Designer 9i & Forms 6i

Hi, can I use forms 6i to compile/execute forms generated with designer 9i
Thanks

Hi,
It will not fail strictly, but it is recomended that Designer 9i should be used for Forms 9i and Designer 6i for Forms 6i.
Designer 9i creates forms specific to 9i Forms and 6i Designer does for 6i Forms.
So the issue here is basically the compatibility between 9i Forms running under Forms 6i.
Thanks

Acrobat 9 or Designer 8.2 Which of the two is best program to design a form in.

I have some questions that I would like explained to me (by you long time users)
I have acrobat 9 and designder 8.2.1
1. Which of the two is best program to design a form in.
2. What is the differance between the two in designing a form.(advantages / disadvantages)
3. If I have a word .doc form that I want to make into a pdf, which program is best to open it in to work on, Adobe 9 or designer.
4. If I create a form in Adobe 9 or designer can I open it in either after saving it to continue working on.
TIA
Tony

I think this is a matter of opinion. The drawback of using Designer is that you can no longer edit in Acrobat at all. Those of us that learned in Acrobat, often favor the Acrobat route. In Designer you can import WORD forms and that might be useful at times; however, you can not edit it in Acrobat. Indeed, you can still open the form made in either using Reader or Acrobat. If you want backward compatibility, you need to be careful about saving it as such and not adding capabilities that are new with AA9. Those capabilities will be lost with earlier versions.
The best way is to try it both ways and see what you think. When you buy Acrobat, Designer is part of the package. Thus you have the choice and can try both. Make a sample PDF for creating a form and then make 2 copies. You might even start out with a WORD form. Discover the pros and cons yourself. I have never felt the need to go to Designer and it seems that a lot of folks go there only because that is where the forms menu sends them, not realizing they could have used the TOOLS in Acrobat.

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,

How to design a form with multiple lang(Arabic and Eng) in a page

Hi All,
Could you pls help me how to design a form with multiple languages. when I set the form proprties-->Form Locale as Arabic. English text is comming in reverse and when set the FormLocale as English, Arabic text is comming in revese.
Pls help me how to design
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jayakar

I am not sure how you can have two different languages inside the same PDF.
Alternatively, if you want to place only the static labels, you can convert all the static label in one language to images and set the form language setting to other. And place the images inside the form using Image field. For example, you can keep the form language as English and then convert all the arabic language labels/ Static text to images.
Anotherway,
Have same sections in both the languages and hide and unhide based on the user selection of the language..
if your user chooses Arabic, then you can unhide the Arabic sections and change the form language properties programmatically..
Thanks

After designing a form in dw how do you get the form to send an email from submit button?

i designed a form and it works up to the point of toggleing the submit button then nothing happens i do not receive any emails. please help me what am i doing wrong?

Sorry, gary. I don't know what you're talking about when you say "I read the secure page in 2010". Feel free to elaborate if you wish but do not expect a response. It's not my interest to explain to you how to do something but I do feel obligated to tell others that what you're telling them is not completely safe. Please understand that I have in fact informed you of the vulnerabilities of your insecure script for as long as we have corresponded, even after the "security" amendment to your page, which is nothing more than a copy of someone else's work of which you unfortunately did not completely understand. No surprise there though given your frequent ignorance of the subject in the messages we have exchanged. I do remember saying something about a year ago to you mentioning your discreet, sweep under the rug mentality of the importance of having a secure script. Unfortunately you have maintained your ignorance and minimal effort on completely understanding (and effectively educating others on) the subject this entire time.
If someone is asking how to build a submarine and you provide a blueprint of how to build a paper boat with a screen door don't expect someone else to tell you how to build a submarine so you can then go and tell everyone afterwards how YOU would build a submarine. However, you should expect someone to tell the OP that was asking how to build a submarine that your paper boat suggestion will not hold water.
Did you read this?
You're testing for the literal characters \r an \n. There are other ways of inserting carriage returns and new lines.
Yep, that's basically what I told you over a year ago. I know that some have been using your email script to inject mail through the headers for sometime now. No one is sending you emails through your contact form anyway since the spry validation is broken, so injection of your server script is the only way to send emails from your contact page for users who have javascript enabled anyway. Perhaps you will now realize that your suggestions may be hurting others rather than helping them, opposite of what my posts regularly achieve. I look forward to your cognitive posts from now on with eagerness and openness to actually learn the methods that others are continuously trying to educate you on so that you will not continue to misinform others as you have been doing for as long as I can remember, which is longer than a year mind you. If you want to cross your arms across your chest and shrug and grunt that nothing is wrong with your script because you tested it that's fine, but when you start telling others to use it and that it's fine that's when the_shocker says whoa dude... it's not fine. Sorry to blow your ego. Swallow your pride and learn about script vulnerabilities instead of attempting to defend your position by on the forum by saying "you never said anything when you looked at my page a year ago" because dude... that's ignorant and, for the record, I did say something to you time and time again.
best,
Shocker

Where the Adobe Designer PDF Form "Default Locale" read from?

I am designing PDF form using Adobe Designer. I have set the "Default Locale" in the Edit -> Form Properties. I have set the Display Pattern of numeric field to ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99. Based on locale, Adobe should format the numeric field accordingly. So where exactly the Adobe Designer read the locale and the number format? From SAP table, Adobe server OS, PC OS or from where? Because I need to check the locale setting ZZZ,ZZZ,ZZ9.99, ZZZ.ZZZ.ZZ9,99 and so on.

Check in the Interface Or Form Builder -->Interface.

Supress Prompt 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...

Using Access 2007 SP2.
I have an unbound main form(Master page) with a datasheet subform in an mdb.
Close button is on the main form with the following code
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo
I have tried with multiple scenarios but none of them got succeed(Below are those)
set SourceObject property to "" while Unload
SetWarnings False in Form_load
When I close the form I am prompted with 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...'
Is there any way to suppress this annoying message?
Can anyone help on this
Thanks in advance

When I close the form I am prompted with 'do you want to save changes to the design of form...'
Which form is it prompting you about saving, the main form or the subform? If you close the main form with "DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo", I wouldn't expect you to get a prompt about saving changes to that form. But I could
see you getting a prompt about saving design changes to the subform. Are you making any design changes to the subform while in form view, such as filtering, sorting, column-resizing, etc?

Designing dynamic forms

Hello, I've been given a 20 page form in pdf that needs dynamic fields added. The auto detect in Acrobat is useless and I opted to open each page in Illustrator then copy the fields to Indesign and export, but the Acrobat auto detect is still useless and inconsistent, exporting some items and not others and exporting some squares as text, some as check boxes and some as radial even though they all have the exact same formatting and size (tried making them circles). Is there a way to tag the objects so they export as they should or some software with a bit more logic than Acrobat?
At this stage there is no way that I can find to rectify the issues without manually placing the majority of fields which will take days. There must be a solid way to design dynamic forms and wondering if any gurus out there have any tips. I am operating CS3 (will have CS5 in a few days if the client can wait).
Thanks very much for any help.
Cheers, Leah

InDesignSecrets has some information on creating forms by using a hidden layer in InDesign to include elements that will help Acrobat auto-detect the form fields.

Michael Murphy has also done a couple of videos on Forms, in Episode 52 (basics) and 53 (advanced topics). You can find them here:

How to design a form to calculate values for various fields

I have designed a form (in Adobe Live Cycle ES) which has fields for height (in inches), weight (in pounds) and serum creatinine (a decimal field). I have created a field for weight (in kilogram), a field for Body surface area (in m2) and creatinine clearance (in ml/min).
The weight can be derived by dividing weight in pounds by 2.2
The body surface area is calculated by
BSA (m²) = ( [Height(in) x Weight(lbs) ]/ 3131 )½
The creatinine clearance for males is calculated by
(140-age) * (Wt in kg) / (72 * Cr) for males
Creatinine clearance for females
(140-age) * (Wt in kg) *0.85 / (72 * Cr).
At another field I want the form to calculate the dosage by simple multipication of BSA with the dose basis or weight with dose basis.
How can I build an action which will perform these functions and place the value in the appropriate field?
Can some one help me and tell me the exact steps.
I would send the form I designed, if asked.
PS: I do not know java language.

You should ask this question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Problem in implementing Master-Detail-Detail design in Forms 6i

Hi, all technocrats!!
Here i've problem in Master-Detail-Detail sort of design in
Forms 6i..
This thing i've implemented earlier in one form...and that is
fine...and i could not track the root when i've got a problem in
a new form...which of the same manner...
The problem is that...
When i enter data into the 1st detail block and navigate to the
2nd detail which is a detail block to the 1st detail...and enter
data, there is no problem, but when i navigate back to the 1st
detail block and that to a new record in the 1st detail...form
is showing indefinite behaviour( Hanging )...
But when i navigate back to the same record in the 1st detail
from the 2nd detail...there were no problems and it is working
fine...
And whenever i shift to a new record in the first detail it is
asking to save that record...to solve this problem., i've used
POST in the new block instance of the 1st detail...and i'm
comfortably managing it...if i dont use this POST method...it is
clearing the details in the 1st detail itself when i traverse
back to it from 2nd detail after inserting records...
But this hanging problem is really driving me to Hang myself...
Plz do suggest me to get rid of this problem...

Developing proper transactional behavior with Oracle Forms
in Grandparent-Parent-Child case is a problem.
We must use some 'container' for 'non-visible' Child records
(Child records with Parent different from current record in
Parent block).
I try to solve this problem in 2 different ways:
1. Using POST built-in. In this case 'container' is Child
database table. But, problem can be because POST built-in
actually executes DML statements (this locks records and fires
database triggers - so a deadlock can occur) before COMMIT_FORM.
2. Using a 'temporary container'. 'Temporary container' can be
(for example) temporary database table, PL/SQL table of records
(defined in Forms package or database package), Forms record
group. This variant has not problem with record locks/database
triggers, but is much more complex for programming than 1.
variant.
In my development, when I haven't problem with record locks or
database triggers, then I use POST. In other cases, I use 2.
variant, with PL/SQL table of records (defined in Forms package)
as 'temporary container'.
Further, when we use POST, we can do this in more ways.
One method is to use POST in Forms level WHEN-NEW-RECORD-
INSTANCE trigger.
Different method is to change code in CLEAR_ALL_MASTER_DETAILS.
Instead of:
CLEAR_BLOCK (ASK_COMMIT);
we can write:
IF mastblk = "name_of_master_block" THEN
CLEAR_BLOCK (ASK_COMMIT);
ELSE
POST;
END IF;
Which method you use?

Help in design a form

Hi all
I have to write a simple student application for w/r/manage mail based on a web form.
I don't have a clear ideas regarding a main form: it must visualize all the incoming mail with the fileds "from", "subject" and "data"; this mails are stored in a local database after download.
How could design this form? I mean, I could generate a table with this fields, and every time I'm downloading new mail I remake all the form or there is another way for append single lines?
Many thanks

With a web application most often what happens is that the entire page gets remade every time (take a look at hotmail)
You can use Ajax to just pass data back and forth, but that would be beyond a "simple" application.

How do I design a form using the "Add" button?

I am trying to design a form where I can just insert a "Add Shipments" button and the form will replicate to the amount of shipments indicated. Lets say, I have six shipments...I can add a button but nothing happens.
Thanks!
The main thing we are trying to do now is to make a sub drop down menu (i.e. parent-child drop down menus). This means in some sections, like the ‘Orders Received’, when they select how many shipments they received, a corresponding group of further RFIs pop up for each shipment. Right now I just have a couple of these sections under the tab where they select how many shipments. Being able to do this will make the form shorter and easier to read.

Still no attachment ....you have to attach while connected to the forum. You cannot do it via the email.

Designing a form with bubbles

I need to design a form that can be "bubbled" in. It will be a printed form.
From what I can see, using radio buttons is the way to go.
Has anyone else created this kind of form before?
Cindy

Radio buttons seem the best idea
- the licensing issue with 500 only kicks in for distribution via adobe's online tools and things like reader extension through that service_ i think
you can bulk email as many 1000 forms as you like; and collate on the backend yourself
some folks use an xml parser of the email stream to a database - eg the prototype ZOPE xml database tools - totally standalone
if you need lots of collation done by adobe you'll either have to do batches of 500 - not a real hardship i guess? or get into their livecycle enterprise suite (which can do about anything! but requires a reasonable budget commitment)
it's a case of decide what you need and someone will know how to do it

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
