LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Table Header bug

My dynamic form (8.0 dynamic XML form) has strange behavior with table headers.
When rows are dynamically added to the table to make the table expand to a third page, the table headers become unstable. Once the table expands to the third page, if a row is added or removed, a new table header is added to the second page so the second page ends up having extra table headers.
I have been using LiveCycle Designer 8.0 that came with Acrobat Professional 8.0.
I have been using the Purchase Order.pdf, that came with Designer 8.0, as an example to create tables that can have rows added or removed dynamically. I checked the Purchase Order.pdf (8.0), and it also has the same buggy, table-header behavior.
I then downloaded Acrobat Professional 9.0 which comes with LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and checked the Purchase Order.pdf that came with it.
The Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) works correctly.
I then compared the timestamps of the Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) and Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) and their XML source.
The timestamps are different, Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) -10/17/2006 11:16 PM, Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) -5/23/2008 1:16 AM.
The main difference in the XML source between the two versions is their
Overflow-related tag.
The Purchase Order.pdf (8.0) has
The Purchase Order.pdf (8.2) has .
I dont know about Designer 8.1, but the table-header bug is definitely fixed in Designer 8.2.
Could someone please tell me what I need to install to fix this bug? Is there a service pack for Designer 8.0 or do I have to install Designer 8.2?
I have seen workarounds for this bug in the forum, but creating a master page containing the table header for each table in the form seems to be an excessive hack.
Thanks,
Mike

There is no patch .....if it is fixed in 8.2 then you will have to use that.

  • 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,

  • Generate a subtotals table in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

    Hi everybody.
    I'm having troubles with a template named Customer Invoice (of Application and user management > Business Flexibility > Form Template Maintenance), the case is I modified the template to show a subtotals table that I generate by code (FormCalc language) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but the problem is that the code of template just works with some invoices.

    Hi Ismael,
    as far as I can see there might be a mistake in the code itself. Did you check the tablerows you compare here?
    I think you might have unexpected values at here:
    tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue
    This might cause your unexpected result. Your results are never higher than expected, am I right?

  • Create a Table of Contents in LiveCycle Designer

    Hi Everyone,
    Can any one please show me how to create a form with table of contents (TOC). I have a form that contains 8 pages with 8 sections and the customer want
    to have a TOC so they can just click on it and it will directly go to a specific section without scrolling down of the form. They want it to work like a TOC that
    people used in Microsoft Office. Is it possible to have it done in LiveCycle Designer? If so, could anyone please show me how to create it or if you have any
    sample please post it on this forum. Any advise/help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Han Dao

    Hi,
    You can control this in the File / Form Properties  and PDF Security tab.
    Select "Use a password to open" and then from the drop down select an appropriate level of control for the users. For example "Commenting" includes stamps, which is what you are seeing on your form.Setting the security to "Filling in only" will prevent the behaviour you are seeing.
    This will require you to set a passowrd, which you will have to input everytime uou open the form in LC. Therefore it is worth setting this towards the end of development.
    Good luck,

  • Flowable Tables in LiveCycle Designer as Dynamic PDFs

    Hi just wondering if in a table under Row 1 I can add an additional field and it will still be flowable (see attached)
    If there are multiple items that need to be added I want the user to be able to add additional notes that is also expandable but I want it to remain as a list format like the attached - is this possible?

    Lorain,
    I am not sure if this can be done with LiveCycle Designer,  we have done this with a product that works with LiveCycle.  You can feed the XML data to DocOrigin and it supports this for output to PCL, PS, PDF and HTML.  Not sure if it this will help you.  You can also convert the XDP to use it in the DocOrigin Designer.   DocOrigin will not replace LC Forms but can be a nice addition for generation of the output for print, email or web.
    Here is a sample of the output  The table has a detail line item followed by 1 to X descriptive comments.  Another nice feature is the ability to alter the background color of every other line item, this is done by checking a box.   Support for Widows and Orphans is also supported across pages and pagination is automatic.   You can also include images in the detail line, however we had to keep the image small in this case because we do not know in advance how may comments are going to be included with any given line item.

  • How to split a column in adobe livecycle design?

    How does one split a column in adobe livecycle design. I have found that one can split a column after you have merged it. But I want to split two columns into four in the middle of a table. This can be done in Word. Is there a way even if one has to split each row? Does any one know? Like in the table below I would like to make Header 2 & Header 3, Rows 2 and 3 into 2 rows 4 columns.
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    Header 4
    Thanks
    Sheila

    If you want to have 1 column to be split in 4 columns, you can insert a table with 4 columns inside a column cell.. If you mean to add rows and you want to keep those 4 columns, you should add instances of the row where you inserted the table with 4 columns...
    Hope this helps!

  • Nasty table behavior (bug?) in FM 7.1 (structured)

    Hello,
    I have found that an Import => Element Definitions... command changes paragraph styles in tables.
    Here what I've done (all in structured FM 7.1 WinXP):
    1. opened new doc based on template.
    2. added two identical tables - formats came from template:
    - 1 head row (white text, black background),
    - 2 body rows (black text),
    - 3 cols in every row.
    3. typed some text in header row and in body rows.
    4. put cursor in second table, selected and applied (to selection) another format via Table Designer.
    5. run File => Import => Element Definitions... from template (the same one I've used in step 1)
    6. RESULT: all para styles in second table became Body; table where original format was not changed kept the original styles.
    Does anybody knows how to deal with it? Template/EDD problem?
    Thanks
    Slava

    Slava,
    Since the table is part of a structured flow, importing element definitions may indeed affect its formatting.
    If the new element definitions do not contain format rules that apply directly to the content of your table cells, the formatting of the cells is determined by the table format. In particular, the information in the table format includes the paragraph format used for each cell in the first row of each of the three parts of the table (heading, body, and footing) in the table from which the format was created (or updated). Since an actual table may have more columns than stored in the table format, FrameMaker's default behavior is to apply the paragraph format stored in the table format for the first cell in the row associated with that table part.
    Your two tables have different table formats. If different paragraph formats are stored in the two table formats, then, yes, importing element definitions will apply different paragraph formats to the cells in the two tables.

  • Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

    My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities.  Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms.  I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created.  I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that.  I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it?????  I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help.  So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer.  Isn't there another way?
    I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
    Thanks!

    Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
    -bind_at_load
                     Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols                when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
    Load resources lazily.
    You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

  • In SSRS , after exporting report in excel,wrap text property for cell and freeze column for SSRS table header not working in Excel

    I am working no one SSRS my table headers are freeze cangrow property is false and my report is working perfect while rendering data on RDL and i want same report after exporting in Excel also , i want my table header to be freeze and wrap text property
    to work after exporting in my report in excel but its not working ,is there any solution ? any patch ? any other XML code for different rendering ? 

    Hi Amol,
    According to your description, you find the wrap text property and fix column is not working after exporting into Excel. Right?
    In Reporting Services, when exporting to excel file, it has limitation for textbox.
    Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell. Font size, font face, decoration, and font style are the only formatting that is supported on individual text within an Excel cell.
    Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
    In this scenario, it supposed to be wrap text unless you merge cells. If cells are merged, word-wrap does not work correctly. If any merged cells exist on a row where a text box is rendered with the
    AutoSize property, autosize will not work. For the Fix Data Property, it can't be working in Excel. These are features when exporting to Excel. We can't change it because it's by design.
    Reference:
    Exporting to Microsoft Excel (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES closes when I open it...

    Hello all, I want to thank you beforehand for the help regarding this matter. I use Windows Vista and my Adobe LiveCycle Designer was working before but for the last week and a half or so I have not been able to get it to work! I have done scandisk/defrag/and have multiple software to keep my computer clean so I have taken those precautions beforehand. To the problem...:
    My Adobe LiveCycle Designer opens up and it was working previously as mentioned, but when I try to open it by either opening or converting a form or creating a new form with a template, I am not able to as it gives me an error message and closes! It gives me an error message of "Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has stopped working" and a screenshot of this is provided at the following link:
    http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/bc59d422150595157c212a5b181313244g.jpg
    I don't know what to do and wanted to see if I could solve this problem before I was forced to try to manually reinstall it so hopefully I don't have to go through that. I appreciate the help once again!

    Shawn,
    This may be a couple of known things; one is related to your specific installation (may have become corrupted if you did an upgrade from a previous version, especially if you upgraded from Beta?) Or, it may be related to a known SQL Server compatibility bug for which a hotfix will shortly be posted. (Problem with some Microsoft DLLs that get updated if you install SQL server).
    If you have SQL Server installed, try looking on these forums for a patch that should be posted within the next 2 days. If not - please contact me directly, as I'd like to get someone on my development team to help look through your installation and see what the problem is, so we can fix this properly.

  • Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

    Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
    Some background:
    1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
    2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
    3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
    Requirement:
    Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
    Solution:
    Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
    Issue
    This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
    I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
    So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
    Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
    Below is my sample code:
    PdfStamper ps = null;
    try {
    // read existing PDF document
    PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
    // optimize memory usage
    new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
    ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
    // retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
    AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
    // fill in PDF fields by parameter:
    // 1. field name
    // 2. text to insert
    af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
    af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
    af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
    af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
    af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
    //doesnt work!!!
    af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
    af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
    // make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
    ps.FormFlattening = true;
    // forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
    // a corrupted file!
    ps.Close();
    catch { }
    finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

    Hi FourEyes;
    Try using this.
    Select Col1, Col2, Col3
    into :P1_Field1, :P1_Field2, :P1_Field3

  • Livecycle userform with dynamic table

    Hi Everyone,
    New to Livecycle Designer and was hoping this is possible - Can you have a PDF userform with a dynamic table below it?...
    Basically the user fills out a userform then clicks an ADD button - this populates a dynamic table below the userform then clears/resets the userform - as the records fill the table an EDIT button appears in the last column so that if the user makes an error with a record they could click the EDIT button, this would bring the record back into the userform fields so they could change the field(s) they made the error in then a SAVE button would replace the ADD button in this instance, clicking SAVE then changes the record and clears/resets the userform ready for more entries.
    At the bottom of the PDF there would be an EXPORT button which attaches the table as a csv or tab-delimited text file to an email message...
    If someone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated - I have googled and searched the forums for an answer but they mostly relate to importing data into a dynamic table from a database or xml file... I was hoping to directly populate the table with the userform.
    I also have a PDF example which illustrates what I am trying to achieve... but seems you cannot attach to a post... I can email it if someone has a solution, but needs to see it visually.
    Cheers

    You don't know the names of your columns? hmm you do, because before you created dynamic table you had to create field catalog, so the structure and column names of newly (dynamically) created table will be the same like defined in the field catalog.
    The last loop also does not look good, in my opinion should be something like:
    LOOP AT lt_datatable +(my first table)+ ASSIGNING <ls_data4>.
        AT NEW pernr.
          APPEND initial line to <fs_1> assigning <fs_2>.
          <fs_2>-pernr = <ls_data4>-pernr.
        ENDAT.
        ASSIGN COMPONENT <ls_data4>-wage_type OF STRUCTURE <fs_2> TO <fs_5>.
        <fs_5> = <ls_data4>-amount.
    ENDLOOP.
    also keep in mind that number of calls of method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table is limited to 36 (?) calls within one program session because it uses dynamic subroutine pool behind so you will have short dump if you will execute that 37 times.

  • Font Issue in Form created in LiveCycle Designer ES2

    I have a PDF form that was created originally from Word's Acrobat conversion tool. Now I need to add functionality thru LiveCycle ES2 and have imported the form into LiveCycle.
    There is a set of text running down the side which indicates it is Times New Roman (In LiveCycle). I have made the changes but have not touched this text at all.  The form is saved as a Static PDF.
    When opened in Full Acrobat or Reader, the text running down the side is no longer in Times New Roman, but Myriad Pro.  I don't understand why LiveCycle is changing the font on text that I did
    not edit at all. 
    My Livecycle Form Properties are set to Embed Fonts.
    Trying to understand what is going on with this font and any help would be appreciated as I've racked my brain all afternoon on this trying different things.
    (As part of my troubleshooting process, I reviewed the original Acrobat form and in Acrobat that same text indicates the original font used for that text was Times New Roman PSMT and if you wanted to edit it, Acrobat would substitute Times New Roman. Not sure if this helps but thought I'd mention this....)
    4/18/14 UPDATE - ISSUE FIXED FOR NOW
    My original process above was to import the PDF into LiveCycle to Dynamic XML. The text would appear as Times New Roman but after adding functionality and saving, Livecycle continued to convert the text from Times New Roman to Myriad Pro. Embedding fonts and checking substitution list did not resolve.
    After spending the day trying to get LiveCycle to save the PDF and keep the problem text in Times New Roman, I finally reimported the original Acrobat PDF form into Livecycle all over again but this time as a Fixed Page Layout, where the document gets imported as artwork and cannot be edited. I then added functionality in Livecycle and resaved.

    Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this?  My LiveCycle form is a dynamic form.  It seems like livecycle Designer ES2 has corrupted it or designer ES2 has a bug that makes reader and acrobat print engine not recognize the pages.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Can't select or edit text fields in LiveCycle Designer

    Greetings!
    I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I need to edit the header text in this PDF, so I tried to do that in Acrobat PRO, which said: "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form." I got a trial version of LiveCycle to see if I could edit it. But when I open the PDF in LiveCycle, I can only edit the input fields. All of the labels, all the text, headers is uneditable. I can't select it, I don't see it in the PDF Hierarchy either. Half of the Edit Menu is grayed out. Can't copy or anything else. Please help me figure out why this happens. If you need the original PDF, let me know, I can send it to you. Thank you.

    What happens when you try to edit the header? From Acrobat, when you open the "Tools" sidebar, is "Edit Document Text" grayed out/disabled? If you highlight some of the text, then right-click and select "Repace Text", do you get a popup warning about the form being interactive and having special features?
    In LiveCycle, I can't even select the text. The select box just goes right over it, and if it goes over buttons or input boxes, it does select them, but not the text or even the labels for the input forms.
    In Acrobat, I can click on "Edit Text & Images", but it tells me I need to go to LiveCycle. I don't see a "Replace Text" on right-click. There's "Edit Text", but it just tells me to take it to LiveCycle.
