Form with LiveCycle.

I'm doing a form with LiveCycle. I set my page to flowable but now the content on the right hand side shifts to the left. Cannot place any content on the right.

If you wrap the objects in a position subform you'll be able to put them whereever you want and then may the page a flowed subform. You might want to look at the interactive purchase order sample that comes with Designer for some pointers.

Forms with LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
Last year I designed a form (to PDF) within Adobe LiveCycle Designer (latest version). Now I'v upgraded to Adobe CC, but I don't find this programm. Instead I've got FormsCentral. How can I import this special PDF form into FormsCentral and keeping the filling-files, buttons?
Kind regards,
Joris

Forms are forms. They don't change just because you upload them. While it has nothing to do with LiveCycle as such, FC should be able to open your frorm and convert it. In any case, ask such specific questions in teh relevant product forums.

Created a 20 page fill-in the blank form with livecycle 8.0 and now page 20 needs updated.

Created a pdf with acrobat 8.0 and used livecycle 8.0 to create a fill in the form document. Now that I am at page 20, the lines i put in for a description for people who still use a typewriter should have been taken out for this document. Is there any way to replace this page with a revised pdf page. When I open the document in aapro and select document the insert page is not highlighted. I know I have deleted and inserted pages before, but not one that went into livecycle. Can it be done or do I have to start all over again?

Since this PDF is based on a LiveCycle Designer template individual pages cannot be removed. Can you not just go back into Designer and remove the page you don't want anymore and add in a new one?

Is it possible to create a form with Livecycle that a user in Adobe Reader can import data into?

I made a form, then found out that much of the data that needs to be filled out by our data entry personnel (in Adobe Reader) already exists in an Excel file. Is there a way I can set up this form so that my coworkers can import specific records from the Excel file and save themselves time?
I noticed that when I open the Reader-Enabled version of the file that the "Import Data" command under "Extensions" is dimmed out. So even if I could successfully create an XML file it looks like we couldn't import, even to a Reader-Enabled PDF form. Why is that?

Thanks for help!

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.

Difficulty compilation modulates pdf created with LiveCycle

I have created some forms with LiveCycle, but once open with the Reader, as soon as footstep from a line to the other of the form, the content disappears.
Can you help to resolve me the problem?
Thanks.

Post your question in the forum for LiveCycle Designer.

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

Javascript code for setting output file name of emailed form in Livecycle

I was given a task of creating a new form with livecycle. I have no knowledge of javascripting so I am struggling with one of the things I am trying to get this form to do. The overview of this form is people around my company fill out this form then hit a button to email the completed form to me. I was able to accomplish part of this task by using the following code within an up mouse event script on a button.
oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
cTo: ********@******.com,
cSubject: "IB Update Request - Instance" + IBInstance.rawValue,
This takes the form and emails it to me with the data from the field called "IBinstance" in the subject line which is what I want but the file name attached to the email is garbage. presently is says "newupdateform.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf"
What I would like is some javascript code that I can take the data from the field called "IBinstance" and use it as the name of the file being sent in. Is there a simple code that i can put in this event to allow me to do this?
Thank you

Hi Joerg,
I have been trying to solve this as well, but gave up. I also could not get the workaround you found to work with EFM files.
If you do find a solution, please update your message to share?

Filling PDF Form with XML data file

Hello everybody.
I need help.
I created a form with LiveCycle Designer. I filled it and generated a XML data files. Now, I would like to fill the same blank PDF form with this XML data file.
I know that I can do it with Adobe 8.0 but I must do it in an C# / .NET application that I have to create.
(Forms I'm creating are not for me, I create the forms. Client uses them form but he don't have Adobe Acrobat 8.0, so he can't realise the automatic PDF filling with Adobe Acrobat 8.0)
So I am looking for help with ".NET" "COM" or other library to help me to do it. If someone has other idea just give it.
Thanks for your reply
Jean Pierre (sorry for my bad English)

Hello Mike
Thank's for your reply. I used XPAAJ and it works very well but my company his develloping software with C# langage.
I tried to convert XPPAJ to C#, I did it with the Java Langage Conversion Assistant but "Adobe Library" included in jar files cannot be translated to C#/.NET library. So, I can't use it.
I found some C#/.NET API on the NET but they are very expensive and my company don't want to pay. They want me to create my own solution with library given by Adobe when you buy Adobe 8. So I am looking for this library.
Is there an Adobe LiveCycle Designer SDK to help me.
Thank you in advance for your reply

Companies or Individuals who will create html5 forms with ES4 ?

I work for a business who has many forms that we would like changed from PDF or word document to a dynamic Fillable PDF form with Livecycle ES4 - expandable rows, basic calculations, that sort of thing. Nothing too advanced I don't think but still beyond me. Livecycle is not my area of expertise and i thought instead of spending hours upon hours trying to learn the software perhaps there are people out there for a good price who would do it for us. We need these forms to be compatible with computers as well as mobile devices.
Do any of you happen to know of any companies or people who would be capable, trustworthy and reliable for this? I am located in Canada (Hamilton,ON) so would prefer companies in our country but not a dealbreaker.
Thanks,
Dave

Yes... change corrupted user and group "10490/25" to e.g. root/users ...
1) chown root.users /opt/Adobe -R
2) if You need... add yourself to users group also

LiveCyle Forms and LiveCycle Designer - Merging data

Hello,
I´m using the following products:
Adobe Professional/Reader/Livecycle Designer = 8
LiveCycle FormServer (Forms) = 7.0
My questions are about using livecycle forms with livecycle Forms. I think this is the right forum because the functionality I´m getting seems to be more designer related.
The goal: merge data with template and execute some code (server side) while letting the template dynamic at client side.
1) Merge a xml file with a xdp file
The data is well merged. The code is executed at client and at server side.
2) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 8 pdf file
I get this message:
To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrade
to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
For further support, go to www.adobe.com/support/products/acrreader.html
I think this is "normal" because the version of LiveCycle Forms I´m using is 7.0. But if I want to work with pdf 8 files, what is the right version of Livecycle Forms? Do I need to whait until version 8? Where can I update (or download trial) of the latest versions: 7.1; 7.2?
Used:
RenderAtClient=true
FormPreference = "PDFForm";
3) Merge a xml file with a dynamic 7 pdf file
Doesn´t work: data will not merge; code will not run at the server and client side code will not work, too. However, if I try to merge the data with a dynamic pdf form created with livecycle designer 7.1, the data will merge.
In my opinion there are incompatible differences between how a liveCycle 7.1 pdf form and a Livecycle 8 pdf form (saved with version 7) is worked by LiveCycle Forms.
Despite this, there is some bugs in Livecycle Forms when working with PDF files. It woks well with xdp but not with pdf, maybe because a xdp is more simple to work with...
Is this solved in other versions? Where can I get them?
Thank you

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);

I am unable to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.5 with LiveCycle Version ES1.

I am trying to edit a form created with LiveCycle version 8.08.2073 (installed with Adobe Pro 8). I am using LiveCycle version ES (installed with Adobe Pro 9). I can open the fhe form, but the tools are greyed out. It apears the file is locked for editing, but I cannot determine where/how to unlock it.

You should try to start in safe mode which runs a file check. You hold the shift key down during a start up till there is a progress bar towards thr bottom of the screen. This start will take a longer time than normal. In safe mode try the functioins you are having problems with to see if there is an improvement. Some links below to read.

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Hi FourEyes;
Try using this.
Select Col1, Col2, Col3
into :P1_Field1, :P1_Field2, :P1_Field3

Viewing PDF forms created with LiveCycle in web browsers

Hi,
We created a form in LiveCycle. But this form is not viewable in any of our web browsers (i.e. Safari and Firefox), when using Google docs and Foxit Reader and it also does not open in Mac Preview. I have to download it to my computer and then open it with Adobe Reader to view it. I want to make sure it has all the viewing capabilities available when I send it out to people, please let me know if there is a solution out there.
Note:
I have updated the Adobe Reader to the latest version
I have removed all the previous versions of Adobe Reader
I have also tested it with different computers and continue to encounter the same issues.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sending PDFs without an Email Client Software installed needs to be handled at the server. Using a Microsoft .net web server, and SMTP host, you can send e-mail with PDFEmail.net. PDFEmail.net doesn't require Adobe Acrobat or Reader installed on the server, and works on remote and local web servers with access to a local or remote SMTP user account. PDFEmail.net doesn't require programming knowledge, just upload the scripts and the libraries to your webserver application root, and point the Submit URL action to the script.

Hope this helps!

Problem with LiveCycle 8.0 Form in Acrobat 7.0

I have created a form in LiveCycle 8.0 that contains text fields that have multiple lines enabled, are sized to fit height, and are in subforms that are set as flowed and allowed to break across pages.
When I test the form in Acrobat 8.0, the fields flow perfectly from page to page. But when I try to test the form in Acrobat 7.0 -- which is widely in use here -- the fields extend onto the next page as expected, but then the portion of the field that has extended to the next page cuts off at a seemingly random point and does not fit to the height of the text.
It appears as if the text successfully resizes the field on the main page, then when it overflows it defaults to allowing multiple lines but NOT to resize to fit the length; instead, I get a portion of overflow text, then the plus sign in the lower right hand corner signifying I have additional text that is not visible. Also, the point at which I get the plus sign is random, or at least inexplicable; it may hit at the top of the page, the middle, or near the bottom, depending on how much text overflows -- but it always happens.
Is there a subform sizing issue here? I hope I'm just missing something obvious...
Thanks.

I can't be sure about exactly what's happening here, but I can point out several things.
          The class "javax.servlet.jsp.el.VariableResolver" is associated with JSTL 1.1.x, and JSP 2.0. It's not part of JSTL 1.0.x. Make sure you really have version 1.0.6, and don't have 1.1 somewhere.
          If you're just trying to use the JSTL, you shouldn't need several of those jars that you're presently including. You only need jstl.jar and standard.jar.
          Why are you using the "rt" versions of these taglibs? Those don't even use the expression language. I would remove "_rt" from all of those references.
          Note that if you're using Struts and the JSTL, you probably want to use Struts-EL, which is a version of the Struts jar that uses the EL to evaluate attribute values. Check the struts-user archive for some information about this. You'll find the struts-el distribution in the "contrib" directory of the Struts distribution.

Form with LiveCycle.
