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.

  • Disappearing text in pdf form

    Hello,
    we have an application using pdf forms. The reader 9..1.0 reads some data and forms are filled out.
    there are 3 pages datas an 10 pages  for entering text. Each page contains automatically name and birth date of a patient, on the 10 pages the result of treatment is documented.
    Now, sometimes, after opening the text again and changing the text ( e.g. the patient goes home after a week and something has to be entered) the saved text is gone, instead the old text is there though it was said "save". Also some pages are missing ( of the old text )
    Furthermore, today I saw that there is a lot of text at the end of the form. Means, there are 10 pages text, let´s say 6 are filled, all have name and date filled out by our program but enough space to write on page 7. There is a button "reorganize text" and after that there is a message saying that the text is too large for the 10 pages and that the text is hidden. Indeed, all the text on page 7,8,9 and 10 is doubled from the beginning. when I tried to delete some text, there is again text and text and coming into the form and after an hour I could´n delete all the text which is "behind" the real text.
    my first thought was that somebody didn´t insert a text block for lets say 30 lines but copied the whole text several times. But the people working there are much experienced.
    So does anybode has a good inea? I know this is rather complicated but because these text are report of medical treament is is important that nothing is lost and that the text is okay. BTW it worked all the years starting with approval 5.0  over adobe 8 and now 9.
    thanks Joachim

    Export the form data from Menu > View > Tools > Forms > More Form Options > Manage Form Data and save (it will save as a pdf). Then import the form data again from the saved file.

  • Text entered in form fields in Reader 9 disappears to user

    Forms were created in Live Cycle Designer 9 and published. The users have been upgraded to Reader 9 and when they fill out a form, the text disappears when they exit a field or tab to another (check boxes seem to work fine). They also cannot see the filled in data when they print. When the forms are submitted, I can read and print the filled in information.

    I'm having a similar problem. The text in my forms fields (created via Acrobat 9 Pro)  disappears from source field when I tab from source  field to another but  will reappear if I go back to source field. This is happening with  Acrobat  Reader 9. Reader tell me I can edit the fields and I can. The text is there when I edit the file with Acrobat. When I print with Reader 9 , the text does not print. I'm using trialware and trying to work using only the online help which is not that easy to do  being a PDF editor newbie :-(  . Thanks

  • I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

    I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

    If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
    Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

  • Can you create a button that adds specific text to a form field?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it was possible to create a button in a PDF that, when clicked, adds specific text to a form field?
    I am trying to make a product catalogue where you click on a product button to add the product name or code to a form field.
    Each product in the catalogue will have a button and the more you click the more is added to the form field(s).
    Then when you have finished adding products to the form field(s) I want to be able to save and email the entire PDF as an order form.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Yes, it's possible. The most simple version of such a script will be something like this (used as the button's MouseUp event):
    var v = this.getField("Products");
    if (f.value!="")
         f.value += ", ";
    f.value += "Product1";

    Sirrick,
    If I understand your question correctly, you want to programmatically set how many array elements (clusters) to show. You can do this with the Array properties: Number of Rows and Number of Columns. Please see the attached VI.

    Hi,
    I try this:
    private UIComponent getUIComponent(String name) { 
          FacesContext facesCtx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); 
          return facesCtx.getViewRoot().findComponent(name) ; 
    src
    I post the structure again.
    I try:
    // f1 id of af:form
    UIComponent test =  getUIComponent("f1");
    test is not null
    // pfl1 id of af:panelFormLayout
    UIComponent test =  getUIComponent("pfl1");
    but here test is null
    I try

  • Dynamically create and remove TEXT items in forms

    Hi Guys,
    Is there a way to dynamically create and remove TEXT items in form. For example I have the EMP and DEPT table and when
    I select the EMP table name from the LOV, rows of the EMP table with column name and data should get displayed on the screen and likewise a similar action for DEPT table and
    so on. I have about 90 tables from where data could be required to view and edit. They all have varying number of columns.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

  • How to edit text in a form edited in LCD / Acrobat 9?

    So I have a few minor edits to a form that was created in LCD 9 and Acrobat Pro 9.  Apparently this seemingly simple task is now impossible with the latest versions.  When I try to edit it in Acrobat XI I get the message "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat" but I have no way to edit the text in LCD.
    Are users of forms from release 9 really stranded?

    I may still have a version of AA9 available to play with. If so, I will try to check things out and see if there are alternatives. Of course, you could recreate the form in Acrobat XI (that is where printing to a new PDF or extracting the info would be useful). You could also try Forms Central that is part of XI. It may be that Forms Central can deal with a LCD form, never tried it (but I tend to doubt it). If you did not use any of the fancy features of LCD forms, you might be better off just transferring it to AcroForms in XI.
    OK, I opened an AcroForms file in Designer for AA9 and saved. I then opened the file in AA9 and was surprised that I would edit the text of the form. When I went to edit the form fields it took me to Designer as would be expected. I played around in Designer a bit and could not find a way to edit the text, but the text could be edited in AA9. I think this is what you had described.
    I then opened the LCD form in AA XI and found the same result that you did. I was not able to edit either the text or the forms. However, I was able to export the form with most fields to DOCX. The result was pretty good for the form I was working with (suggesting it had reasonable tagging -- but that may also have been done by Designer, I am not sure). There were a few form fields that did not seem to come out, but most did on the 4 page form. I then used PDF Maker to create a new PDF and the result gave most of the form fields, similar to the docx file. It may be that this conversion process might be the most useful, unless you possibly have a form with dynamic fields that is unique in Designer.
    Hope that at least clarifies a few things for all of us and gives you some ideas. You might find additional input from the folks in the forms sub-forum.

  • Standard text in Smart forms

    Hi ,
               Im using the standard text in smart forms, but Im getting the output displayed as hexadecimal numbers. These are the hexa characters stored in the "SO10" transaction for the standard text name.

    But when used in SAP scripts I get the content displayed correctly.
    Can someone help me to display the content in smart forms as such.
    I searched the forum for the solution I got some results for the search but I did not get the solution for it.
