LiveCycle Designer how make full Reader Extended Form

HI, I have developed a Dynamic Form using Live Cycle and then taken into Adobe PDF to add bookmarks. Finally save as a Reader Extended Dynamic Pdf with form fill options. Now the problem is that it is not fully extended and a person who is filling a form can not add comments. Any idea how can I get it done or anybody from Adobe help me by the right licence to activate this feature. Thanks.

Java runtime requirements for clients of Reader Extended forms

I need to know if there is a minimum Java (JRE) requirement on the client machines to properly interact with a Reader Extended form created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9?
Thank you,

Thank you Paul and Steve for your quick responses. I was concerned that the JRE might have been an issue causing some odd behaviors within the form at a certain client. I guess that I will now have to pursue a different path.

Completed reader extended forms coming up blank

I have an issue with one of my Reader Extended forms (dynamic form created in LCD ES 8.2) and it's compatibility with different versions of Reader. The problem occurs when the person completing the form has a different version of Reader than the person receiving the completed form. When the completed form is opened in a different version, the form appears in it's original, incomplete state. However, the completed form opens correctly if opened with the same version as was used to complete the form.
All workstations here have either Reader 8.1 or Reader 9. The order does not seem to make a difference - the Reader 9 completed form cannot be viewed correctly in Reader 8, and vice versa.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Niall,
Changing the binding to "normal" worked. I was having some issues with the performance speed a few months ago, and one of the tips I read in an article was to turn off subform binding. It didn't have any negative effects on the form, but I did not have the opportunity to test it across multiple versions of reader. Even if I had the opportunity, it wouldn't have occurred to me that it might cause an issue such as this because the form data is not bound to an external data source.
Thanks for your help!

Reader Extended form rights issues in Reader X

Hi all
I have a form which is reader extended, which is submit to a SOAP message service(just the form XML) after the form has been filled out. This all takes place over an internal network. When we clicked on the submit button in Reader 9, it would ask if you wanted to allow the connection to the webservice, and would send it through once we click "Allow".
In Reader X however, the gold bar at the top of the form pops up when we click submit, and after choosing to trust the form, it reloads the whole form, and all of the changes made are lost.
Is there any way to programatically tell Reader X to allow the form to make webservice calls(even if theres a security popup) when the form is first opened?
Regards
Ross Malan

Yes, it can, especially if you are using Reader 8 or 9. There were some issues with earlier reader versions that required the positive confirmation of the Reader Extensions credential with the certificate revocation list (CRL), which required that it had to go out to the web to fetch the CRL.
Depending on how deep you want your testing methodology to go, I'd take a virgin windows machine that does not even have reader installed, download or otherwise transfer the RE installer and your form and take it offline. Then install Reader and open your form. It should open with the additional rights with no problem.
But the bottom line is that it is designed to work for your use case.

How can I read Extended APDU input to the same buffer

The following is the code I am currently using where inBuffer is an intermediate array of 1000 length. However, I do not want to allocate any buffers at all, and just want to send a command apdu of 1000 byte length and modify it in the code and return the modified buf in the response APDU.
// Read extended APDU input
byte[] buf = apdu.getBuffer();
short bytesRead = apdu.setIncomingAndReceive();
short dataOffset = apdu.getOffsetCdata();
// store first chunk in our intermediate byte array <-- how do i get rid of the intermediate array
Util.arrayCopyNonAtomic(buf, dataOffset, inBuffer, (short) 0, bytesRead);
// what is the overall length?
short overallLength = apdu.getIncomingLength();
short messageOffset = bytesRead;
if (bytesRead != overallLength){ // otherwise we're finished, all bytes received
     short received = 0;
     do{
               received = apdu.receiveBytes((short)0);
               Util.arrayCopyNonAtomic(buf, (short)0, inBuffer, messageOffset, received);
               messageOffset += received;
          } while(received != 0);
* REST OF CODE IN PROCESS METHOD
I have also tried replacing the above code with the following
short bytesLeft = (short) (buffer[ISO7816.OFFSET_LC] & 0x00FF);
if (bytesLeft < (short)55) ISOException.throwIt( ISO7816.SW_WRONG_LENGTH );
short readCount = apdu.setIncomingAndReceive();
while ( bytesLeft > 0){
// process bytes in buffer[5] to buffer[readCount+4];
bytesLeft -= readCount;
readCount = apdu.receiveBytes ( ISO7816.OFFSET_CDATA );
as shown in the javadocs API, but it does not compile.
This is my command APDU:
/send 800100000003E8000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003E8

I am using JavaCard 3.0 with JCOP in Eclipse. How can I read the extended length apdu to the same buffer? I have no problem in returning an extended length response APDU. Thanks a lot for the help.

You should not call the convenience method setIncomingAndReceive() in your first code. Please find out about the different APDU states. Furthermore, your Applet should implement the ExtendedLength tagging interface.

How to catch/read mal-formed xml at Error Handler.

I have added Error Handler at starting node of Message Flow in a Proxy Service and its(Proxy Service) listenning to a JMS queue.
So when i am putting a mal-formed XML into the JMS queue, getting "Failure while unmarshalling message: Failed to parse XML text" error at ALSB server log.
But i am not able to capture the mal-formed xml inside Error Handler node.
Can any one help me how to capture input mal-formed xml in Message Folw.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Deba

Re: How to catch malformed xml using error handling mechanism in from a proxy? Had a solution for similar issue. It appears that in-case of malformed XML, $body will not be populated with faulty xml snippet. One way out of this solution is, design your service as Text service and create another service isXML as explained in my above reply.
Thanks

Reader Extended forms are broken in Adobe Reader XI

We use Livecycle Server 11.0 to enable saving of forms data in our forms. We are receiveing complaints from people using Reader XI that if they reopen a form they are working on, they get the following message. "This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no loner available".
Is this a known bug with Redaer XI. We have a lot of Licecycle licences and cannot guarantee that users will not use Reader XI.

is the problem specific to Reader 11 ? not experienced on reader 10 ?
you could compare the settings of a working Reader 10.x with Reader 11.x where it throws the exception.
Also ensure that while creating form in designer > File > Form properties> Default PDF render format is set as: Dynamic XML Form.

Using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES and secure parts of form using signatures.

Hi to all ...
I have upgraded to new LiveCycle Desinger 8.1 few days ago, and still do not know all the new features.
I was requested to develop new LiveCycle Form, but this time it has to be secured by Digital Signatures or what every appropriate method.
The form has exactly 2 sections and 2 Digital Signatures:
1. The first section/part is to be filled by the Staff (let us call him the Authoring Staff).
Any one can fill the first part.
After the first part is signed, the Data Entry on the first part should be locked, and no one on Earth should be able to change the data on the first part. Only the signer of the first part is allowed to update/clear the signature but only and only of the Second part is not yet signed.
The staff should not be allowed to sign the form unless all mandatory fields and other validation logic is statisfied.
Only the Signer of the Form and special authorized staff/group of staff will be allowed to open the form. Let us call them Group01.
2. The second section/part is to be filled by special authorized staff/group (say Group02), they are basicall HR Staff (this is a secret).
The second part can only be filled if the first part is filled and signed by the Authoring Staff.
The second part can be signed only if the validation logic on the second part is true (no errors, and all mandatory fields are filled).
Once the second part is signed, the first part the the second part should be locked, and no one on earth should be able to change anything on the form.
Only the signer of the form should be able to clear the signature of the 2nd part and make any changes requried.
If the 2nd part is signed, the Authoring Staff should not be able to change anything on the form.
*****End of Requirements.*****
I have just started, and I am requested to desing the form and implement the required security in 10 days only.
Can any one please help me ?
I am doing my research now.
Thank you.
Tarek.

Dear Dfoto,
Thank you so much for being so kind to spend the effort and reply back, I though my question was left behind the sun... but now I am very happy in deed.
To be more specific, the Form has 2 parts. The first part "Subform1" any one can fill and sign.
The second part "Subform2", only certain users can fill and sign.
I think I found a very strong lead to my solution, when I was playing with LiveCycle Desinger few days ago.
On the Singature Field Advanced Setting, there is a place you can attach the public part of a certificate (Digital Signature) of any user, one or more.
In this part, you tell LC that only those users "signing parties" can sign the field. I tested it and it worked.
Now, if I can use this feature via JavaScript to find out if the user who is filling the form, can sign this field, then he can fill the form. If he cannot sign the field, then he cannot fill the form. I can do that by setting the "access" property of the Subform. Another solution is that I can prevent the user from hitting the "Submit" button unless he signes the designated Signature Field.
I have another small issue:
I found out that if the Signature field is part of a repeating dynamic Subform, it will not work during run-time. Very bad in deed. While I cannot understand why ?, I tool this as "By Desing" feature.
Now, if the Signature is locking parts of forms which has dynamic content (repeating subforms), it will always show somthing like "Signature is corrupted or form was changed after it was signed".
Is this normal ? Is there a way to control Dynamic Forms using Digital Signatures without such annoying issues ?
Thank you.

In LIVECYCLE DESIGNER how do I code a submit button to only submit one page of a multipage PDF

I have a multipage PDF I've designed in Livecycle and have print and submit buttons on each unique form in the document. I am able to create code (which I've copied from someplace) that allows only one page to print but when I click the submit button it wants to submit the entire document. PS - I created the Submit from the blank button and have it set to submit PDF not XML.

I don't think you can submit just a page of your PDF like you printed just a page. The difference is that when you print, the PDF becomes dots on paper, while when you submit a PDF it must remain completely intact to be machine readable, especially since the forms on a LiveCycle (XFA) document can have complex dependencies between pages.

Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 2 - Adobe Dynamic XML Forms?

How can you convert a dynamic XML form design in a static PDF Form design? I tried to save a dynamic XML Form as a static PDF Form, and then tried to preview it in Designer but the layout change scripts were working which should work only for dynamic xml forms and not for the static pdf forms. Please suggest another way to do it. Thanks in advance.

You use Master Pages to set layout that you want to use on multiple pages.
Design what you want in a Master Page and then assign it to the pages you want in Object>Pagination>Place: and choose On Page> whatever you called your Master Page.

Reader extended form

Hi,
We have a PDF which was created and javascripted in Designer 7.0
The 1st page of the document has a docReady event which calls a function to display a welcome message box. When the form is opened, this message box is displayed only once.
We sent the document to ADOBE to get certified and apply reader extension. The file we receive is 100 times the original size and when the document is opened in Reader 7.0.1, the welcome message box displays twice (one after the other).
Any ideas on why this happens?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Problem 1: File increasing 100 times after ARES (i.e. Reader extension applied to file).
Solution: Our logo image was bigger than actual size. Making the logo actual size and a static image kept the file size normal.
Problem 2: Opening alert is executed in docReady event. This alert was being shown twice as we have a PRD417 barcode on our forms.
Solution: Bug with Reader and will be fixed in 7.0.5
Thanks

Reader Extending Designer Form in Acrobat Pro 8

Dear All,
Last year I managed to put together an organisational survey where users fill in a form created in Designer 7.0 and then hit a submit button which spits all entered data out to an MS Database. It worked great.
I reader extended this survey to work on adobe reader 7.0 as that was what was installed on most of the client machines at the time.
Now I am revising the survey for 2008 but running into a problem which has just about got the better of me.
No matter what I do, running the reader extended form in adobe reader ver x.x does not submit the entered data to the database. Yet if I run it in Acrobat Pro or the preview tab through Designer, it works fine.
For simplicity, I have created a test form.
It only has a text field which is linked to a field within an MS database. The MS database only has 1 field.
The form then has a submit button which contains the following java code for the click event.
xfa.sourceSet.test.update();
xfa.sourceSet.test.close();
app.alert("Worked!!!!");
Another button (which is set to invisible) contains the following java code
xfa.sourceSet.test.open();
xfa.sourceSet.test.addNew();
which is triggered on the initialize event.
All works fine until I have to open the form in Acrobat Pro 8 to reader extend it. The saved reader extended version when opened in any reader version, does nothing when clicking the submit button. Yet I know it has been successfully reader extended because when opening in reader 7.0 it says you can save data entered in this form.
I have tried with Designer 7.0 but same thing.
When I open the form I created in early 2007 in Reader 7.0 and it works I sit mystified and say "How?"
The issue is definetly with the reader extending.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as I have exhausted all avenues I can think of.
Thanking You in advance.
Daniel

Acrobat 8 Professional includes LiveCycle Designer 8, so if the form was created with LiveCycle Designer 8 or older, the yes should have the option to edit the form. Acrobat 8 Professional under the menu option 'Forms' will have an option to open the form in LiveCycle Designer. If the form was created with a newer version, there could be some issues with newer features not available in version 8.

LiveCycle Designer won't preview with Reader DC. Preview mode will not work. Attempting to preview gets errors (507:507), (103:103), and sometimes crashes LiveCycle Designer. How do i get preview mode?

I can not get LiveCycle's preview mode to work. It has worked in the past, but now with Reader DC i can't use preview mode. How do i get Adobe LiveCycle designer to work with Reader DC?

it seems the problem is caused directly by adobe reader X.
I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
my configuration:
windows xp pro
adobe reader x
adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
admin rights on the pc ; )
I might add that you are not alone!
I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
That used to work until I installed Reader X.
Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!

Livecycle Designer 7.0 - How do I link a text box in a form to a radio button or checkbox?

Hello,
I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 to create a form. I have a scenario where I have several options on a question where they choose one radio button. The last option of the radio button has a text box accompanying it and I only want it to be able to be filled out/typed into if that particular radio button is chosen. Not to be able to be typed into if that particular radio button is not chosen as an answer to that question.
How do I do that?
Also how to I do the same for a text box to be entered into and typed into only if the accompanying checkbox is checked?
Help?

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_des igner_es
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...
