Hi,
Where a form is Reader Enabled in Acrobat, then the ability to attach other documents is restricted/not allowed:
The ability to attach documents is ONLY available if the user has Acrobat OR if the form has been Reader Enabled in the full LC Reader Extensions ES2.5.
See here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Hope that helps,

Hi Niall,
Your answer and example is very helpful. I design a lot of forms with LiveCycle Designer ES2, and because of your answer here, I now know that the users of my forms will not be able to add attachments just by me "enabling Reader" from Acrobat.
I have been trying to find what it would cost for me to have LiveCycle Reader Extensions. I spoke with an Adobe sales rep, and she didn't seem to understand the concept (that the user cannot upload attachments without Reader Extensions having enabled it). She said something about the cost starting @ $50,000. What!? Is she talking about the same thing I need? Then she directed me to contact Customer Service.
I'm not sure who to turn to for my specific situation. I am the only one in my company using LiveCycle Designer and just need to enable a couple dozen people to be able to upload attachments to a form.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
ZeroZone

How to 'clear' file upload field in forms

In a form I am designing I need a 'clear' or 'reset' button that clears the entire form. This is easy to do, of course, but alas my form has a file upload field, and in Safari I just can't get that field to go back to it's default empty state.
is there a secret way to force file upload fields in safari to reset, or is it just impossible?

I've just done a quick search on bugzilla and came up with this http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8248.

Problem in dynamically generating the file upload field

Hello all
I am using netbeans 5.5 and visualwebpack for my jsf project.
i have a problem in dynamically generating the file upload field and using it.
I have a panel say "panelA" which holds file upload fields.
Depending upon the count value i generate the file upload field using following code snippet:
Upload upload1 = new Upload();
upload1.setId("upload1");
getPanelA.getChildren().add(upload1);
The page successfully shows up the file upload fields. While the user clicks the submit button, i have used following logic to perform upload:
List components = getPanelA().getChildren();
for(int i = 0; i<components.size(); i++){
if(components.get(i) instanceof Upload){
UploadedFile uploadedFile = ((Upload)components.get(i)).getUploadedFile();
I am getting this UploadedFile object null.
How can i solve this problem.

Anyway,
I solved the problem.
Actually i was using label property of the upload field due to which i got null pointer exception.
I removed the label property of the upload field and things worked as i wanted.

File Upload field wiht Camera option!

Hi, I'm a web developer and I'd like to make my application accessible also from tablet. I tried the website with both default android Browser and Firefox browser; I saw that Firefox it is much more user friendly to touch and fast.
In the website there is a form with a file upload field that is supposed to be used with images; the default android Browser gives the user the possibility to choose the camera, take the picture, and then select it for the upload. I'd like to know if there is the possibility to configure somewhere Firefox to add the Camera option with Astro and OpenOfficeDoc. Do you think is possible?
Or do you know how this could be realized?
Thank you in advance.

Interesting! I think there is a different site to offer feature suggestions for different Mozilla products, but I'm not sure where the Android one is. (I'm assuming that the option isn't available yet...)

Retain selected file on File Upload field

I have a wizard consisting of 3 forms. The first form has a file upload field.
The selected file name is not retained when i navigate from the first form to the second and then back again to the first form.
I have tried to using javascript to record the selected filename in another field and then hoping that i can then repopulate the file upload 'text' box. However, this has failed as it appears that the file name selected is not the 'value' or 'text' of the file upload field.
Any ideas?

Some PC "windows" browsers need ".ogg" files in order to play.
Just a heads up.
I use jPlayer works on mac, Pc, & iOS

Seeding a signature field in Livecycle design

Creating a signature field is straight forward. However I want to seed the 1st sig field to make it an 'author' signature and allow type 2 changes (The permitted changes are filling in forms, instantiating page templates, and signing. Other changes invalidate the signature.).
I know how to do this with javascript in Acrobat forms. But in Livecycle I cannot find how to set the seed on the field.
Any advice appreciated please.

This cannot be done using LiveCycle Designer but here are other options
Option # 1
A simple orchestration can be created using addSignatureField/ModifySignatureField
In workbench Select the activity(addSignatureField/ModifySignatureField) and Go to Process Properties
Under Advanced Panel --> Signature Type(In property editor)
Select Certification Signature radio button and "Annotations,form fill-in and digital Signatures" drop down
Option # 2
using Client SDK Java API, Here is code snippet
    Document inDoc = new Document(new File(inputFile), false);
    PDFSignatureFieldProperties pdfSigFldProps = new PDFSignatureFieldProperties();
    PDFSeedValueOptionSpec pdfSeedValueOptionSpec = new PDFSeedValueOptionSpec();
    pdfSeedValueOptionSpec.setMdpValue(MDPPermissions.AnnotationFormChanges);
    pdfSigFldProps.setSeedValue(pdfSeedValueOptionSpec);
    Document outDoc = signatureServiceClient.modifySignatureField(inDoc, sigFieldName, pdfSigFldProps);
    outDoc.copyToFile(new File(outputFile));

Unable to clear file upload fields in web pages.

When visiting any site which has the option to upload a file, I am unable to clear the field if I change my mind about uploading a file.
A website has a BROWSE or UPLOAD field and button. Pressing the button brings up the open file dialog. I select a file and select open in the dialog. If I then click on the field containing the path/file, I am presented with the open file dialog. I cannot clear or edit the field on the web page.
I originally thought it was something with the web page I visited, but then found another page did the same thing.

For instance if you go to this page again in Safari,
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf06/
and then select "View Source" from the View menu, then press command-f to "find" within the page and search for ".mov"
You will find this, which shows the url of the movie itself.
<param name="href" value="http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov">
If you copy just this part:
http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/jan/mw2006/mmw_2006_650ref.mov
And open QuickTime Player, go to the File menu, select "Open URL" the movie will play.
If you try the same technique on the page at the link provided by your client, it will allow you to bypass the html code that may be doing an outdated compatibility check and the movie may play. Or it may tell you that you are missing components (codecs, compressors etc.) in which case, post here again.

Can't select or edit text fields in LiveCycle Designer

Greetings!
I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to edit the header text in this PDF, so I tried to do that in Acrobat PRO, which said: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I got a trial version of LiveCycle to see if I could edit it. But when I open the PDF in LiveCycle, I can only edit the input fields. All of the labels, all the text, headers is uneditable. I can't select it, I don't see it in the PDF Hierarchy either. Half of the Edit Menu is grayed out. Can't copy or anything else. Please help me figure out why this happens. If you need the original PDF, let me know, I can send it to you. Thank you.

What happens when you try to edit the header? From Acrobat, when you open the "Tools" sidebar, is "Edit Document Text" grayed out/disabled? If you highlight some of the text, then right-click and select "Repace Text", do you get a popup warning about the form being interactive and having special features?
In LiveCycle, I can't even select the text. The select box just goes right over it, and if it goes over buttons or input boxes, it does select them, but not the text or even the labels for the input forms.
In Acrobat, I can click on "Edit Text & Images", but it tells me I need to go to LiveCycle. I don't see a "Replace Text" on right-click. There's "Edit Text", but it just tells me to take it to LiveCycle.

File upload field

I have a profile update page, with a file field where the user can upload a photo.
But I have a major problem. I know that the fileupload form cannot contain a value from a database.
When I submit the form without the image, it resets the photo field to blank.
I would like to know:
How can I upload a photo with checking if the same name is already in the folder?
How can I leave the field intact so that the current image stays on blank field?

Well I'm a newbie at OAS Portal so I used the Form based on a table and there in the FILE_ field I changed it from textbox to File Upload(binary), and then I ran the form and I filled all the textbox and then chose the file I wanted to upload I clicked on insert, then the row was inserted and then I tried to open the file but nothing happened!
=(
so probably is that the form is trying to save the file directly in the database right... so I must change the field type... right??

Update File Upload Field

Hi
I have a file upload function in a "Update Record" form. I don't need to add new entries into the DB for each upload so I set the update to entered value 1.
However on updating the record the file uploaded to the selected folder is deleted. Is it possible to update the same table field but not have the file deleted.
If I upload fileA and then update id field 1 to upload fileB I do not want to delete fileA when I update id 1
I hope that makes sense
L

Hi Albert
I can't find any delete triggers in the code.
****CODE***
//start Trigger_FileUpload trigger
//remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
function Trigger_FileUpload(&$tNG) {
$uploadObj = new tNG_FileUpload($tNG);
$uploadObj->setFormFieldName("sfile_path");
$uploadObj->setDbFieldName("sfile_path");
$uploadObj->setFolder("../onlinemembership/supportdocs/");
$uploadObj->setMaxSize(2000);
$uploadObj->setAllowedExtensions("pdf, doc, txt");
$uploadObj->setRename("auto");
return $uploadObj->Execute();
//end Trigger_FileUpload trigger
// Make an update transaction instance
$upd_support_file = new tNG_update($conn_DB_ACCESS);
$tNGs->addTransaction($upd_support_file);
// Register triggers
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Update1");
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("BEFORE", "Trigger_Default_FormValidation", 10, $formValidation);
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "file2-test.php");
$upd_support_file->registerTrigger("AFTER", "Trigger_FileUpload", 97);
// Add columns
$upd_support_file->setTable("support_file");
$upd_support_file->addColumn("sfile_path", "FILE_TYPE", "FILES", "sfile_path");
$upd_support_file->setPrimaryKey("sfile_ID", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "VALUE", "1");
// Execute all the registered transactions
$tNGs->executeTransactions();
****END****

I want to create a form in Muse with a file upload field

I want to be able to have a form in which people can upload a file from my form which also provides information through other fields.
this does not seem to be available through Muse. Can I use Muse for this type of field?

Unfortunatly that sort of field is not yet available in Muse.
A couple of ways that do work with Muse is to:
1: host with Business CAtalyst and use their custom forms
or
2: Use Adobe Forms Central and embed the form into your muse site.
Both of those work well.

How to add a field for multiple file upload in WebApps ?

I am creating a WebApp for user to save some information with multiple pitcures. I can only see a single uploader.
How can I add multiple image uploader and How can I create a custom file upload field rather than image upload ?

Hi,
There's no other upload field type for web apps. You'll need to use the "image file type" to apply multiple file upload fields within the web app form in this case.
Kind regards,
-Sidney

Cannot fill forms created by LiveCycle Designer

Dear all,
By using Adboe Reader for iPad, I can fill the forms created by Adobe Pro, but cannot view pdf and fill the forms created by LiveCycle Designer. Any idea?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. Right now I can create froms in Adobe Pro, but I need to create an "image file" which is only avialble in LiveCycle designer. Did the Acroforms you mention supports Image field? I tried to create a form with image fields in LiveCycle Designer, and then save as static form. It will work for PC but doesn't work for iPad.

Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 and Preferences Folder

Hello all,
the question I'm asking here is actually related to a different issue, so I'll give the whole context.
I have issues with image fields in Livecycle Designer, no matter if I use the one that comes with Acrobat Pro 8.0 or 9.0. Image fields have at least one bug: The anchor position in the layout is ignored, the image is *always* anchored top middle. In version 8.0, the picture was always scaled to fill the rectangle, causing a skewed aspect ratio, no matter what scaling option was selected.
After talking for more than 1 hour to the Adobe customer support, I was told to see if the Preferences folder was there (not sure what this has to do with the image field issue, but whatever). It's supposed to reside in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0 and is supposed to contain 2 folders and 1 file. Oh yeah, I'm driving Windoze XP ... For my user, I do not see the preferences folder at all, other users that log in to my coputer, the preferences folder exists, but is empty. I tried uninstalling Acrobat Pro and re-installing as local admin as suggested by customer service, but still no preference folder.
My question is: What could be the reason for not having the preferences folder?
Thanks and Cheers
Markus
