How to Apply Usage Rights to an input form variable?

Hi everyone,
I have a process with an TaskManager (workspace) Endpoint. It has only one xfaForm input variable. The form is shown correctly in the workspace and the process runs fine.
But how can I apply Usage Rights to this (start) form? It's no problem to apply rights later in the process but I don't know how to do it for this first form.
I think it has to be done in the "Render Service" tab under "Advanced Settings" of the xfaForm variable. Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi!
I have found the solution:
1. Create a new process with the default renderer component of the process management and any other component that is needed (in my case Apply Usage Rights)
2. Define this new process as render service of the form
Thanks in advance
Michael

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?

How to apply special right to the PDF file using the LiveCycle Rights Management Server.?
I want to edit bar code field data using Adobe Reader. Bar Code field was designed and data was changing using Acrobat X1 Professional (Trial Version). But can't do so in adobe reader.

I think that product has nothing to do with it. You would use LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

HCM Interactive forms - operation error while applying usage rights

Hi!
We have setup several scenarios using the new HCM Interactive forms on ERP6.0 and EP7.0. The scenarios include things like Transfer, pay change request.
In 9 out of 10 cases everything thing is working as expected so that the users can complete the forms and the process for their requests but occasionally we are seeing a random error that occurs for any user at any time without any apparent pattern.
The below is what is seen from the log file
Exception Stack Trace:

We had the same problem. The fix is to get a unique ID for every form. Given below
Instructions to generate unique ID
1. Modify template
Edit your template via t-code SFP
-> goto Layout tab -> Adobe LiveCycle Designer will be started
-> Goto 'XML source' tab
in line2, you will find following entry
<?xfa generator="AdobeLiveCycleDesigner_V8.0_SAP" APIVersion="2.5.8227.0"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" timeStamp="2008-09-11T14:
39:44Z" uuid="4ed773ff-6aeb-483e-a5ec-4af1a138c775">
from this line, delete uuid="..." part.
Go back to 'Design view' tab
Check if layout is not changed.
Save / activate template
2. Delete database table entry for table ADS_Licensed_forms
Schema SAP<SID>DB -> table ADS_LICENSED_FORMS
(you can delete all table entry from this table)
3. When you access the forms, they are aitomatically registered in this table.
Hope this helps.

Repeating Subforms after applying Usage Rights

Hi Guys,
I've been going crazy trying to get this problem solved over the last couple of weeks. I unfortunately can't post the PDF due to privacy issues, but I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction for what might be causing the issue.
The Problem
We're running into a problem once the LiveCycle PDF is opened in Acrobat Pro and has Usage Rights enabled. Once we save the PDF, then re-open it, the repeating subforms start misbehaving. For example, when we re-open that document, rather than the subform having 1 instance (as it should be default), it opens with multiple instances of 2, 3, 6 or 20).
This issue only occurs once Usage Rights have been enabled on the document, and it's always the same number of instances being repeated.
Document Details
The PDF document was created in Indesign then imported into LiveCycle to apply the interactivity. There are a total of 17 pages
There are several subforms throughout the file on various pages. Each of these subforms has a button below them which allows the user to add additional instances of the subform (using the built-in script that LiveCycle generates). Each subform has a minimum count of 1 and maximum limit set to 20. The "initial count" has been set to 1, but it appears LiveCycle removes this value if it is the same as the minimum count.
This document does not tie into any database. It is simply an interactive document that allows users to show/hide pages based on the checkboxes they tick on the first page (just changes page visibility). The idea being, the customer can save the form once they've completed the fields required, then email it back, so save functionality is a requirement (which is why we need Usage Rights).
What I've Tried So Far
I've done a lot of reading on the subject, and I've seen people mention that subforms with non-unique names or empty subforms can cause the issue. I've checked through the document and all subforms have a unique name and there are no empty sub forms.
As a way to trying to narrow down which elements might be causing the issue, I resorted to deleting multiple pages from the document to track down a specific element that might be causing the issue, however, i didn't have much luck with this. The removal of the majority of pages other than the single repeating subform resulted in the subform repeating itself 6-8 times (can't remember specifically, but it previously repeated itself 20 times)
Any Ideas?
I know it's a bit difficult without being able to see the document directly, however I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion for anything I may have overlooked. Is it simply Usage Rights screwing things up, or is there potentially something in my code that conflicts with the usage rights. The thing I find most confusing about this scenario is the apparently randomness for how many instances show up. The first subform pre-loads with the maximum limit available, but the rest of the forms most load with only 2 instances (when they also have a max limit of 20 items).
I've read a few forums where people suggested Reader Extensions, however according to Adobe's system requirements it doesn't seem to match what we're trying to achieve. There is not database interaction at all - we only require the ability of users to save the PDF locally.
If anyone can offer suggestions for where I might need to look to sort the issue out, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!

Hi,
Your description of the problem is very detailed. Send me a private message if it is possible to send the form to an individual instead of posting it publicly.
Here is a thread on repeating subforms, that may help: Saving finished Form duplicates some subForms I used a console.println line of script to try and help identify the problem.
I would try and minimise the number of flowed subforms and only use them where they are required for the contents of that subform. In all other cases use positioned subforms.
Minimum count only serves a purpose when you have a button that allows a user to delete instances. A minimum count of 1 means that the user can delete instances, but not the last remaining instance. Unless you need this, you could take this out.
I don't think the problem is because the form is enabled. There must be something else going on in the background.
Try opening the Javascript Console in Acrobat/Reader (pressing Control+J) and see if any warnings/errors come up. Also put in a console.println script to display the nodes in the console.
Good luck,
Niall

Enabled Usage Rights turned off when form filled out in Acrobat vs Reader

I created a form in Acrobat Pro 9 and enabled the usage rights so the end user can save the form. Anyone who opens it and fills it in using Reader has no problem.
However, if one user begins filling it in using Acrobat (so far only Std to my knowledge), and then either that user or another opens it to continue in Reader, the form fields are no longer fillable. It has become a read only pdf.
I didn't see anything in the properties I could set to avoid this. Is there a way to save the form to avoid this problem?

You mentioned AA7 users. I don't think they can not edit the form at all, just fill it in unless you saved it with backward compatibility. The PDF to them would be like using Reader and that may be the difference for AA7 use. In fact, I am not sure how far back in compatibility the user rights will extend if activated and it might be lost if backward compatibility is used with the PDF Optimizer. Those are some thoughts anyway about the comparisons you made. The other guys are the forms experts and I am not in a position to debate their comments, only offer a possible explanation.

Web app: How can I make a web app input form post directly to a sub category

Please, how can I go about this? Some of the ideas coming to my head is to replace the section I require with the generated webapp input form code with this:
<input type="radio" name="CAT_Category" value="{module_category, ID} onclick="javascript: return false;" >2013 /> // Not tested because am not sure of the markup
Am I on point ? Or is there any other way I can get this done.

I Trickster, pardon me if am not clear enough. But this is it. I have many BC Categories setup for different web apps. If you use the module {module_categorylist} only. BC will populate all the categories on the BC site, instead of a specific category relevant to the web app. If it is {module_categorylist, categoryID}, you are telling BC to use the the categories in a specific category.
When you say that you want to assign a web app item to a sub-category... do you mean the built in BC categories . I want to do this via the web app input form not through the admin.
Do you have a top-level category that contains all the relevant sub categories that the user could use to classify/categorize the web app item upon submission? Yea I have a top category that the user could use. It is this top-level category ID, I have used with the categorylist module.
If you don't want the user to choose the sub-category themselves, how do you plan to derive the sub-category anyway? Thanks again Trickster. You have provided the solution to that with the hidden input field code you shared earlier. The sub-category has been pre setup as usual in BC and the sub-category ID would be used as you instructed in the code. This is intended for another web app that won't require users selecting a category. This is the example you shared:
<input type="hidden" name="CAT_Category" value="my category ID"/>
Using my example above I was able to test and have it working (using {module_categorylist} with the SELECT element) on a web app input form and when I submitted the new web app item it was classified in the category I chose. Yes Trickster, it works for me too that way. the web app item was classified perfectly, but if you go to your the web app item submitted at the admin-end, you will discover in that the category the user selected in the front-end is not selected, even though the item was classified
I have highlighted it here: http://screencast.com/t/dwiXzBFXp
The option selected by the user is not captured. It often defaults to the 2012, even when the user selected 2013 and the item has been classified as 2013.
I hope am more clearer. Thanks for all the effort.

How to apply modified UI Defaults to existing forms and reports?

Hi all--
I've been struggling with UI defaults and after searching through posts in this forum, it doesn't look like I'm alone.
Is there a way to apply changes made to UI defaults to existing forms and reports? New forms and reports pick up the changes, but can they by applied retoactively?
Thanks in advance,

Usage rights

Please can someone help me? This is driving me nuts! I have designed a form using Adobe Livecycle ES4. I want users to be able to save and email filled out forms. I understand that I have to apply usage rights but I cannot see how to do this. For your information I also have Adobe Reader XI and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I have searched Adobe help documents extensively and cannot find the answer. Can someone please tell me step by step how to do this please?
Thank you.

I'm sorry - everyone's trying to help but I really don't understand what I need to do here.
Here's what I have at my disposal: Livecycle ES4, Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, Adobe Reader XI.
I am not an IT person, I have just designed a form using Livecycle ES4 which I want to publish as a template on our intranet site. The intention is that uers will access the form and open it in Adobe Reader XI, fill in the form and email it. Users need to open the blank form, fill it in, save a copy for themselves, and email a copy to me. The form needs to be used multiple times by users so over several years it is likely to exceed 500 uses.
I've designed a form with lots of functionality that I am pleased with, but I can't work out how to overcome this problem with usage rights.
Can someone please explain in very simple terms what I need to do? Buy something? Follow some instructions? Download something? I apologise but I do not find the Adobe help documents helpful at all - they all seem to assume a higher level of prior knowledge about the product than I have, as a mere user.
I really hope someone can be patient and advise me! Thank you.

Usage Rights lost - important info

Hello!
Today I updated a test system with a new Reader Extension certificate cause the old one had expired. After installing the new one via adminui I tried to apply usage rights but always got the message by Reader that the document had rights which have been deactivated due to changes. Very strangely using the cert on another system did work without any issues. Also tryingi different files on the system always ended up with the same result.
Finally I used this.appRightsValidate({},2,true); in Acrobat to check what's going on with the Reader Extension Cert.
The message was clear and crisp: The data of the signature seems to be in the future.
So finally I had a look at the server and found that the time was right but the time zone was EST so 6 hours ahead which definitively caused Reader to deny the usage rights cause the rights had been applied on a system ahead of my computers time.
So be aware when you getting messges by Reader like this. Use the JavaScript to really find out why the validation fails. Will save you a lot of time.

Gunther

your phone might have developed some software glitch and thus has hard reset itself. As for the software update it never gets updated by itself. You have to download the software and then install it. I guess there are similar cases about C3-01 elsewhere in this forum. Search this forum and you will find for yourself.

Dropdown List and Usage Rights in Adobe Reader

Hi everyone!
The problem is: I can't save data when I open my form in Adobe Reader 7, even if I apply usage rights in Acrobat Professional before.
But in Adobe Reader 8, it works!
Can anyone help me, please?
I designed a form into Livecycle with a drop-down-list dynamically populated from a data source (XML file).
After the design be done, I opened the form in Acrobat Professional and attach the XML file by the menu "Forms > Manage form data > import data".
Then I apply usage rights in Acrobat, to enable saving in Reader.
As I said, it works fine in Reader 8: I can choose any item from drop-down-list and save the form. But in Reader 7, it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.
