Disappearing Subform

I've created an interactive dynamic form that shows or hides subforms based on
a selection from a drop-down menu.
The drop-down menu has 10 "List Items" and each List Item has a corresponding subform.
Each subforms presence set to "Hidden (Exclude from Layout)."
The subforms are made "visible" or "hidden" using the following JavaScript:
if ("RMC-Guernsey-PLD DOT" == xfa.event.newText)
    GU_ML.presence = "visible";
else
    GU_ML.presence = "hidden";
    GU_ML.rawValue = "";
This script is repeated 10 times, once for each list item and subform.
The form fields are locked via a digital signature and the form is submitted as a PDF using an e-mail submit button.
At this point everything looks fine.
The problem is when the form is re-opened. The subform made visible from the drop-down menu is no longer
visible, but is hidden and excluded from the layout.
How do I keep the subform visible?

On the form properties page under the Defaults Tab make sure that the option to preserve script changes is set to automatic and not manual.

Instantiated subforms disappear after save?

Hello,
In a certain project I use several PDF-forms containing subforms instantiated by users when they need to fill in multiple blocks of similar data. This instantiating is done by using scripts calling the instanceManager. This works fine so far! Now I just noticed a problem with solution:
Whenever such a form is saved as PDF (manually in Reader, but also by e-mail submit), all instantiated subforms (and the data it contained) disappeared as soon as the PDF is closed and reopened. Only the first (default) instance of the subform remains. The strangest thing is: when the same from is submitted as XML, all data blocks are stored just like expected.
(The form is saved as a Dynamic XML form. These forms are created with LiveCycle Designer ES (8.1))
This doesnt occur on just a single form, but on all of my forms containing instantiated subforms. So I guess Im doing something wrong, but what? Has anyone an idea why this happens... or better: does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Kind regards,
Edgar

Hello Edgar,
I have never faced with that problem. Is your subform instances binded to schema or anything else?
While I am creating repeated instances of a subform;
1. Create a subform1, put the fields and delete button inside this subform.
2. Make subform1 flowable layout western.
3. Pagination stays same (Place:Following Prev, After: Continue Filling Parent)
4. In Binding tab of subform1, Select "Repeat subform for each data .." and select min count as 1.
5. In the "Add" buttons script, I enter subform1.instanceManager.addInstance(0); in Javascript.
6. In "Delete" button subform1.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
7. Also you can bind the subform to unbounded element in your sema (...coll[*])
8. It works well.
If you apply like these and same problem occurs, you can check the versions of your reader or acrobat.
Hope helps,
Asiye

Design view disappears when I uncheck Restrict Page Occurrence

Dear Adobe Forms Experts,
I have an Adobe print form with two master pages: one mailing address page that should only occur once, as the first page, and then the main page, which can occur many times. I have been asked to make the mailing page conditional, based on the company code of the invoice. I followed a very useful discussion on SCN explaining how to do this with a HIDEPAGE global variable, wrapping all the fields on the page in a subform, and doing some FormCalc scripting for the subform.
I was able to get the page to print as blank when the HIDEPAGE flag was set, but so far I have been unable to get the mailing page to go away altogether.
I noticed that on the mailing page the "Restrict Page Occurrence" checkbox was checked, and the Min count was set to 1. Well, I thought, that could explain it; I'll just uncheck the "Restrict page Occurrence" checkbox, and all will be right with the world!
Wrong! When I uncheck that checkbox, the Design View for my mailing master page disappears, and the mailing page never prints, regardless of the state of my HIDEPAGE global variable! When I recheck the checkbox, the design view reappears, and the mailing page goes back to printing a blank page when my HIDEPAGE flag is set.
What in the world is going on here?! What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB
P.S. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9.0, and I believe the form was originally created using 9.0

First off, in case anybody reading this in the future has any doubt, I will confirm that this discussion has morphed into the well-worn discussion on how to conditionally hide a page.
Pavan,
    I am now working on a copy of the original form, so I have the freedom to do whatever I want. First off, thank you for the suggestion of right-clicking on the "data" very-top-level node in the hierarchy view, and selecting "Insert subform". That did the trick for adding the missing design view for my mailing page.
    I am now trying to reduce things to their simplest form, to reduce the number of places I could be going wrong. The mailing master page now contains nothing but a content area (which appears to be required). The design view for my mailing page now contains only two objects: the "D_HIDE_PAGE" flag, (bound to the global field in the interface, where I have put the code to conditionally set the flag), and a subform called "Show_Hide", which is set to "flowed". The flag field is wrapped in the Show_Hide subform. I added the following FormCalc code to the Initialize, form:ready, and layout:ready events of the Show_Hide subform:
if ($.D_HIDE_PAGE == "X")
then
$.presence = "hidden"
endif
    When I do a print preview on the form for an invoice that does not set the flag, I see the label for my flag field on the mailing page. When I do a print preview for an invoice that DOES set the flag, I get a completely blank mailing page--but the blank page is NOT being suppressed!
    Just for grins I also tried adding the same FormCalc code to the same 3 events of the top-level subform of the design view (the one I added by right-clicking on the "data" node in the hierarchy view; I called this subform "MAIL_DESIGN"). Same results as before.
    I believe I've followed all the steps laid out in the many SCN discussions on this topic--but obviously I am still missing something. Any clues where I may have gone wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB

Disappearing text in a form

I’m new to live cycle and have set up a flowable form which I seem to be having some issues with.
As each sheet of the form needs to contain the company branding, the name of the member of staff completing the form and the date, I have set it up using a master page which includes some images for the branding, a text field for the name and a date field, all the other content for the form sits on the subform page one so the text field will flow onto numerous pages if required.
When text flows onto more than one page anything that has been typed in the text field set up in on the master page disappears and has to be re-entered, all other text fields within the form are fine.
Why does this happen and how can I stop the text from disappearing?
Thanks

Did you set the binding of those masterpage fields to 'global'?
Every repeated masterpage represents a new instance with its own data window.
To have the same data in all the instances the binding needs to be global.

Subform - XML: LiveCycle Designer 7.x

I have a problem populating part of my dynamic/interactive sub forms in to a XML-message. The sub form uses setInstances and is based on a XSD schema. When I bind the different elements to the 'data view' elements it seems to reject the [*] occurrences, i.e. family[*].name (when physical entering the [*] in the 'object'-'binding' the data view binding symbol disappear. Why?). As a result the send button and the attached xml-message dont contain the family.name element (many family occurrences).
Any idea how to solve the problem?

To simplify the question. I have a multiple form that works fine in the acrobat view (pdf) but when I use the submit by email button and send the form data as xml the multiple occurrences will not be included in the xml. I only get the first occurrence of the subform (i.e cylinder[1].id, and not the cylinder[1..n].id)
My subform i set to position content and binding to repeat subform for each data item with many occurrences. The default binding for each element is set to cylinder[*].id etc. The binding and data elements are based on a xsd schema.
I hope this can clearify my problem.

Beginner! I need help on figuring out how to make a form display subforms/fields based on a drop do

I am trying to create a from that will allow the user to select a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd request. All of the request will need to be a little different so I would like to make the subform or feild that are relavant to the request type appear and the other be hidden. Should I use subforms to accomplish this or ????? I have looked all over for a answer but I can't find anything that seems to work for my needs. Can someone please help?
Thank You

Thank You for the response! I was able to get that far but I am still having trouble. First, I was able to get the form to work even though I used postioned content. I used 3 radio buttons and JS to get the subforms to appear and disappear. (Request1.presence ="visible"; Request2.presence ="hidden"; Request3 ="hidden" each button has a similar script on the Click event) The problem occurs when you go from the 3rd button to the 1st button. Both subforms show up but if you go in any other order the subforms hide and appear properly. ??????? Maybe I am going about this completely the wrong way.

Downloads disappear from folder

I have downloaded some music and when it has completed the task, the download file disappears. Hasn't done this before, files always remain in download folder.

Launch Finder.
Finder > File > Find
When the Finder window opens up, enter the name of the music file in the search box at the top right corner.
It will show up in the Finder under “Name”.
Right click on it and select “Reveal in Finder” from contextual menu.
The resulting Finder window will show the location.

On Screen Keyboard Glitch in Tablet Mode - On Screen Keyboard minimizes / disappears / slides down

Hi there -
New Yoga owner here ( just bought it yesterday) and within minutes of setting the computer up I noticed that the on screen keyboard was malfunctioning when the yoga is in tablet mode. Specifically, it pops up for about a second and then, without me touching or clicking or doing anything, it quickly slides back down. repeated attempts to bring up the keyboard end up, frustratingly, with the same result. what is perplexing to me is the on screen keyboard works fine in laptop mode (when I need it least).
Someone else already started a post on this BUT it was marked as 'solved' (which it wasn't) so I figured I'd start new thread. The solution on the previous thread was to simply 'refresh' windows to get rid of any new drivers that were downloaded since purchasing the yoga, but I did not download or update anything prior to this problem arising (as I said, the problem seemed to occur within a few minutes of turning the machine on for the first time). In any case, I tried the refresh and it did not work so clearly my problem is not that I downloaded an incompatible or faulty driver. Please Help! I love this machine and I'm trying to see past the other flaws I've noticed so far (subtle screen flickering, inconsistent touch sensitivity etc), but this issue is starting to really undermine my confidence in the product quality and, from a productivity standpoint, it is a real deal breaker to not have full tablet functionality.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with the disappearing virtual keyboard within hours of starting to use my new Yoga 13. I read somewhere that it was a problem with an incompatible Synaptics driver, and when I looked in the control panel, it showed that the Synaptics driver had been updated on my Yoga as of the day I bought it. I think somehow by agreeing to automatic updates of the software, the Synaptics driver is updated to an incompatible version. So what I did was I removed the Synaptics driver, using the Windows program uninstaller tool, rebooted, and then found the Synaptics driver at the Lenovo site which is specifically labelled as the Yoga 13 driver. I installed that, and the keyboard is now working fine.

Itunes won't open...bounces and disappears. Here is crash log.

When I attempt to click on itunes, it appears on the dock, bounces, and disappears. This also occurs with the "help" application. Can anyone help? Here is the crash log, but b/c it is so large it is pasted here with only the first ever crash and the most recent.

Looks like your webkit framwork is broken, or is now broken in relation to iTunes. Calls and classes may have changed since version 7.1, which is what you are using. Try updating to the latest version of iTunes and see if this fixes it.

When I open up my emails and close them, they disappear and I cannot find them. Where are they going? Is there a setting that I have to change?

Once I open up my emails they disappear and I cannot find them anymore. Is there a setting that I need to change to stop this from happening?

Are you tapping any of the icons at the of the Mail app after opening them, or do they disappear without you doing anything ? And if you have more than one account on the iPad, does it happen on your other accounts as well ?

How do I use Page Grouping to make my form/subforms flow across multiple pages?

I have every text box set to flow, but one page is not flowing into the next. For one thing, it stops entirely. For another, the content is interfering with the Master Page. I read than Page Grouping can alleviate this issue, but I have no clue how to enact it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Please check the subform which is the container of all these text boxes. Please see this : https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/livecycle/yq8FauqHD3w

Please guys. HELP ME>

Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
1.
My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
2. (possibly related to 1.)
When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
Help please!!!

i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

I just updated itunes and a LOT of my movies and music disappeared. These are movies and music I owned already and did not purchase from iTunes. How do I find them or do I need to add them all again? Also what happened to the sidebar?

I just updated my iTunes software and have a lot of problems...
1. The sidebar option is gone. I LIKED the sidebar and it was easier for me to navigate that way.
2. Also no lists? I hate the icon way to view it. It makes my eyes go wonky and I have a harder time actually looking for what I want.
3. A LOT of my music and movies have disappeared. These are music and movies I owned that I did NOT purchase from iTunes so I can not re-download them.
How do I find the missing files? Do I have to readd them into iTunes? Is there a way I am not seeing to put thew sidebar back or make the files be viewed in list form? Can I undo this update to put it back the way it was. I hate this update...

See my answere to your post in the Mt. Lion forum.
