Cfpdf action="protect" on LiveCycle Designer created form

I am attempting to protect a PDF file which was created in LiveCycle Designer. I get the error below
Error: The password provided is either wrong or does not have sufficient permission to perform this action.
code:
72 : <cfpdf action="protect"
73 : source="#myfilepath##lockedfile#"
74 : destination="enc#lockboxpath##lockedfile#"
75 : newuserpassword="pass" >
Can a LiveCycle Designer created form be protected/watermarked using CF9.0.1?, Or am I spinning my wheels trying to make this happen?
Thanks,
Ronnie

No, you would have to recreate it in FormsCentral.

Can I change Type Action "URI" to Type Action "Launch" in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2?

I am trying get a link in my pdf form to launch Windows Explorer to a folder or just launch the excel file in MS Excel. I used LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to create the form. My problem is most of my users have Chrome as their default browser. When they click on the link on the form it opens in the Chrome browser. If IE is their default browser it opens Windows Explorer so they can open and edit the file. But like I said, most of my users are using Chrome. In my search for a fix, I saw a discussion (see below) where they are trying to launch a pdf file with "Launch" vs. "URI".
So I was wondering, can I change Type Action "URI" to Type Action "Launch" using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2?

I do not have access to notepad++ (hex editor) and as such am trying to make hex changes with Adobe LiveCycle if possible.
Thanks for your response.

ADOBE AIR for offline applications or Adobe LiveCycle Designer Offline form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of recreating the XK01 Customer Master Creation functionality and host it as online application in SAP Netweaver Enterprise Portal. I have done this by creating a Web Dynpro ABAP application and embedding a adobe livecycle designer interactive forms (having same fields as required for Customer Master creation in XK01). In online scenario, the PDF form opens up in browser. In offline scenario, the user can fill up the form and upload the form using UPLOAD button created in the Web Dynpro application. There has been some performance issues like if we have too many dropdown UI elements in the form (having many entries in each), then the form takes too much time to get uploaded.
Can we think of a alternate solution using Adobe AIR desktop application which will enable the user to fill up the form in AIR like User interface. I am new to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR.
The online scenario perfectly fine with Adobe LiveCycle Designer Forms and SAP ABAP Web Dynpro application. It's offline functionality where its performance hasnt been up to the mark.
Also let me know if Adobe AIR can be used in the offline scenario while ADOBE forms in online scenarion or is it mandatory to have AIR AND FLEX in offline and online scenario respectively.
Please advise.
Regards.
Rohit

hi,do you still need an answer for this question?
Because Adobe flex and air are very good solutions for a offline and online scenario
Kind regards,

My livecycle designer es4 form needs password protection for parts of the form

I have a form created in livecycle designer es4 that will be used by Adobe Reader users in three stages. The first stage is setting up choices on the form, saving them and passwordprotecting this Save. The form will be used three more times, each time saved as a new file.
How do I password protect each saved version from a command button?

Greetings,
You have a couple of options depending on whether you need to display the number when the form is created, or saved.
You will need a 'Back-end' data store - most likely a database with a table that at a minimum keeps track of the last used number.
If you are saving the data from the form into a database, you could return the number to the user after saving the data ( and generating the associated number )
If you are wanting to display the number when the form is first opened, you will need to set up an action profile that fires when the form opens to call the back-end and get the next number.
There is no guarantee that the user will save this form, so you may end up with gaps in your sequence if you are assigning numbers other than when saving.
The forum has many posts on loading data into forms before presentation, and also some on using web services to push and pull data from forms.
Hope this helps
Mark

Convert LiveCycle Designer Filleable Form to Web-based Form??

I have a fillable form that was created from scratch using LiveCycle Designer, and I'd like to convert it to a web-based form which I can then post on my website and email the link to others. Is it possible to convert a fillable form to a web-based form?

No, you would have to recreate it in FormsCentral.

How secure are livecycle designer ES2 forms?

When a form is created using livecycle ES2 - are the responses submitted over email then secure?
Ie. when both submitted or attached (as required with yahoo & hotmail accounts)

Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this? My LiveCycle form is a dynamic form. It seems like livecycle Designer ES2 has corrupted it or designer ES2 has a bug that makes reader and acrobat print engine not recognize the pages.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Josh

Comparison of Acrobat Pro X to Livecycle in creating forms

1) Does Acrobat Pro X provide all of the objects (such as image fields, buttons, etc.) to be used in creating a form that LiveCycle does?
2) If you create a form in Acrobat Pro X, is it required to use a server, even though the PDF form is meant to be a standalone form?
3) Thanks.

The main difference in the types of fields available is an XFA form allows an image field and it allows a date field that includes a date picker. Acrobat actually allows you to use a button as an image field. The problem is it doesn't work with Reader, even if you fully Reader-enable the document. Maybe someday they'll restore this capability to Reader since a lot of people have feature requested this.
LiveCycle Designer also includes a large number of 1D bar code fields which are more difficult to implement with an acroform (using a text field), but it's still possible.
Forms created in Acrobat (acroforms) do not require a server and can be standalone forms. They are capable of submitting to a server if needed.

LiveCycle Designed pdf forms not working on Macs

I have designed pdf forms with LiveCycle Designer, enabling Reading Rights. These forms have extensive interactive capabilities, including calculations, locking fields on demand, etc.
They work perfectly on Windows, as long as the user has Adobe Reader 8 or 9. However, I discovered recently that they do not open properly on Macs, and that Mac users cannot fill all the fields, cannot use the buttons (such as jumping to another page), and that the calculations or "if" conditions do not perform at all.
Is there an extension or program that Mac users can download in order to be able to use these forms? I would hate to have to change the 100 or so forms already done.
Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for coming back. I'm using the latest version (the 2014 update).
I've sent you a screenshot of what it looks like when trying to convert to interactive pdf.
Funny thing was it was working fine until a few tweaks and then decided to do its own thing.
I've created loads of forms before through Indesign but this error is bizzare

How to create form in LC to fill and save by Adobe Reader ?

Hi there,
please advise me, how I should do form in LifeCycle. I would like to send by e-mail this form, and I would like to be able to open it, fill and save customers by use of the basic Adobe Reader.
Importantly, the recipient must be able to stop filling it in half and send it on, say, or return to it after a time. When it comes to functions in the same form it is about marked fields, enter text and add files (as attachments).
Do you have any ideas? Suggestions?
Best regards,
Piotr

You may want to go through this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2013/05/understanding-reader-extensions-licensing.html
Your usecase can be achieved by using calculations and scripts in LiveCycle Designer created form and using Reader Extensions but go through above blog for licesing as to which product is better for your usecase.

How do I create a form in CS6 for Mac similar to a LiveCycle Designer form for Windows?

I have been creating quite a few forms in LiveCycle Designer at work (on Windows 7). I do a lot of scripting (99% JavaScript) in the background in order to make the form function as I need it to. I purchased CS6 for my Mac at home, and have a side project where I need to create a form with a lot of the bells and whistles that my work-related forms have. Since I can't use my work laptop for personal gain, I was wondering if anyone can help get me started with how to create a "LiveCycle Designer"-like form using CS6 (LiveCycle Designer is not offered for a Mac).
Thanks!
Scott

Jean-Louis Gassée,

Livecycle Designer v. Omni Form

I need to know of any possible advantages of using Adobe Livecycle in creating forms versus using Omni form. Can anyone provide me with an objective view? Thanks!

Well I've never used OmniForm, but I can give some advice as a user of Livecycle Designer.
I know that Livecycle Designer can make dynamic PDF files meaning that the form fields can expand and contract (and the document along with it) to fit any amount of user input. Omniform can only make static PDF files at this point.
Livecycle Designer is also a very young program. I've been frustrated many times with it because the interface hasn't been refined, it tends to run slow, and there seems to plenty of bugs left to be worked out. Give it another 3 or 4 years and I'm sure it'll be an excellent program if Adobe stays focused on its development, but at this point I probably wouldn't recommend it unless its necessary to be able to create dynamic PDF files.

How do I create and auto-launch bookmarks in LiveCycle Designer?

I've created a fillable form using Adobe Live 8 Pro, I distribute the form using Acrobat. I haven't found a way to create bookmarks in LiveCycle so I create them using Acrobat first before I distribute the form...Is there another way?
The problem I'm running into with this approach is that I cannot auto-enable the bookmarks when the PDF is opened because File > Properties > Initial View is disabled.
So given that I've created a form using Adobe Live, what do I have to do to get bookmarks to launch in the initial view?
Does anyone out there know how to do this?
thanks in advance.
Jon

Hi Hoser117,
Have you considered using a LiveCycle Designer PDF form? LiveCycle Designer comes in the box with Acrobat 9 Pro. Here's are links to some videos from acrobatusers.com that show how to create expandable/flowable tables and fields in a LiveCycle Designer PDF form-

Importing XML to Blank PDF Template;Form based on LiveCycle Designer 8

Hello,
I searched my questions and only thread closer to what i need is from 2012 and not sure is something have changes since then...
I have rights enabled form designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 -Forms has few radio button,check boxes and date fields and email submit button(as XML).
The plan is to send the send the PDF to users,who would then complete the form,email me updated as XML attachment and essentially I am collecting the data in form of XML instead of actual PDF.
My application would need to read the XML and if some values-check box are set as true.I would need to save the PDF.
I need details of an API /SDK needed to achieve this essentially my application need to leverage this SDK,to import the data to blank PDF and save a copy to folder.
As always thanks in advance..

If you're looking to integrate the functionality into your application, you could license the Datalogics PDF Java Toolkit. Among other things, it has APIs that allow you to import and export XML to and from XFA forms.

Creating PDF's - Cannot get Arial to work - only getting MyriadPro (Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10))

Hi
I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 + Adobe Output ES Server on Linux (SUSE10) to create PDF's from input XML.
I have had some trouble getting Arial fonts which are used in my LiveCycle Designer created XDP's to be produced in the resulting PDF using the java API or the Process Flow (watched folder) in Output ES. I have put Arial TTF fonts into both the Server Fonts and Customer Fonts folders and the Arial font still seems to be coming out as MyriadPro in the final PDF.
Is there something I am doing wrong ?
Regards
Robert.

Hello Jackson,
We got this working by adding the below fonts to the server-fonts directory on the jvm which you specify in the LCM when you configure the livecycle and bounced the jvm and thing to note down here is that we added our Windows system fonts which are "ttf" files and our jvm is on linux. You can give a shot and see if this works at your end also.
Fonts added:
ARIALN.TTF
ARIALNI.TTF
ARIALNB.TTF
ARIALNBI.TTF
ariali.ttf
arialbi.ttf
arialbd.ttf
arial.ttf
Thanks-
Karthik.
