Expandable forms
I have LiveCycle 8 and was wondering if this product can create expandable forms. If so, how would I go about to make expandable forms, tables and rows? Please let me know. Thank you.
To make the expandabale forms, follow these steps..
1) The top level subform should be Flowed.
2) The form should be saved as Dynamic PDF.
You can use either tables and rows/ fields wraped in Subforms on the form.
Hope this helps..
Thanks

Error trying to convert float to expanded form for a check application
I am writing a program to generate a check, but when it tries to parse the Float (netpay) into a String in expanded form (e.g. 1.23 becomes 1 dollar and twenty-three cents) it throws weird arrayOutOfBounds exceptions

You also can make the whole thing much cleaner with using the way things are phrased in English - you say "one million, one hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and seventy six pounds, thirty seven pence", so if you write a routine which converts an integer between 0 (inclusive) and 1000 (exclusive), and call that for the millions, thousands, units and cents in turn. You also might want to use localized strings in an array instead of coding everything as a sequence of switch statements. -
I am on a Mac and have CS6 with Acrobat X. I was going to purchase LiveCycle Designer but apparently it is PC only. I don't have a lot of time to learn or purchase a new program right now but will if I have to. Does Acrobat X have the ability to create expandable form fields? I am blown away at how hard this info is to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly new at creating editable PDFs. I have been creating them in InDesign and exporting as interactive PDFs. Thanks!!!

Thanks again!
It will cost you some money but you can run LiveCycle designer on Mac.
Here are steps:
Separate Hard drive to put the PC Partition on ($100 or so)
Software called Parallels (About $79.00)
Windows 7 Software ($2-300 dollars depending on version)
Live Cycle Designer (I think last I checked it was about $400.00)
Install Parallels on Mac and setup windows pration on the external Drive.
Install Windows on the external External Drive.
Install Live Cycle designer. On the PC Partition.
You can use the Mac Printer in Parallels to Print.
If you really need LiveCycle Designers features daily then this is the way to go.
Plus you get the oportunity get the joy of fighting all the Viruses, Worms, Trogans, Malware and zero day event afforded to modern PC's It will be as if you bought a you a HP, Toshiba, Dell computer. -
Query Builder and Expanded Form in Search
I've changed the labels of some metadata fields like content type. In the expanded form it shows OK, but in the query builder drop down it's still content type. How can I change it?
tnx in advanceHi, where did you make the change of label?
I use rules, so the way I do it (and it shows for both query builder and extended search) is by putting the value in the "use custom label" when I edit my rule.

Trying to expand form over two pages
Hi,
I'm trying to finish up a Purchase Order form that I've been working on sporadically for the last couple months... (which probably isn't helping me much because I'm forgetting what I've done and haven't done.)
Right now the form is only one page but we need it to be able to expand on to two pages if necessary. I believe I have it saved as a dynamic form. (I'm going to try to figure out how to attach the file so you can see what I've been up to.)
I want the table to be able to expand... (you'll see an add item button - but I've never been able to get it to work.) I've been lurking these forums and trying to copy samples... but with no success. The detail cells are set up that I can get multiple lines so that works.
I think I've got the form to work that as the cells expand everything flows down the page properly... the problem is that the subsequent information just dissapears rather than go onto another page. I can't figure out how to fix that for the life of me. If anyone can help... it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.You would need to also select "allow page breaks within content" for each subform that you want to allow to break across pages, i.e. your table subform and any other expanding subforms unless of course you have a section that has to stay together. You nearly had it from the start, just missing a couple checkboxes on the subforms.

Displaying ALV tree in expanded form in first ouput
Hi all,
I have a problem with alv tree. My requirement is, on the first output itself the alv tree should appear expanded depending on one of the filter criteria in the tool bar. How can i trigger the toolbar event in PBO itself? Can it be done? if yes please provide sample code. Points assured for helpfull answers.
Thanks,
ShafiqHi Walter,
The method CL_GUI_ALV_TREE->EXPAND_NODES has only one importing parameter and that is the nodes of the ALV tree. But the commenting of the following lines from my code made it work which i have made it bold.Thank you very much for your help.I Have awarded points for you.

Expandable Form won't create 2nd page
I’ve checked numerous posting on the forum and can't solve my problem with flowable forms using LiveCycle Designer 8.2. This is my first stab at creating expandable text fields and although there are numerous posting about not being able to get the text to flow onto a second page, none of the solutions work for me. The existing form only has 1 page, but I need it to create a second page if the text boxes expand.
I have 4 text fields that need to be able to expand and flow. Each of my text fields allow multiple lines, allow page breaks within content, expand to fit, and are put into subforms so they won't overlap each other when expanded. All four text fields/subforms are contained within another subform, also set to flow and break across pages. I have a row of logos at the bottom and I have put them on the Master Page as a footer.
The preview default is dynamic and the LiveCycle file is saved as dynamic XML. The text fields expand properly except when they reach the bottom of the page, at which point they overlap the logos on the footer and disappear. The subform “wrapper” for the 4 fields has an error message though: “This object may not work properly. Although the object is allowed to break, deselecting the Allow Page Breaks Within Content option of the parent object restricts this object from breaking between pages.” I don’t know how to fix that.
If I change my Page1 content subform (untitled subform page 1) to flow instead of positioned all the formatting goes wacky and objects are positioned all over the place – most of them shoot over to a second page that’s created.
Is this fixable at all?That creates total chaos but I think I may have figured out what is going on. I found an example of the same issue...
"The form was a converted word doc and it basically exploded when I set the layout to flowable. There were so many remnants from word that most of the form was jettisoned off the bottom of the page. It looked like garbage.
Hierarchy is important because the flowable layout (with: ‘top to bottom’ flow direction) relies on the order of the elements for positioning.
So we resolved to rebuild the form from scratch and it’s working nicely." -
Restricting an expandable form to a Sub Form
With the help of the forum I was able to create a 6 column form with expandable rows based on a button click. The form is only designed to be one page and there are a few text boxes at the bottom of the page.
How can I restrict the form's growth to stay within its subform, which I have sized to end just above the text boxes?
As it stands now you can continue adding rows that continue right over the text boxes to the end of the page.
Thanks,Thanks Paul,
With the subform selected, in looking under the Binding tab the "Repeat table for each data item", the option is disabled.
Is there a setting I'm missing to enable it? -
Expanding Text to fit expanding form field
I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have embedded some text fields in paragraphs which are dynamic and adjust but now I am having a hard time getting the text within the paragraph to adjust to the form field. Is there a way I can do this? Sorry if this is a simple question.
what you need is flooting field in the running text. You can use as many flooting fields as you need in text. Focus in that direction.

Save and submit issues with nested/expanding form
I've built two forms in designer (Form_B and Form_C, we'll say) which use scripted repeating subforms to accomodate a range of inputs without presenting the user with piles of fields. I need both of them to correctly maintain their state when saved and re-opened, and transmit the data I need through acrobat.com distribution.
Form B currently doesn't save and re-open correctly:
There are two levels of repetition, Areas and Categories. There can be one or more Areas, and each Area has one or more Categories. If I open the form (in Acrobat Pro) and fill it out with 2 areas, each area having 2 categories, when i save and re-open the file the second Area is gone, and the first Area has 4 categories.
Form C has many fields (up to 1500+) but I only need a fraction of them to be submited
On the assumption that the settings in the "binding" pallet would controll this for me, I made a script to unbind all the unnnessisary fields pre-submit, and reverse the changes post-submit. When I test this, the fields still save and submit despite being set fieldName.bind.match = "none". I would also like to temporarily re-name the submitted fields so they come through with unique names. I have a script to do this, and I tested it by running the script (confirming that they changed by looking at the mouse-over tooltip) and saving the form in that state. The form will open back up with the old(unchanged) names and those fields have lost other layout settings.
On both forms, all fields and subforms are normally set to binding = "normal", or fieldName.bind.match = "once"
I currently have no external data bindings (the data view pallet is blank.)
Any thoughts on why fields whos binding = "none" would still submit/save?
Or why repeating subforms with binding = "normal" would get lost in a save?
Is originalFieldName.name = "newName" somehow not sufficient to change how that fieldname gets saved in the data? (despite the apparent name change)
I've searched all the resources I know for any useful idea on this one, and came up blank. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
<<<<< don't rule out "It shouldn't do that, it must be buggy." I'm starting to lean that way pretty heavily on a couple counts. >>>>>>
If anyone would like to see the files in question, please send me an email at manager<at>rocklight<dot>net and I'll get a copy of each off to you first thing in the morning.I've found a partial answer for the Form_B issue. (areas and categories not saving correctly):
It looks like another case of this - http://forums.adobe.com/message/1358727#340913
but for subforms.
In order to keep my naming consistent, I had every repeating subform at every level called "fields" and within that a subform called "content" etc. (See attached image) It looks like when the file is re-opened, acrobat/reader is finding the First node named "fields" to apply the saved information to, rather than the correct one. When i renamed the subforms to "AreaFields" and "CatFields" it seems to have solved the problem. (It's still giveing me extra categories, but i think more re-naming is going to solve that too.
Still looking for a solution to the submission problem: how to only submit some of the fields in a form.
(yeah, the nesting is rediculous, I know, but it was necisary for some formatting elements.) -
Responsive layouts and expanded form options
I love that paralax scrolling has been added to Muse. Responsive layouts and allowing uploads in forms would be top of my list for upgrades. Appreciate how far this program has come from it's first beta release, keep it up.
Unfortunately there is no feature for creating Formscentral Forms that behave the way DW fluid grid design elements do. Basically Formscentral outputs HTML for one size form only. You can embed this HTML in your DW site and play with the fluid grid settings but as far as Formscentral is concerned you can only specifiy one size form at design time.

Expanding text boxes, pagination and expanding to another page
Attached is a link to a simple form which is actually part of a much larger form. It has several nested add and remove instances. I have three fairly simple issues I need to solve.
1. Is it possible to set a text box to allow it to grow in height as information is added that exceeds the size of the text box. This feature is available as a property in Microsoft Access as an example. I know you can allow multiple lines but you can see them all without the expanding feature.
2. This form is design to grow by adding instances. I would like to set up the pagination so it would flow to additional page(s). I think I would just like the line
to continue to flow to the next page without creating a break in the primary instance if that makes sense (the top level of the instances - mode). This level could theoretically by larger than one page so this is probably best route to go. Currently it's not flowing at all to the 2nd page.
3. Somehow I ended up with a 2nd page to the form. How do I delete that but yet have the expanding form automatically create a 2nd, 3rd (etc) page as required.

Thanks,
PatrickHi Patrick,
I can't make changes to your form at the moment, but there are a few things you need to bear in mind. If you want items to expand and push objects down, then you will need a Flowed layout.
See this example about making fields dynamic: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.
Also this looks at the difference between Flowed (where you want to get to) and Positioned (where you are now) subforms: http://assure.ly/eSGQMt.
Yes, just select the textfield and go to the LAyout palette. There under height, tick Expand to fit. If you preview this you will see that it expands, BUT will cross over objects beneath it. This is where you need to group objects in a Flowed subform, so that when it expands it will push objects down.
The page needs to be set to Flowed. There are pagination settings available under the Object palette and you can start with Place = Follow previous and then Continue filling parent. You also want to make sure that for the subforms (and textfields) you have set in the Object palette that content is allowed to break over pages.
Check your pagination settings.
Hope that helps,

Hi Guys,
I am working on a requirement for manage attachment functionality. But I am facing one issue in one scenario.
From Manage attachment screen, User clicks on Search From Repository and in search page there are some default or hidden fields. Like where author is match with the login user and etc. For Expanded form there is no issue. All the hidden fields are not coming and search result is coming fine. But if user changes to Query Builder Form and manually modify the query then user can see all the content.
So I want to stop the user to show the Query Builder form by which he/she could not modify the query and search. Is there any process by which we can hide the Query Builder Form?
I have seen one Jonathan blog: https://jonathanhult.com/blog/2012/06/remove-fields-from-query-builder-search-form/
But I would like to full hide the form.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
SantanuHi Guys,
As part of the above solution (DisabledSearchFormTypes=queryBuilder), the query builder form will never appear. Which is not a good practice.
Because for development this is very useful.
My intention was to stop the user access Query builder Form only in Manage attachment screen.
So I have created one custom component which will override the resource : query_page_menus_setup and check the xIdcProfile value.
If IdcProfile is PSFTProfile or EBSProfile then it will not appear.
<$exec rsAppendNewRow("PageMenusData")$>
<$PageMenusData.nodeId = "QUERY_BUILDER_FORM"$>
<$PageMenusData.parentId = "SEARCH_FORMS"$>
<$PageMenusData.label = "wwQueryBuilderActionLabel"$>
<$PageMenusData.type = "item"$>
<$if #active.dpDisplayLabel like ("EBSProfile|PSFTProfile")$>
<$else$>
<$PageMenusData.href = "javascript:switchQueryForm('queryBuilder')"$>
<$endif$>
I think this is really good. -
Passing multiple parameters (caption and textbox) to another form failing to pick up Caption
I have an Microsoft Access application that is more like a form than a database. Users complete the form and then submit it to us for review. There are many questions and memo fields on the different forms (sections). Some of the memo forms are small due
to the limitation of the size of the form (22 inches) therefore there is a lot of scrolling. I want to include a button on each question so that when users click on it will display a form where I pass the label caption (question) and the answer to this form.
Alternatively I can have a expanded form for each question but that would require over 50 forms. The Application is quite large. I wanted to have one form and just call the different questions/answers.
The below is working for the text box (AnswerTxt). However the CaptionTxt is not holding it's value when it gets to the new form. It's only displaying the name of the variable name, CaptionTxt
On the form where the data resides I have:
Private Sub test_Click()
Dim CaptionTxt As String
Dim AnswerTxt As String
CaptionTxt = Me.lblSect11_5.Caption
AnswerTxt = Me.Section11_5.Value
Debug.Print CaptionTxt
Debug.Print AnswerTxt
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", OpenArgs:="CaptionTxt|" & AnswerTxt
End Sub
On the new form with an expanded memo field
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim intPos As Integer
Dim strControlName As String
Dim strValue As String
If Len(Me.OpenArgs) > 0 Then
' Position of the pipe
intPos = InStr(Me.OpenArgs, "|")
If intPos > 0 Then
strControlName = Left$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos - 1)
Debug.Print strControlName
strValue = Mid$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos + 1)
Debug.Print strValue
' Retrieve Control Name from the first part of the string
Me.lblText11.Caption = Left$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos - 1)
' strControlName = Left$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos - 1)
' Retrieve Value to Assign from the end of the string
Me.txt_Section11.Value = Mid$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos + 1)
' strValue = Mid$(Me.OpenArgs, intPos + 1)
' Assign the value to the control
' Me(strControlName) = strValue
End If
End If
End Sub
jim nealThe below is working for the text box (AnswerTxt). However the CaptionTxt is not holding it's value when it gets to the new form. It's only displaying the name of the variable name, CaptionTxt
It will, because you are passing it as a literal string with:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", OpenArgs:="CaptionTxt|" & AnswerTxt
In this "CaptionTxt|" is a literal string, whereas AnswerTxt references the variable. It should be:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", OpenArgs:=CaptionTxt & "|" & AnswerTxt
