How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?
I am unable to access LifeCycle ES2 from my Adobe Acrobat X pro, even though I am supposed to have it as part of the software. I have tried Forms/Edit forms, and I have looked for it through all the menus. Several of the helps I have found for other things has me launch LifeCycle and operate from screens that LifeCycle designer provides.
I am using Windows XP professional.
I would appreciate all the help I can get on this.
Thanks
Mogadeet43512This worked! I had to go into the system and launch it from the Designer
9.0 folder, but thanks to your instructions I now have use of it.
Thank You!

How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe
Acrobat X Pro?
Re: How do I access LiveCycle Designer from my Adobe Acrobat X Pro?
created by TundraSteve in LiveCycle Designer - View the full discussion
There is a terminology issue here. From Acrobat Pro X you launch Designer
not LiveCycle ES2. LiveCycle is a server product.
When you install Acrobat you have the option to install or not install
Designer. Look in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0
and check to see if there is a Designer 9.0 folder. When in Acrobat you
should be able to create a new form and it will prompt if you want to use
Designer. If all else fails you can always go into the Designer 9.0
folder and launch FormDesigner.exe

How to configure Adobe LiveCycle designer on my SAP Server?
Dear friends.
I have installed SAP ECC 6.0 and Adobe LiveCycle designer ES 8.2 on my computer.
Now I want to use Adobe LiveCycle designer in SAP by TCODE:SFP.
Please tell me how to configure Adobe LiveCycle designer on my SAP Server in details.Hi MSReddy,
You don't need to configure it on SAP server. It should be installed on you desktop only.
Install ADLC on your desktop and open SFP it should work. If its not showing you the layout it means you are using wrong version of ADLC. Use ADLC downloaded from SAP Service market place only.(service.sap.com), else it will create problems.

How to populate Adobe LiveCycle Designer generated PDF Forms with data from Database in Windows app
Hi
I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically. I am using windows application in C#.Net 2005 in which I want to retrieve data from database and merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.

But I don't know how to merge data from database into that XDP file in respective fields and again convert this XDP file back to PDF programmatically. Can anybody help me ? This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.

How to download Adobe LiveCycle Designer new version.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new to Adobe interactive forms.
I went through the SAP Service market by refering to the sapnote 962763 where they mention the path as shown below

You can download the Adobe LiveCycle Designer installer from SAP Service
Marketplace:

But I didn't got the following paths.
So, Please guide on how to download the Adobe LiveCycle Designer new versionThere are multiple ways to get to the latest version of Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2. The note you referenced should be made obsolete.
This is the path I choose from the download center but there are different installations you could pick.

I am currently learning how to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. My employer gave me the file to install a trial version along with pdf files with tutorials explaining how to use it. I am having trouble with the tutorials that involving scripting. Though I copy the script code directly from the pdf and follow the instructions. I have a hard time getting it to work correctly.
The one that I have had the most problem with is the tutorial entitled "Providing Interactive database lookup from forms." It can found at this address: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_db_lookup_tip.pdf#search=%22%22providing%20interactive%20database%20lookup%22%22 I followed the instructions to create a new data connection from the mdb file provided. There was a script to populate a drop down box that I was able to get to work after changing the syntax a bit. However the script that is on the button to execute the query I couldn't ever get to work.
Here are the instructions copied directly from the pdf.
13. Select the Refresh object. In the Script Editor, choose the following:
Show: click
Language: FormCalc
Run At: Client
14. In the Script editing area, type the following code:
if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = text
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.item(0).value = Concat(Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = , Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,)
//Reopen the Dataconnection
$sourceSet.DataConnection.open()
endif
Whenever I click the button I received the following error:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7250/errorbr6.png
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Also does anyone know of where I can get good information about how to script these forms to integrate with SAP? Thank you for your help.Hi Jason,
as you are using the Adobe stand-alone Designer and tutorials, you should direct your questions directly to Adobe (probably on their website) as the samples shipped with the stand-alone product do not necessarily work in the SAP environment.
For SAP integration, you need to install SAP NetWeaver AS(demo versions, for example, here in SDN on the download site) and use the versions of the Adobe components delivered by SAP. SAP also provides tutorials for the Interactive Forms integration in Web Dynpro.
Start looking at this topic on the SDN homepage at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms where you will also find many links.
You can connect to SAP using the Adobe stand-alone products, too, but given Adobe's development partnership with SAP, this approach doesn't make much sense - and it is, as I stated above, a question for Adobe, not SAP.
Kind regards,

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer
Hi All,
I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 Dropdown List Fill from a spreadsheet
I am a new user to Adobe LiveCycle Designer and have created a form which a manager is required to fill out for each of their employees.
I would like to create a drop-down object which will contain the name of the employees, so the manager can just pick the employee from a dropdown list and then fill out the evaluation. We have over 1000 employees, so I don't want to type them in one by one.
Please let me know how to link the list of employees to this form from another source.
I can put the list of employee names into an Excel spreadsheet or an Access Database.
I have tried following information posted in different places in the web, but I must be doing something wrong??
I would appreciate a step by step guide of instructions to help me accomplish this task.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.Select the Drop Down object and add a sample name thru the object UI. Now view the "XML Source" TAB, it shows xml code similar to the image.
Now need to prepare all the names from the excell, place all names in one column of excell and copy paste the <text> and </text> nodes to the names(hopefully each column at a time). now need to copy all together and prepare final version to copy notepad (may require some replace all with spaces to format properly) then from notepad only update the above xml source . while going to design view it may pop-up warning message of changed xml, and click yes, now all names should be present in the dropdown. Hope this works.All we are doing here the form design is from "XML Source" tab insted of adding one by one from the object from design view. -

How to activate script debugging in Adobe Livecycle designer
Friends,
I would like to know how to activate script debugging in the Adobe Livecycle designer. I need to debug the scripts written in the script editor.
Thanks and Regards.Syntax checking is available in designer from version 8.1 onwards.
If you want to enable in Adobe Reader then go to Edit --> Preferences --> JavaScript --> Enable the option Show console on Errors on messages.
Apart from it the alternative way to debug the scripts is to use xfa.host.messageBox and check the values.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer query data from MII 12.0 via Webservice
Hi folks,
at the moment I'm "learning" how to create interactive forms with the Adobe LiveCycle Designer. I hope anyone already did something like that too and can help me a bit?!
Creating forms with XML data in the background etc. is not that problem. Also using little schemas to provide data to a dropdown list - I fand that no trouble. But now I want to request some dynamic data from an external data provider.
I have a nice book from SAP Press laying next to me that tells me how to create a webservice based on a BAPI in SAP and how that webservice delivers some table data. But before I try to get data out of SAP, I would like to retrieve data by using MII (12.0 at first). I already built a transaction that creates some XML and imported the WSDLGen as a new data connection in Adobe LC Designer. No problem so far. I can execute it and I get some data back. But the XML that comes back is not formatted as table data as expected from Adobe LC so I can't build a table from it. I only receive the first dataset - every value as a single value, not as a table or row.
So does anyone know how to format the XML result in MII or how to combine it with a schema so that Adobe LC Designer is able to interprete it as table data? In the SAP example in the book the received data from the data connection of the webservice is shown as table data (a litte table icon) and my data from MII is shown as single values...
Thanks
Anika
Edited by: Anika Delzeit on Feb 3, 2010 12:21 PMIt sounds like you need use the adobe schema in MII so the output of your transaction matches it.
