How to add metadata to .xdp form

Hi,
I am currently investigating how to add metadata to an xdp form in LifeCycle Designer. I have read the help contents that Adobe provide however I am unclear as to how exactly the metadata is included with the form. Are there specific elements that are included in the xml? Also is the metadata that is included specific to a field, area, etc within the form?
The metadata I wish to include with the xdp form will contain information regarding the manner in which the form can be used at a later stage, for example whether a form can be printed. In this case I would envisage the following: <printable>true</printable> as part of many different elements within the metadata.
If anyone can offer any insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply,
The way you have described seems to be for individual fields. Is it possible to include metadata that applies to the whole form rather than just an individual field. I have been looking at manipulating the xml. I am not familiar with LiveCycle Designer and as such I was thinking that you could possibly add elements to the xml in the following section:

As you may see from the code snippet above I have added three elements: name, editable and printable. The information within these elements would be extracted at a later stage and used by another application to make decisions such as is the form printable, it the form editable etc. Do you know is this the correct place to be adding these elements? The addition of these elements does not cause an error within Designer so I am assuming that there should be no problem accessing / modifying these fields later?
Thanks

How to add metadata into XDP form

Hi,
I am new to LiveCycle Designer. Wondering if there is a way to add PDF metadata into XDP form?
I tried adding it into the XML source under the <x:xmpmeta> section, but the rendered PDF output file lost the metadata I added in the XDP.

Ohh, I see.
But I think you can do this in a workaround with PDF, like the following.
1. Load a form in Designer
2. Delete possibly existing metadata in the XML Source <desc> ... </desc>
3. Add fragment with the scripting for the metadata changes
4. Save as PDF
5. Close the PDF
6. Reopen the PDF
7. Save as XDP

How to add metadata to split tracks

I know how to do it to a single track but when i click on the next track it still show the name from the previous track. How to add metadata to split tracks for like a mixtape?

Thanks for the screenshots, very helpful.
Once you split them into different tracks, and each track is a different file on disk (as shown in your Windows Explorer / Finder screenshot), you'll want to:
Go through each file
Enter the desired metadata via the Metadata Panel (see below)
Save each file
If you're working with MP3 files, the relevant fields are the ID3 tags shown in this dialog:
If you're saving as WAVE files, the relevant RIFF metadata fields are shown in this dialog
Once you enter the info you want into those fields and the save the file, then it should show up in Windows Explorer which is what I think you're going for.

How to add metadata on import

I can not for the life of me figure out how to add keywords on importing images. I have scoured the net looking for answers and cant find anything. I see the "Add Metadata from", but there is nothing underneath it where you can add information. The tutorial video from Apple shows fields underneath where you can add information, but I cant figure out how to get that to show up. This is driving me craaaazzzyy!! Any help sure would be appreciated!

I'm having the same issue as the image in the previous post. Anyone else have this too or a fix?
I am running 10.5.4 and the most recent version of Aperture w/ all updates
I have read thru the suggestions and deleted the plist files with no fix.
I also re-installed and the issue remains. The machine I am installing it on was just recently formatted and re-installed.
This is very confusing, looking forward to any help or suggestions.
Thanks,
Ian

How do I get my XDP form in the SharePoint 2010 Adobe Form library?

I was able to get the Adobe LiveCycle samples for SharePoint to work. For some reason, I can't get my XDP forms to show up in the selection dropdown in the Adobe Form Library on SharePoint using the Adobe LiveCycle SharePoint connector for SharePoint 2010.
Is there a trick that you have to do to the form to make it available. The only difference that I noticed was the sample forms used a guide.
We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES3 and we have Adobe LiveCycle server ES4. We are using SharePoint 2010.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

I got this problem solved.
Solution:
Create new Adobe Livecyle form
Have an xsd created for the schema of what is going to be in the form
Import that data model when creating the form
Right-click on xsd data connection in form. Click Connection Properties.
Click Next.
Click the checkbox "Embed XML Schema" (This is what I was missing).
Click Finish.
That's it to make the form show up in the SharePoint Adobe Form Library.

How to add metadata to multiple images via Template

Hi
Wonder if anyone can tell me if it is possible to add Metadata to multiple images using a metadata template. I see that I can add to multiple using Organizer but with that you have to type in the metadata. In Elements 11 I can do it using a template but only for 1 image at a time.
Is there a way to do this in Elements 11 or Organizer?
Thanks in Advance.

In the File properties dialog of the editor you can enter your values in the metadata tabs, then use the 'Import' button on the bottom of the dialog, switch to 'Export' and that exports your values as a template.
As far as I know, this is to be used in the advanced dialog of the downloader : you can use your templates at import time for a batch of images.
Otherwise, when you have selected many images in the organizer, you can click on the 'Add IPTC data' button in the tags panel on the right side : you have to enter the data which will be applied to all the selected files.

How to add User Permissions to form created in InfoPath 2010 created for SharePoint document Library

Hi,
I created a form in InfoPath 2010 with three views (one for user input, the other two views to be used by supervisors) and published this to a SharePoint 2010 document library. Now the way this form is supposed to work is that when a User goes to the document
library and adds a document, it is supposed to open the Form with the User's input view. When the User submits the document, only him/her should be able to open and possibly edit the the form. When the Immediate Supervisor opens the form, it should open in
the Supervisors view and allow them to fill in only their section and not be able to edit or alter the user's data. When the Immediate Supervisor saves the document, the Over-all Supervisor should be able to open it in their view and not be able to edit or
alter the sections filled out by the User and Immediate Supervisor.
How would i go about completing this? I have the views created but now have the problem of associating these views with their respective users or groups.

Hello,
You need to first create user group in sharepoint site then add user in group according to their role. Later you need to call usergroup.asmx web service to get current logged-In user group name so you can switch view and also apply rule for editing or disabling
controls in form.
Follow this link to get group name:

I'm assuming that you're talking about an Application Express Form here. In that case, have you thought about using a "master-detail" form? Take a look at the example here Adding a Master Detail Form.

Hi Firoz,
For your requirement, you need to add an other folder with PaneLevel, say 3. in that Pane, you need to add your matrix and bind it to the corresponding table, an UDT, as Vasu had specified and accordingly you need to handle the operations corresponding to the mode.

How to add elements to html form dynamically

Hi,
the following piece of code tries to add input elements to a form dynamically on button's click event.
But it doesnot work. Can anyone spot the trouble
<html>
<body>
<input type=file name="fileName" value="browse">
<input type=button value="Add more file" onclick="add();">
<input type=hidden name="theValue" value='0'>
<script type="text/javascript">

theValue.value=num;
var name="fileName"+num;
var element=document.createElement(input);
element.setAttribute('type','file');
element.setAttribute('name',name);
element.setAttribute('value','browse');
document.appendChild(element);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Hi,
Since no one is giving you the hint: I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. This is not a Javascript forum. I know it sounds confusing but despite the name, Javascript and Java have nothing really in common. Javascript runs on the client side. Java web technologies don't. Although, what you are asking for can be done with JSP's, I'm afraid, I can't help you with Javascripting :(....

I am new to using flash and need to know how to add check boxes and forms

I have been going mad trying to figure this out as well as searching until exhaustion.
So I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Okay here is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have laid out my design as a psd and brought it into adobe flash pro cs5.
I have menu items such as toppings that I want to put check boxes next to each and then once someone goes thru the page and places their choices,I want to be either be emailed what they have chosen from the form... This seems like it might be the easier of the ways to capture data, Or if there is a better way in flash to capture this data, I would take that as well.
SO here is as far as I can get.
Imported the psd and added one checkbox in front of the first item and labeled it strawberries. Now I really don't want the word strawberries to show up at all on the page,just the checkbox. But I am not sure if the label for the checkbox actually passes on the value of the checkbox.
I admit I am lost.
I did also slice and export this same image into dreamweaver and then I made a separate apDiv for each checkbox, and added into a form. It emails the results,but it is not outputting it in a very readable way.
Oh I also brought this int Flash Catalyst and added the checkboxes, but I don't know where to go from there.
So if anyone can let me know the proper way to do this or point me to some videos or tutorials or even a sample file that I can alter....
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
