Dynamic form help?

Hi All,
I am not very familiar with LiveCycle so I maybe using the product completely wrong (it came with my 'suite')....
I am trying to create an online form that provides different options for different users based on the way they answer specific questions....
To be more clear:
First user:
      DropDown menu (Choice A, Choice B, Choice C) ----> User selects Choice A
      Check box's offering (Option 1, Option 2, Option 3)
Second User:
      DropDown menu (Choice A, Choice B, Choice C) ----> User selects Choice B
      Check box's offering (Option 4, Option 5, Option 6)
And so on...
Is this possible with LiveCycle?

It is possible. There are different scenarios and different solutions. For example,
1) Captions, like data, can be populated dynamically when data is merged with a form. Go to Tools > Options > Data Binding and select 'Show Dynamic Properties'. You then view the properties for an object, go to the 'Field' tab, and click on 'Caption' to display the dynamic properties and data binding for the caption. A sample for caption binding was posted here last week.
2) Traditionally, when data is merged with a form template the PDF that is rendered can change based upon the contents of the data. In your case, there would be a subform for the first user and a different subform for the second user. Based upon the value(s) of the incoming data you would display one or the other.
3) Based upon some criteria in the form you can dynamically show and hide different objects.
4) Similar to point 3 you can dynamically change captions based upon a rule in the form. The attached PDF demonstrates a drop-down which drives the captions displayed for 3 checkboxes. If you select 'B' from the drop-down the checkbox captions change. If you select 'A' the captions reset.
So it is possible...but it depends on the problem you are trying to solve.

My dynamic form - issue with saving data (urgent-i would greatly appreciate any help)

Hello,
I have some problems with this dynamic form (created in livecycle) http://www.pathology.ubc.ca/Academic_Activity_Data_Form_Jan_4_2013.pdf . It doesn't save data unless I add a' new row' to any of these tables.   There are a few text fileds and if I type anything in there data won't be saved unless I trigger it by adding randomly a table row. This is big problem as this form will be used for updates and if I want to change any of my entered records I will always have to remember to 'add a new row' otherwise just adding/changing text won't be saved. This might sound confusing but you will understanding what is going on if you type in your name and save the form and then type in your name, add a table row and save the form (first case won't be saved second will).
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Help required in Development of Dynamic forms

Hi all,
I want to design dynamic form (using forms 6i), in which the end user will display the screen according to his own requirement i.e on the run-time screen user want to display particular field or not.
In this we have to re-arrange the position of the fields at the run time.Suppose, if the one field is not displayed then immediate next displayed field should take the position of the first non-displayed field.
Can anybody share their ideas ??
Regards.

Have a look at the Steve Cosner QA utility, that exactly does what you want.I have changed my website address, since AOL has terminated their user web hosting service.

I offer an apology for popping up a number of old threads. I have been editing all the links to the old AOL site that I can find, and when I change them, the forum software pops the thread back to the top.

Hi Steven,
"order" is one of MySQL´s "reserved words", means you´ll have to rename this column to something else.

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

Get values from dynamic form items

Hi All,
I create a dynamic form with text input component
private function buildForm():void{
                var numberOfColumns:Number = 5
                var formItem:FormItem = new FormItem();
                var hBox:HBox = new HBox();
                for(var i:Number=0; i< numberOfColumns; i++) {
                    var formInput:TextInput = new TextInput();
                    formInput.text = "test";
                    formInput.id = "txt_" +i;
                    hBox.addChild(formInput);
                formItem.addChild(hBox);
                loansForm.addChild(formItem);
I can see the text input components, update the values.
How can I get the updated values from the input components?
I try this["txt_" + i].text but not working. It's not finding the component with the dynamic value.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Dynamic Forms and WF

Hello,
I have designed a dynamic form, where user can add rows dynamically by clicking a button on the form, the form is working fine in preview in designer.
this form is initiating a LC WF process, but, if I deploy this form to form manager as an XDP and choose to render it to PDF, adding rows function does not work, however if I save this as dynamic PDF from LC designer and deploy it again to form manager, it works !!
However, I can not use PDF generated from LC Designer since I found that commenting and annotations are not working ( I am using acrobat ) which is an important feature, also, web services calls are not working even, again from Acrobat!
How can I set the form server installed with workflow server to render XDP templates into dynamic PDF forms ?
Or alternatively how to enable commenting and fix web service calls in PDF rendered form ?
Thank you for help,
Greetings,

By default Forms and Form Manager are configured to render a PDF as either static or dynamic based on some values in the XDP. By default those values will tell it to render a static PDF. What you can do, in Designer save as a dynamic PDF, then open the dynamic PDF in Designer and save as an XDP. Upload that XDP to Form Manager, the tags will be present to tell it to be rendered as a dynamic PDF. There's a better way if you are using Designer 7.1 and Forms 7.1, but since I don't know your environment this is a way that will work regardless of versions.
Annotations will not work in dynamic PDF's though. Currently annotations make no sense in dyanmic PDF's since the template of the PDF can dynamically change while annotations are bound to a specific location. IE: You have a dynamic PDF that is initial 4 pages and add an annotation to page 4. Later the template of the PDF changes based on data and user interaction and it is now a 2 page PDF, but the annotation is still on page 4 which no longer exists...

Remove scroll bars in dynamic form

Hi all,
I'm starting to kick myself every time I put a post here. Apologies and thank you for everyone's help - slowly but shortly I'll be one of the people answering the questions.
Really easy one (I think). A have a dynamic form, which updates a dynamic list. Is there a way to alter a text area in the dynamic form, so that it is a fixed area i.e. when you get to the end of the line/characater usage, the cursor goes down to the next line rather than creating a horizontal scroll bar and running forever into the distance. I have played around with Wrap options without luck, the css doesn;t seem to play much of a part as this is an actual text area in Dreamweaver as opposed to a CSS clipping in the list.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Perfect! Thank you Albert. Is it possible to add virtual wrap to a box in a dynamic list? As that is not presented in a normal html form'ish style way.....?
Hi Nathan,
as a Dynamic List displays pure text only, you´ll need to help yourself by formatting the displayed column using PHP. There are several ways to add "virtual" line breaks, and the most straightforward (though certainly not the most elegant) solution would be to apply the PHP function wordwrap which wraps a string to a given number of characters.
The following example will wrap the text after 40 chars, and the "wordwrap" function will - as always - have to replace ADDT´s default "KT_FormatForList" function:
<?php echo wordwrap($row_rsqueryname1['columnname'], 40, "<br />\n"); ?>

Firefox checks on the server if the file has been modified if you use the back button.<br />
If the page was requested by sending post data to the server then Firefox sends that post data and asks for confirmation.<br />
You can try to use the tab history of the Back button skip sites that require sending post data.
You can also try if it works if you set to never check the server by setting the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency pref to 2.

Saving dynamic forms in Acrobat Reader

How do you create PDF dynamic forms and save them so that they can be completed and saved in Acrobat Reader.

Thank you very much for your help. As I said this was my first attempt with Livecyle. I had sold the concept of dynamic forms to a collegue and promised to do a dynamic form one for him before going on a winter holiday. Completed the form in a hurry only to find I could not enable users with Acrobat Reader. My worry was that I would not be able to save dynamic forms without additional software, but your helpful comments confirm its something I have done that is causing my issue.
I think Livecycle is a great product, but fragmented information is available for individual users. Bought the Book PDF Forms Using LifeCycle Designer (Acrobat 9) and joined PDFscripting web service which are both good in there own way. I get confused with Adobe's help, not being IT techie and the difference of Enterprise Editions of LifeCycle on how to get the best out of LiveCycle.
Many thanks George for you assistance, I will retry when I return from my winter break.

How to get the index of subform in dynamic Forms??

We are creating a Dynamic Form in which there is a field "PAN number" in a block. With the Script, we are replicating the blocks. Suppose there are 10 blocks (hence 10 PAN number fields will be there) and if the user wants to enter the PAN number in any of the blocks, how can we get the index of the block on which a value has been entered?

Are you sure you are using JTree? (I couldn't find a method named getIndex at all!)
As I couldn't quite understand what you are getting at, one thing that would be helpful is if you refer to "How to use Trees" in The Java Tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html

Broken Delete button in Dynamic Form. For the ADDT gurus!

I have a feeling i may be at Günter's mercy on this one. Hope you have time to look at this; of course for any and all, the same applies!
I have a dynamic list which i spent quite a lot of time with - rearranging elements within the ADDT generated KT_tng table. Just moving one recordset piece can take up to 30 seconds, so it takes QUITE a while with a lot of data to move.
Anyways, i seem to have "broken" the delete button in mine. I hope someone can help me fix it, i really dont have time to redo all the changes i did to the dynamic list layout. (i did test as i went to make sure i didnt break it, but guess i just missed a piece..) I changed mainly the location of things, and CSS.
I have an older version where the delete button works. I have compared but cannot find the answer. Both versions do everything else, live, with the database & their respective dynamic forms.
I have all 4 files live, and unprotected, for now, and txt versions of all four. If you need to test anything with the live pages, its ok, most of the data is dummy data.
Ive been saturated in ADDT dynamic lists, and dont have a background of hand coder, but am learning a lot, quick. so i have tried hard to understand this exact issue i created - im not looking for others to do my work. just my little disclaimer :)

Include the following javascript code under the onClick event of the delete button.
It works for me.
onClick:
var x=window.confirm('Are you sure ?')
if (x)
do_event(this.form,this.name,1,'ON_CLICK','');
else
return false

Is there ANY way to keep track of changes or versions in a dynamic form, viewed in Reader

I need to provide a measure of content control.
I looked at acrobat.com for help. There is a rather convoluted method and I don't know if I can get my company to go along with it.
I have a dynamic form and it has to be dynamic, so I cannot change it to static to give it Comment/Markup ability - out of the question.
Does anyone know of ANY way to keep track of changes or comments or anything? And if you know, please be as specific as possible.
Thanks!

No replies, so I assume that there isn't any way to do this at present. Do people agree that this would be a really useful feature?

XML data within dynamic form

Hi,
I'm trying to make a new XML Schema connection inside the form designer, I successfully made the connection and get the data inside my form, but I have only one problem, I have a huge number of records which I decided to make them as a dropdown list, they are about 11000 records, OK, now to the problem which is if I save the form as a static pdf form the list will be filled completely with the data came from the XSD file, and the produced file size is about 3 M, but if I save it as dynamic pdf form, the produced file size is about 400 K, but if I tried to access the dropdown list inside the file, it takes forever to load, without getting any result at the end.
OK, my personal conclusion is that in case of the static forms the data saved inside the pdf file, but in case of the dynamic forms the data is not saved there.
I need to save the file as dynmic pdf because I have a table that needs to add new row accoriding to the user click on a button of (add new row).
So, can any one help me to fix this issue?

Sorry, I found the solution:
when I use the Adobe Reader 8.0.0 or Adobe Acrobat professional 8.0.0
the stuff works normally, but in case of Adobe Reader 8.1.1 or Adobe Acrobat professional 8.1.1 this problem happens,
Now I'll explain:
1- I have a form with dropdown list.
2- I want to populate this dropdown list from XSD file has structure similar to the following:
=====================================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="shipRequest">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="orders">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="order" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="shipVia">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="Ground"/>
<xs:enumeration value="2 Day Air"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Overnight"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
====================================================================
but with one main difference, that the element of shipVia has about 11000 of (<xs:enumeration ) elements.
3- when I made the normal steps of make new connection to XSD file, it walked with me normally without any errors.
4- incase I save this form as static pdf file, then open it with adobe professional, the menu is working smoothly and load the data inside perfectly.
5- incase I sace this form as dynamic pdf file, if I try to open the dropdown list, it takes forever to load the data.
very starnge that this problem happen with the newer version, so any idea for this??
