Livecycle form

hi,
i have a livecycle expandable form. here there is a table and add row and remove row button for adding and removing table row.when i add additional feature for save form with data it will automatically show 10 rows of table as default. i want only showing 1 row as it was before adding additional rights. can u pls help me?
thanks
Ali

I am limited with Livecycle but I am going to try to help you as best I can. This solution may be helpful.
For field A you will need a script. JavaScript. On the change event. It should be similar to the one below.
if
Text.Field.A.rawValue == 4
then
Text.FIeld.B.rawValue == 17
elseif
Text.Field.A.rawValue == 5
then
Text.Field.B.rawValue ==21
endif
This code should get you on the right track. You can repeat sections of this code to allow for more bindings. Please forgive any scripting mistakes. As I said, this is only meant to help get you on the right track.

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.

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.

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.

How to merge static pdf files and dynamic livecycle forms

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to merge static pdf pages with a dynamic livecycle form to create one file.
Thanks,
-vargs

Hi, Steve.
I have a similar situation. I would like to combine static PDF documents with some forms created using LiveCycle Designer. I read your previous post and I am aware that I can combine them using Acrobat Pro.
My question concerns accessibility.
If I combine a static PDF document and a dynamic form created with LiveCycle, would the resulting PDF still be accessible enough for JAWS to read it properly?
Any help appreciated.

Livecycle form crashes Reader and Acrobat

I've created a Livecycle form that has been working great. However, a user managed to corrupt it somehow and now it causes both Reader and Acrobat to freeze and then close when trying to load it. I also tried it in Nuance which causes a freeze but not an app close. However I noticed in task manager that while frozen, Nuance's memory consumption continues to grow.
Is there anyway to debug this to determine what is going on? Any other suggestions on how I can try to determine what is happening?

Hi,
Does the form crash when you do a preview in LiveCycle Designer? Have you got "When exception thrown" set to break in JavaScript preferences, maybe you can see an exception in the console?

Digital Sinature in Livecycle Forms

Hello,
For our employees to get approval on specific online livecycle forms like reimbursment from the manager, the digital signature field looks quite convincing.
How do we implement it with verisign?
Which product from (Verisign) would be best for our needs -
Digital IDs for Secure Email
Certified Electronic Document Signing for Individuals?

You would need to consult with VeriSign to determine the actual product you should invest in, and how to implement their PKI.
That being said, a digital signature on a PDF is created using an x509 compliant digital certificate. These certificates can be self-signed (created with Acrobat Pro or some other third party utility) or by a Certificate Authority such as VeriSign.
You may also want to look at "electronic" signatures that are supported on PDFs using the signature field object and usually a plugin to Reader or Acrobat. Check out the "electronic and digital signature hardware and software" category at the link: http://www.adobe.com/security/partners/index.html

Inserting Livecycle page into a different Livecycle form

I've been searching around for an answer for a while, but I haven't seen a similar question.
I currently have a Livecycle form made up of several pages, and I am trying to insert a page from a different form. For example, I have 8 pages in form A, and I am trying to insert form B into the 9th page of A, but I cannot find anything in the menus about inserting a page from another form. Can this be done? They have both been created in Livecycle Designer ES v 8.2.1, and they are both editable forms (which they need to be kept as such.)

Hi,
you can use fragments to reuse portions of a form in other form.
Here's a small tutorial about fragments.

LiveCycle form stop watch

Is it possible to create a stop watch that the form user can start and stop as many times as needed. When finished, the total time recorded by the stop watch would be displayed.
Example:
User starts the stop watch at 08:08:00 stop watch displays 00:00:00
User stops the stop watch at 08:45:10 stop watch displays 00:37:10
User starts the stop watch at 09:15:00 stop watch displays 00:37:10 (when started but shows time accumulating)
User stops the stop watch at 09:30:25 stop watch displays 00:52:35
Total time recorded is displayed 00:52:35
If someone has an example form, I would appreciate your help. I have seen a stop watch in an Acrobat form but do not know how to convert it to LiveCycle.

I understand how to get the current time and the time when the clock is stopped. I also understand how to subtract the numbers and then convert them back to time. I have never used variables. I know where they go and how to create them but do not know how to use them in a script. Is there any chance to could create an example? I need to be able to start and stop the clock several times and end up with the total time recorded.
Does anyone have an example LiveCycle form with a stop watch? Am I the only one who has ever needed this?

Standards or Best Practices on limits to Adobe LiveCycle forms as data input tools?

We are trying to determine whether we should be using Adobe LiveCycle forms for our user input pages, or use a web input form (jsf) that is part of the application server. The data captured would then be rendered in multiple output forms. (printing, etc) We've proofed that it can be done, but our experience so far is that to achieve the complex business rules, validations and calculations, there is a lot of javascript code to write. Has there been any industry assessment or best practices on determining when it is best to use a web form vs Adobe Livecycle form for capturing user input? especially when there is a lot of strict validation and business rule, backend data calls, etc? Our input requirements also differ significantly from our output requirements- where we will definitely be using LiveCycle forms.

It sounds like you need use the adobe schema in MII so the output of your transaction matches it.

Jamie

Create Livecycle form that can not be overwritten - (template)

I have forms saved in a central location (folder) on our company network. Is there a way to create a Livecycle form that has Reader extended features enabled and can act as a master template requiring the form to be saved to a different name when saved, protecting the template? (Like a Word .dot)

Scott (past-tense) has the easy answer. Of course, it does not stop someone from changing the Read Only setting, unless this is on a server and the security settings are used instead of the file's properties.
Another possibility COULD be to use the form's preSave event to chack for the file name and change it if the original template is open. the problem is that this probably requires a client side script file with a function to chang the file name. I don't think it can be in a script in the file. It may not even be possible at all. The preSave event occurs before the file is saved, but cannot be used to stop the file from being saved. The idea would be to make sure the template file name is not used when the file is saved. Not knowing the preSave event too well, though, I cannot say if changing the name would be applied before the save or not.
The file's top form presave would be something similar to:
if (event.target.documentFileName == "template.pdf")
//Change the file name to be saved.
See here for some guidance on setting the file name
: XFA form with button to save file with unique filename

I need to populate the livecycle form with data in offline mode in iOS or android. How do I achieve that? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thats good news.
Is there a way currently to populate the livecycle static pdf with data in offline mode in iOS/ Andriod? For eg. if the data is in a xml file, is there a way to populate it into pdf in offline mode? If not, is it possible to achieve this in native code? Kindly help.

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?
