Form guide shows online with wrong preview PDF

I'm using LC Designer 8.1. and tried to complete a form guide.
I can't figure out why the (working) swf-online version of the formguide keeps referring to a temp. guide preview sample instead of the PDFform the guide is based on.
Can I configure that somewhere or do I have to buy additional software?
Thanks in advance.
Erik

Hello Paul,
I think you mean this?
I made a map with all te files I needed. A swc,xdp and logo.gif. After completing the xdp file (and the guide) I was not able to save anything from the guide into my map (no swf) In the map `documents and settings\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\8.1\GuideBuilder` I found the swf file with the name tmpPreview.swf. Once I moved it online (together with all the other files in that map) it worked fine until I tried to export/send it by email/save it or show it in the guide. It then showed the `GuidePreview.pdf` file.
I also tried to save the xdp file as a PDF and refer to it from the `tmpGuidePreview.html` file. Did not work also.
Thanks
Erik

Digital booklets showing up with wrong colors

Today, I decided to add to my library a digital booklet for an album that I had purchased a while ago off of another service. When I dragged it into iTunes, the colors were inverted within the view on iTunes. And I noticed that several other digital booklets that I've had for a while also had these colors inverted. You can see the affected booklets below (La Roux, The Fame, and Illuminations).
When I open up the PDFs, they are perfectly fine. But this view in iTunes (10.4.0, Windows Vista, 64 bit) is all messed up. Only one other "cover" was affected, but I had delted the album so it is no longer on my system. I've downloaded duplicate copies of the files and added them in, and the same color issue arises. What's wrong here?

Just called apple support, they had me restore the phone back to factory

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.

Prefill Form Guide

I'm trying to show a Form Guide prefilled with data, but the problem is that the data isn't shown in the Form Guide, but it's shown in the PDF I submit to at the end. Futhermore if I enter some data in the Form Guide, the data shown in the PDF isn't the data entered in the Form Guide, but the data used to prefill the Form Guide. Isn't it possible to prefill a Form Guide?

Hi,
I am facing the same issue of prefilling the form guide.
I am using a webservice call to prefill the guide. Please let me know how can I prefill the form guide.
Thanks in Advance,
Ambika

Acrobat X Pro Missing Grid with File Preview Layout for Portfolios

In Acrobat 9 Pro, there was a Portfolio layout called Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios because it allows users to rapidly view PDFs within a portfolio. This was our primary reason for using Portfolios. Unfortunately, this important feature was removed in Acrobat X Pro resulting in clunky and very slow PDF viewing.
Adobe needs to immediately reinstate Grid with File Preview into Acrobat X Pro. Until this happens, I will continue to use Acrobat 9 Pro.
I encourage everyone to use the Feature Request/Bug Report Form to submit this as a Bug. Unless everyone complains, nothing will happen.

Check out this free layout and instructions for installing. This is just what I've been looking for since we upgraded to Acrobat X. My attorneys hated reviewing thousands of PDF files that looked like flying cards. http://blog.practicalpdf.com/2012/07/grid-with-file-preview-pdf-portfolio-layout-available -now/

Grid with File Preview in Acrobat X Pro

In the previous version of Acrobat 9 Pro -- there was a layout call Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios, but in version 10 Pro -- I cannot find this layout anywhere.
Does anyone have a clue as to where I can set it to this layout? I have contacted Adobe Technical Support and they were unable to help me with the problem and another forum had users mentioning the same question, but never was resolved.
I would appreciate any productive feedback.

I was also lost when we upgraded to Acrobat X. I work for lawyers, and they always reviewed document productions (usually thousands of PDF files) using Acrobat 8. They didn't like the flying cards so we stopped using Acrobat X for file review. Also my portfolios bogged down so slow that it was impossible to quickly view the thousands of PDF files I'd previously packaged in Acrobat and indexed for searching. IT upgraded us 3 weeks before trial which really made my day!!
I just noticed that someone has created a custom NAV layout just like the Grid with File Preview and it's available for free download at http://blog.practicalpdf.com/2012/07/grid-with-file-preview-pdf-portfolio-layout-available -now/. I'm going to try it and hopefully start using Acrobat again.

Preview PDF in Livecycle 8.0

I have just had Adobe Reader version 9 installed on my work laptop and i now have an issue with the preview PDF tab, a message comes up with an error saying i have to have reader version 8 or 9 installed.
Hope someone can help
Graham

No answer but i have a similar problem. I read on a forum that an ActiveX setting may have been disabled and a reinstallation (of LiveCycle)would reset this to default. Is there a better way?

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.

Getting Runtime error while including pdf doc with Form guides.

Hi,
I have urgent requirement where I have to capture the data in the PDF doc   what user enters into the form Guides.
I am trying this on ES2.
I followed the steps what they mentioned at :: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/workbenchHelp/help.htm - >>Creating Guides using LiveCycle Workbench ES2 -> Including the PDF doc with a document.
They mentioned that we have to create form design (pdf) with same data model.. But When i tries to create form design by including the data model .. it is not allowing to me save as pdf and its telling that we have to save as xdp only.   So saved as xdp only and followd all the same steps what they mentioned .. but we are getting error like :::
2010-01-07 17:13:08,227 ERROR [com.adobe.idp.workflow.dsc.invoker.WorkflowDSCInvoker] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.repository.ResourceNotFoundException message: ALC-REP-018-000: Resource

Please find my form guide setting to invoke my REST URL.. and my process.
please help me in this regard ,,,,,

Hi Han,
The problem might be in path of the resources. Please check the path for the pdf you includes at form guide.
Please check concat( ) operation .. make sure that it is correct and pointing as per your work bench.
And
At Configuring the REST endpoint for the PDF render service:,   6th point , please select   as System level rather than INVOKE_PERM.
I hope it helps.
Thanks

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...

Form Guides don't show in Preview

I am trying to learn how to create form guides and have found that when I click the preview button, nothing but a blank template of the form guide appears. None of the text or graphics I have added appear. Can anyone provide any solutions?
I am working with ES2.

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section).

I cannot open some pdf files online with Reader XI (like sample forms in Help section or IRS.gov or credit card statements). I have uninstalled Reader XI, cleaned and reinstalled. I have no problem right-clicking and downloading and then viewing the files. No problem viewing acrobat files. I'm runnnig Windows 7, IE9. I can acces them through Chrome.

RESOLVED
I found two suspect programs that were installed within the last 48-hrs that may have caused the problem
1) - Libre Office - latest update. This is a fork of Open Office. (unlikely)
2) - ManyCam video manipulation software (likely)
Following info here, I opted to try to open an Adobe PDF file that was on my hard drive. When I did, it refused and IE10 gave me an ActiveX error (AHA!!). When I checked the installation of ManyCam, it had installed a version of DirectX that may have over-written the resident versions or disabled them somehow.
I uninstalled ManyCam but left Libre Office's update in place, then I ran a system restore from a point 24-hrs before the installations.
This resolved the problem 100%.
So, the suggestion here is that there may be one or more program in the wild that is interupting the ActiveX or DirectX systems. They may be running or installing an older version. In this case it appears the handlers were broken.
Once the system restore had completed I was able to open Adobe PDF files within my IE10 browser from the Internet as well as open PDF files from my hard drive.
Note that this same issue also clearned up a problem I was having with the Comodo Dragon web browser, which is a fork of the Chrome project. Once I eliminated the suspect program and ran the system restore all was well. In the instance of the Comodo browser it was unable to open or reach anything - dead white screen below the menu bar.
So my suggestion would be to take an inventory of recent program installations, remove/uninstall them, run system restore from a date before the suspect programs were added, and see what happens. In my case that fixed the problem.

Table not showing up in Preview PDF

Hello all,
I am having an issue with a form that I am making in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES.
The project that I am working on deals with making a standarized quoteing template to make getting quotes out faster and whatnot.
The particular quote template that i am making will have the same information in the table for the Description column.
So I made the table using the Insert Table wizard and added the information that will not change from quote to quote. *I took actual info off for legal reasons*
So I got the table looking the way i wanted it to, and thought great let me check it out in the "Preview PDF" tab. So I clicked the preview tab and scrolled down to the table and only the headings show up "/ *You will see this in the pictures below*
In "Design View".
In "Preview PDF".
Any ideas?
I would appreciate any help that you guys can give me!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks pguerett,
I sent over an email to the above address. Thanks for your help.
Hopefully this issue is solved for me soon
Thank you

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!
