Design help to the forms

Hi gayes
I need your help in designing help to any any working screen such that when the user push F1 buttons , click the right buttons of the mouse and choose help from the popmenu,or choose help from the menu bar . It must give him the correct help.
Also this "help screen" how could I make it,and connect it to the help of windows98 to work.
Thanks

Hi Kimberg Howe,
You have several alternatives to generate a .hlp file. You can do it manually in words and save the file as a rich-text-format (.rtf), and then use the Microsoft Help Workshop (a Free Program obtainable from www.microsoft.com site) but realize that you will have to code all the Winhelp engine commands and that's some task. However, you can investin some WYSWYG winhelp file generators. I guess it is not appropriate to suggest any in this forum, but you can do a search on any search engine for keyword "Winhelp", or you can also search on www.download.com
What this program will do for you is to allow you design your help file and then generate the .hlp for you, some of these programs can also allow you to generate html files that is suitable for web forms.
I hope this help.

How do you Save a pdf form automatically to a designated folder using designated fields in the form?

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a “service excellence feedback” form. The idea of this form is to have a blank form living in our company’s intranet page to be used by multiple departments that receive feedback and then have a chain of updated investigations and follow up to be documented within the same file.
The top portion is to be filled out by the department receiving the feedback. It collects all the pertinent data needed including the person giving the feedback’s First and Last name. Once the top portion of the form is filled out I want to have a “submit” button that will do;
1. Save the pdf automatically to a designated folder AND automatically save it under the last and first name that is entered in the form. So the form will be saved in the designated folder under “Smith, John.pdf”. I have already figured out how to format the button to “save as” however I would like to eliminate the person filling the form out to have ANY responsibility to naming and saving the file to the correct folder.
2. After it is saved I want it emailed to a specific email address (which I have figured out.)
Once the steps above are completed and it is emailed an investigation will be performed by me and I will document my findings and then send it by another “submit” button which will save the document (writing over the previously saved version with this new version) and then emailed on to the next person to provide the next step of follow up. When the next person in line finishes they will hit another “submit” button that will again save the new version and send it back to me. We continue this back and forth with a few more follow-ups performing the same save and send options.
I need help in how to write a script/java to perform this task of saving. I have already figured out how to program the button to email the form. Help please!!! I am using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro

It can also work if you certify the document and each user chooses to trust it to execute privileged JavaScript, which may be feasible in this setting. The method you'd use is doc.saveAs: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Also, read the following tutorial: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

Help: Exit the FORM when user makes failed attempt to logon

Hi,
In this application, I added a on-logon trigger with a line:
logon(' ','@DB-CONN');
DB-CONN is the default database connection string.
What I really want to add is every failed logon attempt will be given and the 3rd failed attempt will kick the user out.
Right now, I have the problem that even user clicks CANCEL button, the form will be started without DB connection. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Where can i get help on the Forms API????

Is there a good resource available on the web or am I limited to the info provided in the inadequate help files?????
John

Yes , the only resource I have found available is the on-line help .
However we have succesfully used the API to both extract info, create new items, do global changes etc which would have taken months with over 1000 forms forming our application.
Some uses we have put it to are:-
1.Extract graphics text from canvases and create display items for these required for a multilingual implemetation.
2.Version stamping as part of our release/distribution procedure inside .fmb by creation of a global which can be displayed by the end user from a button.
3.Creation of support technical documentation from the fmb in xml format for use by our support people in first line fault identification without the need to have the fmb available.

Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms

I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help?

Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

Error opening the form in Reader 7

I have designed a form in LiveCycle designer 8. The form has a regular Submit button which posts data a URL (a java servlet) using HTTP URL encoded.
The form opens and works as expected in versions 8 and 9. However, when I open the form in 7, I get the following error:
Invalid enumerated value: urlencoded.
The fault occurred on line 105111.
I changed the button to HTTP Submit Button, and it started working fine in Reader 7. Just wondering if there is anything else I need to take care of here.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks a lot. it works now.

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

Changing the name of the form when attached to an email

Good Day All;
I am wondering if there is a way to change the name of an attachment when the email button is clicked.
Let me explain.
I have designed a form that will be emailed from one are to another and when the email button is clicked the email attachment is named (example) “_150s2140t32f8b0iu.pdf”. Of course this is a meaningless name. I would like to somehow change this to better represent the name of the form.
Thanks for any suggestions
Thanks
Chomp

Hi Chomp,
It sounds like you are clicking the email button when in Preview in LC Designer. When the form is being Previewed it is given a temporary name. If the form is opened in Acrobat directly, does the email button attached the form with the proper/full name?
If you want the form to be given a named based on user's inputted data, then you will need a trusted function (.js file) on every user's computer. See this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.

INOTHING DISPLAY WHEN RUN THE FORM,

WHEN I WANT TO RUN MY FORM , NOTHING DISPLAY , BUT THE BROWSER OPENS
PLEASE HELP
THANKS

Hi
The Forms Builder 10.1.2 is NOT supported to be installed on Windows 7. but u can technically accomplish but is considered NOT supported by Oracle. I do not recommend attemting to install on Win7. u can use Virtual Machine on ur own lap installing Windows XP instead cause The Forms Builder 10.1.2 is Certified and Supported by Oracle
If you have access to My Oracle Support, take a look at this document: How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1)
Supported Operating Systems and other installation information can be found in the Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_08/doc/dl/core/B16012_04/chap2.htm#i1007814
oracle form 10g supports Only Older Internet Explorer Versions e.g. Internet Explorer 6 or 7 cause IE9 is not certified for Oracle forms but if you want to run form on higher as urs then u have to
1. replace the old jvm.dll with the latest version of jvm.dll ,*Warning* : although this is unsecure solution it works but on ur own risk
2.Download the latest Java Runtime Environment( JRE )Version Java 6 Update 31 from herewhich fits for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7
3.Modify ur formsweb.cfg save and restart ur IE finally try again
**But The most preferable solution if you have access to My Oracle Support, take a look at this document: How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.3 on Windows Vista (Doc ID 559067.1)
try to install the patch 7047034 via opatch on the client (Developer 10.1.2.3, Windows7 64bit)Otherwise Go back to 1 ! :(
Hope this helps...

The new column designed not appears in the form

Dear All Gurus/Experts,
I created new column directly in the database stored in the SQL server 2000,in table IGN1, right click --> select design table, then right click --> insert column, I write U_copqty, numeric data type, 9 is its length and allow nulls check mark.
I can't understand why the field is not appeared in the form settings like other columns so that I can thick and make it appear in the form IGN1 (receipt from production). I have read development training files but I am confusing if it is really need VB.net to do that. I also know about user defined field but it doesn't what I need because I have created UDF in the production order row but I can't find it in the receipt from production form, so I just did create the new field/column directly in its database but I fail to make it appear in the form settings when I need it to be available in the receipt from production form. would you pls help me ? I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,
Steve

Hello Steve,
The reason you can not see the directly added field is because that there is another table CUFD which holds all the User Defined Field information. So, you need to add a new record in that table. However, the approach is really not SAP recommended. Directly handling database could be very risky. Please create the user defined field according to the steps.
Regarding why you can not view the field you created, did you create a row or document level field?
Hope this helps,
Nick

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

Static text is not appearing from the form designer

Hi,
We are using Adobe Live Cycle designer 6.0 to design print forms.
The problem we are facing is, sometimes static text element created on the Body Page of the form does not appear at all(when we open the form designer after creating the Static text element), though we can find the static text in XML Source of the form.
For example, if a text element is created with text "XYZ" on body page, it is not visible on the body page whereas the XML Source contains "XYZ" in it.
What can be the problem ?
Regards,
V Joshi.

Hi Nikhil,
I tried using static text from Standard Library and ISR library too. Still the text disappears when i activate the form.
More inputs on this will be helpful.
Also, we are using the Form Designer Version 6.0 which is in-built component of NWDS 2.0.16 installation.
Regards,
V Joshi.
