Dynamic Form - Open in Acrobat - Import Data - Expand

I have created an dynamic form with the Designer 7.0. It does repeat one line. When changing to the Desinger PDF preview, using a XML as an import file, the line gets repeated serveral times.
What I'd like to achieve is, that I can use Acrobat 7 for this. Opening the Form as a PDF, import the Data, and the lines should repeate.
Is this possbile?
Do I need to do some scripting for this?
Thankx, Cheers Harry

Thankx to dohanlon - he provided the following information in another thread AND IT DID HELP! THANKX:
Make sure your form is saved as a dynamic form. Other formats will not allow you to add / remove items using static / Acro 6 compatability mode.
Also make sure your structure for the items use the following
+ Subform (Flow Content)
+ Subform (Position Content)
+ Fields, etc
and make sure you have your Position Content Subform set to repeat.

How can I detect Form Open event and Import data event ?

We are using Adobe Designer 7 and Adobe Reader 7.0.5. When we open a Form, Initialize event is being called. Similarly when we Import any data, initialize event is being called. At the Initialize event, I want to know whether it is caused by Opening the Form (or) Importing the data. Please respond as we were completely stuck up with this issue.

My screenshot was only an example how you can approach the issue. I wasnt saying that you should try it with AI....
Just take a closer look into the DAQmx Events and you will discover something like this:
hope this helps,

PDF Form opening on Acrobat X

I cannot open a downloaded PDF Form on Acrobat X on Mac, but it opens on Acrobat Reader. My Plug.in AcroForm is loaded. Any hint or halp available?
Message given by ACROBAT X:
"Unable to read the form. Do not save and exit the program as it might cause data corruption or
loss. The form can only be edited using Adobe Reader software!"

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. I disabled JAVA and got now the following message:
"If the form is viewed in "Protected View" mode, all features should be
enabled for the form to
function properly. If after enabling all features this message is still
visible, check that JavaScript
is enabled in Edit Preferences Javascript"
Enabling JAVA leads again to the initial message?
Best!

Call Dynamic Form Wizard via a POST data

Is it possible to call a Dynamic Form Wizard form via POST from another form?
I can get my form to work for an Update and Delete transaction, but I can't get it to work with an Insert - I can't prime fields.
Conversely, I can get it to work with an Insert transaction, but then it stops working for Update and Delete transactions!!!!
Calling a form with URL parameters is really frowned upon these days and ADDT needs to be updated to allow for the POST technique!

Need help getting form created in Acrobat X to email form data back to me

The form I created seems to work from my computer that has Acrobat X installed but when I try to submit the PDF with a computer that only has Reader installed it says "This Operation is Prohibited."
The end users of this form will most likely only have Adobe Reader, how do I set up my form so that it is compatible with Reader?
Thanks for your help!

You have 2 choices and one depends on your satisfying the limits of the EULA (no more than 500 submissions basically). For the latter, you have the entire form submitted and you have to enable Reader Rights in Acrobat. On this machine (AA8), it is under the Advanced menu, not sure with AAX (I think they moved it). For the other choice that does not have the license limit, you do not activate Reader Rights, but have the data submitted as an FDF file (XML if you are using Designer, but then Designer questions should really go to the LiveCycle forum). When you receive the FDF or XML file, you simply go to the forms menu in Acrobat > Manage Data, and import the data. The FDF Toolkit also allows separate manipulation of data files.

Detect if fillable form is open in Acrobat (as opposed to Reader or web browser)

I have a fillable form that is Reader Extended (so it can be saved from Adobe Reader). After a user fills in the form, he clicks a submit button that sends a data stream to a servlet. The servlet embeds this data as XML in another version of the form, converts the form to be PDF/A compliant, and returns the new PDF/A form with embedded data. That all works fine when the fillable form was open in either Reader or a web browser. But if the user has the fillable form open in Acrobat when he clicks the submit button, the embedded data is stripped out of the PDF/A form that's returned by the servlet.
It's not a problem if the user fills in the data while the form is open in Acrobat, as long as he closes the form and opens it in Reader or a web browser before clicking the submit button.
Is there a way to detect if the fillable form is open in Acrobat (perhaps in the preSubmit event?) so I can display a message warning the user to save and close the form, and then open it in Reader or a web browser before clicking the submit button?

I added the following code to my submit button, but it gives me the same appType and host.name values for IE and Acrobat, so I can't tell them apart:
var
viewerType = xfa.host.appType;
var
viewerName = xfa.host.name;xfa.host.messageBox("Viewer is "
+ viewerType);xfa.host.messageBox("Host is "
+ viewerName);
viewerType is Exchange-Pro
viewerName is Acrobat

How to make my dynamic form pages flow correctly?

I have created a dynamic form which has multiple questions with expandable text fields that will take multiple pages once completed. I do not know how to make the form flow correctly past the first page. I can attach the form if I knew how to do that.

Thank you Paul. Your editing assistance was greatly appreciated. I think I now understand that there should be only one page subform that is flowed, regardless of how many text box objects I have in my questionnaire. This did the trick.

Where do I hide the color in form fields in Acrobat DC?

Where do I hide the blue color in form fields in Acrobat DC?

Hello Jeady,
George's JavaScript suggestion is a good answer.
You can also turn on form field highlighting via a menu item as you could via the button in the blue bar in Acrobat XI.
In Acrobat DC, do the following:
1. Open your form.
2. Select the Prepare Form tool.
3. In the right-hand pane Prepare Forms tools, click the dropdown for More.
4. On the More menu, select "Highlight Existing Fields" to toggle the setting.
The setting sticks until changed for all forms open in Acrobat.
Regards,
Charlene

Using .ods File to import data

How to use the .ods file which is generated from Open Office for importing data in Siena.

Hey Anurag,
Thanks for the post!
You could convert the .ods file into .xlsx and use the Excel file in Project Siena. There are many ways to convert the file but here is one option that worked for me:
Create/Save the OpenOffice Calc file in some location
Launch Excel and use the File Open option read the .ods file (in Excel 2013, the file type option reads "OpenDocument Spreadsheet")
Save the converted file in .xlsx format. Format any Table data so they can be recognized in Project Siena.
Launch Project Siena and use the add data source option to import the xlsx file.
Your mileage might vary depending on the formulas/tables in the .ods. Let us know if you run into any issues.
Thanks!

Importing data into dynamic form

I have not yet had a chance to work with LiveCycle, and I have been given a project which I need to determine if LiveCycle would be the correct solution. The client originally wanted this to be a Microsoft Word form, but I doubt that I can meet the requirements using Word.
I need to design a form which a user can enter multiple line items either manually, or by importing existing data. The data itself would be about 40-50 distinct pieces of data, in a block of several sections and multiple lines (i.e Name, Address block, Phone/fax/email, contact and comment section, etc) and would be a combination of text fields and checkboxes. There would be 2-3 of these blocks per page (with a static header/footer), plus a cover page with data fields for the organization using the form.
I know that I could create this type of dynamic form in LiveCycle to be entered manually, but I don’t know what options, if any, I would have in giving the user the ability to import existing data from an unknown source (could be a text file, a local or hosted database, excel, etc.).
My questions are about the feasibility of LiveCycle for this project:
Can data be imported from a data source the user chooses? Are there any limitations to what kinds of data sources can be used? Would I need to program a custom function to allow the user to match the proper fields for the import, or is there a built in function to handle this?
Would there be any platform/application limitations? Can the form be used with Reader on a desktop computer (Mac or PC), or on a tablet (and if so, is a specific app necessary instead of the default app)?
Are there any other foreseeable issues I may have to deal with?

Thanks for the info. A few followup questions if you don't mind:
1. Needs to configure an ODBC-connection on every system it is used.
This form will be sent to our client, and they will send it to their customers. Can the connection setup be scripted, or is it simple enough that a generic set of instruction can be given to the end user to allow them to setup the connection and map their fields to the form's content easily?
2. Requires Acrobat or a reader-enabled from to use in Reader. Data is automatically populated in the form fields. Only xml files for import allowed. Allows to use XSLT to format imported data.
I doubt that the end user would have their data in a compatible XML format, so this option may not be necessary. Is Reader-enabling a form in LiveCycle comparable to the process in Acrobat? I have heard LiveCycle Enterprise is very expensive and required for certain functions, does this apply here? Does this require a specific server setup for these forms?
3. Difficult scripting to update field values automatically. Works in Reader and Acrobat.
The data would not need to be updated automatically, just pull current data into the form. This would be a one-way operation, there would be no need to update the data source from values within the form. I would still need to give the user a way to map their fields to the form.
Are you aware of any tutorials or example files that would help give me a start? I had a brief look at the LiveCycle Designer ES2 Scripting Reference, but I"m not sure which objects to look into.
None of these methods will work on mobile devices as there is currently no support of XFA in Reader Mobile.
Good to know. The same is probably true if I were to create the form in Word/Office.

Import data into a form in Acrobat Pro X

Have followed directions on importing data in text format into a form in Acrobat Pro X . Does not work. Is it possible to import a large amount of data into a form and have multiple forms created? Very frustrating and disappointing.

Here's a recent topic that discusses this type of thing: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3397600
Note that some of the code that was posted isn't correct, but you will see the general approach outlined. It does require some JavaScript programming. Have you done any before?

How to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, a

how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

Easiest way to do it is the following:
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
- Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
- Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
- Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
- Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
- Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
- Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
- Select the edited XML file and import it.
- Done!

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??
