you'll learn.
And iWeb's Help menu has several resources ~ the Help viewer, a +Getting Started+ PDF and a link to ten video tutorials. One of the videos briefly demonstrates adding a text box towards the end; click here...
If after the above you still need help, post back with step-by-step details of the problem.

PLS HELP! How can I make editable text easier for user on iPad?

Hi,
I am having trouble allowing the risk elements text to be edited easily on ipad, can anynoe take a look at this project and ffe any solution?

HI there, your current implementation seems pretty legit to me. I was able to edit the text prety easily the first time, but then when I try to edit the text again, I can't seem to select the text. Not sure if your drag behavior is overriding the input text.

Flowable Tables in LiveCycle Designer as Dynamic PDFs

Hi just wondering if in a table under Row 1 I can add an additional field and it will still be flowable (see attached)
If there are multiple items that need to be added I want the user to be able to add additional notes that is also expandable but I want it to remain as a list format like the attached - is this possible?

Lorain,
I am not sure if this can be done with LiveCycle Designer, we have done this with a product that works with LiveCycle. You can feed the XML data to DocOrigin and it supports this for output to PCL, PS, PDF and HTML. Not sure if it this will help you. You can also convert the XDP to use it in the DocOrigin Designer. DocOrigin will not replace LC Forms but can be a nice addition for generation of the output for print, email or web.
Here is a sample of the output The table has a detail line item followed by 1 to X descriptive comments. Another nice feature is the ability to alter the background color of every other line item, this is done by checking a box. Support for Widows and Orphans is also supported across pages and pagination is automatic. You can also include images in the detail line, however we had to keep the image small in this case because we do not know in advance how may comments are going to be included with any given line item.

Acrobat Professional versus LiveCycle Designer

I am looking into some training for LiveCycle Designer to be able to create a form that will be accesible for my volunteers via email or a webpage. When they fill out this form I want to be able to transfer the data into an Excel spreadsheet and filter to my reporting need. There is an institute offering a bundle which includes Adobe Acrobat Professional level 1 and 2 and LiveCycle Designer. I can also just take LiveCycle Designer but I don't know if knowing Adobe Acrobat Professional will be beneficial to know to what I want to do. Can some one please explain the major difference between each? And would you recommend me taking both trainings for Acrobat and LiveCycle Designer?
Thank you,
D.leon

Personally I would say that this sounds like the right "bundle". Creating forms in Designer for publication (respecting the EULA) will require use of Acrobat to "extend" those forms and then capture the data back into a local table (pdf, excel, acrobat.com, etc.).
If you were just creating forms to be pushed into an enterprise distribution system like LiveCycle, then just Designer would be fine. In your scenario it sounds like Acrobat would be the distribution and data capture mechanism so both courses are a good idea.

Can't Edit Text- LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I've been using Livecycle for years and I've always opened up certain documents, edited the text, field boxes, etc.

I can't seem to edit pdf using XI Pro - says must use LiveCycle Designer (which is supposed to be included in Pro?)

Hi. I am a new user to Acrobat XI Pro, and was trying to make some simple edits to a PDF document. I keep getting a popup that informs me that I must use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form. It is my understanding that LiveCycle is supposed to be part of the Pro suite. How can I edit this document?

But on its website, it says that PDF forms are editable - PDF editor, edit text in PDF files | Adobe Acrobat XI. But I have a file I created with Adobe 8 Pro and it won't let me edit the text. I don't need to do an overhaul, but it gives me an error and says I need LiveCycle. Even the comparison chart online says it has the ability to edit PDF files. Anyone have an idea if there's a feature in the old form that I can change to allow me to edit the text without getting LiveCycle? Bummer that it's not still included. I thought it was.
And try67, what do you mean if I upgraded I may be able to get it? Is that something I should just contact Adobe about to see if it can be added to my software purchase?
Thanks!

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.

Can't select or edit text fields in LiveCycle Designer

Greetings!
I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to edit the header text in this PDF, so I tried to do that in Acrobat PRO, which said: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I got a trial version of LiveCycle to see if I could edit it. But when I open the PDF in LiveCycle, I can only edit the input fields. All of the labels, all the text, headers is uneditable. I can't select it, I don't see it in the PDF Hierarchy either. Half of the Edit Menu is grayed out. Can't copy or anything else. Please help me figure out why this happens. If you need the original PDF, let me know, I can send it to you. Thank you.

What happens when you try to edit the header? From Acrobat, when you open the "Tools" sidebar, is "Edit Document Text" grayed out/disabled? If you highlight some of the text, then right-click and select "Repace Text", do you get a popup warning about the form being interactive and having special features?
In LiveCycle, I can't even select the text. The select box just goes right over it, and if it goes over buttons or input boxes, it does select them, but not the text or even the labels for the input forms.
In Acrobat, I can click on "Edit Text & Images", but it tells me I need to go to LiveCycle. I don't see a "Replace Text" on right-click. There's "Edit Text", but it just tells me to take it to LiveCycle.
