LiveCycle Designer - Table content overflow

Hi all,
I have created a table and checked the box "Allow Page Breaks within Content" for both Table and the Body Row. My table normally spread thru 2 pages, and I found that the first row in the 2nd page does not introduce page break even the row content run out of the page.
Can anybody help?? Thanks

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

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,
N.

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

Problem in page overflow with table contents having control level

Hello members,
My scenario is to display table contents from (Master Page)MP1 and then overflow to MP2 and use the MP2 for the rest of the overflowed pages too. In the form context, the table has control level grouping on a field(F1), which is set in context, because of which we can sub total for the group of records based on field F1.
Take the scenario that the content area(CA1) of MP1 fits only 10 records and content area(CA2) of MP2 fits only 20 records.
Test scenario 1:
If the table contents have records upto 20, then MP1 gets filled with first 10 records and then MP2 with rest of the 10 records. This scenario works fine.
Test scenario 2:
If the table contents have records upto 5, then only MP1 with current 5 records gets filled. This scenario also works fine.
Test scenario 3:( ISSUE BEING FACED)
If the table contents have records upto 50,(which are more than the combined number of rows of MP1 and MP2) then no data is displayed on MP1 and data starts filling in next MP2 and only approx 22 records are visible where few even cross the content area of the MP2. And no over flow for the rest of the records happen.
We use SFP Transaction in SAP to modify the layouts of the forms. Please let us know if the table having group set by control level causes any issue in this scenarion Test scenario 3.
Thanks

Hi,
master pages don't support page breaks. Those pages are only used for the background things of body pages like page numbers, company logs or letter head layouts.
Don't use repeating objects on masterpages that may overflow its content area, this will always end up with unexpected results.
Put all those objects on a regular page (body page) which allows page breaks.

Reader 11.0.07 does not display content of PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

We use some PDFs created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1 which do not show any content when opened with Reader 11.0.07, only a blank display area or erratic copies of the screen behind it. Documents look fine in print preview though and also print correctly. Tried to change various security or display settings, no effect. Tried other machines, different hardware, different OS versions (Win7, Win8), same effect on every single device with 11.0.07 installed.
Any ideas, anyone?!?

Hi,
Not sure why you are resolving the node (??), also I would not be inclined to include a period in the object name (.), maybe this is why you are resolving the node.
Also I don't see in the script where you are calling the instanceManager, in order to use the addInstance method.
Having said that the problem may be in the File > Form Properties > Defaults tab:
Check that Preserve script changes is set to Automatic.
Lastly is the form Reader Enabled? It would need to be for users with Reader to save the changes, including new instances of a repeating element.

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. I don't know what's happening, I hope someone can helps me with this topic.
I'm attaching screenshots I hope it can help you to understand me, in the screenshots I'm marking the table I generated.
My code is (Language FormCalc ):
var longitud = tblTable.all.length
var aux
var acum = ""
var auxIndex = tblTable.all.length
for i=0 upto longitud - 1 step 1 do
    if(i == 0)then
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))
            Table4.Row1[i].CellMesure.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.txtQuantityUnit"))

            Table4.Row1[i].CellCurrency.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.txtNetAmountCurrency"))
            Table4.Row1[i].Cell0.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.colProduct"))
        else
            var bandera = 0
            for j=0 upto Table4.Row1.all.length - 1 step 1 do
                if (tblTable[i].rowItem.colProduct.rawValue eq Table4.Row1[j].Cell0.rawValue ) then
                    Table4.Row1[j].Cell3.rawValue =Sum(0.00, Table4.Row1[j].Cell3, tblTable[i].rowItem.tblNetValue.rowNetValue.decHiddenNetAmount)
                    Table4.Row1[j].Cell1.rawValue =Sum(0.00 , Table4.Row1[j].Cell1, tblTable[i].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity)
                    if(xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> "" or xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i , "].rowItem.colDescription")) <> null) then

                    break
                endif
            endfor
            if (bandera == 0) then
                Table4.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1).Cell1.rawValue = xfa.resolveNode(concat("tblTable[",i,"].rowItem.frmHiddenItem.frmQuantity.decQuantity"))

            endif
        endif
endfor
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
Sincerely.

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?

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.

Adobe Livecycle Designer - Content Area can not be re-sized

I've installed Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1 and I am able to create forms using transaction SFP and print them.
According to the Adobe documentation, I should be able to re-size the content area on the Master page. When I try to do this, I am able to make the content area smaller, but can't make the area bigger. I also can't move the content area down. the application ignores what I do, but doesn't give any error message or warnings.
has anyone else experienced this situation??

Hi Chris,
First make sure that you are in the Edit mode in transacrion SFP. If you are in Display mode the changes you make will not be saved. Also a message is displayed 'Changes in layoyt are not saved in display mode'.
Next make sure that if you are resizing the content area for a particular Master page, you first need to select that master page from the Hierarchy view and then click on the Tab named Master in the Layout editor. Only then the changes will be reflected.
Hope this helps.

Content of textfields is gone, when using LiveCycle Designer Version 8.2

Hi there,
I´m having a Problem with LiveCycle Designer in Version 8.2 (exactly 8.2.1.4029.1.523496). When It try to open a PDF-document containing an AcroForms-Form with some textfields, I can see all the textfields of the document, but their content (the text) is missing, I only see the empty fields.
When I use LiveCycle Designer Version 8.1 (exactly 8.1.1.3021.1.438934) everthing works fine. The xml-sources produced by the two differnt LiveCycle-versions look different, too.
Is there any known bug or something, which could explain this behaviuor?
Thanx a lot

Hi Paul,
in the attachment you´ll find the pdf-Document and two xdp-files which I

Text field in table not overflowing onto next page!

Hi,
I have set up a table with a text field in the first row, added buttons to add and delete rows, set to allow page breaks and made the text field to expand to fit and allow multiple lines. The problem I am having is that if I put a lot of text into the text field it will not expand on to the next page so not all of the text is visible. If I just set up a 1 row table the expansion works as I would expect and takes up as many pages as needed. Somewhere along the line the add, remove buttons or their associated javascript or the Repeat Row option seems to be having an effect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Greig

Basically you can tell the bodypage to overflow to the second masterpage when it runs out of space.
On the bodypage properties that's done within the pagination tab.
Make sure that you enable the "Allow page breaks in contents" tickbox.
By the way, just wondering, how did you save the form as dynamic, since dynamic is only enabled in the SAP world by setting a dynamic/enabled flag.
If you are testing outside of sap in the LiveCycle designer you might want to close the file and then reopen it, after you saved it as dynamic. There's a nifty setting in the LiveCycle designer properties which enables you to create dynamic pages by default. It's in the LiveCycle Designer Options.

The user's assertion is surprising to me, but perhaps I'm missing something important. I thought the correct position was from the conclusion of my earlier post "it can't be done". Adobe state their Reader Touch doesn't support XFA (http://blogs.adobe.com/readermobile/2012/12/13/adobe-reader-for-windows-8-tablets/). Unless (see that blog entry) you changed the type of form.

PDF Templates: using forms designed in LiveCycle Designer

Greetings,
I’m creating templates using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 and using Adobe Acrobat X. When I upload the PDF templates I’ve created to BI Publisher, I hit a brick wall. The reports spit back *“FormProcessor internal error.”* when I click on View, then click through the "Error: contact an administrator" box. When I choose Export... I get a broken PDF file that doesn't seem to have any content.
When I go to Layouts and click Map Form Fields for any of these layouts, I end up with a blank-looking screen. It says "Map PDF Form Fields" at the top, but there's just a gray box below it, where you should see the PDF form.
It should look like this
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10383_01/doc/bip.1013/b40017/T421739T423025.htm
(right by “Adding a Predefined PDF Form as a Template”)
I'm using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0
Any help is appreciated! The "FormProcessor internal error" is so vague that I'm not sure where to look for help. I can generate reports using RTF templates with no problems. LiveCycle Designer seems perfect for the task at hand, so I'm really hoping I can get this working.
Thanks,
Martin

LiveCycle Designer ES Rights Management

Hi
I am new to LiveCycle Designer ES (included in my copy of Acrobat 9 Pro) and am still trying to figure out if I can utilize the rights management server features (or if I would need to based on available features). While I suspect that this would require purchase of software additional to what is included in the Acrobat 9 Pro package, I am not sure about this. I've read what is available in the help guide and online, but I am still unclear about use of these extra features. If setting up a policy and restricting PDF content to make it more secure is available, this may be useful in a particular health project.
I have a website (latest Windows server) managed by an ISP and am wondering if I could use this shared server as a LifeCycle Rights Management server. If I created a connection and policy for this server (not sure what is involved here), could I use it to better secure a PDF or form with sensitive (health) information?
Any help, suggestions for reading, would be appreciated. I'm afraid I am not understanding this set of features, how to use them or if they can be used without additional purchase of software.
Kind Regards,
Stephen

Yes additional software is required, as well as a https link to the server. The Rights management server is part of the LiveCycle suite and it will allow you to define policies that can be applied to various PDFs. These policies are kept separate from the PDF and are accessed via the https link I mentioned earlier. When opening the PDF the user must authenticate and based on his/her permissions in the policy the interface in Acrobat/Reader will adjust accordingly. For example if print is disabled then the print buttons will be greyed out for that form only. Because the policy is separated from the PDF you can change the policy on the fly and the next time the user opens that document the new rights will be applied. There is also a provision for working offline (no access to the server).
This is just a 10000 foot view you may want to contact a Sales rep and have them start a trial for you.

To active Text Formatting function and more tool bars in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11

I have an original PDF form need to be edited to a fillable form, I can add Text Field into form as a fillable text field into this PDF form in the Design View, however I can not edit any of the text , table and several other Objects. I am an authorized to the Adobe LiveCycle Designer 11 , How can I active my whole tool Bar to edit the PDF file? If the otiginal PDF is locked or read only for the above objects, how can I unlock them?

Hi,
if you import a given PDF file into Designer, it is displayed as background artwork in your form.
Most tools of Designer then will be deactivated.
There is no way to edit this PDF background in Designer, as the kind of PDF you create with Designer is completely different to the one you create with Acrobat or InDesign.
You either can edit your PDF in Acrobat or you have to build a new form in Designer from scratch, I believe.
