Form display / format - end User

Over the past 7-10 days I have experienced problems with the display of completed forms in both Test mode and from URL. The form does not diisplay with the same format that is in the design view and consequently won't complete correctly.
This only happens within our business network and appears to be okay when accessed outside of the network. However, from an ongoing support and testing requirement, I need to be able to complete this from within our network. I have spoken to our IT support team and they have come back with the following options which I'm hoping you'll be able to provide assistance with
This is the finding about adobeformscentral.com run through our network.
I turn on web tracking and to see where the web traffic goes when ran adobeforms.
It appears that Adobefromscentral.com is hosted by 2-3 servers, to get to the form, it sometimes goes through 3-4 website before get to the form. In our work environment, when web traffic exceeds a certain number of hops, it can timeout and just display the page without the page is properly compiled.
These are the options that you have:
* Contact Adobe to find out the best practice to setup the form, so that it does not go through too many hops.
* Contact Adobe to find out the best practice to setup the proxy server

I've had the following feedback(in blue) from our IT department that may be of interest. I'm still unclear why the problem started happening, but it hasn't been occurring in the past 24 hours, but will continue to monitor.
Basically, when a user trying to reach a website, eg. Adobeformscentral.com, a domain name lookup is sent to local DNS server. If the website is an external website, in this case, local DNS server will then send the ip address of the roothints server to the user. Roothints servers are servers that resolve domain names in the root level. For example .com, .net, .au, etc.
I noticed that the list of roothints servers on our DNS servers were out of date, so I got a list of latest roothints servers from internet and updated them on our DNS servers. Since then, it resolved adobeformscentral.com and also dropbox.com.

Fields in fillable form truncated by end-user

My fillable .pdf is working fine here in our office. But, when I send it to an outside end-user, some of the fields are being truncated. One of the fields is a phone number field, that I have set-up with the 'phone number' format. It is not defaulting and auto-fitting by the end user. Another field is a simple 4 character limited field, with auto font fit (I hope I am using correct terminology here). With the end-user, they are inputting the info, but the font is staying large and not fitting in the field. The end-user is using Acrobat X, the same as I am.
Any clues?
Julie

Okay, George... Looks like your original thought about it being a Mac was correct. :-) Although, the end-user was not using the Mac... the person from our office that *sent* it to the end-use was using the Mac. Thus, it somehow 'corrupted' (not sure that is the correct verbiage) the file. So, when I sent the file to the end-user through my PC, it worked just fine... or so it seems. I have received back forms from two of my 'test' end-users and they say it works great! :-)
Thank you so much! It was very kind of you to work on emails with me, as well!

Best way to data transfer between Database & XML & Display to end user

Hi,
What is the best mothod to insert the data into tables from XML and viceversa. Also I need to display the data to the end user, with the provision to edit the data.
Thanks in advance

If you want to edit and store the data completely in XML then you could do the following:
1) Register the XML schema and specify a default table.
2) Connect to the XDB repository and store your documents using FTP or WebDAV. Make sure they reference the registered schema in the instance header. This should load the underlying XMLTYPE table you specified as the default table.
3) Connect to the repository with a WebDAV-aware XML editor.
And if you want to take this a little further, then you could also do the following:
4) Create a relational view on top of your XML table using code similar to below.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "ACT_LIST" ("NAME", "CITE", "SORT", "JURISDICTION", "LOCATION") AS
SELECT
ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/name[1]') Name
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/cite[1]') Cite
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/act_version/name[1]/@sort') Sort
, ExtractValue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/act/@juris') Jurisdiction
, b.ANY_PATH Location
FROM
ACTS a
, RESOURCE_VIEW b
WHERE
Ref(a) = ExtractValue(b.RES, '/Resource/XMLRef')
5) Put that into an application (e.g. APEX) as a report.
6) Link from the report to the XML editor and pass the location of the document in the repository. Or you can use an embedded WYSIWYG XML editor so that they edit the document inside the application and the whole thing is fairly seamless for the user.
Hope this helps.

Saving form with content (end user)

I have created a form using AdobeLiveCycle Designer.
Everything seams to work when I tested it... However, When I send it for someone to fill out, she wanted to save a copy for her records with the data included. I was able to do a simple "save as" to achieve this. but she was not and received a message, stating "Data typed into this form will not be saved. Acrobat reader can only save a blank version of the form." then goes on to say "please print you completed form if you would like a copy for you records" "print form" button appears.
My question: Is there a way to format or save out the form so that someone with only reader can save a completed version of the form. How do I do this?
Thanks!

The form has to have special Extended Reader Rights enabled. There are many posts and pinned FAQs about this.

Acrobat Forms for iPad end user

I am creating a multipage selection document for a client. My client would like the form to work with Acrobat Reader on the iPad. I have several features that work on my computer but not on the iPad. I have a few buttons set up to perform actions that don't function.
1. The submit button doesn't appear at the top of the form (neither does the highlight fields button). I placed a secondary Submit Form button. The function of this is to submit completed form back to my client.
2. How do I make the text flelds show up once typed in? Right now, you can type in them but once you are finished, the text field seems empty when you click off of it?
Anyone have any ideas on fixing these issues?
Thanks for your help!

The Adobe product is Mobile Reader and the Adobe product and all PDF reading processing apps are dependent upon the capabilities of the mobile device. Since the Apple mobile devices and the android mobile devices have limitations as to main and secondary storage space support applications like JavaScript and Flex/Flash might not or as is the fact is not available. Not only is the UI different but also the support for many interactive features are no longer available and developers need to test forms on each platform and app to see what works and does not work. Did I mention that not all apps provide JavaScript emulation? Well there are apps for which form calculations do not work or only partially work. So again you need to test.

End users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.
My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

Thanks Paul for your reponse
In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.

Websecurity and End-user-notification with HTTPS proxy

Hi all
I would like to setup HTTPS-proxy functionality in a deployment. Most of the rules are "pass-through" and only a few would then be configured for drop or decryption.
But if i set the connection to drop it is not possible to display an End-user-notification for the endusers. Is there any chance to display an End-user notification to the enduser while dropping or denying https access to a particular group ?
If yes, is the End-user notification then displayed in normal http connection or in a https connection ?
Did i use for that a trusted certificate to correctly display the end-user notification without to pop-up a certificate failure (because self-signed certificate is in place at the moment) ?
It would be great, if you have some answers for some of those questions.

Andrew,
See if the below may be modified to do what you want.

Catch Exception - End User Form

Our end user form requires that we display the manger of the end user. We have the manager id stored for the logged in user so we grab the id and get the fullname. This functionality works fine.
 
The issue is if an id pointing to a manger that does not exist! Basically, an invalid id (no corresponding user exists) then the following error is thrown:
 
XPRESS exception ==> com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Can't call method getObject on class com.waveset.ui.FormUtil ==> com.waveset.util.InternalError: ID not passed to ObjectCache.getObjectIfExists
 
How do we capture this or any other error on an end user form (not a workflow)? Or do we need to check to see if the user exists before we try to get the fullname? And if so, how?
 
The last part of my code to get the fullname:
 
<RuleArgument name='mgrPersId'/>
<cond>
<notnull>
<ref>mgrPersId</ref>
</notnull>
<invoke name='getObjectNames' class='com.waveset.ui.FormUtil'>
<new class='com.waveset.session.InternalSession'/>
<s>User</s>
<map>
<s>conditions</s>
<list>
<new class='com.waveset.object.AttributeCondition'>
<s>name</s>
<s>equals</s>
<ref>mgrPersId</ref>
</new>
</list>
</map>
</invoke>
<null/>
</cond>
</Rule>

Please suggest anyone.... Its Urgent....

System requirement for Adobe Interactive forms as end user

Hi All,
Can any one guide me the minimum system requirement at client PC so that they can use
Adobe interactive forms. i.e. what should be the lowest Adobe reader version and any other
software needed to use interactive form as end user?
I am developer So I am having latest Adobe version & SAP software's.
So forms are working fine on my PC.
Thx

Hi Rohan,
SAP Interactive forms requires Adobe Reader 7.0.9 or above for it to display/work correctly which is also clearly mentioned in SAP Note 834573 (for your reference).
Also, in case you are using the displayType property of the Interactive form as Activex then you may need to install ACF (Active Component Framework ) also on the client's machine in order to preview the form correctly. You should use the property as native which is available in latest versions.
Also, Please make sure that the settings in adobe reader as: Open Adobe Reader->Edit->Preferences->Internet->Display PDF in Broeser option is checked, in case you are diplaying your form in browser.
It seems, if you check the above things your PDF should work properly on client's environment as well.
Hope it helps
Regards,
Gaurav Bhardwaj

A way for end users to email completed forms?

I would like my end users to be able to complete the form and then send the whole, completed pdf form (not just the data) to another person. I believe my users will probably be using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Now, I realize that saving information typed into a pdf form is technically not supposed to happen, and I imagine one would have to save the completed form in order to email it, but I believe a few months back that I followed a thread on this forum that discussed just how to circumvent this issue and allow an end user to email a completed form in pdf format. Naturally, I cannot find the thread now that I need it.
Anyone out there know if and how I can make this whole emailing business happen?
Thanks!

First don't use the default e-mail submit button from object library, that will send just the xml data. Instead you can use the default button and set its control type to Submit. After this put in the Submit to URL field some thing like this: mailto:[email protected]
When you finish the form you need also extend the form by doing what our coleague said above.
Now when you click the submit button it will send the entire form through e-mail.
I hope this helps.

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?

That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.

Form Designed in LiveCycle will not work for End User

Please Help!
I am a newbie to Adobe LiveCycle but recognized the utility in the program, so decided to give it a while to try and streamline some of my employer's forms. After spending too much time learning how to design a form (much to the dislike of my boss), I am finally going to have to ask for some help. So here's the deal:
I've designed a dynamic pdf in LiveCycle with two master pages and two repeating flowed subforms. The first repeating subform is basically an expanding table intended to be used as a photographer's log where they can log each photo taken with the camera. The expanding table has some code with a button at the top for the end user to enter the number of photos on the photo roll, click submit, and table expands to however many instances of rows are needed for each photo that was taken. The second subform is basically an image field and text fields used as photo captions/photo compilation pages. When the end user clicks submit on the first subform to expand the table, I also have javascript in that click event to also create same amouint of instances of the second subform (the photo compilation page(s)). Each text field for the photo caption on the second subform is populated by the data entered into the photo log table cells. I was able to find a script to correctly populate those fields for each instance of the table. Wish I had the form here, but it's at work at the moment.
My problem is this: I've scratched and clawed to get all of the forms expanding correctly and the scripts populating each instance of the fields correctly and everything works great in LiveCycle preview. I then saved the form as PDF for use by my field crew personnel (whom all use, at the very least, Adobe Pro 9, but most Pro X). I sent the new form to them and they move it to their desktop, open it with Adobe Pro, and populate all of the fields and everything works swimmingly. However, once they save it, it gets all jumbled and they can't even print it. We even thought we found a workaround by entering all data and printing to PDF, but even that has turned out to not work. I checked to make sure that I designed and saved the form in LiveCycle for use with the Adobe Pro versions, but still not working for my end users.
Anyone have any thoughts on my long explanation?? Please HELLLLPPPP!

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

Forms application not opening for the end user.

I have an Oracle Form that works fine when I copy the url into the browser and user the login credentials of the schema owner. But when I use the credentials of the end user, it does not open the form. I receive no error messages.
To troubleshoot, I opened the form in Forms Builder, log in as the end user and Compile, but I get no error messages.
I also took a call to a server-side procedure that is in the Form, and ran it in SQL Developer, once again while logged in as the end user, and it ran successfully.
I’m not sure what could be wrong. Any suggestions on how to debug this?

To troubleshoot, I opened the form in Forms Builder, log in as the end user and Compile, but I get no error messages.What happens if you run the form from forms-builder with that credentials.
