Form Guide - Nested Optional Panels questions translations

Hi!
I'm developping a multi language form guide. Thanks to the Paul's workaround, I'm able to translate the field caption. But I cannot find a solution to translate the questions/answers in nested optional panels. Does somebody know a way to do that?
Thank you

Form guide not displaying fields

Hi,
I am creating a from guide using the RenderFormGuide component. The rendered form guide does not display any fields. I am able to preview the same XDP as a form guide in the designer, and it works perfectly fine. Are there any properties in the RenderFormGuide thats preventing the fields from being displayed?
Also, this form guide is not for use in workspace. This is to be opened up on the browser.
Thanks.
Regards,
Vidya

I used the guide builder in designer to create the guide. I chose the guide layout, dragged fields to the guide through the add/bind fields option. The fields do not show up for me even with default values.
I tried to create a form guide with no fields, just the default section and panel. Even this results in the same problem.
When I pass the sample form guide that comes with designer install through the render form guide component, only the guide layout gets created - there are no sections or panels. I am wondering if i am making a mistake in setting the form guide properties?
These are the properties that I set:
Application Web Root : http://[hostname]:[portno]
base URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
Content Root URI : repository://
Target URL : http://[hostname]:[portno]
The only property that I modified in the Form guide render options is "Cb = True"
Thanks.

Best practice. Flex Builder / Form Guides

Hi,
We have a quite complex form which requires functionality not present in Form Guide Builder.
My question is what would be the best way to go about this.
Create the entire layout in flex builder and later bind the form fields to it?
or
Create the layout in Form Guide Builder, bind the fields and then use Flex Builder to make final adjustments?
Kind regards
Lars

I am not sure that you are understanding how form guides works. Form Guides leverage the XFA template design in Designer to allow you to have an alternate interface for collecting data. The structure of the guide is built in Guide Builder but the underlying definition for the template is in the XFA template in Designer. The only time that Flex Builder would be required is if you wanted to modify individual components or layout styles. So to answer your question build the form in Designer then use Guide Builder to bind the individual fields and objects to the appropriate panels.

Form Guide: Field caption translation

Hi,
I have developed a lot of PDF forms using the caption data binding to implement the form translation. It worked fine.
I have tried to use the same way in Form guide using the caption data binding in LC Designer, but it doesn't work. The fields are coming with default caption in form guide and with the translated value (coming from data) in PDF.
Have somebody a solution to that? What is the best way to implement the field caption translation to let it work both in PDF form and in form guide?
Thank you for your help!
Denis

Guides does not suppport this feature today. I have entered an enhancement to get it supported in a future release.
As a work around you could create a separate subform and have hidden fields on your template that point to the caption values in your data. Then you can bind the caption in the guide to the appropriate hidden field that holds the corresponding value.

Digging into the XFA data from AS in the form guide

So I'm delving into the wonderful and wacky world of making custom layouts for Form Guides in Flex Builder, and I've got a question that hopefully y'all can answer or point me in the right direction.
So I've taken the SampleRepeaterAccordion file from the SDK and I want to modify it so that the 'title' of each accordion pane is drawn from the one of the fields in the pane itself. These values get populated in the initialize event of the subform the repeater is built off of, and the values do not change.
So I see that the title is an Hbox with a label that pulls the name of the panel and adds the index after the name. I've been able to modify that statement to pull the item that the repeater instance is based off of using the currentItem property of the repeater. So I have something like:
label="{rpt.currentItem.Resource.value}"
(where 'Resource' is the name of the field in the subform that I want to pull the value from).
This puts "[object Object]" into the label of the HBox. I want the value itself, however. I tried .rawValue instead of .value, but that came out blank.
So how should I be going about fishing data from the XFA form in the action script of the form guide? Or am I headed entirely the wrong direction? I didn't see any docs on this sort of thing. If I missed them, I'd appreciate a pointer to them!
Thanks!

Hi Templeton,
Did you find any solution for it. Is there any way to tell in form guide that which field on the repeater I want to display in header.
I was also thinking of making it in flex a custom component to do that and also add filtering capabilities. do you know how can we filter records in repeater accordion or grid
Also can you send me your code if you don't mind
Thanks

Form guide's preview PDF button not visible in Firefox

Don't know if this is a silly question but when I preview form guides in Firefox then the 4 top-right buttons (including Show/Hide PDF) doesn't appear. I have confirmed that I selected the "Include PDF preview" option. In IE everything works fine, so I'm assuming it has something to do with Active X.
I did have a look at the generated html, but couldn't really get much wiser. Any ideas?

Hi Vijay,
Goto:
Universal Worklist Content Configuration -> Click to Administrate Item Types and View Definitions
In the table under the "Current Configurations" tab, select the standard travel configuration provided by SAP -> "com.sap.pct.erp.mss.tra".
Here, search for the code of the task for which everything is working fine; in our case it was TS20000118. Copy this piece of code.
Now download the currently active XML configuration. In the saved XML file, search for the task code which is not working as expected. Replace this piece of code with the code copied in the above step. Save with a different name.
Upload this new configuration with HIgh priority.
Reregister the connector and clear the cache.
These steps solved my problem. Probably it should work for you too.

Customizing text in form guide

Hi,
How do I change the text on buttons in form guides. For example I would like to translate the navigation buttons on panels to Danish.
Thanks in advance
/Lars

Yes .... the mapping between the XDP and the guide objects does not change. When you are in guide builder you can take your field (XDP) and ask for an alternate display. This is where your custom component will appear. If you base you custom component off of one of our components then the mappings will be done for you. If you start from scratch, then no mapping between the two will exist.

This can be done via Flex Builder. There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf. I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
enabled="{panels.selectedIndex < panels.length-1}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import ga.views.PanelListView;
private var panels:PanelListView = PanelListView.instance;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Button>

Customizing form guides

Hi!
I have created a new form-guide layout. In this layout I have defined a text - area which will be used to enter user-comments. (IE. a custom textfield).
I want the value of this custom-field to be displayed in the PDF when I switch between the form-guide and the PDF.
My question is, when I have created variables in a form design, how can I access them (both read and write) in a custom made layout ?
Bjørn

The layout would then need to be imported into Guide Builder where you can place fields from the PDF form onto your guide panel and thus the binding between th etwo is established.

Form Guide - Populating a drop down with entries from another field(s)

Greetings all!
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
1. Build a repeating panel that has a field for the entry of a Name. (I can do this)
2. Build a drop down field on another panel that will be populated with the Name entries from one or more of the repeating panel Name fields in 1. above. I would like this to happen while the user is in the same render of the form guide.
3. Setup:
     LC ES2
     Workbench 9.5
     Would utilize Workspace to complete the form guide
     Want to use a .fml data model
Any help would be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Rick Kuhlmann

pguerett,
Many thanks for that lca. I have been able to move forward with development of a POC Form Guide.
However, I have one other issue that if solved will push my POC to the point of demo status for the business.
Here it is:
The business needs to be able to add the names of children to a Children Info panel on the form guide. - No problems with that.
Then they need to be able to go to another panel in the form guide and select a child name from a drop down to associate that child with the name of a father. - The previous post with the lca solved that.
Now what I need to do is to be able to take the selected child in the father panel and place that value into the data model.
Why? because the final part of this form guide is to populate a pdf form that is really a legal petition to the court. The child(ren) names form the Children Info panel are listed at the beginning of the petition. Then the selected child in the father panel is displayed in the father section.
So what I am looking to do is to populate that selected child in the father panel to a property in the data model.
However, based on the lca you sent it does not seem that when I add a Data Object to the Data Model in the Guide Builder that I am not able to push that data back into the original Data Model. I thought that using a Binding might work but I have struck out so far.
Clear as mud? Any help you or anyone else can provide would be wonderful.
Thanks a ton!

Form Fields Only option in Adobe Reader - any extensions

My clients only have adobe reader but they need to print pre-populated pdf forms on to preprinted legal forms.For this i need the Form fields only option in the Print dialog but thats only available in Acrobat pro and the clients cannot have pro version. So wondering if there are any extensions for the reader to get this feature enabled.

Thank you Alheit for your response but that is not an option for me because the designed pdf templates are read by a java program developed using an api called itext and that api is merging (removing) the non-printable background into a single page/layer. I also tried using the non-printable image layer but my program api is merging them into a single layer/page.
That is why i ended up asking for the question if Adobe is providing any extension for Adobereader to show the Form Fields Only option ?

Rending a form guide

Hi all,
I am currently attempting to use the API Quick Start to load a form guide. I am able to load the guide itself without any issue. However, I cannot populate it with data from the PDF it's attached to, the form guide appears empty.
My understanding is that I need to pass the data I want in the InputData parameter of the renderFormGuide function. I have attempted to pass everything from a PDF file, to an xml file to just an xml string.
For example:
InputStream input_stream = new FileInputStream("c:\\data\\test.xml");
Document oInputData = new Document(input_stream);
I know this file contains valid xml as it successfully fills the PDF using XPAAJ, but it will still leave the form guide blank.
This was the only part of the quick start I changed, so perhaps there is another option somewhere that I cannot find. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks for the response. I wasn't aware that XPAAJ isn't supported anymore. In any case it doesn't help my situation.
I attempted what you asked me to do and it appears that the XML file loads fine in the preview.
When I generate some preview data, it also appears fine in the pdf preview, but not on the rendered form guide.
Any other advice? Like I said, I am using the API quick start.
Cheers,
Daniel

Barcodes in form guides

Hi!
I have a problem with using Barcodes added with Livecycle Designer in Workspace ES. The Barcode works great in preview and also with adobe reader and adobe acrobat, but when i add a form guide to the pdf and try to show it in Workspace ES I get an error from workspace:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable fields is not defined.

As you can guess the 'fields' is the variable used for the collection that the barcode uses. Now the PDF works perfectly fine in adobe reader/acrobat.
I've also tried not using the fields variable setting the Barcode to use entire form data. Then i got this got error from workspace ES:

So basically another barcodes script error occured. I know that Form guides support only a limited set of javascript and that workspace es throws errors if you use unsupported javascript, but does that mean you cant use BarCodes(which generate javascript themselves) in form guides at all ? If no, what do i need to do get it working?

Paul, thanks for the idea, but there are controls and containers in flex, I hope datagrid in flex is a container and it does not have a text of value property. any item in the datamodel in form guide can be binded to only a control with text or value property. so is there a way on how to bind a datamodel property to a text field in a datagrid, as the data grid has a set of columns with text input as the control.
if you have any questions on my above explanation, plz write back, looking forward to your suggetions.

Create a form without the option to submit or send via email

Just oant to know is it posible to create a form without the option to submit or send via email. I want my students to fill in the form and save it to a personal folder. The submit form button creates confusion.

Many thanks Randy, I'll give it a go. But it means setting up the how to pay question at the top of the form. Currently we have it setup at the bottom.
Think I can do a "Will you be paying by credit card?" check box at the top - Tick equal show Fields A (which I have already mapped to the payment option) and Unchecked Show Fields B.
Sound logical..will be cumbersome though as there are 12 mult show/hide fileds in there already here's the link just for the original form for future reference for anyone in the forum wanting to see what the form looks like and is facing the same problem.
Will make the changes in a quiet perios and anyone interested can take a look next week and see how I got on.
Appreciate your response Randy

Trouble getting Form Guides to render in Workspace, any ideas?

I've been trying unsuccessfully to get any Form Guides to render correctly in Workspace. I've just began to dive into the Form Guides to investigate to see if they were a usefull tool to our users. I have been following the Adobe Form Guide documentation to a T, but with two different forms I cannot get them to render in Workspace.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/8.2/fggettingstarted.pdf
On one form, an xdp, the Form Guide starts to render the .swc, getting the frame of the Form Guide, but no content or objects from the original Form ever pulls in, it just stays static. I have the most simplest of process, just to test if the Form Guide will load.
Then, on my other form, which is the basic sample Mortgage app process that you build in Adobe documentation. It's a pdf and I get a Workspace error : (ALC-WKS-007-040) and no .swc rendering.
As stated in the Form Guide documentation, I'm using the Render Form Guide ES Update1 in my xfaForm variable. And the Advanced setting I used were from the documentation as well.
My question is there something I'm missing or some way to track down my issue? Any help would be great. Thanks.

What happens with Guide is it load up the HTML stub and then load the swf from the location defined in the stub. That location gets added in there by the TargetURL property of the render service. So make sure it's set properly.
As for the XXX-040 error, this an error in the Render Form Guide ES Update1 service. Can you send the message from the error log?
