Form Created in LiveCycle 8 compatibility with Office 2010

A few years ago I created a form in LiveCycle Designer 8 which allowed my users to submit a pdf from by attaching it to an Outlook email. Some of the users have switched to Office 2010 and the submit button is no longer working. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks!

No you cannot... this is one of the things my organization struggles with. I love livecycle becuase of its dynamic form capabilities, but we have so many other pre-built pdfs in adobe pro that can not be merged with these forms. It is truly frustrating!!! wish i had a better answer for you. Also from the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer' page 6... "The PDF files that Designer creates are structurally different than other PDF files...... LiveCycle Designer can edit a PDF form created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can not edit a PDF form created in Designer." Likewise... XML pdfs do not merge with other pdfs. JoBeth

Acrobat 9 compatibility with Office 2010?

Am I correct in understanding that Acrob
at Pro 9.4.5 is not compatible with Office 2010 and that I need to upgrade to AcrobatX to provide the same functionality that existed between Office 2007 and Acrobat 9? I hope this not the case. As a small business, shelling out another $200 for a upgrade after purchasing a product a year ago is not the way to keep clients happy.

Yes, you will need to upgrade. You purchased an upgrade to Office 2010. It requires an upgrade to Acrobat for the same compatibility. However, if you just need plain pdf files, you can print to PDF that doesn't require an upgrade to Acrobat.

LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1 compatibility with MS-ACCESS 2010 / Labview report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3 compatibility with Office 2010

In the very near future we will be forced to upgrade to Office 2010 Company wide and I am a little concerned with some of our older test platforms that have applications built in LabView 8.2.1. These applications save data to MS-ACCESS 2000 databases using the LabView database connectivity toolkit 1.0.1. Office 2003 is also loaded on these test platforms with all test reports generated using the LabView report generation toolkit for Office 1.1.3.
I have not gotten my hands on a copy of Office 2010 yet to see if there will be any compatibility issues. Does anyone have any experience in this area?

The MS-Access part is fairly well isolated through the ADO interface LabVIEW uses. The only possible problems there IMHO are difficulties with possible Acess compatibilities itself such as an example, SQL statement you may have invoked directly through the ADO interface. Maybe you did use a depreciated command back then that has since been removed. As long as the only thing you do are simple INSERT and SELECT statements only, I would expect it to just keep working.
The Report Generation interface is a different beast. Microsoft manages to change the Automation interface with every version of office in a way that strongly binding applications like LabVIEW break on. There is no good way around that except not changing those methods, but that is a cause that has been lost already. You will certainly have to verify the version dependant Report Generation API VIs to still work with Office 2010 and most likely you will have to make some changes to those VIs to make them work again with the modified ActiveX interface of Office 2010. Note, that I have no experience with porting report generation to Office 2010 but I have had some headaches from porting that between Office 97, 2000, 2003, and 2007.

Can I combine a form created in Livecycle Designer with a standard pdf to create a new document?

I have a fillable form that I created with Livecycle Designer along with two standard pdf files. When I try to combine in Acrobat Pro 10 it identifies the form with XML data and will not allow me to complete the process. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

A problem with compatibility with Office 2010 files

I have a problem with opening downloaded files xlsx, docx, etc. by default downloadmanager of Firefox. I have installed Office 2010 (previously had 2007). Firefox extension detects these files as zip archives. (when I was in 2007 there was the problem).
Change the default application for the file (for example, the EXCEL xlsx Office14 directory ...) to change the default application for zip files and other archives (in my case, I installed 7zip 64bit)
Deleting the file mimeTypes.rdf does not help
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

The Live Http response clearly shows that the server sends this file as a ZIP archive (application/zip)
* Content-Type: application/zip; charset=binary
In such a case there is not much to do about this apart from contacting the website and ask them to change the content type to one that is more appropriate or maybe better leave out that specific header as there is also a Content-Disposition header and Content-Transfer-Encoding header send.
*Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Ap20- praca_telefony.xlsx"
<pre><nowiki>Content-Disposition: inline; filename="Ap20- praca_telefony.xlsx"
Content-Description: Ap20- praca_telefony.xlsx

LiveCycle designer 8.2 issues with Office 2010

Good Day All;
We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP / Office 2003 to Windows 7 (32bit) / Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with Livecycle designed and Office 2010.
I have been that Adobe Acrobat 8.2 does not support Office 2010. I ran into that with trying to install PDF maker.
Any comments will be helpful.
Regards
Chomp

We recently upgraded to Win 7 and to Acrobat 9 (didn't upgrade Office so cannot comment on that). The only issue I have found (and I can only assume it was
due to the OS upgrade or the Acrobat upgrade (or both)) is that I lost use of my Preview tab. In order to be able to preview a form now in LiveCycle, I must first open an instance of Acrobat, otherwise I don't even get a Preview tab. Also, the preview doesn't show up in the Preview tab...it actually opens in Acrobat.
Weird, but I'm getting used to it.

Unable to print multiple copies of documents on Win7 machine with Office 2010

Since upgrading to Windows 7, I have been unable to print multiple copies of documents in any MS Office 2007, 2010, Word Pad or Adobe Reader 9. I also experience the same problem if I print from Word Pad. The issue appears to be associated with the Collate Option in the Print Dialog box. If the Collate box is checked, I only get one copy of the document. If I uncheck the Collate box I get as many copies as I choose. The problem is that with the Collate box unchecked, I have to collate multiple copies by hand, and with 10 – 20 copies of multi-page documents that can be quite a chore.
The ironic thing is that MS Visio 2003, on the same machine, prints and collates as many copies as I choose, with the Collate box checked.
I can print multiple copies of Word 2003 documents from my wife’s Win XP machine to the same printer, but not from my Win 7 machine with Office 2010.
My printer is an HP LaserJet 1320nw and I have downloaded and installed the latest printer drivers from the HP Web site.
Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, are you aware of a solution other than unchecking the Collate box?

I have the same issues with my LJ1320. I have Office 2010 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. However, my printing problem is more widespread since I have been unsuccessful at printing multiple copies of all types of documents, not just from Office 2010. For example, I have the same problem trying to print multiple copies from Internet Explorer.
I also have other problems printing from Office 2010 that you may not have discovered yet. I cannot print Excel spreadsheet grid lines from Office 2010 if those documents were originally created in an earlier version of Office. I tried saving them as Office 2010 documents and also using compatibility mode but nothing worked. These same documents print fine on the same printer from my laptop which uses Windows Vista and Office 2007. Also Excel spreadsheets originated in Office 2010 print nicely.
Looks like HP has a few bugs in their printer drivers.
I note that HP released a new Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5x64 on Feb 18, 2011 (Version 5.2.6). Have you tried it yet?

Lync 2013 OCT deployment on machines with Office 2010. Installation Failure

Hi,
In our environment, we have Win7, Office 2010 x86. (no plans to upgrade all of Office to 2013 as yet)
I'm trying to deploy Lync 2013 x86, and have packaged an MSP using "setup /admin" for later deployment via SCCM.
Now I know there are no problems running Lync 2013 with Office 2010 as it works fine if you manually install.
Strange thing is, when I try running the setup with MSP for silent install, it runs silent and all looks well although all the Office Tools shortcuts are created and there are files under the Program Files folders for Office\15.0 as expected
but not Lync itself. ie: no lync.exe file or shortcuts.
Reviewing the setup log doesn't show any obvious errors that I can tell.
Also after this, if I go through the "Add/Remove Components" under Uninstall Programs\Lync 2013, and I can see in there that it DOES already show Lync as being installed, if I just click continue, it runs through the setup process and
then Lync will be installed
I've also tried this same process using the Full "Office Pro Plus 2013" and only select Lync to install and the same thing happens.
Has anyone else come across this issue or could point me in the right direction.
For the OCT (setup.exe /admin) the only settings I've changed from defaults are:
- Filled in the Organisation name
- Set KMS licensing, display level to none and suppress modal
- some regkeys for some default settings for GalDownloadInitialDelay, ShownFirstRunOptin
- Force on Lync (Run from My Computer)
I'm running "setup.exe /adminfile Lync_x86.MSP" in my case to test this MSP.

I had the same issue. As soon as I updated to the latest Admin admx/opal files, it worked great.
Cheers,
JeffCSP

Error installing BI Publisher Desktop in Windows 7 64bits with Office 2010

Hello
I'm having a problem when trying to install the latest version of BI Publisher Desktop on my computer (Windows 7-64bits with Office 2010).
Almost at the end of the installation it appears a message box saying "Template Builder installer failed: Cannot run installer while Mocrosoft Word is running". Now, i made sure all Office apps are closed, as well as IE windows. What i've noticed is that right before this error appears, a process for WINWORD.exe is open - by the installer.
How can i fix this?
Many thanks for your replies

I've tried runnig the installer with Windows XP SP3 compatibility and it worked.

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,
Jackson

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.
Thanks

Acrobat PDFmaker 9 won't work with Office 2010

Acrobat is Adobe's powerful and long-running pdf handler. It's good software, but according to Adobe tech support in India, has known incompatibilities with Office 2010. We can't create pdf files from any Office document or spreadsheet. Adobe dropped the ball on this one, Office 2010 was out in beta for long enough for big developers like Adobe to get with the program. Avoid Acrobat 9 until Adobe fixes it.

I see a lot of people commenting that they had Adobe Acrobat 8.xx Pro and it worked fine with Microsoft Office 2010.
That was not my experience.
I downloaded MS Office 2010 and had the latest update of Adobe 8 Professional. (Don't know which release that was, but I keep my Adobe programs automatically updated.) As soon as I tried to use Adobe Acrobat to combine Excel files into a PDF, the PDFMaker functionality failed. This is why I purchased Adobe Acrobat 9, because my previous version did not work with MS Office 2010.
It was incredibly infuriating to find out that upgrading did not resolve my problem, nor would going back to the previous install of Acrobat 8 Pro work for me. So, Adobe cheated me out of $160 for no reason, and after spending 6+ hours uninstalling, reinstalling and all kinds of other nonsense, I still can't use my PDFMaker plugin.
The same thing happened with Adobe 8 and Microsoft Office 2007. The first version of Adobe 8 wasn't compatible, but then Adobe released a patch for Acrobat 8 that made it work with 2007. FOR FREE. I would say that we, the customers, have a reasonable expectation that the same should be done for Adobe 9, also at no extra charge.
There is no way in hell that I'm buying Adobe Acrobat 10. Adobe has been incredibly dishonest about this problem and they're not getting one more red cent of my money. I'd rather scan my documents to PDF or use the Distiller.
I'm quite sure I'm not alone in this sentiment, either.

Are the fillable pdf forms created in InDesign compatible with iPads?

I have been producing complex fillable forms using LiveCycle which work fine in most circumstances but we're running into more and more complaints from iPad users who can't open, complete, save the forms. From my research I see that there is an incompatibility with the XFA form created by LiveCycle and the iPad software.
I design my forms in InDesign anyway and just discovered that I can author the fillable fields using InDesign as well. It would be a giant time saver if I can use one program to create my forms but the question remains, will fillables authored in InDesign be compatible with the iPad? And secondly, Does anyone know if InDesign has equal flexibility in creating all the special objects and their behavior that LiveCycle has?

I believe that if you name the form field the same name on multiple pages they should fill with the same values.
However, I'm not a form expert. You would do well to ask these questions in the Acrobat Forms forum here:
Forms
While InDesign is being used to create the form, it doesn't really control the process. This is done in Acrobat so that's where you should ask your technical questions.

Can you upload a PDF fillable form created from LiveCycle

I know that these forms are HTML forms. I am wondering if I can upload a form that I created in LiveCycle Designer with Acrobat Professional. Can I upload the form, instead of designing it online through Forms Central?

Sorry, you can't upload a form created with LiveCycle Designer to FormsCentral. You have to create the form on the FormsCentral website from scratch or using one of the templates we provide. Fortunately, creating a form using FormsCentral is really simple so if the form you created in LiveCycle Designer is fairly simple you could quickly recreate it using FormsCentral.

Form created by Livecycle Designer

Dear All,
I've created few formed by LC Designer. The form I fill with Adobe Reader for iPad will NOT be able to be seen in Acrobat Reader for PC. It can be seen in Adobe Reader for iPad. Any idea?
Thanks,
Jackson

The iOS Adobe Reader does not properly fill in XFA forms created in LiveCycle designer. Thus, the PC and other readers cannot view the form properly. Others have requested the ability to fill static XFA forms from LC Designer as well, so we'll note your request as another "vote", however we have not decided whether or not we'll be able to implement this in the Mobile Reader. As an alternative to LC designer, you can use the Acroform forms creation tool within the Acrobat product to create the form.
I hope this helps and I apologize for the inconvenience.

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers. You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively. If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.
