Is Adobe Live Cycle PDF Generator supported on virtual servers?

Is virtualization of Adobe LiveCycle in a Production environment supported?
Can someone confirm that virtualization of livecycle is supported by Adobe in a production environment.?
If so, is proprietary hardware required? Or can any server hardware (respecting the minimum requirements) be used?
Is a specific VM software required or will any commercially available VM suffice?
Does any documentation exist? If so, where?

LiveCycle works fine in a virrual environment, I have installed it several time for production use in VMs. I typically use VMWare for production, but I've also intalled it on Virtual Box for local development use.
Hardware is abstracted in a VM environement anyway so no specific hardware is required. However, keep in mind that LiveCycle requires a lot of memory so you need enough memory on the server to be able to allocate at least 4 gigs to the virtual machine running LiveCycle so the underlying server hosting the VM is going to need more than 4 gigs.
I haven't seen any VM specific documentation. However, the instructions are not any different. You just need to ensure the OS installed on the virtual machine is supported by LiveCycle.

Hi,
I will try to find the standard function module. If there is no such standard function module, then we need to create a custom function module.
Check this link:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/adobe]
Points that you can note:
1) Adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using ABAP Workbench, through WebDynpro.
2) Also adobe Interactive forms can be created & connected to SAP database using Transaction SFP.
3) And for both of the above 'Adobe Live cycle Designer' should be installed on the front end.

Live Cycle PDF Generator - Printing issues

Hi,
I am new to LiveCycle and figuring out why a custom code developed will print to one set of printers and not the other. LiveCycle is running on BEA WebLogic server on Widows 2003. There is a customized SendToPrinter process I see in the Adobe WorkBench which reads an XML resource to determine which printer configuration. The actual code for printing is invoked from a service called lprPrint using the LPD protocol for which I do not have the source code. The app is able to print to one set of Cannon printers controlled in the UNIX environment, however while attempting to print to the another Xerox printer which is in the Windows world, it fails. I am able to telnet to the Xerox printer on port 515. I have used various queue names like lp, LP, PS and so forth but to no success. Any pointer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Convert a Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF

Hi,
I am assigned to the task of converting Live Cycle Designer generated PDF to regular acrobat PDF. I tried all options know to me but cannot succeed. The forms in LC designer is a fillable form with two buttons at the bottom. (Print & reset). The controls on the forms are
Textbox
Checkbox
Print & reset buttons
I tried the following options
print to a new pdf but the form became non-fillable with no controls
importing into acrobat as new form but it said "document contran xml form and cannot be imported"
tried save as with no success
I am willing to re-do the form but trying to minimize the re-work
The add or edit fields on form menu is not available for the form generated in live cycle.
we want to get rid of all live cycle dependencies and stick to bare bones acrobat
Please help

The only way I can think of woudl be to print the XFA form to PDF (using the Print driver that comes with Acrobat). This will create an AcroForm PDF for you but all fields and structure wil be lost. This will give you the boiler plate, then you can use the Form Tools in Acrobat to lay fields on top of the form.
Note that if you want to change some of the boiler plate you will have to go back to Designer and repeat the process. You may want to bite the bullet and redo the form now.

Seguridad y Adobe Live Cycle

Visto que los documentos pdf permiten guardarse, ya que no puede deshabilitarse el botón "Guardar como" he pensado en la opción de comprar Adobe Live Cycle.
Podéis decirme alguno si este producto permite establecer permisos para que un documento cuando sea abierto por cualquier usuario en su pc no pueda volver a abrirlo (gracias al famoso "Guardar como")en otro pc.
En definitiva como funciona la política de permisos.
También quería saber si se trata de un módulo que debe instalarse en los servidores y cual es su coste.
Muchas gracias

If you're on maintenance and support, you should have received information entitling you to an upgrade. I am not going to say that this is easy, as it depends upon your forms and, more importantly your processes and any Java code you have. In general, I'd suggest that you talk to whoever installed your system in the first place before you proceed through an upgrade. There are great benefits to moving to ES2 and beyond, but I would never call the process trivial.
I'd check out the upgrade section of the documentation at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/documentation.html#task=2&module=-1
especially http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/prepareupgrade_8x.pdf
I'd also suggest looking at this article from one of our architects http://craigrandall.net/archives/2010/05/livecycle-es2-app-model/ which tells of one of the major architectural enhancements that came into ES2.
I'd consider making the jump to the new Document Services in ADEP; you can find informaton on ADEP and LiveCycle at http://www.adobe.com/solutions/customer-experience/enterprise-platform/faqs.html

HELP required in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7

Please guide whether the following can be done in ADOBE LIVE CYCLE DESIGNER 7
1. Design a form(PDF) and connect to a database
2. Call the designed form(PDF) from an external application (Oracle Forms 9i)
3. Pass some values dynamically into the query of the form(PDF) designed.
4. Based on the values passed dynamically into the query,
some values have to be populated into the form (PDF) from the database.
5. Should be able to enter additional values in some blank columns of the called form(PDF) and save it.

1. LiveCycle Designer can helps in designing PDF and/or XDP templates these templates can fetch data from database.
2. XDP templates can render output in PDF and HTML format. Those accessible for other applications.
3. I never tried passing values in query string. There could be a way to do this.
4. These templates can prepopulate data and can do additional user interface actions. There are methods to repopulate/refetch data after initial display.
5. Forms accept additional data and can trigger events based on users actions.
Good luck

Heavy performance issues using Adobe Interactive Form PDFs generated by SAP BPM

Dear experts,
we use Adobe Interactive Form PDFs (generated with LiveCycle Designer) as Human Tasks within SAP BPM processes. The PDFs are generated and transmitted correctly, but when they are opened at the receivers PC, Windows freezes for 2-3 minutes, then the PDF opens and can be filled out and sent back. The next PDFs can be opened much faster, but when the PC is restarted, we get the same problem again. We use Adobe Reader XI (11.0.2) on our clients; is their any know performance issue?
Please note, that we have this problem with EVERY Adobe Interactive Form PDF... I created a simple PDF containing just a field and the client PC still freezes. So it can't be in the form or the scripting. Normal static PDFs can be opend without any problems.
Best regards,
David

They haven't really announced it, because there is no product to announce. Rather the opposite.
There are no conversion tools, so far as I know.
XFA forms are a non-starter if you want portability.
AcroForms are a nightmare in themselves, because the functionality is limited in Adobe Reader and varies between absent and weird in other products. No idea about Blackberry support.
You will not find a simple recommendation. Rather, you need to use Acroforms and carefully test everything (EVERYTHING: no assumptions) on every platform you intend to support.
Yes, rather unsatisfactory, but until Adobe realise that the future is platform equivalence or irrelevance, this is where we are.

How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

Hi,
How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
please help

I don't think you can run two instances.
But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

Adobe Live Cycle 8 grace Period Problem

I had Adobe Acrobat ver. 5 which I was unable to uninstall due to some corrupt files.
Then I tried to install Adobe Acrobat Professional ver 8 . It popped up an error message that You already have a version of adobe which is to be removed. Hence I formatted my C: drive and then successfully installed Adobe Professional Ver 8 . It was a trial version for 30 days.
But when I tried opening Adobe Live Cycle which comes with it, a message popped up saying that Grace Period is over . Please download e-license. My friends who earlier had installed Adobe Professional from the CD are not getting any messages .
Any Ideas to solve the problem.
P

I think you can do this two ways:
1. Use radio buttons and chnage the appearence to look like checkboxes
2. Add some Java script to the checkboxes to set the other checkboxes to null (use the rawValue property)

How to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ?

Hi,
Please advise how to check Adobe Live Cycle Designer version in ABAP Workbench ? Currently i am using NW 7.0 SP18 (ABA,BASIS).
Thank You and Best Regards
Fernand Lesmana

There are 3 ways you can check which version of ALD you have installed on your machine.
1. Go to transaction SFP (Forms Builder) transaction and enter a form name. Select Layout and it should open Adobe LiveCycle Designer. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
2. Go to SE80 and open an Interactive form application. Select the InteractiveFormUI element and click edit. This will open the ALD. From ALD select Help --> About section and it should give you version details.
3. A more simpler way is just go to C:\Program Files\Adobe on your machine and there should be Designer folder there for e.g. Designer 7.1 / Designer 8.0 / Designer 8.1
