Pdf forms in windows 8? cannot fill image field

pdf forms in windows 8? cannot fill image field

Our new Tablet version of Adobe Reader does not yet support form filling, but we are working on adding that. If you have an intel-based Windows 8 computer, you can use the full Desktop verison of Adobe Reader to fill forms.

Is it possible to fill images with color in Keynote???

I have a map of europe I made in Photoshop showing different empires before World War I. Is it possible to apply a colorize effect to my layers when I bring them into Keynote.
I would prefer to decide what colors the layers should be in Keynote rather than in Photoshop.
Also can Keynote import a multi-layered photoshop file?
Thanks very much in advance.

You could also try using a map that has the countries included as vectors. Here's a PowerPoint file I found.

Then, you can set the fill just as you're thinking about. You could even make the fill an image this way.

Is it possible to have an image field?

Is there a way to create an "image" field within a form, essentially enabling the user to enter images the same way they would text?

Image Field Scale Proportionally does not work

Dear all,
we are using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 to program a dynamic form in which we want to use image fields. Users filling the form should choose the picture to display in the image field.
We set the Image Field to embed data (so it can be saved) and to scale proportionally.
Testing the form with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 or 9.1, it’s possible to insert a picture, but it does not get scaled and seems to be positioned in the Background of the form.
Who can help us fixing this problem? If helpful, i can provide a copy of the form draft. Thanks in advance for any help und
kindest regards
Tobias

Yehaaa,
figured it out by myself. Sometimes it's good to sleep a night over it ...
The solution is: In the Layout Tab of the image field, no exact measures were defined (extend to fit boxes checked). This way the poor program goes into a circuit.

Manipulation of the size of an image inserted into an Image Field

Hi,
I'm learning LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 as I go. My apologies for the lengthy post but I'm trying to give you as much background as possible.
I'm are trying to design a form that will allow us to automate data entry (by importing fields into our Access dbase instead doing the data entry by hand). However, at the end of the day, I also need an electronic pdf file of the same form and a printed paper copy. Things have been going well until working with the Image Field.
The form is fairly complicated - 4 pages long. We're collecting extensive data on specific locales (location, what was seen there, who did the work, etc). On one page, three different images (maps) are needed, each one showing different details on the site's location. [Please note these images will not be imported into the database but must appear in the electronic pdf and on the paper copy.] The people who fill out the forms are expected to do so using Adobe Reader (the form will have extended rights so that they can save the data they enter on the form). They would then email us the form as an xml file. Once we receive the form, we have to add some additional information and then the finalized paper copy and electronic pdf would be made. We have already done this successfully with much simpler forms, none of which have needed Image fields.
Here's my problem - one of the three maps required is a standard 1:50000 scale topographic map which shows things like contour lines and latitude/longitude lines. For accuracy and comparison reasons, having the standard 1:50000 scale is very important to us, so we can make absolutely certain the submitter has the right location. If the dot plotted on the map is out just a few millimeters, we're looking at an error that represents 100s of meters on the ground.
The current form exists in Word - we have never had any rules about the image formats used (jpg, gif, etc) or the resolution, as long as the image was clear. The only rule was that the scale of the topographical map image HAD to be at 1:50000 scale. This gets very tricky because Word will automatically mess with the physical appearance of the image, based on its resolution. In most cases, the submitter simply readjusted the image within Word, stretching/resizing it manually until the scale was correct. Another option was to use an image in the emf file format so that Word didn't readjust the image's appearance based on its resolution. Whatever method they used was fine by us, as long as the scale was correct.
So far, after playing with all the "sizing" options of the Image field, along with embedding or not embedding the file, I do not see any way to control the physical size of the image. On our form, the three image fields are different sizes, with 2 of them being small (~2x3 inches) and the 3rd being large (~7x7 inches). Regardless of the settings I chose for each image field, the program simply resizes the topographic map whatever Image field it was inserted into, making the same image appear physically smaller or larger at will. I cannot correct the scale by resizing it, like I can in Word. Instead, when I try to select the image, all I am asked is if I wish to insert another image. Inserting an .emf file format into the field doesn't work - it only shows a blank screen instead of the image.
Is there a way for the user to adjust the image's physical size in the form, after inserting it (like they can do in Word)? Demanding that everyone use a standardized resolution or image format also seems highly unlikely to work - there are too many submitters and too many programs that can be used to make the image (some are making them using GIS programs, others are scanning the bought topographic print). I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I have had very little luck tracking down discussions on Image fields and how they work best within LiveCycle. Any comments would be helpful!

Hi,
I have an example here that is intended to demonstrate the difference between Positioned and Flowed subforms: http://assure.ly/i8pSdy.
This shows how you can use a slider to change the dimensions of the image object.
I have extended this to an example with buttons to scale the image: http://assure.ly/i8ZI5Y
This may not be fine enough for your purposes, but it may give you some ideas.
Good luck,

Reduce file size of image a user loads into image field in form

Hello,
I'm a Mediadesigner from Germany and I started to work with Lifcycle Designer about a year ago.
I already made some smaller forms with different fields.
Now I have a special form with empty image fields, that allow the user to put in his images.
For the form goes out to so many different people, some of them just take the images as they are, load them into the form and so the filesize of the pdf grows. For your information: the filled out pdf will be sent back to us by e-mail.
So here is my question: is it possible to reduce the filesize of that images when it is loaded into the fild or when the filled in form is saved.
For example that I can say: "Take all images and make them 72dpi and max. height 500px"?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Carola

Hi,
there is now way to reduce the real file size or dimension of an imported image.
But you can checkt the file size and show a warning to the users to use a smaller file.
Here's a sample which describes how to do so:

Is it possible to Lock images

Is it possible to lock images and only allow the user to edit the text boxes?

Users can't typically "edit" images... Definitely not with Reader.
To apply even more protection you can use a Security Policy (File -
Properties - Security) and forbid any editing of the file, except
filling-in form fields.

Auto attach jpg files to image fields

I create a form with multi text fields and multi image fields in LiveCycle Designer. Each text field will be filled with image path name. Is it possible to write a routine in form to automatically attach each image file name speicifed in text field into respective image field. This function should be automattically activated when opening PDF.
It will be appreciated if someone has similar codes can be shared.
Thanks
Jackson

Hi,
The short answer is no (afaik). As far as I can see referencing an external image file is a security concern. See this example here: http://assure.ly/mcFrC6 (in particular page 3).
Hope that helps,
Niall

How to dynamically display in Image Field with external pic source

Hi Guys,
I have the following scenario:
I need to have a form that needs to display an x amount of images on the same page area. I have not found any documention with regards to creating an undisclosed number of Image Field elements, so I am experimenting with using a Table to display entries of type Image Field.
I do not know at design time which pictures will be shown in this table. This needs to be calculated dynamically when an Incident Number is supplied to the Java WebDynpro application that uses Adobe LiveCycle Designer (Dont worry about this).
Now, first of all: Is it possible to use the URL of images that are OUTSIDE the form structure? In other words, usually one would imbed the image in the forms structure, but because I do not know this image's URL at design time I need to pass it dynamically? Please comment!
Also, what is the FormCalc syntax for accessing a field in the "Data View" view at the left side of the designer? For example, If i want to access the following part in the "Data View"view, what syntax should I be entering in the script editor:
I would like to access this value as I would like to append it to the end of this statement so that I can get the value dynamically:
this.value.#image.href= ???????

You cannot change the url of the image on the fly for security reasons.
In your case you have to use the dynamic image fields in the xdp form, encode the external images with base64 encoding to be a string, populate with those strings the xml and render your template with this xml.
Here: http://eslifeline.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/inserting-image-in-a-xdp/#comments you have a good example by Girish Bedekar for such a process.

Problems with image field and java

Hi, i´m a beginner user of Adobe LiveCycle Designer, i create a form and i fill the text fields with a Java code, but when i try to dinamically assign a image on the image field of my form it doesn´t work, someone have any idea of whats happening or how can i manipulate the image field from Java code? thanks

Session data will only last as long as the servlet container allows. In most cases (eg Tomcat) this defaults to about 30 minutes, but can be changed. Check that the session timeout configuration in your servlet container hasn't been set to "never timeout".
Even if it had, I would have expected OutOfMemory errors rather than degrading performance. Although if the max heap size of the JVM has been set to a level higher than the RAM on the machine you could be getting excess page file usage.
This probably wouldn't put CPU utilization at 99% though.. I suspect this is a code related problem.
My best guess is one of two reasons:
1. Somewhere in your code, or someone elses, there is a loop that never ends.
2. There is a bug in the servlet container.
I don't know which servlet container you are using, but I have used Tomcat extensively and never seen this behaviour.
In terms of solving this problem, that's a tough one. I would try running the entire application within a profiling tool to see which threads are clogging up the processor. The Eclipse java IDE has a plugin called Eclipse Profiler which will allow you to track the utilization of code right down to the method level.
If it were me, I'd be running the entire web application with a profiler like Eclipse Profiler and waiting for it to start clogging, then see who the guilty code is.

Getting image from attachment into image field in a form

Hi all,
I have a process where a customer sends in a PDF with an attached image. This image is then stored in a process variable and I need to put it in another form.
Any ideas how to do this most efficiently?
Sincerely
Kim

Hi Paul,
I did what you suggested, here goes in more detail:
1. I use processFormSubmission for getting the attacment out of the document (might be possible in another way though).
2. I loop through the list of attachments to get to one I need
3. When I find it I use "getDocContentBase64(doc)" method and saves to string
4. I store the string in my xfaform (in a normal textfield)
5. On the form I have some simple code on initialize that sets the data from the textfield to be assigned to the image field for the image.
Thats it...simple eh :)
PS: There is a glitch in the Help for LC 8.2, it says that there is a " getDocFromBase64(aString)" method available, but it is not there...
Sincerely
Kim

Update Image field throughout PDF

Hello,
I have a 3 page pdf with an image field on each page. I would like to pick an image for the first page image field and then have the other two pages image fields display the same image I choose for the first page.
Possible?

Paul,
I never even knew that was a feature! It worked.
And for others the Binding is found in the Object palette on the Binding tab. I changed it from Normal to Global and now it is updated on every page (as the logo is on the Master page).
Thanks again, Paul!

Using a formula to fill a field

Post Author: dura13
CA Forum: Formula
Hi
Is there a means to use a formula to fill a field or add a filled text box.
I have a report that shows monthly sales for a year and i'm building a EOQ report that has a variable time frame (ie 5mnths, 6mnths,1 mnth, etc) that the user chooses to generate the EOQ numbers. I want to fill the monthly totals for the timeframe selected so they are highlighted and easier to distinguish on the report.
I've grouped the data by product and total sales for each month using whileprintingrecords. In this while printing records i'd like to fill or create a text box around the monthly total if the monthly timeframe is equal to or less than this month.
Is this possible?

Post Author: dura13
CA Forum: Formula
I finally found the solution to this. It so much easier figuring out logic than the fancy bells and whistles to make the report work.
I used the format field and entered my formula into the background formula area.
I prompt the user for the number of months to go back to determine the avg monthly sales.
I then use this prompt in each months field :
IF 1 <= {?months} *this is the first months total field*
then
craqua
else
crnocolor
and repeat for each of the 12 months, using IF 2 <=, IF 3 <=, etc
Prob will try to get this to work for the font color as well by printing the font in black if its one of the months included and grey if its not.

How to remove the border of an Adobe Form Image Field

Hello everyone
I am using Desinger 8.0.
Form properties: Preview type = Print Form (One-side):
I am using an "image field" to include a image from the transaction SE78.
There is always a box arround the image. How can I remove that box?
I am using the "Image field" because the image will change depending on conditions.
Here is my setting:
Object: Field
                   type    = Image Field
                   Sizing = Scal Image Proportionally
            Binding
                    Default Binding (Open Save Submit) = $record.GRAPHIC
                    (Graphic is defined in the global area in the interface)
Layout :
              AnchorX: 171.477mm AnchoY: 15.111mm
              width:       78.175mm Height :   21.777mm
               Margins: all at 0mm
               Caption Position: None
Border:
           Edges: Edit Together
                       None
            Background fill: None
Based on my understanding, with border edges to none I should not have any border arround the image But I still have it.
Any suggestions?
Regards
stjacqd

Hello Raju
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunattely the Field tab doesn't have the Appearance in it.
The field tab contain only the following Items:
Type : Image Field
Caption:
URL
Embed Image Data
Sizing: Scale Image Proportionally
Presence: Visible
Locale: Default locale
There is no item named "Appearance".
I am using AdobeLiveCycle Designer 8.0
Version 8.01.3250.1.491864
