Dynamic forms that keep changes?

I am trying to get a dynamic form built that will keep the changes that are made when the file is saved and then opened up again. For example If I have 6 sub forms to begin with and I delete 3 of them and text to others (some of them expand) and save the document then close it I would like to be able to open the document and see only the 3 sub forms there. Instead when I open the document the 3 changed fields in their respective sub forms are as they should be but the other sub forms show up too.
I'm not sure what I need to do to remedy this. Any Ideas anyone?

Is there a solution?

Dynamic form font color changes after saving

I have a dynamic form that before the user clicks inside a textfield ghost text appearance is set to red once the user starts typing I have an event set to turn the font to black.
The problem is, once form is saved and reopened the font color is red instead of black. How can I get the font color to remain black?
I am thinking that script should be in the PreSave event if so, please provide an example of how it should be written.
Thanks

I have several events happening in the text field
for the ghost text (tool tip) I have set an initialize event: (by the way I did choose the color red for the font in the color picker for the tooltip color)
this.execEvent("exit");
this.format.picture.value = "null{' " + this.assist.toolTip.value + " '}";
Enter event: (this changes the font to black and bullets appear)this.fontColor + "0,0,0";
this.font.posture = "normal";
if(this.rawValue === null)
    this.rawValue = "l ";
Exit event
if (this.isNull)
   this.fontColor = "255,0,0,";
   this.fontposture = "italic";

Table Format order and visibility in Form Settings keeps changing

Dear Experts,
We are facing a concurrent problem where there is constant change in the table format of the form settings in marketing documents.
The columns order keeps changing and also the visibility box which will be ticked, becomes again unticked the next day for particular columns which are used.
Event though it is set one time in manager login and locked the doc settings for other end users. The format keeps changing.
It has to be set dially manually. Is there a permanent solution for it .

Form Fields Keep Changing

I am new to Acrobat XI Pro. I am creating a fillable form. I have all my fields in place i.e. text, check box, etc. and in the process of cleaning up the form by resizing and shifting some of the fields. When I make a change in size or position of one field, it changes all the other fields at the same time, which messes up the whole form. Is there a setting I am not "unchecking" or a way to prevent this from altering the rest of the form?

Are you saying that it changes the sizes of the other fields when you change one, or is something else being changed?

I'm having problems with iTunes that keeps changing the genre of music that I have already changed

I'm a Dj and I make extensive use of inteligent playlists mostly defined by genre and classification.
I currently have about 70 different playlists, and almost everyone are very important, because I know what music to play, but in some cases I don't remember the name. So it's very usefull for me to know where I can find it according to the genre that I defined.
BUT!! WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT iTunes keeps changing the genre of some music to the previous that is available on the itunes store (that I don't use because is too vague)
Do you know what might be happening?

Hello Torre,
DAQmx is in fact more efficient than Traditional DAQ, so this behavior you describe shouldn't be the rule. I haven't been able to debug/check thoroughly your code, so here's what I suggest:
a) Try the W2000 option to give more time to background processes (see this link).
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/28A6979ECA9A0CAF862569050053D92D?opendocument
b) Try with the LabVIEW supplied DAQ examples which do a similar task and test/compare their performance
c) Check with the LabVIEW tools where the time is spent (Profile VIs tool)
Hope this will help !

I have a dynamic form that I created and I need to get it posted but am having some issues.
1. I need the fields to be optional and it tells me that the information entered is not what was expected
2. I have a button to click that will send the completed form to a department mailbox, but when the form arrives it is a .xml and only contains the newly entered information. What did I do wrong? I saved it as a dynamic pdf.
3. Is there a way to send you my form so that we can talk about it together???
I am on the verge of tears with frustration.....

Here is the warning message I get. This is from the Preview PDF mode.

I have working on this since January along with many other projects (mostly presentations) and the department that this form is for is chomping at the bit because they need to track their training requests coming in and are working to shift the process of how you request training for the entire enterprise. I am attaching the form so maybe you can take a peek at the damage I’ve done ☺ I think it would be helpful if I took a class, everything I’ve done I’ve taught myself with trial and tissues!
Thank you so very much for your advice and help I truly appreciate it!

Validation of multiple empty fields in dynamic form

Hi,
I have created multiple fields dynamic form consisting of both mandatory & optional fields. Since the mandatory fields are validated by default, I want to validate the optional fields while submitting as PDF document dynamically and prompt me to continue or discard the submission. Also validating each & every field is not valid option as my form contains more than 200 fields.
I have tried with the below script which I successfully used to lock the form but in validating the empty fields I have a problem. Although I populate all the fields in the form, still I receive the validation message. Can anybody help me out on this issue?
for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
// Set the field property.
for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
if (oFields.item(nNodeCount).isNull = 1 && oFields.item(nNodeCount).length < 0){
xfa.host.messageBox("All the form fields are not completed, Do you want to continue","Field Validation", 2, 2);
break
Thanks,

I discovered how to accomplish this using the Manage Dynamic Form Wizard and changed the "Display as" field property from "Text field" to "Text" for the fields I wanted read only.
Now I have another problem, the properties of one of the fields (for comments) was "Text area" when I changed it to "Text" I now have this extremely long line that streches the width of the browser.
Is there a way to get this line to wrap? This is he line I'm working with...
<td class="form_results"><?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rssubmissions['sub_comments']); ?></td>

I found the answer to this problem, Günter had answered it in another post.

Uploaded Admin to Server - Dynamic Forms don't work

Okay, got everything how I want it on the administration end and it works tested locally.
Uploaded to the web server and now the Dynamic Forms that I created using the Wizard are giving me an error.
Error:
Internal error.
Developer Details:
tNG_multipleUpdate.getLocalRecordset:
Error message:
No database selected
SQL statement:
SELECT First_Name,Last_Name,statusID,divisionID,owner_picture,ownerID, ownerID as kt_pk_owner FROM owner WHERE ownerID=3. (MUPD_RS)
tNG Execution Trace - VIEW
Thought maybe an include didn't get uploaded so redid those.
The Dynamic List page works, so the connection key is fine. The public site is fine too.
Suggestions?
Cheryl

Stepping back to the root cause (again, the SQL error message), what you should look at is that your database configuration is correct for the live server. This line:
<?php require_once('Connections/conn_sqh.php'); ?>
shows where the connection data is stored in the automatically generated files. Please ensure that the:
$database_sqh = "some_schema_name";
line has the correct value for your live server in place of "some_schema_name" as that is what the root cause of your error message is. You can change this in the ADDT Control Panel->Login Settings->Database tab by using the using the "Define.." button on the connection.
There is likely an easier way to access this info, but I would recommend simply rewriting the connection file to change the values based upon the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to get something that works locally and remotely without any changes. If you change the file, then ensure you set the parameter before modifying it based on the host:
$hostname_someconnection = "localhost";
if( isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) && $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] != 'localhost' )
$hostname_someconnection = "someconnection.local";
If you fail to do this in the correct order, then you can break the GUI. This technique lets you use a proper FTP tool for upload to a site which can save huge amounts of time but it also adds to your administrative overhead.

Making dynamic form flow on to next page

Hello,
I am trying to make a dynamic form that is expandable. I have succeeded in creating expanding fields, but have been unsuccessful in convincing those fields to flow on to the next page (which I have added). I have set all the content for my fields to flowed and have allowed page breaks in all of them. I suspect there might be a pagination issue, but I have not found any solid information about how to use it correctly. If I select any option other than the default in pagination (while the subform at the bottom of the page is selected), the whole form disappears. I realize I may have some inherent flaws in my design and will perhaps need to start over, but if anyone had a list of requirements for making things flow to the next page (after a set margin at the bottom of the page, i.e. at 1" from the bottom, the field entry splist, and continues at 1" from the top of page 2), I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
I wondered if you might be able to help me solve another flow issue? I've got my form working quite well now, but I', having an issue with the text fields. My fields have captions that ask a question, and the response should be in the field. I wondered if there was a way to make the text fields wrap onto the beginning of the next line as they expand, rather than going onto the next line at the limit of the text field. For example-
What is your favorite color?: (the response continues here and goes all the way to the end and on to the next
line and continues here.
rather than-
what is your favorite color?: text text etc etc
text text text etc etc.
Does that make any sense? Is it possible? Should I throw this to the forum?
Thanks!

Dynamic Form - Barcode on master page, only contents on specific page to be populated on barcode

We have a dynamic form that grows as required. We have one barcode on the master page. As form grows to next page only the contents on that page (ie page 2) must be on the barcode on page 2 and page 1 content only on page 1. But if the form goes back to normal then the contents must not be on the barcode anymore.
Could anyone assist on this problem please?

Dynamic Form Print Dialog Presets

For a Dynamic form, is it possible to define the Print Dialog Preset for Page Scaling?
In Acrobat, the option (File > Properties > Advanced ) is disabled for Dynamic forms, and there doesn't seem to be a way of setting it in Designer.
Is there some way to trick it (i.e. by setting it in some xml in the xdp that is not documented)?
It's a real pain having dynamic forms that get shrunk when printed.....

Hi,
Yes, it is not a pretty (or complete) solution!!
I don't think you can disable the File/Print or Control+P (nor would you want to). In Acroforms you can set the print parameters, but as far as I know you cannot do this in LC Designer XFA forms.
This probably is not going to help you but in any one session after the user prints using the button and then subsequently goes File/Print or Control+P, then Acrobat will "remember" the "no scaling".
Some of our multi page forms are split into sections, so to encourage users to use the print button we have buttons in each section, which are set to print that section only (this is useful to the user 'cause they do not need to work this out). If the user wants all of the document, they can click the radio button in the print dialogue.We also colour the print buttons green (with white captions) as a positive / go colour.
Someone else may have a more elegant / efficient solution that sets the print parameters on opening the form or prePrint.
I don't know what Adobe are planning, but you could add it to the wish list: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_next/feature_requests
Sorry I could not be of more help!

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?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...

Is it possible to have a PDF Form that is both static and dynamic?

So I have a form that I need to make that would consist of two different pages. The first being lots of form fields and some simple graphics where the user could use the comment markup tools to draw some simple lines. The second page would be all text and filling out narrative. So the second page being dynamic and being able to expand would be important. The first page would not need to expand at all. Is there any way to do this and still have the form be one file, one document? What about embedding a dynamic form inside of the static form? Such as how you can embed a word document inside of an excel form... I've done some research but I can't tell if this is even possible. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

Binding a schema to a form that contains a dynamic subform

I just posted this thread below, but it would not allow me to add the attachments, so I will mail them to livecycle8. Hope that's ok. Here's the original post
Hi, I have a schema bound to a form that utilizes a dynamic subform (min=1, max= unlimited occurrences of the subform).
I was wondering if someone might take a look at the form and schema to see if I have defined everything correctly and bound it correctly. The form has three layers of subforms, which are not needed for this particular example, but I just kept them there. I was trying to skinny down the form for the purpose of an example here, but left some leftover subforms out there ;-) My main concern is that I have the "Form1099INT" (dynamic) subform represented properly.
Anyway, if one could take a look, to see if I'm on target, I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Form and schema are mailed to livecycle8
Elaine

No, it isn't my email adress.
You can change file extensions to pdf, after that you will be able to post those files.
