Good Night Suresh Datti,
I have the following doubt.
The company want that the Manager can request change of personnel through of the MSS.
I don't know if this can be posible.
The process that want is the following:
1) Manager request the change of personnel.
2.) The HR administrator in the UWL approve the request and that this run automatically the action of personnel in the system ECC update each of the infotype involved in action.
3. For the company There are is personnel action that display several infotype ie 0008 to be update depending on the personnel area of the employee, This process how can do using HCM P&F?
Kind Regards,

Extension fields in forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and SAP Cloud Application Studio.
Hello everyone,
I am new to using SAP Cloud Application Studio and am currently working on forms.
I have created some extension fields in the dunning letter form message type : FormDunning Notification.
Upon activating, the extension fields do show up in backend form data type structure.
However i am unable to find the fields in the front end form under Form Template Maintenance.
I have tried opening form with open editor as well as downloading template and opening in Adobe LiveCycle Designer .
After creating the data connection in adobe ,the first field (ProjNumDun ) do appear in correct place in data view.But i cant find the rest of the fields.
Any help,guidance and suggestion will be really appriciated.
Thanking in advance,
KamakshiKamakshi,
First, any extension fields added must be explicitly assigned to appear on the forms. Through Front-end Adaptation, this would be via the "Further Usage" link. Within the SDK, you'd right-click the XBO and select "Enhance Forms" (which would take you to the same screen as you'd end up at in through front-end").
You must select "Add Field and Edit..." to actually assign it to the Form Template schema.
Once this step is done, re-download the Form Template, and make sure to reload the Data Connection within LiveCycle. Through there, you should see your fields. You'll likely have to dig for them - they appear at the very end of the child elements.
Note that, while fields added through the front-end have a long string appended to the end (for example, it would appear as "ExtensionField_1234AISU897234HJA" if added via front-end adaptation), the fields added via the SDK do NOT have the suffix (you'll be looking for an element with JUST the field name, i.e. "ExtensionField") -

Fillable Forms Created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0
I created a fillable form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. Prior to using the form for clients we sent it around to numerous people to make sure it's working properly. We have experienced problems with users that are using older versions of Reader or full versions of Acrobat (5.0 & 6.0). Some problems we have had:
1.) We understand you cannot save the filled out form in older versions, but some users are not even able to print the form (the program shuts down). When the form is opened in an older version it lets the user know that they cannot save the form and it must be printed if they need a copy, but we had one user using version Acrobat version 7.0 that received this message.
2.) Users with full versions of Acrobat 7.0 have been able to fill out the form and save it, but when the form gets back to us it is blank.
3.) Users with Acrobat and Reader 7.0 cannot use the print button, it just does not work.
We were looking to see if there is a way of saving a fillable form down to an older version to see if this can solve our problem. I have not had any luck finding out how to do that. If anyone knows how to do this could you let me know? If not I guess we will go back to the old fashioned way of having the user print the form and fill it out.
Thank you!I'm actually having the exact same problem. I imported a form into Designer 7.0 as an Adobe Reader 6.0 "compatible" form. At first, there were several warning messages in various fields but I changed all of these fields so that they would be compatible. The form works in 6.0, however, whenever a user initially opens the form in 6.0 a message pops up promting the user to upgrade to 7.0 for the form to work. Over half of our users are running Adobe Reader 6.0 so any information on how to prevent this dialouge from coming up would be very appreciated.
Thank you,

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.
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

How to give reader extensions to a form created with LiveCycle designer
Hello,
I make forms with "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1" and then I give them somes rights.
I use the link http://172.16.1.35:8080/ReaderExtensions/index to give my forms rights, like (Basic form filling, Import and export form data, Submit outside web browser, Digital Signatures)
Since 2 weeks, this link doesn't work. I called Adobe Belgium and give them my licence key and they couldn't help me becasue they sayed that it's an old application.
Can someone help me please, it's an emergency.
Thanks a lot.Hi,
Why do you need to change the connection string? What are you calling "connection string for a form"???
The only connection string I now about is the one used to connect to the UI API... and this one is fixed for all apps in debug mode and given as parameter when your addon is registered in B1.
The connection string is filled in the code of your generated addon.
Please go to the main class of your addon, in the main method you have the following code where the connection string is filled either with the command line parameters (release mode) or with the fixed value given by SAP. This code doesn't need to be changed...
public static void Main()
int retCode = 0;
string connStr = "";
bool diRequired = true;
// CHANGE ADDON IDENTIFIER BEFORE RELEASING TO CUSTOMER (Solution Identifier)
string addOnIdentifierStr = "";
if ((System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length == 1)) {
connStr = B1Connections.connStr;
else {
connStr = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().GetValue(1).ToString();
try {
// INIT CONNECTIONS
retCode = B1Connections.Init(connStr, addOnIdentifierStr, diRequired);

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK
I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Problem with expanding textfield in Adobe LiveCycle Designer
I've got an urgent problem with Adobe LiveCycle Designer and I really could use some help. The problem is that I'm trying to get my textfield expandable, but whatever I try, it's not working. What I'm trying to get done is that you can fill in a textfield, and when there is more text than the size of the field, the textfield expands to make the text fit in the field.
I tried a whole lot of things:
placing the textfield in a subform
expand to fit (height)
allow multiple lines
allow page breaks
flowed/positioned
etc.
The strange thing is, that no matter what I try to adjust, I can't change anything in the pagination tab. Maybe that is the problem, but I don't know what to do, to change that.
In the examples of Adobe itself (Purchase Form) is an example of a textfield that sort of behaves as I want it to, BUT the problem is that that textfield in the subform has to be triggered to appear by a button (add comments) and that is what I don't want. I want the textfield to be visible from the beginning. But in that example you CAN see the pagination tab and make changes in it.
I searched a lot in the Adobe Helpfiles of Designer, and I even bought and read/studied the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer', but still I'm not able to get this done.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks in advance,
SterreI am creating my first .pdf with no training. I first converted a word doc of our form into a .pdf. Modified everything and thought I was the "bomb" for figuring it out. Then I tried to use the form and where I had "allowed multiple lines" I realized that it would allow that but not display it or print it except for what was showing.
In researching for a solution, this site said to use "expand to fit". After much frustration I realized that this feature is only available if you created the form from scratch in adobe.
I have figured out, somewhat, how to create the form and get the field to move with the text but I need the entire form to adjust to the input. Can't have one specific field expand into the rest of the form.
I did some more research on this site, and it looks like the solution has something to do with 'subforms'. No idea what to do.
If anyone knows if there is a way to do this with a converted doc (since I already have that completed) I would GREATLY appreciate it. If it isn't possible, could someone walk me through how to do it or provide a reference for a "barney style" walk through?
Appreciate ANY assistance you can provide. THANKS! Guess I need to sign up for an Adobe Pro class. BTW I'm working on LiveCyle 8.0 -

ViewerPreferences (e.g. HideWindowUI) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer
Hi,
When creating PDFs in Adobe Acrobat, you can set some ViewerPreferences:
* HideWindowUI
* HideMenubar
* HideToolbar true
These settings can be set via "Document Properties" => "Initial View" => "User Interface Options"
However, when creating a form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. These options are not available!
Is there a way to change the ViewerPreferences for interactive forms?
Thanks,
DriesThis isn't a question about PDF Specifications. Please try the
LiveCycle Designer forum, thanks. Good luck,

Adobe LiveCycle Designer Compatibility
I edit forms using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and the target version is Adobe Reader 8.1.
The layout of the form looks perfectly fine on 8.2.
However, when I uploaded some forms on the test site, the layout gets messed up.
The same thing occurs when I import the form on Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
I have Adobe Reader 8.1. installed in my computer.
How do I go about this? What's causing this issue?
I'm new to forms migration and to LiveCycle.

I must be missing something critical >>>
I have a large employee review document (34 pages) with 23 sections. Each section has a feedback area with expanding text fields, each of the sections is in it's own positioned subform. I have grouped the sections (and subforms) on each page into a flowed subform. The document itself is saved as an Acrobat 7 Dynamic form. My problem...the sections do not Flow. The expanding text boxes work just fine, but they do over-run the sections below.
I have reviewed the comments above and I can get it to work with a single page document, just not with a large - long document, everything over runs.
Any ideas? You will be held in very high regard!

I have downloaded a trail version of adobe acrobat pro and when I try to use it, it says that it cannot be edited in acrobat, please use adobe livecycle designer to edit this form. I can't work out what I need to do?
Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated. -

JimThe user's assertion is surprising to me, but perhaps I'm missing something important. I thought the correct position was from the conclusion of my earlier post "it can't be done". Adobe state their Reader Touch doesn't support XFA (http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2012/12/13/adobe-reader-for-windows-8-tablets/). Unless (see that blog entry) you changed the type of form.
