LiveCycle Form Distribution Fail - OAuth1

I created a form for distribution using LiveCycle Designer ES4 trial version and cannot send the form, I get an error that it cannot verify the email address. After researching this issue I need to use OAuth2 for Client Side Applications instead of OAuth1 but I don't know how I to do this in LiveCycle and Acrobat. Can anyone offer some assistance?

Hi,
You can set up a custom submit button that will use a different email address at runtime, depending on users input (eg which Centre they select). There is a sample here (you want to look at the script in the click event of the first email button: https://acrobat.com/#d=JXrO*Eb8bm9jtqFWwxYmsA
However, if you are using Acrobat.com to distribute the form and collate the responses, then the email address attached with that Acrobat.com account will override the email address in the submit button. You should be able to test this before you deploy your form.
One workaround would be to distribute the form outside of Acrobat.com and then manually collect the responses in each centre.
Good luck,
Niall

Distribution failed to complete

Hi experts,
I am in the process to distribute a report in reports and forms 10g and DB is 10g. In the forms menu I have used this code to call the report
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?MYKEY&report=myreport.rep'||'&DESTINATION=distribution.xml'||'&DISTRIBUTE=YES'||'&_BLANK');
after the parameter form I get the following error message
REP-34304: d:\orawin90\reports\dtd\distribution.dtd (The device is not ready)
REP-34304: Distribution failed to complete; review the distribution lists
I wonder from where d:\orawin90.... is coming, because in my distribution.xml file I have not mentioned any path like this.
But if I mention the .xml file hardcoded full pathname then the report runs without this error msg in the server but not from any client machine.
following is my distribution.xml file content which resides in the same folder where my all .fmx and .rep s are there in the server.
<destinations>

<foreach>
<mail id="ex2"
to="&<email_id>" ----------email_id is a column in the report
from="[email protected]"
subject="This mail contains Medical Statement for &<emp_no>">
<body srcType="text">
Please find attached your Medical statement.
</body>
<attach format="pdf" name="medstmt_&<emp_no>.pdf" srcType="report" instance="this">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</attach>
</mail>
</foreach>
</destinations>
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

That path is probably used by the application server to parse the distribution.xml file you provided. So there could be some issues there in the application server access rights.

Merging pdf and livecycle form pdfs

I would like to merge a regular pdf created from word with a livecycle create form. Acrobat will not permit this. The livecycle form is a static pdf form with not complex functions. Can this be done?
Thanks
Jacque

Thanks, is there a program or a way to combine them into a single file for distribution?

Adobe form distribution problem

Form created in LiveCycle and distributed with Adobe Pro...3 choices for distribution.
1) Through Acrobat.com (which stores the responses on Adobe servers)
2) By email (This is not an option for me because these forms can not invoke an email client on submission from the user. --> group policy locked-down machines.)
3) To an internal server
Option 3 works great for me as long as the person submitting the form is on my LAN. The problem is that we have users not on the LAN submitting the form. My repository for the responses needs to be accessible from the internet.
What I tired:
Shared folder on server. Full permissions for "everyone" just to avoid that as a problem during configuration....
Folder web shared by IIS.
Trying to use the distribution wizard to set this up for that folder. It wants a UNC path but that will not work for external users and no matter what http path I put in there is tells me it is unable to create the shared folder....
Obviously, if the forms can distribute and submit to Acrobat.com then they can submit to my own server. The question is how can I do this? Very frustrating.

Hello Gregg,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble distributing your form. However, I'm not sure I understand exactly what's going wrong when you try to use Acrobat.com to distribute the form; what happens when you select that option? It should be a mostly automated process, and there's a video on using Acrobat.com for form distribution here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0348
If you are not interested in using Acrobat.com for forms (it's not entirely clear whether you are trying to use Acrobat.com or another server), please post your question to the Acrobat forum; as this forum is for Acrobat.com questions, we are not able to help with questions specific to other Adobe products and services.
Here is the home page for Acrobat Help and Support:
http://www.adobe.com/support/acrobat/
Here is a link to the moderated Acrobat Users forums:

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,

Copy text restriction and Form Distribution

Hello,
I am doing a project using the trial version of Adobe LiveCycle ES4 designer suite. I want a situation where users can enter data in the form and save it and at the same time they should not be able to copy text from the form.
If I put copy text restriction on the form, then I am unable to distribute the form and vice versa. By form distribution, I am saving a copy on my machine to test it.
Can you please suggest me what should I do to have both copy text restriction & form distribution possible?
A quick response would really be appreciated.
Regards,
Mohit

Hi,
I don't really know if the text field can be selected using Ctl+a, but if that is possible how about adding extra text field that is linked to pulldown menu?
If the usage of the PDF is only for copying, then I would make a formcalc or javascript to combine all the text into one text field so that user only need to copy paste one field.

Distribute Form button failing to show dialog box

Has anyone else had this problem? I click the Distribute Form button and it fails to bring up the Form Distribution Options dialog box.
This is driving me nuts. Any help is appreciated.
Jen
Updating this a bit. Moved the file to another machine and it works but same file not working still on other machine. Any ideas what would stop this dialog box from appearing?

        Hi there ,
       OA Framework has different way to show the dialog page , you can import the dialouge bean
      ( OADialogPage )
       and follow the code mentioned below in your controller class ( PFR ) :
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(OAException.WARNING,
mainMessage, null, "", "");
String yes = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_YES", null);
String no = pageContext.getMessage("AK", "FWK_TBX_T_NO", null);
dialogPage.setOkButtonItemName("DeleteYesButton");
dialogPage.setOkButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setNoButtonToPost(true);
dialogPage.setPostToCallingPage(true);
pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);
Please let me know if its not clear / if you need any further input .
Regards ,
Keerthi

Form Distribution Bug #4

Acrobat Pro 9.2.0
This bug was mentioned elsewhere by someone else but I thought I would mention it again since it has still not been fixed, and this might help someone else who is having the same problem.
The first screen of the Distribute Form dialog lets you choose the method you want to use to collect responses - Acrobat.com, email, or an internal web site. There is a checkbox at the bottom of the screen that says "Remember my choice." If this box is checked, this screen will be bypassed the next time the form is distributed.
However if you are distributing the form by email and have the "Remember my choice" box checked, the next time you try to distribute a form you get the error message "Failed to send the form to recipients", followed by "Form distribution is aborted."
The workaround is to leave the "Remember my choice" box unchecked and go through the whole dialog every time you distribute a form.

How to use Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard / Pro to leverage features in Adobe Reader

Can someone please tell me how to use the Adobe LiveCycle Forms Standard or Pro module to leverage features in Adobe Reader? Do you also need to have the Reader Extensions Module?
The forms data sheet says that it is possible to leverage features in Adobe Reader but does not go on to detail how.

Depends on your deployment pattern. You can just use Reader Extensions if you're publishing forms on a site, if you need to prefill or perform other processing on the template then LiveCycle Forms is needed. If you want to render to HTML5 for tablet support then Forms Pro is needed.

Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

Hello,
I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
Here's my situtation:
I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
, I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines.
What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
Thank you!

I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

Acrobat 9 Pro form distribution problem (Enhanced Security?)

I am trying to distribute an Acrobat Pro form to several individuals who happen to be listed in my Outlook 2003 Address Book. When I type an email address into the "To" section of the form distribution pane, Acrobat automatically converts the email address to the recipient's name, which I can only assume is being accessed throughthe Outlook Address Book. Is there any way to isolate Acrobat Pro from my address book? Would changing the Acrobat preferences for "Security (Enhanced)" and un-checking "Automatically trust sites from my Win OS security zones" keep Acrobat from accessing my Outlook address book?

Is it tunred off for the Reader installation or in your Acrobat installation. It doesn't matter what your Acrobat settings are when it's used by someone else with Reader.
Recent versions of Acrobat/Reader do not cache form data in the way mentioned by GKaiseril. This used to happen when a form was viewed in a browser.

Acroread 8.1.2 unable to process PDF 1.6 documents generated by Adobe LiveCycle Forms 7.0

Our workflow uses LiveCycle Forms to generate PDF 1.6 documents with embedded JavaScript and XML. These PDFs work fine with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows; they display correctly, the interactive fields work as expected and the documents can be printed properly.
However, acroread 8.1.2 on Solaris is not able to process the same documents correctly. When we run acroread headlessly as follows:
cat xxx.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -level2 > xxx.ps
the resulting PostScript file displays a message saying "To view the full contents of this document, you need a later version of the PDF viewer. You can upgrate to the latest version of Adobe Reader from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html"
I have confirmed that we are using the latest version of acroread for Solaris.
Does anyone have any insight into why this message is being generated by acroread 8.1.2?
edit: acroread is able to process other PDFs as above without problem. It only has problems with PDFs generated by LiveCycle Forms which include embedded JavaScript and XML.

Neha,
Thanks for the response.
We are running acroread headlessly since it is on a remote server that we access via telnet. Without an XServer session, I can't tell whether acroread is able to read and display the PDF files normally. However, we can view the PDFs with Adobe Reader 8.1.2 on Windows and the acroread -toPostScript command-line that we are using does work properly with other PDFs.
I will email you a copy of a problematic PDF shortly.
Regards,
Steven Dickson

Connecting to a Database from a LiveCycle form

Good morning everyone,
I've been working at understanding how to connect to a database via my livecycle form and up to here, i can easilly enough connect to an ACCESS DB.
I created an ODBC,
a simple 1 table MS Access DB
and a simple form that connects to that DB via the ODBC.
My question is, how do i set this up if i want my clients to use this form? i cant really have that ODBC installed on all their machines, so how can i have this setup instead?
I do have access to a LiveCycle server, but i only have the Extended reader module installed, nothing else. Can it be done and if so, how would i go about setting this up?
If i can get that to work, this would open up a lot of possibilities where i work at.
So what i need is a way to mimic that ODBC setup, but without having to create 5000 ODBC connections on my clients machines
If you need clarifications on anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you yet again,
PAtrick

Hi Patrick,
You can create a process in workbench which will make the JDBC calls and bring the data (See this - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/services.pdf)
Then you can use the SOAP endpoint of this process in the LiveCycle form and invoke the process
Hope this helps.

Need to add flex grid in livecycle form to generate dynamic PDF

Hi,
not sure this is the right fourm or not, but I require a way to add flex data grid in my livecycle form to generate PDF containing flex grid.
I tried adding a flex swf in Flash Field in Live cycle but it is giving me
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file://PDFMedia026281/g/framework4.6.0.23201.swf
I am new to this environement so any help would be great.

Hi,
with Designer ES3 (formerly know as ADEP Designer) you can use Flash files within XFA forms.
Check Niall O'Donovan's article.
He has prepared a nice example of using flash charts which can be manipulated at runtime.

Adobe LiveCycle Form Not Saving Data

I have designed dozens of Adobe LiveCycle forms and have extended rights (enable usage rights in adobe reader). My problem is that sometimes the form is not saving the data for end users. One of my end users even updated Adobe Reader, but still nothing is working and he is becoming increasingly frustrated. Any other suggestions.

Make sure all your fields have a binding set even if it is just their name.
For instance, click on a field that isn't saving, in the Object palette, under the Binding tab make sure the Data Binding is set to Use Name.
Hope that helps.
