LIVECYCLE Acrobat Pro 9 Data Collection

HELP!!
I have created a PDF form using Livecycle Design and I intend to distribute the form to various users; and collect the responses back with the in-built feature in adobe pro 9 ( there is this file called RESPONSE FILE (after I distributed the form) where I can view or collate all the response forms submitted to me)
My issues is as such that;-
1. I have ONE form
2. There will be 3 main centers i.e. Centre 1,2,3 which the users can send the forms to
3. How can I design the form in a way that if User A chose to send the form to Centre 2; Centre 1 and 3 will not get the distributed form sent to them?
I hope the question make sense and it will be of great help if sombody are able to help!!

Please repost to the LiveCycle Designer forum.

LiveCycle Designer 8/ Acrobat Pro 8-form data

Not skilled in using the LiveCycle Designer included in Acrobat Pro 8, I have been struggling for a couple of weeks, trying to format a sample form and export data to a .csv file to read in Excel or notepad, once saved in .pdf and completed. I have the basics, but can't accomplish the more advanced. So far, I have used LiveCycle Deisgner to create a one page table form, with a header, 20 columns and 16 rows. The header cells are all text boxes labeling the columns below them. The rows have mostly text input cells/boxes, a few drop- down list boxes.
I can complete, in .pdf, a couple of sample lines with made-up names, other data as a test. It will save, the using manage form data>merge data files into a spreadsheet, I can create a .csv and view it in Excel.
Here's where the difficulty begins. I need the .csv to display every cell/box, even if blank, and in the correct row. The form data will be used by a genetics program's import module to import data and needs to be either a .txt or .csv tab, comma or other symbol (for example, @) delimited file, where blanks are represented by one extra delimiter (as a spacer) for each blank. The .csv data display is anything but that. The header runs across the first .csv row with names like :"form1[0].ID1[0]" while the only other row showing is all of the sample data from the .pdf's 2 completed sample data lines, all in one row, with some blank cells/boxes shown, and some not shown.
Since eventually, once the form is "up and running," it can collect 50+ rows, I was hoping not to have to manually edit the .csv to get it into the acceptable format for the other program's import module.
I am at a loss about how to set up the form in LiveCycle Designer so that the header row doesn't export to the .csv (I am unable to find the data binding controls for these text/header boxes to set them to "none."), the blank cells/boxes all register, rather than only some, and the row 1 data goes on the .csv's row 1 and the row 2 data to the .csv's row 2, etc., rather than an endlessly long single row.
I've already searched forum's, plus the help files for LiveCycle Designer and Acrobat, with no success.
Any ideas, solutions or places where I can check further would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
With LC Designer you can develop a form which has data connections to databases and/or web services.
The issues to consider are: what version of Acrobat will the user have; and if the user only has the Reader then how are you Reader Extending the form.
User has the fulll version of Acrobat:
user can open form;
fill it in;
print it;
data connections to databases and web services will work;
user can save the form.
User has the Reader (form not Reader Enabled)
user can open form;
fill it in;
print it;
data connections to databases and web services will NOT work;
user CANNOT save the form.
User has the Reader (form Reader Enabled using the full version of Acrobat before deployment. See licence restrictions)
user can open form;
fill it in;
print it;
data connections to databases and web services will NOT work;
user can save the form.
User has the Reader (form Reader Enabled using the full LC Enterprise Suite)
user can open form;
fill it in;
print it;
data connections to databases and web services will work;
user can save the form.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Using Acrobat Pro how do I lock the fillable fields once the data is collected?

Using Acrobat Pro how do I lock the fillable fields once the data is collected?

Hi,
Have a look at Paul's LockAllFields solution. You can download it in Paul's post here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3168183#3168183.
I have a version of it here as well: http://assure.ly/yDtfsM.

Problem exporting data in Acrobat Pro 9.0 from secured response form

Hello,
I made a form in Livecycle 9.0 and am distributing it through Acrobat Pro 9.0 - using Acrobat.com's form distribution application - in several cycles to see how varying the levels of security of the form will affect users (the folks who will be filling out the forms), once they get the forms. I want to see how many passwords they have to enter, what they can do, what they cannot do with the form.. I've been sending unsecured and secured forms out, to test.
The problem I have now is, when I receive my permissions protected, secured forms back, I cannot EXPORT the data. Both the "Export" and "Archived" buttons are greyed out, and even when I remove the security settings from File--> Portfolio Properties, nothing changes.
I'm locked out of the collected data!
It's easy to export data from unsecured response forms (without permissions protection), but I would prefer to limit the amount of manipulation users can do to the forms (aside from commenting, filling them out, and signing them).
The secured forms perform great on the Acrobat Reader - user (form-filler) end, restricting printing, modifying text, etc, but they return to me in Acrobat Pro inert. I'm completely stumped to how I can get data out of them. I would sure appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Chenster

Acrobat Pro 9.0 date fields

hi, I am having trouble in date fields in a form I developed in Designer (Acrobat Pro 9.0). I have two problems. 1. I have a date field for DOB (Date of Birth). When any dates are clicked or entered with a year of 1929 or earlier, Adobe converts it to 2029 and so on. So I cannot enter in anyone over 80 years old. Not good. How do I fix this? 2. When I get out of my Adobe Pro and check out my form myself I am able to use the cool feature where you click on the white part in between the arrows in a date drop down box and I can easily get to early 1900's years. When I have distributed my form those users don't seem to have that feature. The top of their date drop down box is blue. how do I get theirs to work like mine?
Thanks in advance!

Adding an Expiry date to a document - Acrobat Pro

I want to add an expiry date to my document i.e 12 months from when it was created. I recently got Acrobat Pro X on my computer, and the not sure how to do this now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In Adobe Acrobat 8, it was possible by adding JavaScript by clicking on the menu Advanced > Document Javascript > Edit CheckDoc
Then we could open the JavaScript and put the end date, as below
Thanks!

Adobe LiveCycle can protect documents on an internal company network OR via the public Internet, it simply depends on how you set up access to the LC server (i.e. is the IP address of the server public and can it be connected to from outside the firewall).
"Expiring" documents with JavaScript is strongly discouraged if the document has value, as a user can trivially bypass the script (and as you have found out, it only ever runs under specific circumstances). If the PDF is opened in a non-Adobe application such as OS X Preview, scripting simply isn't available. Many users disable the scripting module by default, especially in enterprise settings. These are the situations for which digital rights management (DRM) was developed - if there was an easier (and cheaper) way to do it, Adobe wouldn't have bothered writing LiveCycle's DRM module as they'd never sell any licenses!
LiveCycle DRM restricts the PDF to opening only in Adobe applications (Reader and Acrobat), but the protection offered is totally reliable. Nobody has ever bypassed or cracked LCDRM hashes in the wild, and it's used to secure documents of the highest value (both commercial and proprietary). Yes, LCDRM is expensive and probably isn't viable for prosumer or short-run applications, but at an enterprise level the cost of a LiveCycle seat is often trivial compared to the losses they risk if a document falls into the wrong hands. It's a commercial decision, but anything less than DRM is merely an illusion of protection, and document authors must be aware of that.
I have exactly the same issue as you, except that the pdf documents are
distributed to customers - eg. quotations to expire after 30 days,
proposals, etc. In this case, Adobe Lifecycle doesn't work for me as it
only manages internal documents (as far as I know).

Inclusion of LiveCycle Designer with Acrobat Pro 8.0

Are there any restrictions to LiveCycle Designer that's furnished with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 ?
I've checked the validity of my copy of Acrobat Pro 8.0, including the installation S/N, with Adobe Customer Service.
After Installation and activation...
When I launch LiveCycle Designer, I get a time-out message saying that my copy of LiveCycle designer will expire in a few days.
All the advertising and Adobe-published data sheets give no indication that the copy of LiveCycle Designer is a 30-day eval copy. Customer Service's only comment was I needed to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0!
When I asked if the version of LiveCycle Designer that was included in 9.0 was a full and not eval version - all they would say was, "you need to upgrade to 9.0"
Does anyone have any additional information on this?
(Thanks)
DB

J.R.
I believe I used the vista un-install. Eventually, I wound up un-installing ALL the Adobe products on the machine, then deleted everything under C:\Program Files\Adobe. Finally, I ran Registry Mechanic to try and catch anything the un-install might have missed.
Since the original posting I've noticed other postings regarding timeout issues with the eval copy of Acrobat. This might be related.
I'll try support & see what they say.
Thanks for your help!

Comparison of Acrobat Pro X to Livecycle in creating forms

1) Does Acrobat Pro X provide all of the objects (such as image fields, buttons, etc.) to be used in creating a form that LiveCycle does?
2) If you create a form in Acrobat Pro X, is it required to use a server, even though the PDF form is meant to be a standalone form?
3) Thanks.

The main difference in the types of fields available is an XFA form allows an image field and it allows a date field that includes a date picker. Acrobat actually allows you to use a button as an image field. The problem is it doesn't work with Reader, even if you fully Reader-enable the document. Maybe someday they'll restore this capability to Reader since a lot of people have feature requested this.
LiveCycle Designer also includes a large number of 1D bar code fields which are more difficult to implement with an acroform (using a text field), but it's still possible.
Forms created in Acrobat (acroforms) do not require a server and can be standalone forms. They are capable of submitting to a server if needed.

Cannot Edit a Form in Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi - use Livecycle

Hi all,
I was advised to buy Adobe Pro XI yesterday by the Direct Sales Adobe team because it includes "everything I need" to create and EDIT PDF forms. I actually rang up to buy X but was told it was now XI.
I tried to edit a form today and got this message:
"this form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe Livecycle Designer to edit this form"
I was told this was included in Pro but can't get past this message. I previously had a trial of Adobe Pro X and WAS able to edit this very form.
It is very frustrating. I cannot edit anything I have been working on.
FormsCentral seems too basic as I need to be able to edit the field name in the properties of the field.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
David

We created forms in acrobat 9 pro and now with XI pro cannot edit them. Error message states that livecycle designer is required to edit forms previously created in acrobat. Called tech support and waited for over an hour before being told that another product needed to be purchased for $300 more than the upgrade cost for acrobat pro XI!!! From the XI FAQ - The web site states:
The following customers are eligible for a free upgrade:
Customers who purchased a prior license to Acrobat and have purchased an upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro
Customers who have an Adobe Maintenance and Support contract or purchased Upgrade Plan eligible for an Acrobat XI Pro upgrade
Active Creative Cloud Complete members whose memberships started before October 15, 2012
The one-time LiveCycle Designer upgrade is available in English, French, German, or Japanese. Eligible customers can choose which language they would like to receive. Visit the Customer Support Portal to request an upgrade.
After entering in the needed info on the support portal was told that adobe will Not honor the sales rep & web site which both said we are eligible for the free upgrade. We asked for a full refund and will not longer be using any new adobe products. We went back to 9 pro forms work fine and adobe lost $. Nice work adobe - lie to customers and then act surprised that the customers want their $ back! They told us to just toss their software DVD in the trash where IT belongs, so we did!
Cheers,
Actiondan

Missing data in Acrobat Pro XI PDF created from Microsoft Word (2010) doc

When I create an "Adobe PDF" from a Microsoft 2010 Word doc that contains mainly images and text boxes, about 50% of the text boxes do not appear in the PDF. Also, some of the images (layered on top of each other) appear in a different order - the one on the bottom moves to the top.
How can I address this problem so that the PDF accurately reflects the Word document?
(I am using Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office 2010)

Finally figured it out -- if I view the form directly in Adobe Reader (over our network), I see the confusing message about "Click 'Sign' to fill out..."
BUT, if I open the form within a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc.), I see the usual message: "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print..."
It is doing what I expected; I just wasn't viewing it in the usual manner. Users will be seeing this form via a web browser, so problem solved.

Acrobat Pro XI transposes numbers for month and day in dates when saving optimized pdf to Excel spreadsheet.

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Excel 14.3.8 on a mac.
Saved PDF as "optimized PDF" then "save as other" > spreadsheet > Microsoft Excel Workbook.
Problem: numbers in some random dates are transposed so that month and day are reversed. No particular pattern to these errors. Only fix we've found is to go through and manually check and correct the date errors - there are hundreds of these errors in the document so this is not a good solution.
(Note: Excel columns with dates are specified as "date" fields. All dates are formatted as m/d/yy)
Any ideas what's causing this problem problem and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Shared Review Deadline Dates do not Update - Acrobat Pro. 9

I recently started two shared reviews in Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 When I attempt to extend the deadline dates on both it updates me in the tracker, but when anyone else in the reveiw attempts to add more comments they are told the review has expried.
I am the initiator of the reviews, and acording to Adobe I should be able to change the deadline date in the tracker and have it update the other reviewers so they can contine with their reviews. It does extend my deadline, but not anyone elses.
Does this function not work, should I set all shared reviews with "No Deadline"?
I am running Windows XP Pro, with 3 gig of memory, on an IBM Think Center.
The file is on a network shared folder where everyone who is reviewing has read/write rights.

Acrobat XI is not distributed with Designer. Designer is now a separate product. You can create forms in Acrobat as an AcroForm or using Forms Central (an online forms program). You can print the form to a new PDF and then recreate the fields in Acrobat using the recognize form fields. You will likely have to fix the form fields, but that would be the process. Generally, once a form is taken to Designer, you can't bring it back without such steps.
Designer is available with AA8 - AAX, but since is a separate product as I indicated.
