Combine 2 forms in Livecycle

I created a form to be emailed out for anexec vp. Then he decided to add a memo, but sent it in word. I have been trying to figure out how to add it as another page in my livecycle form. The closest I came was to creating a form for the memo by importing a Word Document, but I still can't figure out how to merge the two in one. Can anyone help?

What if you create a text object then copy and paste all of the text from the memo into the Text object. I woudl put the text object on a new page.

Combining forms with pdf files

I need to find a solution to combine my new LiveCycle form with my pdf files that have filable text fields. When I try to combine them I get a message saying "Adobe XML Forms cannot be merged". My goal is to be able to link and fill all the fields from the form to the pdf files. Thank you in advance.

Basically you have to lay the whole thing out in LiveCycle.
I've done it by using the Replace Artwork (under the Edit menu) command on an existing form and selecting a pdf that has all the pages I need in it. Then you have to move the existing fields in your LC form to the proper pages.
Or, put together a pdf with all the pages, bring that into LC as a new form and then copy/paste your existing fields to where you need them.
I don't know if there's a better method hopefully someone else has some ideas. It would be a nice feature in a future version of LC to be able to add pages to an existing form.

I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the butten is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Creating PDF forms in LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I post detail at Software
nha khoa Group
Question on a quirk I have noticed when creating a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 and was wondering if there was a way to change this.
I will use a Text Field for an area where I want the person who will fill out the form to add comments/questions. I widen the box out so the user will have area to type their comments in.
In the properties of for that Text Field, on the "Object" tab I check the box to allow multiple lines and I limit the length to the visible area.
That all works fine. The quirk is when I test the form and then click in that area to type for the text field the cursor always starts in the middle of that Text Field area. Is there a way to get the cursor to start at the top of the text box when someone fills out the form?

Post your question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Is there a script to add to a form in LiveCycle to disable digital stamp editing in Adobe Reader

I work for a state Agency and we want to use digital stamps as our signatures on our internal documents. I have created the form in LiveCycle and I know that in Adobe Reader by default the stamp will use the person's sign on ID for the stamp and then the person adds their name and other information.
However, if the person right clicks the stamp, and edits the Identity and puts in another sign on ID number, such as their supervisor's and stamps the document, there is no way to tell that both of those stamps, with different sign on IDs and names, were created by the same person.
If there is a script I can enter in LiveCycle, that when the form is opened in Adobe Reader, that would lock the Identity field of a stamp created in Adobe Reader from allowing a change to the sign on ID, then that would solve our problem and maybe the problem for other state agencies wanting to follow suit.
The digital signatures are even worse. I made one in my name, my supervisor's name and my dog's name, attached them all to a document, validated all the signatures and they look absolutely authentic. Why would Adobe make digital signatures like that? If we could just find some evidence within the data showing that all the signatures were applied by the same person or on the same computer, then we could use them. But the stamps at least grab that unique sign on number that we use and applies it to the stamp if the user doesn't alter it.
I'm on a time crunch as we hoped to launch this after the first of the year but our attorneys are saying, "uh, uh" until something can be done to prevent fraud. We have over 3,000 people in our agency so EchoSign would be out of the question.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Maybe some sort of "get identity" or something. We just need to be able to prove who put the stamp on the document.

Java Script Warning when creating PDF form in LiveCycle ES (8.2)

When generating a PDF form in LiveCycle ES version (8.2) I keep getting a java script error (yellow bar warning) in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3. This PDF doesn't need java-script ... however I can not find where you turn this off in LiveCycle ES. Any help would be appreciated.

Error message "failed to load an application resource (internal error)" when checking form in LiveCycle preview PDF

After creating a form, when I click on Preview PDF, I am now getting an error message "Failed to load an application resource (internal error)". Not sure why this has started recently, but it makes it impossible to check my forms for clients before I send them. I can open them outside of the program in Adobe Reader, but it is faster to check the form within LiveCycle and change them if necessary. Please help!

I fixed mine! In Reader 9 and 10.0 I had disabled the ReadOutLoud feature as it kept popping up whenever it felt like it, and I don't need ReadOutLoud. What worked for me was first to purge the system of Reader 9 - the uninstall routine leaves stuff behind. Then I went into the Reader 10 program folder, located the plug_ins sub folder, and renamed it to oldplug_ins. Then I ran the repair routine which recreated the plug_ins subfoler.. All now works, except that the <expletive deleted> ReadOutLoud is up to its old tricks again, but I can live with that for now.
Hope this helps.

Javascript code for setting output file name of emailed form in Livecycle

I was given a task of creating a new form with livecycle. I have no knowledge of javascripting so I am struggling with one of the things I am trying to get this form to do. The overview of this form is people around my company fill out this form then hit a button to email the completed form to me. I was able to accomplish part of this task by using the following code within an up mouse event script on a button.
oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
cTo: ********@******.com,
cSubject: "IB Update Request - Instance" + IBInstance.rawValue,
This takes the form and emails it to me with the data from the field called "IBinstance" in the subject line which is what I want but the file name attached to the email is garbage. presently is says "newupdateform.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf"
What I would like is some javascript code that I can take the data from the field called "IBinstance" and use it as the name of the file being sent in. Is there a simple code that i can put in this event to allow me to do this?
Thank you

Hi Joerg,
I have been trying to solve this as well, but gave up. I also could not get the workaround you found to work with EFM files.
If you do find a solution, please update your message to share?

A font package is requried to correctly display after creating interactive form in livecycle

SO I created a form in acrobat. When I save it, and open it in reader, it opens it fine. But I need to make the fields expandable, so I go to livecycle, and create an interactive form with flowable layout. Once i save it, and open it in reader, it instructs me to download chinese font package. There are no chinese fonts in this document. And I only get this message after saving the form in LiveCycle. Any ideas? It just started happening last week. Never had a problem before that.

Hey buddy, I experienced similar problem.
When you creating the form, make sure the font you are selecting is a popular font. For example, if you change it to New Time Roman instead of SimSun, it will work.
Try it!

Form with LiveCycle.

I'm doing a form with LiveCycle. I set my page to flowable but now the content on the right hand side shifts to the left. Cannot place any content on the right.

If you wrap the objects in a position subform you'll be able to put them whereever you want and then may the page a flowed subform. You might want to look at the interactive purchase order sample that comes with Designer for some pointers.

LiveCyle Forms and LiveCycle Designer - Merging data

Hello,
I´m using the following products:
Adobe Professional/Reader/Livecycle Designer = 8
LiveCycle FormServer (Forms) = 7.0
My questions are about using livecycle forms with livecycle Forms. I think this is the right forum because the functionality I´m getting seems to be more designer related.
The goal: merge data with template and execute some code (server side) while letting the template dynamic at client side.
1) Merge a xml file with a xdp file
The data is well merged. The code is executed at client and at server side.
2) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 8 pdf file
I get this message:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
I think this is "normal" because the version of LiveCycle Forms I´m using is 7.0. But if I want to work with pdf 8 files, what is the right version of Livecycle Forms? Do I need to whait until version 8? Where can I update (or download trial) of the latest versions: 7.1; 7.2?
Used:
RenderAtClient=true
FormPreference = "PDFForm";
3) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 7 pdf file
Doesn´t work: data will not merge; code will not run at the server and client side code will not work, too. However, if I try to merge the data with a dynamic pdf form created with livecycle designer 7.1, the data will merge.
In my opinion there are incompatible differences between how a liveCycle 7.1 pdf form and a Livecycle 8 pdf form (saved with version 7) is worked by LiveCycle Forms.
Despite this, there is some bugs in Livecycle Forms when working with PDF files. It woks well with xdp but not with pdf, maybe because a xdp is more simple to work with...
Is this solved in other versions? Where can I get them?
Thank you

Forms are forms. They don't change just because you upload them. While it has nothing to do with LiveCycle as such, FC should be able to open your frorm and convert it. In any case, ask such specific questions in teh relevant product forums.

We have recently converted all our forms into livecycle. Some of our executives would like to use them on an iPad. I have not been successful so far. Is there a way to do this?

You would have to use AEM Forms to take the XDP you designed and render the template as HTML5 for viewing on the iPad.

Combine forms into one

I would like to combine 4 forms into one (exactly my boss want to do this;) )
All 4 have data connection to XML Schema.
I tried to do this but I cannot create "combo box" to select an option.

Yes ..I believe it was introduced in version 8.1. You can use a test application that ships with the product that will allow you to test your DDX file. If you look under the adobe/configurationManager/deply folder there is a file called adobe-assembler-ivs.ear. Drop this into your app server deploy folder then you can access the sample bu going to this URL:
http://localhost:8080/adobe/livecycle/samples/assembler
You can build and test your DDx files on the fly from here.

Created a 20 page fill-in the blank form with livecycle 8.0 and now page 20 needs updated.

Created a pdf with acrobat 8.0 and used livecycle 8.0 to create a fill in the form document. Now that I am at page 20, the lines i put in for a description for people who still use a typewriter should have been taken out for this document. Is there any way to replace this page with a revised pdf page. When I open the document in aapro and select document the insert page is not highlighted. I know I have deleted and inserted pages before, but not one that went into livecycle. Can it be done or do I have to start all over again?

Since this PDF is based on a LiveCycle Designer template individual pages cannot be removed. Can you not just go back into Designer and remove the page you don't want anymore and add in a new one?

Help - Using PDF forms in Livecycle & submitting them by e-mail

Hi
I have prepared a form, which is an interactive pdf, although I was experiencing problems that this wasn't being read by any adobe reader's under version 8.
I've imported my form into Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, which I have no experience of using and I'm having a few difficulties with.
I need to have people open the form and be able to fill fields out and then when they hit the 'submit by e-mail' button, I need it to attach the entire document including graphics. Currently when this is being hit, its attaching a document in an xml format... looking a little like the below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <topmostSubform>
<Title />
<Surname />
<First_Names />
<Maiden_Name_if_applicable />
<Nationality />
<Current_Address />
<Post_Code />
Does anyone know how the filled in data can be saved back into the pdf as its current graphical state? My colleagues need to be able to print the form with collected data.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This has been doscussed numerous times on this forum .....here is a link to one of thse discussions:
