Dynamically populating form -

I need to make a dynamically populating form - I cannot find the instruction - is there a video on adobe tv? Please help me - I am desperate. Thanks a lot! K_S_

Hi..
I think you can do it with ADF .When you click field1 in your form get the value to bean using serverListner.And create method in AMImpl to filter records from TableB by passing your field1 value.make sure to add client interface to this filter method(clientInterface in yourAM.xml) and add it to page using bindings to as methodAction.Then you can show filtered TableB using popoup.

Saving dynamically populated pdf forms

We have forms developed in Live Cycle that are dynamically populated.
We have extended these forms in Acrobat so that users may save them with the pre-populated data.
Our issue is that the user must manipulate the form in some manner, such as changing a field, in order for it to be saved with the pre-populated data.
Is there a way we can enable the user to simply open the form that has been dynamically populated and save it with this data simply by doing a "Save As"?
Thanks in advance for any help offered~
~Chris

> So, it appears that a server product is necessary to utilize and activate Reader Rights for users... Is this correct?
No. Acrobat Pro 8 and 9 can activate certain rights, such as saving, which is what you said you did in your original post.
Like I said earlier, the problem you're experiencing is odd, and may be related to the way the form was created in LiveCycle Designer or the way in which you are populating the form with data. If I were you, I would pose this question in a Designer-related forum. Include the details related to how the form is being dynamically populated. It would also be helpful to be able to look at a document in question.

Paper form barcodes dynamically populated

The form has been Reader Enabled using LC RE,so how to dynamically populated by adobe reader?
thanks.

My code to access the firstName is here:
public String selectCustomer() {
 logger.debug("Inside selectCustomer ()");
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 CustomerProfileBean cpBean = customerProfileBean();
 String firstName = cpBean.getFirstName(); //First name is null here
 return "success";
 protected CustomerProfileBean customerProfileBean() {
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 ValueBinding vb = context.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{CustomerProfileBean}");
 return (CustomerProfileBean) vb.getValue(context);
 }Scope is request...My question is - does h:outputLabel actually post back to the action?
In the mean time, as a temporary ugly solution, I have done this:
<h:outputLabel id="FirstNM"></h:outputLabel>
<h:inputHidden id="FirstNMHidden" value="#{CustomerProfileBean.firstName}"></h:inputHidden>I populate both FirstNM and FirstNMHidden with javascript, where the first is used to display to the page and the second posts the value...Seems ugly?
Thanks for your help.

Dynamically populated parameter clears previously entered parameters

Software: Crystal Reports XI with MS SQL Server 2008
I've created a report that asks for three parameters, 2 dates, and a string which is dynamically populated. The report has two tables added in the database expert.
The first table is a command object which passes the two date parameters to a stored procedure:
exec sp_MyStoredProcedure {?startdate},{?enddate}
The second table is a stored procedure object used to populate the string parameter {?_users}. The criteria for the string parameter are:
Prompt with Description only: False
Allow multiple values: True
Allow discrete values: True
Allow range values: False
This stored procedure object requires no parameters, and was originally a view in the database, but it the same problem occurs whether i dynamically populate the string parameter options from either a view or a stored procedure. I'd like to go back to using a view, as i do not need to pass any kind of parameters to the stored procedure
The string parameter is used for defining the record selection formula:
IF {Command.user_name} in {?_users} THEN true ELSE false.
The two tables are not linked in the database expert, but linking them does not seem to solve the problem I am having with this report, the problem being this:
No matter which order I set the parameters, it always first displays a form showing only the prompts for the date values. After entering these, it then shows a form prompting for the date values again (the previously selected date information now cleared), along with the list of users from which to select. On this 2nd form, the parameters are displayed in the order I set using the field explorer option presented when I right click on the Paramter Fields heading. After entering the date parameter values a 2nd time, and selecting the users from the dynamically generated list, the report performs as intended.

Edited by: Duraplex on Nov 12, 2010 6:57 PM - After contacting the tech dept of my employer, they are applying a service pack update to my installation, I am hoping this resolves the issue. Will post an update as soon as I know more.
Edited by: Duraplex on Nov 12, 2010 7:35 PM - After applying SP4 to my installation, the problem persists. I did note however that removing the string parameter and record selection formula, and then recreating them, does somewhat solve the issue temporarily - i still am presented with two forms, but the second form doesn't clear the previously entered date parameters. However, once i save the report, and reload it, the problem manifests again and the date parameters are cleared when presented on the 2nd form. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

Hi,
Once record status gets change for block you can not populate/repopulate the list item. Keep those list items as non-database item with different names and create different items as database orignal items. Than assign the values in WHEN-LIST-CHANGE trigger to the actual database items.

Getting started with create dynamic XML forms

I work for a software vendor that is developing a C#.Net data entry system designed to replace a paper process. The original forms come from a 3rd party and are paper form, such as a tax form, loan application form, etc. The goal is to be able to enter data on the screen in a form that looks like something like the original form and then to print out the form that looks identical to the form on the screen.
The system is designed to allow the end user to create the forms. The process is that the end user creates the fields in the C#.Net application, then pick from those fields to build the form. During data entry, the fields are both pre populated by the C#.Net application and the results are saved back to the C#.Net application.
The data entry and print all needs to be embedded into the core C#.Net application and NOT rely on any outside systems like the LifeCycle system.
Is there some way to embed PDF creation in the C#.Net application (or in a traditional C/C++ application for that matter)? I am under the impression that is what dynamic XML forms is all about. Is dynamic XML forms an Adobe thing or an open standard?

You are funny I clearly state that I do *NOT* want to use LiveCycle Designer and you go tell me to post a question in that forum Hopefully someone else will come along which can actually address my questions

Dynamically populating more than one field using xml data binding

Hi All, I have the following code that works fine to dynaically populate a second drop-down list2 from a choice in drop-down list1 using xml data biding. var tempString = "xfa.record." + this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText); var oItems = xfa.resolveNode(tempString); var nItemsLength = oItems.nodes.length; myinfo.page1.state.clearItems(); myinfo.page1.state.rawValue = null; for (var nItemCount = 0; nItemCount < nItemsLength; nItemCount++) { myinfo.page1.state.addItem(oItems.nodes.item(nItemCount).value); } Here is my xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <myinfo> <country/> <countries> <item uiname="United States" token="US"/> <item uiname="South Africa" token="SA"/> <item uiname="Australia" token="AU"/> </countries> <state/> <AU> <item>Australian Capital Territory</item> <item>New South Wales</item> <item>Northern Territory</item> <item>Queensland</item> <item>South Australia</item> <item>Tasmania</item> <item>Victoria</item> <item>Western Australia</item> </AU> <US> <item>California</item> <item>New York</item> <item>Texas</item> <item>Michigan</item> <item>North Carolina</item> <item>South Carolina</item> </US> <SA> <item>Eastern Cape</item> <item>Free State</item> <item>Gauteng</item> <item>KwaZulu-Natal</item> <item>Limpopo</item> <item>Mpumalanga</item> <item>Northern Cape</item> <item>North-West</item> <item>Western Cape</item> </SA> </myinfo> I have two questions: 1) I want to be able to structure my xml in a way that I can populate a third drop-down list3 from a choice in list2. I need to know how to to include the different capital cities of the states in my xml data so that they can get populated in list3 from a selection in list2; 2) And be able to script the third list3 to get dynamically populated from a choice in list2. Thanks in advance for your help.

I would like to ask someone for help.
I have an XML file a result of the XSLT transformation. A schema was created based on this XML and this schema is bound to a form as a data source. When I preview my form using a Preview tab with transformed XML as a Data File in LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I can see only the first form data across 3 Text fields on the form. The rest of the forms are not getting displayed. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the part of the XML file Im trying to display on the form:
 FORM 1
 FORM 1 DESCRIPTION
 $5000
 FORM 2
 FORM 2 DESCRIPTION
 $7000
 FORM 3
 FORM 3 DESCRIPTION
 $4000
Part of the schema that was created based on the XML file from above:
Thank you.

Date parameter values cleared when dynamically populating string parameter

After subsequently running the report (prompting for new parameter values by pressing F5), it does not clear the date parameters on the 2nd form's appearance.
What I need is to be able to enter in these values the first time around, without having the date parameters cleared. Am i going about this incorrectly, or is this a bug?

What you are experiencing is not a bug... Passing a multi-valued parameter to a Command or SP is not supported in any version of CR prior to CR 2008.
Your options are #1) Upgrade to CR 2008 or #2) Jump through the necessary hoops to make it work in CR XI

How can you update the content of a textfield in a dynamic xml form from MSAccess and VBA

I am trying to use the code below to update a field in a dynamic xml form created by Livecycle.
I can read the field content but cannot change it.
What am I missing?
Thanks
R
Sub test()
Dim oPDF As AcroPDDoc
Dim FileDestName As String
Dim jso As Object
Dim ofld As Object
    FileSrcName = "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ADOBE Forms\NoVB.pdf"
    Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set jso = oPDF.GetJSObject
    Set ofld = jso.getfield("form1.TopForm.Header.Subform1.Contact")
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
     ofld.Value = "HHH"
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
oPDF.Save PSsavefull, FileSrcName
oPDF.Close
Set jso = Nothing
Set oPDF = Nothing
End Sub

You need to research the difference between an AcroForm and an XFA form. You're trying to access a "Field" object, which is an AcroForm object. An XFA form does not have fields, it has nodes. The JavaScript you are using is specific to AcroForms and you are working with an XFA form.

Adding rows in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.

Hi Experts,
I am having problem in web dynpro ABAP Dynamic Interactive form.
This is my scenario....
I have a dynamic interactive form that has buttons to add and remove rows in a table. It works fine when I preview it , but when I render, view or save it using ADS, it no longer works. The "add" button actually does instantiate more repeating rows, because I put some trace messages in to count them, but the added rows are not displayed. How do I make them visible?
In web dynpro java we write some coding in modify view to set the pdf form as dynamic
IWDInteractiveForm iForm =
(IWDInteractiveForm)view.getElement("<ID>");
iForm.setDynamicPDF(true);
simillarly what we need to write in web dynpro ABAP.
Please give me solution for the same.
Thanks,

How to make dynamic PDF form flowable across 2 pages in LiveCycle?

I have a dynamic PDF form that is flowable on each page but not both. By that I mean that the fields on the 2nd page won't move to the 1st page if there is available space. How can I make the entire document flowable? I am using Adobe LiveCycle ES2 Designer to create the form. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you need just one page which is flowable and allows page breaks.

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - Adobe Dynamic XML Forms?

How can you convert a dynamic XML form design in a static PDF Form design? I tried to save a dynamic XML Form as a static PDF Form, and then tried to preview it in Designer but the layout change scripts were working which should work only for dynamic xml forms and not for the static pdf forms. Please suggest another way to do it. Thanks in advance.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Hyperlink in a dynamic PDF form

Hi guys,
I've created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle designer, and I want to insert hyperlink in to this form - but I don't know how to do it. My Link Tool in Adobe Acrobat is inactive.
Any advice?
Cheers
Marian

Thanks,
I just needed to change text field to rich text and now I'm able to insert an URL. But now another problem pops up - I'd like to open directly from this PDF a file stored on the DFS file sharing server. My links open in browser - how can I fix this please?

Dynamic .pdf forms

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find an application for my Curve 3300 that is able to render Adobe Dynamic XML Forms (it's a .pdf form, but it is created using LiveCycle Designer and has dynamic content that makes finding a renderer difficult.)
I've tried the free trial of beamberry, and it isn't able to render the form... I get a "you need a newer version of adobe reader" error.
Has anyone else out there had the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it? Can PDF To Go read dynamic .pdf forms?
I'd appreciate any help that any one can offer.
- Scott
P.S. does anyone know which version of Adobe Reader is functionally equivalent to the Blackberry .pdf reader apps? Is it possible to know that, or are they two different creatures altogether?
P.P.S. I figure that alot of people won't have any experience with dynamic .pdf forms... Here is a link to a sample dynamic .pdf form that I created for testing purposes. If you think that you have an app that can read it, please try opening the linked .pdf file on your blackberry. If anyone out there is able to view it, please let me know what software you are using. Thanks alot for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For anyone in the future who has a similar issue, I've come up with a fairly simple workaround. It adds an extra step of work, but it allows you to continue using dynamic forms in your workflow.
The ideal solution is if your office has a server-side adobe document output service. You can push your form to the server, have it extract the data into a datawarehouse, then output a flattened .pdf. A flattened .pdf cannot be (easily) edited, and all code behind is removed. This solution is the 'best', (and it's the only way to flatten an xfa form, as far as Adobe is concerned) but it also costs some coin, especially if you don't have any existing infrastructure to support the server-side service.
The free solution (which I have opted for) is to use a virtual printer to 'print' the document to a suitable format. There are many free virtual printers out there, but I have decided to go with CutePDF Writer. I print to the CutePDF writer, and the output is, essentially, a flattened Blackberry compatible .pdf form. The only issue is that you cannot edit a flattened document (a bonus in my situation, but still something to keep in mind... You can still edit the original document, as the flattened .pdf is a copy, not a transformation.)
You can even add a print button to the form with some JavaScript to specify the printer as 'CutePDF Writer'. Altogether, it's easier than recreating all of the business forms that have been made in a static format, and you can still leverage all the benefits of a dynamic form.
I know that this isn't central to the Blackberry, and I apologize for that, but I had a rough time with this issue, and I'm hoping to help someone with the same issue in the future. Again, thanks to those who helped.
